Let us battle... Sebastian

Baaaaam!!!

The impact shook the dungeon as Kim slammed against the wall, stone cracking under the force.

He crumpled to his knees, head bowed, his body refusing to respond. The taste of blood filled his mouth as dust settled around him.

In a flash of purple light, Dan Mello appeared again. He charged towards Kim, his body wreathed in crackling lightning.

Each step left scorch marks on the floor, the air itself seeming to part before his onslaught.

'So that's what it was...'

Kim's thoughts whispered through the haze of pain. His eyes opened slowly, a glimmer of understanding dawning despite his battered state.

Dan closed in, his fist clenched and pulled back, ready to deliver what looked like a finishing blow.

Time seemed to slow.

Kim could see every detail - the sparks dancing across Dan's knuckles, the fierce concentration in his eyes, the way the air rippled around his lightning-charged body.
