Reina: Alright! It's Lamia and (Y/N) v Leora! Who will win? Who will lose?

Also, everyone is fighting - including the retainers. Selena, Odin, and Laslow are the only retainers inside.

Leora gaped at Lamia. "Lauren!"

"Shut up!" Lamia yelled as she slashed at Leora. Leora backed away and gulped.

"O-Oh.... Hi-"

"Too late for that," Lamia replied. "I'm here to kill you."

Leora's eyes hardened. "Oh? So that you can ruin my special day?"

"Love is overrated," Lamia replied.

You ran up to Lamia's side and held your knife from Leo. "Let's kill her."

"With pleasure, Lucy."

At once, you both dash at Leora. Her lackey stepped forward and summoned wind, sending you both backwards. You both hit the barrier and fall down, groaning.

"Witness my power!" Leora laughed.

"You mean your lackey's!" Lamia taunted as she jumped up. "You're basically a wimp."

Leora growled. "DIE!"

Her lackey went forward and attacked Lamia, who countered and attacked.

"(Y.... (Y/N)...."

You turn around. "Leo!" You dash to his side. "Are you alright?"

"N-No.... What's happening?"

You try to cut the bonds on his hand. No luck. "Your crazy fiancee is trying to kill everyone."

"What?"

"(Y/N)!"

You look up to see Lamia sprawl on the ground. Hissing, you grab a potion and throw it at Leora and her lackey, temporarily blinding them.

Around you, the Nohrians and the Hoshidans had teamed up, defeating the shadows. Azura's singing invigorated everyone, allowing them to fight more efficiently. Outside, you briefly see Beruka and Subaki flying around and attacking shadows.

Your spirits began to lift. It looked like you guys were winning.

"Uh..."

You look at Leo again. "Oops!" You attempt to free him by using your knife.

"What is this?" Leo asked.

"The Constraining Potion. It traps a person and makes them tell the truth."

"Oh joy," Leo muttered bitterly. "Now the pineapple use that as ammo against me."

"Not if I punch him first."

Leo cracked a smile. You scowl and look through your bag (you secretly brought it in case something like this happened) for something to help Leo. After a few seconds, you found what you were looking for - the Anti-Conjuring Potion.

You look at Leo. "Open your mouth."

Leo did so, and you poured thee liquid done his throat. Leo made a face, but you understood it. It tasted like old cabbage. You know this because you tried it once by accident. (You scowl at that memory.)

Around you, the battle began to wind down. You wonder why until you see both of Leora's lackeys group Lamia and through her on the ground.

"LAMIA!" You shriek as you get up.

"Nice try."

You blink. Oh no....

You forgot about Leora, and your dagger was with Leo.

Turning around, Leora was approaching you with a sinister glare, and she raised her sword above her head.

"Goodbye, Lucy."

You gulp as the blade comes down -

- only to feel a whoosh of wind, and with a clang, the sword never reached you.

You gasp at the warrior in front of you, whose back was facing Leora. An arm was raised and held a sword behind her head, blocking Leora's attack.

"Surprise m**********r!" Echo yelled.

Reina: That "surprise m***********" line was suggested by Steampowered_Dragon She initially suggested it when Cori appeared, but I didn't use it.

Anyway, Echo threw herself into the fray. Things should get interesting.......

Also, the reason why Lamia lost her fight was because she was fighting Chaol and Dia snuck up behind her and tackled her to the ground.

Hopefully the next part will come up soon.
