A Presence

Barry looked at a horrific view as his partner was being enveloped in a water bubble same in which Hazel was trapped and Barry knew that the wind ability couldn't do much to escape through that.

Barry at once left his fight with Hazel and ran to free him.

[Magic Type:Translocation portal]

The path on which Barry was running opened up a portal in which he fell due to his momentum and reappeared where Hazel was standing and Hazel stood where he fell.

"Did you just switch places with me" stated Barry.

Hazel didn't respond and give him a teasing smile.

According to the Arena system, a team can't kill another person so Shelby would only have to render Alan unconscious and then double-team on Barry.

Barry now lost hope in Alan and thought to carry on the fight alone and win for his fallen comrade.

"HELP, Brother help me!!" a muffled could be heard as if someone was being scuffed to death.

"Where am I, this isn't the battlefield" questioned Alan.

He was in a body of water but this time he could breathe and roam around he kept hearing noises that got louder and louder.

"Help me!! Brother don't you love me"

Alan started to hold his head as this was not him, this was his consciousness forced into a dream.

Suddenly at that moment, a boy with dark black hair and piercing red eyes appeared before him grabbing him by his collar and saying only one thing while slapping him multiple times

"Fight for me, brother fight for me, fight for our name, fight for your future, Fight!!!"

Alan woke up from his unconscious state to see himself still trapped inside the bubble.

[Distinctive Type (wind)= Storm:

[Lethal fulmination]

A resounding bolt of light emerged from the bubble immediately bursting it and also electrocuting Shelby. Its radius was immense as it reached Barry and Alan as well but they were able to dodge it.

Alan emerged from the fog breathing heavily and having that monstrous look in his eyes, while Shelby regained her strength.

Alan rushed at her with wind around his hands to attack with much force and, on every blow, it kept sending her back but she was also able to counter it with her water deflection ability.

Alan knew that his current abilities are not gonna harm her in the least as she will counter his every attack thus he had to come up with another move.

"Brother, how are we supposed to run in this fog, I can't see anything" a voice clicked Alan again through his memory.

"I'm scared, what if a wolf arrives" another statement crosses him.

Alan starts to tear down listening to these lines and starts to lose his morale to fight. He is about to give up when he hears a familiar voice in his head.

"Don't worry, Alan sometimes the path of difficulty is the answer to your confused life, embrace it rather than running away or getting scared of it"

This voice was not the one Alan was hearing before it was a gentle, calm, and measured manner, with a soft tone of voice that exuded warmth and kindness. His speech was characterized by a thoughtful and deliberate pace, with an emphasis on clear communication and understanding.

An image of his father popped up in his mind as he looked at himself hopelessly not living up to what his father expected.

[Distinctive Type (wind)= Haze:

[Domain of Murk]

A white fog erupted out of thin air into the area at a certain distance and completely wrapping Alan and Shelby in it.

Shelby immediately became confused as Alan's location was constantly changing and hidden. She threw multiple water balls at him but none of them hit their target. A voice came from behind Shelby.

"Thank you"

She immediately turned around to counter him but he had already knocked her down with a gentle tap on the neck.

Alan calmed his aura as he was barely able to stand up and kept on breathing heavily while sweating profusely.

Barry stood with his feet shoulder-width apart, his hands crackling with bright, white light. He was a formidable opponent, and Hazel knew she had her work cut out for her.

Hazel squared her shoulders and took a deep breath, drawing on her power. A shimmering aura of green magic surrounded her as she prepared to face Barry in combat.

They circled each other warily, each waiting for the other to make the first move. Then, in a flash of light, Barry launched himself at Hazel, his fists glowing with energy.

Hazel dodged to the side, her movements graceful and fluid. She raised her own hands and a barrage of green energy bolts shot out toward Barry. He deflected them easily with bursts of light, and the two continued their dance of combat.

Barry moved quickly, his movements are almost too fast for the eye to follow. Hazel struggled to keep up, but her magical powers gave her an edge. She summoned vines from the ground, which wrapped around Barry's legs and tripped him up.

But Barry wasn't down for long. He sprang to his feet, unleashing a blinding flash of light that temporarily blinded Hazel. She stumbled backward, trying to clear her vision.

Barry seized the opportunity, hurtling towards Hazel with a ferocity that took her by surprise. She managed to dodge most of his blows, but one caught her in the side, sending her crashing to the ground.

Hazel gritted her teeth and rose to her feet, determination in her eyes. She summoned all her power, calling forth a swirling vortex of Dark energy that engulfed Barry.

For a moment, it seemed like he might be defeated. But then,

[Light Type: Tizona]

A bright and large sword appeared where his hands rested as he grabbed it with his last bit of strength and glared at the incoming attack.

'Shing'

A soothing sound resounded in the arena as the attack was nowhere to be seen.

Both the warriors maintained their ground breathing and sweating heavily and not taking their eyes off each other.

"Want to switch", a voice came from behind Alan.

Alan was startled to hear a sound and stood up to regain his stance to fight the user of that voice.

He looked around to search for that person but no one stood there.

"You weakling, come on now switch and spice some things up in this battle" another statement crossed Alan as he started to scream and yell about his presence.

"Hey you, you'll never be worthy enough. Forget about it, Fool."
