CHAPTER FORTY-SIX OF DOOM
Mike and Alice stood completely parallel to Rune and Fred.

"Sure you know what you're doing?" Fred asked Rune.

"I never do," was Rune's response. He ran toward Mike while Fred ran toward Alice.

Mike vanished and struck Rune from behind. Rune tried to kick behind him but by that point Mike was already in front of him again. He hit Rune in the chest and watched him land on the ground with a thud.

Fred flashed a small grin toward Alice. "How 'bout we just leave this be and head away from here?"

"Flirting no work on me," Alice said. She made the air harden in front of her, then tossed a knife made of it at Fred. The knife exploded upon colliding with one of Ékri̱xi̱'s spheres.

"Come on, babe," he said, running the other way. "You don't have to go all must-kill about it."

She tossed another air knife at him. This one, he dodged.

"Ow!" Mike shouted. "Watch where you're throwing those things!"

Once again, Rune took advantage of Mike's distraction and hit him, but Mike caught his hand in an instant. "You think I would just keep falling for that trick?"

"No," Rune said with a grin. "But I did expect you to catch my hand. Specifically, the hand with Kaleséi. Snake!"

Snake emerged from the ring once more and slithered up Mike's arm. Mike screamed and fell back to the ground, where Rune stepped on him.

"I remembered what we learned before," Rune said. "That you found out he has a fear of snakes."

"Yes, so you decided a snake would be the best way to take advantage of a fear of snakes. How do you make such brilliant deductions?"

Mike regained his composure just in time for Alice to hit him with another air knife that missed Fred. Fred tossed another explosive sphere at Mike, who hit the ground himself.

"Two on one now," Rune said.

"Nah," Fred said. "One on zero. We're going back to the others." He gave one last look at Alice and winked. "Catch you later."

"But..." Rune began.

"Trust me," Fred said. "Unlike you, I know what I'm doin'."
