Roleplay:Tigeroan Colosseum

This is a special RP...PLEASE READ THE RULES CAREFULLY

UPDATES-PLEASE READ
If you wish, you may [in the waiting room area] Have Regyst [counter cat] send a challenge to any character of any other user. If the user says he/she declines, you gain 50 points. YOU WILL LOSE POINTS IF I THINK YOU ARE SCAMMING [or whatever the word is]

You may now ask Regyst [counter cat] to battle any veteran of your choice [my original charas, ones that don't have Battle Style as a heading on thier page. Soon these chars will also belong to the colosseum category.] If you win against the veteran, you will gain an additional 1000 points, and a special item. Good luck, as the veterans are vyer tough.

THe Tigeroan Collosseum is famous for it's many different way of battling, and the many people that battle there. Now, all of Mobius is admitted to join in the intense battling.

This is a battle-strict RP. Except for the waiting room, where you register, it's battle only, and does not travel outside the collosseum. There are no divisions of good or evil.

Please leave a link to char. THe char must be on this list to battle.

Based on strategy, skill, damage amount, finesse, and wether you win or lose, you get points, wich ar counted in [] next to your name. With these, you can buy weapons and items THAT CAN BE CARRIED TO OTHER RPS. Your aim is TO KILL YOUR OPPONENT. This is because the Green Tigeroan Dragons are on hand to ressurect. All battles are done UNDER DIFFERENT HEADINGS THAT WILL NOT BE MOVED. The waiting room, where you go to register for battles, WILL NOT BE MOVED EITHER. You may start off once you put your character's name up there. You start in the waiting room. THIS RP WILL NOT MOVE OUTSIDE THE COLLOSSEUM. A few rules:

NO SWEARING/CUSSING IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM.

NO ARGUMENTS WITH OTHER USERS. [problems directly to me]

WAITING ROOM:
[example]

[char walks up to desk. He asks cat at desk for a particular course. a new heading is created for this battle course. the battle stays in that heading until cleared or failed. points and possibly a rank are added once course is over]

[start off-Tigero]

In a flash of light, they appeared. The three were strange, oddly colored, oddly marked, and they had wings, or something similar. The tallest of the three, a white one with green markings in the shape of flames stepped forward. "My name is Decebal. I've come to join your competition. Special course, please."

[tigero-don't need signature up]

"okay.....Special....there ya are. Decebal. And here ya go.

It had been a while since Saizo actually did any fighting... far too long. Still, he wasn't one to suffer from loss of form so easily. Looking around the inside of the structure, the tall man glanced at the roman-esque architecture, obviously stolen from the Greeks, and marveled at its finesse; the walls looked glossed over, the craftsmanship was astounding, but it didn't let him get distracted from the task at hand. Making his way to the desk, he placed his hand on the desk, tapping his fingers on the desk as he looked at the courses; only the normal and YuGiOh courses intrigued him. Still, he came here to fight, not play cards.

"Erm... Hi." Saizo said; half of his face obscured by his mask while the other was partially covered by his bangs, he smiled at the cat behind the counter. Granted, the smile would reach no one because of its obscureness. "I would like to sign up... to... hmm..." He could see the receptionist getting a bit impatient, but he finally decided. "The Tigeroan normal match, please."

"ah, you too? Had a telekinetic-lloking guy in herer earlier, same match. Alright......."[saizo feels himself teleport]

Night:I'd like to go to the first stage please

Regyst:Well, you're new. 'course, most everyone is, we just opened. Let's see...Yer up against Calicundra. He's a swordfighter. Good luck! [night is teleported]

Saizo had made his way back to the waiting room, but was astounded by the amount of energy he had to use. It's good to see new fighters take the stand. He sat in the waiting room, then noticed that there were still places for matches. He felt he didn't need the Emeragan for the next fight, so he approached the desk, and came across the same receptionist.

"Ah, hello again." Saizo said with a smile, abscured as usual by the mask. "I'd like to sign up for another Tigeroan Normal Match please." It seemed awkward for him; it was probably apparent to every spectator that Saizo was abnormally strong, but yet signed up to another normal match.

"okay. That's Arkindai. See ya." (J is seen inside the room, waiting to be registered)

[the counter cat looks at him with a birght look]

Regyst:Well, my freind, what are you waiting for? Christmas? haha, get up here and choose a course!

J: [slightly startles] Uhhh... sorry, I'm new here. [walks over to choose a course] Okay, let's see here....

Regyst:Well, there's your regular course list, veteran challenge, or freind challenge [see above for regular course]. I'm happy to help, if you have any questions!

J: Hmmm... veteran challenge sounds nice. [cvhooses the veteran challenge course]

Regyst:okay. Give the comp a minute to randomize. Oh, and ready yourself...The veterans have theri own category for a reason. Ah! here we are...Scipirum the Seven Seas Admiral...Pirate, in shorter terms. You ready?

J: [nods to Regyst]

Regyst:okay.Here you go...

(Then, all the shadows in the room swirl into the center of the floor, and Kairu the Bat steps out.)

Kairu: Where do I sign up for the Yu-Gi-Oh Challenge? I'm running low on ass-kickage, and I need to refill!

Regyst:Okay....And a one two three...Arkinduil is your challenge

[Kairu is teleported]

Grakius:I'd like to try the regular stage please

Regyst:Okay. Give the comp a minute, it's acting screwy ever since the doughnut crumbs got in it.

Grakius:1st head:Let me try[pulls out mallet and taps it]Try now

[teh computer shakes a little bit, thena panel opens in the back. Before he knows it, Grakius is covered in doughnut crumbs]

Regyst:hey, it's working now!

Grakius:First head:Your welcome:Second head:alright who am i facing

Regyst:That would be Vyrovyro. Good luck

Grakius:3rd head:Well im waiting

[Regyst smacks the computer, a doughnut box flies into the 3rd heads mouth, and they teleport]

SYMERISS VS. DECEBAL
[he is teleported to a large ringed room. 4 green dragons are behind the audience, one on each area of the ring. Opposite to him is a female siamese]

Siamese: I am symeriss...You are my opponent...And you will be defeated.

Decebal: Is there a bell, or do we start wailing on each other as soon as we want?

"actually, there's me"

[Tigero, the colosseum lord, appears above them.]

Tigero:Your aim is to kill your opponent. The green dagons will ressurect you. No superforms. Most abilities are allowed. You may begin

[The siamese creates an armor of ice around herself]

Decebal: Interesting. [Decebal's jewel, wings, and markings begin to glow as he rises into the air.] But cryokinesis is hardly a match for telekinesis.

[Decebal extends his hand and fires of a wave of telekinetic energy.]

[the siamese twirls to the side, sending a blade of ice in return]

Symeriss: never underestimate your opponent!

[Decebal catches the blade in mid-air with his mind.]

Decebal: Never do. [Decebal fires the blade back, then flies straight at Symeriss.]

