This was the time for the first match of the one-on-one elimination round, and the crowd resonated to it. Hubert and Maiza faced off at the Nebula Arena, both ready to give their best performance.
Hubert popped his knuckles and looked at Maiza in a martial stance, all defense. That was his specialty, like a wall of oak. He was able to take a lot of hard knocks and give back with powerful counterattacks. He grinned smugly at Maiza, quite assured in himself.
Maiza, however, was confident. She held her two light energy disks at the ready. She locked her gaze onto Hubert. She knew she couldn't have a straight-up fight with him based on brute force, but she had a thing or two up her sleeve.
The loud announcer voice echoes inside the arena to start the battle. "Let the battle between Hubert and Maiza begin!"
