Isaac emerged from the darkness like a swimmer emerging from a pool. He stood in front of Etienne, a wide grin spread across his face. Etienne couldn't make out his features in the darkness, only the vague outline of his body.
He laughed maniacally, the sound echoing across the pitch black room.
"Hey Ninjaman," His voice was low. Every word was spoken deliberately, "Do you remember me from the Capitol attack? This is our first time speaking one-on-one, right? You're bigger than I expected…"
Etienne took a swing at Isaac and missed wide.
"Fast, too!" Isaac shouted enthusiastically, "Maybe Auntie was right about you. You're the future of heroing, alright!"
Etienne gritted his teeth and shouted, "I hate when my opponents compliment me!"
Etienne let out a flurry of rapid punches, all of them missing the mark badly. He jumped back and accidentally hit one of the walls.
Isaac laughed, "Oh? Are you trying to retreat?"
