Roleplay:Trials of Conquest

The Trials of Conquest is a large battle arena constructed entirely of glass and marble; this is one of the main coliseums constructed in order to test the powers and finesse of this generation's greatest warriors. The coliseum was constructed years ago as a training ground for athletes, but after Saizo's refurbishment, it is now what it stands for today; an arena where the strongest of warriors come to prove their strength to the world.

Restriction Notice (Please read first)
There are sveeral restrictions on characters in terms of abilities and such and, in which case, they will be denied to participate in the Trials of Conquest. These include, but are not limited to;


 * Invincible or invulnerable; characters who cannot die, take damage or otherwise have an absolute passive defense will be denied entrance into the Trials of Conquest. This also includes higher forms such as Super Forms.
 * Characters that have instant kill abilities or techniques with no drawbacks or virtually uncountable drawbacks will be denied into this RP.
 * Characters who can do, quite literally, anything and everything will be denied into the RP.
 * Users who have an extensive history with godmodding may be denied entrance into the Trials of Conquest.
 * Characters who have no or very little abilities at the time of a match' creation will have those abilities; this also means that any characters who have no listed abilities will have none whatsoever. However, if a character has no abilities I will be asking the character's author about any abilities, if any exist. If they refuse to divulge information, they will either be removed from the match or the match will continue but with no abilities; in the latter case, if any abilities are used in the match, you will be removed from the roleplay and suspended for a certain amount of time if not indefinitely.

Info, Rules and Regulations (Please read this as well)
A user must first post his character under the Starters section of the fighter's list. Their character must also have a page on this site as reference for various things. They can then post in the Lobby, requesting a certain match, either against an NPC or User. If it is against an NPC, an NPC will be generated according to the skill level chosen (see Skill Levels). If a User is chosen, both participants must accept the match; this can be done through your own Talk Pages, blogs, or in the Lounge section.

All matches are watched over by me (Guyviroth), and all questions or complaints from any parties must be told to me as to avoid any User/User conflicts. There is no strict rules against godmodding or powerplaying, although extensive use will result in penalized points, premature ends to battles or, in severe cases, ban from this roleplay.

The aim of each match is to kill or otherwise incapacitate your opponent to which they concede the fight; this will result in a victory. However, please note that the overall objective is not to win but to develope your skills as a roleplayer, although winning is a bonus. When a character is killed, don't worry; On hand Dragon Clan priests will be there to ressurect you after the match.

Each match is determined on seven categories; Offensive, Defensive, Damage, Strategy, Style, Etiquette and Victory. Offense is the amount of time you spend on the offensive; Defensive is the amount of time you spend defending; Damage is the amount of damage you deal and take; Strategy is the actions you perform in a post to determine your tactics; Style is the length of your posts and the amount of detail in them; Etiquette is the amount of good sportsmanship in your posts such as taking hits, not godmodding, not making up stuff on the spot etc; and Victory is granted if you win.

Each category gives a maximum amount of 200 points, except for Victory which gives a fixed amount of 300 points. However, too much defensive, damage taken and bad etiquette will result in loss of points instead of a gain in points. A maximum amount of 1500 points can be gained per fight.

As you gain more points, you will raise in rank; the higher your rank, the more it shows as a value of your experience as a roleplayer. The ranks are Starter, Amateur, Beginner, Trainee, Practicioner, Advanced, Experienced, Veteran, Artisan, Master, and God. These ranks need a certain amount of points as well as evidence of improved roleplay skills.

There will be no talkplaying on either this pages sections (except for the Lounge) or this RP's discussion page; doing so will result in penalized points or ban for a set duration of time. In relation to this, the discussion page will only be used for any questions one might have about this roleplay or anything in relation to this roleplay, as well as any complaints one may have.

No one is allowed to post in any fight sections apart from the contestants of that fight and me, in case there's a violation of rules or otherwise.

The lobby section must contain only a fighter signing up for a specific match; no talkplay or spam must be posted there.

The Lounge is the only section where talkplay is allowed; however, the top half of the lounge section will be cleared every 2 weeks on a Sunday evening.

When five or more finished battles are present, they will be removed from the Battleground section and archived on a seperate blog page for those to see.

A Character that is owned by one person can be used by another person if given permission; however, if the second party's character challenges the other character to a match, that second character must be controlled by the original creator.

Lobby
I'd like to sign up Krinkinko for Trained. Sonicfan919 21:55, July 2, 2011 (UTC)

"Hm? You must be quite confident," The receptionist, Trey the Mouse, span on his chair and took a small sheet from the cabinet and jotted down the name of the contender. "Newer people tend to start with Starter ranks, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. Anyway, your opponent is called Kyris; a dragon trainee mage who specialized in the Fire school of magic. I'm sure you can figure out a weakness of his on your own. Your match will be up shortly."

I'd like to sign up Cielestra for Starter, please. I'll show you a sweet dream, next night...  22:58, July 2, 2011 (UTC)

"Ah, someone with a head on their shoulders," Trey remarked with a smirk. Kicking his feet off the desk he leaned down under it to grab a form, filling in Ciel's name. "Okay, your opponent is an Ice user, specializing in shaping vapour around him; weapons, armor, obstacles, you name it he does it. Anyway, your match should be up shortly."

