Paula is spared the bulk of flame damage thanks to the fire-absorbing flame pendant. After a bit of a scuffle, Carbon Dog sheds his ashy exterior to reveal his extremely tough Diamond center. The battle wages on, but eventually Diamond Dog yields to all the aggressive psychic pressure laid into him by the four seasoned globe-trotting warriors.
