[@supertinyking] [color=red]"Tch..even in the afterlife you won't go down without a fight. That's just like you, Chrom...just what is it you all want from me, hm? My death will result in nothing for you..." Michael states, his demeanor now quite different from how it once was, even getting into a more defensive form of fighting, aiming to simply disarm his enemies and knock them down.[/color] [color=yellow]Sensing this feeling of being gnawed on, Vanitas becomes slightly distracted, his attacks not as forceful as they originally were planned out to be. "So tell me, just how did I end up here of all places? I imagined fighting you in front of your friends and humiliating you." He inquires.[/color] [color=lime]Noticing that his opponent was holding back, Ven quickly took advantage and utilized his next blow to knock Vanitas back a fair distance, allowing them both some breathing room as he decided to answer his question. "This woman, Jessica, drew you here. I don't know why, but I guess she believes that all of us fighting will set her free somehow.." He responds.[/color] [color=yellow]"Really now? Man, I despise you, but I despise being someone's pawn even more.." He takes this moment to look up towards where Jessica currently is, glaring at her from underneath his helm.[/color]
