Iza is near Doa and starts inspecting her.

Iza: Do you work out by any chance?

Doa: I used to, but not anymore.

Iza: Oh, well you should keep working out... You can come work out with me! You're almost fit. I could get you all the way there.

Doa: I'll think about it...I'm a little lazy right now.

Iza: Maybe this battle will give you the motivation to work out.

Iza looks at Kofron.

He looks away from her and pulls the megaphone up to his mouth.

"Alright! On one side, we have a blond chick with a shotgun!"

"And on the other side, we have Iza, the Strongest Boxer Guardian."

"Let the second match begin!"

Doa starts to run towards Iza but stops after noticing that Iza is just standing without care.

Iza: Do you want me to go all out on you?

Doa: Uh...I don't know. What is all out? How strong are you?

Iza: Come at me, I'll show you my skill at full power.

Doa feels nervous at that statement, she runs towards Iza.

Iza dashes and appears right in front of her. Doa looks surprised. Iza punches her in the face.

"Damn, that was a fat punch!" Kofron exclaims.

Doa is quickly launched far back, she hits the ground and rolls for a little while.

Iza runs up to her and helps her up.

Iza: Are you okay? I have pretty strong punches.

...

Minaro and Mausho stare attentively.

"I wonder if her punches are stronger than that guy who possessed Rinka? Are they stronger than mine? Or is that just because it's Doa getting hit?" Minaro thinks.

Mausho: She's crazy strong.

Minaro looks at Mausho.

Mausho: She's a girl but has more muscle than all of us. It's scary.

Minaro:...She does seem really strong.

...

Doa stands up and picks up her shotgun, she spits out blood.

Doa: Keep going all out.

Iza: You sure? That punch sent you far. I don't really wanna mess you all up.

Doa: It's fine, keep going all out.

Iza: That wasn't actually my full power though sadly, I would have broken your jaw if I had gone full power. I'll just keep the same level of power I used.

Doa stares nervously.

Iza: Don't worry though! If anything bad happens, Liz will fix it right away.

"This is going to be hard…" Doa thinks.

Iza waits for Doa to move, Doa quickly lifts her shotgun up to Iza's face and shoots her.

"A clean blast to the face!"

Iza moves back as blood comes down from her face.

Iza: Hey, that was kinda rude!

Doa jumps away and uses her ultimate skill, she pulls out her pistol and starts firing.

Doa: Sorry, I was just getting the battle started.

Iza puts her arms up to block the bullets then she dashes towards Doa.

Iza: Alright then! Let's do this.

Iza dashes towards Doa and throws a punch, Doa dodges and as Iza passes by her, Doa's shotgun shoots and it hits Iza right in the side of her head, more blood is on her face.

Iza's head bobs back and forth a little, she quickly turns around and tries to punch Doa's shotgun

Doa fires the shotgun and Iza's hand is pushed down, blood comes out of it.

"It seems like the shotgun is quite useful after all!"

Iza tries to punch Doa in the stomach, Doa blocks her fist but is launched back due to its strength.

Doa hits some sort of invisible wall and is caught off guard.

"Huh? What did I hit?" She thinks.

She suddenly bounces off the wall and heads back towards Iza.

Iza quickly punches Doa in the face.

"Did you guys see that! If you did, you're lying. She hit something invisible."

…

"She hit something invisible, what the hell?" Minaro thinks.

Mausho: You saw that right? The girl hit an invisible thing.

Minaro: Uh, yeah, what was that?

Mausho: Iza has a skill that lets her make some sort of invisible boxing ring and it makes you bounce around...I remember one time I was pretending not to hear her, she summoned the ring and I was just being tossed around.

…

Doa hits the invisible ring again and bounces back to Iza. Iza uppercuts Doa in the stomach, sending her a little into the air then she uppercuts her in the face sending her high into the air.

"Iza is tossing that bitch like a pizza!"

