Quickly, light shot out of the ground, causing most of the men to groan in pain. There was a lot of them though, so Sable couldn't use much power on each. Duke quickly dashed forward and sent a hit toward one man, landing it square on his jaw. He was out immediately. However, he was only able to land another hit on one guard's stomach before the man stumbled back up. He clapped his hands in front of him and a powerful wave of energy sent Duke flying backwards and crashing into the wall behind him. He groaned, and as he tried to clamor to his feet the man approached again, landing a square kick on Duke's stomach. He coughed as he felt his breath leave his body. But before the man could land another hit on Duke, the decaying leaves and flowers scattering the ground rose up and spun around the man in a flurry. He stumbled backwards, trying desperately to wave them out of his face, but ended up tripping on the debris and falling to the ground. Now, it was Duke's turn to kick the man in the gut. After a few solid kicks to the stomach, he stomped on the man's face and the man fell unconscious. Duke turned to see that Carina stood concentrating on the leaves in the air, and deduced that she was, in fact, the one controlling them.
