Roleplay
The announcer's voice was heard from the PA system. "Laaaaaadies and gentlemen! With the next fight of the day, we have Zerofuse taking on Nathan!" The crowd was getting pumped.

Zerofuse came into the arena hyped up. He demonstrated a few of his abilities to impress the crowd. He make fireballs in his hands and launched a few in the water to create a huge screen of steam.

Nathan came to the ring on his cloud mount from the entrace. He went to his side before jumping out. While falling, he spun, summoning his claws. After that, he landed on his side. He then saw Zerofuse. "So, you're my opponent." He said, knowing he was certainly his opponent.

Zerofuse without hesitation shot two fireballs at Nathan. "And you're my opponent." He said, walking slowly towards Nathan while shooting more fireballs.

Nathan dodged the fireballs. "I guess you take the chances of first attacks. But here's my first attack." Nathan said before raising his hand while dodging, shooting a thunder on the sky, causing more to fall near Zerofuse.

Zerofuse put his hands in the air, creating a large circular fireball. He shot it in the air vertically and once it came in contact with thunder, a large explosion happened.

However, after a thunder made an explosion, the others came after it, some missing, and some alming at Zerofuse. Nathan took the chance to go to Zerofuse. However, he circled around him, shooting Zap Paralyzes, quick and small jolts that would paralyze if he is hit.

Zerofuse quickly dashed forward, encasing himself in a shield to avoid major damage.

Nathan noted Zerofuse had a shield, so he decided to shoot a charged thunder to him. He charged energy on his hands, then shooting a strong thunder to Zerofuse at high speed.

Zerofuse's shield faded away right before the thunder hit him. Zerofuse quickly shuffled to his side, but was clipped by it. He took some damage but shrugged it off.

Nathan took the chance to run to him, so he ran quickly to him and then when he was close, he attempted to slash him. If he missed, he would continue to run anyway, but he would attempt it again.

Zerofuse fell backwards intentionally. He then did a leg sweep at Nathan, trying to trip him. If he was successful, he'd send a few fireballs his way. If he missed, he'd be vulnerable.

Nathan was hurt by the sweep, and tripped. However, he noted Zerofuse was about to send fireballs, so he quickly got up and sent some electric spheres, which would explode in contact with the fireballs.

Zerofuse had instinctively shot fireballs, not knowing electric spheres were coming his way. The explosion annoyed Zerofuse. He then ran at Nathan.

Nathan prepared to counter, but running at Zerofuse. The counter would vary depending on the attack. If Zerofuse attacked directly close up, he would dodge and counter from his back. If it were from a distance, he would dodge and throw an electric sphere.

Zerofuse then shot a blast of fire at the ground, propelling him vertically. He was then falling down towards Nathan, waiting for Nathan's move.

Nathan noted that Zerofuse propelled him up. So he decided to shoot a thunder to him while he was on the air. He was still moving so he could dodge an incoming attack.

Zerofuse reacted quickly, canceling his ascension. He quickly sent another circular blast of fire at the thunder. However, he was now falling down towards the ground.

Nathan saw that Zerofuse was falling, so he started to run to him, ready to dodge any attack that he sends to him. When he gets close to Zerofuse, Nathan will try to slash him.

Zerofuse moved his arms in front of him, crossing them in an X position. He then gathered energy right before Nathan would slash at him and moved his arms down to his sides. This heated his body up and generated a large, fiery explosion, potentially able to cause serious harm if Nathan was close enough.

Nathan noted that Zerofuse was gathering energy, so he started to run away from him. But it wasn't at time, but not late either, so he suffered a medium amount of damage. He was thrown to the air by the explosion, but managed to get up quickly. He just stayed there, waiting for an attack, while he taunted Zerofuse, "Get over here and attack me directly, unless you're scared." He was hoping that brought him at an enough distance to pull out a counter.

Zerofuse got a bit aggravated. Furious, he put both hands in the air. He held them there, a large fireball forming. He then threw it at him. The size of the fireball blocked Nathan's view behind the fireball, so Zerofuse ran at Nathan behind the ball of fire. Catching up to the fireball, he ran through it. This separated the fireball, creating two of them. Zerofuse then aimed a punch of flames at Nate's cheek, hoping to knock him out. If the punch were to miss, the two fireballs would add some extra firepower.

Nathan managed to dodge at the last moment by jumping back quickly, and managed to counter by going directly to Zerofuse and slashing him. However, he could note that fireballs were coming his way.

