Kiora was still fast asleep in their bed, not yet waking. She had been exhausted last night, and now she was stuck in a sweet dream about their wedding, about what it would be like from now on.

Man of the Shadows
Mark was now dressed in a pair of black jeans, a white t-shirt and a black variant of his trademark green hoodie (although the hood was still white) when he looked over at Kiora, letting a small smile play upon his lips when he saw how peacefully his fiancée was sleeping. Leaning over and giving her forehead a light kiss, he went over to the door of his room, opening it and closing it quietly as he left.

"I would have expected that you'd spend more time with Kiora, considering that you've presumably proposed to her."
"Yeah, I have," Mark said in response to his mech while he jogged along the rooftop of a building before making a short jump onto another. "But I can't let Crookes get in the way of us again precisely because of that. He's still out there, and he's not going to leave until I beat him into submission again." His movement was undisturbed for the time being as he leaped over to another building. But while he was in the process of doing so, another mech suddenly appeared on the rooftop across from him before jumping into the air, lifting an arm and clotheslining him while he was on his path. Letting out a grunt from the abrupt contact, he spun backwards once in the air before yelling in pain when he hit the rooftop face-first. Groaning and propping himself up on a fist before standing back up, he heard a thud behind him and turned to see who the other mech was.
To his surprise, it was a very certain defensive mech that he hadn't seen around for a while.
"Fight me," Shirley demanded plainly, adopting a fighting stance in front of Hunter.

Kiora was sound asleep, for a while. But after missing his warmth for a while, she woke up, rubbing her eyes.

"Shirley, what are you-"
"How could you do this to me, Mark? We were friends, the best of friends!" Shirley charged forward and threw a punch that Mark attempted to block, pushing his hands back into his chest and sending him flying backwards before rolling onto his feet again. He winced in pain, feeling a significant impact from the blow.
"We were partners that told each other everything. But now you go and propose to this girl without even telling me about it first!?"
"What made you think that you had a right to know!?" Mark shouted angrily, lifting his hands back up to block a kick sent his way before a flurry of attacks and blocks from both sides followed during the ensuing argument. "You're the one who abandoned me, Shirley! Have you lost your damn mind? None of this is my fault! It's all on you!" Mark threw another punch only to have Shirley grab his fist, who then screamed and launched her fist straight into Hunter's headpiece, the blow sending him back again and nearly knocking him out cold if he hadn't moved his head away from the front of the helmet.

Kiora waited around for a while, before she started to get worried. She had took a shower, and tried to cook, but she was really worried for Mark. She went down to the garage to check for Hunter.

Mark's head first snapped to the right, and then to the left as Shirley threw hooks to either side of his headpiece, before landing a kick than sent him rolling backwards again towards the edge of the roof, just barely managing to grab onto it. Before his former partner could kick him off, he planted the edges of his armor-clad feet against the building before propelling off of it, turning away from it and facing the shorter building behind him. Landing on the rooftop with his feet before rolling forwards and standing back up, he turned back towards the other building to see that Shirley had already given chase, boosting backwards to narrowly avoid a blow sent his way before charging back in with a yell.

Kiora ran down to the garage, only to notice hunter gone. She cursed, glaring at the empty spot. "Mark." She hissed to herself, before firing up Hollow. "Testing still needed, driving is not advised." She warned. "Just shut up and open!" She screamed, her face full of furry at him as the mech opened and she climbed inside, closing the front.

Mark managed to block an incoming swing to the left side of his face from Shirley, but lurched forward when he felt a jab connect with his stomach. She grabbed behind his head and slammed her knee into the same place before throwing him aside, standing and watching as he groaned and propped himself on his right side in an attempt to get up. However, Shirley then proceeded to make another move, walking up to Mark and landing a kick to his chest so that he'd be sent on his back again. "You deserve every bit of what you're getting right now," she hissed angrily.
"Shirley..." Mark gasped, turning onto his left side. "We don't have to do this. We don't have to fight like this." Shirley decided to stop moving then, listening to what he had to say.

Kiora was beyond furious as she zoomed though the streets, rocking cars in her wake as she passed.

