When Tarvas heard the announcement of going into the arena being one of the first sets, he was disappointed. He was slightly relieved by the fact that his competition didn’t look like a professional - and yet, she seemed to be prepared as well. This could go either way.

Both of the contestants entered the arena, sizing each other up, with both waiting for the other to make the first move. Tarvas looked over at Nya and made eye contact for a couple seconds. He acted first, charging at a slight angle in an attempt to knock down his opponent. Nya dodged and sent a knee into Tarvas’s side. He dropped and rolled, coming up quickly to swipe her foot to the side as she tried to get him to stay down. She lost her balance fell hard. As he came to finish her off while she was trying to get up, she rolled to the side and let him fall where she was just at.

They both got up and began to circle each other again when she suddenly sent a foot out to hit him smack in the chest, catching him by surprise. As he stumbled back, she let loose a punch and another kick that floored him. He got up, dazed, and threw another easily countered punch, to which she sent a solid one that knocked him down; this time for good.
