[ As sturdy as Gray (and her Alter) is, dragons are creatures of a different order. Doppelgray comes to an urgent halt as she senses the massive power of the creature that manifests and immediately forfeits the shape of her scythe so that it can shift to an oversized shield instead. The dragon's maelstrom of fire descends upon her, but the shield manages to keep her from burning to ashes — even as the force of the dragon's power drives her to her knees and the conflagration rips at the edges of her existence.
Meanwhile, the dragon's interference gives OG Gray more than enough time to rejoin the fight. She pauses at the edge of the flaming downpour, putting her confusion to the wayside so that she can shift her own scythe into an elaborate longbow and arrow. Knowing her own durability, she pours as much magical energy as she can into her arrow, to preserve its journey through the hellfire.
She lets the arrow fly and it strikes true, burying itself into her doppelganger's chest, forcing Gray Alter's hold on her shield to falter sideways. Yet still Doppelgray persists, her body propped up entirely on her magical energy's ability to puppeteer her limbs and bodily functions. ]
