Seraphim stood at the entrance to the arena, waiting to be called on for the next match. He was ready to get it over with if it meant one being one step closer to fighting Aries. The announcer came onto the stage with his microphone saying, "We apologize for what happened in the last match however we won't allow that to stop us, our next match will be another member of Starks high, the science wiz Hayden going against the undead martial arts master from Rogers University, Musashi!" Hayden gave Seraphim a light tap on his shoulder as he walked past. Hayden had been watching over Eira for Seraphim and keeping him updated on her condition. The two contestants jumped onto the stage and watched each other. Musashi bowed and got ready in his stance, his right arm bent with his fist in front of his chest, his left arm stretched forward with his palm facing out.
Hayden threw out his four orbs that started floating around him ready to fire. He also drew a small metal stick from his pocket, the ends shooting energy out forming a staff. Hayden charged at Musashi, spinning the staff around while swinging it. Musashi swiftly used his palms to redirect the attacks away from him, complimenting Hayden on his technique. The two exchanged attacks with neither landing a hit, the crowd cheering on the fight. Cyrus walked up next to Seraphim and asked him how it was going. "Hayden seems to be holding his own but I don't think he'll win. Musashi isn't using very much of his strength and has yet to go on the offense," Seraphim replied as the two watched Haydens orbs start firing.
Musashi dodged the lasers flawlessly, his talisman bobbing with his movements. Hayden used the staff for momentum to flip over Musashi, thinking, "I can slam the staff down and discharge a jolt of electricity to stun him." Hayden flipped forward in the air, bringing his staff around, but was stopped by Musashi catching the staff. Musashi smirked at Hayden while bringing his fist around to break the staff. Hayden stared in surprise as he landed next to Musashi staring at the broken part of his staff. "My apologies but I must end this match now," Musashi told Hayden, pulling back his fist. Before he could take the punch, Musashi was stopped by a blur going past his cheek.
Haydens staff had repaired itself, extending back to almost hit Musashi in the face. "You can't break it that easy, I worked hard on this proto staff," Hayden said, spinning around for another attempt at a hit. One of Haydn's orbs flew down and attached itself to the end of his staff, a small rocket popping out of the back and activating to give more speed and strength to his swing. Musashi began speeding up to dodge the attacks, Hayden using another orb to speed up even more. "Just go down already dang it!" Hayden cried jumping into the air and spinning. He brought the end of his staff down, finally hitting Musashi on top of the head.
Musashi fell forward, his hat and talisman falling off, however before he hit the ground a burst of energy began to swirl around him stopping him from falling. Seraphim, Cyrus, Hayden, and the crowd looked in awe as Musashi stood upright, his eyes glowing. Hayden let out a cry and tried to swing at Musashi, but was countered, Musashi moving faster than anyone could blink. Hayden flew out of the arena landing out of bounds, Musashi casually picking up his hat and putting it back on. Cyrus and Seraphim ran over to check on their friend who lay on the ground smiling. Hayden sat up and looked at the two saying "Well guess I couldn't win but hey now I can support you two." The two helped Hayden up and they began to walk towards the exit. Cyrus and Seraphim looked over at Musashi as they walked past, Musashi nodding to them as they did. The three knew that whoever got to fight next, would be a fierce battle.
