Wetsar, wide eyed, swooped down towards Apollyon through the foggy rain, reaching out his talons to grab the red Enfernae.Apollyon, seeing what was about to happen, shouted "NO!! YOU IMBECILES, THAT POWER BELONGS TO ME, AND ME ALONE!!!" As he tried a last desperate effort to use his powers to remove the stone from the monarches' talons. Strain as he might, it was impossible.

Towards the cave where the Aerattl citizens were taking refuge.
The firescales dragon squeezed his eyes shut and with a shudder, slammed full force into Apollyon, instinctively scrabbling for purchase on his scaled back as his claws left scraping red-hot marks through the red dragon’s scales.
