https://youtu.be/0KB2UeMXgb0Behind you both, Pantea had been gathering up both Ki and Magic into one last move. Not something you would’ve gone with, but this’ll work just fine. “HEY! 19!” Pantea calls out, holding her hands forward after having waved them around. “SHIN! BURNING ATTACK!” A Fire Magic infused massive ball of Ki rockets from Pantea’s splayed out hands.
19 tries to move her hands back to absorb it, but with you there, she’s stuck, able to do little more than look at the attack coming her way. She tries a barrier one last time, but seems to be aware that it’s not gonna do much more than soften the hit a bit. 19 looks back at you… and smiles. “Good match, Izzy.”
The blazing ball of energy hits her barrier, and while it’s held back for a moment, it soon overcomes the shield and erupts with a tremendous amount of force. It’s enough to actually knock you down into the ground… but also send 19 flying, right out of the ring!
“Number 19 is out of bounds! PANTEA AND IZUMI ADVANCE TO THE NEXT ROUND!” Pilaf declares.
The crowds cheer over your victory, and Pantea quickly rushes over to help you back up. “Sorry, sorry, might’ve overdone it a bit.” she tells you apologetically, holding her hand out to you.