[Symeriss catches the blade and sends it back. This time, it exlodes when it gets near]

Symeriss: And never underestimate a technique. Many have died to that folly.

[A glowing shield surrounds Decebal, catching much of the shrapnel, but leaving him with a few scratches.]

Decebal: You've been underestimated a lot, haven't you?

[Not stopping his flight, Decebal continues forward until close enough to deliver a melee punch.]

[Symeriss grabs decebal's fist in her palm, and digs her claws in]

Symeriss:Yes. I have. I'm thin, I'm female, and i play with ice cubes. people underestimate that.

Decebal: I'm sorry to hear that. In my travels, thin females are some of the most ferocious fighters I've seen.

[Decebal grabs her wrist with his free arm, then lifts her into the air and throws her.]

[her claws are dug in deep, bringing decebal with her]

Symeriss: Agility is what does it for thin people. Strength for thick. Females are'nt recognized for anything, though. That's why i;m here. To disprove that!

[she sends ice down the flesh she cut into]

Decebal: I hope those dragons do more than revive. That is some serious frostbite.

[His hand numb, Decebal unleashes great psychic force, allowing the claws to rake right through his skin.]

[symeriss lands on both hands, quickly returning to her feet. She blows an icy wind toward Decebal]

Decebal: In many worlds, women are considered inferior, in some they are little more than pets, but never have I considered them anything but my equals. I am glad to have such a powerful opponent.

[Decebal lands and raises both arms, letting loose a barrage of psychic bolts, each landing like a well thrown punch.]

[Symeriss manages to dodge most of them]

Symeriss: You know how to use your ability well. Every opponent here is powerful. Tigeroa is a continent of fearless fighters, devoted to thier leader.

[Symeriss starts up a blizzard]

Decebal: If people as powerful as you are subservient to anyone, that person has power to rival the Authority.

[Decebal recreates the telekinetic shield for protection, then begins to psychicly gather snow and ice shards.]

[The ice shards begin fighting his control, influenced by Symeriss]

Symeriss: we choose to follow him. If it was his choice, he would'nt even have a palace. We chose him.

[Decebals crystals and markings glow brighter as he overcomes the ice's will]

Decebal: Seems odd to force leadership on a person, but if that's your custom.

[SYmeriss continues to mentally fight]

Symeriss: not su much force. We just convinced him. He was partially intrigued anyway.

[The markings and crystals glow brighter and brighter, and Decebal is clearly struggling, yet continues to fight.]

Decebal: Lucky man. I wonder in how many world it is you in command instead.

Symeriss: probably none. I prefer anonymity in those areas.

[the ice continues to fight by Symeriss]

Decebal: There are bound to be a few. The beauty of the multiverse is that everything possible exists somewhere along the axis of probability.

[The glowing reaches its peak as the entire blizzard is caught in the mental duel.]

Symeriss: i suppose.

[Decebal can sense a slight shift in Symeriss' mental pattern]

Decebal: (Thinking)Now is either a good time to let go or a good time to pull as hard as possible.

[Decebal stops fighting Symeriss' pull on the ice.]

Symeriss: Wrong choice!

[the ice rips at Decebal in a whirpool]

[Decebal closes his eyes, ignores the pain, and goes into a meditative trance, causing the glow to start again as he's lifted into the air.]

Symeriss: [thinking] He does'nt have much time left before he dies. The ice is ripping him apart...So what is he doing?

[symeriss keeps a deadly hold on the ice]

[Decebal's eyes open dramatically as he forces the very air out towards Symeriss, flinging many of the ice shards along with it.]

Symeriss:not good...

[symeriss is sent flying across the ring by the blast. She lands safely, however]

Symeriss:grrrrrr....

[Decebal charges forward again, this time keeping a cushion of psychic energy in front of him.]

[Symeriss stares straight at Decebal]

Symeriss:nno matter where we come from...A female has on epower...attraction...physically...or magically!

[an Attract hits decebal hard]

[Decebal hesitates and begins to falter.]

Decebal:[Thinking] Remember Manisha!

[Decebal hits Symeriss hard, a blow much like that of a Honda Civic.]

[symeriss' ice armor takes the blow and shatters, and Symeriss continues focusin attract]

Decebal: That's something women are known for. But your magical attraction is no match for the way I feel about Manisha.

[Decebal extends an arm, catching Symeriss' limbs telekinetically.]

Decebal: Your species, what's fatal?

Symeriss:if you are asking what is fatal to Tigeroans....Then you ask a deadly question.

[Symeriss blows ice from her mouth]

[The ice impacts on the telekinetic shield, startling Decebal, but not breaking his concentration.]

Decebal: Time to take a shot in the dark.

[Decebal begins to lift Symeriss into the air.]

Symeriss: You don't stereotype me, and you are a powerful opponent. For tihs, i will tell you this: If you meet one called Raeverai, keep manisha strong in yur mind, and aoid eye contact....She is a master of what i failed at.

[Symeriss' fur stands on end and fires at Decebal like needles]

Decebal: Thanks. I'll remember that.

[The shield fails, but Decebal's concentration stays true. Upon getting Symeriss at what he judges to be an acceptable height, he not only drops her, but telekinetically pushes her down into the ground.]

Symeriss:You forget i'm a cat of tigeroan breed. we, like non-anthro cats, can land from great heights without harm. True, you're pushing me, but the damage...

[she lands on the ground, the shock dropped by landing correctly. she does wince, however]

Symeriss:will be minimized

[she fires a ray if ice at Decebal's feet]

[Decebal cries out, the numbness in his feet seeming to replace the numbness that once kept him from feeling the wounds on his hand.]

Decebal: Forgetting had nothing to do with it. I had no idea cats did that.

[Decebal fires another telekinetic bolt, aimed at Symeriss' stomach.]

Symeriss:gah! rrr...yeah, cat's have some surprises...for instance, that did'nt knock me over because my tail balanced me.

[Symeriss drops to her paws and begins racing around decebal in a circle]

Decebal: [Thinking] She just told me something she shouldn't have.

[Decebal closes his eyes and focuses on a single area in Symeriss' circle, waiting for her foot, which he then catches.]

[Symeriss digs her claws in the ground once she feel sher foot caught]

Symeriss: woah...close.

[Decebal telekinetically pulls Symeriss toward him and into a Haymaker punch.]

[though it hurts, Symeriss bites her opponent's fist, and sends ice trhough it]

Decebal: And now my hand is numb again.

[With great effort, Decebal lifts Symeriss, physically, and slams her into the ground on his other side.]

[Symeriss does'nt let go, instead thrusting her claws into her opponent's chest]

[GAH! Decebal coughs up lightning blue fluid, which may be what serves for blood in his kind. The same fluid leaks from his open wounds, including the new ones on his torso.]

Decebal: Touché.

[Decebal coughs again, and his markings and crystals dim to a normal level.]

Decebal: [weakly] but you've underestimated me.

[The markings and crystals flash blingingly for a moment, as Decebal telekinetically pushes all matter away from him.]

