Xbalanque: Well, now that I've said it, care to help an old man out, hero?
Icon Dialogue Talk White Huh? Okay... So, uh, what are you capable of?
Xbalanque: Ahem! See, I was also quite the formidable warrior in my time — surely, a match for Mavuika. I mean, I was the first Pyro Archon, after all. I could shake the cliffs with a single punch, scale mountains with a single leap.
Mavuika: Very formidable indeed. So, you'd like to spar with me?
Xbalanque: Yes.
Mavuika: Using your current body? Will he be able to handle it?
Xbalanque: Don't worry, I'll find a suitable location for our duel, and a way to keep this body safe.
Xbalanque: The first sun... the ardent sun. This star is a flame, burning with a passion that will consume all.
Xbalanque: From the moment I first saw you, I knew you to be a true warrior, just like me.
Xbalanque: Surely, you shall not refuse me this battle — O inheritor of my Ancient Name, the burning sun, "KiongoziLeader" Mavuika.
Mavuika: I accept.
Xbalanque: Brilliant. In that case, let us free ourselves from mortal shape. Let the ancient souls guide you to the true arena of duels!
(Enter the Temple of the Spirit)
Paimon: What... is this place?
Icon Dialogue Talk White I've never been here before...
Icon Dialogue Talk White ...Such powerful pressure.
Mavuika: ...Is this a temple of the spirit?
Xbalanque: This is the land of the sun, created by my soul. Only the sun and those blessed by it can survive here.
Xbalanque: Me, you, you, and you. The sun, the other sun, Blessed One-One, and Blessed One-Two.
Paimon: We've been... blessed by the sun?
Xbalanque: The sun will remember the most virtuous stars. You are hope itself — the most radiant, most important friends we could have.
Xbalanque: We have invited you here, so you may witness the clash of suns.
Mavuika: I see... We've manifested in an almost fully spiritual, consciousness-like form, removing the limits of our flesh.
Xbalanque: That's right.
Xbalanque: As I said, I knew you to be a born warrior the moment I laid eyes on you. But there are two forms of human strength: that of the body, and of the spirit.
Xbalanque: The great Xbalanque, impressed upon a child's body, found less than a third of his original strength available to him. In that form, I'd lost my strength of body.
Xbalanque: But here, we meet as our true spiritual selves. In this place, even a child may shake heaven and earth due to the great soul within.
Xbalanque: What makes a true hero? Someone strong of body? Or strong of mind? Or... must one be strong in both to surpass human limits?
Xbalanque: Which of these are you, Mavuika?
Mavuika: Ha. Well said, Xbalanque. Let us prove our mastery of both strengths through this battle — to Natlan, to each other, and to the rest of the world.
Mavuika: You and I both know we'll never meet a better-matched opponent.
Xbalanque: Indeed. That's exactly what I've always wanted.
Xbalanque: As a citizen of Natlan, as the Pyro Archon, as an opponent from across the millennia and a friend whom you never had the chance to meet...
Xbalanque: Let us have a fair and honorable duel!
