### Chapter 3: The Elemental Duel
**[Setting: The outskirts of the hotel, where the air is thick with tension. Vajrajan stands firmly, facing the special knight, who is cloaked in flames, crackling with energy. The moonlight casts a silver glow on the battlefield, setting the stage for an epic confrontation.]**
**Vajrajan**: (coolly) You think you can intimidate us with your flames? Fire may be fierce, but I command the chill of the ice and the flow of water.
**Knight**: (grinning, eyes ablaze) Ice and water? How quaint! Let's see how you fare against true power!
**[The knight raises his hands, summoning flames that swirl around him, forming a fiery whip.]**
**Knight**: *Ignis Laceration* (Fire Slash)!!
**[With a swift motion, the knight sends a wave of fire towards Vajrajan, the heat radiating off the ground. Vajrajan responds instantly, his focus unwavering.]**
**Vajrajan**: *Jala Vāyu* (Water Gale)!!
**[He conjures a torrent of water that rises and crashes into the flames, creating steam that fills the air. The clash of elements creates a blinding mist, obscuring visibility.]**
**Knight**: (shouting through the steam) You think you can hide? I'll burn you out!
**[With a swift motion, the knight manipulates the fire, forming it into a dragon that lunges through the mist toward Vajrajan.]**
**Vajrajan**: (stepping forward, voice steady) You underestimate the power of water and ice.
**[He raises his hands, channeling his energy into the ground. Suddenly, the water from the earlier clash freezes instantly, creating a barrier of ice that reflects the flames.]**
**Vajrajan**: *Sikta Loka* (Frozen Realm)!!
**[The icy barrier absorbs the fiery dragon, causing it to explode into harmless sparks. The knight stumbles back, his confidence shaken.]**
**Knight**: (furiously) You're just delaying the inevitable!
**[He gathers his flames again, this time forming a ring of fire around Vajrajan.]**
**Knight**: *Inferno Bastion*!!
**[The fire closes in, creating a wall of heat. But Vajrajan remains composed, drawing upon the water around him.]**
**Vajrajan**: *Aparāva* (Water Shield)!!
**[He conjures a massive wave that crashes against the fire, dousing it instantly. The air fills with steam, creating a fog that envelops the battlefield.]**
**Vajrajan**: (voice echoing through the steam) Your flames are fierce, but water adapts and flows.
**[The knight, frustrated, charges forward through the mist, relying on his brute strength. But Vajrajan is ready.]**
**Vajrajan**: *Sutala Dānti* (Ice Prison)!!
**[With a swift gesture, he creates shards of ice that shoot toward the knight, encasing him in a prison of frost. The knight struggles, but the ice holds firm.]**
**Knight**: (growling) This isn't over! You will pay for this!
**[Vajrajan steps closer, his presence commanding and calm amidst the chaos.]**
**Vajrajan**: (firmly) It's over. You've underestimated the bond of friendship and the strength that lies within it.
**[With one final push, Vajrajan channels his energy, causing the ice to expand and reinforce its grip on the knight, immobilizing him completely.]**
**[As the steam clears, Vajrajan stands tall, his breath steady, a beacon of determination in the stillness of the night
As Vajrajan and the special knight clashed fiercely, their elemental powers colliding in a spectacular display of ice and fire, an unknown figure watched from a distance atop the mountain. The figure was cloaked in a long, flowing garment resembling an ancient hoodie, obscuring his features in shadow. The fabric billowed around him, giving him an almost ethereal presence as he stood motionless, sensing the immense energy of their battle.
**Unknown Guy**: (to himself, voice deep and resonant) That guy is here.
With a swift motion, he drew his sword, the blade glinting ominously in the dim light. In one fluid movement, he unleashed an unpredictable attack. The sword cut through the air with devastating precision, cleaving the entire island in two with a single strike. The ground trembled beneath Vajrajan's feet as he struggled to regain his balance, realizing the true threat that this unknown assailant posed.
Vajrajan quickly refocused on the special knight, but the sudden upheaval of the island disrupted their fight. The knight, momentarily distracted by the chaos, turned his attention to the new threat.
**Special Knight**: (gritting his teeth) Who dares to interrupt our battle?
Vajrajan seized the moment to regroup, summoning his control over ice and water to stabilize himself.
**Vajrajan**: (shouting) We need to work together to face this new danger!
As the dust settled and the cloaked figure stepped forward, his face remaining hidden in the shadows of his garment, Vajrajan and the special knight reluctantly formed an uneasy alliance. Both realized that their true enemy lay before them. The island trembled, and the atmosphere crackled with tension as they prepared to confront the unknown threat together.