Okay I

I'd like to sign up Krinkinko for begginer. I thin I've learned my lesson. Sonicfan919 21:51, July 3, 2011 (UTC)

"Obviously. Good fight though, but the outcome was kinda inevitable." trey wheeled his chair to one of the filing cabinets for another sheet of paper, again jotting down Krin's name. "It's the first time someone had come back after a beating, but it'd be wise to rest for a while before going. But anyway, your opponent is ... oh, a robot. Some old model called E-121 Phi. Not much to say except it apparently has copied some strong moves from previous opponents. Best strategy? Hit hard and fast. Your match should be up soon."

i would like to enter my charcter endac Dragonbane the Hedgehog--You versus me and my Dragons?...bring it! 15:17, July 4, 2011 (UTC)

I'd like to sign up Alasdair for a starter match, please."Like the wind, I'm here and gone again." 15:19, July 4, 2011 (UTC)

Trey looks up to either combatant, but gives a sigh towards Dragonbane. "Sorry but, you'll need to have a character page before you can sign up. When you have one, you need to post under the Starters section". Trey then turned to Alasdair. "I see, then bare with me," trey said before wheeling backwards and grabbing a sheet from the desk nearby. "Okay... so your opponent is a young lion called Konan; he's a young warrior who you shouldn't have much trouble against. He wields a longsword that's nothing special. Anyways, your match should be up shortly."

Alasdair: *stern face* Bring it

Endac: ah got it, already got one though just gotta put it up

there done

Endac: lets do this

"Much better," Trey said with a smirk, grabbing a piece of paper from the desk and jotting things down. "But, you still haven't told me what kind of match you'd like.."

Endac: are you serious *facepalms*

riiiiiiiight, starter

"Should of read the rules and stuff before even coming here, my friend," Trey muttered, not particularly caring for the guy's attitude. "Okay well your opponent is a fox named Jerimiah; a country bumpkin who excels at physical strength. He's pretty quick for a guy of his stature, and it's said his grapples are deadly. With that said, your match should be up soon."

I'm back again ^^" While Ciel is taking a break, can I sign up Yuuki the Litemon for Starter? I'll show you a sweet dream,  next night...  18:22, July 4, 2011 (UTC)

Yuuki: If Ciel can win a battle, then so can I!

"Well, we'll see..." Trey smirked as he grasped at one of the forms from the filing tray to his side. Placing it on the desk he began to write down the information. "Well Yuuki, you'll be facing a tiger named Axel. He's rather cocky for someone of his abilities; just a typical martial artist, although some say he's able to control the powers of fire at some sort of expert level. I doubt he's that hot to handle. Anyway, your match will be up shortly."

A shiny, blacked furred, rainbow spined Hedgedradon walks in. "I want to sign up for a Trained Level Fight" he said. "Night Match if Possible" HS664 Do you feel the Chaos?! 20:08, July 7, 2011 (UTC)

"Well, about time; your name has been on the list since the start and you've only just requested a match," Trey said, sounding impatient. "And we don't open at nights, so... no. But anyway, let's get down to bsuiness," Taking a sheet from the shelf behind him, Trey jotted down the hedgedragon's name. "Well your opponent is strong; likely stronger than you can handle. He's faught here before by the name of Gantt; some say he's the Black Knight. He's wearing fullmetal armor and attacks with a large sword. He uses some form of black magic that corrodes whatever it touches. That being said, have a nice death." Trey smirked as he filed the paper away.

"Why does this always happen to me?. Turbo muttered. I'm ready. (in head) If this black night is powerful I better power down until the match is ready......

Smash vs Gantt

 * The crowd cheers and the applaud revs after the previous fight. However, the next match is up. The announcer takes the stand, trusty microphone in hand, and begin to announce the next contender. "Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to another exciting match here at the Trial of Conquest! Next up is, what we all are wishing for, a supreme match as it becomes Echidna vs Dragon; brawler vs swordsman! I introduce to you first, the Dragon Wave; the Black Knight, Gantt!"

As the crowd applauds, a tall dragon species mobian, cladded in heavy dark iron raiment steps forth; his sword was his most distinguishing feature; the blade is wide and thick with extremely sharp edges, and towered over his already large build; the sword's blade alone was about five feet tall. More astonishingly, he seemed to wield it over his shoulder almost effortlessly with one hand. He swung the sword around his body in a circle before planting it in the ground; being able to wield it like it was a katana stunned the crowd, creating an uproar of screams.

"And the challenger, the Blue Quake, Smash the Echidna!"

At the sound of his name, Smash jumped onto the ring, performing a flip in the air before landing inbounds. He took a few steps forward and took a look at his surroundings. The crowd was pretty excited. Smash felt almost like he was at the Blitz Pit all over again. Quickly, he turned his gaze to his opponent. ''This isn't the Blitz Pit..It's far more dangerous. He reminded himself. Never let your guard down, Smash. ''His gaze was focused on his enemy. He looked pretty tough. Judging by his heavy iron armor, he was probably a little slow. He could use that to his advantage. But he appeared to be able to wield the giant two handed sword with one hand only. It would be bad news if he got hit by that. Focus, Smash..He though.


 * Gantt seemingly glared at Smash in a fixating manner through the cross-shaped opening on his helm. He wasn't about to let someone like him get the best of him. As the match was called to start, Gantt quickly unsheathed the sword from the earth and ran, surprisingly, at a very quick speed as though he wasn't wearing the armor at all. As he got to a minimum distance from his opponent, approximately five feet away, he lashed out with his sword, aiming to cleave Smash in half with it.

