…as a deep fog started to rise.

ORIQUA: “I told you we should have fled to Antarctica!”

XIAN: “Less arguing, more fighting!”

ILLA:  (taunting)“Aw, how cute, teh webels are twying to fwight back.”

XIAN: “One day, your hubris will end you and your freak boyfriend.”

ILLA: “Why you little-”

Ice pillars rose and tossed Xian further and further away as Ashwin tried to melt the ice. Meanwhile, Arqu engaged in combat with Oriqua as the wall began to crack and crumble. Collecting together the nuts and bolts of the surrounding area, she formed a defense. Going into the offensive, he bombarded her with boulders of stone from the pavement. Before launching her into the air. Fortunately, she managed to grab onto a ledge of a house and disappeared inside.

ARQU: “Come out madam, wherever you ar- ouch.”

Arqu feels a sting pain in the back of the neck and turns around to find the source.

ARQU (continued): “You have nerve, it’s just such a shame that all of it went to waste, you had so much potential that people could kill over yet you ran away and now we’re here, Ashwin.”

Arqu prepares to crush every nerve and vessel in his adversary’s body.

ARQU (continued): “Any last words, old friend.”

Mustering up as much courage as he he could, he said;

ASHWIN THOMPSON: “T-two, behind you.”

Why?

Why?

XIAN: “Why is violence the only solution for you?”

ILLA: “Fear is stronger than trust, it’s a near unbeatable bond.”

Xian lands with a thud on the ground as Illa stops her attack, breaking his humerus. Giggling under her breath.

XIAN: “Then why did Ashwin leave your clique.”

Turning around, Arqu received a blow to the head knocking him unconscious. Before being dragged away…

Illa stops giggling.

ILLA: “None of your business.”

XIAN: “Hey you should probably-“

Xian groans in pain.

XIAN (continued): “Look behind you.”

Illa turns around and sees;

ILLA: “Dame Oriqua! I thought Arqu would have dealt with you by now.”

And it appears she was not alone, a mob was with her.

ORIQUA: “Turns out he was weak!”

All sorts of junk and arrows were being fired at the invading force as well as Illa.

ILLA: “Retreat!”

Rising up on a water jet, she says…

ILLA (continued): “This is not the end of it.”

…before disappearing away…
