John nods, but his gaze remains on the TV as he replies, "Austin has a short fuse, so he'll probably be the one that makes the fight more violent. Ben, on the other hand, held a spear to my throat the other day."

Ben doubles over in pain as Austin knees him, then cries out as his arm is torn by Austin's claws. Red eyes blazing with anger, Ben practically spits out the words, "Fine, we'll play dirty." He uses one hand to wrench his arm from Austin's grip then, still holding onto the other student's hand, Ben flips over Austin head. As he drops down behind Austin, the talons on Ben's feet extend, and he digs them into Austin's back before twisting Austin's arm hard. He then leaps backward and begins circling Austin.
