Julin kept his aura up as he was struggling with this man to try and lift him up before he heard Garret's shout. He turned to look at him and screamed as he was hit, the aura preventing the spear from puncturing him and his armor but the lightning surged through him violently due to the electric shock. He lost his footing when Nachtaut turned and moved Julin against his will, stumbling and soon being thrown at Garret as he felt the shock stop when he pulled away. Julin looked to the two, panting heavily before he glared at Garret. He saw the greatsword still lodged in the ground by Nachtaut, he focused his mind and looked to Garret, soon choosing to charge at him. "Nice nnngh ambush, but I never forgot about you!" He shouted as he was trying to stay on his feet, aiming to get close to try and go for a haymaker towards Garret's jaw. His eyes clear on those spears, his body ready to react, albeit, slightly slower due to the shock harming his muscles.

Virtue, while not piercing aura, would send a strong surge of electricity through Julin who would scream and lose his own footing from the attack. Onyx did...not seem to have his aura up as Heir instead pierced into his skin; burning both externally and internally. He too would roar in pain but instead of move away he would...shift and cause the spear to go deeper to pull off an attack Garret had not been aware of; throwing Julin. The man, already off balance form Garret's attack, would be thrown at Garret suddenly. Having little time to really react, having been too close and having to focus to try and pull Heir out of Onyx, Julin would successfully crash into Garret and send him tumbling back to the ground from the hit a few feet away, spears falling besides Garret (and Heir being pulled out of night skin). 'He is definitely strong, but why didn't he have aura up? He had warning that I would come to attack...' Garret would wonder to himself briefly as he quickly moved to recover; springing back up to his feet while picking up his spears. He would look warily between his two opponents to see what was to come next; Julin it seemed wanted to keep initiative and charged him now. His weapon, the greatsword, currently out of reach. 'It seems everyone besides myself is a hand to hand fighter, or at least proficient,' Garret thought to himself with slight amusement as he readied himself in a defensive stance with both spears pointed to him. As Julin would come in for the attack, Garret would strike out defensively with his spears once he was in range; Heir having been up and held with hand towards his ear while Virtue had his hand holding it down by his waist with both facing Julin. Virtue would lead with a stab forwards directed at Julin's chest, followed by a diagonal slash from Heir (from Julin's left shoulder down to his right hip) as Garret would take a step forward and then transition to a spin following the step (using the momentum of the strike with Heir to bring both spears down diagonally to Julin. He was not focused on Onyx at this point as Julin would not be giving him space nor the chance to.

The scorched wound Garret had left was already beginning to close, a swirling streaked mix of crimson and black being visible if Garret or Julin or Lilli could manage to get a close look at it. Following the sounds of battle between Julin's clanky armor and Garret's wooshing spears, Nachthaut charged over from behind Julin, in an effort to hammer at his back with interlocked fists.

Julin kept up on staying close to Garret after their initial collision, noting that Garret was able to get back to his feet relatively easily. Julin's eyes were scanning as he could see Garret entering a defensive stance, intent to keep Julin out of reach. The spear by his waist would lunge out at Julin's chest, but oddly enough, Julin guided his left foot back, his thrown fist stopping mid-swing as he turned on a dime, avoiding the first stab quickly, even avoiding a grazing blow. His eyes remained trained on Garret, but a sound was getting closer, the sound of pounding flesh on stone. 'Nachtaut!' He thought as he could see the other spear, from Garret's eyeline, swing quickly, barely blocking the spear and sending it veering off course but Julin could see Garret was not done. The man took a step, spinning and pressing the attack but as Nachtaut got closer, Julin ducked down and to the right, poised to tackle Garret to the ground but instead he launched a donkey kick back with his greaved covered leg, coating it in aura as he aimed to make Nachtaut take a knee and avoid a lethal cut from the twin spear user.
If Julin's attack had the intended effect of hurting Nachtaut, and getting him out of harm's way, he'd pull himself forward, aiming to throw his body at Garret once more, knowing he had trouble when he was thrown at him last time, but the intent was to avoid being close to Nachtaut once more and to add more damage.

