Caleb entered the Sealed Realm along with Frosty, being transported into the arena. After appearing, they saw the Alpha Bushi pacing back and forth at the far end.
He cocked his gun as he stepped forwards, "Let's do this." He said with a confident smile, "You ready, Frosty?"
Frosty let out a rumble, emitting a chilly aura as he walked forwards along with Caleb. The Alpha Bushi had not noticed them yet, its back was turned to the two of them as they got to the center of the arena.
"Alright..." Caleb pulled out another sphere and summoned a Lifmunk, which let out a chirp, "Let's do this."
He pointed his gun at the Bushi and pulled the trigger, opening fire. The bullet hit the Bushi in the shoulder, causing it to turn around almost immediately. It let out a growl as Frosty charged at it, shrouded in an icy aura.
The Bushi hunched down as Frosty hit it with the charge, taking damage from the icy explosion. It then disappeared and appeared in front of Caleb, drawing its blade and hitting him with a powerful Iai Slash.
Caleb was struck in the chest, being sent flying backwards, "Aghhh!!!" He shouted as he hit the ground, "Fuck!!"
The Lifmunk fired an air cannon at the Bushi, causing it to flinch slightly as Frosty tried to charge back at it from behind. It turned towards the Lifmunk and swung its sword, hitting the small pal and sending it flying back. The lifmunk hit the wall and collapsed, letting out a pained grunt.
Caleb was clutching his chest, shocked that he wasn't cleaved in half, "Damn!" He said as Frosty tackled the Bushi again, causing it to stagger, "This thing....!!"
Frosty dodged the sword swing from the Bushi, backing away and rearing his body upwards as he prepared an Ice Missile Barrage. Caleb watched as the ice projectiles struck the Bushi hard, causing it to stagger as it let out a grunt.
He got up and stumbled, still feeling rattled by the first attack, "Dammit..." He said, "That Iai attack is lethal! I could've died....!"
Frosty took hits from the Bushi as he bobbed and weaved around it, firing icy projectiles and releasing ice auras that slowed the Bushi down. As he hit him with a third charge, the Bushi was encased in ice, having its hand on the handle of the sword.
Caleb looked at the Lifmunk, seeing that it had barely gotten up, "You alright?" He called out to it, "Frosty is holding it down for us, let's lock in."
The Lifmunk shook its head and let out a chirp, running towards the fray without hesitation.
As the Bushi was released from the momentary encasement, it immediately assumed an Iai Stance, causing Caleb to brace himself for another strike.
For whatever reason, it targeted the Lifmunk; appearing behind it and hitting it with the vicious Iai Slash. Caleb watched as the Lifmunk flew in the air. Its eyes were replaced with swirls, signaling that it was unconscious. It was shrouded in the light and returned to Caleb's sphere.
"Damn!" Caleb said
The Bushi let out a growl as it rushed at Caleb, only to be met by Frosty who hit him with another charge. The Bushi was staggered and Caleb immediately opened fire, unloading the entire clip from his pistol.
The Bushi took damage, but not enough for him to consider the pistol a threat. Instead, it fired a fireball at Frosty, following up immediately with a downwards swing of its sword. Frosty was hit by the combo, staggering back violently as the Bushi followed up again with a horizontal swing.
It then hopped back, swinging its sword and firing a fierce blade of wind at Frosty, who took the hit and let out a pained grunt.
"Frosty!" Caleb was reloading
The Bushi then assumed another stance, preparing a third Iaigiri. Caleb unloaded his second clip, hitting the Bushi with the bullets before it disappeared and appeared next to him. Caleb was hit yet again with the second Iai slash. This time, it struck in his midsection, the force sending him flying and crashing against the wall.
Caleb felt a sharp pain on his midsection where the blade had struck; this time, it had cut through the skin and drawn blood.
"Ughh..." Caleb groaned as he clutched the cut, "Dammit....I should've brought the Enhanced Pengullets...."
He pulled out a sphere and summoned a regular Pengullet, who immediately fired a stream of water at the Bushi. The stream dealt constant water damage onto the Bushi, who was slowly walking towards Caleb, ignoring the damage.
Before it could attack Caleb or the Pengullet, Frosty hit it with another barrage of Ice Missiles, causing it to stagger. It turned its attention towards the Enhanced Chillet, immediately lunging at it and swinging its sword.
Frosty, already adapting to the power of the Alpha Pal, dodged the attack and hit it with a hip tackle. The Bushi felt the hit and reeled a couple of feet before Frosty flipped into the air and struck it with a vicious tail whip, causing it to stagger once again.
Caleb got up and looked at the Pengullet, "Throw everything you got at it!" He said, "Frosty! Keep going buddy, I'll reward you with lots of food if we pull this off!!"
Frosty let out a confident rumble, charging at the Bushi once again, hitting it with a frosty tackle. The Pengullet fired its own barrage of ice missiles, the smaller projectiles flying through the air and hitting the Bushi.
Caleb unleashed more bullets upon it, ignoring the pain of the cut, "Come on...." He said as he circle towards the side, "Keep it busy! I'm going to try and capture it!"
Frosty fired more Ice Missiles at it as the Pengullet hit it with another stream of water. The Bushi was staggering with each strike, trying to pull off another Iagiri. Its eyes were focused on Caleb, aiming to hit him again with a vicious sword strike.
It disappeared, appearing in front of Caleb, who pulled out a Gigasphere. Before the Bushi could swing, its movements slowed down slightly, the Pengullet jumped in front of Caleb and blocked the strike with its body.
"Giii!" the Pengullet cried out as the Bushi hit it with the Iaigiri
Caleb widened his eyes, "No!"
The Pengullet disappeared, having been one-shot by the Bushi.
But before anything else could happen, Caleb threw the Gigasphere at it. In an instant, the Bushi was sucked into the sphere as it began to glow.
"....45%"
"Fuck..." Caleb's body trembled with pain, "Come on...."
"....67%"
Frosty was panting slightly, showing signs of exhausting.
"!00%"
Caleb let out a sigh of relief, "Fuck." He said as he collapsed to his knees, having successfully captured the Bushi, "That was intense."
Frosty walked up to him, nuzzling its snout against his chest and letting out a worried chirp.
Caleb chuckled, "I'm fine, buddy." He told him, "It's fine."
"We did it."