Symeriss: [as she is pushed away] I never underestimate. I just take an oppotunity!

[she stops a few feet from him, digging into the ground]

Decebal: I thought that would work.

[Decebal collapses, not dead, but unconcious.]

Symeriss:you and me both....ugh.

[wounds previously hidden by thick fur now become evident on Symeriss, and she faints as well.]

[the dragons heal them, and decebal finds that he is concsious, the frostbite and damage completely gone. Symeriss stands opposite to him, also healed]

Symeriss:we tied. I think you would have won, had you stayed concsious a little longer.

Decebal: Telling all the atoms in the vicinity to sit down and shut up takes a lot out of a guy. So, what happens next?

Symeriss: we get points according to five categories. By the way, the colosseum lord there? that's the ruler i was talking about earlier.

Tigero:A second, and i will announce the points.

Decebal: Seems like a nice guy.

Symeriss: he is. but like any tigeroan, he becomes very dangerous if his freinds are threatened.

Tigero: in the category of finesse....How elegantly a move is executed....Decebal earns 300, Symeriss 350. In damage amount, an equal score to both of 200. in strategy, an equal 400 for each. in skill, decebal 350, symeriss 300. equal 100 to each for final category. 1450 equal to each. Good job, the both of you!

Decebal: As good a score as I've seen. You fought well, Symeriss.

Symeriss: as do you. your telekinesis is highly advanced. you may even reach a telekinetic power point half of tigero's. Anyway, your course lasts for four more battles. as does mine.

Tigero: im guessing that's a yes to symeriss' continuation. Decebal?

Decebal: If my other opponents are half the fight she was, it'll be worth the pain. Count me in.

[tigero nods, and decebal feels a heavy mental pulse teleport him]

Decebal VS. Virlash
[when he regains sight, he sees a large yellow Tigeroan bird, and axe in each of his four wings]

Decebal: I am Decebal. It appears we are pit against each other. I wish you luck.

[the bird twirls the axes and speaks in a rough Highlandish accent]

Virlash: och! Virlah' dinnae need loock, mah bonnah lassah! Ah been here all mah life!

Tigero: You should both be familiar with the rules, so i won't repeat them. Virlash, the highlander axemaster. And decebal, the telekinetic. you may begin!

[Virlash begins twirling the two rear axes speedily, the other two held defensively in front]

[Decebal sends a psychic bolt aimed directly at Virlash's head.]

Decebal: If it weren't for Manisha's translation field, I would have no idea what you just said.

[with amazing speed for something so bulky, the axe flashes in front od his head and deflects the bolt]

Virlash: och, these haer arent annae norhmal axes, mah lahssah.

Decebal: I can see that.

[Decebal rises into the air.]

Decebal: And neither of us is an ordinary opponent.

Virlash:och, annaewhun haer yooshalee izzent, mah lahssah.

[feathers fire from his wings, aimed at Decebal's limbs]

Saizo VS. Maekyn
[Saizo is inside a large ring. opposite him is a red fox in ninja apparel]

Tigero: The rules are simple. No superforms. most abilities allowed. your aim is too slay your opponent, the dragons will revive you. Saizo and Maekyn...Begin

[the fox is still and silent, but watching saizo carefully]


 * Saizo wondered to himself about what the announcer meant by "Super Form". What was a super form? Well, other than the obvious itteration that it makes you powerful. Did that also include Saizo's Bijuu? Eitherway, Saizo didn't want to drag this out for so long, so he made a step foward, and smiled at his opponent. of course, it was obscured by his mask. "Well..." He said to himself, while drawing a kunai from his pouch. "Let's have a good match." The kunai itself was spectacularly different from other Kunai; it was golden and had an odd seal on its blade. He threw it to his opponent, watching carefully at what he would do.
 * [teh fox ignores the kunai, instead drawing a katana made of black steel. The fox is once more still]
 * This somewhat baffled Saizo; it was aiming straight for the Fox' forehead, and yet all he merely did was draw a Katana. Saizo still waited on what this fox would do. Saizo placed his hands together, waiting for the fox' next move... the katana intrigued him; it reminded him of the Muramasa that was able to control shadows, but that sword was destroyed long ago. The kunai drew ever closer, until finally it came within several iches from the fox' skull. What would he do?
 * [the fox's shape becomes distorted for a split second, and the kunai goes through thin air...the fox a few feet to the side]
 * "I see..." At that moment, Saizo disappeared in a blinding flash of light to where the Kunai currently travelled only a foot away from the fox; Saizo's hand seal was used for the Flying Thunder God Technique. Upon reappearing, Saizo grasped the Kunai out of midair and attempted to swing backwards towards the fox' temple, aiming to pierce him through the skull. Summers was amazed at the Fox' Flash Step, but it wasn't something he hadn't seen before.
 * [the fox's arm snaps behind him, blocking the blwo with the katana, wich makes a hollow sound as it hits]
 * This was getting more interesting by the second. Saizo chuckled as he found an opponent who was capable of parrying his Flying Thunder God. Of course, that was just a test attack; if one could survive the feint, then the opponent was obviously skilled; something Saizo hadn't seen in a long time. "You're good. But how good are you really?" Saizo withdrew a second Kunai and flung it behind him upwards. Doing the handseal again while still holding back the katana, he performed his technique again, appearing in the sky, severeal meters above the ground, and with that he flung several more kunai in a fan motion towards his opponent. Whether or not they hit him or not, it already sealed his next move.
 * [the fox taps the blade with an equally black shuriken, and disappears]
 * Saizo quickly descended to the ground, landing upon on knee before getting to his feet. He looked around and wondered where his opponent went. Although invisibility was a good strategy, it wasn't all that great against Saizo. "Oh come on now..." Saizo looked around, thinking whether or not he should remove his mask. "If you have to rely on stealth, then try not to waste too much of my time..." As he spoke, he withdrew the abnormally large katana from his pauldron; the blade itself spanned a length of seven feet, but his strength allowed him to wield it like a pen. "This should work...