"What was the point of us ever having a friendship..." Mark said as he stood back up, "if we're just going to tear it down like this?" Shirley stood silently for a moment before speaking up.
"Was that really all I ever was to you...?" Shirley asked with hurt in her voice before it escalated with the next two words she spoke. "A friend!?" Dashing forward, she landed a kick to Mark's torso and sent him towards the edge of the roof. "Lift!" he managed to utter, and the thruster on Hunter's back activated before he could fall off, halting his movement and slowly positioning him upright on the building again before he dodged a strike from Shirley. Mark was about to charge forward, when she abruptly turned and launched a smoke grenade at him, causing him to stumble back as he was blinded before he was knocked aside by a blow to the right side of his face.

Kiora saw smoke and she cursed, hearing the clang of metal, and the sound of shouting. One of them was a mech. She looked up and shot up to the top of the building. "Enough Shirley, it's over." She said, standing in front of Mark.

"Is it really?" Shirley asked, before pressing a button on the helmet of her mech and activating her voice filter, a symbolic way of showing that she was no longer the person she once was. At least, that was what she believed in her mind.
"It'll only be over once you're out of the picture."
"It'll only be over once you're out of the picture."

Kiora narrowed her eyes, groaning. "Great, thanks. All I needed was another competitor." She said to him. "Look, it's not my fault that you left him for years and broke him. Well I loved him, even when he was broken. And he also knows that I am not going to leave him, which is something that I am sure he can't seem to do with you." She said to her. "But no matter how hard you try, I am not going to let you take my fiancé."

Man of the Shadows
Mark allowed himself to chuckle dryly at Kiora's remark before getting back up on his feet. "Not my fault that she decided to attack me," he muttered. Then once Kiora was finished addressing her, Shirley let out a low growl that came out as a threatening purring noise of sorts due to the filter of her mech. Lifting up her arm, she activated the grenade launcher in the Bulldog's wrist, firing a grenade at Hollow's headpiece that was meant to act as a flashbang before dashing forwards and jumping in the air, kicking Mark backwards before boosting away. She knew that it wouldn't take long for the Queen to make her move.

Kiora growled, easily dodging her grenade. "Catch me if you can." She said, pulling out her sword and slashing at her arm as she passed her to attack Mark.

Another snarl emitted from the Bulldog's filter as the mech boosted away from Kiora, a narrow cut now etched into its armor as well the skin of Shirley's right arm. Opening up her mech's wrist compartment again, she fired something into the air over Kiora's head before dashing forward. Bending low and extending her leg while she spun in an attempted sweep kick, Shirley's intention was to have her opponent boost away from her and into the EMP mine she'd fired behind Kiora a moment ago.

The Clawed Fauni
Kiora could see the thing in the air, and instead of jumping, she boosted forwards, and away from the mine. She smiled and took out her sword and sliced the mine, causing it to explode

"Impressive," Shirley noted through her filter. "I can see why you've topped the charts in this sport. I've only ever mentioned you to Mark once before, but he never cared... not till he really met you." With a shout, she boosted forwards and jumped over Kiora, aiming a side kick to the back of her head as she landed.

Kiora smirked. "Well then, I guess he believed I was another show off with a big mouth." She said, ducking under her kick and boosting forwards with her sword extended towards her gut.

Shirley barely managed to sidestep the attack before pivoting on her side and throwing her elbow towards Kiora's chest. "Yes. That was what he thought. But it seems like he's found something in you that he never saw in me."

The Clawed Fauni
Kiora ducked her elbow and pushed her sword towards the metal skin of her mechs arm. "Yeah, well then, you have to face the facts! I have been dumped before, but after, you move on!" She shouted.

Man of the Shadows
Shirley yelled in pain as she felt Kiora's blade sink into her arm, snarling as she pulled it out and tugged the sword towards her to land a blow with her fist to Kiora's stomach. "Do you really believe that moving on is that easy when you've become attached to someone you've known for years!? What if someone took Mark away from you, huh? What then!? Would you really be able 'move on'?"
IceQueen
The Clawed Fauni
Kiora let out a huff of air as her fist collided with her stomach. She took a few breaths, turning towards her. "No, but that's different! If you are broken, then there is someone who will be able to fix you!" She yelled, taking out her second sword and aiming another jab at her stomach.

Shirley moved her right foot behind her and used the sword she'd taken from Kiora to lodge her opponent's second blade into the ground, following up with a roundhouse kick aimed at her torso.

Kiora ducked and pushed her foot up at her stomach as she moved towards the sword.
