Formation Check

With Cole back in the ranks, our squad needed a tactical assessment before any clash. I marched Kai, Zane, and Cole onto a broad flat gray baseplate spread over the rug. We squared up into a four-way defense formation, testing footing against the woven carpet edge. I locked my hands around my twin golden katanas, checking Zane's shuriken angles and Cole's ground stance while Kai paced the perimeter. Every joint snapped tight into position with zero wobble. We stand united and combat-ready.