Smash watched as he approached him. He was rather surprised at his speed, but kept focused on his enemy. He quickly sidestepped out of the way just in the nick of time, the blade just missed him. He took this as his chance to strike him with a blow, and threw a jab towards Gantt's side.


 * Gantt was well experienced in battle, and this kind of maneuver was no different than what he had seen before. With momentum, he spun around and, turning his sword on its flat edge, bashed Smash' hand away from his body, then came in with a horizontal strike to slice Smash in half at the waist.

Smash instinctivley jumped into the air to dodge, but the slash was quick, and just managed to hit the tip of his boot, causing him to lose his balance in mid-air and fall down face first. He held his hands under him and caught himself in a hand stand. He quickly pumped his arms and sprung himself back upwards, balling his fists together as he flipped and attempted to smash Gantt's head with both hands.


 * As soon as Smash had reared his arms backwards in commence of his next attack, Gantt lifted the sword up infront of him, in which Smash' fists collides with the flat edge of the sword. Gantt then pushed smash backwards with a hefty lunge of his sword, then thrusted the tip of his sword forwards to try and impale Smash.

Just as Smash was regaining his footing, he gasped as he saw the sword coming towards him. Without enough time to dodge, he tried to catch the sword by the edges of the blade. He just barely managed to succeed, slowing the sword down but it still struck him in his stomach, inflicting a good amount of damage to him but none too fatal. His gloves tore from the sharp edges cutting through them. Smash stepped back, his hands still on the sword with a good grip, He glared into Gantt's eyes before making his move. He was making a risky move. He slammed the sword's tip to the ground, and quickly ran up the blade a few steps before jumping at him, throwing a mighty punch towards his face.


 * It was a powerful blow, but that's what Gantt's armor was for, although it didn't do as much as what it was intended to do. The face of the helmet caved hin slightly, but it wasn't enough to cause a crushing impact on his own face. As soon as the punch was delivered. Gantt grasped his arm with one hand, and then grabbed Smash' face with the other, flinging him overhead and then smashing him into the ground with great force, then tossed him to one side several meters away. Reeling from the blow, he sluggishly grasped at the handle of his sword and pulled it from the ground, waiting for Smash to get up.

Smash tumbled a few feet away, then jumped to his feet. ''That could've ended better. He thought to himself as he faced his opponent. Still, atleast I know how strong his armor is now...This guy is tough. I need to think of a strategy...Going in for a frontal attack may cost me my life. Hmm..If I could somehow throw him off balance, that may give me the upper hand. The bigger they are, the harder they fall...the harder they hit, too. Gotta remember that.'' He changed his stance to a defensive position, observing Gantt's next move closely.


 * Gannt looked on at the now defensive-positioned Smash, but he merely relaxed a slight bit, then stood up straight. Holding his large sword to one side, the grasped thr handle with the other hand. In one swift and powerful swing, he struck the sword upwards. "Dragon Wave!" He bellowed; a pitch black wave of energy erupted from the blade of his weapon, traversing towards Smash at an accelerated rate. After the initial swing, he held the sword over his back, almost as though he was delaying a second attack.

Smash didn't waste another moment to leap to the side and roll out of the way. He somersaulted and jumped back to his feet, turning to face his enemy as he appearingly prepared another attack.


 * It wasn't obviously going to connect; a projectile at such distance wuld of been easily avoidable, but even though it wasn't successful, Gannt now knew what Smash' reaction time was like; from there he could judge the distance and how fast he'd have to swing to execute a direct hit, although it was too short into the match to get a 100% prediction. Gantt swung the sword over his head with both hands, smashing it into the ground, causing a powerful tremor as the earth began to crumble and crack in a straight line towards Smash. "Have some of my Tremor Edge!"

Smash lookred at the cracks coming towards him and gasped. The cracks went right between his legs and began to crumble. "C-crap!" He ran to the side to avoid the attack, but the ground crumbled under his foot, causing him to trip. Panicking, He pulled himself into a somersault and regained his footing. He ran a safe distance away from te crumbling ground and looked back at Gantt. "This isn't good. I've gotta get back onto the offensive!" He said to himself "But with him swinging that big sword around, I can't even get close! I need to think of a plan..." He thought about it quickly, never letting his eyes off of his opponent. Then it hit him. ''Wait..If I do that again..that seemed to damage him a bit before. In that case... ''A grin spread across his face. "Now it's my turn!" He charged towards Gantt, ready to give it all he's got.


 * Gantt looked on as Smash was losing his footing from the tremor. He didn't care though; he had already thought of a counter to Smash, because, in his opinion, he was a bit too predictable. He clammed his sword into the ground again as another quake erupted towards his opponent. "You won't escape your fate!"

Smash ran to the side of the crumbling ground, careful not to fall in, but not diverting his direction from Gantt. He ran up to him and threw a punch towards his chest, following up with a sweep kick.


 * It was somewhat tactical but lacking in finesse, Gantt thought. He grasped at Smash' fist as it came towards him and the sweep did nothing except bounce off of the thick armor. He soun around and threw Smash over his shoulder onto the ground behind him, following with an overhead slash from his huge sword; a hit would cut the echidna in half.

