Both sides took their stance.
Kairi leveled her katana at Arisha, one hand resting on her hip in that effortlessly cocky katana-user posture.
Arisha gripped her blade with both hands, knuckles white, focus unshaken.
Nivara stepped toward Aiden, her arms swirling in graceful circles.
"What's she doing?" Luna frowned, her back pressed against the wall with the others.
"You'll see," Seraphina giggled knowingly.
Aiden's eyes followed the motion… or rather, the distracting bounce of Nivara's chest. He forced his gaze up, jaw tightening. *Focus, idiot.*
In an instant, twin needle-like weapons of pure energy bloomed into Nivara's hands. The long, dagger-sized constructs tapered to lethal points, loops at the hilt for her fingers to spin and whip them with terrifying speed.
"What the hell…?" Aiden muttered.
"Nini! Go!" Seraphina cheered, bouncing on her toes.
"H-Huh?!" Luna's eyes widened.
