Shiline spun around, her eyes locking onto Moss's cheerful face. His encouraging smile only fueled her frustration.
"Shut up, idiot! Can't you see I need to focus?" she shouted, her voice echoing through the stadium. "What do you know about me? Just buzz off!"
Moss's smirk deepened. "I know you're holding back."
Shiline sighed, turning back to the fight just as Luna launched a drop kick. With a swift motion, Shiline raised a barrier, blocking the attack. Luna jumped away, but Shiline countered with her force powers, propelling herself toward Luna at incredible speeds.
The two fighters clashed, their blows shaking the stadium. Luna stumbled, her strength waning, as Shiline landed a devastating punch to her stomach. The sound of cracking ribs filled the air, and Luna collapsed onto the shattered ring.
As Shiline turned away, she noticed Luna's faint yellow aura. Suddenly, Luna mustered her last ounce of energy and charged toward Shiline. Moss's eyes widened in alarm.
"Shiline, don't hit her! She'll die!" he thought, poised to intervene.
Just as the two fighters were about to deliver the final blow, a red aura burst between them, catching their attacks and unleashing a blinding explosion.
When the light dissipated, a figure with fiery red hair stood before them. Luna's eyes sparkled with hope.
"Lexi... always coming to save me."
Lexi gently scooped up Luna, cradling her exhausted form. As she turned to leave, her gaze locked onto Shiline.
"You'll pay for what you've done to my friend."
The referee declared Shiline the winner, and the crowd erupted into cheers. Moss exhaled in relief, but Shiline's face betrayed a deep disappointment.
With a quiet resolve, she turned and walked away, leaving the victor's podium behind.
