Shayla stood on a Muldoon cliff, high above Makoto, his friends, and Jinnai and the Bugrom. "I've been itching for a good fight all day!!" she shouted.

She unsheathed her great lamp of fire, mounted it on her right arm, and pulled on its ripcord with her left hand.

Flames burned-- but then, they faded and fizzled out.

Shayla frowned. "Hang on a minute." She yanked the ripcord again, but her lamp failed to ignite.

Makoto, Fujisawa and Alielle nervously glanced at each other.

Shayla kept yanking. "I've gotta get an electric starter for this thing," she said to herself.
