Before Genesis even went on the offensive again, Zell could see where this was going. Just how much could they up each other before one of them took out the other? He recognized all too well the sound of an oncoming Thunder-type spell and immediately steeled himself. He cast Shell on himself earlier, so he opted to let it do its job. Once the Thundaga shot down, he felt the electricity course through his body, shocking him inside out. He let out a cry when the sheer force of it finally knocked him flat on his back. He found himself wishing he'd junctioned his Thundagas to his defense so he would have at least been immune. Those hurt!

"Well. I've got one more trick up my sleeve," he breathed, climbing up onto his feet.

Without giving himself long to catch his breath, Zell finally drew Aura. A light flashed out around him and suddenly he was aglow with a bright golden aura. It and the Haste he was still buzzing under the effect of gleamed, drenching him in a gold and white, alternating and pulsating with power. If Genesis thought Zell was fast and powerful before...

The speed at which Zell moved when he burst into a run was nothing short of breakneck, leaving afterimages its wake. It was Duel time, baby!

Zell tried to zoom around Genesis in a circle, always on the move, in order to assault him with a flurry of martial arts, eager to see how he'd keep up. If one hit, however, it'd be with twice the force he exhibited before.
