A peircing scream filled the night, filled with bloodlust and rage. It sounded vaguely female, but more feral than human, drowning out even the sound of the explosion. Behind Valka, the flaming mansion seemed to hum with energy for a moment, then roar, as flames poured through the windows and door.

The mansion dimmed again, as if it were never on fire. Above it, the flames converged, shifted and formed into the likeness of a large, flaming lotus bud. The bud grew steadily as more flames fed it, then bloomed, into a flower with amber petals. Jut as abruptly, the flower collapsed on itself, and dissipated. The night was still again.

From the ruined mansion doors, Tigris stepped out, slumped slightly, clutching her spear in a shaky hand. In the other arm, she held an empty glass bottle, which she dropped as she stumbled down the stairs. The bottle's label read "Ghoul Extract, Aura supplement."

She couldn't avoid the lighning cloud, but in desperation, she'd summoned her Coliseum to dry the steam, and dissipated the flames from the explosion. But it had taken a heavy toll on her aura, even after consuming Ghoul slime, and deactivating the Coliseum to conserve aura, her's was barely over 60%.

The healing fluid freshened her a little, and with a pained grunt, Tigris rejoined the battle. Roaring like the beast she named herself after, she charged for Valka, sliding under her urumi and into her guard. Before the ice girl could draw her haladies, the assassin had slipped behind, catching Valka in aheadlock with her spear, pinning her against Tigris' own back.

In the distance, she heard the whoosh of air, as Cyzarine swooped in for her jet kick, Tigris held her victim helpless. If she had to go out like this, the geisha wouldn't be doing it alone...
