"Hey hey hey!! You ain't half bad!! I'm swinging with a lot of force here and you're handling it pretty well!!" Ronin says as he continues his attacks.

Ronin wields his blade with ease as he clashes blades with Sigma.

"I'm just wondering how long that kid's toy of yours will last against my blade which is meant for real men!!" Ronin said.

"You know, I sincerely hope that all of you aren't so talkative. It really takes the fun out of things." Sigma said disappointedly.

Hearing that made Ronin halt his assault and put a little distance between him and Sigma.

"Whoa whoa! Did you just say, 'all of you'?... HYAHAHA!! Do you really expect to see or let alone glimpse anyone else?! I've clearly had the advantage so far by keeping you on the defensive! You think you're going to beat me without attacking?! HA!! If anything you're probably to scared to make your move because you know I'll cut you up nice and good!!" Ronin said talking down at Sigma.

Sigma didn't respond to Ronin. Rather he rests his sword over his shoulder with his right hand, pulls out a gray colored phone and begins to fiddle with it.

"OI!! You think you got time to be texting in the middle of a fight?!! You better take me seriously or...... That phone looks awfully familiar..." Ronin said.

"It should. I found it in your right pants pocket." Sigma says as he continues.

"What?!! When the heck did you..?! I don't know how you did that but at least you won't be able to get my password!" Ronin says with confidence.

"Ronin rules." Sigma said.

"What?!!" Ronin said.

"Creativity is not your strong suit my friend." Sigma said.

Hearing that made Ronin grip his blade and grind his teeth.

"Give it back..." Ronin says under his breathe.

"Hm?" Sigma looks up to notice Ronin raise his blade straight upward over his head.

"Wind Eater!!" Ronin yells as he swings his blade down in front of him.

A vertical blade of wind is formed and makes it's way towards Sigma. As Ronin's attack got within Sigma's radius, Sigma brought down his sword vertically to clash with the Wind Eater attack. Sigma easily broke the Wind Eater and simultaneously created a large wave of flames that made their way towards Ronin. That alone got the attention of some civilians down below to glance upwards towards the rooftop.

"Wh-What the?!!!" Ronin says in shock.

Before he knew it, Ronin found himself unable to get out of the fire wave's collision corse and was completely engulfed in the attack.

"Burning Retaliation. A move I developed that not only absorbs all but physical attacks, if used properly it can send the attack back to its origin 10 fold; now here are few things that you did not take into account when you first came here. Knowing that your attacks are wind based and witnessing Olivia perish from flames. Were you not educated properly?" Sigma asked.

The flames clear to reveal Ronin's sword mounted in the rooftop that they stand on with its point facing down and Ronin himself down on 1 knee leaning against it. Large amounts of Ronin's cloths were burnt off and severe burns are shown on a large percent of his skin.

"I held back to give you the choice of a tactical retreat. Will you take it?" Sigma asks.

Ronin could not respond because he is in shock, he could not move because of the burns that ache and will ache tremendously with the slightest movement and only 1 fact would continuously run over and over again in his head. That fact that he could've died and was unable to do anything about it.

"Hm? I must've burnt your tongue by mistake." Sigma said.

Ronin did his very best to at least stand up but its the same as before. Ronin is utterly defeated physically and mentally.

"Well I guess that's that. Now, which out of the 2 of you would like to be next?" Sigma asks as he turns his head to see 2 cloaked figures standing on another far away rooftop in Times Square, New York.

"Our Intel was spot on about his unique senses." Said the 1st cloaked figure.

"I wonder what else our Intel was spot on about?🎵 I think I'll go test him out🎵." The 2nd cloaked figure says.

"Hmph! Be my guest." Said the 1st cloak.

The 2nd cloaked then slowly levitates over towards Sigma, stops in mid air and stares.

"My what a fearsome aura🎵. It could almost bring chills down my spine🎵." The cloaked said.

"..... I am suddenly uncomfortable..." Sigma said.