Zerofuse started to glow a bright red color and coiled up into a ball, revving up a spin dash. As the spin dash got more intense, flames were starting to come off of his body. He then pushed off the ground and sprung forward, lunging at Nathan. As his body was still glowing red, he raised his body temperature. He was making himself so hot, the temperature in the room was raising. Zerofuse was now virtually untouchable. If Nathan decided to strike Zero, he'd burn himself. If he were to use an object on him, it would most likely melt/disintegrate. However, Zerofuse was tiring himself out and his body was now deteriorating.

Nathan didn't had much options. So he tried to do something. He put his hand on the floor, and started charging energy. When the energy was full, he summoned an electric wire. The wire sprang him up to a high altitude. He would avoid the attack, but instead of levitating down, he would just let himself fall, taking some recoil damage from the fall.

Zerofuse wasn't prepared for that reaction, so he hit his face on the floor and slid. The force of the hit was enough to lose Zero's concentration of the fireballs. The fireballs dissipated. Zerofuse got up groggily and looked up. He wanted to end this early, so Zerofuse put his hands close to the ground, lighting the floor. "That'll show you." He said, knowing he'll catch on fire.

Nathan was catching fire, but to avoid the floor, he had to simply levitate. He was levitating, and started discharging energy with higher force than the fire, so the fire on him dissipated. He continued like that, and started boosting through Zero on an attempt to tackle him with the energy he has. If he missed, he would go to the pond to electrify it and to recover some energy.

Zerofuse was starting to get a bit angry that Nathan wasn't getting hurt. He saw that he was coming at him so he decided to do the same. Zerofuse charged at Nathan, his body lit ablaze.

Nathan took the chance and prepared his claws to attack Zerofuse while dashing. If he hit him, it would cause enormous damage, since he would attack while dashing. If he missed, though he would be still dashing, but he would be vulnerable.

Zerofuse shot fireballs at Nathan, trying to burn his as he dashed.

Nathan dodged the fireballs, then accelerating, preparing to tackle Zerofuse instead of slashing him. The speed was so high he could pass through some projectiles without being harmed. If Zerofuse took the hit, an explosion would happen, causing extreme damage capable of knocking him out, but Nathan would also suffer damage from the recoil.

Although Zerofuse wasn't the smartest fighter, he figured out what Nathan was doing. Zerofuse then rolled into a ball and began to do a spin dash. He did this quickly and launched his self himself at Nathan. If Nathan collided with him, Nathan could have a high chance of getting knocked out. If he reacted quick enough and dodged Zerofuse, Zerofuse would attempt to shoot a large blast of fire to try and overpower him.

Nathan managed to react to what Zerofuse was trying to do. He quickly turned, his feet looking at Zerofuse, then slammed his feet at Zerofuse when he was close. If Zerofuse was hit, Zerofuse would have a high chance of getting knocked out.

Zerofuse was hit. He skidded to the side after failing to recover. He rolled over and lay flat on his back. He got up dazed at bit, but shook everything off. Zerofuse laughed. "Nice moves, man." He said, wiping a bit of blood off his cheek where a cut formed.

Nathan, after hitting Zerofuse, did a backflip and landed. He looked at Zerofuse, looking that he was bledding. "Looks like that attack did really cause you some serious damage." He then raised his hand, shooting a bolt up. Then, thunders came crashing down towards Zerofuse.

Zerofuse put his hands up, creating a flimsy barrier that blocked the thunder. He soon dashed at Nathan, careful to avoid anymore oncoming thunder.

Nathan waited for Zerofuse to come, with the intention of countering his attack. If he threw a projectile, he would dodge it.

Zerofuse ran close to Nathan, but did a quick stutter-step and cut to his right. Zerofuse then ran circles around Nathan, a ring of fire surrounding him. Flames were rising at a rapid pace. If Nathan were to exit the circle, he'd be burned pretty badly. If he were to stay, the air would be sucked out of his lungs while he burned.

Nathan put his hand down on the floor. He used Electric Claw to spring up again. He then levitated, falling slowly, moving out of the ring. While falling, Nathan fired Zap Paralyzes at Zerofuse, which would paralyze him. If he hits Zerofuse, he would walk to him while shooting more Zap Paralyzes, then slashing him with his claws.

Zerofuse qucikly dodged all but one paralyze. He was clipped on his left arm. "Damn..." He muttered to himself. His arm was left useless until he got the feeling back, however long that would take. Zerofuse was forced to use one arm and he was now on the defensive.

Nathan, after landing, took the chance and started dashing at Zerofuse. He would feint, pretending to attack with his left arm, then sidestep to the right before quickly attacking with his right arm.

Zerofuse fell for the fake and took the slash on accident. "Argh!" He yelled as a sharp pain filled his arm.
