Noah takes off his coat and drops it to the ground. He smirks. You take out your blade and ghost step towards him. He doesn't dodge. You swing your blade and appear behind him. Noah's silent. You start walking away, but get stopped by his chuckling.

NOA: What..? Are you suprised?

You turn around to see him still standing with no wounds or cuts. Noah laughs at you.

NOA: Your expression is so shocked! Could it be... you're scared?
RHT: Tsk, stop the rambling.
NOA: Hmph.

You get in position. Noah dashes towards you. You anticipate the attack. He goes for a roundhouse kick. You dodge under and swing your sword multiple times. Noah lands on the ground behind you. He's still standing. You slash projectiles towards him. They all stray off course. You're confused. Noah dashes towards once more, this time even faster. You dodge his first punch but he pulls out a gun from his pocket and shoots it, penetrating your body. Blood starts dripping from your abdomen. You cover the wound using your grey goo.

NOA: You're going into this fight thinking I'm the underdog. Am I right?
RHT: Why does that matter..?
NOA: Heh... I guess you can call it the underdogs' luck. Let's see how long you think you have the upper hand here... harbinger.

You dash towards him, swinging your sword. He dodges under and shoots his gun rapidly. You use ghost step to get out of the way and slash projectiles towards him. He dodges and gets close to you.

NOA: Hey beautiful.
RHT: Disgusting.
*BOOM*

You charge up your blade and release an explosion, forcing him to back up. You take a deep breath.

RHT: (This next move will decide the fate of this battle. Let's do this!)

You dash towards him. He stays still. You miss your swing. Noah laughs at you.

NOA: *chuckle* You missed.
RHT: I wasn't aiming for you.
NOA: Not again!

You dash through him and pick up his coat.

RHT: This yours?
NOA: Tsk, it didn't end well for the last person who tried that. You may have figured out my ability but I can never lose.
RHT: I'm not making you lose. I'm just making myself win. Now the fun begins.

You disintegrate Noahs' coat. His face shifts from a smug smile to an angry expression. He dashes towards you, shooting his gun continuously. You block the shots and thrust your blade into the ground.

RHT: If this is an aquatic haven... this'll work too.

You charge up your blade and cause an explosion, and in turn, leveling the area. Water rushes in and swoops you both under.
