Kaldur chose to form his water into along, single bladed sword as Artemis pulled out her bow; they'll both be using their own weapons for this battle.

Artemis quickly drew her bow to her ear with practiced ease as she shot off two arrows, only pausing for a fraction of a second to draw from her quiver. Kaldur spun his blade around; knocking the arrows from hitting his torso. Kaldur came closer to her, aiming his sword low, but she was quick to dodge and string another arrow.

Their pace was quick, sharp, and accurate as they weaved from long distant attacks to close quarters, but with each of their quick reflexes none of the blows hit their mark. Kaldur began to breath heavy as he tightened his grip on his weapon, ready for another arrow, but when Artemis reached up to grasp one she was surprised to find she was empty; many of her arrows lay broken across the arena.

She clicked her tongue as she boldly put her bow in front of her, holding it like a sword. With her bow, she lunged to the side and hooked one of Kaldur's tired hands into it, twisting the bow at an angle to where Kaldur couldn't pull his hand away from behind his back. Artemis kicked her heel into the back of his legs; making him buckle under his own fatigued weight. She grasped the other hand as his water-bearer slipped from it and successfully pinned him to the floor.

Clapping signaled the end of the match as Artemis pulled Kaldur from the floor and patted him softly on the shoulder, then headed solemnly to her seat.

The Bat siblings made their way to the center of the stage like all of the other opponents had before them, but the tension was higher; more deadly as their status as family disappeared from their minds. They immediately started sparring; Dick, seeing Sora's foot work, calculated her objective and worked against it, spinning behind her as she lunged where he had expected her to.

He went for a blow to the back of the neck, but it was her turn to know his movements; she blocked his Escrima sticks by laying her katana over her exposed back. She kept her blade in contact with her opponent's weapon as she turned her body to face him. Sora shifted her stance, and with a strong grunt she propelled him forward, but she didn't fall back to gain a breath, instead she attacked ruthlessly, sending blow after blow to Dick's vital regions.

Dick felt himself losing his balance from the shock of the blows, but he didn't let it affect him too much; he fell back, landing on his hands so that he could launch himself forward, kicking Sora square in the chest. He sprung back to his feet and smiled at her, cocking his head to the side as he tauntingly beckoned her to continue. They both ran at each other and decisively gave blows to the others critical areas, going so fast it was practically a blur.

Awed looks were plastered on the rest of the team's faces, showing their amazement at seeing the siblings spar for the first time. Canary smiled at them and then looked back at the match as she spoke,

"They have to be this good in order to survive." Her quiet tone drew some eyes onto her as she placed a hand on her chin,

"Everyone here, save for Artemis, has powers, but in order to be on par with meta humans, these heroes need to train ten times harder, otherwise they will die."

Wally scrunched his features unconsciously at the last word, but gave a quirky smile,

"Rob won't die. He's too good; half of us can't even beat him!" He let out a short laugh, but his chortle quieted quickly as his attention focused back on the fighters.

Robin was on his back, his cape pinned to the ground, and one of his own Escrima sticks to his neck; he lost.

"Okay, most of us except Asities can't beat him." Wally scratched the back of his head as embarrassment scorched his cheeks.

Having his confident statement shot down right after he said it had Artemis snickering at him, but perhaps she was directing the snicker at her final opponent.

Robin grumbled as his sister removed herself off of him, but he couldn't help smiling when he saw Wally tap the empty seat beside him in a playful motion, cracking a wide grin at the newly disqualified player.

"Final round! Asities versus Artemis, ladies, take your places." Canary chirped, nodding to Dick to let him know he did well, but he needed to leave the circle.

Dick made his way to his seat, slouching as he pouted openly.

"I can't believe you lost after I vouched your strength to everyone, Dude." Wally knocked his shoulder with his own as he whined.

The boy looked to him then his sibling, she was getting dragged back to the middle of the arena along side Artemis.

"It can't be helped. Batman and I trained her after all." A look of pride crept onto his features for a brief moment, but it melted away, revealing a determined scowl.

"I need to do more training when I get home though," His face perked up as he gave a sly smile,

"Want to join?" Dick mimicked Wally's shoulder bump as he asked the question, masked eyes piercing into Wally's emerald ones.

The speedster felt his heart race unnaturally at the boy's stare, again wondering what his best friend's eyes looked like under the mask, but he pushed the thought away.

"Is it a sleep over training session? If it is I want some of Alfred's hot chocolate and pancakes in the morning." Wally salivated at the thought and Dick raised his eyebrow with a smile,

"When do you come over and not eat all our food?"

A loud, obnoxious cough brought their attention back to the others around them. Asities looked at them, a suspicious gleam in her eye,

"Are you two done making date plans? I'd like to get this over with; it's been a long day." Asities laid her hands on her hips and cocked her head as she inquired the question in an overly loud manner, a grin compromising her façade at sternness.

The two, realizing their bodies were touching and faces too close for comfort, moved apart, confused looks on their faces.

Artemis scoffed at the statement,

"Don't be so sure this will be quick."

Asities gave a large smile, teeth showing almost menacingly as she spun her sword once,

"Don't be so sure it won't."

Artemis's face twitched slightly, but she smoothed it out quickly and strung an arrow, eyes burning for battle.

Canary once again, for the last time today, gave the signal and there was no hesitation as they broke through the heated tension between them.

Asities aimed for the girl's neck with such aggression it nicked Artemis before she had the chance to dodge fully. Her lips formed a stern line as she touched the wound, it wasn't deep, but it hurt. Artemis drew her bow as she snapped around, wanting revenge, but surprise struck her; Asities was past her bow and almost touching noses with her.

The blade wielder spun her sword to where she grasped the hilt firmly and drove the butt of her katana into the side of Artemis's head. The blow made her see white for a moment and then it started to go black, stars dancing around her eyes as she felt herself fall to the floor in shock. Her face hit the mat hard, but the damage to her temple made it to where she barely noticed the pain of falling. Hands touched her shoulders as Asities leaned in,

"Sports Master must be so disappointed, right, princess?" The shock on her face may have been from the blow, but the words defiantly had an affect on her.

Asities took no mind as she simply shrugged and spun gracefully to her feet, walking over to Batman and Canary for her prize.
