The hydra roared again, challenging the newest opponent. Tessa roared back, hers more thundering. The two dragons charged forward, cracking heads against head. A ripple went down both their bodies.

Lacie stared in amazement.

Enderstorm grimaced as she watched the two dragons fight. Tessa was huge, much bigger than Enderstorm had expected. Enderstorm was glad that she herself was a little more…conveniently sized.

One of the heads snuck around and went for Tessa's jugular, where her armor was thinnest

She turned, snarling, and brought up her huge front leg and crushed the hydra's head beneath her foot. She shot scorching hot flames at the stump, preventing the two heads from growing from it.

"Be careful Tess," Lacie muttered

The hydra slipped under Tess's much larger form, trying to get an advantage at her underbelly. Tessa anticipated this, flapping her four wings to hover above the hydra, and turned around, snapping her jaws over three of its heads, severing them, and breathing more fire before letting go. Four down, six more to go. Artificial blood ran down her maw.

"Woohoo! Go Tess!" Anna cheered, watching from a safe distance, still protected by Endie.

She roared, landing where the hydra originally was while the other dragon looked at its severed heads–which weren't growing back–then turned to her and roared, furious. It charged, and Tess swatted it away with one swipe of her taloned foot. It flew across the arena and hit the wall, creating a crack, and sliding down to the ground. It didn't move.

Anna caught her breath. Had Tess really won, or was it a trick? she kept watching closely, focused on the outcome.

"Is it…Is it dead?"

She snorted and paced the arena, clearing the area in three steps before needing to turn around. Her yellow slitted eyes never left the crumpled hydra. She could smell the electricity running through the hydra's body still. It was playing dead.

"No, it's not dead," Tristan confirmed

Lacie watched it closely

The hydra suddenly burst to life when Tessa got close to sniff it. It clawed at her eyes, biting at her neck. She roared and wheeled back. Her front legs wrapped around the robot as she reared up, her thick tail keeping her balanced.

Lacie jumped at the sudden movement

Tessa let out a bone rattling roar, bursting into flame and slamming the hydra beneath her, pinning it. The dragon screeched and writhed beneath her, trapped in the cage that was her talons as it was burned.

Anna's eyes were wide. Tess had never actually been frightening before, but this… At the same time, it was fascinating.

"Don't die," Lacie yelled

Anna watched as the tension grew. It seemed to writhe in Tess's grip, somehow not dying.

Tessa snarled, not pleased with this outcome. She let go, then immediately clamped her jaws around its body. It took the opportunity to bite at her vulnerable eyes, no longer pretending it could feel pain.

Anna stayed still, trying not to blink. she wanted to tell Tess to be careful, but didn't want to risk distracting her.
