[color=DarkRed]"Sounds good with me,"[/color] Battler grinned back at Sora before returning his attention over to their opponents. He remembered what occurred during his last duel against Dlanor before realizing the truth behind Beatrice's games. He wasn't going to let that happen again, not when he knew what was behind those games after all.

[color=DarkRed]"Heh... sorry for coming late, Dlanor. Who knew that coming out of the grave would take that long in the first place?"[/color] Battler happened to say to the Death Inquisitor, making it sound like they had a neutral stance against each other.

[color=Thistle]"No PROBLEM. In fact, you returned earlier than I THOUGHT,"[/color] Dlanor didn't seem to change her vocal expression when responding to Battler as if they were going to have a casual spar. Of course, Erika did have authority over her, so here... Dlanor knew that she had to go for the kill once more. The very moment that Dlanor would take her first step towards them, she was gone with the wind... The very next moment, they would hear a footstep behind them, and that would be Dlanor preparing to make her first attack.

[i][color=DarkRed]... she's fast...[/color][/i] Battler had that single thought, having not been in a combat situation against someone like Dlanor before.

[color=Thistle]"[/color][color=RoyalBlue][b]Erika solved the fifth game with her REASONING! There are no new facts that can overturn this REASONING![/b][/color][color=Thistle]"[/color] Dlanor exclaimed, preparing to stab both the Red Key and Blue Key into him for good measure considering how he lived through the [color=Red][b]Red Truth[/b][/color] blade from earlier. Though, even if it seemed hopeless to defend himself and possibly Sora, Battler knew that he could be on equal footing in this fight. He had the knowledge necessary for it. With a swift turn around, Battler readied his own golden blade to force Dlanor back.

[color=DarkRed]"[/color][color=Red][b]I can construct another truth using a different interpretation![/b][/color] [color=DarkRed]When two theories exist, the credibility of both can be questioned. In this case, that's both Erika's theory and my own theory which I'm going to use here!"[/color] With a strong swing of his golden broadsword, he was able to successfully drive Dlanor a distance away from himself and Sora. It was an interesting move that Battler was playing here, that he would make another theory to fit the current result of the game and it wouldn't contradict what Erika had...

[color=DarkSlateBlue]"Now then, as Dlanor has given me knowledge of this trial of yours, I believe we can finally begin this dance with one final amendment,"[/color] Robin glared at Battler, a challenge issued by the look, [color=DarkSlateBlue]"Occam's Razor. Unless you can keep this theory of yours as simple as possible,[/color] [color=Red][b]I will never accept it.[/b][/color][color=DarkSlateblue]"[/color] With the power of his used [color=Red][b]Red Truth[/b][/color] charged into his next tome, Robin casted a Valflame spell, a small spark happening to fall near Sora's location before bursting into large restless flames that grew over time in attempts to consume the boy in it's heat.

[color=LightBlue]"Wah!"[/color] the detective clumsily twirled her scythe around, just barely avoiding any fatal blows and coming as close as getting several tears and rips on her dress. Due to her stance losing balance, the Witch of Truth stumbled and fell on her back, the scythe clattering away from her grasp before disappearing in a purple light. While the cat was still in the background, it was also noticeable on how the unconscious Dlanor was somehow missing.[/center]
