Unaru listened to Lysander bloviate about his glorified servitude and was once again reminded why he disliked the bloodfiend bastard. But just because Lysander was arrogant did not mean that he was not dangerous and immediately after those dismissive words left his mouth the shadows all around them began to waver, it was a cloudy day, there were not many of their ilk to be found save those that were created by the split in the sky he’d created. Unaru suspected this was more lucky coincidence than clever ploy on his part but he’d never known Lysander to stumble upon a success that he was not willing to attribute to his genius, alas it happened too quickly for him to do anything about his shadow fleeing from him leaving the growling serpent to snarl at the betrayal.

It was a bold statement, after all, though Unaru had only defeated Lysander during their first meeting and every battle since that had been nothing short of a stalemate that usually had devastating consequences for the world they fought on. Let this be the final match then. Knuckles cracked as Lysander donned his battle suit and wind whipped as Lysander launched himself into the air, darkness trailing behind him, no doubt bolstering the already otherworldly power. Not one to be outdone Unaru hunched his shoulders. Lowered his weight against the incoming winds so that he would not be sent flying like the orange men and chambered his fist as a brewing storm of emeraldine energy whirled to life around his forearm and then as Lysander entered striking distance…

[h1]THOOM!!![/h1]

Unaru thrust his right hand out to meet with Lysander’s but before their knuckles ever met in the middle the pressure generated in the middle would become so intense that neither strike could move past it, frozen in their spot with darkness and lightning snapping between them. Snarling snakes of energy carving trenches through the ground on either side as the cracks continued to increase in intensity around them. For but a moment Unaru grinned. That surly disposition that had calcified over his personality over the ages crumbling to expose the young drake who still loved to fight even after all this time, the world trembling between them, the pressure waves flinging the little orange men through the air with high-pitched little orange screams.

But just when it seemed like the stalemate would never end, Unaru shifted his weight upon his right foot. To an outsider observer it did not seem like much. But Lysander who had fought him so many times before would no doubt be immediately alerted to something sly was afoot underfoot. Beneath the surface, a pipe exploded and from it a rising wave of chocolate shot up, angled to hit Lysander with the force of a raging semitruck and to fling him into the air. Riven through with snarls of emerald electricity that would deliver a stunning shock to the fiend’s body. Perhaps not for long, aged as he was, but even a picosecond or time was enough to provide an opening for the Thousand-Winged Dragon.

In the case that this worked, Unaru was on the move, launching into the air beside Lysander. Not quite entering the water funnel but snapping his fist towards it and allowing the pressure wave to pummel through it, should it hit, the force would be enough to send Lysander spiraling into the front of the factor dead-center with the massive golden[color=FFD700][b] W[/b][/color] that loomed over the front doors and just a few stories below Wonka’s office. The impression in the stone? Shaped eerily like a man’s fist but several times too large, dozens of times too large, enough that it seemed as though a giant had reached down from the sky to personally take a swing!
