Bisharp's body shined brightly the second and a half before Dusknoir made contact. Bisharps's shar arms rose to attempt to block, but he was pushed back far and took substantial damage from the attack. "Shit," Sebastian said to himself. This wasn't going to be an easy battle. With the unique rules and this particular match up, they'd have to go against their usual strategy of outlasting their opponent and, instead, take a more offensive approach.

As the Power-Up Punch finished, Sebastian affirmed Bisharp's instincts. "Metal Burst" he said and Bisharp opened his mouth from behind his defensive arms. When the blades pushed the punch down, an intense blast of air erupted as if 1000 steel poles were chimed all around the two. Even Sebastian squinted from the intensity of the blast. He hoped it would have allowed some time for Bisharp to act first this time as the Metal Burst was shot at point-blank range.

With allowing Bisharp to finish his flourish properly, Sebastian called out his next command. "Night Slash!" Dusknoir would have had the time to counter effectively, but Sebastian hoped this would keep the pressure on their opponent. Bisharp's arms faded to a dark purple and soon turned foggy. As he trampled his way toward Dusknoir, he flourished his arms menacingly and expertly. He was performing a Swords Dance without command and this slowed the attack's speed itself. Bisharp believed this would keep pressure on but when he heard Sebastian shout "No!" as he performed this, he grew worried but followed through strongly as if to prove his trainer wrong.
