Back in the kingpins office it ,was filled with cracks and small craters as the battle waged on , the air was thick with anticipation and adrenaline. Pacey stood at the edge, his heart racing as he witnessed an unexpected revelation. Sigma, had finally unveiled herself, leaving Pacey in complete astonishment.

The commencement of the battle between Sigma and the two junior fighters, Belial and Xin, left Pacey with a racing mind, a blend of worry and nervousness. He acknowledged that despite their unassuming appearance, Belial and Xin's impressive agility and range might hold the key to their advantage in this confrontation.

Pacey's fists tightened as he grappled with conflicting emotions - the desire to rush in and support his friends in the battle clashed with the responsibility to protect Jia at his side.

Amidst the echoing clash of swords and crackling energy, Pacey's anxiety surged. He desperately sought a solution to aid his friends without compromising the safety of Jia, whose presence weighed heavily on his mind.

Suddenly, a thunderous sound reverberated through the chamber, accompanied by a cloud of dust. It was Belial, catapulting back into the fray after a brief retreat. Pacey's eyes widened as he witnessed the sheer determination in Belial's eyes.

Pacey's mind whirled as he assessed the situation. He couldn't just stand idly by any longer. Clenching his teeth, he turned to Jia and spoke with a sense of urgency in his voice. "Jia, I need you to trust me. I'm going to find a way to help them, but I need you to stay hidden and safe"

A moment of uncertainty flickered across Jia's eyes, reflecting a mix of concern and determination. But she nodded, placing her faith in Pacey's decision. "Be careful," she whispered softly.

Slowly, he lifted his hand, feeling the power of the winds respond to his call. The soft currents gathered around him, and with a steady gaze, he directed them towards Jia, who was watching the battle with unwavering focus.

The winds swirled around Jia, lifting her slightly off the ground. Pacey's heart clenched as he knew he had to ensure her safety while simultaneously keeping his attention on the intense combat before him. His eyes darted between his companions and Jia, making split-second decisions to maintain a delicate balance.

With a deep breath, Pacey acted swiftly, using his other hand to shatter a nearby window. The room seemed to come alive with the glimmering shards of glass, mirroring the intense energy that filled the air. Through the opening, he gently guided Jia to safety, manipulating the winds with finesse to ensure her descent was as graceful as a dancer's.

As he watched her feet touch the ground, a sense of relief washed over him, but there was no time for celebration. The battle still raged, and Pacey couldn't allow himself to be distracted for long. He turned his gaze back to Belial and Xin, his heart swelling with pride and admiration for their unwavering grit.

Pacey, with the winds at his command, watched the skirmish carefully. He knew he had to time his intervention perfectly, supporting his juniors without disrupting their flow. As Belial and Xin coordinated their attacks, Pacey saw his chance. He took a deep breath, focusing his power on creating a swift and powerful gust of wind to aid their assault.

"Belial! Jump!" Pacey yelled at belial

Belial looked back at Pacey and with a burst of wind, Pacey chucked Belial forward, closing the distance between him and Sigma in an instant. The sudden acceleration caught Sigma off guard, and she staggered slightly, giving Belial a split-second advantage. He seized the opportunity, delivering a swift and precise strike to Sigma's side.

Sigma roared in pain and anger, but her response was swift. She swung her massive arm in a sweeping arc, forcing Belial to leap back to avoid being caught in the deadly trajectory.

"Geez what did your parents feed you?"

Belial said sarcastically

Xin, ever watchful and in tune with his teammates, used his sound abilities to create a sonic barrier, shielding them from Sigma's counterattack.

Pacey continued to manipulate the winds, creating a turbulent current that obscured their movements, making it harder for Sigma to anticipate their attacks. As the gusts swirled around them, Belial and Xin's actions intertwined, forming a swift blur as their strikes and agile dodges merged with the forces of sound and wind.

Sigma's eyes narrowed in determination as she adapted to their tactics. She unleashed a powerful shockwave, sending a ripple of force through the room. Belial and Xin braced themselves, but Pacey reacted quickly, countering the shockwave with a wave of his own wind abilities. The two opposing forces clashed, causing a chaotic dance of energies that reverberated through the room.

As the battle intensified, Pacey knew that their combined strength and unity were their greatest assets. They fought as one, each member of the trio supporting the others with unwavering trust. Xin used his sound abilities to disorient Sigma, momentarily disrupting her focus, while Belial darted in and out, finding gaps in her defenses.

With another surge of wind, Pacey launched Belial high into the air, granting him a vantage point from which he could strike with even greater force. Belial descended like a whirlwind, his knife glinting with determination. He aimed for Sigma's exposed back, hoping to find a weak point in her formidable armor.

But Sigma, proving her prowess, spun around at the last moment, intercepting Belial's attack with her arm. The impact sent shockwaves through the room, causing debris to fly in all directions. Belial grunted under the force of the blow, but he refused to relent.

Xin, seizing the opportunity, unleashed a powerful sonic barrage, aiming to disorient Sigma further. The combination of wind and sound assaulted Sigma from multiple angles, testing her limits. But she stood her ground, her towering form exuding an aura of indomitable strength.

Pacey's eyes narrowed with determination. He couldn't let their efforts go to waste. Gathering his power, he focused on one last powerful gust of wind. This time, the wind roared like a hurricane, swirling with a ferocity that matched Sigma's own power.

As Belial and Xin continued to engage Sigma, Pacey unleashed the full force of his wind abilities. The tempest surrounded Sigma, enveloping her in a torrential vortex. Caught off guard, Sigma struggled to maintain her footing, her massive form being pushed back by the relentless wind.

