“Kill them?” Kairi asked, voice shaking slightly. “Isn’t that a bit much?.”

The Ward Leader’s eyes narrowed as she watched the screen. “Something’s wrong.”

“What should we do?”

“What can we do?” Aedan interjected.

Marwa thought for a moment. “Probably nothing - for now. Just be ready to move if we’re needed.”

As Gamble’s knee hit his hand, Talion pushed out his power through it. Subtle, nothing that either would notice if he didn’t know he’d done it. That was always how it started. With a smirk hidden by his mask, he listened to the man’s bravado while dodging or turning away his strikes. 

“I’d be less worried about what she has on me,” he hissed, “than what I have on you.” The last word coincided with Gamble’s last attack - which Talion made no attempt to block. The familiar agony of blunt-force impact swelled through his knee, and at that very same moment, the same pain shot through Gamble’s.

Talion laughed. “You might have ‘Lady Luck’ on side, but you aren’t the only one capable of flirting.”

Kaze watched the faint-blue-clad assailant bolt towards her, and she smiled with a wicked grin. “Awww, poor baby, didn’t anyone tell you how this ends?” With a kick, she shot off the top bar of the arena and blinked in her direction.

Before slamming into the blue wall.

A flurry of scratches coated the armour, but left no visible mark whatsoever. Kaze, now flush against the obstacle and moving back towards her perch was slammed into the cage with a roaring clatter, knocking the wind out of her. Afterwards, she fell and thumped onto the arena floor, mumbling in rage. Her eyes set firmly on the girl, now, eyes blaring with contempt. 

“Alright, girly, you’re on.”

Since her target fled and angered Kaze, Zabaniya began clearing the smoke with all her effort. It made little effect, because more seemed to appear as she cut through. The source soon became noticeable in one of the corners above the arena. With a flick of her wrist, a barrage of shadow-spears howled towards the thickest part of the smoke in an attempt to stop the flow and reveal what was causing the haze in the first place.