 * [black dots begin appearing in the sky above Saizo]
 * Saizo looked up, notcing that the breaking of the wind patterns above him were of abnormal amounts. He noticed small object flying towards him. "... Shuriken?" Saizo jumped backwards from the area of impact; a distance of ten feet would mean that nothing from that trajectory would catch him unless they would be guided by a secondary source.
 * [they turn out to be shuriken, as guessed. but upon impact with the ground, each on turns into a copy of Maekyn.]
 * Saizo was intrigued, but he'd faced clones before; a simple hit would disperse them, otherwise the energy needed to sustain them would be tremendous. Secondly, each clone only had the divided skill of the original, as is what he knew from experience; whether or not that was the case he didn't know, or even cared. Saizo circled them round the left side, keeping an eye on them, with his katana idle by his side. He didn't let go of his caution towards the surrounding area thoughl if the guy could teleport into the sky, he could teleport back down to the ground. However, Saizo did look at their feet; if there were shadows being cast, then they were real; if not, then they were merely illusions.
 * [strangely, all except one casts a shadow. each one draws the black katana]
 * Saizo glared at each one, especially the one that didn't cast the shadow. He had his own theory, but he would keep it to himself until it was a correct guess. Saizo decided to simply walk in calmly, perhaps working to lure them into a sense of false security, then as he got close enough to the one who didn't cast the shadow, he quickly took an upwards swing with both hands at the fox; perhaps this was the real one? he held his hands tight on the handle of the sword, with his hands overlapping eachother.
 * [the illusion disappears, to be replaced by a katana at his trhoat, behind him. Maekyn speaks in a thin, wispy voice]"That works....Every time...
 * "Oh?..." Saizo muttered; although his hypothesis was not correct, it still didn't change the fact that he had the upper hand regardless of what stunts his opponent tried to pull. "So does this..." In an instant, Saizo disappeared and ended up behind the fox, his own katana at the left side of his opponent's neck; he deliberately circled to the left side in order to come in close contact with his volley of shuriken, which acted as a safe spot to teleport back to when needed. Of course, his opponents where a few meters away from the spot, but as his opponent vanished behind him, he was directly infront of that spot. Stretching out a single hand, Saizo used some of his chakra in order to manipulate four of the seven kunai that were on the ground, and used them to surround the fox. "It's not often that I don't want to kill someone... but this is an exception. Just give up; it'll hurt a lot less..."
 * [strangely enough, the fox begins laughing, then speaks again] "do you really think i vould be that incautious? No, no, I am still very much safe...But vhere am i? Have you figured it out yet? hehehehehehehe....
 * "It really matters not where you are..." As Saizo figured, this was not him, and so proceeded to decapitate the clone. He lowered his sword, and decided to use these four kunai to create a four point trapezium around himself to cover all sides of his person. "The moment you decide to show yourself will be the biggest mistake you'll make."
 * [the foxe's wispy voice sounds from all around] "hehehehehehe....You better guess. i don't need to show myself to kill you. I have a large number of failsafes in place...Made during that time you wasted with the first Kunai."
 * "Huh..." Saizo closed his eyes, then began to think... kill him... "It's been a while since I was last killed... or even contemplated on being killed..." Saizo clenched his hand around his mask, wondering whether or not was it really needed; he was having too much fun in this fight, and didn't want to end it quickly. "I've never faced someone so scared of me before... it's a shame someone as powerful as you has to resort to hiding..."
 * "nice try, but no kunai"
 * Saizo chuckled at the thought that his opponent believed it was a rouse to lure him out; what Saizo said was the gospel's truth; it sickened him that there were people who had to resort invisibility to win... not that it would. "Fine then... if you believe you can kill me..." Saizo planted his katana into the ground, then hopped atop of the hilt, looking fowards to any direction. "Then give it a try..."
 * "why should i be so hasty? I'll wait 'til I'm sure of my next move..."
 * "Hmmm... that's fine." Saizo said, rather impatient of his opponent's lack of fighting prowess. "I look forward to your next smoke and mirrors trick."
 * "smoke and mirrors? I assure you that the only thing i am using for this is my katana....hehehehehehehehhehe."
 * Saizo merely shrugged at the comment; whether or not he could take his word for it or not, it didn't matter to him; if his entire strategy relied on a single weapon, then it wasn't a problem to him. Whether or not he had any other multitude of tools to aid him in his plan was also nothing to be bothered about. Saizo sighed as time flew by, and began to grow bored. "I came here looking for a good fight..." Saizo said, in a rather stern voice; it had been X amount of years since he last got into a fight, but this just made him want to go to sleep. "But all I get is a rodent who does nothing but Houdini disappearing acts and tough talk with no bite...Also..." Saizo looked around, noticing that the majority of the damage on the battlefield was done by his hand. "I've yet to see you take any initiative... So I'll allow you to take the first move... unless you're scared?" It was a taunt on Saizo's part; something that was unorthadox to him, but if this carried on the way it was he would sooner just leave the ring than carry out such an empty charade.
 * "things...are about to get vrey intersting"[as the fox says this, several shuriken slice into Saizo's back from below somewhere]
 * Well, that was interesting... Saizo didn't so much as wince at the shuriken; he'd been hit by far worse. He merely looked down at the ground. "I see... you're hiding in the ground..." Saizo knew the technique fairly well; one merely projects their then incorporeal body into the ground and can traverse it freely, while still maintaining a physical form, much like noclipping. "Reminds me of the Headhunter technique..." This couldn't of been such a coincidence... he and his opponent knew a degree of ninjutsu, and were paired up, despite the fact that no one has heard of Saizo in the last 30 years. "I guess I can stop playing around for now..." Saizo hopped off his Katana and quickly removed the giant pauldron that covered his entire left arm, as well as his top with the buckles strung around it. Underneath revealed a hardened, spiked, jagged carapace over his left side. "It's not often I like to reveal my looks... but this is a fight, so I can't moan about it..." He raised his left arm and suddenly clenched his fist. As he did so, the area where the shuriken flew out from blasted upwards; rock and dirt flew for several meters around the new large crater. "I don't believe I need to use my Eye against you... but I wonder if you can handle the powers of a Demon."
 * "you'll have to find me first. Where am i? I'm in plain sight...if you just know where you need to look."
 * " I wonder..." Saizo took his Katana, and looked around for a while. Suddenly, without any notice, he jammed the blade into his own shadow. "I see you like to mess around with shadows... I've seen it before, but not anything like this. But, if you believe you can even come close to defeating me with such lame tricks, then you must have too much confidence in your own power."
 * [it's not his own shadow, but Maekyn's] "hehe....you hit. but am i hurt?[Maekyn rises from the shadow, the katana blade bent and warped]"hehehehehehehe...[he draws his black katana]
 * Saizo remained silent. It wasn't often that he would draw onto silence; a sign in which that he embraces his demonic-like personality traits. he merely lifted his katana, and pointed straight at his opponent. He soon spoke, however. "I've faced much stronger people than you... you are merely a fragile skeleton who has to rely on the element of surprise to gain an advantage... I can tell that you are not versatile in a head on confrontation..." Saizo then lowered his sword, and then tossed it aside, leaving himself only with two kunai. "So I'll give you a chance, before I enjoy tearing your body in half..."
 * "i think it is you who may want to rethink. I can see you are demon. But can you see what i am?[he removes a sleeve, revealing dragon scales]"i am hlaf-dragon."
 * Saizo merely looked. he snickered, and then chuckled, then into a full blown laughter of hysteria. He stopped for a moment, able to control his urges of humor. "Hah... is that all? Half dragon?" Saizo thought to himself for a moment; this fox didn't know half the story of Saizo, and in that itself, Saizo still had the upper hand... but Saizo soon spoke out; but not to his opponent. "Announcer!!" His voiced boomed throughout the ring, gaining the attention of all around it. "Read me the definition of this so-called "Super Form"!"
 * [the fox speaks first]"what you concieve to be an announcer is our colosseum lord.
 * [the cat then speaks] Any type of different form taken that dramatically increases power, usually obtained trhough some enregy or emotion.
