You don’t care <span class="mu-i">HOW</span> good-looking this thing is… if it’s standing between you and that <span class="mu-s">PINK AXOLOTL</span> then it’s goin’ down! Darting towards each other at the sound of an invisible starting gun, your first instinct is to duck under the shade’s initial attack and counter, but you know yourself better than anyone… and you know you’re <span class="mu-i">FASTER!</span>
Meeting each other at the center of the <span class="mu-s">COMBAT BUBBLE THING</span>, you and your darkened double both throw a punch at the same time… but yours reaches his face <span class="mu-i">FIRST!</span> The shade’s cheek feels like a very sturdy cloud when your fist connects with it, but your attack still sends him reeling!
Stumbling backwards from the strength of your blow, the shade tries to fend your subsequent strikes off with a flurry of sidekicks, but you’re too fast! Dodging away from his lightning-quick attacks, you deliver a spinning kick of your own to the shade’s chest that launches him even further across the bubble like a stone skipping across a pond!
“That’s the way, sandcrab!” Cheers Pepper as she jumps up and down in support! “Knock his block off!”
The shade recovers from your attack quicker than expected–though he <span class="mu-i">is</span> you, kind of… you’d probably get up as fast as you could too! Kicking some water into your face as he leaps to his feet, the shade prepares to square off again! In that split moment where he’s rising, however, you see your chance… and you decide to:
>TAKE OUT HIS LEGS! SLOW HIM DOWN!
>BAIT AN ATTACK AND COUNTER! WEAR HIM OUT!
>GO FOR HIS HEAD… GET BRUTAL!
>WRITE-IN!
