Chapter 16: “The Two of Them Are Fighters!”

Bry, as adamant as ever, was met with a ferocious strike from his opponent, the energy behind it intended to overwhelm him. He lifted his Batong Kalasag, the robust wooden shield, with quick reflexes, deflecting the attack with seasoned ease. The blow reverberated through his arms, but he remained firm in his resistance.

Meanwhile, Alyana moved through the pandemonium of fighting with the elegance of a seasoned assassin. Her Kamagong, a weapon carved from the densest wood, glinted in the light as she sprang forward, lethal precision aiming for her opponent's weak points. Her motions were smooth, each hit meant to render her opponent unconscious.

Undaunted by the opposition, the two mystery members of the White Lotus Family moved forward with resolute savagery. Their attacks were quick and unrelenting, with the goal of completely overpowering Bry and Alyana. Bry's Batong Kalasag transformed into a fortress, as each stroke meeting with the unwavering barrier of his shield. Alyana, on the other hand, danced between their punches, her Kamagong moving as quickly as a striking serpent, deflecting their attacks with devastating accuracy.

The battlefield became a frenzy of movement as the White Lotus Family members launched strikes, which were met with firm blocks from Bry's Kalasag and nimble evasions from Alyana. The collision of their guns resonated across the air, demonstrating both sides' tenacity. A battle became more intense, with every party involved in a duel of skill, strength, and strategy to take the upper hand in this never-ending dance of blades.

Among the turmoil of combat, the two mystery members of the White Lotus Family found a little reprieve, their swords dropped as they discussed their shared history. Their chilly words conveyed the weight of years of effort and grief.

"We were never meant to live an easy life," one of them mumbled, his eyes averted as he remembered their cruel father. "Our mother's suffering, the pain we endured… It molded us into what we are now."

The other agreed, his gaze darkened with purpose. "The power we wield is a gift from the devil himself." We bear the burden of this evil power in order to safeguard our nation and guarantee that no one else suffers as we have."

A nasty grin grew across the latter's lips, his eyes glinting with threatening intent. He laid a hand on his companion's shoulder, a twisted gesture of friendship. "Brother," he added with hatred in his voice, "we are the guardians this world deserves." And, whatever the cost, we will define its future together."

They lifted their swords again, their history haunting their every action, urging them to battle with a passion that had no boundaries. The battlefield became their canvas, where the echoes of their shared agony mingled with the clash of steel, building a route toward their warped image of a better future.

James ignited his Budjak Spear, the blade shining with an unearthly brightness, his eyes burning with resolve. He sprang forward with a quick move, the spear slashing through the air with lethal precision. His assault was met with a staunch resistance by one of the White Lotus Family's unknown members, their weapons colliding in a shower of sparks.

Jes, who was dressed in the famed "Gwantes ni Little Dado," lifted his fists like a seasoned fighter, his actions quick and planned. As he prepared to attack, the gloves, endowed with ancient power, crackled with electricity. He aimed at the other strange member's defenses with a lightning-fast jab, his fists a flurry of action.

The battlefield became a whirlwind of activity, with weapons clashing and fists ringing through the air. James and Jes battled in unison, their strikes coordinated to put their opponents on the defensive. The White Lotus Family members struggled to match the unrelenting attack after being taken off guard by the unexpected mix of spear strikes and lightning-quick punches.

With each stroke, James and Jes pushed forward, their resolve unwavering. The collision of their strikes and desperate attempts to counter formed a symphony of conflict as the struggle approached a climax. The result was in doubt as the forces of light and evil clashed in a conflict that would determine their world's fate.

The battlefield rattled beneath the ferocity of the twins' attacks as they launched a never-ending barrage. Bry and Alyana's view was obscured by dust and debris in the air. The earth underneath them trembled as the twins' attack threatened to overwhelm them.

However, the twins' attempts were unsuccessful in the face of Bry's unshakable desire. He had cast a strong Barrier with his Batong Kalasag, creating an impenetrable screen that blocked the twins' strikes with a fast and trained move. The barrier radiated a protective aura as it stood firm against the onslaught of attacks.

Bry's eyes, which had been calm and serene before, suddenly glowed with intense resolve. His face was expressionless, his eyes steadfast as he faced the twins, a quiet challenge in his gaze. His Batong Kalasag, solid in his grip, became a sign of unwavering determination.

Alyana's eagerness to counterattack was evident beside him. Her eyes shone with a burning purpose despite the turmoil and dust that around them. She prepared her Kamagong, excitement pouring through her veins. Each punch from the twins simply fuelled her desire to respond, her unshakeable confidence in the face of adversity.

The battlefield was tense as Bry and Alyana held steady, their resolve reflecting each other's. They were ready to confront whatever obstacles the twins threw at them, ready to change the tide of war in favor of SF-Zero, with their defenses holding strong and their spirits intact.

"Aight, it's my turn," Alyana proclaimed with a determined grin and a confident glitter in her eyes. She ran forward, her Kamagong shining in the sunlight as she closed the gap between herself and the twins. Bry trailed her every step like a shadow, his presence a subtle reassurance beside her.

Bry stood erect as they approached the twins, his Batong Kalasag primed for attack. He crushed his Kalasag to the ground with a forceful move, sending shockwaves across the earth. The hit startled the twins, leaving them dazed and defenseless for a brief while.

Alyana took advantage of the situation and attacked with accuracy. Her Kamagong smacked the twins' fortifications, the force of her punch resonating through their bodies. The contact knocked them to the ground, and their attempts to counteract Alyana's deft moves were unsuccessful.

Bry and Alyana proved to be an unstoppable force with their synchronized onslaught. Overwhelmed and outmaneuvered, the twins succumbed to their power. The dust settled around the victorious duo as the battlefield went silent.
