Two figures stepped onto God's Private Studio, taking up position on the opposite sides of the room.

One was a cocky young man with red hair tied in a ponytail and a metal rod in his left hand. He wore a nice suit, although it seemed extremely out of place on him.

The other was a cloaked figure dressed in a mask and strange brown armor. He stood perfectly still with his arms crossed, and stared down his foe.

"The next battle is between Grahf and Reno! BEGIN!"

Reno raised his rod and charged forward, moving towards the orb.

Grahf stood stock-still, not moving an inch.

Finally, Reno reached the orb and placed his hand on it. Extending his rod, a green gem sparkled as it shot a burst of electricity out at Grahf.

Grahf seemed to blur, and in the next instant he was standing in another space just to the left of where he originally was. He hadn't changed posture in the slightest, and it was almost as if he hadn't moved at all.

Reno fired several more bolts of lightning, but again and again Grahf dodged out of the way, making no overt movements but avoiding all of them easily.

Finally, Reno grew irritated.

"THUNDAGA!" he yelled, unleashing a torrent of lightning at Grahf.

Grahf raised his arm as the lightning slammed into him. He stood stock still for a moment, before his body blurred.

In the next instant, Grahf's fist collided with Reno's face. Reno was blasted backwards, sliding along the ground like a rag doll.

Grahf extended both arms, energy gathering within them. Moving in a blur, he surged forward and leapt into the air, raining the energy down upon Reno before flipping backwards and moving back to the orb, placing his hand upon it.

Reno lay upon the ground groaning in pain, his tongue lolling comically out of his mouth.
