Outside
-Ah, water... It's managed to cool Ruben off into a burnt black, but solid form...--...It doesn't last for long-
-The exterior cracks and quickly bursts open as a huge fiery bird
◊ emerges from it, screeching-
Ahhhh, good effort! But I'm sorry to say it didn't look like it worked!
-now a NEW asshole is standing nearby, shielding his vision from the bird-

You don't even know this detail? Goodness, and here I was thinking you might've been a Spirit Medium!-Winks at Marcia- Don't sweat the details, funny cat, for now get away from here! He won't stay friendly anymore~!
-And right on cue, the bird swoops in and just barely misses Allen-

-The bird resists...! It rapidly beats its wings to escape up higher for the moment--god what the hell did you two run in on Ken and Guile-
-Allen- Hey now, hey now, if you haven't the tools necessary to fight no need to force yourself!
-Tosses a strange silver ball
◊ up in his hand-
Well, cat's out of the bag for me, I don't think any stuffy elders will object to what I'm going to do.

Mmm... Take a bit of context clues~!Henshin~!
-He twists the knob on it and holds it out to the side as black flames suddenly erupt from the ball and envelop him-
-Meanwhile for Ken-
-KAWHAM, you actually manage to hit it! The bird's balance is disrupted, but it just counters by releasing a wave of heat out at him-
