Takatora was wrapped up in his work, but took a moment to glance to the calendar. Yoko should be back soon, so that was good. He wanted to make an expedition into Helheim soon, since things weren't going very well at the moment with the research. He'd need her assistance in this mission. He'd need everyone he could get.

Cass Hoban stopped outside of the Tower, "So, this is it?"
The less she said to him about their operations the better. She was going to lead him, watch him get his ass beat by Takatora, and dump his body personally somewhere outside of town if he was unfortunate enough to survive.
Someone came to Takatora, reporting that Yoko had returned, along with someone else. Takatora rose and headed out to meet them. She'd said nothing of the sort, after all.
Takatora descended from his office, and soon enough he was there. He stopped down the hall, "Minato, who is this man?" he questioned, carrying his briefcase in one hand, his other hand in his pocket.
"Well hello, Mr Kureshima, it took you long enough," she smiled at him and spoke in her best professional voice, "This man, Mr. Hoban, would like to formally challenge you to a duel."

"A duel?" Takatora questioned with some disbelief in his voice. He looked at Yoko, "If you brought him, I'm sure you tested him yourself. Whatever the reason for his being here, I'll fight, and I'll make a quick end to this."
Cass smiled, "That's the type of cockiness I like. But don't think you'll put me down quickly," he told Takatora in his low voice, "I will crush you." He held out his Advent Deck as Takatora put his Driver on.
Both men transformed and stepped outside, to the back, away from the street.
"Let's go," Cass said, teleporting forward and slamming his staff down. Takatora grunted as he caught the weapon against his sword and shield and pushed back. The two slashed at each other, but nothing connected.
Cass vanished again, so Takatora span around to parry. However he appeared back where he had been, now at Takatora's back. He slashed Takatora across the back, sending him stumbling. The two moved at high speeds, with Cass teleporting and Takatora using his flash step, clashing and slashing at each other.
Cass stepped back and loaded a card.
Sword Vent
He took his twin swords and vanished, appearing in a circle around Takatora, constantly teleporting. Takatora blocked the slashes that came, but then he appeared low, slashing both blades across Takatora's right leg, dropping him with a shout of pain. Takatora swung his sword up, clipping Cass's armor.
Cass appeared behind Takatora, slashing both blades down Zangetsu's back. Takatora fell and rolled, swinging wildly up, but his sword was relieved from his hand and Cass thrust his foot down onto Takatora's chest, putting a sword to his throat.
For a minute there, Yoko actually did believe they would duke it out in the hallway, Hoban seemed like the type to not care where he fought as long as he fount someone.
She followed them outside, not saying anything, as she watched the two men battle. She yawned to show boredom, but she was intently watching them, though her eyes often lost track of where they were as they vanished all throughout the field.
And eventually the teleport spamming came to an end.
"No way.." she blinked, her jaw dropping, "This can't be.. Takatora..lost..?"

Cass moved aside as Takatora's armor shattered. He lay there, panting, his suit torn up. He rose slowly, but his right leg crumbled under him, causing him to scream in pain as he fell.
"So much for your boss," Cass told Yoko, laughing as his armor vanished.