Smash landed on his back, wincing in pain. He looked up and saw the sword coming down towards him. Not wasting another second, He rolled to his right, just barely missing the sword. Now on his stomach, he pushed himself back to his feet. I gotta do something about that armor! He thought. ''Only something really powerful would penetrate that. If I don't, I'm just wearing myself out.'' He moved in quickly towards him while his sword was in the ground from the overhead slash, and threw a powerful uppercut towards his face, hoping to knock his helmet off.


 * Gantt didn't think his opponent would roll out of the way so quickly, especially after a heavy slam like that. With full force, the sword cleaved the earth, but was stuck in the ground. he tugged on it before making it move an inch, but not keeping check on his opponent, Smash ended up hitting Gantt right in the jaw. The impact caused Gantt to be sent flying backwards, but at the same time the sword was able to be pulled free, but at the cost of losing his helmet. Underneath could be seen a menacing black and purple dragon; a cyan jewel layed upon his forehead as a symbol of magical prowess, but exactly what element would he command? Stumbling to his feet, Gantt looked on, then simply threw a hand outwards; tendrils and coils of shadow raced towards Smash, threatening to pierce or entangle him.

"Yes!" He said to himself excitedly. His triumphant expression soon melted down. "Uh oh." He ran to his left, not wanting to get caught by the shadows. He managed to steer clear of most of the shadows, but one of them tripped his leg, right after another had sliced a bit of his back. He fell flat on his face. The cut on his back began to bleed. "Ugh..That hurt..." He stood up, looking over towards Gantt. I can't let myself stay down. He thought. ''Even though I got his helmet off, it won't mean anything if I can't hit him afterwards. Speaking of which, He didn't appear to be able to do that before...I know that jewel on his forehead enabled him to use those shadows, but perhaps his helmet was preventing him from using them before? I dunno, stay focused. Who knows what else he'll dish out?'' He got into a defensive stance.


 * Gantt smirked and withdrew his hand. Extending his sword to the side, he picked up his helmet with the point of the blade before bringing it to his other hand. replacing the helmet on his head, he held the sword forwards; runes began to glow a deep purple, with an equally colored veil eclipsing the whole blade. "Feel despair as you wither away!" Taking the sword high, Gantt swung it down to the ground; a wave of purple energy launched itself from the blade at a fairly fast velocity. "Corrosion!"

Dang, I probably should have gotten rid of that helmet first. He thought. He watched as he began to launch his attack, and then dodge-rolled out of the way as fast as he could. He rolled more than a safe distance away, and then got to his feet. Okay, I think I know what I need to do, but it's not gonna be easy. He thought again. Here goes nothing... He charged at Gantt and threw a quick punch towards him. He tensed up his leg muscles more than his arms, preparing for something else.


 * "Fool!" Gantt held up his sword, still brimming with a purple haze, blocking the punch with the side of the blade and then pushed Smash away. Gantt smirked under his helm; Smash' glove suffered from burns, with part of the material smoldering and turning to ash before flaking off onto the ground. "You're lucky you've got some protection. This Acherus Blade possesses the power to inflict corrosion to anything it touches, directly or indirectly. I wonder how you'll survive against this." Gantt took a step back, rearing his arms before tossing the blade like a boomerang.

