The Abyssal Needle entered through the eye socket and simultaneously exploded.
It gushed with dark flames and covered the head of the crane with a cloud of smoke.
The Zenith inside fumbled wildly.

Defensive membranes of water gushed in and out through random parts of its exterior, even though there weren't any attacks aimed at those areas.
It fell back and waved its wings like it was performing a shoddy dance, hitting only air.
The Elders didn't wait a single second to exploit its wide openings.
All six of them targeted different areas of the giant crane, but they weren't as harsh as expected.

They were going to claim it for themselves!
