The crystal displays flickered above the arena. The crowd was still buzzing from Greer's stand, from the blink Victor had been forced to reveal, from the image of the B-rank Warrior swinging until his body gave out. The healers had carried him off on a stretcher, and the applause had followed him into the tunnel.
Now the next match appeared. Baines versus Lysandra Li.
The rematch. This was the fight they'd been waiting for since the bracket was announced. The berserker and the shy girl. Two fighters who didn't know how to quit.
Dorian Hale's voice cut through the noise. "Ladies and gentlemen, this is the one. Baines, A-rank Berserker, versus Lysandra Li, A-rank Warrior. They've faced each other twice in this tournament. She won both times. But Baines has been saving something. We all know it. The question is whether she can survive it."
