I'm not--[While the Heroes are still exchanging words with Ales and before they begin attacking him, he attempts to retort to each of there accusations. A somber look crosses his eyes. He can't tell them the deepest reason for this betrayal if it's so personal. Yet...isn't this what his Shadow was about? Revealing that he has his own insecurities, that he's lonely?
Yes. Yes, it is. They wouldn't understand. Ales takes a deep breath.]
Kalki was my friend ever since I spoke with her as Parasraya.
[He is unable to say any more, as multiple spells and knives fly in his face. The minicopter is knocked out of his hand, he's pushed off-balance, and the water spell throws him onto one of the spikes protruding from the darkness in the ceiling. In addition, Saori manages to swipe 1 Crystal of Wind from his cloak.
Ales pushes his face off the metal.] Activate.
BOSS BATTLE: Archfiend of Wind and Mechanical Dragon music Ales Mansay, after five years working for Kalki, has grown stronger with the power of the Crystal of Wind. Wielding the Onion Knight, Calamity Knight, and an army of robots, none can ever hope to defeat him...until the Heroes of Light returned. The Mechanical Dragon is one of Ales' largest projects, coiling up in the upper area of the central office until it is called. It can float around in the air, strike enemies with the spikes on its side, and fire a powerful laser from the crystal in its mouth. It acts as a defender for its fragile owner.
[As the robot uncoils, the room is illuminated by a powerful light source from above: The Crystal of Wind, floating on the very top of the flying fortress. The few pipes that cross the ceiling are few and far between, clearly put there only for necessity. The actual office is far bigger than what was seen before.
The Dragon takes it turn to release itself from its slumber and tower menacingly over the Heroes of Light. Ales, aided by Narayana's Blessing is able to make two actions. First, he fires a Heavy Shot much more powerful than what most Heroes were capable of at Mary as revenge, and then an Arm Shot at Jade. Fortunately for Jade, luck was on his side and did not remove his casting abilities.]
