Setting: Outside A Baoa Qu 12:05 p.m.
Char – "This place again, it really does seem to be a 'Tower of Destiny.'"
Milliardo – "And they criticize me for wearing only one mask; come now Casval Daikun, are we not to fight?"
Char – "Casval died years ago, but his family was avenged the day this fortress fell. You do know that victory will be denied to you, right?"
Milliardo – "How might that be?"
Char – "I am beyond your comprehension; your power is nothing compared to mine, for I am invincible."

Milliardo did not respond with words; he extended his Heat Whip, and as a green glow overtook the Epyon's eyes he attacked.
Char let loose his Funnels and fired with his Beam Rifle; he had made the mistake of underestimating his opponents before, he would not do so now.

Char – "Funnels Go!"

The Epyon moved with an effortless grace, the shots rang out from the Funnels but not a one grazed the Dragon. Char had to give his adversary credit, his skills were impressive. The Epyon moved in with its Heat Whip, but Char managed to dodge to the side leaving a scar of molten rock in his wake.
Milliardo was getting tired of those annoying Remote Weapons the Sazabi used; fortunately Milliardo had a fly swatter for the insects. The Heat Whip frenzied to overcome its 3 targets.
Char was not about to be outdone by his rival, but in the open space the Epyon had the advantages of speed and maneuverability. Char fired his Beam Rifle to keep the Epyon at bay as the fight shifted toward the docking bays. As the Epyon came around a bend of the rock, Char fired the Sazabi's Mega particle Cannon.

Char – "Take this!"

Milliardo had not seen the attack coming, but his reaction speed in the Epyon was enough to evade the powerful strike. This Char was getting desperate.

Milliardo – "Too slow Char; you'll have to do better than that."

Char was quite agitated by this comment; who was this Milliardo to fight invincibility? Char activated his Beam Sabers and moved in for the kill.

Milliardo – "Finally."

The Epyon pulled out its own Beam Sword, connected to the very power core of the suit. Char's energy blades could not match the power of the Epyon; Char's mastery of the swords, however, managed to score hits upon the Dragon. Milliardo was getting beaten back, but the Heat Whip would not be denied. Milliardo brought the weapon in an upward sweep and made contact with Char's Mega Particle Cannon.

Char – 'Drat!'

The Sazabi retreated with great haste into the bowels of A Baoa Qu. The Epyon calmly rested outside of the dock before entering.

Milliardo – "Char! I thought you were invincible. Well, well. Ready or not?"

Char had to remove his helmet; it had become full of perspiration form the battle. The Sazabi was hiding in a narrow corridor just off to the side from the main entrance.

Char – 'What's wrong with me, I know I can do better than this.' Milliardo – "1, 2. I'm coming for you."

Char reached out with his mind, and saw the Epyon standing at the entrance to the docks.

Milliardo – "3, 4, 5. How to stay alive?"

Inside the cockpit was a man who reminded Char of himself at a younger age. Still, a shadow seemed to cloud everything. The Epyon was walking into the trap; Char readied his Beam Saber.

Milliardo – "6, 7. Go to Hell, or go to Heaven?"

As he finished the line, the proximity scan indicated an incoming target the Sazabi. Even with his enhanced reaction time, Milliardo was only fast enough to keep the cut from hitting his cockpit.

Milliardo – "That's the spirit!"

The Epyon grabbed the Sazabi's right arm and swung it against a nearby wall. He followed that up with a devastating kick to the Sazabi's mid section. The big red suit landed with a massive thud, minus one right arm.

Milliardo – "Invincible huh? I've seen better from cadets."

The Sazabi slowly stood up with a quiet dignity, inside his cockpit Char was laughing.

Char – "Look behind you."

Sensors picked up the Funnels too late, but Milliardo had already known they were there. He didn't bother to turn around, the shots hit the back of the Epyon but that was mainly cosmetic damage to the wings which were folded back to protect the engines. The Sazabi came in with a punch to the Epyon's head, but it did not see the Heat Whip lying on the ground wrap itself around the Sazabi's left leg. A rapid tug and a quick turn caused the Sazabi to get hit by its own Funnel shots. Milliardo activated his Beam Sword once more and plunged it into the power core of the Sazabi. That was followed by a decapitation, and a removal of the red sphere within.

Milliardo – "You have lost."
Char – "Have I now?"
Milliardo – "Don't give me this invincible nonsense Char; it is pointless at this juncture."
Char – "Char left some time ago, I suppose he is with his 'Lalah' by now."
Milliardo – "Excuse me?"
Char – "My name is Gihren Zabi, and I had intended to get my revenge on those who brought about my untimely death." Milliardo – "So, you are the one behind this tournament; whose whole point was your own petty gambit for revenge."
Gihren – "Precisely, the torment and sorrow I caused has easily been worth it."

Milliardo had no answer for this man with no ethics whatsoever, but he was not above clemency. The Epyon brought its hands together crushing the last son of the Zabis.

Milliardo – "This place is pretty big, bigger than Libra at least… and probably harder to stop."
