*Meanwhile, Back to Sally's battle with Itvasme*
The exciting, dramatic music with its pulsing undercurrent of ride-or-die, high-stakes energy - a feeling where one's senses are extraordinarily heightened, and where every potential detail noticed or minuscule choice decided upon could massively influence the final outcome - continues to play, even as Sally and Itvasme continue their clash over the EVP Blueprints!
The cameras capture and portray an exquisite establishing shot to kick things off, Sally on the left in her shimmering blue, white and silver colour scheme amidst trails of light aura, Itvasme on the right in striking red, black, violet and with a flickering shadow aura as they pose and present in an iconic visual, their clothes billowing in the wind!
Sally is dressed in a form-fitting, yet flowing dress with a tasteful and graceful leg parting at the hip that unifies comfort, form and function and shows off her lovely figure 🤭, draped and overlaid by Sally's own specially-designed, customizable Anti-Rizz Realm Snowcloak™ - suitable for all terrains - the dynamic, cascading folds of the sapphire layering perfectly conveying Sally's stylish, regal and commanding FL energy, even as swirls of Ice Energy condense and converge into a sphere at the fingertips of her extended hand, materializing into the form of a glowing, luminous Icy Crystal!!!
On the other hand. Itvasme holds her long, polished, hardened stick of wood aloft in her slender fingers, the Dark Rizzard's Wand™ crackling with an ominous, dark reddish energy that blossoms into a blood-red ball of power at its tip, her stylish Dark Rizzard's Cloak™ (added due to popular demand) aesthetically *not actually covering* the bodice underneath that accentuates her well-proportioned curves and her long legs, and her hair and clothes are fluttering in the breeze, created by the usual hardworking Wind Machine guys at the back.
Yes. Author can barely resist the overstimulation from the characters, the visuals, and the scene of this mouthwatering clash himself, but he knows he has to keep going and focus to help his characters get more chapter-time, continue the plot, and finish the story which is his main goal, after all!
"Must… not… get… distracted by their hotness…" Author mutters incoherently to himself, as he stumbles over the next paragraph, his hand shaking, his pen beginning to jitter, his nerves starting to skitter.
Sally radiates a sovereign, composed, and determined righteous elegance, whilst Itvasme's eyes brim with a glint of something… dark, dangerous and yet, somehow strangely alluring… (?!)
"Author, what are you doing?!?! Stay strong!!!"
At this, the esteemed readers inwardly sigh, even as they chuck over a few powerstones to help encourage Author back on task.
Author's pale visage visibly colours, and his eyes light up with the usual calm and focus as he literally, composes *himself*, as well as the story.
(Thank you for your contribution !!!!! 💖🤭✨🔥)

The preliminary attacks fly, the camera crew intercutting quickly from Sally to Itvasme to catch their rapid moves, as they each launch several complex combinations, perfectly timed and mirrored by a sudden burst of accented strings and the crashes of percussion in the music.
*Blamblamblam!!!!!!!!!!*
*Whooshwhooshwhoosh!!!!!*
*Snapsnapsnap!!!!!!!*
*Cracklecracklecrackle!!!*
*Poppoppop!!!!!!*
Ignoring the terrible Rice Bubblés reference that was begging to be written and is again a testament to the power of subliminal advertising [1]
[1] Snap, Crackle, Pop is the marketing catchphrase of Rice Bubblés, a kind of cereal that allegedly makes these sounds when one eats it…
Sally and Itvasme immediately execute their follow-up battle plans, both considering their spacing to keep the optimum tactical distance which will allow their opponent less time to respond to their attacks whilst also giving themselves enough time to counter and defend, whilst at the same time looking for ways to gain the advantage, Itvasme very much looking forward, and aiming to incapacitate Sally with a stunning spell, and to extract the EVP Blueprints from her once she was hit and helpless, whilst Sally was aiming to literally, freeze Itvasme in her tracks with a well-timed burst of Ice, in order to prevent the Dark Rizzards from misusing the EVP Blueprints for their own egregious [evil] ends!!!
