Soalious: "I was really hoping that I wasn't going to be kept waiting forever, and look at this here!"

Phillip's team has stepped through the rainbow door as it begins to shut.

Nyria: "Soalious..."

Soalious: "Glad to see that you're all here."

Soalious glares at Cale.

Soalious: "Especially you, that thief."

Cale: "U-Um..."

Xaena puts her hand on Cale's shoulder.

Xaena: "We aren't going to be so lenient like last time."

Soalious: "I wouldn't have it any other way."

Phillip: "And you've also got to remember that I'm the crowning jewel here, just saying."

Thoris: "That's true."

The heroes prepare for battle.

Lariat: "Our forces combined are enough to win."

Veld: "We won't need the others to beat you!"

Soalious begins to smirk.

Soalious: "(in head) You say that now."

Soalious prepares to strike.

Rox: "(excited) We're ready for anything!"

Rox switches to her giant form.

Soalious: "Then come at me!"

Owen and Thoris circle around Soalious.

Owen: "No monologues?"

Both fighters throw their weapons, but Soalious catches them.

Soalious: "I don't need them."

He tosses them right back at them, but Rox shoves them out of the way.

Rox: "No joke!"

The room begins to shake.

Makoh: "I'll go in!"

Makoh jumps into the ground as Phillip creates orange and red flames.

Veld: "If you say so."

Phillip: "Recklessness!"

Xaena: "N-No!"

The flames charge towards Soalious.

Soalious: "Glad to know that your powers are useless on me."

Soalious counters with the same flames, cancelling them out.

Cale: "Th-This bad!"

Black vines sprout from Soalious's forearms.

Soalious: "I'll show you just how much of a one-sided battle this really is!"

The vines wrap around Rox's ankle.

Rox: "(struggling) Let go!"

Cale does the same and tries to rip them off of Rox, but she can't even get them to budge.

Nyria: "Single Point!"

Nyria's laser does nothing to them.

Xaena: "I-Ill try!"

Xaena tries to cut the vines, but can't even leave a scratch.

Soalious: "And it only gets worse for you!"

Rox reverts to her normal size and gets away from the vines.

Lariat: "He's forcing us to hold back."

Makoh leaps out of the ground behind Soalious.

Makoh: "I've got-"

Soalious swings his arm back and slams Makoh into a wall.

Makoh: "(coughing) Nevermind."

Moment of silence...

Phillip: "Well uh... this is bad."

The vines pick up Veld by his ankles, causing him to drop his hammer and the shaking ends.

Veld: "(struggling) Aw come on!"

Xaena: "He's limiting what we c-can do!"

Thoris: "Yeah, and it's getting to be quite annoying."

Phillip rushes towards Soalious.

Cale: "Wh-What are you doing?!"

Soalious guards.

Soalious: "(in head) The moment he strikes."

Phillip punches the base of the roots, causing them to let Veld go and drop to the floor.

Veld: "(rubbing neck) Thanks."

Soalious: "Now why were we born?"

Soalious repels Phillip and sends him right in front of Xaena.

Lariat: "Now what?"

Soalious: "Because of a desire for change."

Soalious looks towards Phillip.

Phillip: "Y-Yeah..."

Owen: "So?"

Soalious begins to slowly walk towards Phillip.

Soalious: "But also from a flaw in yourself, your unstable emotional state."

Phillip begins to get up.

Phillip: "Th-That's a lie!"

Phillip's emotions are clearly going haywire.

Soalious: "You have no control over your emotions so a world where they exist separately was created."

Nyria: "Separate, but together?"

Phillip stands up.

Phillip: "That isn't true! It can't!"

Soalious: "But one emotion has a will of it's own in your eyes."

Phillip charges towards Soalious.

Soalious: "Fear."

Phillip is about to slug Soalious in the face.

Rox: "Get back!"

Several roots skewer Phillip in a multitude of areas.

Soalious: "That was a prime example."

The roots retract, causing the lifeless Phillip to drop to the floor at Soalious's feet.

Xaena: "Y-You killed him!"

Soalious kicks Phillip to the side as Makoh stumbles to join the others.

Soalious: "Why keep something around that you don't need?"

