Silas grunts as an acknowledgement, otherwise not moving as he stares back at Mike. He brought all his goodies with him today, so his belt was a little more loaded than usual. He knew what it took to get through Mike's shield, but that was almost equal advantage for Mike, who had seen most of his gadgets up to this point.
He just stands there relaxed, arm resting by his hip as he waits.
"Give it all you got. I don't want to hear you bitch that you held back when you lose."
He'd glow an inky black blue, a baseball bat forming in his hands as he rushed for Silas. He was expecting Silas to throw something at him though, and he'd be ready.

Word had spread pretty quickly about the fight taking place, especially since there was the potential for spectators. It was the names of those involved that had caught her attention - Mike and Silas. You couldn't have dropped a bigger sign that something was up in her lap if you tried. So now, here she was, wondering why she was here and what the hell was going on to start it in the first place. She hoped she was wrong.
She slips into the tutorial, hanging back by one of the walls near the door with her arms crossed and a frown on her face as she waits to see what's happening.
Mike would swing blindly behind him. If it was like the hallway Silas would use the smoke to get around him for a sneak attack. If he misses Silas the kick would land but Mike would keep standing as the blow hit his force field!

By staying low he avoids Mike strikes and lands his own, for all the good it did him as he is unable to penetrate the soul field. His brow furrows in frustration both at this and the newfound sight of the spectators as he jumps back to get out of range.
He pulls a red disc but hesitates, looking up briefly and checking for their sprinkler system in tutorial.
Her focus is currently on the fact that the aura around Mike was different. She still remembered how it was the first day, back at orientation. Softer, and a light blue. This was almost scary in comparison.
Other than giving the other spectators a small nod, she's not really paying attention to Piper or Angel just now. She's too focused on what's happening.
As far as Silas can see the room is smooth and featureless. As if molded from a single piece of steel!
Mike would dash toward Silas, having a bead on him after the leg sweep attack. The bat in his hands shifting to be longer and heavier. A sledgehammer, as it swung for his hand that was holding the disk.
Silas jumps back again, attempting to throw the disc but turning into more of a toss/drop to avoid his hand getting hit! It falls by Mike's feet with a second delay before it would explode!
Silas begins strafing, pulling on schematics of tutorial to see where the power sources and water pipes were located, typing and running!
Mike remembered the disk and would jump back from it when it dropped by his feet. Missing the brunt of the explosion and his shield absorbing the rest.
"What's the matter? Can't fight against someone that doesn't have their back to you?"
The energy around him would pulse out further, the edges looking erratic and shifting rather than the calm lines of before. The hammer in his hand shifted again into a sword as he charged Silas again!
Silas finds both! He finds the pipe layouts and sees the main power source and the back up source!
Mike would side step this time having seen that it exploded on contact! He'd let it go flying past him! Thrusting the sword toward Silas's leg as he threw the disk upward. Slow him down.

"!!" Silas holds back a yelp as he makes a pained expression, nearly dropping to his knee as he pulls out his pain inducer, firing for Mike's chest in the midst of attempting to back up!
Like before the shield absorbed some of the pain but Mike couldn't help but howl out in pain as the waves coursed through his body lighting up his nerves!

Rebecca winces as both Silas' leg is stabbed and Mike is shot in the chest with whatever the tinkerer had pulled out. She grits her teeth but says nothing, her fingers clutching her shift to the point they've become fists.
Silas takes advantage of the second he has to fire his grappling gun for the exposed water pipes above! He puts his whole body into a tug to bend and break them, pouring water down for Mike!
The water pours over Mike's shield and puddles around him! As the pain fades away so would the blade. Mike's fists were balled up and his breathing ragged. He was sick of Silas and his little toys.
"Why the toys? Why not your power? I said I don't want you holding back!"
Silas grabs two electric discs and throws them as he jumps back to avoid the grab. One disc is thrown for Mike and the other at the puddle by his feet. His back smacks into the wall behind him, the power source just behind the wall.
"You people! Always relying on your power! That's what makes you weak!"
Mike kept moving forward, the electric disk slamming into him. The electric current and the water creating a powerful blast over Mike's body. The shield would begin to crack as Mike kept coming forward. Methodical and unwavering.
"I am fighting you with nothing but who I am. You are the one hiding behind your little toys and weapons."
He'd try to slam his forearm into Silas to pin him against the wall.
As scary as it is to see Mike this way, it's the tone in Silas's voice that snags her attention. She turns her head to face him as he all but sneers the words out. She can practically taste the contempt in 'you people.'
It was a very interesting choice of words, she thought as she stood up a little straighter. Very interesting.
