“Pegasus?”

The entire crowd was in an uproar.

“Did she just say Pegasus?”

“Holy shit.”

“This is awesome.”

“No fucking way.”

Even most of the Zodiac members were in awe of this announcement. Some of them were out of their seats.

Raion looked around in confusion.

“What’s going on Doriama?”

“It seems her spirit animal is the Pegasus.”

“It’s that a bad thing?”

“Quite the opposite, it’s a mythical beast. One of the rarest spirits that you can have.”

Down in the arena, Pantero and Riri were shocked.

“Stella, you were hiding something fucking huge.” Pantero snickered.

“You’ll regret making me look like a fool and taking the spotlight away from me Stella.” Riri dusted herself off.

The three of them were in another staredown. The power and momentum had shifted towards Stella now. Both Riri and Pantero knew this. They were in a difficult situation. Do they put away their differences and team up? Or continue to fight each other when there was a bigger threat to worry about.

Riri didn’t hesitate and attacked Stella. Pantero took advantage of Riri’s tunnel vision on Stella and took a cheap shot at Riri’s side while she was charging head first at Stella. Riri was too busy focusing on Stella that she didn’t see Pantero’s attack coming and was blind sided. His attack knocked her straight out of the arena.

As she was falling to the ground, her wings were able to save her. She flew back up into the air before hitting the ground.

“Pantero, you coward.”

“Hey it was worth a shot.”

Riri flew up high and started gathering up her energy.

“Both of you are dead.”

“Wait you’re not allowed to ki-”

“Dragon’s breath!”

Riri unleashed a powerful beam from her mouth down to the arena.

Pantero and Stella dodged the blast, but Riri kept shooting out the beam from her mouth and aimed it towards Pantero. He ran around the arena, but the arena was breaking apart due to the blast so it was hard to keep a stable footing on the ground.

“You crazy bitch.”

As Riri was focused on Pantero, Stella kicked the air multiple times to climb up to Riri’s height. Riri stopped her beam.

“Not this time Stella.”

She shot her beam at Stella in mid air, but Stella was too quick and dodged around the beam and began kicking Riri.

“...air rodeo”

Riri had to put up her guard, but Stella’s attacks kept getting fierer and her kicks were getting heavier. Riri’s guard loosened up and Stella capitalized on it.

“...final gait*”

Stella channeled her energy into her leg and broke through Riri’s guard and landing the kick straight into her gut sending her straight down outside the arena.

Riri stopped herself again before touching the ground. Stella continued her pursuit down towards Riri.

“...meteor stampede”

She focused all her energy into this one shot.

Riri still was groggy from the last assault. Her wings couldn’t move they way she wanted to, she was helpless to the attack. As Stella was about to land the kick, Pantero pulled another cheapshot this time towards Stella whose attention was focused on Riri.

“Shadow claw!” Pantero shouted.

Before Pantero’s attack could land, Stella was able to put her shin up in defense. Pantero’s collided with Stella sending her flying towards the inner walls of the Coliseum. Pantero landed on Riri and jumped off of her and back onto the arena.

“Pantero I’m going to kill you for using me like that.” Riri flew back onto the arena and landed, falling onto one knee.

“Come on, you know I saved your ass out there. And besides Stella has to be disqualified, there’s no way she can get...back...”

Stella was speeding towards them through the air.

She got in front of him. He threw a punch downwards, but she was able to dodge and counter it, throwing three quick kicks in succession. One to the face and two to the gut.

He continued to claw at her, but she kept countering each of his strikes with a kick. He stumbled backwards. She spun around and threw another kick to the body sending him flying out of the arena and falling onto the ground.

Pantero had been eliminated.
