Liu Mei stepped forward from the dissolving ripple of the void gate, her grin wide, eyes gleaming like a fox who had found a den of foolish chickens.
Her gaze locked onto the two combatants frozen in place: Betty, poised mid-breath, her hand still faintly aglow with heat and then there's Icehart, his sword arm taut, veins along his throat pulsing with restrained fury.
Behind Liu Mei, Yuu emerged with quiet poise. She walked forward at a measured pace, the spatial portal closing behind them like a curtain falling on the final act.
The moment hung thick with tension.
Betty's fingers twitched before she clenched her fists, whispering under her breath, "This is no time for infighting. That woman behind her is a space user…"
"I know that, you stupid woman," Icehart snapped through gritted teeth, his eyes locked on Yuu but his venom reserved for Betty.
His voice didn't rise, but the veins in his neck bulged with anger barely held in check. "Do you think I'm dumb?"