Saizo vs Vice the Lynx
Vice walks into the arena, the entire crowd very silent, wearing nervous expressions the moment he has appeared. Vice looks around the crowd, smiling at them as though saying some kind of hidden message to them, one which seems to scare some members of the audience. Vice then turns his eyes toward his opponent.
 * The crowd seemed to be quite quiet all of a sudden. The announcer stood up, unsure of what to say. However, he looked up and held the mic to his mouth and spoke aloud. "Gentlemen, it seems that the next contestant wishes to challenge our sponsor to a match. It's unorthadox but he has decided to accept. I welcome you to our challenger, Vice the Lynx, and his opponent, Saizo Marushagan!"
 * Saizo stands, arms folded, looking down with his eyes closed as the audience gave off a slight cheer but mainly just blank stares; who would want to face Saizo in an open challenge? Was the guy just overconfident, being one of those guys who think they're all badass, or did the guy just wanna little sparring match? Either way, Saizo looked up at his opponent, noticing his coat. "Seems like long trenches are popular here." He unfolded his arms and walked towards his opponent slowly before stopping just several meters away. "My name is Saizo. And I will show you the extent of my power. Now, show me your strength."
 * Vice grins at Saizo, ammused by his strange character and his remark. "It would seem so, but long trenches do have their uses. Oh, and my name is Vice the Lynx." *He produces some kind of silver-colored weapon handle in his hand and pushes a black button on it, which produces a 3 meter long blade of electic blue light, a light hum emiting from the weapon. "Let's see what you can do" Vice gets into a modified horse stance while pointing his sword ar Saizo with both hands, getting ready to either attack or defend himself.
 * "Hmmm I see..." Saizo casually drew the sword from his pauldron; it was a rather long blade, roughly 8 feet from blade to handle, and about as cumbersome as a pen to him. He waved it around slowly and a full circular motion before resting it to his side. He then took out a small golden kunai and threw it towards Vice rather quick; it would be difficult to dodge, and seeing as it was aimed right at his forehead, a strike would mean an instant death.
 * VIce sees the kunai coming at him and ducks so it would miss him, almost scrapping his head. Vice then runs from Saizo and starts cutting up the ground and moves the two peices of ground upright, so they're standing up. He quckly hides behind them for cover and loads his pistol, waiting for Saizo to come after him.
 * "Behind you." A voice suddenly sprang from the rear; Saizo had used his Flying Thunder God technique to appear directly behind Vice by teleporting to the kunai flying over his head. Saizo immediately grabbed the kunai and aimed to drive it through the skull of Vice.
 * Vice hears Saizo's voice behind him (Thinking: Damn it!!) Vice quickly turns around and grabs Saizo's hand and tries to push the handle of the kunai into Saizo's head, and grabs his other hand so Saizo can't use his other hand. Vice then charges up an electrical charge in his body and prepares to discharge it into Saizo.
 * Saizo watches Vice carefully, almost smirking at the guy's sudden rush of adrenaline; perhaps he's never been so close to death like this before? Vice pushed at Saizo's hand but he merely applied the same amount of force, keeping the momentum neutral. Saizo then looked at Vice's other hand and did the same thing; he grasped at Vice's hand and, with a sudden jolt, spun Vice the other way whilst wrapping Vice's own arm around his throat, but not applying any choke hold, but gave him discomfort. "You're quite phenomenal; you might actually be a challenge... Maybe..."
 * Vice uses his free hand to quickly grab his pistol from his coat and point the gun behind him, shooting the weapon in where be believes his head is located, hoping he won't have time to move out of his line of fire and be forced to let go of him.
 * It was quite interesting this match, but even Saizo didn't seen this coming. The shot caught him right in the face, but instead of a cataclysmic bloodbath from the wound, all that could be heard was a slight *Kink*, but it caused Saizo to let go of Vice as he reeled backwards, holding the left side of his face. He removed his hand, but there was no blood; just a bullet hole in his mask and what appeared to be a black shell-like hide around his face. "Ah... well that wasn't expected. I shouldn't take you lightly." He dashed in, rather quickly, almost appearing right in front of Vice and took a horizontal slice at his midsection; the attack would surely cleave him in half.
 * Vice draws his other Beam Katana into hos other hand and puts the blads at both sides of his mid-section, blocking Saizo's attack. He then kicks Saizo with his right legs, sending him flying to the ground. Vice then dashes towards Saizo and jumps into the air, pointing the Beam Katana in his left hand downward whiel falling towards Saizo; the attack could end up impaling Saizo if Vice lands on top of him.
 * It seemed like this would be a good match, which was excellent considering the amount of downtime Saizo has had in terms of finding a worthy opponent. Saizo watched carefully, then as soon as Vice was about to drive the blade in, Saizo quickly rolled out of the way; his speed was amazing as well as his agility, being able to move with mere second left to dodge. As he rolled out of the way, he saw Vice's sword sink into the ground, then took the opportunity to make a slash of his sword at Vice's neck. If Vice stayed, the attack would behead him, but if he dodged he'd be fine, but that possibly meant relinquishing one of his swords.
 * Vice, knowing that he'd be beheaded if he stayed in his current position, pressed both buttons on his beam Katanas to sheath their blades and quickly rolled foward on the ground, barely dodging Saizo's attack. While rolling, Vice refused both his Beam Katana's into one weapon, and shot a bolt of lighting at Saizo as soon as he stopped rolling; the attack could seriously injure Saizo and breifly paralyze him, should the attack make contact with him and sent electricity throughout his body.
 * Saizo looked on and noticed the bolt of lightning towards him, so he quickly extended his left arm forwards, allowing it to be enveloped in the electricity, but began to use his own energy to control it; it caused little damage to the carapace on his arm, but he could feel his muscles being affected by it. Quickly, he began to mold it into an aura surrounding his hand, which began to crackle loudly due to the amount of energy in this amount of lightning. He looked at it, and then smirked. He dashed towards Vice, with his hand dragging across the ground as it began to tear the earth around it apart, demonstrating how powerful the attack is.
 * Vice quckly took out his pistol and jumped several dozen feet into the air. (Thinking: So that blue skin of his must act as a kind of armored hide... Well, I wonder how his human skin can handle my attacks?) Vice takes steady aim with his machine pistol and fires at the passing Saizo, hoping some of the bullets will hit his human skin before Saizo had time to dodge the bullets.
 * As Saizo sprinted across the ground, several bullets flew and made impact passed him and below him, but with no notice, he stood still and flickered; having left an afterimage behind him, Saizo was already above Vice, aiming to drive his hand, formed into a karate chop, through Vice's skull. "Lightning Release: Misogi." The Misogiken was a powerful attack in itself, so who knows what damage a lightning powered variation could achieve.
 * Vice, knowing that he ad no time to turn around and counter Saizo's attack, quickly forms an electrical barrier around his body and concentrated to keep the barrier intact from the oncoming force of Saizo's attack. However, the barrier will last only a few seconds, so Vice would have to act quickly in order to get away from Saizo, should the barrier succeed in protecting him from his attack.
 * Saizo instantaneously collided with the barrier, but its spherical shape caused the chop to be redirected slightly, missing Vice completely but also shattering the barrier. Saizo collided with the ground and, from the impact, created an enormous crater; chunks of earth of rock exploded from the point of impact and flew everywhere, while also a burst of lightning struck from the air and created a huge shockwave of electrical energy; anyone caught in it would of been paralyzed from the impact. Saizo slowly got up then turned to Vice. "Lucky break; don't think it'll work a second time."
 * "I'm far from what you would call a "typical" opponent, my friend. You're only beginning to learn what I'm capable of." Vice shoots a ball of electricity in the air, which then floats over to and hovers over Saizo. The ball then starts shooting minature bolts of electricity down towards Saizo, some of them coming right at him; The attack could paralyze various parts of Saizo's body should any of the bolts manage to hit him. However, Vice knew that the attack won't last forever and anyone who was fast could manage to dodge the bolts, so Vice begins to reload his gun and draw back out his Beam Katana and watches Saizo's next move carefully.
 * "Hm. No problem. Behold the power of science." Saizo seemed rather confident, and he had the right to be; he quickly sheathed the katana in his pauldron, then dug the tip of the sword into the ground and hid behind his pauldron, kneeling down; every lightning bolt that struck him his his pauldron, which then earthed the electricity through the katana. After the ball was done and dissipated, he stood up again, and smirked, drawing eight different kunai. "Well, my turn." Saizo burst at a high velocity, leaving behind a sharp bright flash of light, typically blinding anyone who was staring at it, and then laid all eight kunai around Vice in a circular formation before stopping at the first one. "So, show me what you've got."