What seemed like it would be a clash of blows turned into something else entirely. As Garret stabbed forward with his spear while Julin had been charging for a punch, he would find his opponent had turned almost as if he had not been charging Garret and avoid the blow entirely. While Garret was hoping to catch his opponent off guard by the intensity and speed of his attacks, it would be met with similar failure. His first slashing strike would be blocked and deflected, but the momentum Garret built by stepping forward and twisting allowed him to recover quickly and bring it to bear with his other spear for the follow up attack. While Garret could vaguely see Onyx coming up behind Julin, he could not see quite what was attempted; Julin having been in the way and his focus was pressing the attack on him. Unfortunately, his spears yet again missed their mark; Julin would duck and dodge to the right, with Garret unable to really redirect his attack to compensate. Seeing how things were going close quarters, Garret would take a few steps back while holding up a defensive stance; once he recovered balance and control from the spin attack. "I have to admit, I underestimated your ability to fight two on one," Garret would say aloud with respect in his voice; eyes locked on Julin. Garret would remain in a defensive stance, waiting to react to whatever was to come of Julin and potentially Onyx. Seeing how suddenly Julin had turned on the dime though, Garret kept a trap planned with his defensive stance; the spear that had yet to fire would have its barrel open now, spear-head tucked underneath, and ready to fire. So if Julin ended up throwing himself forward, he could expect both spears to go towards him but one firing before impact.

The wound in his abdomen now roughly half way healed, his swing missing as Julin ducked out of the way and launched a hard kick at Nachthaut, connect with his stomach and narrowly avoiding Garret's spears to either side of his head as he lurched forward. Stumbling as he followed through with an overheard swing of his locked fists, following the sounds of Julin's armor, but missing and smashing his fists into the stone arena due to the stagger, konkcing up a bit of dust as it cracked a bit from the sheer force.
Julin's kick had landed it's mark, dropping Nachtaut down to a knee as Garret was in the process of backing away with Julin throwing himself to a blank and getting back to his feet. He was breathing a bit heavily as he kept his hands up, a defensive boxer stance as he listened to Garret and a light smirk graced his face. "I appreciate that I surprised you once more." He told Garret as he looked back to Nachtaut who was recovering from the attack and with it, Julin reached down, pulling into his bag and pulled out a yellow Crystal. Instead of approaching close, Julin's aura fully activated before he soon said. "But I believe this time I need to Even the field slightly!"
He raised his left hand up, not charging at Garret but instead throwing the Lightning Crystal down towards Garret's feet with it primed. The goal of the Lightning Crystal was to detonate with an ear-splitting thunderous roar to deafen the field for a moment along with a bright flash. During the deafening roar of thunder, Julin was quick to run, going past Nachtaut with his sounds hidden inorder to go and pick up his greatsword and re-arm himself, he couldn't keep to the offensive so he had to use an option he had but never used up until now. Whether Garret was blinded and deafened or not mattered very little to Julin, as the main goal was to temporarily deafen Nachtaut and make him lose track of Julin and Garret's sounds.

Garret's guard went up immediately on seeing that; though the way it was use surprised him a bit. Especially as he said he needed to even the playing field a bit; a guard well warranted as the ma threw the crystal towards Garret. Having seen glimpses of the man's strength, and their proximity, it was an easy throw to make; and Garret could see it was not directed at him but his feet. Expecting it to stun him or something of the like, Garret would attempt to jump back to clear the area. He was not expecting the flashbang effect though. "Tch," was the only sound Garret made as there were spots in his vision and his ears were ringing slightly. Moving a little away helped lower the hearing impediment but the light was another thing. He tried to remain calm, resisting the urge to cover his ears as he forced his eyelids shut. Trying to use his eyes for the moment was pointless. He took five measured steps back, careful not to accidentally leave the arena as he didn't recall how close to the edge he was, while holding his spears defensively. The ringing was abating, his hearing coming back, but even with eyes closed he still had spots in his vision. He wasn't sure how much Onyx would be affected by this, given his already lack of sight and him being furthest of them all from the dust, and knew him to be a big threat during this. He wasn't sure how Julin fared either; while he would be safe from the flash, he was closer than Onyx so he may be affected by the deafening as well. In case of anything, he loosely gripped a black dust crystal in the hand with Virtue; a backup of sorts.