 * [the ofx then speaks again]do not underestimate me.
 * "What a shame. You won't get to see exactly what you're going up against..." Saizo merely nodded, then walked over to his opponent. "You won't know what hit you..."
 * "i seriously doubt that. Half-dragon means something very different here. Because the dragon species here are different.[he sharpens his katana on hiw scales] beleive it or not, you do not have an assured victory
 * "... you think so...?" Without even a moments notice, Saizo had appeared directly behind his opponent, but continued to walk away from him. "Your powers will not match that of the ethereal plains. You'd might as well just give up now before I erase you from this life that not even those pathetic dragon medics can bring you back."
 * "you really are full of yourself." [the fox flies on the air with blinding speed, flames following behind him in the sky]
 * "That's because you don't interest me as an opponent anymore. Everything that you have done I have seen before, and done better. I've had more battles than you can even count to. Why would I not be full of myself? You on the other hand..." Saizo turned to the fox, looking at him fly. "So young... so fragile... only to have your pride be destroyed by someone like me. It saddens me... a shame that you try so hard to appear strong, only for me to break that image." Saizo grasped at the mask on his face, and tore it away from him, revealing a glistening emerald eye in his eye socket; a pattern spinning on its surface, as well as a very demonic face covering his entire left side. "You've already shown me that your abilities are mediocre at best. I no longer want to waste my time with you..." He turned to look at the fox, not even bothered about his speed; the eye made it as though he was moving at normal speed.
 * "i will teach you to respect the name of half-dragon." [his clothers burst from him in a multicolored blast. His face has the ears straight back, and the muzlle staighter than usual. his fangs are serrated, and dragon whiskers are on either side. dragon claws burst from black gloves, and from his shoes. his tail is a fox-dragon hybrid, and scales cover his whole body.] "half-dragon. That is what i am. And you WILL repect that!" [the katana glows with the same color as his prismatic scales, and he comes toward his opponent]
 * "... this must be a super form..." Saizo wasn't bothered if the announcer would declare a verdict on the fact that this was considered a super form. "You don't get my respect; you will earn it." Saizo watched as the dragon sped towards him... well he believes its fast due to the corralation between the opponent's true speed and how fast it appears to Saizo. He took a single step fowards, and as he did, a blinding flash of moonlight erupted, knowing that it would catch his opponent off guard. As he did, he appeared next to the fox, and then thrusted his claw across his face, making four scratches across it, trickling with blood. "Sorry to say but you don't impress me..." Saizo grinned before using his own energy to push his opponent away from him. "That could of been fatal... but I want to see what this power of yours can do. Show me."
 * [the cat speaks] i heard you. that is not a super form...that is what he looks like under those robes of his.
 * [the fox turns his head towards Saizo. the scales are scratched, but there is no blood]"respect it yet?"[he allows to wings to unfold, then uses the points on the middle of the wings in combination with his claws to slash Saizo]
 * "In your dreams, maybe..." Saizo extended a single finger, which began to glow a faint white aura as though his energies were violently rotating around it. "Vibration white finger technique..."
 * [upon seeing his finger glow, Maekyn extends his wings to catch himself. He then gathers prismatic energy in his claws]"Dreams mean more than you think in this continent."
 * "It's good that you stopped..." Saizo released the technique; the glow disappearing the the energies dispersing and fading away. "That attack would of ended your existence..." Upon seeing the Fox' attack, he used his energy to manipulate the kunai from before, making all five of them attempt the pierce through the opponent's back. "And dreams are merely dreams; nothing you can accomplish."
 * "repeat that to the colosseum lord someday. You will be handed instant defeat. [he flips backwards to avoid the kunai, blocking one with the katana]
 * "If he would prove to be a better fighter than you than I would gladly do so..." It was a cheap knock at the Fox' fighting skills, but it was worth saying it. "You've shown me this form of yours and yet you do nothing but sit idle. have you come to the realization that you cannot and will never be able to win? For 300 years I have seen wars, turmoil, death and anything else you can throw at me... and yet..." Saizo smirked, looking directly into his opponent's eyes. "You have no idea what you are going against. The amount of times within these last few minutes I could of attacked you and beaten you leaves me to believe that you are so clueless... and yet you still talk tough. Well then, come attack me. if you dare, that is."
 * "these times you say you could have attacked me, still my scales are there. This is no form. This is how i have always been.[he charges prismatic energy through himself and his katana, making the blade shine and become transparent. He then curves down to Saizo and attempts a thrust at his emerald eye]
 * "You can't fool my eye." Saizo delivered, and stepped to one side as the Fox glided past him. Saizo grasped him by the head, and stared directly into his eyes. "Not bad... but not good either..."
 * [Maekyn's tail zips up to thrust into Saizo's chest, while his wings unfold and trhust upwards toward his neck]
 * Summers extended his right hand and caught one of the wings, while he merely shiften his body to the right slightly so that the other claw on the wing and his tail struck his hardened demon skin. The skin scratched slightly, much like what happened to his opponent's when Saizo tried to scratch through it. Saizo kept a strong look, before suddenly his opponent was engulfed in blackened flames, said to burn for seven days and nights until nothing is left. "Amaterasu." With that, Saizo tossed the young fox away, watching as the blacked licked higher.
 * [Maekyn, however, gets back up]"i warned you...Respect the name of half-dragon. I don't know what dragons are like where you come from. But dragons are very different here. This is not over yet, my opponent.[the fox curve-rushes his opponent, slicing the katana toward his chest in a hook]
 * "And still..." It was faint, but Saizo still could make out that his scales were starting to burn away. "The black flames of Amaterasu; the flames that burn everything to ash; not even the fire-retardant stomach of the Fuji Mountain Toad can withstand its temperatures. Within minutes you will be reduced to ash. If you give up, I will extinguish them." As the fox attacked, Saizo merely did what he did before; he turned slightly so that the sword scratched against his skin and then sidestepped away from him. "I congratulate the fact that your scales will protect your body from Amaterasu for this long, but soon it will not make a difference. Just give up now..."
 * "hm. Battles end. Fine then. One sacrificial move."[he becomes completely coated in prismatic energy and flashes, freezing time. He then drills into his opponent. when it ends, the prismatic energy discharges into Saizo, but the fox's body is destroyed in front of him]
 * It seemed over... was it over...? Yeah, but who died? Of course, Saizo's opponent died, but Saizo was left in a state. Or so it seemed. Saizo collapsed to one knee, but after the battle, he was... unscathed? he looked up, but one of his eyes were closed; his left eyelid had a small seal over it; the Kanji for "Seal" was placed over it. "hah... Izanagi..." Saizo stood up, clenching over where the attack would of hit. "A technique that makes any negative consequences merely an illusion to me... by transferring myself into an ethereal form, the attack did not affect me... at the cost of losing the ability of my left eye... but that's fine..." Saizo knew that, although a member of Uchiha blood would have the eye seal forever, he was not, and thus the effect was not as harsh. "Such a reckless move... and yet... in the end, he got my respect. Good show, rodent." Saizo joked, and smiled. He went over to his belongings and picked them up, traversing towards outside of the arena. "Seems like I win. I look forward to my next opponent soon."
 * [Maekyn appears in front of him, healed, with green ribbons trailing him. Saizo feels healing energy course trhough his own body as the dragons work]
 * "you were...Intersting to fight. Few beat me. I'm one of the best first-rankers here, besides Virlash. Tigero should be awarding points now...
 * "hmmm...such an interesting battle. For finesse, Maekyn 400, Saizo 350. For strategy, Maekyn 400, Saizo 300. For Skill, equal 400. For damage take, Maekyn 250, Saizo 350. Final category, Maekyn 100, Saizo 500. Final score comes to Maekyn 1550, Saizo 1900. Very good.
 * [the cat jumps down] Most intersting. I take it you both wish to continue?"
 * [Maekyn speaks]"yes, of course. This, Saizo, is ou colosseum lord, just so you know. goodbye.
 * [Maekyn is teleported by a mental signal from the colosseum lord]

