Arena Beta

Malisa was expecting him to retaliate, but for him to work so quickly was very strange. With inertia still on (On Glide), she turned around and continued moving backwards while facing her opponent. She was greeted by his. . . erm, graceful fall and roll into a what one would consider a footstamp. She saw a simple solution to this. Muttering, "Basis and bomb", she first conjured up a spell wall more or less the size of his feet. Using what she already knew about his agility, she placed a sticky trap spell circle (Invisible to all but her) in front of the mirror to the point where she predicted he would project himself using the mirror as a jumping point. It was quite simple, really.

(The next part should be illustrated in crayon) Once he bounced off using ninja skills, he'd get stuck to her trap and then she could wail on him with her most powerful spells. Little did she know about his real abilities. . .

 

Xohka's mask covered his eyes up because of the sliding of his face so he didn't see Malisa conjure a spell. The next thing he knew, he hit something soft.
"Ah! I hope I didn't kill her," he said to himself. Then the ninja noticed that he was stuck in the air. "Huh? What the heck?" He looked through the transparent trap and saw the girl. "Ooooh boy..." Without thinking, he put both of his hands behind him and grabbed his most dangerous weapon.

 

"Stopga!" She shouted, casting the time spell on her foe. "I didn't want any tricks. As an assassin powerful enough to enter this tournament, I'm sure you have like. . . anti-spell talisman boots or something to deal with your profession." Malisa commented, summoning the circle for another Blaze spell. this time, the blast would be a foot in diameter. She charged it up as fast as she could, making sure to stay within the time limit of Stopga.

 

Xohka stopped dead. "What the hell?" he thought. "I can't move. Dang, she must've used some sort of stopping magic.
The girl said,"I didn't want any tricks. As an assassin powerful enough to enter this tournament, I'm sure you have like. . . anti-spell talisman boots or something to deal with your profession."
"Anti-spell talisman? Wow, she is really overestimating my prep abilities. Wait a minute. What's she doing? That's it. Focus...focus...focus... Ah! My head's in a shadow.
He expected that the girl would shoot whatever she's planning when the magic where's off. That will be the first step for his counter-attack.

 

She fired her spell just a few inches below him, dispelling the mirror/sticky trap as she fired. This way, the attack wouldn't be bounced back at her by her own devices. The spellcaster immediately readied another attack, this time aiming her keyblade at the ground where she expected him to be. "We're sorry, but you have the lost the game. Your consolation prize is a one-way ticket out of here!"

 

Xohka immediately Shadow Transfered himself to the shadow. He zoomed from shadow to shadow until he popped out of a shadow 10 yards away from his enemy. With his trained ear, he heard the girl say something rude to him. "'We?' Oh well." He pulled out his kusarigama and threw one end at her as he threw the other one up. Instantly, he used his weapon's chain's shadow to reach a higher bar.

 

"What the-" The witch exclaimed as he appeared to have disappeared. "Okay, this can't be right. I need to rethink my strategy."

Malisa sat down on the ground in a meditative pose, pulling up a barrier around herself while her keyblade disappeared in a blink of light. Because she was much shorter while sitting, it required less energy than if she were standing.

"So, he was able to recover and pull away from my original attacks with great agility. . ."

 

"Huh, wonder what she's doing?" Xohka muttered to himself as he saw the dangerously violent (but cute) girl sitting down. He continued to throw his chain scythe between the lower half of the arena's boxes to make it smaller. When he had reduced mobility in each box by sticking a part of the chain through the middle (all in three seconds), he went back down. He hung upside down from one of the bars above the girl's meditating pose. "Watcha doin' there?" he asked her.

 

"Dazzle!" The spellcaster shouted, summoning one bright flash of light*, then putting eight orbs of light in a 'box' around Xohka**. "I assume you're a shadow user, so this should stop you from going anywhere."
Immediately afterwards, she fired as small thunder spell at the Kusarigama's chain.

*The spell is not one that has any real physical form. It is mainly used for illuminating passageways and consumes a rather small amount of energy to do so.
**They will follow any normal movements he makes. Four float around his upper half, four around his lower.

 

"I was hoping you would heat up my chain*," Xohka said happily. He didn't care about the lights; he usually uses the shadows for ninja rule 4**. The unfazed american-football ninja jumped a few yards away from the spellcaster and sprinted towards her. He pulled his fist back and punched her barrier as hard as he could. The speed he was running at and the strength of his punch created a 250 pound force.

