"No offense, but I was hoping to fight the other guy, he seemed more powerful. Still, based on what I've seen, you're plenty powerful yourself, so this should still be a decent challenge," Remarked Aurora, cracking her knuckles as she and Raven took their places in the arena.
"Yeah, I can't deny that he was definitely a lot stronger, I couldn't have beaten him in a fair fight. Well, so long as you don't try to kill me, I suppose I might as well try and enjoy this fight," Responded Raven, as the barrier formed around the arena.
"Likewise."
The two of them prepared themselves as the countdown began, eyeing each other intently as they waited to spring into action, a rising sense of anticipation welling up between the two of them.
The instant the countdown ended, Raven unleashed his full power with a roar of exertion, as Aurora crouched down on all fours, the shadowy, cat-shaped cloak of dark energy shrouding her body.
