[Trick's PoV]

"HELLO, WONDERFUL FIGHTERS! IT'S ME, BEKETI, YOUR FRIENDLY CAT!"

Here goes Beketi again for the special instructions. It's a two-on-two match between the Berlin and Manila teams. For the dome slot, they will be enclosed in another dome, in which the arena itself is covered with high-technology glass, which means that they really cannot go out of the ring. For the power slot, they couldn't use sound attacks. Regarding the time slot, they only have twenty-two minutes.

From the outside, we cannot really see what's inside the small dome, but there are drones flying around inside the dome to capture every moment of the battle. Therefore, all of us are looking at the big screen.

"Look at the twins," Fei said. I turned my attention to them and it seemed like they're wearing some necklaces with weird scriptures.

"What are those for?" I asked.

"It varies, but those talismans commonly used to protect its wielder," Jia explained.

"Ooh. That should help them. The witches may be as fierce as their mother," With that being said, I remembered Uncle Bo who is in the infirmary right now with Ellis and Haru. I hope he's doing better as his sons are fighting for their team.

Suddenly, the twins were covered in this force field shield like what Fei is using. That must be the effect of the necklaces.

However, the Jung sisters have different plans. They joined both of their hands and… slowly, their bodies are uniting and forming a strange shape. Now, they're taller… and… odder. They both have four arms, four feet, two heads, and one body.

"Is this some sort of a strategy by the German sisters, partner?" Shamil asked.

"I believe so. The ladies may find this convenient, since they only have one body now. They may move quicker or—" Furkan stopped speaking when Lotte and Mittel's new form disappeared… and reappeared to hit Taki and Taka from their backs. The twins catapulted to the edge of the dome.

"It seems that this form works well for Lotte and Mittel. Their powers are maximized in this new entity. Now, what will the Marasigans do about it?" Furkan asked.

Taki and Taka brought out their whips that are made of stingray tails. They whipped the ring and a force of gushing wind approached the opponent. Yet, with their four arms combined altogether, they formed a shield and the gushing wind diminished.

Taki and Taka ran and whipped some more, yet Lotte and Mittel evaded the attacks. Little did they know, the twins are doing something to the floor. I can see that they're forming something on the ring, like a drawing. They're not just whipping it. Every slash left a mark.

"Did you see that?" I asked Fei.

"Yes, I think they're trying to do something, and it's not good," Fei uttered. "I've seen those marks before…"

Once the twins were done, the marks on the ring lit, and both of them shouted, "Mga aswang, supilin ang kalaban!"

In just a matter of seconds, several massive beasts with sharp fangs and claws ran towards Lotte and Mittel and devoured the ladies' body parts. Lotte and Mittel's shrieks enveloped the small dome. By the looks of it, they were experiencing excruciating pain… which all of a sudden, disappeared…

"Whoa!" Shamil reacted. "What's happening right now?"

"The sisters absorbed the beasts and took them as parts of their bodies… Right now, I don't know what kind of form they are… But I can say, it looks like a… monster," Furkan announced.

The twins scoffed. The beasts didn't work in their favor. Yet the German sisters made use of them. They now have a monstrous form with a lot of heads, arms, and feet in different areas of their unified body.

As another attack, both Taki and Taka brought out a small, foldable knife and raised it. Then, they struck both knives on the ring and the marks that they made with the whip became butterflies. The butterflies were not the same calm, meek, and lovely ones that I know, but these butterflies attacked like bees and wasps! Also, the butterflies had sharp wings that it slashed the monster's body, cutting all the awkward parts like the additional heads and feet. When they fell on the floor, they turn into piles of ash.

Then suddenly, the monster disappeared! It was moving really fast again. Where did it go?

"There they are!" Shamil pointed to the monster who was standing at the back of the twins, yet…

The butterflies formed a shield with pointed wings, which perforated the knuckles of the monster when it was about to punch the twins.

"Good defense, Marasigans! But…" Furkan's commendation was not finished when… the butterflies themselves transferred to the monster's body!

"Shit. I'm not anticipating this," Taki uttered, as it was seen in the drone cams.

"I think we need to summon a big one," Taka suggested.

"Let's do it," Taki kneeled and bit his thumb and it bled. He used his blood to write ancient letters on the ring, and Taka was in charge of summoning. Taka put his palm on the floor and the letters lit. Afterwards, a serpent-like dragon emerged from the floor.

