The neighbor of a singed meadow, a foggy forest.

It's partly foggy, but is it disastrous? We'll see.

Fog. It only involves tiny water droplets that blur your vision. Fog can come in many thicknesses. Fog can contain other minerals or other small particles. Fog can set off a spooky atmosphere, or can prepare a dramatic entrance. Fog can be poisoning, sometimes smoky, sometimes illuminating, sometimes revealing.

Lasers are more visible, and more harmful too, as well as light, minus the harmful part.

But in this forest, heroes are intertwined with other heroes.

**In Dark Silverbell Forest**

Orion: I always get the feeling that someone is watching us...

Orion: Like, we're unsuspecting targets wandering about on a forest...

Maverick: Really..?

Orion: It's like someone is stalking us...

Maverick: We know one person who is prone to spy: Jet.

Maverick: He's somewhat a robot, more or less, a cyber wolf.

Orion: What does he do?

Maverick: He's good at sharpshooting of course, and he has futuristic gunnery too.

Orion: What about Glaive? He's good at sword making using the old fashioned way.

Maverick: I remember him, I once saw that he made 20 swords in about a couple of minutes.

Orion: It's too bad that both Jet and Glaive don't want to work with us.

Maverick: Wish that they can help us find the culprit of this incident.

???: Or... Perhaps we can help you find the guilty party together?

Orion: Oh? This must be Atlas' voice...

**Boss 4a Appears**

???: Correct! I am Atlas!

Bony Bird Whisperer
Atlas

Atlas: But wait, one more person...

???: Atlas... Don't run off without me again...

**Boss 4b Appears**

Smog With A Cold And Asthma
Zyxo

Zyxo: Finally, caught up to you.

Zyxo: Oh, you found... Maverick and Orion, I believe that's what their names are.

Atlas: Wonder how we coincidentally ran into them?

Maverick: Why are you here?

Aidi: Atlas said something about disasters, storms, blah blah blah....

Orion: !? That raven can talk??

Atlas: My own impressive birdbrain pet who always perches on my moose antlers, he decided to tag along since he was bored.

Aidi: Who're you calling a birdbrain!?

Zyxo: ...Well, why are you here?

Maverick: We're solving an incident that had to do with storms and disasters, like what Atlas' pet bird told us.

Aidi: Ah! We've got allies, eh, eh?

Atlas: Actually, we've came here before you guys. We thought we could use some assistance from you.

Zyxo: It's true, we had to face off against pretty hard people in the way... 

Orion: It would be a big help to us if you join us, right Maverick?

Maverick: ....

Orion: Um, Maverick..?

Maverick: On second thought, I think we can handle this ourselves.

Aidi: WHAAAT!?!?

Atlas: I.. ehm... I beg your pardon??

Zyxo: They declined our offer for no reason.....

Atlas: Well, I guess we're now going to be your opponents this time!

Orion: Maverick! Why would you say that??

Maverick: I thought that we...

Atlas: No time for chit chat! Time to crush you guys!

Orion: Shoot... Things took a full one-eighty.

**BATTLE ENGAGED**

Atlas attacks, throwing big spinning bones upward that fall toward the ground near the Antinomy team.

The Antinomy team had trouble dodging the attacks since the bones were very big and they spin as well.

The Antinomy team had many graze, but they quickly managed to stop the non-spell before getting actually hit by a bone.

-----

First Spell Card: Bone Thrash "Breakneck Splinter"

Atlas repeatedly swings a long bone from side to side, creating bullets that spread outwards.

Maverick was hit, forcing Orion to use his bomb.

Orion's Bomb: Depression "Down Poor"

Orion creates debt bills from the sky that fall to the ground, creating a dark aura that damages Atlas as they fall.

The bomb wasn't enough, but with a few more shots, the spell card stopped.

-----

Second Spell Card: Aviary Card "Bird Colony"

Atlas creates spreads of bullets that resemble as birds, going at different speeds. Atlas himself throws big spinning bones at the Antinomy team.

