-"A man with eyes of gold, ruby red hair, and ivory wings..."

Lei staggered back as he blocked Ayawamat's punches. A red aura covered the bug mage's fists.

"So he learned fighting magic," Koukyuu said as she watched Ayawamat's continued onslaught against Lei.

Akito also wasn't doing so well. Seron had frozen both of his arms and one of his legs.

Lei's partner closed one eye as his dragon, Dracoeon, desperately tried to protect him. Dracoeon winced as its own body became encased in ice by the chilly breath of his opponent.

"Master, it is done," Seron's dragon said, bowing.

Seron patted his hat-shaped head. "Nice job." The kid formed two icy blades and charged at them.

"No, you don't!" Lightning destroyed the ice blades while a gust sent the kid flying into the barrier.

"You coward," Ayawamat taunted as he slowly approached the two. "Hurting a child? Who knew that you had it in you."

Lei narrowed his turquoise eyes. He twirled his butterfly swords and charged at him. "At least I protect my partner! You can't even do that!"

Akito stood up and flew into the air using a strong gust of wind. "Lei, let's do a combination attack!"

Lei grinned. "Good idea, those tend to help the hero defeat the bad guy."

Ayawamat shook his head and sighed. "Stupid children. This isn't a freaking anime." His long dark blue hair grew longer and attacked us.

"What is this?" Akito said as hair latched onto his arms. "Hair magic?"

"It's Silk!" Lei said. He slashed the silk with razor wind but it was to no avail. It couldn't be cut!

Ayawamat looked at Lei in disgust. "Tsk. You won't ever learn... You can't defeat me, loser." He dashed and knee-kicked Lei in the gut, sending him flying into the other corner of the barrier.

Blood rolled down Lei's mouth as he tried to push himself off of the ground. His arms, one of them looked limp compared to the other... Ayawamat had damaged one of them during his earlier barrage.

Akito stood still as Ayawamat passed him. "I don't like to hurt children..." He turned around and kicked the air. "Huh?" The kid had vanished.

"Over here," called out a voice... an adult's voice.

In the ceiling stood a golden-eyed Akito. His ki had shot up several levels for no apparent reason.

"Who is this boy?" I asked, eyes wide.

"A nobody," Korgermu responded. "Or so we thought. The child is simply a friend of my son. As far as I know, he isn't even of noble lineage."

"You got to choose... if you choose right then I can end this war for you," a voice echoed in my head.

I gasped as Akito slashed Ayawamat like a beast. The child was jumping around on all fours. His blue hair was pointed back like a wolf's.

"Adela, you alright? Are you having a vision?" Nyima asked. Her gaze returned to the battle in front of them. "Though there's no fire."

I grasped my head. "Angel wings...golden eyes...dragon powers."

Nyima gulped. "What does that mean?"

"You stupid brat!" Ayawamat yelled as he kicked Akito toward the glass wall around the ring.
