Ace noticed that Rachel was almost sure of her own victory. But Ace wanted to differ. After he saw her rip a piece out of the stadium wall, he sensed her getting desperate. She wasn't thinking clear anymore, to his opinion.
As he heard the crowd cheer and Rachel getting closer, he was surprised to see when she launched herself in the air. He suddenly heard a huge thud behind him, and knew he had to leap. Full of amazement he saw the huge piece of wall under his feet, this time he leaped high enough to land on it.
The only thing was, Ace lost his balance because of the wounds he had on the back of his feet. Embarrassing as it was, Ace felt pretty lucky when he fell off the fragment of wall, as he noticed it getting crushed by Rachel next attack. Ace was pretty intimidated by this, seeing that would've been the spot where he would've went if he didn't lose his balance and had actually dodged this monstrous slash.
As Ace laid on the ground for a few seconds, he heard the crowd go wild. The two fighters were both wishing this fight was over, and Ace knew that he wouldn't win by just sitting there. He laid eyes on the sheathed sword. He stood up as fast as he could, headed towards the partially furious princess, who was still having trouble getting her wing loose out of the ground, and rolled through her legs, grabbing her sword with him. When he got out from underneath her, he slightly jumped in the air, and used her back to boost him in to the sky. He didn't hesitate another second and threw royalty's shortsword as if it were another one of his Shurikens...
