Bam. Bam. Bam. The kicks continued, each time causing a light explosion of blue flames, particles of which flew apart, freezing the ground around. Lorko no longer had the strength to scream, he just waited with a pained look until his agony finally stopped. No one expected events to unfold this way, because... Edir had just broken some very serious rules. Adam had challenged the Guardian of the D-Zone, so no one was supposed to interfere in their fight. However, Edir decided that he could disregard that rule. Moreover, Lorko... the Guardian, was not strong enough to counter Edir even once. All his attempts were helpless and couldn't make Edir even tense up. For a crushing victory, Edir only needed to use his Order, his physical strength, and blue flames to overwhelm the Guardian. Soon, Edir stopped, took a deep breath, and pulled a pack of cigarettes out of his pocket. Most didn't pay much attention to it, but... where did Edir get cigarettes from? Perhaps they could be obtained in future zones, but the F-Zone and D-Zone simply didn't have cigarettes, and neither did another item... Click. Edir opened the lighter, holding the cigarette up to the vibrant green flame, a few seconds was enough for thick streams of smoke to head upwards. "Agh... That was refreshing..." Edir muttered before swinging his fist, taking out the blue flames. Then, an unpleasant sound came from the speakers mounted in the walls, as if someone was adjusting a long-term unused microphone. [Prisoner N#... no... Edir, you broke the rules by attacking a Guardian who came out to fight against another prisoner. You probably know what that means, don't you?] The mechanical voice spread throughout the D-Zone, causing some prisoners to flinch. They realized that only Prago could handle Edir quickly, which meant... he would be coming here soon! However... Edir wasn't worried at all. His gaze was calm and collected, but not because he was going to fight Prago. No, he had another plan. Even if he was strong compared to the other K1-Phantoms, against a K2-Phantom, he didn't stand a chance. The difference in power was too great. "Yeah, I know how things work, that's why I prepared myself. I mean... I attacked Adam's opponent, so... it'll be fair if he attacks mine, won't it?" Edir said nonchalantly, glancing to the corner of the room - right into the small black camera. [What are you talking about...?] A mechanical voice said uncertainly. Edir smirked. "Come on. You should know where I got this from." Edir picked up the pack of cigarettes, then he returned it to his pocket and pulled out something else. Adam's eyes went wide, and a wave of shock spread throughout the D-Zone, for in Edir's hand was a blue card with '999' points! [You want to challenge the Guardian of the C-Zone to a fight...?] A mechanical voice anxiously asked. Krana waved her hand nonchalantly, an arrogant smile appearing on her face. "Calm down. Your older sister will take care of everything. You, as the younger one, don't have to worry. I'll handle all our problems." Krana said proudly. Trana's veins swelled as she clenched her fists tightly. "You're only three minutes older than me! Damn it!" Trana exclaimed furiously, "Stop mentioning it all the time! Three minutes is just three minutes! It doesn't mean anything! You just got lucky!" "Hahahahaha, you don't have to get so stressed out about it." Krana smirked. She was clearly enjoying teasing her sister. Tremble. Tremble. Tremble. However... A powerful pressure spreading like white flames made her look away. "Hey... Did you come here to sort out sisterly problems or to stop a prisoner?" Adam said menacingly, ready to fight. Krana and Trana instantly got other faces and prepared to fight. Whoooooooosh. Edir jumped high up, finding himself on the second floor next to Lola. Then, he quickly ran forward and returned seconds later - with two chocolate milkshakes in his hands. "I was late for the last fight, but I'm fully prepared for this one!" Edir smiled, passing one milkshake to Lola. "Thank you..." Lola whispered modestly. "Hmm... Sometimes a missed opportunity in one moment can turn out to be a fortunate moment in the near future, right? I mean, I'd rather drink this milkshake while watching the Adam vs Trana and Krana fight, because it'll be much more interesting than Adam vs Lorko, right?" Edir uttered, with a slightly curious face. "I don't know... I guess you're right..." Lola scratched her cheek uncertainly. Crackle. Crackle. Krana and Trana opened their black cases, revealing their Nexuses. Expectedly, their Nexuses were almost identical, with only minor differences. Trana had a long battle scythe with a straight blade, while Krana's scythe had a curved blade, perfect for tearing the flesh of their enemies. "By the way... Before we begin. Did you both ignite your Spark at the same time? Simple curiosity. This is the first time I've met twin Phantoms, you know." Adam shrugged. Krana quickly replied, poking her thumb at her chest. "Hah, I did it a month early! It's no surprise though, since I'm the older sister!" Krana was proud of this. Adam nodded. He had thought that if one twin was a Phantom, then the other would meet the same fate, but Krana and Trana were just one of the rare examples of both twins becoming Phantoms. Moreover, the delay between the appearance of their Sparks was negligible. Adam nodded deeply, and his eyes shone brightly. 'They are strong, though they behave eccentrically. Fine, with their help, I can awaken my aura!'
