Through the rushing water of the palaces' oasis, Twilight gets dragged into an underwater battlefield. She surrounds her nostrils with air to breathe.
TWL: Bleh! Hey you! Don't you know that's not how you treat a pretty lady?!
ZPH: Haha~! We've got a pretty gal over here.
Zephine turns around and faces Twilight, who looks confused.
TWL: You look like a woman..?
ZPH: I am a woman!
TWL: Oh, makes sense.
Zephine sighs while Twilight smiles cutely.
ZPH: So you're the one father wants to meet so bad?
TWL: Mhm!
ZPH: Personally, I can't see why.
TWL: Let me show you!
ZPH: What are you-
*WHOOSH*
Twilight dashes towards Zephine and goes to chop her head off. Zephine reacts in time to dodge a fatal blow and move back.
ZPH: No remorse, huh?
TWL: Sorry, but I don't like sitting around while knowing Frisk is in danger.
Twilight zips through the body of water. Zephine observes the changes in the pool and successfully predicts each of Twilights' moves. She counters by grabbing Twilights' arm and pulling her closer.
ZPH: Water Wheel!
Zephine spins in a rapid motion, before releasing Twilights' arm, sending her crashing into the wall. She dashes forwards. Twilight gently pushes herself from the wall and gazes upon her opponent. Zephine feels an ominous aura, causing her to be cautious and stop the attack.
TWL: Harmonic Link.
Zephine can feel her body get heavy and her breathing fluctuates. Twilight dissolves the breathing mask she made for herself.
ZPH: What did you do..?!
TWL: Just borrowed something.
Twilight lunges towards Zephine and pierces her body in one swift motion, leaving a gaping hole in her gut. Zephine covers her wound with condensed water and faces Twilight.
ZPH: I can't afford to play around.
She grips her blade tight and points it towards Twilight. Massive energy gets concentrated into the tip of her blade. Twilight isn't worried.
ZPH: Divine Blessing, Virtue of Dedication, Hollow Stream!
A burst of water flows through Twilights' body. Zephine smirks.
ZPH: My blessing allows me to fire a devastating beam that destroys my opponents' cells at an atomic level!
Sudden harmony brushes past her.
TWL: So arrogant.
ZPH: It can't be.
TWL: Calm Disassociation.
Hundreds of cuts appear on Zephines' body. Twilight appears behind her.
ZPH: H-how did you..?
TWL: I simply removed myself from the physical realm, and reinserted once I was safe.
ZPH: Ah, now I know why Father has taken an interest in you, Twilight.
Zephines' body fades away and a rush of water carries Twilight back onto the surface. Frisk was waiting for her there. Twilight smiles and hugs Frisk.
TWL: I missed you!
FSK: Me too.
Frisk and Twilight head through the giant door and head closer towards the final destination.
