Nicori turned to face his mother and pumped his fist in the air and yelled out to Z.
"Get him, Mom!" Nicori cheered. "Show him who's the real Boss! Show him no mercy!"
Before Nicori left to run off with Asuza and the others, he frowned at how horrifying his Mother has become. He felt such an evil aura coming from her, causing his antenna to twitch. He barely recognized Z in this state, but thought little of it and knew it would be better to run before the others were caught up in such a battle.
Mama, is that really you?
He kept close to Asuza, nervous about what will happen to his Mother and the group.

Z stared at the Boss and his barrier, and within an instant, she was right in front of him, the tip of her pencil just barely cracking through the barrier. Her pony-tentacles were wrapping around the barrier, attempting to crush it with the Boss inside of it. With each and every attempt she stabbed her OmniPencil against his barrier, there was a shock wave that blew across the area. There was no doubt, Z was out to kill this man.
"You hurt Nicori...~ You hurt Nicori~!" Z's voice echoed. "You will suffer for your actions~!"
Before the Boss would even react, the tentacles threw the Boss and his barrier across the area, slamming it against the buildings and toppling them over. There was no hesitation from Z's part, and she immediately chased after the Boss.

Lyrik saw himself flung into a portal and was healed up. He was back to his full strength and saw the angry Z flinging the Boss around like a ragdoll, the amount of power coming from her scared him.
"D-Do you think we'll be able to outrun this battle?" Lyrik said nervously. "I'm back to full strength, so maybe I can use my boosts to help us move faster. Besides, that... Z-Thing is flinging the Boss around the place! W-What if she hits us?"
"I don't think Mama will send danger in my direction," Nicori spoke up. "Maybe if you guys stay near me, Mama won't target our direction!"
Lyrik scratched his chin for a moment and covered his head when he felt the shock wave brush upon him. He then looked to the battle then to the others.
"Well, think the kid is right? Is it worth a try?"
