With Robyn out of the way...

The two mages started at each other like duelists, each waiting for the opportune moment to strike.

Jessica summoned another fireball and hurled it at the hapless Madyson. This time, though, Madyson wasn't so hapless, conjuring a cone of ice that met the fireball halfway to her, both magics exploding in a blast of steam.

Still reading from her book, but without the usual indecision, Madyson settled on a lightning bolt spell. What she materialized was less than a bolt, but rather more than a spark, and she launched it at Jessica. Jessica turned somewhat, trying to run out of the way of the electrical charge coming her way, but she wasn't quick enough.

She made the mistake of turning to look back, that's when the bolt caught her. It hit her left glute, the sparks dancing on it for a moment and causing her to shriek with the sting. When the electricity dissipated, her half-charred pink bunny panties came apart and floated gently to the ground as three separate pieces.

"You did NOT just fry my favorite pair of panties!" Jessica shouted, clearly in denial. Meanwhile the announcer had taken to commenting on what she saw. "It seems she was hiding a very furry rabbit inside those pink bunny panties! Do pyromancers have to swear an oath against razors?"

"That's not funny!" Jessica whined, and she was right. The truth was, the sights of the arena spoke for themselves, and there was little the announcer could add to things. But Jessica's embarrassment and rage welled up within her. She gathered her strength for another fireburst, hoping to finish the match.
