A wide swing towards the swordsman's face. He pulled back. The fist going wide as Zach backpelted himself. Ah the joy of this. His blood was boiling. The smile upon his face was that of pure delight. Anon was solely focused on this fight. may have been hidden until now. Anon himself didn’t know. Everything else died around him. Maybe this was his blood or perhaps this has always been the case for him. This nature

He had not even noticed the bleed of his own blood from the small wounds on his body from barely avoiding Zach strikes. Zach rushed him again unleashing another thrust towards his legs. A low blow, he was trying to make it harder to dodge. Anon smirked...he was getting to the timing of these thrusts.

The thrust looked like it caught Anon at first. Then that image faded as Anon spun in place dropping an Ax kick into the side of Zach. He was able to block it with his arm but, he went skidding across the ground. Now things were starting to get interesting! He knew that it was almost time for both of them to get serious.

Yet, those thoughts were killed by something. “You can do it Anon! I believe in you.” Twilight shouted from the side lines. Anon flashed back to all. All him and her had done up until this point. It killed any joy he had for the battle. This fight...this wasn’t about him. This wasn’t the time to give into desire….

He needed to focus on winning. A no holds match? He wasn’t sure if he could actually beat Zach. It was iffy at best. He had to make his chance better. He smirked again. He was good at running his mouth when he needed to. Anon began to circle the edge of the ring getting to the point where he was facing right in front of the swordsman.

“You know I really feel sorry for you. Having to work for such INCOMPETENT general all time can’t be easy.” He stated aloud for the whole crowd to hear.

Zach righted himself. Whipping the blood from his lip. Magical energy surged from his whole form. Yellow lightning sparking even harder from his form as stared down Anon with fury now holding his once calm eyes. “What did you say?” He asked.

“Ooo I am sorry….that was a slip of the tongue I guess.” Anon stated, smiling wide for his opponent.

“What is he doing? Why would he say that!?” Twilight said, pulling down on the edges of her hat.

“He’s winning the match.” Phantom replied.

Zach blasted off the ground. He was even faster now. Anon knew he was holding back. He even doubted this was his top speed. Another thrust….this was perfect. Anon grit his teeth. He moved only a few inches out of the way, the blade cutting open his side. The electric surging through the blade impacted his body. He was used to pain now though.
Both hands moved in unity. Gripping onto Zach's outstretched arm. Another surge of electric blast through his system. He bared the pain as he slung him forward over his shoulder. The throw was performed as a counter to his thrust. Zach was caught off guard by this. He wasn’t used to fighting under the rules of a ring. Neither was Anon but, Anon goal for battle had shifted from defeating Zach….to winning the match.

“Apex Predator Passive ability Activated:

Resistance acquired:
Resistance to Electric Skill Acquired.”

His system menu announced this to him. He let out a heavy breath holding his side as blood dripped onto the snow. He fell to his knees. Zach found himself wide eyed recovering from the snow. His eyes instantly looking up towards Anon. Anon just smirked at him. Zack balled up fist hitting it into the dirt.

“THE MATCH IS OVER. ANON HAS RINGED OUT HIS OPPONENT. THE GODS SMILE UPON HIM. YAKS MUST HONOR THIS!” She smashes her cane against the ground looking over towards King Kole. Who nodded in returned.

The others of Zach's troop walked up to him. He raised hand to stop them from speaking. “...We will honor the agreement. I lost.” He spoke aloud.

“BUT, SIR!” Ira spoke out.

Zach shot him glare. “We are leaving.” He stated firmly. He then looked towards the King. “You do know this means...war.”

The Yak King huffed out of his nostrils. “You tell your general. YAKS ALWAYS READY TO FIGHT.” He stated, beating on his chest with his hand. “Take these strangers out of the city.” He commanded the other yaks. They began to move Zach and other lietuants towards the main gate.

Zach shot Anon a look. “This isn’t over. Your end will be by my sword.”

Anon just blew him a kiss as the flames of the circle began to die out. Twilight rushed up to him full force tackling him into a hug. “YOU DID IT.” She shouted.

“OW. OW. OW….Please not so hard.” He pleaded with her with a cough.

“Ooo right sorry.” She let go of him.

“I thought for sure you were gonna go for a full battle with him…..Good job.” Phantom said walking up.
The King of Yaks loomed over Anon now with his guards beside him. “You gave up personal glory for friends….is no small feat for a little thing. You have my respect.” He said beating his chest again at Anon.

“We have not the time to celebrate. Death knocks at our door and we must be prepared to answer it.” Starswirl spoke up looking towards the king and the others.

“Phantom and Anon. You must stay and help the Yaks prepare for War. While I and Twilight will go for aid. You must hold the lines until we return. I have allies I can call upon.” He spoke aloud.

King Kole turned towards the Yaks around him. “YAKS PREPARE FOR WAR!!” Shouted so loud that all of the city heard him the yaks instantly went to work all men and women who were warriors began to set up defenses and ready themselves.

“.....I could be of more use here Master. They need me!” Twilight Pleaded with Starswirl.

“Twilight. We have spoken about this before. You must be kept out of danger. If you are captured all is lost. You’re the final piece Lilith needs to open the door to the center of the planet….all magic as we know it would be lost. The planet itself could die.” Starswirl answered her back.

Twilight turned towards Anon looking into his eyes.
