Dire Straits

Jun could barely see anything on the other side of the wall after it dropped down between them. There was a single light that was doing a poor job on its own as he could barely see his own hand in front of him. However, he could still make out most of what was being said by Ryo.

"What is the purpose of separating us if only one of us can fight anyways?" Jun thought. He knew there had to be a reason as there was usually a reason for most if not everything he experiences. "Well...in whatever case I'm not getting out of here until Ryo wins this timed fight."

Jun wasn't sensing a strong source of divine energy from whoever else was with him which worried him even more. If it wasn't the strength of the enemy that was the challenge, it might be another nontraditional hurdle they'll have to cross.

On the other side, Ryo was already cracking his knuckles.

"Alright, no time to waste. Are you ready or what man?" He called out to the enemy.
