Adventure of Betram Steelstream 1

Bahamut’s steel wings and Odin’s darkness break into the tornado’s eye. Garuda claws through a titanic construct of black iron, radiant plates, and blazing crystal apertures.

The false Eikon answers with concentrated light, tearing a white passage through the storm. The redirected blast races toward Lostwing as Garuda’s winds collapse around the village below.

Odin dives beside Bahamut, darkness streaming from his spectral steed. The construct pivots, dividing its attention between the two true Eikons while the village trembles beneath the falling pressure.

Within Bahamut’s transformed body, the casting hand burns with renewed strain. White petrification creeps across the fingers as the redirected radiance swells toward Lostwing’s shattered towers.

Odin’s blade flashes through the construct’s radiant guard, forcing it aside for a heartbeat. Garuda surges upward through the opening, but the collapsing tornado folds toward Lostwing faster than she can contain it.

Bahamut roars and dives beneath the redirected radiance. Betram spreads the wyvern’s wings, drawing a blazing barrier across the beam’s path above Lostwing’s shattered towers.

The shield catches the blast, but Legendary force tears through its center. White petrification races across Betram’s casting hand as the barrier buckles under the impossible pressure.

Rather than reaching the village intact, the beam fractures across Bahamut’s failing shield. Splintered lances rake the outer ruins, while the main torrent bends upward into the storm.

The redirected torrent exposes the construct’s radiant core. Garuda dives through the opening, wind blades carving into its black iron frame as Odin circles beneath, ready to strike.

Bahamut’s shattered barrier fades, leaving Lostwing battered but alive. The false Eikon reels above the storm, no longer able to aim its full radiance at the village without exposing its core.

That Bearer suffers petrification from the Curse.

Bahamut gathers the storm’s scattered radiance between his vast wings. The petrifying Curse has already claimed much of the casting hand, but power still answers its Dominant.

Golden-white spheres ignite around Bahamut, then collapse inward with the force of falling stars. Garuda wheels clear while Odin drives the false Eikon back from Lostwing’s battered towers.

Megaflare erupts. A furious rain of tracking meteors descends upon the false Eikon, each impact bursting across its black iron frame and radiant crystal apertures.

The false Eikon’s light fractures beneath the barrage. Its great construct body buckles, armor plates tearing away as the meteors stagger it above the storm.

The last meteor detonates against the false Eikon’s chest, leaving its radiant core bare and blazing. Garuda’s winds seize the opening while Odin raises his dark blade for the next assault.

Bahamut banks into a sweeping circle around the false Eikon, steel wings cutting through Garuda’s shrieking winds. The maneuver draws its blazing core fully into view.

Garuda answers with a piercing cry. Her winds shear across the false Eikon’s exposed chest, wrenching its radiant plates apart as Odin dives through the opening.

The spectral steed bears Odin along the torn seam. His darkness gathers around the katana, while Bahamut keeps circling, forcing the construct to twist after him.

The false Eikon lashes out with a radiant limb. Bahamut slips beneath it, but the glancing force tears a strip from one wing and sends him tumbling through the cloud.

He recovers before losing the circle, though the damaged wing beats unevenly. The renewed magical strain drives white petrification farther across Betram’s casting hand, locking two fingers stiff.

Odin reaches the opening at last. Garuda’s wind pins the false Eikon’s armor wide, exposing the blazing heart to the descending edge of darkness.

Bahamut rises behind the false Eikon, battered wings spreading wide as GigaFlare gathers between them. White fire compresses into a sun-bright point, held precisely until Odin reaches the exposed heart.

Odin’s dark katana descends through the radiant core. Darkness erases the heart’s crystal casing, opening the construct from chest to spine as Garuda’s winds hold its torn armor apart.

The instant the heart is carved free, Bahamut unleashes GigaFlare. A colossal beam of white-gold light crosses the storm and pours through the exposed cavity without touching Garuda or Odin.

The false Eikon convulses around the beam. Black iron melts away in incandescent fragments, radiant plates split from the frame, and the construct’s blazing core collapses into silence beneath the joined assault.

GigaFlare fades into drifting sparks. Bahamut’s casting hand burns beneath the transformation, petrification sealing another stretch of finger, while the ruined construct begins falling through the broken clouds.

Garuda catches the descending wreckage in a spiraling cushion of wind and hurls it away from Lostwing. Odin wheels alongside Bahamut as the storm opens, revealing clear sky beyond the shattered battlefield.
