The atmosphere of the battlefield is intense, with the air thick with the smell of burning magic. The two stand before each other, their eyes locked in a fierce gaze as they prepare to engage in a battle of immense power. One bears the power of hatred, fueling their magic with a deep and seething anger, while the other wields the power of prejudice, calling upon ancient and dangerous magic to defend their beliefs.
NOR: Many have tried and failed. What makes you different from the others?
MLC: Something tells me I have a chance, and that' the only reason I need.
NOR: What a foolish resolve.
MLC: *shrug* Each to their own.
Noire dashes towards Malachi, swinging her axe repeatedly. She moves after Malachi, who dodges back after each swing.
NOR: Stop running away!
MLC: As you wish.
Malachi stops his movement and dashes towards Noires' swing. He replicates a sword and clashes with her axe, in turn pushing both back.
MLC: Let's see how you do on the defensive!
Malachi replicates a second sword and dashes towards Noire, moving in a spinning motion, making it hard for Noire to anticipate his attacks. He swings and then zips around Noire, giving himself a chance to land a blow on her.
AKU: Not so fast!
Akumu bursts out spikes from Noires' back, forcing Malachi to go back. She clenches her axe tight.
NOR: Your party tricks are very annoying.
MLC: Wanna see another one?
Malachi replicates a shield and stands on it, before replicating a bomb and throwing it under his feet, launching himself into the air.
NOR: So flamboyant, I hate it.
MLC: I've got more!
Malachi waves his hand and a storm of arrows get replicated from the book. Noire shields herself with Akumus' shell.
NOR: So you can summon any weapon out of that book. What a lame ability.
MLC: It's not that! Any weapon I've laid my eyes upon or heard about, I can pull from out of this book. Very neat, right?
NOR: (Don't tell me.)
Malachi lands onto the ground and replicates a revolver, firing multiple rounds at Noire. Unable to dodge in time, they pierce her body.
NOR: (Dammit, I still haven't gotten fast enough to dodge bullets. It's just like the time I was fighting that pesky cowboy.)
Noire covers her wounds and dashes towards Malachi, smashing her axe into the ground and causing it to crack. Malachi jumps over the attack.
MLC: Nice skill. Mind if I try it out?
NOR: What?!
Malachi pulls out a replica of Noires' axe and copies her movements, smashing it into the ground and cracking the floor underneath Noire. She backs up and looks furious. Malachi spins his newly acquired weapon and taunts his opponent.
