"Adaptation is key," Katelyn murmured to herself, a barely audible whisper in the silence that followed the clatter and rumble of the maze's destruction. As the walls crumbled around her, she focused on the pulsating waves of her dark energy orbs, their familiar hum the grounding point in the chaos.
Then came the intense light of the spirit ball. Katelyn's eyes narrowed at the incoming projectile, her dark elf agility and instincts flaring to life. She leapt from the wall just as the spirit ball exploded beneath her, the shockwave giving her an additional boost in her ascent. The concussion of the detonation echoed through the remnants of the maze, but Katelyn was already airborne and out of the blast radius.
Then came the triple beams. A dazzling spectacle of raw power, fired from Middy's hands with remarkable precision. Katelyn couldn't help but feel a twinge of admiration, even as she steeled herself for evasion. She twisted her body mid-air, contorting in impossible angles to weave through the onslaught, each narrow dodge leaving a tingling sensation in her wake, a testament to the destructive potential that had just passed her by.
She wasn't entirely unscathed, though. The third beam grazed her, sending her spinning. The blast's heat seared her side, but she was already focusing her energy, healing the singed skin with a quick incantation. As she spiraled, she took the opportunity to direct her dark orbs towards the missile shaped blasts, hoping to neutralize them with a chain of controlled explosions.
Then she was falling. Falling into the thick darkness of the ruined maze. Yet, even as she fell, her ethereal Shadow Wraiths swarmed around her, their ghostly forms ready to cushion her fall. But before they could, a bright light flared behind her - the glow of Middy's aura and the accompanying beam from his scouter. His attack was swift, his maneuver aimed to strike at the back of her head. But Katelyn was ready. A swift twist, a roll in the air, and she avoided the strike with inches to spare. She landed on the ground, her feet hitting the stone with a soft thud.
"Nice moves, Middy," she said, a teasing lilt in her voice as she steadied herself, a faint smile playing on her lips despite the darkness enveloping them. She didn't wait for a response. Instead, she launched herself again, her next spell on the tip of her tongue, her magic surging forth. She was not defeated, and she would show him what it meant to spar with a dark elf.
"Your turn!" Katelyn called out. Her voice seemed to come from everywhere, bouncing off the shadowed fragments of the broken maze. The darkness was her ally, her shield. She intended to make the most of it, of course.
With a fluid sweep of her hand, Katelyn summoned the scattered orbs back to her side, harnessing their remaining power. As she drew them in, the orbs began to pulse faster, their ghastly violet glow intensifying. It was a clear sign they were primed to explode, and this time the detonation would be on her terms.
From the shadows around her, her ethereal Shadow Wraiths stirred, their barely visible forms vibrating with anticipation. With another wave of her hand, she sent them forward, a silent wave of dark energy sweeping across the ruins of the maze. They moved like water, flowing over the uneven ground, blending into the darkness until they were almost imperceptible. Then, Katelyn was in motion. She sprinted forward, her figure a blur against the obsidian backdrop. As she moved, she manipulated her gathered orbs to mirror her, their path zigzagging erratically. They were a diversion, a threat that demanded attention.
While Middy would have to contend with the threat of the orbs, the real danger lurked beneath the surface. The Shadow Wraiths, guided by Katelyn's will, moved stealthily, their dark forms gliding silently beneath Middy's feet. Then, in a coordinated strike, they surged upwards, aiming to ensnare the warrior with their cold, energy draining touch.

<Prelude>
There were things to do on this planet, midnight now talking to one of the elders who was watching the fight club. He was the one who wanted the dog tags of the dirty soiders. wearin a hood in the bar, he was happy with midnight and gave Lancer an evelope to hold onto full of bills. This was a great deal to make money for the Chronos Commonwealth since time ment everything to midnight.
He was quite happy with the way things turned out and he now was drinking and eating with Lancer and the elder. It was a good investment to say the least, midnight now gave him an account number to put the remaining zeni in and he was now going to do that, the alliance getting a bit of cash and it was fun to make money this way as well as help the saiyan empire make money.
He now spoke that now justice can be served weither their in hell or arrested... 'dirty soilders hurt everyone.' he concluded. The wallet was getting filled only to be emptied again.
He beat the champ and it was something else awarded the champion gloves as a prize for his victory. The saiyan now finished up with Lancer drinking and eating, making their way out of the bar and into the streets before lifting off the ground and with a white aura about both of their bodies now flew off towards the wastelands of the planet where the ship was.
All the work was done early so it was a matter of getting some training done but differently. He needed to do some spirit training crusher style and it was alway hard training that made a difference. He made it to the ship after a few moments and landed as the sunroof opened up.
Entering the warship, Obixx and Ms. Nightshade were training and the reinforced gravity chamber was on lock down. He went to sit down and review ALL of the combat data that was recorded in a scouter program. He was now learning different styles of fighting and used their principals to improve the Crusher Stance and his Tiger Claw stance, this being some solid video he was watching. The forms and strength of these forms of kung fu were serious and deadly the Damaskians were no bullshit, it seemed however midnight would be having to go into the meditation pod to get himself mentally stronger.
<Currently>
The fight was a serious one, the saiyan elite now still in elevated super saiyan.... he was laugh at how fun this was, the dark elf was using spells to defeat him as well as combat.... she was a dangerous set when she got mad, now he hit her into a hill and showed how extremist he was, choosing his attacks and techniques carefully.
She then came back and the dark elf now made orbs that were coming after him, the saiyan warrior was now going to have to take care of these seriously, now firing 3 missile shaped energy blasts which each one was as strong as a mastered super dodon pa. This really was discharged at the orbs but there was another problem, his pre-cog tellin him to jump so he did then cupped his hands to his right hip, and a golden aura came about his body now thrusting his arms forward to take care of the spectors or at least get them to disperse, now firing 3 kamehameha blasts at the remaining orbs.
This was something, midnight phased from view and from behind preformed a double handed spike smash to the bach of her neck in hopes of taking her down.

