BOOM!
They vanished. The stage didn't just crack this time; it collapsed inward from the sheer force of their takeoff as two blurs collided at the center.
BANG!
A shockwave exploded outward, sending dust, stone, and fragments of the arena floor flying in all directions. The audience closest to the stage instinctively raised their guards as the wind pressure slammed into them like a wall.
At the center of it, FIST met FIST.
Bahamut's grin stretched wide, feral and excited, his muscles coiling as he pushed forward. Gabi's expression twisted from nervousness into something raw and instinctive, his lips parting slightly as a low growl escaped his throat.
CRACK!
The ground beneath their feet shattered again. Neither of them gave way. They moved Like two beasts that refused to yield.
BAM! BAM! BAM!