Night VS. Calicundra
[night sees a calico cat on the other side of the ring, holding a single silver blade. The cat is silent.]

Tigero:No superforms. Most abilities allowed. You may begin!

[the cat is unmoving]

Night:Uhh where am i

Tigero:the ring. You're battling Calicundra over there.

[Night pulls out a dark sword]

Night: Ok time to get serious. When do i start

Calicundra:he already said to begin, my freind. En guarde!

[Calicundra rushes forward, bringing his sword down in an arc towards Night's neck]

[Barely dodges but gets cut in the neck]

Night: Oww better than I thought

[Jumps and points sword down at Calicundra]Night: Raaaaaaggggghhhh

[Calicundra hols his sword up, blocking the blow and bouncing Night backwards]

[falls on floor]

Night(thinking): I need a better strategie. AHAAA

[Trips Calicundra and grabs both swords and stabs down]

[Calicundra's tail balances him so he does'nt trip. He does, however, swing his sword in a wild circle, hoping to behead night]

Night: Close but not close enough[looks down to see a cut]. Mabe a little closer than I thought.[Pushes Calicundra while stabing his back]

Calicundra:gnh! Okay, try this one on for size!

[he feints to Night's middle, then brings it overhead, but this also turns out to be afient as he cuts down at Night's leg.]

[Screams in agony while stabing Calicundra's leg]

Calicundra:Graaaah! YAH!

[the blade whirls in a silver arc, before shearing Night's spines off]

[Does the Matrix so Calicundra cuts nothing but chest hair]

Night: Thanks ive been meaning to get a trim[Stabs Calicundras chest]

[Calicundra copies his opponent's move]

Calicundra:eh, my fur was getting thick anyways.

[He flashes his blade toward NIght's blade]

Night: Guess i underestimated you but never again[steps on Calicundras tail and stabs spinal cord]

[Calicundra twirls to the side to avoid the stab, his sword whirling towards NIght's head in the process]

[falls on floor semingly unmoving]

[calicundra leaps back several yards]

Calicundra:....did i win?

[Body disapears behind him]

Night: Nope[slices Calicundra in half]

[Calicundra manages to dodge, but recieves a deep cut]

Calicundra:Gah!...You would have been succesful, had you been silent! [he rushes forward with several complex trhusts]

[Falls dead this time for real]

Calicundra:.....................I actually killed him....I feel sick....[sits down]

[gashes barely bleeding anymore]

[the dragons heal the two, and Night finds he is alive. Calicundra still feels sick]

Calicundra:urgh....I don't.....I did'nt.....

Night: YOU YOU KILLED ME (under breath) this isnt over

Calicundra:i know...Urgh....

Tigero:Finesse earns both of you 300. Skill 300. Strategy 100. Damage take, Cali 200, NIght 150. Cali 500 for win, Night 100 consolation. Total comes to cali 1300, Night 950.

Tigero:Do either of you wish to continue?

Calicundra:NO! [he runs out of the ring]

Night: I would

[Tigero nods]

Tigero:Okay. That's...Symeriss next.

Night VS. Symeriss
[night faces a Tigeroan siamese with ice armor on her]

Symeriss: hedgehogs. Basketballs where i came form. Not me, though.

Night: NO MERCY

Symeriss:none expected.

[She sends a freezing wind toward him]

[Shivers]

Night: Careful with that you could give some one hipothermia

Symeriss:Oh don't worry. You'll get a lot worse than that!

[she sends a ray of pure ice at his chest]

[Dodges]

Night:Try this on for size. HIIIIIIIIIIYYYYYYYAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Throws ball of dark energy]

[she twirls to the side]

Symeriss:So, a darkness user. I wonder what else you can do.

Night: Time to brighten things up and BTW i dont just do darkness

[Body shines almost as bright as the sun then tries shooting another dark ball]

[The light refleacts off her ice armor, directly into night's eyes. She then blocle the dark ball with an ice ball]

Symeriss:Look at me, i can shine too.

Night:AHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

[A dark laser comes out of nights hands]

Symeriss:AGH! You hit hard...Take this one on for size!

[She fires spears if ice at him]

Night: I have to say the same for you but hope this doesnt hurt but of course it will

[Fires annother ball at ground creating a rock slide]

[Symeriss counters the rock slide with a massive mountain of ice, covering thee stadium in an icy maze]

Night:You think ill escape?Haa!

[Throws a dark javelin]

[The javelin breakes open a hole into a complex tunnel system. Ice is all around him, thousands of different passages, and no sight of Symeriss]

[Darkness surrounds night and destroys the maze]

Night:Here kitty kitty kitty want some meow mix

[artemis-that was my olf username...meowmix5....]

[Ice cuts deep into Night's back]

Symeriss:Behind you, spikemouse.

Night:If you wanted it that badly just take it [shoves it in Symeriss's mouth then they explode]

Symeriss:Ryaaaaaah! Yuk! DIE!

[Sharpened hail covers the whole stage, and a cluster of it rushes at night]

Night:My kitty loves it

[blows hole in Symeriss]

Symeriss:Sorry, spikemouse. Already spat it out!

Night:While you were calling me spikemouse i shot you with a dark ball in the stomach see[points]

Symeriss:I never took my ice armor off, Spikemouse.

[she creates a lance of ice, and rushes toward Night]

[Does same thing with darkness]

[the lances destroy eachother]

Symeriss:One final try...

[Night is hit by a strong Attraction]

Night: I never realized how beu-[shakes out of it and creates another lance then throws at her head]

[Symeriss twirls to the side, still focusing strong on Attract]

Night:Must resist cant hold back.[Creates a flood of black water which works like quicksand]Now is there anything youd like to say.

