I tried to set a trap to even the playing field... I normally had backup fighting him before, so I knew I needed every advantage I could. So I created a slippery surface and set the ballpit on fire so he'd fall into it...
[ a beat ]
But he tore off the hand that was holding the apple I needed and it fell in the ballpit so I needed to go down there anyway...

As soon as I realized I was still up, I went out looking for whoever was trying to kill me.

I just challenged him and we fought, and he got me while I was being mauled by lions.
[ lucas seeing his chance and going for it because he still had more killing to accomplish. ]

... I'm sorry, Saber, that's still... a lot.

... I'm sure you put up the best fight you could, and I hope you get your rematch soon enough.
