Forcing herself to look away from the fight, Anise didn't realize what was happening until she heard Sync shouting. Her head shot up, and she saw the God-General, who she thought was done for just a moment ago, on his feet and delivering blow after devastating blow to Guy.

Anise dashed back to the edge of the seats, her hands gripping the railing once again. Her heart sank when she saw Guy fall to the floor, and a cold, dreadful feeling washed over her. It looked like his arm was broken... no, both of them were? She couldn't tell.

...He wasn't getting up.

Anise's heart started pounding hard. He managed to roll over, but he didn't move for the sword. He didn't climb up to his feet. Part of Anise knew it was because he couldn't, but another part of her wouldn't accept that. Guy couldn't be losing. He couldn't lose here!