Katelyn watched as Middy handled her orbs with an impressive display of skill, his interestingly shaped energy blasts neutralizing them with precise hits. She had to give him credit. His attacks were well placed, his strategy clear. He was improving, she noted, with a spark of pride.
Yet, her Shadow Wraiths seemed to pose more of a problem for the Saiyan. She could see him struggle against their touch, his aura flickering as they attempted to drain his energy. As he fired his blasts at her remaining orbs, she readied herself for the impending explosion.
Yet, it was his sudden disappearance from view that caught her off guard. She felt a chill run down her spine, a premonition. Her instincts screamed at her to move, to evade, but it was a moment too late.
The double-handed spike smash connected with the back of her neck, a sharp, powerful blow that sent her sprawling forward. She barely had time to muster a defensive barrier around herself to buffer the impact against the rubble.
"Good one, Middy," she called out as she pushed herself up, wincing slightly. Her hand went to the back of her neck, massaging the sore spot. His hit was successful, an indication of his growing power. It was a bit of a setback for her, but she was far from defeated.
"Now, let's see how well you can defend," she said, her voice echoing in the maze. She gathered herself, pushing past the pain. She knew the fight was far from over.
Her hand shot up, a dark energy shield materializing around her. As Middy came for his next attack, she readied herself. This time, she wouldn't be caught off guard. She had an arsenal of spells ready to defend herself, and to push Middy's abilities further.
"Ready for more, Middy?" Katelyn called out, her eyes gleaming with anticipation. She raised her hands, a surge of dark magic forming around her palms. It was time to press the attack once again.
Once more, she summoned her Shadow Wraiths. This time, however, she took a different approach. With a swift, fluid motion, she commanded her Wraiths to merge. Their combined essence began to distort and warp the space around them, bending shadows into a tangible entity. A whirling vortex of darkness, the epicenter of the union pulsed with potent energy. The ground beneath them shivered, reacting to the birth of a formidable creature.
Then, as if the darkness had suddenly gained a consciousness, the swirling mass began to rise, a cyclone of shadow and energy. Its form was fluid, shifting and changing constantly as if it were made of black quicksilver, yet the outline of a gargantuan beast gradually took shape. Limbs formed, long and powerful, ending in vicious claws that seemed to scrape the very essence of the light around them. A broad torso emerged, the shadows writhing like liquid armor, strong and yet utterly ethereal.
"Meet the Shadow Behemoth, Middy," she called out, her voice echoing through the maze. "Avoid its touch if you can."
As the Behemoth lurched forward, Katelyn didn't stay idle. Using the behemoth's advance as a cover, she summoned another series of orbs, this time using her magic to blend them into the shadowy environment, making them nearly invisible. The orbs moved silently through the field, their aim not to strike Middy directly, but to form a perimeter around him, trapping him in their volatile ring.

This was something else, he had training and skills but a shadow behemoth, this was going to be tough. He got his hits on Nightshade and she took it, how strong was the dark elf... midnight only sensed energy that made her feel like she was a lawful good warrior/trainer which was the reason Middy went to collect her.
Seeing this creature form from the shadow wraiths was his first time seeing magic used like that... It didn't make sense to him honestly since he never saw a spell like that before, the shadows now merging and grew in size until it was bigger then a beefcake!
The Saiyan Elite now noticed something else... there were orbs, more than before now coming around but not attacking: The orbs that were controlled by Nightshade were being moved around to make a perimeter where he couldn't escape, this now got serious, now looking at the shadow behemoth as he now shot his palms forward after he charged energy and discharged 3 Kamehameha as he used the KHH ED method to really pelt this creature with blue beams fired from his palm quickly.
This would soon act like a distraction as the jet black haired saiyan elite officer now saw the monster growl and come right at him with midnight now gathering energy in his two hands, his hands glowing with red bolts about his body before thrusting his hands forward and discharging a charged pair of energy beams, one from each hand towards the shadow behemoth which hit and exploded on his body, the creature blocking and not phased in the least, now throwing really fast punches which middy in super saiyan two was moving in and out of without much trouble or hardship, this was his evasive crusher kata he was training, moving away out of claws and punches which he saw slowed down due to his speed being so high, 5 punches were thrown and the man was really moving, it was bad and the orbs were closing in which really made it difficult. (Damn it, he knows i can't charge and dodge at the same time...This will have to be enough... close quarter's combat training... got to love it.)
The extremist kept moving then as the punch came he frontflipped to the right flank and now on his feet, thrust his right and left hand forward which were cupped to his core and discharged three ion blasts at this monsterous creature. If successful not only would the shadow behemoth go down or be at less power but the orbs and even Katelyn would be effected from the strong force of energy channeled into the attack. Such energy and force were needed to take down this warrior, hopefully he'd be able to move around more with the orbs destroyed, the area upon impact shook hard, to the point where it looked like the realm was getting weaker from the overflux of energy in the sonic boom, either way it was looking good.
