As the two formidable warriors approached the gate, Tesla couldn't help but chuckle at the sight of Gate Guard. "Look at this guy, he's just a miserable excuse for a guard," he said to his opponent with his signature smirk. Gate Guard didn't look impressed by Tesla's remarks. "And you're just a walking TV set. What's with the gimmick anyways? Trying to distract your opponents with static?" he retorted, tightening his grip on his sword. Tesla rolled his eyes. "I don't need gimmicks to win. My abilities speak for themselves," he spat back, cracking his knuckles. Gate Guard chuckled, almost as if he was entertained by Tesla's arrogance. "I'm not so sure about that. Let's put your abilities to the test," he said, readying himself for the battle. Without any further hesitation, Tesla started off the battle with his Tesla Blast. The explosion rang out through the air, causing Gate Guard to stumble back. However, the Gate Guard quickly regained his balance and retaliated with a swift sword strike. The battle continued on, each opponent landing hits on the other. However, as the fight went on, Gate Guard began to notice Tesla's weakness. "You rely too much on your explosive attacks. It leaves you vulnerable in close combat," he pointed out, as Tesla stumbled back after another failed attack. As the battle came to a climax, Tesla attempted to use his Final Chaos ability. However, Gate Guard was ready for it. "I see what you're trying to do. It won't work," he said confidently, dodging Tesla's landmine-like attacks. In the end, it was Gate Guard who emerged victorious. As Tesla lay defeated on the ground, Gate Guard reached out a hand to help him up. "Not bad for a walking TV set," he said with a hint of admiration in his voice. Tesla begrudgingly took Gate Guard's hand, rising to his feet. "You got lucky this time," he muttered, before storming off in a rage. As Gate Guard watched Tesla's retreating form, he couldn't help but feel a twinge of pity for the defeated warrior. He knew that Tesla had potential, but his arrogance and over-reliance on flashy attacks had blinded him to the true nature of battle. If only Tesla could learn to curb his ego and think strategically, Gate Guard thought to himself, he could become a true force to be reckoned with. But for now, he remained just another defeated opponent at the mercy of Gate Guard's common sense.