Owen points his blade forward as Lariat draws back his bow string.

Owen: "Sounds like you."

Lariat: "But to think that Phillip's emotional state created Isa."

Thoris prepares his axe as Rox creates red energy around her.

Thoris: "But that doesn't matter."

Rox: "(excited) It just means that we're standing here!"

Veld picks up his hammer as Makoh shakes off the last attack.

Veld: "So we'll continue to fight!"

Makoh: "N-No matter what happens!"

Nyria puts her hands together as Xaena assumes a defensive stance and Cale creates her vines.

Nyria: "Phillip won't die leaving you here!"

Xaena: "I-It's our job as the next generation..."

Cale: "... to put an end to you!"

The rainbow flames swirl around Soalious.

Soalious: "He went out with a whimper, not a bang."

They prepare for the next round.

However...

Phillip is standing in a realm of rainbow fire in his standard attire.

Phillip: "(chuckling) Guess I really can't control them."

Phillip sheds a tear as he looks towards the sky.

Phillip: "I'm finished because I gave into the deadliest one, fear."

Phillip takes a step forward.

???: "Hey, are you okay?"

A young male in a robe and glasses stands behind Phillip.

Phillip: "That sounds like..."

Phillip turns to face him.

Phillip: "... Dae."

Dae: "You know me, but you aren't any of the second generation."

Phillip: "That's pretty difficult to explain."

Dae: "Now I'm really interested, but..."

Dae looks around.

Dae: "Why are we here?"

Phillip: "Maybe because I... died?"

Dae examines Phillip.

Dae: "You don't look dead. Something holding you back?"

Phillip hesitates for a moment.

Phillip: "It's probably because I can't control my emotions."

Dae: "That all? Then maybe I can give you just the advice you need."

Phillip looks at Dae.

Phillip: "Advice?"

Dae: "I may be the god of Confusion, but I can give some advice here and there."

Dae locks gazes with Phillip.

Dae: "I'd say to view emotions as mixed pieces of the whole rather than separated chunks."

Dae begins to fade.

Dae: "Try and think of it like that."

Dae has faded away.

Phillip: "Mixed rather than separated?"

Phillip begins to fade.

Phillip: "I've only got stuff to gain."

Phillip has faded away.

Meanwhile...

Everyone is locked into a stalemate.

Makoh: "(breathing heavily) We're stuck in an endless loop."

Soalious is completely fine.

Soalious: "Well, if you had the stamina to keep up."

Soalious's vines ensnare the heroes, locking them in place.

Xaena: "H-Hey!"

Soalious walks towards the heroes, tightening the vines' grip.

Soalious: "Now for the moment we've been waiting months for."

???: "(weakly) I think you mean a couple minutes."

Soalious: "What the?!"

Phillip gets back on his feet as his flames envelope his fists.

Thoris: "(struggling) Phillip!"

Nyria: "You're not dead?!"

Phillip: "(darkly) No, in fact I'm better than ever!"

The flames erupt beneath his feet, embers landing on the heroes, giving them their stamina back.

Phillip: "(darkly) My emotions are a mix of pieces within me, not pieces I separate and shove to the side."

Soalious: "So? You shouldn't be alive!"

Phillip's hands now have white gloves on them.

Phillip: "(darkly) Dae gave me just what I was looking for!"

Soalious: "Dae?"

The heroes break free.

Lariat: "The god of Confusion, one born from the restart of reality."

Owen: "Along with the Harmonies!'

The corresponding articles of clothing for each emotion on Phillip are beginning to acquire those colors.

Phillip: "(darkly) He gave me those words in order to help me come to my senses."

White becomes part of the flames.

Rox: "(excited) Glad to see you back!"

The flames dissipate.

Phillip: "(smirking) I can say the same."

Phillip looks towards Soalious.

Soalious: "So what?! Our powers still cancel out!"

White flames form in Phillip's hand.

Phillip: "Really?"

Philip sends the fire towards Soalious.

Soalious: "Just watch!"

Soalious sends black flames, but the white goes right through it.

Soalious: "Wh-What?!"

Phillip: "Something's telling me your quite confused."

The flames envelope Soalious.

Veld: "You can't cancel out an emotion you don't have!"

