I dreamed of a scorched earth... A new shoot sprouted from the earth... It bloomed in the morning sun and whispered to me... Like fireflies to a flame life begets death.

Fought evenly with Base Acheron to a stalemate), higher with Complete Combustion State (With this transformation, Firefly's power is increased drastically)
