Ryker: HAAAAA!!
Estrea: HAhahahah, you can't avoid me forever boy! I'll get you eventually, no matter how long you keep this up I can always last longer.
Ryker to himself: Damn, I hate to admit it but he's right, I can't stay on defense forever. If I do I'll run out of stamina before I even hit him once. Ahhhh this sucks, what the heck am I supposed to do. Yurie is fighting the shades and the others are still fighting at the university. NO Ryker, You've never needed anyone in your life, you've always ran it solo, you can do this, you can save them all.
As Ryker reaches within himself to find a way out of his opponent's seemingly endless flurry of punches and kicks, Estrea begins to adapt to Ryker's footwork, forcing him to switch Martial Arts midfight causing him to slip up.
Estrea: Hahahah you're getting sloppy my friend it would really suck if you happened to make a mistake!
Ryker: Bwaah. Damn it!
Estrea lands a devastating blow on Ryker knocking him into and through a store window.
Ryker: Ah Jeez that hurt like he-
Estrea: Get your head in the game boy! FireBolt!
Ryker: Really, that's it?
Ryker throws a Wind soaked punch at the fire spell ricocheting it off to his left..
Estrea: Oh? That's interesting. I can't remember the last person who could deflect my Fire magic so easily.
Ryker: Trust me, If I can do it I can name 2 others who can do it better.
Estrea: is that so? it would seem you hold very little confidence and depend on one ability far too heavily. Too bad I was beginning to enjoy fighting you. I have to be honest with you my boy, you are a true gem in the world of Wind magic, a real star in the night sky. But you are also a very sinful and slothful man. I cannot allow a sinner of your level to exist any longer, so if you have used up all of your reserves I will have no choice but to finish you off here and now.
Ryker: Finished? I'm just getting started, so if you're done trying to flatter me then we can finish this.
Ryker stands back up to face Estrea head on. The Knight bursts into full power, ready to begin trading blows with the Duke of Pride when…
Yurie: I hope you're not gonna have all the fun Ryker.
Ryker: I've got this handled, don't worry about me.
Yurie: Clearly you didn't hear me. I said I want to have some fun too.
Ryker to himself: The hell is she talking about, she doesn't ac-
Ryker realized that Estrea had changed his sinister gaze to a surprised expression towards the area Yurie's voice had come from. Noticing this, Ryker looked over at Yurie to see a different girl standing before them, she was certainly not the same girl Ryker had known for so long. Yurie's hair had a subtle pink glow to it now and there was a discomforting glowing magenta line just above her forehead. Yurie also had an almost insane look to her with short fangs complimenting her terrifying smile. This wasn't Yurie at all, she may reside within the same body but she was most certainly not the same girl.
Estrea: She can… transform? A Demon/Oni hybrid.
Yurie: You done staring boy, I'm starting to get bored sitting here.
Ryker: Yu-
Yurie: Alright, I'm done waiting for you Estrea, I'll just kill you if you don't want to fight.
Estrea: I have no interest in a coward like you. I hope you remember that you ran from me and denied me the fight I so desired. I am still very annoyed that you have the audaci-
Pwuuh.
Yurie, tired of listening to Estrea talk dashed in to land a fatal blow but was stopped by, Ryker?
Yurie: And just what the hell do you think you're doing Ryker! If you don't unhand me I'll take your arm with.
Ryker: Thought so… You're definitely not Yurie. Do what you have to do, but after this if you haven't calmed down, I'll be your next opponent.
Yurie:...
Ryker releases Yurie both concerned and relieved. Concerned about the look of sheer insanity and lust in her eyes but relieved by the new source of hope in this hopeless battle.
