The girl grasped the handle of her tonfa as a rust colored mimic appeared beside her, copying the action. Across the arena, three blonde haired boy's darted in different directions with a blur of lilac between them.

The girl and her clone stepped back to back, raising their tonfa. A quick thumb across the base and a green glow coated the ends of the originals as her brothers decoys converged. The girl watched their footwork carefully, [colour=B7410E]“You missed a step.”[/colour] she shouted, swinging a single tonfa towards the leftmost of the three boys, knocking him backwards in a powerful burst of wind.

Two of the Rost’s in the arena dissolved while the third caught himself in a roll, jumping to his feet. With a spin on his heels, the mouse eared boy fired one grenade from each pistol. The first grenade landed to his sisters immediate right and she ducked away as it detonated, only for the second to detonate and destroy her  doll. [colour=C8A2C8]“You always fall for that one.”[/colour] he joked

A split second later, the female twin flipped to her feet from the ground, linking her tonfa into a staff. Lila shifted a band on the shaft and the ends of her weapon crackled with electricity. She laughed, [colour=B7410E]”Really should work on remembering that move, huh?”[/colour] the female mouse joked, bolting towards her brother. The blonde haired girl spun to drive her staff towards him lengthwise towards her twin.

Rost caught the weapon against the tops of his pistols, pressing the sparking end aside and clear of his body to flick the twin pistols upwards, allowing the blades to extend. Swords armed, he sent a left handed slash towards Lila

A slight click could be heard as leaf shaped blades flipped out of the ends of the metallic staff, deflecting the incoming sword with a quick spin only for Lila to be caught by a kick to the shin as Commandere ceased its rotation in her hand.

When Lila stumbled from the strike Rost attempted to strike across the shoulders, however the double ended spear in his sister’s hand split suddenly and was brought up to guard. A quick twist of her wrist brought the still electrified end into his arm.

[colour=C8A2C8]”Shit, that stings.”[/colour] he shouted , jumping back and splitting in triplicate once more. Each of the boys took an identical position, swords crossed in front.

Lila spawned a new doll, swapping the active dust in her tonfa to ice. As her brother and the copies approached, she passed off one of the tonfa to her mirrored clone, each swinging across to launch a handful of crystalline shards, unexpectedly shattering against the swords of all three [colour=B7410E]“Finally took my advice on the earth, huh?”[/colour] she asked, lining up her clone to link the tonfa back together into staff form

[colour=C8A2C8]”It was a good call, what can I say?[/colour] the three copies of her brother said in unison, each transforming their right sword back into gun form and firing two rounds. The grenades made contact with the ground behind Lila and two detonated, the spray of flame burning away her doll again.

As her doll evaporated, Lila lunged forward towards her twin[colour=B7410E]”Nice try!”[/colour] she shouted, delivering a full force strike to her twin’s gut with one of her tonfa, releasing a powerful jolt of electricity just as her doll fully evaporated.

Just then, a loud buzzer sounded twice

[colour=b18fdf]“We appear to have a double knockout.”[/colour] Glynda observed as the two portraits on the display crossed out.

The twins shrugged [color=#B7410E]"[/color][color=#B74414]N[/color][color=#B8471A]o[/color][color=#B84A20]t[/color] [color=#B9512D]e[/color][color=#BA5433]v[/color][color=#BA5739]e[/color][color=#BB5A3F]n[/color] [color=#BC614C]s[/color][color=#BD6452]l[/color][color=#BD6758]i[/color][color=#BE6B5E]g[/color][color=#BE6E64]h[/color][color=#BF716B]t[/color][color=#C07471]l[/color][color=#C07777]y[/color] [color=#C17E83]s[/color][color=#C2818A]u[/color][color=#C28490]r[/color][color=#C38896]p[/color][color=#C48B9C]r[/color][color=#C48EA2]i[/color][color=#C591A8]s[/color][color=#C595AF]e[/color][color=#C698B5]d[/color][color=#C69BBB].[/color][color=#C79EC1]"[/color]

[colour=b18fdf]“Very well.”[/colour] Glynda noted, unimpressed by their confidence.

As the twins retrieved their cloaks and departed the floor laughing, Glynda spun the combatant selection. The randomiser brought up the image of a pale skinned girl with large russet brown eyes framed by black hair messily chopped short, next to a lightly tanned man with dark brown eyes and shoulder length red hair, half of which was tied back from his face. [colour=b18fdf]“The next match shall be between Rori Russette and Rufus Tenné.”[/colour]
