“I see. Using the weapon to show off, then going in for the kill with your real weapon.” Bane says, you giving him a small nod. Although you don't plan on using your saber in this fight, as you know it is always better to have and not need. “But are you sure about this?”
“Positive. I've studied her fighting style, how she likes to fight and what types of attacks she prefers. And while there's no way that she's shown off everything she's got, Tanya estimated that she has shown about forty three percent of her true strength.” you say to him, grabbing your knife Chilli'd made for you out of the bone of a dragon, tucking it into your left boot before rising back up to your feet. It's time.
You exit your private chamber, seeing that the future you has already left. She's gone out of your room, you sensing her energy by Ace's own out in the arena. Time for you to go as well.
“There you are. Got about two minutes until showtime.” Soba says, turning in his control center and pitching you your scouter underhanded. “Ready to go?”
“Ready.” you reply, catching it with your telekinetic grip and securing it to your face, pressing the button to activate the device. “This one's going to be fun.”

“Don't worry, she's not going to catch me off guard so easily.” you reply, heading to the door. “I've got you watching my back.”
“Hmph. Get on out of here.” he replies, you heading to the door and going out. Once out of your private Champion's quarters you take off, flying over to the giant dome. As you approach the open top, you hear the cheers coming from the crowd within. You fly past the automated defenses, the system recognizing and not firing upon you. Flying through the dropship entrance you find a perch, landing and looking down on the arenas below. Quickly spotting her down below, you watch as the redheaded woman obliterates a spider-like Landstalker tanks with her flaming fist, vaporizing it in a single strike to the audience's cheers.
Then, soaring down past you come five Dreadzone dropships, but before any can either fire upon her or drop their cargo of soldiers down to the arena the woman's fiery power blazes, roaring to the heavens as she attacks.
“Callidus Brachium Barrage!” she bellows, swinging her flaming fists rapid-fire. Unleashing a barrage of dozens of fiery shots, each exploding from her and melting foot-wide holes straight through each of the ships. Causing all five to explode simultaneously.
