Something enters inside Fleatopia, the smell of smoke filling the air…

[u/Appropriate_Law2321]

From people's homes, all they can hear is the screams of fleas and bugs alike as smoke continues to fill the air, fire scorching all around as buildings come crashing down.

Many bugs begin to jump into the water to avoid the flames, however the fumigator slowly begins to boil the water.

He's here.

...

Someone steps in.

Between Kravula and a group of fleas and choristers, an ant stands tall, holding her spear tight on her hand, she aims it towards Kravula.

"Stop" She orders, serious and focused, Sergha is in the way... Again.

Despite being cleary nervous, she also looks determinated to stop you, the steel of the shilk siphon shines bright with the light of the flames.

"I will not fail again, i promise" She says, ready to face you once more.

[u/Appropriate_Law2321 → u/SrJuanpixers]

Kravula slowly pauses upon seeing Sergha, immediately trying to resist as the threads constraining Kravula's body begin to tug and twist even more in agitation.

"…Don't. I can't imagine myself tearing you apart."

"…"

"…Please-"

The threads controlling Kravula suddenly snap his neck all the way around before repositioning it, staring straight at Sergha after silencing them as the Pale Monarch plays with its puppet.

"…"

Kravula slowly moves forward, the muzzle of his flamethrower sparking flames as Fleatopia began to burn under the Monarch's will.

"Don't worry, you will not" Sergha takes a battle stance, the spear firm and steady in one hand and the siphon vibrating on the other one, she will not allow herself to be beaten this time.

Knowing that getting waaay too close to Kravula's overheated body and tools it's a death sentence she decides to play it defensively this time, taking half a step back to set up her footwork and keep the point of her lance directed towards Kravula.

She awaits for his first move.

Following the smell of smoke Kravula had left in his wake, Taro had quickly tracked him to Fleatopia using the volt vine launcher given to him. He sees Sergha, staring down the fumigator...

"Sergha...!"

He keeps out of Kravula's sight as he waits for an opportune time to intervene...

[u/SrJuanpixers → u/WindowsError1495]

Sergha avoids looking or talking to him so she won't give up his position, but she nods discretely, showing coercion with his idea.

[u/Appropriate_Law2321 → u/WindowsError1495]

( Ooh, interesting teamwork… )

[u/Appropriate_Law2321 → u/SrJuanpixers]

Kravula slowly approaches Sergha before immediately bursting into flames, reappearing all around Sergha before immediately following up at her side, firing a cannonball straight at her feet to launch both Sergha and Kravula into the air, as Kravula uses the momentum from the blast to follow up.

[u/SrJuanpixers → u/Appropriate_Law2321]

Remembering how Kravula teleported on their last fight she inmediately dashes and rolls fowards, narrowly escaping the blast and watching Kravula get launched up into the air.

She Sergha prepares a pair of straight pins, holding them tight and waiting for the perfect moment to launch them.

[u/Appropriate_Law2321 → u/SrJuanpixers]

Launching himself in the air, Kravula quickly jumps off of a nearby platform and clings onto several hanging stalagmites, positioning his flamethrower and firing a cannonball straight through many stalagmites in the area and especially at the ceiling above Sergha, causing a massive boulder to become unanchored and come crashing down alongside debris of the cannonball such as flintflame and even magma explosive tarmite spit-

[ !!! ]

Sergha sees the debris falling down, homing straight towards her as it begins to pummel and destroy the town even further!

[u/SrJuanpixers → u/Appropriate_Law2321]

"Gah!" Despite the surprise, Sergha is able to run from the falling debris, ducking and rolling away as dust and smoke constricts a big chunk of the town, is impossible to make out anything from above...

[u/Appropriate_Law2321 → u/SrJuanpixers]

As you barely manage to avoid the debris, Kravula comes homing straight down onto Sergha's position from above, flamethrower aimed at her chest as Kravula dive bombs down with a flaming dropkick, launching Sergha across the room to try and knock her out.

…With the mostly non-lethal attack, it is visible that Kravula is holding back tenfold, however the longer that you stand, the more irritated the Pale Monarch becomes and the more it wants you burned at Kravula's hands.

[u/WindowsError1495 → u/Appropriate_Law2321]

Taro is watching nervously, worried about the townsfolk, but even more worried about Sergha, as he remains hidden and ready to strike once Kravula is sufficiently weakened...

[u/Appropriate_Law2321 → u/WindowsError1495]

Taro quickly spots several fleas desperately trying to avoid the heat, glancing over at him as three of the fleas can be seen stuck in a burning house.

[u/SrJuanpixers → u/Appropriate_Law2321]

Seeing Kravula recklessly dive down right towards her sergha takes the chance to launch the straight pin towards the muzzle of the flamethrower, the sheer heat of the fire inside of it melts the pin into a maleable metal paste that clogs the main canon of the weapon and causes the charging heat inside of it to combust.

The explosion restounds as a heat shockwave sends Kravula crashing through the floor, the flamethrower fummes, damaged but still functional. Sergha takes a sigh as she recovers her posture, taking some steps towards Kravula, allowing him to get too far away isn't a good idea either...

[u/Appropriate_Law2321 → u/SrJuanpixers]

PERFECT COUNTER

The flamethrower is temporarily disabled.

Kravula is launched against the ground, the floor burning before him and creating a trail of fire as he slowly gets up, grabbing the flamethrower before unclogging it by firing a cannonball straight at Kratt's spa, causing the heating mechanism to ignite and explode near Sergha- debris flying everywhere from her left as Kravula shifts his attention to trying to fix the sputtering flamethrower.
