Xander pulls out a strangely shaped sword. Every part of the sword, including the blade, are rectangular shape.

He swings the blade at Mikey, even though they are far apart from one another.

What is he doing? Mikey thinks to himself.

He then remembers how he got hit by Xander's punches back in his domain. Mikey assumed that this must be a similar case. Which is why, Mikey jumps high into the air.

[You have activated an ability of the "Freestyle Fighter"]

Mikey comes crashing at Xander, while he does, he notices that a wall has been destroyed, this was done by Xander's sword attack.

As Mikey falls, Xander swings his sword at him again. Mikey's Freestyle Kick gets slowed down by Xander's invisible attack, but doesn't hurt him in any way.

"Sentinel Square." Xander activates his defensive style as Mikey enters his domain. Mikey's Freestyle Kick is completely blocked, he is also pushed out of Xander's domain, like the first time he used his Sentinel Square. A few seconds later, the shapes inside Xander's domain turn black, signaling, that the Sentinel Square is no longer active. Everything is the same as the last time.

Surely there must be a cooldown on his ability, right? Mikey jumps high in the air again.

[You have activated an ability of the "Freestyle Fighter"]

He uses the Freestyle Kick again, Xander swings his sword at him.

"Sentinel Square!" Xander shouts.

"Again?!" Mikey says in disbelief as his Freestyle Kick gets completely countered and stopped.

Mikey stops attacking for a moment to catch his breath.

Mikey realizes something. When Xander uses the Sentinel Square, the gravity of the domain lightens up, Sentinel Square isn't an additional spell, it's another mode of his domain, he can change his domain between the Sentinel Square, and the Menacing Crossroads.

Mikey's eyes shine brightly as he realizes the weakness of Xander's domain.

He can't have them activated both at the same time! I can exploit that, but just how exactly?

The second ranked player appears in front of Mikey again. Mikey punches her but realizes that it was some kind of a fake. The real one was standing behind him, she touches him and Mikey starts getting cut from all sides again, which puts him under a ton of pain. After that, she summons several clones and sends all of them after Xander.

This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings.

"Hah, that is not going to work." Xander says.

The clones surround him from all sides as they jump at him, they even jump at him from above. Once they enter the zone of his domain, they all come crashing to the ground.

They all dissapear and turn into what seems like a poison.

"It was a trap damn it!" Xander says. The poison touches him and he starts getting burnt by it pretty much instantly.

"Sentinel Square." He pushes the poison out of his domain.

Once the poison leaves the domain, Mikey appears behind Xander, how did he achieve that?

Actually, when Mikey attacked Xander with his Freestyle Kicks, he was able to grab his Duskblade too. When he saw the second ranked woman attack him, he quickly used his Dusk Step and got behind Xander, Xander was too focused on getting the poison out of his domain, which allowed Mikey to catch him offguard.

This was exactly after Xander pushed out the poison out of his domain. How did Mikey not get pushed out too?

Well, he realized something. Everytime Xander uses his Sentinel Square, three things happen.

First, the gravitational pull weakens, secondly if there is anything attacking him, like those cuts earlier, he can simply block it. And lastly, he always pushes things out of his domain, but he can only do that once per activation.

"It's over Xander." Mikey says calmly and aims his fist at him.

[You have activated an ability of the "Ultimate Fighter"]

Mikey punches Xander, Xander doesn't move, his heavy armor and domain allow him to stay in place, but that doesn't change the fact, that he took insane amounts of damage from that single punch.

Xander coughs out blood.

The woman appears behind Mikey, who isn't aware of her. She tries to finish him off.

"Gotcha." Xander smiles.

Xander's domain expands by a few meters. Mikey and the second strongest player are for some reason drawn one to another, as if they were opposite magnetic poles.

"What is this?!" Mikey asks, he can't move away from the woman.

"It takes time and the right situation to set up, but it works everytime." Xander says with a malicious smirk on his face.

"Did you know? Every human has their own gravitational pull. Actually, every single object has its own gravitational pull. The thing is, the strenght of it is so small that you won't notice it in your daily lives whatsoever, but my domain can amplify gravity." Xander says and stays quiet for about two seconds, after that he starts slowly laughing until he bursts out in laugh.

"That's right, I amplified the gravitational pull of your bodies. Now then, the effect will last for some time, which will thankfully allow me to get away. It was nice meeting you, Mr. Strongest and Miss who doesn't talk." Xander releases his domain and gets automatically kicked out of the Shadow Sanctum.

The woman and Mikey look at eachother, their bodies are still gravitationally attracted to one another, so naturally, they can't hit eachother.

After taking a closer look at the woman, Mikey confirms that she is asian, the look on her face is still completely neutral.

Mikey starts moving, he is actually strong enough to withstand the gravitational pull while moving. Although his movements are very slow. Mikey starts moving his right arm, he pulls it back and makes a fist.

He is clearly preparing to punch her once the gravitational pull dissapears.

Mikey starts moving his left arm and somehow manages to grab her by her neck. Mikey also starts getting cut by the woman's domain. His power is sapping away really fast too.

"You want to call truce or do I punch you to death here?" Mikey asks her with an exhausted voice, the gravitational pull is doing its thing.

"Why would you spare me?" She asks Mikey under pressure, her voice is soft, which is definitely not what Mikey expected from her appearance.

"Because I want strong people alongside me, and you are strong." Mikey answers truthfully.

"Hah, not interested, kill me." Mikey stops getting cut, and the gravitational pull stops too.

Mikey raises her high in the air with his left hand, holding her by the neck, he lets go of her neck and charges up a powerful punch.

[You have activated an ability of the "Ultimate Fighter"]

Mikey punches her, and she flies. The punch is very weak compared to what it would be if Mikey wasn't so exhausted, but it still does its job.

The woman crashes into a wall, it knocks her unconcious, which makes her release the domain.

Mikey and the woman return to the normal world, just to see pure chaos around them. Huge holes in the ground, the forest is on fire, a lot of screams can be heard, the screams belong to both monsters and humans, Mikey's crew is nowhere to be seen...
