Alexandria pauses in the air, suspended by her energy. She drops Nikal onto the bridge, who scrambles back to Avrel's side. Alexandria notices Aleissia under Sevantei's grasp, enraging her tenfold. She evaporates into a lilac dust, then reappears by Sevantei to rip him away from his capture. The two find their way to the middle of the bridge. Sevantei continues to make his escape attempts, but Alexandria blocks his every move. He gives up and stands firm on the bridge. 

Alexandria floats in front of him and chants, "Sevantei Nexus. You can do many, many things, like hide yourself from others, run away from your friends, and send the world into five hundred years of chaos. But I will never let you disrupt all of TIME."

"I. NEVER. TOUCHED. YOUR. TIMELINE." he responds, in separated chunks. Sevantei had mustered out a face showing his own rage.

"Maybe not," she brings back, "but there is something you have committed by yourself."

"What?"

Alexandria pauses to breathe. "You endangered my family."

"I already told you, I NEVER-"

"I wasn't talking about my biological one." As she says that, she looks forward to Avrel and Nikal, and turns her head enough to motion at Aleissia. Sevantei understands her intentions.

"You STUPID BITCH!" he screams at her. "I'M SAVING THEM! I'M FIXING THIS!"

"You may think so, but if that's true, you're doing the wrong thing for the right reason. And that's not justifiable to me." Alexandria shoots up white energy, which spreads out and falls down, eventually encapsulating the two of them and the bridge in a barely translucent white sphere. "And your choices require justice."

"You want justice? HERE YOU GO!" Sevantei lunges at Alexandria at an inconceivable speed, with his arm covered in a massive black sword. After the magnificent flash dispurses, they see Alexandria with her arms covered exactly like Sevantei's, but in a cross. She opens her arms wide, slashing him and sending him flying back into the bridge. Alexandria dashes in to attack him, but he flips, grabs her at the scruff of her neck, and slams her, face first, into the bridge next to him.

He jumps back up and converts his blades to giant fists. Alexandria picks herself up, but keeps her blades, thinner this time. Sevantei moves to claw Alexandria with his right claw, and when she blocks, punches her in her core, sending her back. She slides on her feet, rather than falling back. Alexandria thrusts forward with her two purple rapiers. Sevantei smacks one to the side and pitches his fist at her face. She uses her second blade to pierce his fist, which shatters as if it were glass. He makes a sidearm swing with his remaining fist. She ducks under and latches onto his arm. He responds by pointing his other arm, in a physical fist, at her. 

A silent moment passes, and Sevantei shoots out energy pellets like a gatling gun, from his arm. Alexandria falls backward, gritting her teeth.

"You've got some nice defences, but I have far more tricks," Sevantei chortles.

"Don't bet on it," Alexandria whispers. She dashes forward to him, and he takes a swing at her. As his hit makes contact, she vanishes. Sevantei almost loses his balance, and looks forward, flustered. Arms reach around his and trap him in a hold.

As he struggles against her, he lets out, "How did you do that? You disabled all our teleports!"

"Who said I was teleporting?" she responds with.

Sevantei thinks back to his punch. Analyzing every single moment. She came toward him. He threw his fist. It landed on her skin. Suddenly, she was gone.
