Vex grabbed Aurelis' shoulder, pointing his finger at Ignis.

  He furrowed his eyebrows "You there, in the red cowl!"

  Ignis' feet scratched the surface of the hall, his movement halting.

  Vex patted Aurelis on his back, his feet swiftly moving against the ground "Where do you think you are going? My buddy here just called your name."

  Ignis stepped back, turning around to face Vex, whispering "Who are you?"

  Vex stuck his finger against his chest, his mouth tilted sideways as he shouted "I am Vex, Aurelis' friend!"

  Ignis stepped towards Vex, the floor squeaking in response "Ho? Are you now? Just like them twins?"

  He raised his arm up, finger scratching the scar on his eye "It's truly been a while since I fought one of his friends."

  He sighed, smoke emanating from his mouth.

  Vex bumped his fists, his knuckles clicking together.

  A small smirk formed on Vex's mouth "Come at me!"

  Ignis' feet engulfed in flames, leaving marks on the floor.

  Red halos swirled around his arm, his palm aimed towards Vex.

  A burning tornado swirled from his palm, directly towards Vex.

  Vex leaped sideways, Ignis' hand grazing his cheek.

  A thin red cut opened on Vex's cheek, blood trickling down.

  Vex stumbled back, smashing his feet into the ground.

  He turned his head around, moving against the flow of air in the church.

  Ignis' palm pressed back at Vex, heat emitting out of it.

  Vex's eyes widened, he stretched his back against Ignis' palm, his feet pressed firmly against the ground.

  Ignis' fist shot above Vex, smashing into a pillar.

  Rubbles fell on the ground, people around the church got up in terror, rushing towards the exits.

  A human with short dark green hair stood abruptly, walking towards Ignis.

  He raised his fists, brass knuckles glinting.

  Etched deeply into the pinky metal, was a single fingerprint.

  He lifted his head up, his brown eyes burrowing into Ignis' back "Hey Idiot, can't you take this outsi-"

  Ignis held his leg up, spinning himself in the air.

  His foot swirled with flames, slamming against the human's neck.

  The human flew into a wall, his whole neck swollen with burns.

  He fell on the ground, a thump following his connection with the floor.

  His finger grazed the concrete, barely pushing himself up.

  He coughed blood "What in the-"

  A burst of flame erupted from Ignis' palm, a tornado of flames covering the stranger.

  The human laid down on the ground, his body burnt in the color of coal, motionless.

  Kazari stretched his hands upwards yawning "Ignis, right?"

  Ignis' head snapped towards Kazari.

  Kazari lifted both his hands, waving them around "Ah, you're not the gang I'm after right now, just take this outside."

  Ignis clenched his fists, his pupils shrunk as they gazed Kazari's cyclamen flower emblem "Sure."

  A shockwave rippled through the air, Vex flew towards Ignis with his hands pulled back.

  He cocked his hands forwards, gritting his teeth "Don't you dare ignore me."

  His fists connected against Ignis' back, smashing him against the church's entrance.

  Vex landed on his hands, pushing himself upwards.

  He kicked a stone rubble as he landed, rushing towards Ignis.

  Ignis bit his lips, turning around with his hand raised.

  Yellow halos twisted around Vex's right hand "I feel an odd sense of humidity, might have to add it to the equation."

  Ignis burst forward, his fist drawn back.

  Vex struck forward, clashing his hand against Ignis'

  Their hands flew against each other, their bare fists connect in a shockwave that rattled the roof of the entrance.

  Ignis' elbow burst in flames, pushing it against Vex's hand.

  Vex smirked "200 Habltons."

  A gust of wind brushed Vex's hand, followed by a sickening snap of a bone.

  Ignis' fingers bent backwards, his eyes widened.

  He leaped back, his hand going limp.

  Vex clicked his tongue "Only a broken hand..? Must be the new hand."

  Masque appeared beside Ignis, leaning towards his ear "Hey, did you know the blood flow in your hand stopped?"

  Ignis raised his other hand, a burst of flames shooting towards Masque.

  Masque pulled out a whip from her pocket, the whip's body snapping against Ignis' hand.

  Ignis raised his other hand against his body's will, blood exploding out of his fingers.

  He placed his palm against Masque, halos swirling between both hands, a second burst of flames shooting forward.

  Masque giggled, the air around the church thickening.

  She raised her hands, her whip grazing the floor "Let the circus begin!"

