BOOM!
The force of their clash sent shockwaves tearing through the air, cracking the walls of the arena. Dust and debris shot up like an explosion as Raphael and Wraith blurred into motion again, trading blows at speeds that left afterimages behind.
Raphael twisted mid-air, dodging a punch by inches before slamming his knee into Wraith's ribs.
CRACK!
Wraith grunted but retaliated instantly, grabbing Raphael's leg and swinging him like a meteor into the ground. The floor caved in on impact, a massive crater forming beneath Raphael's body.
But before Wraith could press the advantage—
BOOM!
A pillar of raw energy erupted from the crater. Raphael shot up like a bullet, twisting in the air, and drove his elbow straight into Wraith's face.
WHAM!
Wraith skidded back, feet tearing through the stone, but he caught himself just before hitting the wall. He wiped a streak of blood from his lip, grinning.
"Not bad."
Raphael didn't respond. He was already moving.
FWOOOSH!
