Angela watched as Bakuto made the first move and rushed Lazuli, using the after image technique he pulled off during the tournament. Normally, the after images did a great job at masking Bakuto's next move, Angela knew first hand that it was a strong technique. She waited to see what Lazuli would do to counter, or even if she would counter. Unfortunately for Bakuto, she did.

Angela had only blinked and Bakuto was sent flying away, landing far into the ocean waters. It took Angela a minute to process what happened as she stood up and ran to the water's edge. Lazuli had already gone off into the water to help Bakuto. [color=fff79a]"What... Just happened?"[/color] Was all Angela could say as she stood in shock at what she witnessed. Not only was Bakuto countered so easily, he was completely wiped out by the counter. Lazuli was barely paying attention to him and yet she perfectly countered and overpowered his after images with no effort.

To say she was surprised would be an understatement, Angela was confused, shocked, and scared. Lazuli was obviously stronger than she let on, and if this was the kind of fighter that was on the planet, what could she expect from someone not of this planet? She fell to the ground and just sat there. What did she get herself into?
