"You know I'll win."
"And you know I'll fight."
He looked over at his opponent with a sharp glint in his eye. "You know I'll win. You can't beat me when I'm in this form." He smirked at her and threw an orb of energy in her direction. She neatly stepped to the side and launched one back. "And you know I'll fight. I may not be used to this form, but I'm used to your fighting style!" She launched herself forward and threw a stunning spell, which smacked him square in the face. "Ugh...," he shook out of the stun and stood up, the smirk replaced with a grimace, "So that's how you're going to play it, eh? Now you've asked for trouble!" He launched a barrage of attacks in her direction, throwing orbs of light, eventually ending in a stun. She looked at him, her eyes wide. "You wouldn't..." she started to say, but he cut her off by dashing into her with a flurry of flames, ending in one last burst of flame. She cried out and dashed away, her strength slowly fading from her as the burning continued to ravage her body. She turned to look behind her, and with the last of her strength she dashed towards him, launching a stun and a blast of fire directly at him. She collapsed on the ground, hearing his shrieks as the flames licked around his body, and eventually he collapsed beside her. "I told you I would fight" she said, smiling weakly. He chuckled, "yeah, you did. It's not over yet though, that's just round one!" He laughed as they restarted the game. "What's next on the list of things I could beat you with..." he mumbled to himself. "Hey! What do you mean 'beat you with'! The only one getting beaten around here is your sorry ass!" She replied, fired up for round two. "As I seem to recall, you hit the ground first." He smirked, clicking the randomiser button. She tried to think of a witty remark in retaliation, but she knew he was right, so she focused her mind for round two. "Okay, round two brings us...the metal golem form!" He announced cheerfully. She laughed, "this should be interesting...lets start!" And they opened the arena for round two.
