Cayde continued his immediate fumbling with his hand cannon of a pistol, his head perking a bit in hearing Lucifer. However, before he could reply, he gasped at the loud sound of the X'ypher being impaled on a fallen one's arm, glancing up. He nodded very briefly to Avalon, and his mechanical voice rung out with both a sense of light hearted confidence despite the actual content of his words in reply to Avalon's statement about bringing enough ammo.
"I didn't!"
Cayde somberly straightened himself out, watching the immense horde of X'yphers charging in. He paused for a brief moment, raising his gun with a somewhat neutral and non-chalant tone in steadying his aim.
"Well, if you guys [Beserk, Brachi and Bage] can't get that big blast of energy to clear a path, I just want to say that I'm a huge fan and when we die here, I hope we can all come to enjoy our servitude to the zombie king."
The occasional bang of his gun rung out, Cayde indiscriminately firing off round after round. The bullets lacked the strange power he had displayed moments earlier in freeing Avalon, but even despite hitting their marks, the sea of X'yphers remained unchanged under the mere individual that fell to each of his shots while Cayde light heartedly joked to himself.
"Got you. Got you. Got you."
Vegetto floated back from the sudden expulsion of eletricity from Eleki, his arms at his side. He remained silent at the elite's mention of the King, his eyebrows only perking a bit in the potential revelation of information on the one in charge. However, his expression returned to its normal firm stare in realizing Eleki would not elaborate any further on his own.
The Potara fusion naturally tensed up as Eleki charged forward, preparing for the incoming assault until the elite vanished from view. The flash of lightning did little to deter Vegetto; his eyes following an unseen force for a minute and the man unmoving from his position as lightning struck around him. However, Vegetto gasped and whirled around quickly, having only responded in time for the first lightning bolt to strike his extended two fingers from his right hand. The electricity coiled around his forearm, and with a grunt, Vegetto flicked his arm to the side to expel the devastating energy out towards the ground. He flew up, rising in the air and using his arms to act as a conduit for the lightning; the energy in his body fluctuating and guiding the electrical bolts out his opposite appendage.
Vegetto grimaced, straining to keep pace and throwing away bolt after bolt shot by Eleki. Yet his eyes turned to the side, in seeing the horde charge towards the Breakers and Cayde, Vegetto tossed a few bolts down to try and thin the massive sea.
He stopped, however, once the fire from Eleki ceased. Vegetto blinked in seeing the shot fired to the sky, and turning his head up, the Potara fusion floated by while the massive surge of electrical bolts rained down from the sky. He immediately floated down, and upon seeing all of the bolts heading directly for him, Vegetto canted his head a bit and tensed up his muscles with a deep breath.
"Alright body...don't fail me now!"
Vegetto suddenly threw up his arms, palms open as the lightning funneled down into his hands. His dual voice rung out in a monstrous roar, the electricity and sheer might of the overwhelming force crackling around his entire body. His arms and legs began to slowly swell up; a side effect of the technique he was using to seemingly absorb the lightning bolts raining down on him. Vegetto's pupils wildly glanced around in seeing the change slowly take effect on his body; his entire frame expanding outwards and his muscles gradually ballooning out to see his body expand out in size by tenfold.
Vegetto blinked, struggling to lower his arms down from the sheer size of his obese body in floating in the air. Lightning crackled violently around his entire body; an aura of electricity nearly forming like flame from the sheer leakage of energy all around him. Yet once Vegetto realized he had completely control over his movements, he suddenly broke out into a cocky smirk, his eyes turning down to the horde rushing in.
Inhaling deeply, Vegetto suddenly lurched his neck forward and down, his mouth massively expanding outward. The mountainous energy that he had absorbed from Eleki's attack shot forth from his mouth; hundreds of lightning bolts raining forth and rapidly closing in on the charging horde that were only feet away from the Breakers at this point. As Vegetto expelled the lightning, his body began to slowly shrink down back to its normal size.
Once Vegetto had finished redirecting the last bit of Eleki's attack down to his own kind, he slowly straightened himself out and turned to face the elite. He kept a confident smirk, his right arm raising up and using the back of his gloved hand to wipe the side of his mouth in a mocking manner. He gave the elite X'ypher a small wink with his right eye; the right hand lifting out and waving Eleki on to taunt him into continuing.