[Symeriss tilts her head, on ear half-cokcing. She smiles, putting one last strong burst into Attract]

Symeriss:Maybe...

[continues resisting]

Night:Like what

[the ice puts a beutiful sparkle to Symeriss. Under the black flood, the water freezes around her feet]

Night:I wouldnt do that cause you brek it you fall straight down the bottomless pit[P.S. you said the name of the flood]

Symeriss:I would'nt break it...

[Symeriss' eyes glow as she tries harder, though no strain shows on her face, only icy-sparkling fur]

[Makes water thicker and stronger]

Symeriss:*stops*Congratulations...BUt if you meet one called Raverai, you'd be helpless. Never eccpet a battle with her. Anyway...

[She curls herself into a tiny ball, and freezes herself over]

Night:Wait!What?

[the words echo in his head..."never accept a battle with Raeverai, you'll be helpless"...]

Night:I think ive got a headache. [To tigrero]Did i win?

[tigero points at the ice-ball]

Tigero:Close. But be careful. She's executed quite a move before after curling up like that]

[Breaks ice with darkness]]

Night:Youre very clever ill give you that

[the darkness pings off and rebounds toward Night]

Night:OWWWWWWWWWWW

[Sidesteps ice ball]

[the ball begins to quiver]

Night:LETS END THIS!!!!!!!!!!Ladies first

[the ball continues to quiver, he sees energy gathering under the surface, and the ice looks delicate]

[Creates sheild similar to a knights with darkness then brakes ice]

Night:Fight like a... fight like your life depends on it

[when he breaks the ice, a massive explosion ensues, ripping his shield apart and blasting him badly]

Night:Aghh that... armor...of yours its... a sign.... of cowardice which is why i wear none

[Throws a dark arrow]]

[the dark arrow hits a destroyed Symeriss]

[Proceeds with caution as well as with anothr arrow]]

Tigero: Skill 300 for each, finesse 350 symeriss, 200 night. samage take 350 night, 200 symeriss, strategy 400 each, 500 night for victory, 100 consolation for symeriss. Night wins!

Night:My first win. May i have annother match with Calicundra next time he shows up

Tigero:That's up to him. I don't think he'll be around for a while, though. Poor cat...

Night:HES POOR I HAD NO IDEA

Tigero: a first kill is hard on some. Continue?

Night:Depends who im fighting

Tigero:Next is Perpyro.

Night:Ok when do i start

Tigero:now!

Saizo VS. Arkindai
[Saizo now faces Arkindai, a brown Tigeroan breed of cat with an energized quarterstaff]

Arkindai:Saizo Marushagan, the demon. we meet.


