I can't do anything with her constantly throwing those things at me!
- Blyke, on Rein
This is the 15th episode of unORDINARY.
Synopsis[]
Blyke and Rein activate their abilities before they square off for the next round. Blyke fires a couple of energy shots at her, but she doesn't move from her spot. The shots explode on impact, but Blyke sees that they harmlessly hit one of the two spider legs that sprouted from Rein's back. She then starts swinging those long legs, easily negating Blyke's natural advantage at long range. He finds it impossible to counterattack while she pressures him so, and a surprise injury demonstrates he won't be able to reliably dodge. Bleeding from his chest and legs, Blyke sees that Rein grew another pair of long legs.
Rein's next attack utilizes all four legs in a concentrated strike. Blyke waits until the last moment to rocket forward, believing that he can win with another sudden close-up attack. But Rein is prepared for such an eventuality. She extends a third pair of legs and hits him square in the torso with them. This blow knocks the Jack to the ground.
Back on the Wellston sidelines, Seraphina shoots a look at Arlo. He's clearly seeing the same fight she is, but his smile indicates that he fully intends to let it play out. Seraphina doesn't understand why, as the outcome is clear by now.
Blyke is now bleeding rather heavily, and he wheezes an insult towards his opponent and her creepy power. Unperturbed by his bravado, Rein asks him if he means so little to his team that they're willing to let him suffer this humiliation to the bitter end. Blyke defensively says that the matter is no concern of hers. Rein says that if that's the case, she'll make the end swift. She thrusts all six legs towards Blyke, who can do nothing to save himself.
Fortunately, a voice from the Wellston side of the field calls out and forfeits the second match. It comes from Seraphina, to the shock of her teammates. She instructs Elaine to attend to Blyke. The healer obliges, she helps Blyke off the field. The Jack has a guilty look in his eye as he passes Seraphina. She doesn't notice, having been overcome with outrage that Arlo led their team on a barbaric path in her absence.
Seraphina steps forward to fight Rein, who doesn't seem intimidated in the presence of a legend. But they're interrupted by Arlo, who insists to Seraphina that she keep to their prior arrangement and let him handle the rest on his own.
