BETRAYAL

Conflict part II

"I don't want to fight you, Shae!" Westfall tried for the hundredth time to talk his way out of this fight. And again, she ignored him. Despite his strength and endurance, Westfall was beginning to tire. Shae however, was not.
With each attack, she seemed to be gaining more energy.
She managed to catch him off guard, and took advantage of it. She knocked him off balance, and with a upwards punch sent him flying across the room. Westfall managed to skid to a halt and regain his balance for a moment but then tumbled over himself again. What is happening to me? He cursed himself.
Shae flipped backwards, and looked up at Westfall to see if he was up. A close fight was what Westfall would beat her at. She needed to keep her distance.
She could see Westfall struggling to get up, and if she let him get away then this fight would go on longer than it had to.
She charged towards him at full speed, and leaped into the air doing a flip as she got closer.
Westfall knew that she would kill him, without hesitation.
The moment Shae was about to land her killing blow, Westfall flipped backwards and performed as sweep kick to Shae's feet the moment she landed. She tumbled backwards, and that bought Westfall some time.
Shae caught her balance and flipped backwards onto the platform behind her. Before they could leap at each other again, Iris ran into the room.
Westfall looked over at her with gratitude.
They walked towards Shae.
She sneered, "Finally, a challenge!"

Dovaa watched Sek'loniir as he observed the fight below him.
"Can you feel it, sister?" He asked, turning around to face her.
"Can you feel their anger? Their hate? Their fury?"
"Their conflict is feeding you, isn't it?"
Dovaa scowled in disapproval.
"I must stop them!" She started to run out of the room.
"No!" Sek'loniir shouted at her. He raised his hands and lifted Dovaa from the ground, dropping her back to where she was standing.
Dovaa landed on her feet, and glared at Sek'loniir. She raised her hands the same way he had, and used her powers to lift Sek'loniir off the ground.
Surprised, Sek'loniir looked down to see that he was high above his throne.
With a downwards motion of her arms, Dovaa smashed Sek'loniir onto the ground.
After a few seconds Sek'loniir got to his feet and dusted himself off, shaking with anger.
"If you will stand in my way, then I guess we must fight!" He raised his fists.
Slightly reluctant but not entirely surprised, Dovaa raised hers as well.