 * Saizo took a momentary bow at his opponent as a show of respect, but didn't like the fact that people took an interest in him. "Half demon, if you may..." Saizo corrected the cat. He looked at the staff the cat was carrying; if it was a quarterstaff then surely his opponent was a well verse martial artist. "That's an interesting weapon... I assume you can manipulate energy with it?"
 * Arkindai:I can do much more than that. Arceus once called me by a different name. "rewynk yf llyi". Or, "knower of all". Everything you have done since you came here, i know. And more besides.
 * [Tigero speaks]"you may begin, as you are familiar with the rules."
 * "I see..." Saizo sighed, and looked down to the ground, then back up again. "I've never believed in such Godhood. I've always believed that one paves their own path in life. I won't allow you to crush that philosophy." Saizo walked towards his opponent, not caring of what danger this man may pose. He drew a kunai from his pouch and held it reverse and next to his chest. "I wonder if your magic can keep up with my speed."
 * [his opponent smiles]"i should ask the same thing. Time for your test, shall we?
 * [he sends two rays from eitehr end of teh satff. One is Pure Energy, the other holy energy.]
 * Saizo watched closely as the staff emitted the energy before firing it off, using the Moon Body Flicker to create a blinding flash of light, while stepping off to the side, and proceeded to sprint towards his opponent while the light potentially blinded him for several seconds. As he got about half way between the two points, he launched his Kunai at his opponent's head, aiming for a temple shot, and granting a one-hit kill.
 * [The kunai continues, his opponent no longer in it's path. Arkindai's voice sounds several yards to the right]"too slow, I'm afraid.But good, very good.Let's try question two"[With that,Saizo can hear the crackle of electricity as Arkindai fires a thunderbolt]
 * Not phased by the opponent's quick movements, mainly due to the fact that his last opponent was quick as well, Saizo took another kunai and dropped it to the ground before the lightning could strike him; using the kunai's composition of gold, the electricity was heavily attracted to the weapon, using it as a lightning conductor, and then earthing that electricity into the ground when he kunai landed. Saizo bent over and picked it up again. "Your skill with elements is... impressive. However, your skill will not surpass my knowledge."
 * "impressive knowledge of conduction. Question three..."[pillars of rocks comes from the ground in several places, streaking towards Saizo]
 * "Huh... that's new..." Saizo watched them and quickly took note of their pattern, then dictating the distance between each pillar, he hald out a hand in a claw like fashion and moved a couple of meters fowards; a rock pillar shot upwards, with Saizo's hand grasping the edge of it, shooting him upwards. With momentum, Saizo let go, soaring through the sky and flung several of his kunai towards his opponent; each one glaring off the sun, aiming to blind his opponent for a brief moment.
 * [Arkindai narrows his eyes and his pupils become slits. he smiles]'Very clever. I did not expect you to use the pillar that way. But since you're up so high...[he quickly deflects each kunai with the staff, sparks fly as he does] let us move on to question four" [a strong wind blows toward Saizo]
 * "Excellent." Saizo muttered to himself. With a few handsigns, he used his energy to create a small vacuum just infront of his mask. "Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique." Blowing hard, he blew a large ball of fire, the same size as his body, which only doubled in size once the gust of air struck it, making it more intense and, like a meteor, was heading for Arkindai.
 * "I've been waiting a long time for an opponent as smart as this. Finally!"[four pillars shoot up around Arkindai, close on him, and shoot back into the ground with Arkindai]
 * "I'm not gonna put up with this disappearing crap again!" With that, Saizo headed straight for the earth, with his hand aboved his head in a karate shop-like fashion. Landing on the ground at extreme velocity, the struck at the ground, shattering the earth into two halves for as deep as the eye can see, while large shunks of the earth began to shatter and erupt from the ground as though an actual meteorite had hit the earth. "Misogiken... The Purifying First..." He stood and looked around, looking at the amount of rubble he had created, waiting for his opponent to show of some sign of vitality. Saizo thought to himself that if his opponent was still encased in that rock, the movement of the earth would of surely crushed him.
 * "lesson five:Things are not always as they appear"[Saizo can hear ice spears being shot at him from high above]
 * "I see..." Saizo looked up and quickly executed another Fireball Technique in order to melt the spears of ice. He waited for a next move cautiously; his fireball was in the way and thus wasn't able to see if his opponent was truly in the air or not.
 * [the fireball is torn apart by an energy blast, to reveal Arkindai sitting on a cloud]"Impressive power. Extensive knowledge. Good technique. It looks like you may have a chance at hitting rank 5. Good for you. Now then, what else can you do?"
 * Saizo smirked under his mask and looked at the confident opponent. "My technique does not rely on head-on attacks, but as counters and combinations; C&C to put it short. You however..." Saizo unsheathed the sword from his pauldron and held it loose. "You are impressive; the majority of my fights have been against other melee fighters and not magic users so... going against you is truly a step forward for me." Jumping quickly, Saizo bulleted through the air towards his opponent, aiming to slash him in half from his cloud. "Maybe head on will be good against you." Secretly, Saizo dropped a Kunai from his pouch in order to establish a counter if needed.
 * [Arkindai stands up and blocks the blow with the staff. Energy surges through it, channeling trhough the sword into Saizo]"I am not just magic nor melee. I hold a balanced skill between the two."
 * Saizo placed his feet on the cloud, and as the energy began to flow through Saizo, although was damaging him, he was then transferring this energy back into the cloud, causing a constant cycle that, although was causing Saizo some damage, would not do so if it continued to surge through his body as its final stop. "I see... I wonder how good your melee combat is..." Saizo's sword began to quickly cut into the staff, noting that within seconds if this continued, his sword would cut right through it and then, through his opponent. "Think fast or die."
 * [Arkindai grins] well, you DID ask.[a powerful blast of fire and wind slams into Saizo from Arkindai's mouth, the cloud dissolving at the same time as Arkindai's staff uses the energy to boost Arkindai away]
 * Saizo flew several meters backwards through a cloud of dust and black smoke, watching his opponent being pushed back as well. Saizo smirked, noting that he may have finally found a decent opponent. Vanishing back to the ground, he grasped at the kunai and the others that had been recently used, and threw them in a fan-like motion towards his opponent. Then as they met him at the same altitude, stopped them in mid-air. "Your pain shall be legendary." Closing his fist, each kunai were headed straight towards his opponent and different sides, aiming for his vital areas; jugular vein, heart, temple, liver and kidneys.
 * "will it even be?"[Arkindai quickly creates an energy shield that floats there. THe kunai strike, sticking in the shield but not penetrating]
 * Saizo smirked and, at a glance moment, appeared inside the bubble, with a handsign at the ready. "Certainly." His hair grew quickly, and then turned into that similar to steel, and quickly flayed out in several direction, forming huge spikes that extended to every quare inch of the barrier, definately striking his opponent. "How do you like the taste of my Needle Hair Technique?"
 * [he sees his opponents face in the energy of the orb;Arkindai apparently merged with it. He then reappears on top]Very good, very good, it appears i forgot to keep you out. Ah well.[the orb quickly contracts]
 * Saizo tutted before reappearing outside of the orb alongside Arkindai, placing a hand on his shoulder. "Oh come on, cheap tricks like that won't work on me. But, this orb isn't big enough for the both of us." With that, Saizo merely shoved Arkindai off the orb; not even serious about the moment, Saizo laughed. "I claim this Orb in the name of the Moon Village!"
 * [Arkindai looks amused as he slides to the bottom of the orb and hangs there, still with both feet on the orb]"Since you claim it, i shall let oyu know that one of it's features is it's own center of gravity to those immidiatly on it" [Arkindai takes one of his whiskers and inserts it into the notch on his staff, somehow reparing it]"much better"
 * "I see..." Saizo holds his hand high, charding a lot of energy within it. "I'm not particularly fond of it though." Striking the orb quickly with another Misogiken, the orb shatters and a huge shockwave erupts in the air, causing Arkindai to black downwards towards the earth. "Back to the fight at hand..." Saizo said, dropping from the sky, though not nearly as quickly as his opponent.
 * "gravity...I tire of it. Hm![Arkindai's staff lets out a bright glare, and the both stop falling]"well now, that's better. My stomach agrees, i think.[he holds the quarterstaff in a ready position]
 * "Oh well, that's okay then..." Saizo raised his hand, and as he done so, the seven Kunai he used raised and circled around his opponent; five has surrounded him, while there one one above and one below him. "Can you handle this?" As soon as he finished, he teleported to one Kunai, then took a speedy slash to his opponent; he then teleported to another Kunai and did so again, then again, then again, at random kunai and quick intervals, watching what Arkindai would do.
 * [Arkindai rythmically blocks each blow, his staff giving off a hollow sound each time]
 * As each hit struck, Saizo could notice the blade cutting deeper and deeper through it; it wouldn't be too long now until the staff finally cleaves in half, while at the same time utilizing little to no energy for traversing across such a short distance. Saizo began to strike harder and faster, knowing that in a few moments, the staff would be cut in half. "I wonder how long you will last like this..."
 * [Arkindai smiles] Longer than you think. [the slashes cut into the staff's middle, and immidiatly, a bright sapphire shine comes from the middle.]

J VS. Scipirum Veteran Battle
[He faces a gray cat with a scimitar. He does'nt look like anything special, but there is a dangerous air about him]

Tigero:Superforms allowed, all abilities allowed, you may begin.

Scipirum:You....YOu're new. YOu're gonna die today.

J: [smirks; goes in a fighting stance] We'll see about that!

Scipirum:Let's see how many of your quills i can shave off in a minute. YA!

[he races forward in a blur, and his blade immidiatly cuts trhough the air toward his quills]

J: Heh. [rolls forwards and away from Scipirum (and his quills regenerate) and gets up to his feet]

Scipirum:Haircuts must be pretty useless for you. You can't win this fight, you did'nt even try the smallest counterattack. Prove that you actually have any skill!

J: [smirks] Okay then. But I have to warn you, I won't go easy on you! [he dissapears (caused by Chaos Control)]

Scipirum:I'll slice you the instant i sense you.Choose your move carefully.

(Then, without warning, Scipirum is attacked by a serious of punches and kicks unseen before reappearing again!)

J: [reappears in front of Scipirum] Told ya I wouldn't go easy on you.

Scipirum:*grins*Awww, you tickled me. I'm a pirate, spikemouse. Punching won't get me.

[he thrusts with his blade, his other paw's claws slashing toward his midriff. However, J pulls his large quill from his back (thus regenerating) and his quill clashes with Scipirum's blade and claw!]

Scipirum:So, a blade. If an unorthodox one. But I'm the pirate.

[he executes several complex maneuvers. J easily dodges it]

J: Not bad. But I'm jsut getting warmed up! [opens his hands out] CHAOS MISSILE! [unleashes a barrage of Chaos Missile at Scipirum, inflicting moderate damage]

[Scipirum allows one to hit, then the blade knocks the rest aside]

Scipirum:I am a veteran. Do you know the meaning of that word? It means you have to have superior skill, be able to handle ANYTHING. It means you must be prepared to fight with everything you have.

[he begins hypnotically twirling the blade in the air]

J: ..... [gets ready]

[behind the blade, Scipirum blurs]
