From inside the stove-like situation, an eruption of fire and magma shot upwards from a vent about the furnace as the volcaner launched a arcing meteor in Jazz's direction, boosted and emboldened by its position... but no matter how strong the blast of burning rock was, it still scattered off Jazz's fresh protections in a shower of molten rock that only lightly scuffed the scales.
Jazz took this as a sign to redecorate. With the sudden wash of mud covering everything, steam began to hiss and rise from the over-sized stove and it buckled in places as the metal of its construction warped, cracked and corroded. None of the viruses seemed pleased by this development. The chumpy, on top of the now muddy mess warped quickly across to Jazz with the intention of giving the hare a solid what for with both fists; even so, only one blow connected and, like before, it only succeeded in scraping the scales of his armour.
Jazz had other things to focus on anyway, and lobbed his next dangerous payload with a precise arc, to land the seed directly into the previously burning furnace hatch of the stove, right in front of the now muddy and squelching volcaner. Things were still for a moment; it was hard to see anything inside the hatch... then the entire over-sized stove began to rumble and shake. With a sudden burst of tearing metal and rapidly growing wood, plant life began to sprout and erupt from every seam in the large object, pushing through the mud. In particular, two massive wooden towers burst up through the hot plates, skewering both of the steaming Vulgears before either of them could really get worked up. It seemed the volcaner itself had, somehow, avoided the worst of the rapidly growing assault, and the chumpy had pulled itself out of the way just in time as well, but the entire stove buckled inwards and seemed to collapse further, settling into a corroded mound of mud and soil as the attack faded away.
From the wreckage, the volcaner managed to pull itself out of the much and sputtered briefly, before launching a burning blast towards Jazz, trying to leave some kind of mark, but the hare was already moving and the shot didn't connect as he darted forward – slower than usual, but still quick enough this time.
Perhaps his offence was a little slower as well, or perhaps the swordy was just ready for him by now, but when Jazz moved up and attempted to make his quick manoeuvre around the swordy, his darting blade was met with the metallic clang of the shovel haft parrying his strike, turning it aside at the last moment despite his best effort at getting on the virus's blind side.
The chumpy took the opportunity to try its own luck again, warping close to take two more swipes at Jazz; as before, however, one missed and the other, though it landed, only managed to deal a pittance of damage to his resilient armour. When it warped back to the top of the mound, Jazz leapt after it. The swordy, just winding up to take a swing at Jazz in return was forced to do the same, warping to appear beside the chumpy with its blade lowered and drawn back, ready to lunge... however, its move was poorly timed. Jazz made a sweep with his own blade, getting two deep cuts for the price of one thanks to the swordy's timely pursuit.
