Halfway Point

Levin was a master in his craft. He would quickly dart around each of the three fighters, either shooting a beam towards one of them or wrapping his hands in the light energy and trying to stab or slash them with it. Cassandra was pretty capable of deflecting the attacks without much effort, but the lack of force meant he clearly wasn't acting at full capacity. But Julian and Samuel weren't as good. Julian was already beginning to struggle, putting all of his energy purely into not taking a fatal blow. And Samuel's leg injury was catching up with him quickly. He was wincing every time he had to put weight on it, despite his efforts not to show it. But every time he landed, Levin gazed. Even if for a second before he could avoid Cassandra's attempt at an attack. But his relaxed composure stopped for a brief second as Aubrey's roar was heard throughout the building, and footsteps were quickly getting closer.

Levin heard a quick "did they?" before jumping back from a stab of a spear he didn't see coming from Cassandra. The wound was deep, and he stopped for a brief second, but in that moment Julian was able to clump his fists and land a two fisted attack that made him snap his head back in pain, right before a kick from Samuel to the head sent him falling back. He stood again, just as the other heroes approached him, scrambling to get back on his feet as tthe Kerobons leapt towards him, quickly allowing his hand to cover in light and slash forward, cutting a deep wound on Zee's leg, causing him to scream in pain. Samuel lunged forward, only to be grabbed by the neck by Levin. The casual tone was gone, and in it's place was murderous rage. Samuel tried kicking, but the leg was gone with a slash, and the rest of him was discarded to Marcus side. Marcus stepped in front of him, keeping his hands to his back as he observed the two sides meet each other.

On one side was the Kerobons, the Stone Queens, the Battlestorms, alongside Julian and Cassandra. Einer, Jade, and Hikaru were standing in front. On the other side was Levin. Alongside Adya, Ziwadi, and Daciana, was one more girl. She was small, wearing a dark blue flat cap, torn denim shorts, and a white button up shirt that looked a size too big.

Capri didn't say anything. She merely pointed towards Levin, and Zee and Gam both jumped on him without a word. The small girl quickly touched Zee with her left hand and quickly punched the air behind her, forcing Zee to do the same. Gam's left hand swung behind him, and both turned around and swung their hands, only Zee ended up swatting an unprepared Capri across the room. Gam was swapped in midair with Adya, right next to Daciana. She quickly took her blade out, impaling him in the chest. She dematerialized the blade as quickly as she could, it made avoiding the oncoming attack from Capri easier. She summoned the blade again, and Capri ducked underneath it in a blink, kicking her chin on her way up. Jade lunged in after her, splitting into four copies. Each one managed to weave between the strikes, until Daciana increased her speed, slashing through each clone in an instant until only the real Jade remained. She quickly took all the damage as the clones and their hits were absorbed into her, so she used the last of her strength to grab onto her, landing a quick knee to her stomach and putting her in a headlock.

"Hikaru, shock us!"

Without another word, Hikaru drew a circle in the air, as Gisella stepped in between them and Adya before she could weigh them down. Hikaru shot the electricity forward, and Jade tried standing still as the electricity rippled through both of them. Her and Daciana both started dropping, and Jade quickly felt her grip loosen as she fell to the ground. Daciana slowly got up, summoning her blade and holding it against Jade's neck. Fiorella swept in to block the strike, while Capri dove in to pick her body up, leaving it next to Samuel. He was bleeding really bad, but still alive. Marcus didn't seem to be making any moves, just observing the chaos. Their eyes met briefly, but the man looked away a second after.

Julian had no clue where to go. The remaining fighters against him were way out of his league and would demolish him with one attack. The only option was to go up against the unknown girl. Her power was known, but whether or not it worked on only one person at a time was another question entirely. So he lunged towards the girl, who dodged the move. There was an expression of terror on her face, but she quickly started running, and Zee was running behind her. She crossed both her hands and sped up, uncrossing right as Zee was behind to strike Julian in the back, leaving him on the ground. He suddenly felt himself change places, and was in front of Daciana, blade in hand. Cassandra screamed and lunged towards them, and Daciana's blade was plunged directly into her chest. Cassandra ignored the pain. This she could recover from with a little time. Instead she grabbed her spear and stabbed her straight in the arm.

Daciana let out a scream of both pain and terror as her blade faded into the air, watching the fire inside Cassandra slowly erupt. She grabbed Daciana with her free hand and slammed her to the ground. Luca quickly grabbed her and threw her away from the chaos.

"Get out." He commanded softly.

"You think you can demand things from me?" Daciana yelled out, her defiant spirit keeping up while the four Legion members left were still fighting.

"You're in no position to fight." He sighed, going back to fighting Ziwadi, who swapped him with Capri.

Levin took one look at both Capri and Daciana. He mouthed a quick 'sorry' to Daciana without changing his facial expression, and charged a blast of light that hit the end of the room.

Daciana looked as Capri was in front of her, even her back looking charred. Luca was shielded by Gavin.

"Leave." Luca repeated.

Daciana did as he asked this time. Luca looked ahead for the final push. Half of the top fighters were out. Four more to go.

This was it.
