Malachite squares off against his mechanical opponent inside the spire of LTC Headquarters where the old recreational centre is located. The robot's designation is the "Mark 1 Commander Class Robot", a prototype that Malachite has reprogrammed to be his sparring partner. The pair are watched by a tea-sipping Concord. Both combatants wield magically imbued blades that function with all the efficiency of real swords.
