Setting: Terra Cotta's Manor

Both sides brandished their weapons and began analyzing their foes, waiting to see who would move first. No one made a move for a long time. None of them were acting rashly. There was only silence until the first strike was made. Remus teleported in front of Silver.

"What the!" Silver said startled.

Remus attacked with a swing of his sword aiming for Silver, but he was barely blocked by Silver's Ceasefire transforming into escrima sticks to parry Remus' sword strike. Remus continued his onslaught and Silver countered each blow. This worked for a time until the speed of Remus' attacks increased. He was becoming too fast for Silver to deflect each blow and would eventually overwhelm him. Before the battle could turn against him, Silver did what he does best, play dirty.

Silver stomped hard on Remus' foot, keeping him in place and surprising the younger boy. His underhanded tactic shocked Remus and gave Silver the opportunity to repeatedly strike Remus several times in the chest and arms with his sticks then transformed Ceasefire back into guns and had them pressed right against Remus' chest before he fired, sending his opponent back several feet onto the ground. Silver moved in for a second wave but was stopped by several knives with red dust in the grips sticking to the ground very close to his feet. Violet rushed to Remus' side to make sure he wasn't dead, completely ignoring Silver who was about to shoot until the knives around him began to glow red. They exploded all around him in a fiery blast, blowing him back to his starting point next to Zelts who just watched the fight unfold.

"You know you could've swooped in anytime right?" Silver complained to Zelts as he picked himself off the floor.

"I thought you didn't need it, you were doing so well," Zelts said, which annoyed Silver who interpreted it as sarcasm.

While Silver and Zelts were conversing, Violet was checking on Remus who wasn't moving.

"Remus! Are you okay?" Violet was hoping to get a response which she did. Remus groaning in pain and rubbing his chest. "That hurt," was the only thing he said. Violet let out a breath relieved that he wasn't dead. She placed a hand on his chest without his permission to inspect the wound and found nothing.

"Looks like his guns only affected his aura. That's a relief, but it may be a different story if our aura levels were depleted," Violet thought as she analyzed her opponent.

Suddenly, Zelts stepped forth and raised his shield facing Violet and Remus. "Time to show what I can do."

Looking at his shield, Violet, Remus, and Silver had the same thought, "Doesn't look like it could do much,"

Zelts put both his hands on the two handles behind the shield and used them to pull it apart. The shield split into two big wingblades, surprising everybody in the room. Zelts swung one of his swords in the direction of Violet and Remus and a powerful gust of green wind came worth heading straight towards them. When the wind hit, they were blown back by the tremendous force, landing near the other side of the main hall where the stairs were. This small display of strength surprised everyone once again.

Silver whistled with amusement. "A wind sword beam. Pretty cool." He was impressed and felt fortunate to have such a powerhouse on his side.

"Not exactly a beam, but yeah it's pretty cool." Zelts was little flattered by the praise.

Violet quickly stood back up and realized the disadvantage she and Remus were facing.

"This isn't good. The funny haired idiot was one thing, but the other guy's a problem. His weapon will make it very difficult for us to get close to them. Plus, his wind seems strong enough to deflect my Vorpal Swords if I throw them. Remus could get close with his semblance, but those two together will be too much for him to handle. It's not hopeless, but I don't see the odds in our favor,"

Before she could come up with a plan, Remus got up with a smile on his face. Not a smile of insanity, but one of thrill. The smile of someone having a fun time which confounded Violet.

"Your weapon is so cool!" Remus complimented.

Zelts didn't expect the enemy to praise him."W...well thank y-"

"But it's not enough," Remus said, interrupting Zelts. Remus' words sounded like an insult, but he still had an innocent look on his face. He held his sword close, prepared to do something.

"This is mine! Velocitas Eradico!" he shouted.

Remus transformed his sword into a railgun and it looked like he was about to fire. Zelts decided to attack with another wind swing before Remus could do anything, but Remus already pulled the trigger and a bolt of fast moving energy pierced right through the gust of wind. Zelts was able to move out of the way and the energy hit the wall and blew up the front of the manor, shocking everyone. Remus fired again, immediately after the first shot, and aimed for Silver.

Silver felt so overwhelmed by the destructive power that he couldn't move. Zelts reattached the Wings of Icarus back to shield form but did not use it to block the attack. Instead, he had it in one hand facing Silver while the other was in front of him and about to be hit by the energy shot.

"Zelts! What the hell are you doing!" Silver screamed but was too late to stop him.

The blast made an impact with his hand but slowly began to fade away. The only thing that was left was Zelts' hand which was glowing gold. Before anyone could say anything, Zelts explained what happened.

