The battle between Razzmatazz and Firestorm raged on with neither holding back as each strike left heavy damage; weeks of fighting Hidden Ace had made Razz an absolute monster as he shrugged off more strikes than Dawn, the golden warrior was dulling as she was being over powered.
Dawn threw up blood as the battle was taking a dangerous turn.
"If I keep this up I'll exceed the damage limit" Dawn barely avoided another strike as she tried to block with a fire barrier, but she was blasted away by a dark energy blast from Razz.
"You've never defeated me before, I'm not letting you now!" In a massive surge of power Razz was preparing to finish off Dawn.
"Remember Silent Viking's teachings" Dawn closed her eyes and began some deep breathing. Razz fired the blast setting off the arena in a massive dark explosion, a brief pause was interrupted by a shaking of the ground as Dawn's footsteps shaked the very arena to it's core, her eyes were bright white with blind fury.
Razz tried a punch but Dawn struck it with an overpowered fist which made Razz's hand explode, shattering his hand.
Dawn followed with a massive fire blast which engulfed Razz causing the entire VR to malfunction turning off the damage limiter.
Both Razz and Dawn screamed in rage as both combatants started tearing each other to pieces, the crowd were getting concerned as the match wasn't ending despite both players bleeding heavily from multiple traumas.
"I'm ending this!" Razz kicked Dawn into the wall and prepared one final punch to end the battle.
Dawn was scared, as she realised the battle wasn't ending, she could see Razz charging at her and closed her eyes.
"Don't hurt my mom!" The cry from Dawn's daughter from the crowd caused Razz to miss, in an action that felt like slow motion, Dawn returned a punch to Razz's face, breaking his nose instantly and knocking him out cold.
The VR finally stopped, Dawn had won but Razz wasn't getting up.
Dawn herself fell to her knees after coughing up tons of blood, her daughter hugged her in tears.
The aftermath saw the tournament suspended until Smash Zone could be repaired.
Dawn had several broken rips but Razz had a broken nose, a frontal skull fracture and a broken right hand, if not for his training he would've died.
With Razz defeated the fate of the tournament had been left in limbo especially as Popuri never got to fight Lisa.
A couple days later Dawn visited the hospital bed of the stricken Razz leaving some flowers.
"Nero, this is not a victory I can ever accept, if you get through this, let's have a rematch, just like in Romanum, my daughter even drew you a picture, just don't die on me" Dawn left, she still struggled with her injuries, her face couldn't hide her guilt.
Razz in a coma, didn't respond.