Krinkino vs E-121 Phi
Thw crowd began to become much more lively; the newer matches were definitely standing out from the more recent ones. The announcer grasped at the microphone, ready to speak. "Ladies and Gentlemen, I bet you're raring for the next match! The first combatant, one of Doctor Eggman's test robots, The Grey Gizoid, Phi!" Boos erupted from the crowd though; it was one of Eggman's robots so no good things could be said.

"And the challenger, the speckled hog, Krinkino!"

(Krinkinko walked up looking more alert than the last match)

The robot seemed to move rather jerkilly; the knee and elbow joints tend to lock up at points, though it wasn't known why. "Initiating Combat Mode... Directive 04; Complied... Begin Combat." The Phi robot seemed to maintain a rather martial-looking stance, unknown as to whom it was imitating, but it waited patiently for Krin to attack.

(Krinkinko summoned about 20 clones and commanded them to attack E-121 phi to attack)

Phi seemed to scan each and every one of them in quick succession. Without much hesitation, its movements seemed much more quick and fluid, deflecting the attacks of each clone easily, even causing them to redirect their attack to eachother, before only a few clones remained, and jumped backwards. Cupping it hands to its side, he began to charge Chaos energy. "Initiate Attack: 05... Launch Iminent... Initiate "Heaven Surge Wave." The robot launched a small stream of bright green chaos energy, decimating the other remaining clones while the blast still carried towards Krin.

(But Krinkinko wasn't in his oringinl spot,he used the clones to by himself some time he was behind Phi and he used a rage punch in an attempt to knock Phi upward)

Phi wasn't able to keep up with the speed, but while trying to turn and fire he took the oncoming punch. However, the lack of control this derived the robot of made the gathered Chaos energy still within its hands explode, blasting both Phi and Krin away from eachother. Phi laid on the ground for several moments before sluggishly making its way to its feet. "Balance systems... restored. Resume Directive... Complied. Resume Combat." Instead of waiting for Krin to show any sign of movement, Phi went to attack the hedgehog without hesitation, aiming to drive its fist through his body.

(Krinkinko waited patiently for Phi to try and punch him then when he was about to punch Krinkinko he caught Phi's fist then threw a punch of his own)

A glimmer in Phi's eyes shone as soon as his fist was caught, then did the exact same motion to Krin's fist, catching it before it could touch his chasis. "CAP Recieved... Download data; complete." Still holding to his fist, Phi hopped back and pulled Krin to hit feet before throwing him towards the wall of the coliseum grounds.

(Krinkinko stumbled back but caught himself then rapidly fired three final Flashes towards Phi he then jumped up high into the air)

Another faint glint of light shone from Phi's eyes, then began to move quickly from side to side, dodging each blast as though he had some privot knowledge of the attack. Following after Krin, Phi lept into the air, soaring slightly above the hedgehog as it aimed to deliver a powerful axe kick to his skull, making him collide back to the ground at a high velocity.

(As Phi was preparing to deliver the axe kick Krinkinko quickly fired another Final Flash at Phi's face)

As the axe kick delivered, it ended up cutting through the beam, striking Krin on the skull with a heavy blow, but the beam still damaged Phi, causing it to fly up and away several meters while Krin was sent plummeting to the ground below. After a heavy landing, Phi is left somewhat motionless; his limbs twitching from short-circuitry, but it was still functioning. Sitting up, Phi began to scan the area through the kicked up dirt and dust from his landing, trying to find Krin.

(As Krinkinko hit the ground he leapt towards Phi at extreme speed)

Phi locked on to the hedgehog, and retaliated with a dash of his own, rearing its fist backwards Phi aimed to punch the hedgehog in the face with heavy power.

Alasdair vs Konan (Finished)
The roar of the crowd could be heard echoing for miles around the coliseum, definitely something that should be noticed. The clapping of hands to the cheers of the voices of the crowd kept going throughout the minutes of wait until the announcer grasped at the microphone. "It's about time for the next match, don't you agree?" A pause was left for the crowd's cheer to fill. "Then I give you the Heart of a Barbarian; Konan!"

