Kicking a phantom in the gut, he replied to the Kyoryuger. "Phantoms are creatures that were born from a dark ritual known as a Sabbath."
He tried to cast another explosion, but the phantom lunged at him and caught his hand, attempting to wrestle control over the ring.

Cécile was in the middle of slashing at where a heart would be on a typical person with one of her phantoms when she saw a phantom lunge at Souma. She had positioned herself close to him so that she could respond as quickly as possible, given that she was slower than most in terms of her fighting style. She aimed her revolver at the phantom wrestling with Souma and fired off several shots, moving closer still. She jumped on the phantom's back and tried to pull him away from Souma.
"That ring's important, right?"

"Normally speaking, phantoms can't use rings." Haruto replied, firing a 'Blast' spell at the phantom, pushing it further back. However, two more came from behind and blindsided them.

Cécile was still on the phantom when he got blasted back. The resulting shock wave loosened her grip and caused her to fall on her back. Her gun was still at the ready and she fired off some shots, while she tried to pull herself to her feet. That had really stung though.
"How many are there?!" Cécile asked as a phantom rushed her while she was still on the ground. She switched from her gun to her sword and tried to force it back with her blade.

Haruto swung his halberd around, striking the phantom in the phantom and knocking it a good distance from them. "I'm a bit astonished, myself. They're usually not the kind of monsters that would be willing to work together on this scale."

Cécile took advantage of Souma's actions and leaped to her feet. "Thanks!" she said, gratefully, shooting at the phantom that had originally taken advantage of her grounded state. "I owe you one!" she added continuing to shoot at other nearby phantoms.
She whistled. "Well this is quite a party. Still not quite sure why I was invited but I'll make due!"

Haruto could still see the other mage fighting off another phantom not too far away from them and commented. "We're going to have to think of other options..."
Too soon, because at that moment, another explosion occurred, between them and the phantoms, blasting both sides apart. Haruto, being the closest, was instantly sent flying from the sudden combustion.

Cécile was close to Souma but slightly further back. She was sent flying but no where near as hard. She wouldn't say she landed eloquently. Again she was knocked to the ground. "Man, I'm glad I'm the tank," she said ambling back to her feet, looking around to gauge hers and Souma's location.
"Any idea what the hell that was and what we should do now?" she asked. She was new to this whole phantom and sabbath thing. She would defer to Souma's judgement. All these hits were being to take their toll. Even as a tank she had her limits but for the moment she was fine. She hoped it was the same for Souma.

"Ugh..." Haruto murmured. He looked at the phantoms, who were just equally surprised from the attack. That explosion was no doubt coming from a magic spell, but Haruto couldn't catch any glimpse from where it came from. However, this was enough for the phantoms to start panicking and running off from the fight.
"What?" he asked himself. Phantoms fleeing from a fight was something new.

Cécile took advantage of the Phantoms running off and sprinted towards Souma's side. "Are you okay?" she asked concerned. He looked worse for wear.
She sighed. "Well, I hope you are because typically when monsters flee it means something worse is coming." She didn't bother to ask if he knew what the worse thing was. With his 'what' it was obvious he didn't.

Haruto looked at himself, noticing mild burns and black spots on his Sorcerer suit and muttered. "Someone else is here, but who-" At that moment, a golden magic circle materialized directly in front of them, but fortunately for Cecile, Haruto knew exactly what was coming and immediately shouted. "Shit!" There was barely any time to react, but Haruto quickly shifted his weight and pushing the Kyoryuger out of the way. The magic circle collapsed on itself and combusted into several repeated explosions on Sorcerer, bombarding him mercilessly. Haruto hollered out in pain as the explosions hit him, with the final one canceling his transformation and knocking him out. |

Cécile knew next to nothing about mages and magic beyond the fact that they existed. Her skill was endurance not speed. And as she hadn't realized exactly what the golden magic circle meant she hadn't responded quickly enough. Souma pushed her out of the way and so he instead was assaulted by whatever energies the golden circle had. She ran over to his side and shook him violently. "Souma?! Souma?!" she hollered, panicked. She didn't know any magic! She didn't know how to help him! What if whatever summoned that circle tried to attack him while he was in a weakened state. Why?! Why had he protected her?! Cécile was the one who wanted to die. She should have been the one to receive the blow and become incapacitated. "Cybil...Cybil...Please...Sometimes we can communicate! Please if there's anything I can do...anything at all...Please show me!" she begged. She felt the stirring of her Ankylosaurus partner. And then she had an image of her Spirit Hammer. She didn't ask any questions. She didn't care if it was draining. If there was a chance that she could do any good with it she would. She focused on the power of Ankyodon from its Beast Battery and felt her own spiritual energy connecting with her partner's. There was a glow of warm radiant blue light and her Spirit Hammer was shinning in her hands. But this was her personal weapon. How in the world was she supposed to help Souma with this? Was Cybil just warning Cécile to prepare herself because something horrible was coming or was there some way her and Cybil's spiritual energy combined could aid Souma? |

(Sorry if I'm doing this, but I'm going have to deal with this as well)
The same white magic circle appeared below the other mage (Mayu) that was fighting alongside them was bound in white chains across the neck. Eventually, the mage was suffocated and out cold like Haruto, leaving the Kyoryuger on her own.

(No, need to apologize. I know practically as little as Cécile about the magic aspect anyway.)
Cécile was at a complete loss of what to do. Fighting total panic, she just stood there holding her spirit hammer, trying to reflect upon the situation. For now the only real thing she could think to do was wait until an opportunity presented itself. She didn't want to go around blindly hitting chains with her hammer. She had no idea how magic worked. She might end up hurting the mages.
Fantastic. How did she, the only non-mage here, end up conscious when all of the people who would actually know how to handle the situation were incapacitated?!

The figure revealed himself when he walked out into view, apparently taking a closer look at the now unconscious female mage he chained up. Once affirming that she is out cold, he then turned to Cecile, his orange visor meeting her black.
"Hmm?" the White Wizard of Conviction questioned. "A Zyudenryu senshi (dinosaur warrior)?"