Soalious's vision begins to go blurry and his mind hazy.

Soalious: "(confused) Wh-What?"

The flames burn brighter behind Phillip.

Phillip: "You're basically helpless."

Soalious: "Oh..."

Phillip proceeds to pummel Soalious with a flurry of fists.

Cale: "Wh-Whoa!"

Phillip sends Soalious into the ceiling.

Phillip: "By making me face myself, I was able to come out stronger!"

As Soalious falls, Phillip knees him in the gut.

Xaena: "I..."

Phillip continues to destroy Phillip as the others look towards Xaena.

Veld: "Something wrong?"

Xaena wipes away a tear.

Xaena: "He may get away, but he'll die where should've been this whole time."

Thoris: "W-We're ending this right here?!"

Soalious flies right down the middle of the group.

Nyria: "Sounds like it!"

Soalious shakes off the attacks and the confusion.

Soalious: "(shaking head) Lucky shot."

Soalious charges for Phillip, but he grabs Soalious by the arms before doing a sort of suplex on him.

Phillip: "It's not luck..."

Phillip hops back onto his feet.

Phillip: "... it's what happens when I pull myself together."

Soalious gets back on his feet.

Soalious: "Really? I'm just holding back."

Soalious wraps his vines around Phillip's wrist.

Owen: "We know you're just bluffing."

Soalious: "Sh-Shut up!"

Phillip grabs the vines before ripping them apart.

Phillip: "They're not wrong."

Soalious staggers for a moment.

Soalious: "Shut up, shut up, SHUT UP!!!!"

Soalious jumps back.

Rox: "When are we going to kick his ass over to the grave?"

Phillip's flames begin to swirl.

Phillip: "When he's clearly given up."

Phillip menacingly walks towards Soalious.

Soalious: "I'll never!"

Nyria: "Strange, because Xaena has a different story."

Soalious creates more vines.

Soalious: "I won't! I refuse to believe something like that!"

The vines dash towards Phillip.

Phillip: "Hey man, just accept that."

The heat of Phillip's flames repel the vines.

Soalious: "(shaky) I-I can't!"

The room begins to shake.

Veld: "You will!"

Soalious runs towards Phillip.

Soalious: "Fear gives in to nothing!"

Philip dodges and elbows Soalious in the back of the neck.

Phillip: "Fear is just as powerful as any other emotion."

Soalious's determination is beginning to waver.

Soalious: "Fear is the real emotion here!"

Phillip is face to face with Soalious.

Phillip: "Not anymore."

Phillip looks towards the others.

Phillip: "You ready?"

The rainbow aura forms and glows brighter than ever.

Thoris: "We're ready!"

All of Phillip's flames erupt from beneath him as the others activate their abilities.

Heroes: "Perfect Synergy..."

The others charge towards Soalious as Phillip stands there, menacingly.

Heroes: "... Completed..."

The others attack Soalious simultaneously.

Heroes: "... Emotional..."

Phillip's flames form around his fist.

Heroes: "... Synchronization!"

Phillip lands a final punch straight into Soalious's gut, with an explosion of rainbow fire behind him.

Soalious: "Did I... lose?"

Phillip: "You did."

Soalious is sent rocketing into the edge between the wall and ceiling, creating a giant crater.

Owen: "Nice one!"

Soalious falls to the floor as a button falls out of his pocket and just barely within reach.

Lariat: "It's over Soalious."

Phillip returns to his original outfit.

Soalious: "(weakly) I..."

Soalious reaches for the button.

Soalious: "(weakly) ... know."

Makoh: "H-Hey!"

Makoh takes a step, but Soalious has already pushed the button.

Cale: "He's going to die anyways."

Fear fills Soalious's eyes as he begins to fade.

Soalious: "(weakly) Horus..."

Life fades from his eyes as he fades completely.

Nyria: "He's next."

The door to the next area opens.

Phillip: "Now I just hope that the vice president doesn't suck."

Phillip begins heading for the door.

Rox: "Vice president?"

Phillip: "Basically the guy who takes over for Horus after everyone sees this whole operation."

The others begin to follow.

Veld: "So a contingency plan?"

Phillip: "Bingo."
