Hokay. Finally got that done. Sorry about the wait, but we're back!

He pants, then looks down at his hands, surprised. “…Huh.”
But while he’s distracted, you keep up the pressure, dodging around him and keeping him engaged in combat. Afterimages, Multi-Form, Raio-ken. Drain what stamina is left. Videl tries to jump in to keep you off him, but Keli keeps her at bay. You try to come up with a few more taunts… but they clearly sound like you’re pulling punches. So you try a different tactic. “Tell me, you think you can cast away the sins of your father, your family, so easily? Turn things around and truly be a hero? Then give it your all! Show me you’ve got what it takes!”
“I’m not my father! Not my uncle or my grandfather! I’M ME! KURIZA!” His aura flares up again and his power surges once more, the two of you punching forward, fists clashing and shaking the area once more.
Your arm feels numb and goes limp, but that surge of power is the last push needed to drain what remained of his stamina. He powers down, returning to normal, and collapses. You smile kindly, your voice back to normal. “Well done, Kuriza. Now let’s see you keep that up, and really be the glorious glorious golden hero that form represents.”
He smiles weakly and closes his eyes, Pilaf starting the count. Keli does her best to keep Videl away, and realizing she can’t do much else, she relents and gets out of combat, your partner doing the same. “…Nine …Ten! KURIZA IS UNABLE TO BATTLE!”
You look to Videl, and she smiles kindly. “I knew he had it in him. It’s going to be hard to face the both of you together… but fair’s fair in this kind of match. Plus it looks like both of you are pretty well drained yourselves. And I’ve still got plenty of stamina left.” She rolls her shoulders then cracks her knuckles. “Ready to finish this, Peppa?”
>A. Absolutely! Not backing down!>B. Videl, you wanna get Kuriza out of the way first?>C. Keli, move Kuriza, quickly. I’m gonna take her on>D. Pick Kuriza up and move him yourself>E. Keli, team attack!>F. Something else?
