"Good question," the Aura Master stated as he rested his sword on his shoulder and smiled. "However, my friend, I cannot answer that question for you. You must answer that question for yourself. Use whatever you deem necessary, but do keep one thing in mind," the fencer stated as he held up one finger to Blaze. "Your fire isn't going to work more than once after I've seen an attack. My aura isn't about to be pushed around by flames. Perhaps it is time I show you what I mean."

The sound of Zorlo's sword sheathing echoed as the fencer knocked his gauntlets together and stood his ground bravely. A massive column of fire formed from Blaze's fingers and he swung the blade with a mass of power behind it, but the Aura Master didn't flinch. As the flames struck, the cushion of green flames rose up around the fencer and the pillar scattered around rapidly. The remains of the fire floated around as embers until it finally fizzled out, and the fencer looked at the Elemental again. Although the fire warrior seemed a bit surprised, he didn't stop as he began to gather up what seemed to be another ten times strength Ember.

The green haired man sighed as he balled up his left fist and began to channel aura into his fist. Quickly, a powerful surge of green flame covered the fencer's fist as he watched closely. The sudden movement of a wall of fire told the Aura Master another distraction was on its way. With his empty right hand, the green haired man swatted the fire wall away and fired off his, "Aura Blast!" technique towards the fire innate. The innate unleashed his 10X Ember, and the two forces clashed wildly, unleashing a blast of fire and aura scattering about.

Dust, ash and dirt finally settled as a crater stood between the two and Zorlo rested his right forearm upon the handle of his sword. The Aura Master looked at the fire Elemental, who seemed to be smiling, and the fencer smiled back as he drew Apollo again. "I think that makes your choice clear," the green haired man stated as he stepped forwards, readying to strike again. "My powers haven't quite broken thirty-five percent yet, so you're going to have to try much harder if you want to see my full power," the fencer stated as his aura danced violently around him.

"So, which will you do?!" Zorlo called over to the fire warrior, pointing the golden blade of his sword at Blaze, hoping to force the man to use something near his full power. Then, and only then, would the fencer finally have a worthy challenger, he thought. Still, the Aura Master didn't fret. Fire hadn't worked to harm him before, even without his armor, he wouldn't let it harm him now.
