The doors opened once again, admitting two more figures onto the field.

One was dressed in a red overcoat and carried a massive sword slung over his shoulder. His hands were gloved and his black hair was touched with gray. At his side was belted a large bottle of sake, and he wore black underneath the coat.

The other was a brown-haired man dressed in a black, fur-trimmed leather jacket and a white tank top. He wore black pants and several belts, and carried a blade with a pistol mounted on the end.

"The next fight is between Auron and Squall! BEGIN!"

Auron grasped his sword in both hands and held it low, swinging it horizontally at Squall with a wide, sweeping arc.

Squall dodged easily, stepping backwards and out of the range of Auron's sword. Again, Auron slashed at Squall, this time in a diagonal arc, but the blade was too slow and cumbersome to hit.

Squall dodged stroke after stroke, allowing Auron to become tired. When he sensed that Auron's limbs were significantly weakened from the exertion, he dodged a horizontal slash and dashed in, stabbing Auron in the chest and pulling the trigger on his gunblade. Auron gasped in pain and fell backward, his body disintegrating into a mass of pyreflies.
