"Tactically, it contains the element of surprise. Also, it's the least lethal part of my arsenal."
"The wrong kind of surprise. This is a surprise."
*A large stone statue in the area suddenly starts to move behind Cozren. It picks up a giant stone slab and tosses it at Selvik*
"Except it's not," Selvik mentions as his mask glows and he backflips out of the way, the slab missing him by inches. "The moment you said 'this is a surprise', I was alerted to any possible gaps in my situational awareness and was able to respond accordingly. Your line before that was also somewhat indicitive of that."
Without missing a beat, Selvik fires off a Rhotuka, his mask glowing once again to reduce the chance that Cozren can dodge it.

*As Selvik back flips, Cozren vanishes, and is no longer seen when Selvik lands. On top of that, Selvik notes that the slab didn't make a noise when it hit the ground. Which is odd, given the ground is stone as well and should have made a loud noise. If Selvik still fired off his Rhotuka, it hits where he intended it to go, but nothing happens. All is quiet*

"Okay, that shouldn't have happened," Selvik remarks as he quickly reabsorbs his Rhotuka's sound bubble. Three possibilities. Teleporter, invisibility, or just really really fast. If it was a teleporter, something bad would have happened by now. Also, that slab was waay too quiet. This should flush out two of the three possibilities, at least.
Selvik fires off an ear-numbing omnidirectional sonic burst, additionally incorperating a lower-level pulse that will bounce back if it hits anything.
No sooner has he recieved this data then he places a mine on the ground and runs three meters to the left.

*Cozren grabs his head and grits his teeth, but remains quiet. Though Selvik learns that Cozren is not too far off from where he saw him last, but only sees the ground where he should be. The statute throws another slab of stone at Selvik and Cozren tosses his knife at the Toa's ankle a second off from the incoming rock*

Selvik plays it safe and rolls out of the way, before firing a sonic blast at the statue and a Rhotuka at Cozren's location.

*The blast goes through the statue and hits the real thing behind it, causing the real on to crumble. Though the illusion quickly disappears, it does seem strange that the statue crumbles from its starting position instead of the position it was blasted in. Cozren causes his dagger to redirect and follow Selvik's roll in attempts to still strike and reveals himself. He quickly runs to his right to avoid the Rhotuka and jumps behind an unfinished statue*

The dagger makes a cut in Selvik's ankle. Gritting his teeth, Selvik grabs and bends the dagger to make it unusable, then draws his sonic "laser" and fires into the statue.

Confirmed illusionist, then.
*The statute starts to crumble and Cozren runs out from his cover. Though he hides his true self and casts an illusion of himself a feet ahead of where he's running. He heads towards Selvik*

Selvik lets out a pulse of echolocation to find the real Cozren; Cozren's non-horizontal motion relative to Selvik makes it easy to aim, and Selvik fires a Rhotuka at Cozren's center of mass, even as he rolls out of the way.

*Cozren drops the illusion and seamlessly leaps high up into the air, avoiding the spinner. As he comes back to the ground, he spots the mine Selvik laid down and throws his sword at it in hopes to set it off and smash the Toa with his own bomb*

Just as he leaps, Selvik guides the Rhotuka nearly twenty degrees up. In case that doesn't work, Slevik immedietely lets off a Probabilities-aided saser blast at the midair Cozren.
When and if Cozren comes down, his sword thing is successful. However, like any well-designed mine, the mine doesn't go off, instead just being rendered inoperable.

Zurakia suddenly materializes in the center of the arena
Koval teleports in next to him, he appears to be in a much larger form than normal. "What shall we call this, 'Great' Zurakia? The Grudge match of the century?" Koval circles, studying his opponent.

Zurakia stands still, his eyes following Koval, "Hmmph, you over-estimate yourself. No, this day shall be remembered as the day Koval learned his place."

"SNORT" Koval keeps studying Zurakia.
To Koval, it seems as if Zurakia's body suddenly melts. However, in reality, he dissipated into the millions of cubes that made him up. Each cube swarms around Koval, reforming behind him back into Zurakia, who instantly delivers a powerful blow to the back of Koval's head with his metal arm.

The cubes start to repell each other. Koval has given each cube a North (or South) magnetic polarity. He teleports out of Zurakia's grasp.

A white explosion radiates around Zurakia, demagnetizing the particles and allowing Zurakia to reform. Before Koval can react, Zurakia snaps his metal arm towards him and fires a massive beam of energy, ripping through the floor as it races towards him.
