Katsu shouted, "We are NOT fighting him! We don't have a plan yet!"
Kentarō raised his poison daggers, grinning like a madman. "Yes we do! We fight!"
Ryosen cracked his knuckles and calmly put his hands together. "Alright, then. Let's do it."
Rokuro spun his staff with a smirk. "Yup, yup, yuppp."
Shichiro released his sword and summoned his twin whips, Solar Flare and Infernal Comet. "Alright, gang. Let's go."
Katsu sighed, tightening his brass knuckles. "Fine… let's make it count."
Typhon's massive form shifted in the distance. His stormy voice thundered through the rain."Oh? You boys again? If you know what's good for you… leave before you die."
Kentarō charged forward. "FUH NAW!!!"
Rokuro groaned, "Oh my days… this guy, bro."
Shichiro flicked his whip toward Typhon, striking dead-on.But the impact rebounded, the whip snapping back like it hit a wall of air.
"What?!" Shichiro shouted in disbelief.
Kentarō cackled, "You gotta hit harder than that, bub! Okay, Katsu, our combo!"
Shichiro blinked. "What combo?"
"Just watch!" Kentarō yelled.
Katsu sprinted forward, landing five rapid punches that froze Typhon mid-motion. Time itself stopped around him.
"Now!" Katsu shouted.
Kentarō lunged, trying to stab Typhon with his daggers, but they bounced off the monster's skin like glass on steel."Oh well!" Kentarō said, shrugging before hurling his poison directly onto Typhon.
Typhon brushed it aside like dust, his eyes burning like lightning."You boys… are long gone."
The earth trembled. Even the distant Minotaur growled and retreated into the storm.
Typhon clasped his hands together-CLAP.
The sky tore open.From the rift emerged a colossal Hydra, its seven heads roaring in fury.
Ryosen's eyes widened. "That's… the father of monsters. He doesn't just control the weather, he commands monsters too..."
Katsu clenched his fists, panic breaking through his bravado. "I told you! I TOLD YOU WE COULDN'T DO THIS!"
For a moment, they all stood frozen. Shichiro, Kentarō, Rokuro, Katsu, Ryosen, staring at the impossible.
All hope seemed lost.
Then, from the heavens, a radiant light split through the storm. A towering figure descended, muscles gleaming like steel, wrapped in divine aura.
"Not this time, minion of Bellerophon," he boomed.
The Hydra froze, stunned by sheer presence.
Shichiro's eyes widened. "It's… it's really him. Isocrates…"
Kentarō jumped, waving his arms. "CAN I HAVE YOUR AUTOGRAPH!!!"
Isocrates laughed, flexing once more as divine power surged through the battlefield."Not now, boys… I've got some business to handle."