"You were kind enough to explain your semblance, so I'll tell you mine. Your semblance is teleportation, Silver's is gravity manipulation-"

"Way to tell them my semblance, dumbass," Silver complained in his mind.

"-mine is named Conversion. I can absorb various forms of energy; dust, lasers, you name it. The energy is stored inside myself increases my own physical abilities," Zelts continued.

"Or..." Zelts said as he changed the Wings of Icarus into wingblades again. "I can take it further and do this."

The blades began to surge with electricity and just like before, he swung the swords, this time, the wind had electricity in it, the color changed from green to shimmering gold, and it looked much stronger than the last one. Remus grabbed Violet and teleported behind the wind so they could pass by unharmed. Violet was bewildered by back and forth of abilities, but that changed when she saw Remus' face. He was pouting, like a child who didn't get the toy they wanted. Not only did this confuse Violet, but the others as well. It was actually the first time Violet witnessed her companion express any real form of emotion and it was an odd choice.

"Ugh! I thought I had you this time!" Remus' pout quickly turned into a smile as he continued. "You guys are good, you make this battle exciting."

Zelts didn't know what to say and Silver was crept out by Remus. "What is wrong with him?"

No longer lost in the midst of battle, Violet was thinking of a strategy to get the battle in their favor.

"Now he's even more dangerous. He can absorb energy and I assume that includes dust so our attacks won't do a thing. Our best chance is to take them head-on in close combat. The big one will be too occupied to use his wind and there's the other one... I can take him,"

Violet was about to instruct Remus on her plan, but the reassuring look he gave her meant he knew what she was thinking.

Remus teleported again to Zelts' front and attacked him, resulting in a clash of blades. Silver turned to shoot him from behind, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw Violet attacking him with a roundhouse kick. It landed, causing Silver to backpedal and have a very annoyed look on his face.

"Alright girl, you got my attention."

Silver started shooting and Violet acted accordingly by throwing her Vorpal Swords. Each round deflected the other as bullets ricocheted and knives fell to the ground. The battle seemed to be even. While the duel continued, Violet suddenly vanished before Silver's eyes, leaving a trail of tulip petals that disappeared moments later. This caught him off-guard and he stopped firing, not knowing where she was or what to do next. A few seconds later, a Vorpal Sword was floating from the ground into the air behind him. Violet reappeared and jabbed him from behind with the knife which electrocuted him. After the shock, Silver glowed the same color of his name then jumped high in the air to create some distance, but Violet responded quickly. She pulled out three ice knives and threw them while he was still airborne. Silver could only pull up his arms and block with his weapons. One knife froze one of his legs while the other two got both of his arms, freezing his limbs and preventing him from moving. Helpless, the only thing he could do was fall to the ground. The impact did hurt, but it was enough to shatter the ice and free his body.

Silver slowly got up and was about to attack again, but she disappeared a second time. Looking at his surroundings, he didn't see her, just Zelts and Remus maintaining their clashing stalemate as neither of them wavered. Hearing something cut through the air, Silver instinctively jumped back and saw two knives hit his former spot and electrify the ground. Looking above, he saw Violet on the top of the stairs where she first appeared and went back into the hallway she came from. Silver used his semblance to make it to the banister in one jump and followed her. He cautiously proceeded down the narrow hallway with Ceasefire as guns. He saw the fallen guards, but not Violet. He still didn't see her as he continued down the hall. Above him, Violet was doing a perfect split to stay above Silver without him sensing her presence until she noticed that Silver jerked his head, probably noticing she was directly above him.

"Time to end this,"

Violet took out the knives sheathed to her legs and quietly dropped to land the finishing blow. Silver put his arms up to guard, but rather than from above, he guarded his front. He wasn't trying to stop her attack. Out of nowhere, a wave of earth spikes erected from the ground and was heading for Silver and Violet. Both of them were hit and sent across the hall, back into the main entrance where they landed in the middle of the room. This occurrence caused the duel between Remus and Zelts to cease as both of them went to their respective partner to check if they're okay. As all of them recovered, a man stepped out of the hallway and onto the banister to examine the area, looking at defeated allies and a massive hole in the building. His eyes stopped at the four intruders who damaged his home.

"So, you four decided to enter my home, humiliate my personnel, and make so much noise? If you wanted a meeting, you should've made an appointment," the unknown voice said catching everyone's attention. His voice echoed throughout the large room. It was deep and rough with a hint of irritation.

Everyone looked up to see a man with a large naginata in his hands. Violet knew who he was based on his bounty poster.

"Terra Cotta."
