Recap
From the wiki page Kalinka Korobeiniki:
In Ferfou’s reality, Ferfou thought of how she had humiliated H.A.U.N.T. and only gotten gold yet she was still not satisfied, and faced Kalinka who was there to avenge her team-mates. Despite this, once Ferfou began attacking with her rapier, Kalinka asked if they couldn’t talk things out, and used her telekinesis to almost push Ferfou off stage, asking her why she was so decided to win and lamenting Stitch was sad about their previous encounter with the frenchie. Ferfou called H.A.U.N.T. a bunch of harassing monsters and that she could only care about getting the victory, although secretly it seemed she was just acting rude to try to provoke her opponent and considered she wasn’t even in good terms with her own team due to her attitude (she revealed then Wanzu-tier fourth wall breaking powers by melting my eyes trying to discern her thought text). Kalinka then was motivated to fight, and created a huge psychic blast, but Ferfou used Haste and dodged it, going for Kalinka while hoping she would not kill her - however she was surprised to find Kalinka received her next attack by flying, and promptly grabbed her by the neck and ordered her to surrender. Ferfou refused, then used Somewhere In Time to stop time for five seconds, enough to pierce the ghost’s lung. Kalinka managed to get up, but it was right after the ten second count from Berbie finished, meaning she had lost the match, although Ferfou was glad she hadn’t died. She noted she knew a ghost did not need lungs and that Kalinka would recover, and congratulated her for the match. Kalinka said Sanguine could have done better, and Ferfou invited her to relax as they spent time together by the edge of the Bucket.
In Kalinka’s canon reality, Kalinka was called down to the Bucket for her match against the bane of H.A.U.N.T.: Ferfou Tompetite. Kalinka seemed disappointed to have to fight after so much effort to keep her vow of peace intact, but she agreed to battle after Lenard encouraged her. Cyrus, too, showed concern for Kalinka, which she rewarded with a kiss before floating down to the arena. As Kalinka and Ferfou greeted each other, Kalinka seemed a lot more serious and cutthroat than usual. Kalinka asked Ferfou what her reason for fighting was, which she stated to be her dream to be the greatest fencer in all of Europa. Kalinka remarked that she was fighting in the name of her brother, her friends, and her new allies, as she drew her sword. Berbie called for both combatants to fight. The battle started as an ordinary sword fight, until Kalinka started to float around Ferfou, outmaneuvering her. Frustrated by this, Ferfou began to cast her Haste spell, putting Kalinka on the back foot. H.A.U.N.T. encouraged Kalinka from the stands. Seeing that Ferfou was willing to use magic, and remembering her encounter with Feddie, Kalinka began using her telekinesis to push Ferfou away. Ferfou caught up to Kalinka with Haste and cast Stopga to disarm Kalinka, knocking her sword out of her hand and threatening to stab the vampire. Cyrus cried out, and Kalinka reacted by becoming intangible and going through Ferfou, causing her a painful psychic aftershock. Kalinka then attempted to push Ferfou out of the arena to win with a ring-out, but Ferfou used (A MOMENT IN TIME) to stop time before this could happen. Ferfou took note of the frozen Kalinka’s headdress and attempted to shatter her gem. Perhaps out of sheer willpower, or due to having sensed Ferfou’s intentions somehow, Kalinka’s psychic might allowed her to break through Ferfou’s stopped time. No longer holding back, Kalinka unleashed a psychic pulse, pushing Ferfou out of her way. Kalinka’s hair came loose from the sheer power of the pulse. As H.A.U.N.T. celebrated, Kalinka unleashed an intangibility barrage on Ferfou and then lifted her into the sky with telekinesis, before pushing her enemy out of bounds with a vertical psychic blast, which exploded into the shape of a bat. Berbie announced Kalinka as the winner due to ring-out. Kalinka brought a distraught Ferfou back to the arena safely, and after realising that her opponent did not know of the risk to Kalinka’s life and had no killing intent, she reassured Ferfou that her dream didn’t have to end here. She also remarked that, if H.A.U.N.T. were to win, she’d think of something to help her out. The match formally ended with a friendly handshake.
