TW: Strangulation, derealization

BACK AT IT AGAIN Y'ALL!!! I've said this before, but I AM NO EXPERT IN FIGHT SCENES, I AM JUST PULLING WORDS OUT OF MY A-

Things escalate, and nobody was in time to prevent it. But hey, it could've been worse, right...?

//

The Dragon suit faces him. BoBoiBoy Blaze forms his chakram in haste. They rush towards each other and clash in the middle. Scratches, slashes, and fire-breaths thrown at each other with equal force.

Yet one triumphs over the other. Claws grip Boi's form, drags him across the floor and shoves him hard on the wall.

Oops... Not quite the scene yet, too soon.

Before Fang could tighten his grip, Boi became a living microwave. He raised his body heat to scorching levels, making Fang stumble back in pain. He used Fang's falter to escape by twisting his arm into releasing him and jumping farther away.

Alright, new plan. Boi turns back into himself, and- "TRIPLE SPLIT!"

Halilintar faces Fang head-to-head as the latter recovers. Both engage in another game of "cat and mouse" with none of the whimsicality. Gempa stands and prepares the ground for multiple traps, while Solar waits for the right time to-

"Solar snipe." A beam of light flashes by Fang just so that he fumbles and falls heavily to the ground, losing his chase for Halilintar. Non-lethal. The ground rumbles, and Gempa clasps his rock hands together, trapping Fang in layers of earth, rocks, and bent steel with an earth giant added just in case he breaks out. 

His plan was simple, really. It consists of trapping and subduing Fang long enough until he can get help, and if possible, also get the shadow-wielder to snap out of it. It was his plan from the start. He doesn't want to hurt Fang, but this seemed like the best course of action with less casualties (and less infirmary time because he's certain that they're going back in there, regardless of their protests). Sure, this'll probably lead to a longer probation because they went behind everyone's backs to "spar", but given the circumstances, he'd rather both of them be alive to solve whatever's happening rather than have either one of them out of commission permanently.

And it could (probably) work if Fang would just stay down. Hali and Solar kept watch while Gempa called for aid.  

(Wow, the rare occasion where they don't bicker with each other! Probably because for now, saving their breaths is crucial to the situation they're in).

Dazed as Fang might be right now, they haven't got much time. He contacts Commander Kokoci immediately.

"Commander! I'm really sorry, but I've got a situation and it's rapidly getting out of hand. Please come to the training grounds ASAP! Fang's not acting like himse-!" He could hear it before he could see, and neither of his counterparts realized it on time.

Unfortunate, seeing as they're both light-based elements.

One loud slam, resounding cracks and shouts of pain, and two sizeable craters later, BBB was back as himself. His knees give out as the pain registers, his eyes blurring at the edges. He heard a rumble and a crash, followed by a guttural roar. The wind blew harsh by his ears.

All of a sudden, more pain bloomed on his back and behind his head. His breaths becoming worryingly shorter. BBB opened his eyes to see Fang's (shadowy clawed) hands wrapped tight around his throat, and he choked.
