"Cha cha cha!~"
Clemont, Bonnie, and the Clembot scramble to recover Boober from his crater in the ground. "Gee, big brother! I never ever thought I'd see the day where all my hopes and dreams hinged on a sexy pumpkin!"
"I would really prefer if you'd be quiet, Bonnie.."
[BIG. PUMPKIN. P U M P S.]
"Hnn......... " flourishing in the stolen aura coursing through his veins, Garakaw revels with a divine, golden glow. "The transaction was incomplete... I've only obtained half the power I should have absorbed.. But that's of little consequence to me..
because your demise is all but certain!"Garakaw raises his club and by using Bone Rush, stretches it out to a bone twice its original size. "SCREW POLITICS, I NEED NO SANCTION AT THIS DEGREE OF FURY!
I'LL E X E C U T E EVERY LAST HEATHEN IN THIS CHAPEL!! GURAAAAUUUGGGHHHHHHH!!""Cha cha CHAAA!"
The Lore Miser rushes at Gourgeist in a burst of rage and swipes his club at her three times in succession, missing each time due to her swift sidestepping skills. Doubling back with three short hops, she lashes out at him and wraps her tendrils around his club.
"Gourgeist, Foul Play!"
"UppppuuuuuuCHA!~"
Gourgeist yanks the Miser towards her and bashes into him with Foul Play, turning his own power against him. "G-GAAAAAUGHHHH!" he cries, though it comes out more as a bellowing howl with an echo. The poached aura flowing through him experiences a slight array of sparks, but ultimately maintains itself. Shaking his head, Garakaw quickly recovers from the attack and strikes once more at twice the speed. "YOU SHALL NOT IMPEDE ME!!! FEEL CONVICTION!!
KNOCK OFF!""Upupup—P-PUUUU!"
Gourgeist is slugged hard by a vicious Knock Off to the face, tumbling across the nave of the church with nothing short of a battered face.
