The light from Bisharp's Metal burst attack blinded Sophia. She raised her arm to protect her eyes. She was used to the dark places where ghosts tend to gather and pulling long nights in pitch blackness. She had gotten used to being under the stadium lights over the last few weeks of the competition, but this light was worse. It hurt to look at. 

Sophia heard Sebastian call out his next attack. Immediately, she refocused on the match. She say Bisharp about preforming a sword dance in preparation for the Night slash. She did not have to think about it. That attack would be devastating it it hit. She immediately shouts to Dusknoir, "Iskandar, Double team now." The instant she does Dusknoir obeys and vanishes just as Bisharp's attack was about to land.

Dusknoir reappears in not one but three places surrounding Bisharp. The crowd gave a cheer from how intense the battle got. Sophia's Glaceon nervously pranced by her side. Sophia looked down at her Glaceon and said, "Calm down, boy. Get too worked up and you might end up melting." Suddenly Sophia got an idea. Dusknoir's use of double time had bought needed time to think. Now it was time to act. She flashingly and commandingly extending her arm and shouts, "Iskandar, melt him down to scrap metal. Fire Punch!" The three Dusknoirs vanish as the one on Bisharp's left side launches his attack with a fist of fire.
