Overwhelmed

The shadowy figure appeared before Aina, striking with a surprising amount of strength. 

His movements were oddly jerky, and his power spiked and then fell rapidly, making it feel like he was spinning a roulette every time he attacked, hoping he would land on something good. 

Aina was immediately wary. She could feel an odd Force tugging at the air, and it felt like it was Fate itself being toyed with. 

Time Force? 

She had seen something similar from the likes of Hutch's grandson. This felt like a similar, yet different application all the same. This opponent was a dangerous one. 

The existence of people like this were probably precisely why the Council Members didn't dare to guarantee a top 100 finish. 

This was only the second Time Force user that Aina had met in her lifetime, and the first one that she was actually battling with herself.