 

His punch indeed shattered her barrier (Although, it was mainly just there to stop anything from directly hitting her- just as she was about to finish summoning another circle. The force of the break knocked her back a few yards. Luckily, she missed hitting her head on a pole. Mid-fall, she conjured up the last circle she was readying, "BASCULE!" The circle appeared under Xohka and placed immense gravity, almost fifty times than normal, on the man. Once he was down, she was back up and brushing herself off, grinning.

My opponent is trapped, the shadows are no longer a threat, and I can end this with one fell DROP!

As an added distraction for the man (in case he did manage to escape), she first used her Balatron spell and switched her normal outfit for that of a rather skimpy lavender bikini, given to Malisa by one of her friends before she left as an effort to get her to tan. This was the first time she'd worn it, but it'd leave her already stunned opponent without a hope. And so, it is with this that she walked over to him, put her keyblade over the field where Xohka was trapped, and dropped her weapon blade down.

 

Xohka felt a force pull him down to his knees by surprise. Luckily for him, he had to carry heavier stuff during training so that he could jump so high so the gravity just put him back to his normal human's strength and speed. "Heh, nice try," was what he wanted to say. During the word "try", he saw the bikini and said," Pfft!!" instead. Then he looked closer. "You seem to be kinda, uh, underdeveloped," he said and pointed at her top half.

 

". . . JEEEEEEEEERRRRK!!!" She shouted, casting Stopga again on the nearby man. "YOU ARE SO DEAD! I AM A B-CUP! A B-B-BLAAAAAAST*!"

With that last word, she finished charging and unleashed her most devastating move - a shockwave of raw mana, currently fueled by her reserves and her entirety of rage. While the bars of the arena were obviously too indesructible to ever be destroyed, it would certainly wreck Xohka - especially since he couldn't move quickly thanks to the lights and the gravity.

*See Wave Blast.

 

The moment he said that, Xohka knew he was in trouble. "Heh, well I guess I have to be serious in the 'loser' part of this tournament." He took of his mask to show a still smiling face, despite his horrible fate. He shielded his body as best as he can to reduce damage, even though he knows it will be useless. The magic froze him and the blast hit him hard.

(Forest is from Xenosaga)

"Where am I?" Ina started to walk on the ground, finding herself in a forest where the skies are dark black. She can hear gunshots from a distance far far away into the city but she dare not to tread there. "Scan shows that this city is under attack." In the forest, there are mostly trees but far up ahead, 20 miles from Ina's starting point is a tall mountain that leads up to a waterfall two miles from it. Pass that is a path that leads to a destroyed church. "I'm suppose to fight my opponent in this place? But why... where's Rafael? Where is my opponent anyways?"

Ghost sat high in a tree, and watch as his prey walked underneath him. He slowly moved without a noise and hun by his feet, he was now behind he by an inch or so. In perfect range of killing, but the mandalorian way was to never kill an unarm victim. As far as he know she didn't have any weapons in sight. Which made it all the more dangerous. She spoke to herself asking where he was. He answered with, "Right here." He engaged his lightsaber and took a swung, then dropped from the tree while disengaging his lightsaber and rolled into the mist to hide his presnce.

 

"Wha..." Ina looked around and shot a pink ball at the direction of the voice but only missed. "I need to get somewhere safe." She started to run on the path, only to see that the mist was getting a little bit more thicker. "Scan!" She started to make her glasses activate and was trying to find out where she was going. "Let's see... he's suppose to be here... I think..."

 

"Why yes I am here." Ghost launched himself up high above the fog. " I also think with that visor of yours, it might increase the effect of this!" Ghost threw his flash Bang very close to her face, in attempt to blind her. He Touched back down on the ground while looking away from the flash bang and threw a different grenade, a thermal Grenade at her feet. He waited for the bang and activated his lightsaber and charged and swung vertically and horizontally, while adding a few combos to the up close and personal duel.

 

Ina allowed the flash bomb to activate, allowing her to deactivate her scan ability. "Teleportation!" She spinned and raised her left hand up in the air, hiding up in the tree before the thermal bomb activated and exploded. "This mist is way too thick. Still, he can't find me if the mist gets thicker. I must hurry and run. he's trying to do a close combat." Ina started to jump from tree to tree, being five feet away from Ghost and stopped to shoot four pink balls in four directions and jumped into another tree, trying to get closer to the mountain...

 

"Hehehe, you can't beat me at my own game!" Ghost activated his lightsaber and deflected the shots. He ran the fog got thicker, making it easy for him to hide. Hr tehn was in front of her, and ativated his jetpack and came out of the mist and slashed the branch next in her jumping path and landed on another a little bit away. He then threw a Thermal dentonator far ahead into the mist. As reinsurance, in case she tried to continue on land, because if she did. That would be the end of her. He leaped down into the mist.
