But Aurora's determination didn't waver, as he propose her challenge. "If you're able to defeat us, then we'll accept you as the leader of the Merger's faction. We'll do whatever you wish for us to do." Her words hung in the air, the stakes high.
Dave's eyes locked onto the twins, his expression serious. "And if I lose?"
Aurora's smile returned, her eyes glinting with confidence. "If we defeat you, you'll forfeit your position as leader, and you'll have to do anything we ask you to do. Deal?"
Dave tilted his head, his eyes never leaving the twins. "Deal," he said with a firm voice. "But you better keep your promise to do whatever I ask you to do."
Aurora's face darkened, her expression unyielding. "Same goes for you." The air was thick with tension, the challenge issued, and the stakes were high.