(Soft scene break)

Belial's body ached from the strain of overusing his powerful ability,

"Shadow Trigger," With each passing moment, it became harder to stay upright, and he finally dropped to one knee, his body wracked with pain and his breaths ragged.

"Not now..not yet.." Belial whispered to himself, his determination refusing to let him yield.

As the trio prepared to face Sigma again, Xin couldn't help but worry about Belial. "Are you sure you're okay?" he asked, concern evident in his voice.

Belial offered a reassuring grin. "Just a bit winded, but nothing I can't handle. Let's give it our all, guys!"

Sigma, seeing Belial's momentary weakness, couldn't resist taunting him. She wiped the dirt off her face, a wicked smile stretching across her features. Extending her metallic arms, blades emerged from them, reflecting the dim light in a menacing glint.

"Of course she has something else up her sleeve," Belial sighed, knowing that Sigma was far from finished.

As he was about to engage in battle again, Sigma's taunt cut through the air. "What's wrong? Tired already?" she smirked, relishing in his moment of vulnerability.

Belial's eyes narrowed, and he slapped his face with both hands, shaking his head to clear his mind. He wouldn't let fatigue or pain hinder him. With a fierce determination burning in his eyes, he rose back to his feet.

"Tired? Please, I'm just getting warmed up!" Belial retorted, his voice infused with a playful defiance.

Sigma's smirk faltered for a moment, but she quickly regained her composure. "Big talk from someone so small," she replied, trying to goad him further.

Belial chuckled, refusing to let Sigma's words get to him. "Ah, but you know what they say: big things come in small packages!"

With a renewed sense of resolve, Belial lunged forward, his small knife gleaming with a determined light. He moved with surprising speed, aiming for Sigma's legs and evading her deadly strikes with agile grace.

Sigma's metallic arms sliced through the air with a fierce precision, but Belial's nimbleness and witty banter seemed to be getting to her. He had learned to use humor as a weapon, a way to distract and taunt his opponents.

"Hey, Sigma! Did you forget to stretch before this fight? You seem a bit stiff!"

He teased, feinting a strike before gracefully evading another of her attacks.

Sigma's smirk remained, but Belial could sense a hint of annoyance in her demeanor. He saw an opportunity to play on her size once again. "You know," he said, stepping back and gesturing toward Sigma's towering form,

"I've seen smaller mountains."

Sigma's eyes narrowed with a mix of irritation and amusement.

"Is that supposed to be an insult?"

"Of course not!" Belial chuckled, dodging one of Sigma's attacks.

"I just thought maybe you'd feel at home if I treated you like a landmark!"

Xin stifled a laugh at Belial's remark, trying to remain focused on the battle. He admired his friend's ability to find humor even in the direst situations.

The battle intensified once more, with Belial and Xin coordinating their attacks to create openings in Sigma's defenses. Pacey's winds swirled around them, providing support and ensuring their strikes hit with even greater force.

As the fight continued, Belial's jokes targeted Sigma's size more than ever.

"You must have a great view from up there!" He shouted, feinting an attack to keep her off balance.

"Too bad it's about to get a lot more turbulent!"

Belial darted in and out, using his agility to evade Sigma's strikes and counter with swift knife thrusts. Xin's sound abilities reverberated through the room, causing dissonance that momentarily disrupted Sigma's focus. Pacey's winds were a constant force, amplifying their movements and bolstering their attacks.

Sigma proved to be a formidable opponent, her size granting her immense strength and resilience. But the trio refused to back down, their determination unwavering.

Belial saw an opportunity and signaled to Xin, who nodded in understanding. As Sigma prepared to strike, Xin unleashed a powerful soundwave, disorienting her for a split second. Seizing the opening, Belial dashed forward, his knife gleaming like a star in the darkness.

But Sigma was quick to recover, and with a swift motion, she blocked Belial's strike with her metallic arm. The force of the impact sent Belial staggering back, and he winced in pain as his injured body protested.

Without a second's hesitation, Sigma saw her chance and seized Belial's arm, locking him in her iron grip.

"Now I've finally got you, pest,"

Sigma sneered, her metallic blades gleaming dangerously.

Xin, determined to help his friend, prepared to use his sound abilities against Sigma. But before he could strike, Sigma cunningly used Belial as a meat shield, stopping Xin in his tracks.

Belial struggled in Sigma's grasp, desperately trying to break free. He attempted to summon one of his shadow lances, but his energy was depleted from the earlier exertion, leaving him powerless.

Sigma's grin widened, relishing her apparent victory. She raised her fist, her blades poised to deliver a fatal blow.

"Now I finally end this scuffle. It was fun playing with you," she taunted, ready to strike the final blow.

Just as Sigma was about to thrust the blades into Belial, a sudden body of water cascaded over her arm, rendering her motionless. Everyone gasped in surprise, even Belial, who couldn't believe what he was witnessing.

"What...?" Sigma stammered, caught off guard by the sudden interference.

A figure emerged from the top of the manhole on the roof of the building, and their presence commanded attention. It was a person who had a calming aura about them, their eyes exuding a sense of familiarity.

"Did you guys get into trouble again?" The figure said with a chuckle, looking down at the scene below.

Xin's eyes widened in recognition.

"It's you," he said softly, a mixture of relief and surprise in his voice.

The figure nodded, their gaze steady.

"It seems you could use a hand," they said calmly, their voice reassuring.
