Swimmingly smiles, for a moment, as he collapses. Then his form fades to a wisp of blue-white flame that lingers in mid-air, flickering fitfully.
One.
Two.
On three, a blast of furnace-heat light smashes out to send Joe wheeling through the air, form scorched and broken. It rebounds, incinerating the axe , before Swimmingly reforms, clad in flame, lines of hemalurgic spikes glistening down his ribs and spine. He is clad in incandescent flame, a pair of brass bracelets locked around his wrists and an axe of pure flame glowing in his hand. He hurls it casually, staving in Joe's skull with a hammer of pure energy that disperses about him, sending a stench like roasting pork into the air. Swimmingly leaps forward, tackling Chaos, and bludgeoning him about the ears with glowing metalminds. Each strike sends a burst of foul smoke into the air, scarring and burning the tissue.
