The arrow soared through the air, majestic, yet deadly. It would have done some serious damage if it had hit Tigris' vantage point. The flimsy house made of wood, and styrofoam exhibits wouldn't last very long against an arrow of that power.

It never reached it's destination.

As Llinos would see, the arrow was cut into two pieces halfway through it's short flight. Valka's face, smiling, and staring straight into Llinos' eyes could be seen, as she grabbed the part that contained the payload, and threw it straight back at the archer's face.

She twirled up into the air, and a section of the roof was blown to oblivion as she came down, using Doppler to create a magnificent, burning ball of flame that ensured her entry into Tigris' vantage point.

She landed inside, standing with a terrifying grin on her face, as her eyes were coloured a burning red. The smoke filled the halls as the building started to burn, slowly, but surely.

She didn't waste any time, and burst into the room of the bell tower, Doppler and Schwartz both in full-use as she started to fill everywhere around her with steam, obscuring their view.

This helped when a bullet thudded into the wall behind her, as she simply disappeared, smiling at the face of Tigris as the entire room filled with the white fog, blocking radar, and any heat-detection methods, essentially turning both of them invisible.

''Anata wa yaku tame ni junbi sa rete imasu ka? Tora?'' (Are you prepared to burn? Tiger?)

To Tigris' eyes, she appeared out of nowhere, as a black shape appeared from the cloud of white. Damascus flashed, and the initial strike was blocked, that didn't stop Damascus from completely bending around the obstruction, and striking the person, namely Tigris, or so Valka hoped.

She then hit the floor, smashing up the wooden planks into deadly, jagged splinters, and creating a large hole in the floor. Schwartz appeared in her hand, and she used the wind dust to fire them like arrows all around the area the area in front of her.

Tigris came out of nowhere, and Valka barely had enough time to dodge the swipe from the naginata spear, she ducked down, and then rolled left as the spear was brought down again. The steam allowed both of them to see each other.

As Valka got up, Tigris started to circle her, and Valka relayed the gesture in kind. So now they were circling each other, like two predators fighting for prey. Tigris was the fire, and Valka was the ice.

Valka made the first move, darting in with Doppler and Schwartz drawn, Damascus wouldn't do well against a naginata. She watched as the spear came down, and jumped twice, the first time was off the floor, the second time was off the spear, both were timed perfectly.

She hadn't anticipated the change of weapon though, and Tigris' spear transformed into an axe, the transformation was long enough so that Valka avoided being chopped to pieces, instead landing just a single metre behind Tigris, who whipped around, just in time to catch the blade that would've impaled her in the spine.

The other Haladie swung up, and Tigris dodged away. Valka zoomed in, trying to land a hit, and found her weans blocked again, this time followed by a counter-attack, which came in a low sweep to her belly. Dodging back, Valka then twisted around the blade of the axe, and used her Haladie to try and slice at Tigris' arm, landing a fleeting blow, and tearing the fabric of her clothing.

Her opponent brought the axe around, and Valka blocked it by placing on Haladie blade in front of the other. She pushed back, staging Tigris, and swiped at her neck, but missing as she dodged back.

The girl dressed in funeral clothes attacked with both blades, spinning them in her hands, each blade hitting something once, before it's counterpart was switched in, repeating this multiple times against a struggling Tigris.

There came a time when the girl dressed in red blocked one blade with her axe, and then grabbed Valka's other hand, twisting it around. Tigris didn't have time to break her wrist, as her knee was kicked with a sharp stiletto, and Valka jumped back.

Her naginata came back, and flashed down, straight at Valka's face. Again, Valka put her Haladie together in a X-shape, blocking the attack. However, the sheer strength that went through the spear brought her to her knees. And Valka managed to escape only by lying down on her back, and kicking at Tigris' knees.

Valka didn't waste time, and struck again, but not directly, instead, the Haladie in her hand flashed, and a line of ice spikes erupted from the floor, their tips glinting menacingly. Tigris barely had time to dodge it, and Valka thought she saw some blood.

Valka was now standing outside the cloud of steam, though she was still covered from gunfire, and Tigris was still in there somewhere. Problem was, steam was 100% water. And what is water a good conductor for? Electricity. And what did Doppler have? Lightning dust. And how many volts was lightning? 50 million.

Ouch.

She touched the blade with Lightning dust to the edge of the cloud, and watched in satisfaction as a massive explosion of sound erupted from it, as pure electricity coursed through the cloud. Probably wasn't enough to kill Tigris though, and Valka still had to live up to her promise, to burn Tigris to ash.

So she did another thing with the steam. See, when steam is superheated, it explodes in a cloud of scalding water, and flame.

Valka touched the other end of Doppler to the cloud, and teleported away, just as the cloud erupted in an explosion of boiling water, and fire. Just like that, the haunted house was no more.

Neither was Tigris, hopefully, but that was probably just wishful thinking. She wasn't going to die that easy.

''Now, Cyzarine? Or Llinos?''