. . . . . . .
The wound from Garret had now been completely healed up, but the bruise from Julin's kick was just starting to heal when the armored man decided to flashbang them all. Chasing after the sounds of clanking armor, or at least in the last direction he had heard them, Nachthaut staggered at the defeaningly loud explosion of thunder, his sense of orientation and distance practically non-existent with the annoying ringing in his ears causing him to stumble about swinging at the air until it subsided.

Julin managed to make it pass Nachthaut, getting to his greatsword as his own ears were ringing, but not as much as he was prepared for the sound. He removed his sword as he looked between the Grimm Walker and the Twin Spears. He brought his blade up and closed his eyes, soon loading it up with a fire dust shard as he got into a thrusting stance. While he could see clearly, and could note the current state of the other competitors, he noticed the announcer lady was currently moving away, with her rubbing her eyes. He smirked slightly to himself as he focused his aim and decided that to better suit this battle for him, he needed to get one of them out. He took a measured step as his ringing was ending, remaining quiet to not alert Nachthaut to his position now that he knew the man was blind, and thrusts with his sword. The plates did shift to alert movement as he released a single flaming arrow head towards Garret, aimed at his left knee. From the battle so far, he deduced the man was very well-acquainted with moving, and from what he could tell, depended on acrobatics. The flaming arrow had no intent to explode and if the hit landed, would either hit aura with flames or pierce just above his knee and cauterize the wound immediately.

Being blinded was a severe downside with how precision favored his weaponry versus the others. He could hear movement, but not exactly where it was coming from. 'Tch, Julin has the advantage. I need this accursed blindness to end soon,' he thought to himself silently, still straining his senses. He heard the sound of something being pulled from the ground; his best guess was Julin's sword though he could be wrong. His armor gave a distinctive noise, but he was being careful and at a distance. At least that was what Garret could tell; he could be wrong. He wondered what his plan would be as the only one with sight left in all likelihood. He would hear a sudden sound, one he had not heard earlier, but one he was familiar with. The sound of something being fired; it had the twang of a bow at that. A rush of thoughts went through Garrets mind; was it an arrow or projectile? Who was it going to and who fired it? Should he use his semblance or move? Too many questions to answer with the time he likely had left. He had to react in some way. There was a passing thought to continue holding back for the final battle as well. The hesitation caused him to get hit by the arrow, aura blocking it, but feeling the heat and power of the hit nonetheless. 'That settles it,' he thought fleetingly. And so Garret activated his semblance. A burst of red aura would outline him, his eyes would turn crimson, and his hair change to a blue color. At this stage, his vision was recovering now and he slowly opened his eyes; having them slowly adjust to the sudden light and remaining spots from before.
"Enough of this. It is time to end this battle," Garret would say aloud. His vision was not fully recovered, but he could see for the most part now. His head would turn to regard both Onyx and Julin briefly before he would strike now. He knew the dust was fading on his spears, so he act swiftly. He would throw Virtue at Julin and Heir at Onyx now; to hopefully use the last of their dust to good effect. He would then rush forward to Julin now, and regardless of if his spears hit or miss, he would call them back to him. If any had dodged so it went past them, it would have a chance to strike them from behind. Regardless of that, he was hoping to be able to get at least one back in time for a clash with Julin. If not, he still loosely held a black dust and had a plan depending on how he reacted. While he had largely not fought or focused on Onyx as much, it was mostly because they had both been targeting Julin.