Iza quickly dashes away and climbs something invisible then she jumps high into the air and tries to grab Doa. Doa quickly pulls her shotgun up and shoots Iza who is above her. Iza is hit but not injured, she and Doa fall and as they reach the ground, Iza slams into Doa and they crash down.

"Holy shit! Is the shotgun chick gonna survive?"

Doa makes an expression signifying she's in pain as she hits the floor and Iza crushes her.

Iza tries to punch Doa in the back of the head, Doa quickly pulls up her shotgun and moves it behind her head to shoot Iza.

"She did!"

Iza is hit and Doa manages to get her off of her. Doa quickly turns and kicks Iza in the face and stands up.

Iza stomachs the kick and tries to punch Doa, she blocks it but is launched back.

Doa hits and bounces off the invisible ring and back to Iza.

As Iza tries to punch her again, Doa ducks under her arms and slams into her.

Iza is pushed back, Doa quickly pulls her shotgun up to Iza's face and shoots her.

A small amount of blood flies into the air.

Doa starts to repeatedly shoot her shotgun at Iza in an attempt to overwhelm her. Iza blocks her head with her arms, Iza then punches Doa in the stomach which stops the shooting.

"Iza just stopped a barrage of bullets with a single punch! That's one way to exaggerate that huh."

Doa looks somewhat tired, the ultimate skill mixed with the multiple shotgun shots takes a good amount of energy to use.

Doa is pushed back from the punch, Iza starts to throw jabs at Doa, they're very precise and quick, reminiscent of a professional boxer.

Doa blocks one jab at her face but is then hit in the stomach and then in the arm and as she tries to catch another jab she is hit in the face.

Doa is pushed away and as she tries to block another punch, Iza fakes her out and punches her hand that is holding the shotgun. The shotgun breaks instantly.

"Shit! My shotgun." Doa thinks.

"Wow, Iza broke her main weapon, what will shotgun chi- Oh wait she just- what will chick do now!?"

Doa looks worried, Iza jabs at her multiple times, Doa moves away from her every time she swings. Iza eventually lands a good hit and Doa is launched to the floor.

Iza stops jabbing, she tries to punch Doa, Doa quickly moves and uppercuts Iza.

Doa then kicks her in the stomach, Iza resists the kick and grabs her leg, and throws her.

Doa rolls a little and then quickly stands, Iza is right in front of her and tries to punch her.

Doa dodges and runs away. She shoots bullets, some hit Iza.

"I've realized I have no chance in close combat with this girl." Doa thinks.

Iza runs towards Doa, Doa runs away and continues shooting, Iza then dashes towards her and tries to punch her.

Doa dodges and dashes away while shooting faster, suddenly she slams into something invisible and bounces back to Iza.

Doa quickly turns around and manages to kick Iza in the face, Iza grabs her leg after the hit and throws her onto the floor.

Doa stands up while shooting at Iza, she runs off while feeling the air to try and feel the ring before hitting it.

Doa feels the ring and stops, she thinks of what to do as Iza approaches her. Doa tries to climb out of the ring, but some sort of wall stops her from climbing out.

Iza grabs her by the back of her clothes and slams her onto the floor.

"Chick tried to escape but alas! God and his invisible wall have cucked her!"

…

Minaro: It looked like something stopped her from going out of the ring?

Mausho: Yeah, it was the ring. No one considered weaker or with less energy than Iza can leave the ring.

Minaro: Oh wow.

Mausho: I don't know how your friend is gonna win this.

Minaro: I'm going to be honest, I don't think she's going to win.

Mausho laughs.

Mausho: You're not even hoping she will?

Minaro: Not really, I don't care.

...

Doa stands up and tries to uppercut Iza, Iza dodges and punches her in the face, Doa slams into the ring and manages to grab onto it to stop herself from bouncing.

Suddenly Doa feels the ring pushing her closer and closer to Iza.

Doa looks confused.