"Bakunawa, lamunin ang buwan!" Taki screamed.

Then, Taka did an illusion in front of the monster, which is similar to the moon.

"That's the legendary dragon, the Bakunawa," Fei explained. "It's a mythical creature in the Philippines that devours the moon."

"That's why Taka did that illusion… So the monster will eat the German monster," I uttered.

In just moments, the Bakunawa attacked the German monster and opened its big mouth! Without a single second wasted, it consumed the monster and bit every part it had.

The audience applauded as we all think that the fight ends, since the German sisters were technically been eaten by the summoned monster.

Jang-mi approached the microphone and she was ready to announce the winner. "Since Lotte and Mittel Jung are not present anymore, the winner is—"

Jang-mi's speech was interrupted when the Bakunawa groaned. After a while, it was convulsing, like it was having seizures… What's happening?

"I think it's not done," Shamil said.

"You're right, partner. The dragon, I believe, was now under the control of the German sisters, who are now inside it," Furkan said his observation.

Then, the Bakunawa rose as if it didn't convulse earlier. It even stared at the twins with red eyes. It looked like it's been under the control of the Jungs.

The Bakunawa then opened its mouth and… it shot several boulders in perfect spheres, with craters that are similar to the moon. The small dome covering the entire ring was shattered! All that's left are the remains at the bottom.

"That's a powerful attack! It destroyed the state-of-the-art arena that we have," Furkan said.

The twins scoffed, as their ally turned into their foe. The Bakunawa attacked them like they were not the ones who summoned it.

"What are we gonna do?" Taki asked Taka.

"Let's summon something that the monster can't absorb," Taka suggested again.

"But we can…" Taki nodded, like he figured what his brother was thinking. Cool twins!

While the Bakunawa was spewing moons all over the area, Taka and Taki held hands and levitated from the ring. They crushed their talismans and raised their hands, as they spoke, "Amihan at Habagat, pahiramin niyo kami ng inyong kapangyarihan para hagupitin ang kalaban!"

Suddenly, the twins' appearances changed. Taki had this long hair, and he had this red scarf on his neck that complimented his new white outfit. Taka, on the other hand, had this brown scarf on his neck, a purple vest, and folded cloth that covered his lower trunk.

"I know this! These are the wind gods of the Philippines!" Jia excitedly uttered. "They summoned Amihan and Habagat!"

"Gods?" I wondered.

"Yeah, cool, right?" Fei winked at me.

Then, the twins, in their new outfit, returned to the ring and formed a very large tornado. So large that it went out of the open roof of the dome! I think it even reached the skies!

The force of the tornado was so strong, that even us in the audience area were being pulled. But of course, Fei created a shield to protect us. The other participants and the virtual audience were also protected by the council member who went out of the council room to assist the entire dome.

The Bakunawa stopped spewing moons everywhere and it was pulled towards the tornado. Then, the twins clapped their hands once and the tornado disappeared. After that, they clicked their fingers and all of a sudden, the Bakunawa was sliced into pieces, exposing the monster of the Jung sisters in fetal position, resting inside the Bakunawa's stomach. Then, the remains of the Bakunawa disappeared.

Both of the twins blew and a bubble was formed. Then, it enclosed the Jung monster inside. After a while, the Jung monster woke up and it tried escaping, but it couldn't. After that, the monster was choking. It couldn't breathe.

"Stop! Don't kill my daughters!" Rosamund screamed from the other end of the ring.

"Did you ever think about it when you hurt our father?" Taki uttered.

"Have mercy!" Rosamund yelled and cried.

"Did you ever think about it when you hurt our father?" Taka repeated Taki's line.

"Please!" Rosamund wailed. "I apologize. I was just angry that I lost."

The twins scoffed again. They both stared at the bubble and raised their hands. The bubble blasted off out of the dome through the open roof. No one knows where it goes, but…

Jang-mi then approached the microphone. "Since the Jung sisters are not in the ring, I will start counting. One… Two… Three... Four… Five…"

After five seconds, the Jung sisters did not come back. They may be sent somewhere on the island of Orkatta.

Jang-mi officially announced the winner, "The winners of the final match are Takipsilim and Pintakasi Marasigan of the Manila team! This means that the Manila team are advancing to the next part of the competition!"

Rosamund ran out of the dome and we all heaved a relieved sigh.