The crowd cheered as a rather tall, muscular Lion made his way to the stadium grounds, holding a rather large sword over his shoulders, resting on a hardened steel spaulder. The girls gave out loud whistles at his visage, while he simply smiled back at them.

"And the challenger, Alasdair!"

A fairly muscular Lionolf appears in the arena, holding a Scimitar and Axe, keeping his eyes on his opponent. The crowd suddenly silences at his sudden appearence, pulling of his coat and throwing it aside, his musles rippleing

(He doesn't wear shirts)

Konan hoists the sword from his shoulder and holds it in both hands, watching Alasdair intently before charging forwards without a word, dragging the blade along the floor before quickly slicing upwards, aiming to rend his opponent's body in half with his attack.

Alasdair disappears and reappars behind him, striking him in the head with the flat of his blade, landing easily

Konan quickly thrust his right hand forwards; donned in a fullmetal gauntlet up to the bicep, he managed to effortlessly push away the sword to one side before retaliating with another large, horizontal cleave, with enough force to rend his opponent in half if he did not avoid it.

Alasdair disappears and reappears back in front of him, his sword glowing Cyan and his Axe glowing Red.

Keeping the momentum going, Konan swung around again, but this time dragged the flat side of his sword across the floor, then kicked up a large amount of dirt and dust at Alasdair before jumping backwards, leaving a gap of several meters between the two. "Huh, not bad for someone so puny." It was a bragging taunt really; even though Alasdair was also built quite large, it wasn't much compared to Konan's girth.

Alasdair gets covered in the dust and cant see. "Very re-sourceful. You know what they say, the bigger they are the harder they fall." readies himself, even though he is blind.

Konan smirks, but says nothing; instead a slight *clink* could be heard as a chain hidden within a special compartment in the gauntlet attaches to the hilt of the sword's handle. Rearing his arm backwards, Konan launches his sword towards Alasdair like a spear.

Alasdair block it with his axe and runs across the chain, kicking him in the nuts.

Blocking with his free hand, Konan pushed Alasdair away with a single kick before whiplashing the chain around him, keeping it constricted in the chains. With a large overhead throw, Konan released Alasdair to plummet towards one of the arena walls.

Alasdair: *jumps off of the wall and strikes Konan hard in the head, choping the helmet off*

(If he was actually wearing a helmet that might've worked...)

Konan slides a few feet backwards from the strike but remains strong nontheless. Whipping the chain up again, the sword on the end lashes out like a snake against Alasdair, aiming to impale him through the chest

Alasdair dodges the blow and grabs the sword as is whips back at Konan.

Konan steps to one side and pulls Alasdair towards him by tugging back on the chain as he's holding onto it, and as he gets closer Konan lunges forwards in order to clothesline him, with enough force to probably knock him out or leave some very heavy head trauma.

Alasdair smirks as he raises his now GIANT scimitar like alance and thrusts it through Konan's stomach.

Still on course with Alasdair, Konan couldn't avoid the scimitar, getting impaled through the abdomen but ends up smashing his opponent across the face with his huge forearm, sending him backwards that the scimitar ends up unsheathing itself from the wound. Clutching his stomach, Konan drops to one knee from the pain, but the lack of blood making him feel dizzy. "D...damn..." Clutching his sword, he again throws it at his opponent like a boomering, aiming to slice Alasdair in half.

Alasdair lands hard, dazed, then seeing the sword coming at him, he locks his feet in place and grabs the sword by the blade yelling "I will not FAIL!!!!!!!!!" charging at him, jumping into the air and shoving it through Konan's head.

A sudden sound of clicking fingers was heard, when suddenly a barrier of light appeared between the competitors, with Alasdair running into it and bouncing back. Another two barriers appeared, then another three to each fighter, forming two cubes to contain them before moving away. The barriers seemed to heal them. "I believe I've seen enough..." A voice, Saizo's voice, was heard faintly over the crowd's concerned voices. "The outcome is fairly obvious, but the premature end is bound to a single reason which I will conclude now. Alasdair, you have been granted victory, but the points will now be calculated."

Offense: 120 (Your offense was flawless and unrelenting; what I like to see.)

Defense: 80(You showed little defense but a few counters.)

Damage: 130 (You recieved little damage while your opponent took a lot.)

Style: 70 (Your posts were single lines numerous times, but were not script formatted, so they were somewhat acceptable. The match was considerably short as well.)

Strategy: 90 (Your strategy was somewhat okay; there wasn't much depth to it, but the actions you performed were good.)

Etiquette: -140 (This is where the match falls below expectation; I suspect much of your avoidance and "catching the sword" is down to powerplaying. Also, all of your attacks attempt to autohit; not only is that against roleplay rules but it leads to serious point penalties.)

Victory: 300 (You won the match, so points are granted..)

Total: 650 pts (I suggest you work on avoiding wording that makes you look like you're autohitting. Just bare in mind that continuous use would result in you being denied in the roleplay and, if persistant elsewhere, ban from the site as according to the roleplaying policies.)

Endac vs Jerimiah
Not one for subtlety, the crowd roars with the cries of enjoyment and the cheer of wanting more fighting. The announcer grasps at his trusty megaphone, ready to lay down the next round. "Ladies, Gentlemen, Children of all ages; it's time to get the next round going! I introduce to you both, the Mountain Crusher, Jerimiah, and Endac!"

