You can even feel your wife's gaze, but this is an important point to drive home early. “If Chaya's smart, she'll still be on her guard. Until you know your opponent is done and won't fight anymore, you should never drop your guard. Understand?”
“Uh huh.” your daughter answers, turning back to the screen as your sister drops down to her hands and knees. You notice now that' since recombining her bodies the damage she took is lessened, but not erased. In fact, you'd wager that she brought over more damage from her weakened body than not. Something important to remember, should you employ a similar tactic in the future.
“What an outstanding performance! With overwhelming power, our former champion has put on quite the display today!” Dallas shouts, his announcer platform flying down beside Chaya. “Tell us, what was that last attack you used?”
“I'm all for a mid-fight interview, but you two may want to get back.” your sister says, pushing herself back up to her feet. You seeing the shock on the robot's face and the horror on Dallas's as they understand the implications, their announcer pod immediately flying back.
“It would seem that our former champion doesn't think the current one is down for the count yet!” he says after regaining his composure. “Juanita, what do you think of her assessment?”
“If she doubts that her attack, even one as unexpected and devastating as that one didn't finish the job, then we should probably believe her.” Juanita answers. “Or, at least we should get back out of blast range.”
“I couldn't have said it better myself.” Dallas says, the camera shifting back towards Chaya once more. Only for a massive beam of light to erupt from the crater. The golden beam fills the ENTIRE thing, your daughter yelping in surprise as the light burns brighter and brighter. “And it would seem that her assessment was correct! This fight's not over yet folks!”
“C'mon sis, finish her off for good this time!” Kayle, your second-younger sister shouts as she surges up out of her seat as well. “Take her down!”
“Yeah, finish her off!” Maz agrees, getting up as well. But as the light around Tanya's form coalesces into that same cluster of divine magical circles behind her, you have a feeling it's not going to be easy. Uniform tattered and torn, blood soaking half her face and wearing a furious scowl, Tanya isn't finished yet.
“I can't lose! Not here, NOT to YOU!” Tanya howls, voice sounding even less like her own than usual. She sounds almost deranged, like a cornered animal howling.
