Deciem Requiem

Tai knew that if the two had any chance of striking some luck, they'd win this bout. But if the probabilities were in his favor, he would turn the tides of this battle to at least on an even playing field.

He just didn't expect all of this to happen...

He took notice the rain of darkness and the flickering blue flames of pain calling... But he was a man. Who didn't let it be the end of his character. So, with what he had left, he stood strong, summoned a whip of light with another press of the thumb into the zippo, and took defense against the bombardment.

Immediately, he was pierced by the rain of darkness and engulfed by the frost-bite feeling of the blue flames.

He thought to himself: 'What an honorable end...'

DP: 5 - 4 [Mordecai] - 2 [Mugen] = -1. Fatality.

"Kain!"

Mugen found himself littered with the remaining spikes that was able to connect against Tai. His defense was impeccable, even to, what seemed to be, the very end.

Arms dangling, muscles spazzing, Mugen could only retort in anger from it all: "Always the slithering type as usual..."

Then fell on one knee.