Jerimiah made his way from the area gates, waving at the crowd as he made his way; bulky and yes for some reason had a sense of agility about him, as though fighting a battle was nothing to him.

Endac comes through the opposite gate and and stays focused on Jerimiah, Black Dragonwings spread open

Jerimiah smiles warmly, shaking his left arm loosely before clenching it lightly into a fist. "Well, aren't ya'll just fancy wit your wings an' all," However, Jerimiah then sprinted off the ground, almost like a speeding train. "But don't take yourself to be a champ, when you're just a chump." The mobian quickly dashed to one side, then again to end up behind his opponent, aiming to clobber him round the back of the head with him arm as though it were a thick lead pipe.

Endac dissapears before hit and appears on a flag rod sticking out of the wall sitting. he mockingly takes a bite out of an apple like nothing happened "i'm not being proud....in fact i despise pride, and forgive me for my next comment but" drops the apple onto the ground and draws his sword "i'm not going to give up though against a western kid who can't even speak proper english" lands on the ground and assumes a fighting stance.

"Ah reckon I don't fancy hearing about your life story, bub," Jerimiah said with a slight sigh. He bent over and picked up to rather large stones and began to roll one in each hand. "But tough talk for a guy who can only run. So..." Quickly, he balanced the stones on the tip of each finger, with the thumbs placed gently over them. "Draw." He flicked both stones with his thumbs at Endac, but the strength in his fingers was immense; each stone shot like a bullter from a magnum; one directed at his forehead, while the other at his chest.

without movement even seen, endac's sword was vertically blocking his chest and his head. the rocks bounced off and hit the ground near Jeremiah from the backwards propoltion "i'm faster than you think kid" he lowers his blade and crouches "now enough talk, battle desides who is better" speeds towards him at ablinding speed with his sword ready to strike.

Jerimiah seemed to enjoy the fight, mainly to show that speed isn't everything. "Oh, not runnin' any more?" Sprinting off the ground, Jerimiah came close to Endac, but instead of striking he slide along the floor, between Endacs legs and grasping hold of one of his ankles, pulling him to the ground before settling into a leglock; the strength was merely stopping the flow of blood at the moment, but with enough pressure he could snap the bone or shatter the leg completely. "Ah reckon you'd better give up."

Endac doesn' even flinch when he gets grabbed. he breaks free easily and crawls away getting the blood flowing back too his legs, then stands up and gets back into a battle stance " try again"

The fox places a finger and thumb on his chin, thinking about what he could do next. It was obvious submissions wouldn't be the ideal course of action, so he then decided to do the next best thing; just piledrive him into anything that was solid. Jerimiah smirked and again dashed in, but quickly spun around to behind Endac and grasped him around the waist before jumping high into the air. Flipping them both upside down, he span at a high velocity, aiming to corkscrew piledrive him into the ground below.

Seeing his plan Endac opens his wings and takes control flying around trying to shake Jeremiah off "good grip control kid but i'm not giving in easily"

Jerimiah didn't mind; instead he began to crush Endac's body with a powerful bear hug, aiming to implode the mobian's back and ribcage as he tightened his grip.

Yuuki vs Axel
The crowd booms in applause and the roar of cheer seems to extend to the far reaches of Mobius; every match they've seen so far recently has had them on the edge of their seats in anticipation of the victor. The announcer takes up from his seat with microphone at the ready. "Ladies and gentlemen, get ready for another exciting battle! Next up is the Fists of Flames, Axel!"

The tiger walked from the arena gates, donned in a red Gi with the sleeves torn away from the arms and near the shins for flexibility; flame-like patterns adhorned the clothing to match his style. He seemed rather cool and level-headed for someone of this visage.

"And the challenger, Yuuki!"

The Litemon entered from the other end. She looked around the arena, impressed with how this place was built. She then looked towards her opponent and grinned, "Well, you look promising. This will be fun." She got ready into a battle stance.

Axel smirked as he let out a couple of slow punches and a small kick in the air. "I'm ready for ya; bring it on!" the tiger taunted, waiting for Yuuki to step up to his challenge.

Yuuki smiled at his enthusiasm, "Very well. Moon Arcane: Blade." A light purple light appeared in her right hand, which appeared as a crystalized arcane sword. She then ran at Axel.

Axel smirked as he took a step forward as soon as she was in reach. Quickly he hopped into the air with a spinning roundhouse kick, and whether or not it would hit her, he then flowed into a ducking position for a sweep.

Yuuki was new to this style, but also knew Axel would of done something to attack her straight. It was the beginning of the battle and her magic was full to use. She disappeared via teleport and reappeared behind Axel. She attacked him with her sword, but knew she won't be able to use her teleport again straight away.

Following up from the roundhouse kick, Axel swiftly parried the sword to one side by batting away the flat side of it with his hand, still spinning he followed up with a spinning heel kick to Yuuki's head.

Yuuki ducked quickly, and attempted to knock Axel off his feet with a sweep, but through all the match so far, she hasn't let her guard down, so she was expecting an attack.

Axel didn't think she'd be all that fast and was tripped up by her attack. However, after landing on his back he kipped up quickly, then aimed to drive a powerful punch into her stomach, then again to her face.
