Outside of the coliseum..

Julie: Come on guys, the fight has already started.

Max: I know, I know, no need to rush things.

Hansel: And besides, those guys will do their best to win.

Gretel: I agree.

Julie: Yeah... I know so too..

***

The two guild masters gave everything their all. The barrier surrounding the arena is almost at its limit.

Juniper throws heavy punches at Zero, and Zero is deflecting all of it.

Ace and the crowd are in awe, for this is the most fiercest battle they have watched so far.

Juniper finally land a hit on Zero's face, and Zero kicked Juniper at her head, which results to both of them being blown away.

Juniper: I'm not done yet.

Juniper immediately dashed towards Zero and used all of her power on her fist.

Zero stood up and hold out her hand.

Juniper punched Zero blowing her away that the barrier was shattered.

Juniper: I won...

Suddenly, Juniper feels weak.

She fell down on the ground breathing heavily.

Zero dropped back down to the arena and wiped the blood in her mouth.

Zero: Hollow Hand, my magic that can get through anything. I have no need for the likes of you anymore.

Zero grabbed Juniper's leg and throws her out of the arena.

Jack: Unbelievable!! After that fierce fight, Zero is the winner!!

Juniper is breathing heavily as she was taken to the infirmary.

Ace couldn't believe that she lost...

Meanwhile..

Zero is holding the Dragon's Heart.

Zero: I finally got what I want.

***

Julie and the others were also shocked to see that their master was defeated..

And now the score is 1-1.

Juniper was suddenly unconcious and was in a life support magic.

Ace was full of anger, for Zero humiliated Juniper in front of thousands of people.

Suddenly, a voice inside Ace's head told him something.

???: So what's it gonna be... You or me?

***

The last fight is about to start, between Ace and Cleo.

Cleo stands in the arena and was waiting for Ace to step forward.

Ace finally showed up and stepped up to the ring.

Cleo: It's finally time, for us to see who the strong one really is.

Ace was serious.

Ace: Yeah, and I'll defeat you myself by giving it my all.

3...
2..
1.

Start!

Ace sprint towards Cleo.

Cleo kept her guards up.

Ace strikes the first attack with a punch. Cleo's strong senses made her dodge the attack.

Cleo: Burst of the first head!!

Cleo burst out a powerful fire from her mouth. Incinerating the arena.

With luck, Ace dodged the attack.

Ace: I've heard that before...

Ace suddenly realised that the master of Gorgons' Eye also said that move.

Cleo: Now you know my true power.

Ace: By first head... she don't mean..?!

Cleo: I'm Cleo, the bearer of the First head of the Hydragon.

Ace: Looks like this isn't going to end that pretty.

***
Meanwhile...

Zero went to the Dark Dragon's death zone, and threw the heart at the bones of the dragon.

The bones absorbed the heart and slowly regaining its form.

Zero: Now, I've done my part of the bargain.
