Arcee slammed against a wall and barely managed to dodge Dante's blade as he thrusted it at her head.

Spinning, she kicked him in the gut before constructing her arm blades and slashing at him.

Blocking a strike to the neck, Dante formed a bladed staff and slashed at her side before jumping and swinging a scythe toward her head.

Blocking with her blades, Arcee lashed out with a foot and kicked him in the side before dropping and sweeping Dante's feet out from under him.

Arcee aimed a stab at Dante's head, but he rolled up and kicked her with both feet, sending her flying into the wall.

"Go get her, Dante!" Katie cheered from the sidelines as Dante (who was in Cybertronian size) and Arcee sparred.

Dante followed the request and jumped forward, forming a morning star and swinging it toward Arcee, who flipped backward, avoiding it.

Forming a scythe, Dante whipped it toward Arcee, who blocked it with her arm blade before constructing a blaster and shooting Dante in the chest, knocking him backward.

Arcee fired again, but Dante formed a shield, blocking it. Charging forward, Dante swiped upward at Arcee with a blade. Arcee jumped backward, avoiding the blow, and Dante slammed her with his shield, sending her backward.

Using the momentum to her advantage, Arcee spun and slashed at Dante's back, but he formed a scimitar and blocked over his shoulder.

Foot lashing out to kick Arcee away, Dante spun his sword and swung at Arcee, who blocked with her blade and aimed a punch at Dante's head.

The blow connected, blade cutting deep into Dante's exoskeleton. Dante smirked, and his exoskeleton wrapped around Arcee's fist and blade. Pulling her toward him, he slammed her in the jaw with a shield, sending her staggering back, before sweeping her feet out from under her.

Before she could get up, Dante jumped on her, a scimitar at her neck while his blade was poised to strike.

"Looks like I win," Dante smirked.

Arcee grinned. "Not yet." She rolled, knocking Dante off her.

Jumping to her feet, Arcee spun and kicked Dante in the chest, sending him flying into a wall and cracking it.

Grinning, Dante extracted himself from the wall. "You're on."

Forming a spear, he hurled it at her.

Arcee blocked it and jumped, swinging a blade at him, but he leaned backward, avoiding the blow. Not giving up, Arcee followed up with a kick to Dante's side before sweeping his leg, bringing him down.

Forming a blade, Dante swung it up toward Arcee, but she caught his arm and slammed him in the face with her blade, cutting his exoskeleton. Twisting, Dante lashed out with a foot and kicked Arcee's leg, bringing her down.

Dante swung at her, but she backflipped to her feet as Dante jumped to his as well.

Dante lashed out with a scythe, but she blocked, knocking his arm away. Before she could follow the blow, Dante knocked her arm away and aimed his blade at her side while he brought a scimitar to the back of her head.
