Magni struggles as he opens his eyes,the scene that greeted him was not a pleasant one
He can vaguely hear the sound of battle,"Who were we fighting again""Oh""Them"
"I took a blow to the head,a scythe was swung down towards me to finish me off.B-but someone shielded me who was it again"
turning to his side he sees vesper lying on the floor beside him blood pooling around his body.
Magni look up to see,Axel struggling to get on his knees.His legs clearly broken in a few places
Altare fighting one armed ,a bloodied mess remains of where his right arm used to be.Five figures surround him trying to finish him off.
Altare is putting up a valiant defense,but clearly he was not long for this world.
They had minutes,no seconds before they were completely wiped out.
"Everyone is gonna die....again"
He looks down at his collar,a small red crystal sits there.
He hears a burly voice echo in his mind."Dez Boyo you dont have to do this" another voice younger almost musical "It will kill you,you know this"
a female voice speaks "Run,Dezzy,they wont blame you,we didnt"
He removes the pin that secures the red crystal to his collar,it thumpers to the floor,arms trembling he picks up the crystal and places it carefully into his mouth.
As he is about to swallow ,A single thought consumes him "Never again."
Finally a voice he recognize all too well speaks to him from the great beyond,his old master "You were always a stubborn lil runt. You have 5 mins before you are dead"
Magni chuckles to himself and with labored breaths whispers "good enough"
He swallows,light from each arms of his glove cloak flows into his body
As he stands,power coursing through his veins.
Magni bellows "YOU DARE CHALLENGE ME,THE GREAT MAGNI DEZMOND ALCHEMIST OF HOLOSTARS ENGLISH!!!"
4 mins 59 seconds..

Pain radiates from Hakka's abdomen, blood poured from his wound
His carelessness and naivete has finally caught up to him.
His memories take him back to the time when first arrived at the guild hall
His apprehension to this foreign strangers
The joy he felt after spending time with them
and becoming the family he never had
Crack the sound of bones snapping back into place jot him from his memories
Out in the corner of his vision
a singular amber eye watch him atop Bettels body unblinking
Pop crack Bettel body horribly mangled before, now mending
as the last of his limbs with a loud crack snap back into postion,
Bettel rose, abruptly, almost as if being pull by the wires of a puppeteer.
The colours on his clothes shifts
much like what you would see, when you put your eyes to a kaleidoscope
The shifting quickens, his form now a dazzling blur,
his outlines exploding into blizzards of light
The vague form of Bettel could be seen bowing amidst the dazzling display.
"Ladies and gents~ , i welcome you all tonight!"
"To our performance of.... "
"The dance without end!"

Axel and Bettel stands opposite each other in the arena
the rest of the guild watch from the walls some seated some standing
"Begin whenever you are ready" Altare said from the sidelines
"Do we really have to do this Altare?" Bettel voice trembling
"Yes,now get ready" Altare replied
"Ahhhh, can we get this over with already, i am gonna win anyway" Axel interjects
"If you say so Altare" Bettel closed his eyes in deep concentration.
When he reopen his eyes, now both magenta
his previously craven demeanour now replace with poise and bearing.
"Took you long enough, well allow me your favorite"
"Doctor" Axel don his mask."Hitman" his cybernetic ears flare to life
"Gladiator,to take care of you" step, Axel dashes forward
Bettel rapier whip trust forward in response.
manipulating his weapon with practiced precision and grace
every flick of the wrist a killing blow
Axel duck and weave expertly, dodging strikes left and right.
until he got into melee range, "My turn" Axel said with a chuckle.
Left,right into a spinning wheel kick. Each move flowing into the other.
Bettel dodges,adjusting his body so that every move barely misses him
flick Bettel's rapier tip now arc towards Axels back
Axel jumps,backflips, placing himself mid air above the rapier tip
grabs it and tosses it at Bettel,Bettel pirouette to the side
using the momentum, swing his rapier up towards Axel, mid air, unable to dodge
Axel left with no option, blocks the incoming strike with his palm, closes his fingers around the blade
and pulled Bettel towards him, following up with punch which sent him flying towards the ground
animalistic instincts drives him now,Axel landed with an axe kick at Bettel
"Enough" Altare blocked the fatal blow with the flat of his gunblade,
Tension fills the air as Axel locked eyes with Altare.
Altares tone low,menacing"i said enough"only than did Axel look away
"Hai hai,whatever you say...Leader"
