"Asking me to dance before asking my name? Well pretty boy, I won't say no," the red head smiled as lightning swirled around her arms. "I'm Jessie by the way, and after I beat you, you owe me a real dance."
'Gil, does this system just attract crazy to me?'
'No, I think that's just you. But good luck.'
She wasted no more time dashing towards me, she was quick too. It seemed like the lightning was speeding her up. I did what's been my usual, igniting the flames around my hands and feet again.
The moment she was close to me she went for an uppercut, and the intensity off of her could be felt. This girl was not messing around when she fought.
I knew blocking wasn't an option because of the electricity swirling around her arm, so I jumped back while shooting fire out my mouth. The moment I landed I could see her coming from my right, and was already nearly on top of me.
"You wouldn't mind slowing down would you?" I jokingly asked while just narrowly avoiding her punches and kicks.
"Listen pretty boy, I ain't here to slack off. I'm here to get as strong as I can," she said between her attacks. She seemed to be getting slower the more she attacked though.
"Yeah, that makes two of us then," I said while deciding to go on the attack for the first time.
With her stance being lower to the ground, most anything I could do with my claws was to risky, so it was time to change it up. I jumped forward, right over her, while turning my hands and feet back to normal.
"Time to see if this works," I said while using my mismatch ability.

"Is Caesar okay?" Icarus asked while watching the fight.
"Better be since he said he can handle it," Daron said.
"Do you two have any faith in him?" Kyla asked, clearly upset about everything.
"Well I did, then he bounced off the ground after getting zapped, and now seems, well different. I think his brain got fried," Daron said.
"Caesar is one of a kind," Xynthia sighed.
"That he is, and that skank better stay away from him," Kyla angrily said.
"I think you two would get along," Icarus joked. But just as suddenly he seemed very interested in the fight, because Caesar just changed up what everyone thought he could do.
His cloak seemingly split apart, and it's place on his back were two massive wings. Each one seemed about five feet long. They were each white as snow. But that wasn't all, around his right arm scales started to replace the iron whip, this continued the entire length of it, but once it got to the end, a snakes head appeared.
The black team couldnt help but all be excited and stare in awe at what they witnessed.

Jessie turned and immediately punched where I was, or where I should've been. The sparks on her body were getting duller. I didn't waste time and kicked her right between her shoulder blades, driving her into the floor.
The moment she hit the ground I jumped back off of her and into the air. Flying still felt incredibly foreign to me. The wings on my back felt like they had always been there but never been used. So it was like walking for the first time all over again. That and it was tiring to keep flapping them to keep me in the air.
"How's that for a dance?" I asked, hoping that this fight could be done so I could rest.
"Not bad, but I hope you can do better to keep me entertained," she said while standing back up. "Now I don't think I ever got your name, now did I?"
"Caesar finish beating that floozy up and come back down here!" Kyla yelled from down below, as if to answer her.
"Well Caesar, I'd say we can finish our dance with this next act," she said as she unclipped a small metal rod off of her belt.
Not wanting to take any risks I had my serpent lunge towards her, but as always she made it harder than I wished. She swung the small rod down and it extended mid swing into a full sized staff, knocking the snake away.
This put as at a stalemate of sorts. I was to high in the air for her to hit, but with my serpent alone I'd never be able to beat her.
'I know you can do better than this Caesar, or have you actually been all talk?' Gil asked. I'm not sure if he was trying to tick me off or what, but it definitely got under my skin.
I took a deep breathe and flew straight up, then curved back to nosedive at her. At the same moment I was turning over I turned my hands back into the flaming claws.
Seeing this, Jessie started arcing as much electricity as she could into her arms and into her staff. To my surprise she put some into her legs and jumped up, much higher than I thought she could, towards me.
One way or another this fight was ending after this next exchange.
