"Damn it" Rita groaned as the purple flames were retracted back into her being.
Melinda grinned and stood up, she stretched her hand towards Rita and the other lady took it and allowed herself to be pulled from the ground.
"I want a do-over," Rita said the moment she was standing.
"No problem. When we're both in the Cosmic Phenomenon Realm" Melinda said with a slight smile.
Rita nodded. She found that reasonable. The moment they both broke through to the Cosmic Phenomenon Realm, she would have her revenge.
"Any chance we can suspend the stakes till then?" Rita asked with an unsure smile.
Melinda chuckled,
"Not a chance"
"It was not truly fair," Rita said in a tone that showed that even she did not believe that.
"Yes it was and even if it wasn't, since when are duels fair," Melinda said before she turned towards Hal who smiled and winked at her.