  The church faded into the air, the floor covered in planks with masks of various emotions painted on them.

  The roof swirled around, a spiral of red and orange reaching a black point at the top.

  Aurelis got on his feet "Unreal."

  Ignis stumbled back, his flames abruptly stopping.

  He shook his head, biting his lips as blood trickled down his hands.

  Masque raised her finger "First rule! You must stand still."

  Kazari leaped up, sighing "Here we go again."

  He moved around the stadium, his eyes wandering around the floor.

  Ignis momentarily stopped "What are you even blabbing about you damn clown?!"

  He clutched his chest, gasping.

  His eyes wavered as a sharp pain stuck up his chest.

  He coughed blood on the ground, faltering back "What even is this?!"

  Masque clapped, stretching back "You really followed!"

  She raised her hands, wiping off a fake tear "Second rule, do not look at me!"

  Aurelis moved forward, his gaze piercing Masque "This habel.."

  Ignis averted his eyes from Masque, crawling back.

  An ominous sound tore through Ignis.

  He fell on the floor, a sharp pain slicing his heart.

  He stumbled back, blood getting stuck in his lungs.

  His eyes widened, the red pupils darkening.

  He closed his mouth shut, kicking himself up.

  Vex walked towards Aurelis, his eyes drifting on Masque.

  Masque tilted her head towards Vex "Ah, its you! Remember the second rule?"

  Vex scratched his cheek "What? Oh, I wasn't really paying attention."

  Masque slammed her foot on the ground, her eyebrows furrowed "Third rule! Approach your friends!"

  Vex stopped walking, his face fully turned towards Masque "What's with those rules anywa-"

  Vex's ears twitched, his chest tightened.

  He fell on the ground, hand pressed tight around his waist.

  Vex coughed, blood spilling out, his eyes averting from Masque.

  Another sharp pain stung his heart.

  Vex fell down, head rested against the ground.

  Aurelis raised his eyebrows, biting his lips.

  He reached his hand out for a moment, dropping his hand immediately after.

  Masque laughed, covering her forehead with her hand "Yes! That's more like it!"

  Kazari sighed, stepping back from Masque "Please tone down the violence, Masque."

  Ignis' legs swirled in flames, launching himself towards Masque.

  Masque gasped, pulling out her whip.

  The whip's body coiled in the air, the tip waving towards ignis.

  Ignis twisted his body, his feet striking behind the whip.

  Masque stepped back, her breath hitching.

  She opened her mouth, a drop of sweat falling from her cheek "Fourth rule, use your habel!"

  Ignis' flames stopped, his body faltered downwards.

  A sharp iron pin formed out of thin air, stabbing Ignis in one of the legs.

  He fell to the ground, the pin vanishing into thin air after a moment.

  He coughed up blood, punching the ground "I am not dying to a damn clown!"

  His eyes swirled in dark red, shadows engulfing in his eyes.

  He struck the wooden floor, smashing it with his hand "I'm not.."

  He hit the floor with his head "Losing!"

  Flames erupted from his body, piercing the roof of the stadium.

  Masque pulled out her tongue "That's a shame! Fifth ru-"

  The wind blew against Masque.

  She bent down, her hands pressing against her stomach.

  The church went back into view, engulfed in flames.

  Ignis' flames grew wilder, his head staggered in the air as he screamed.

  Masque placed a hand on the floor, gasping for air.

  Aurelis stepped forward, his eyes widened "It's like last time.."

  Ignis' legs formed an explosion, sending Ignis directly into one of the church's walls.

  He pulled his hand back, crashing it against the church's wall.

  His hands wavered in the air, a deafening screech erupting from his mouth.

  One of his hands erupted in another explosion, opening a gaping hole in the wall.

  His body emitted explosions endlessly, his bones vibrating as he flew directly into various different buildings pillars.

  Kazari raised his hand, shadows stretching away from his body.

  Ignis' body kept moving around uncontrollably, flying towards houses outside the church.

  He opened his eyes wide, kicking his feet on a wall.

  His legs exploded, sending him away from the church's view.

  Kazari's shadows stretched back, his hand fell down towards his face as he yawned.

  Ignis' body slowly faded in the distance, small explosions appearing as he flew.

  Masque coughed, pushing herself up.

  She clasped her hands, a cheeky smirk on her face "That was.. fun!"

  Aurelis stepped forward, his hand reaching out towards Ignis, his eyes half closed "This... bastard."