. . . . . . .
In his wild flailing, Nachthaut had turned his back to Garret, taking the head of the spear more than an inch deep. Swinging his arm around to grab at it, he barely got ahold of it as the spearman's semblance yanked it out. Fighting the hard gravitational force with one arm, he used it to guide him right to Garret, aiming to grab him by the head and lift him single-handedly.
If he did manage to get a grip on Garret, Nachthaut would move to ram Heir's head into him as many times as he could. If the weapon wanted to return so badly, he'd be glad to 'help'. Though, even if Garret managed to avoid being grabbed, he'd risk being swatted away at the slightest yank of his weapon against his steely grip, veins bulging from the strained effort.
Julin smiled slightly at the confirmed strike of the flame arrow as he pulled the blade back and soon saw his aura become fully visible around him. The man stood tall and determined now, and Julin could see the flash of crimson in his eyes. He flinched slightly, getting into a defensive state as he heard the man speak while Nachthaut flailed around aimlessly. "So this is how you get serious... I appreciate the fact you're taking this fight seriously." He told Garret before he saw the man's body flex and his eyes narrowed onto the point of Virtue flying towards him, his body instantly telling him to defend and he swung the blade, knocking virtue in the air, the blade clashing with the dust and feeling the light shock from it. The man began to charge and Julin started to focus his aura into his left hand. Seeing Nachtaut not only take the other spear to him, but began to be pulled towards Garret as the man seemed narrowed on him. But Julin knew better, and seeing Nachtaut was on the receiving end of being slightly impaled, Julin chose to fight.
He decided to use his Greatsword in an unorthodox manner, bringing it down into a single-handed reverse grip as he took a step and aimed to ram the pommel towards Garret and Nachtaut, his left hand primed with aura and with his first match, he aimed to replicate the parry once again, but who would trigger it was the other question as the battle would definitely be coming to a close soon. If the pommel of the greatsword hit Garret, he'd aim to try and bull rush to try and knock Garret away from him and Nachtaut, but if it missed Garret, instead the pommel would be aimed to hit Nachtaut next to try and knock him away if the attack landed.

Heir had struck true to Onyx, though the man was still on his feet. Why he had no aura up still baffled him, expecting the man to be staggered and badly wounded, but he seemed able to press on and wasn't as bad as Garret expected. 'No matter, this will be over swiftly,' Garret thought to himself. While having two opponents was an advantage to his style, he still needed to defeat at least one of them. He had to win the crowds favor in that way, even if he may not be able to fell the other. Both his opponents had proved fairly competent thus far, though, so he was not underestimating them. In fact, as Garret charged to Julin, Onyx seemed to be using his own spear to find him; Garret only really aware due to movement on his peripheral and the sound of it. Seeing this altered Garret's plan as he continued running to Julin, that man seemingly awaiting him for the clash of blows. A new idea had come to Garret's mind though with Onyx's current course of action as Virtue came back to his hand from its deflection by Julin. He would need to time it just right; his plan would leave him vulnerable for a moment but he had to take the risk to succeed.
Still calling Heir back to him, Garret rushed to Julin as if he planned to impale him with his charge. However, his spear would never meet Julin nor his blade. A few feet in front of Julin, enough that even if the man stepped forth he should still hopefully have enough space, he would strike Virtue into the ground and use it to pole vault/flip over Julin. As he did so, he held onto the heavy gravity dust crystal till he hopefully landed on the other side. Moving quickly still, he would toss it right at Julin's back; aiming to have the brunt of the gravity dust crystal just affect him. His plan was two fold with this; it would hopefully leave Julin immobile...and cause Onyx to impale Heir into Julin instead of himself. With this move, he could hopefully fell his armored opponent and only have Onyx to contend with, if the match continued. Depending how things transpired, Garret may also pivot and go for an attack at Julin from behind while this effect lasted. Regardless, he intended for Onyx aided attack to hit him first just so if Julin managed to pull off an escape his plan would not backfire on himself.

Being led toward Garret as he flipped over Julin, Nachthaut took a powerful strike to the ribs as he lurched forward to grab at all the noise the two were making. An audible crack could be heard over the crowd as he grunted and snarled, though still pressed on through Julin's attack with furious quickness trying to grab and lift him off the ground to repeatedly ram Heir into the armored man. He certainly was relentless, if narrow-minded, but with a weapon in his hands he was sure to be even more dangerous unless they got it away from him somehow.
