Both Universe and Gadri entered the Arena,  I watched my sister as she prepared to go against  Gadri, I wanted Gadri to win but I didn't want my sister to lose either. 

I watched in anticipation as their match started. 

Gadri waited for Thalia to move first, judging from her shining armor and spear, she was a melee body enhancement person.  

Thalia smiled and charged forward, Gadri took his equipment and bull rushed forward. Thalia said something and slid underneath Gadri, attempting impaling one of Gadri's legs to make him topple over.

Much to her surprise he still stood firm and the spear only made a flesh wound which was quickly healing itself.  Gadri jumped up to body slam Thalia but she grew wings and flew back quickly. 

Thalia took to the skies and her spear top split to make a crossbow. she quickly loaded a crystal and fired it.  Gadri took the brunt of the damage and he grab part of the arena and threw it.  It was a barrage of projectiles back and forth, crystals and stone, finally Gadri succumbed to the damage as he didn't bother dodging. 

Thalia did a loop in the air and dived down, her spear impaling the body of Gadri before she landed and walked away.

Universe wasn't faring any better, her opponent Ru was a speedy assassin build like Nima, but instead of speed she used Jumping and smokescreens.  When the match started, the smokescreens came up and Universe barely caught her information window, when she landed on Universe, smashing her into the ground. 

Wielding a katana, Ru made quick work of Universe. 

Both of their matches flickered out and both Universe and Gadri slumped out in defeat. I moved up to embrace Universe but she held up her hand to stop. I could see her mind working to find out what was wrong with her performance So I left her alone,  Gadri looked no better, he had his eyes closed his body was slumped on the ground doing the (orz) position.

"Hey Gadri, my sister is amazing and strong-headed, fighting against her in itself is a challenge, think of it as an accomplishment for lasting so long"  I said, Gadri didn't respond to this though and was still slumped over so I excused myself not knowing what to do. 

Beo went to go check on his equipment when he noticed a person move into the shade. He could faintly hear whispering.  

Beo hid himself and started to tail them, he could pick up snippets of information.

"........... ready.......... sabotage,.......  going.......... soon........." 

".............yes.....................about......................done............." 

Beo ran into someone at that point and the two figures turned around to see what the commotion was about, before one of them ran away.  Beo looked at the person he collided into, just a random person, and he moved back to his squad.
