Blazren stepped forward and faced Zain directly.
"I'll make it simple," he said, arms crossed. "I want a duel."
Zain raised an eyebrow. "A duel?"
Blazren nodded.
"You want territory? You want to be seen as something more than a rogue force?"
"Then prove it. Not with talk. With strength."
Zain tilted his head slightly, his red eyes watching Blazren closely.
"Interesting. And how do you want to handle this duel?"
Blazren cracked his knuckles.
"Two rounds. One on one. First round: Neuro versus Velvet Demon. Second round: You and Me."
Zain looked to the side, then back at Blazren.
"A tag match, but not at the same time. Fine. Sounds clean. But why those pairings?"
Blazren gave a slight grin. "You're the leader. I want to see your strength myself. And Neuro—"
He turned to his comrade. "You wanted another shot at her, didn't you?"
Neuro stood silent for a second, then nodded. "Correct. Last time I lost."
