As the sun's rays illuminated the slums in an ethereal glow, two figures stood in a fighting stance, each on edge for different reasons.
One was thinking about survival and escaping the wrath of the great families if they were to discover the dead body of one of their own. While the other was thinking of how to use as little of his abilities as he could to ensure he wouldn't be affected for the battle the next day.
Though Raph knew he couldn't keep to himself as much as he did with Ciara, it would only lead to his defeat if he did.
He may have underestimated her abilities but with that in mind, he decided not to get injured or prolong the battle.
"Guess there's no helping it !" His muscles gripped tightly as he charged at Gonzalo with great speed.
The ground shuddered and a crater erupted from the force.
He swung his blade from below, aiming a slice at the Shadow Berserker, but Gonzalo wouldn't take it idly.
