The fight begins. The opponents gain the upper hand quickly, partly due to the sandy floor being difficult for Cal to light on fire. Cal manages to fend off Evangeline and her brother while Mare works her way around to where Arven stands, leading a strongarm along. A Silver who manipulates water douses Cal’s flame and starts to boil him with his own heat. At the far end of the arena, Mare waits until the strongarm throws a sharpened pipe at her. At the last moment she moves so the pipe strikes Arven, killing him. Her lightning returns, and her sparking power and red blood are captured on screen.

Mare kills two opponents, including the one who was drowning Cal. Evangeline and her brother run, making Cal and Mare victorious. They look up to claim their victory but find the arena empty except for Maven, Elara, and an army of sentinels that crowds in on them. Cal and Mare back up to a chasm in the floor of the arena, and a row of guns pokes from the hole, firing at the sentinels. Members of the Scarlet Guard pull Cal and Mare off the edge, and they fall into the water far below.