"What's happening?"

"Blonde chick is being taken by a ghost and pushed towards Iza, what a strange turn of events!"

Iza tries to punch Doa as she is being pushed, Doa dodges and slams into Iza.

"Does she know I'm trying to run away? She's probably shrinking the space around us." Doa thinks.

Iza pushes Doa away after the impact, they are now only a few feet away from each other.

Iza: It's time for you to face me head-on!

Iza starts throwing several punches that Doa can't dodge and has to block instead.

"Blonde chick looks like she's in trouble!"

Doa resists the punches but is making a face of pain.

"I can't keep blocking these!" She thinks.

Doa activates her ultimate skill again and manages to shoot Iza multiple times in the eye, Iza stumbles back, the invisible ring is now gone.

Doa jumps back and continues to fire bullets that hit every time.

…

Mausho: Hey, why doesn't your friend use real bullets?

Minaro:...I don't know?

Mausho: She seems to be able to land all of her shots, so with real bullets, she would deal tremendous damage.

Minaro: I don't know, we can ask her after the battle.

...

Iza wipes her eyes.

Doa hits the ring again and it starts pushing her.

"Let me try something." Doa thinks.

Doa dashes away from the ring and towards Iza. Iza is surprised and tries to punch her, Doa quickly jumps back and hits the ring which bounces her forward and towards Iza really fast.

Doa tackles Iza and knocks her down. Doa restrains one of her arms then starts to repeatedly punch her and shoot her. Suddenly Iza lifts her head and head butts Doa.

"Blonde chick seemed to outsmart Iza but Iza's strength has overpowered her!"

Iza pushes Doa off of her, stands up, and then punches Doa in the face.

Doa hits the ring and continues shooting. Iza isn't affected by it and throws another punch.

Doa quickly dodges it and punches Iza in the face, the bullets are finally starting to affect Iza as she moves back. Doa looks tired, the direct punches were finally getting to her.

Doa runs away and continues shooting, Iza quickly dashes and appears in front of Doa, Iza grabs her by the arm and starts to spin her around.

"Let's hope blonde chick doesn't vomit after this."

Doa is thrown towards the ring, she slams into it and bounces into the floor, as she tries to stand up Iza appears right in front of her and uppercuts her as hard as possible.

Doa's head flicks upwards as blood shoots out of her mouth and nose.

"DAAAMM! That shit looked hard what the fuuuuck!" Kofron yells.

Doa hits the ground, she's now knocked out, blood forms under her head.

Iza: Oh, did I do that too hard?

Iza picks up Doa.

Iza: Sorry, are you okay?

"THE WINNER IS IZA!!!"

Iza puts Doa on her shoulder and takes her to Liz.

...

Mausho: Well, there goes asking after the battle.

Iza walks over to Mausho and Minaro and takes a seat next to Mausho.

Iza: Whadya think of my battle?

Mausho: Not bad? But It wasn't really that cool since your opponent was way weaker than me.

Iza: Then let me fight you again. Unless I've gotten stronger than you.

Iza chuckles.

Mausho: I'm good, last time we fought I think I got temporary asthma from all the times you knocked the wind out of me.

Iza laughs.

Iza: I think that means I'm stronger than you.

Iza then stares at Minaro and taps on his shoulder a few seconds later, he looks at her.

Iza: Hey, tell your friend I said sorry, I didn't mean to punch her that hard.

Minaro: Okay.

...

Maya walks to the battlefield and waits for an opponent, she takes a seat.

Liz looks at the guardians.

Liz: Who's going up against her?

Guardian Xika who was sleeping wakes up and slowly stands up.

Xika: I'll go.

Liz: That's surprising, I didn't think you would even wake up.

Xika: I did, and just so I can get this over with. I'm gonna fight the weakest one.

Liz: That's not respectable, but go ahead.

Xika walks to the battlefield holding his unsheathed sword.
