Brimstone didn't falter, but eyes widened at the imposing wall of weapons.

Sombra's horn glowed, and a wide, ornamental broadsword floated from the wall towards him. "As usual, I find myself in a win-win scenario." He tested the blade's weight. "Make no mistake, son: I fully intend to kill you today. You've crossed me, and I cannot allow such heresy to go unpunished, but I would be ecstatic to see you rise to defeat me."

Brimstone cast a glance down at the carpet.

Sombra let out a hearty laugh. "Hahaha! You may cross the line now, son. I told you: bladed weapons only, on my honor."

Brimstone adjusted his wings into a defensive stance, protecting his left side. He thrust his right wing towards Sombra. "You have no honor!"

Sombra smirked. "Words hurt, son." He spun the blade in front of him. "Almost as much as this will. HYAH!"