The Antinomy team almost got hit from the huge bones, but they survived the spell card.

-----

Atlas exits, Zyxo's turn.

Zyxo creates emissions of smoke across the battlefield, then those emissions turn into spreads of differently sized bullets.

The Antinomy team tried to avoid the emissions, but failed as Orion was hit and Maverick uses his bomb.

Maverick's Bomb: Colorful Currency "Canadian Dollars"

Maverick shoots many dollar bills in different colors in front of him, exploding on contact.

Thanks to the bomb, the non-spell stopped.

-----

Third Spell Card: Mysterious Travel "Foggy Disappearing Act"

Zyxo would cover himself with smoke, then the smoke would fade away, leaving Zyxo invisible and creating a spread of big bullets. Then Zyxo would form smoke to reappear where the Antinomy team was and creates a spread of normal sized bullets, then repeats the process but gets faster.

The Antinomy team had trouble shooting Zyxo since he was always moving.

After about a couple of minutes, the Antinomy team captured the spell card.

-----

Fourth Spell Card: Vape Card "Smoke Rings"

Zyxo would create a ring made of smoke at the Antinomy team. The smoke creates bullets that go in a spiral pattern, then after a certain amount of time, the smoke emissions turn into big bullets that aim at the Antinomy team.

Since there were a lot of things aiming at the Antinomy team, they had some struggles.

Orion had soon used his flash bomb.

Orion's Flash Bomb: Tax Return "Invoking Contract"

Orion shoots 6 papers that are black that go in a spread and go the opposite way for a while, thus clearing bullets.

The flash bomb was used a little bit before the Antinomy team had captured the spell card.

-----

Both Atlas and Zyxo attack.

Atlas moves side to side, throwing bones that spin and return when hitting the ground. Zyxo moves around the battlefield leaving smoke where ever he goes. The smoke eventually turns into small bullets that go in random directions and speeds.

Orion was hit, but they ran out of bombs.

After a long time, the Antinomy team stopped the non-spell.

-----

Fifth Spell Card: "Life-Threatening Condition"

Zyxo creates smoke on the edges of the battlefield that create bullets of random sizes and speeds. Atlas shoots focused spreads of small birds at the Antinomy Team while creating larger spinning bones in the air that are affected by gravity.

Maverick was hit, forcing Orion to use his bomb.

Orion's Bomb: Depression "Down Poor"

Orion creates debt bills from the sky that fall to the ground, creating a dark aura that damages Atlas and Zyxo as they fall.

The bomb wasn't enough, so the Antinomy team kept shooting at Atlas and Zyxo.

After a short while, the spell card was stopped, defeating Atlas and Zyxo.

**Atlas and Zyxo defeated**

Atlas💦: Ow ow ow ow....

Maverick: Whoa... Atlas, your leg was cut off...

Atlas💦: Wha..? Oh, it's no big deal, I can just reattach it no problem.

Aidi: That would've been horrifying if you were just a wolf that had your limb amputated..

Atlas💦: Wait, how are you not hurt?

Aidi: I watched the whole thing from the side..

Aidi: Heh heh, sorry I didn't get to help ya..!

Atlas💦: Ugh.....

Zyxo💦: Remind me why we are fighting for you again..?

Orion: We were fighting to see who is more fit to battle the culprit of the incident.

Zyxo💦: Ah... So we lost then...

Atlas💦: Fine, you won, mock us all you want.

Maverick: Not important, we're going to our next location.

Orion: Besides, why would we mock you for losing?

Atlas💦: You debunked my myth of being the strongest youkai in this world.

Aidi: On the bright side, some people did see you lift a bone that is about the size of Howling Hill.

Orion: Gashadokuro are strong, maybe the world's 2nd or 3rd strongest?

Zyxo💦: Can we leave? I'm going to see Xzamu for a while...

Maverick: Go ahead. Orion, we're going to Glum Wilds.

Orion: On it!

Aidi: Be sure to watch out of a phantom coyote rumored to be there!!

Maverick: Phantom coyote?

Orion: Hmmm.....
