27th Interdimensional Martial Arts Tournament [PG-13]

[Andx]

Senel seemed somewhat pleased with himself as he stood up again from using Beat Impact. It was like it provided some immense joy. That shortly stopped when he saw his opponent was quite okay. In fact, now Damen was charging at him with two stilettos in hand. Instead of backing up when the attacks stared coming in, Senel seemed quite happy to stay where he was. As Damen approached Senel readied his right hand pulling it back like he had before. The same blue glow appeared on it and it was clear enough what he was going to do. Except Senel didn't punch the floor. He punched straight out in front of himself.

"Beast Impact!" he growled. The large lion's head of energy appeared as before except straight out in front of him right as Damen came in for his attacks.

[Aqua Girl]

Hannah stood in the stands carefully examining the two fighters; she had already made her assumptions of the two. The first was of the boy he reacted to rashly, taking to his wild side; all the other had to do was out think him. She looked at the young man who was far more powerful than he let on, she began to ponder his ability, wondering the limits of his abilities but he helped her by stating the way his ability works, its similar to her power in a way. She looked at the sudden Burst of power that came from the boy, "Man he’s unrefined but his potential is amassing, he’s going to be a great fighter when he’s older...." she silently mumbled to herself.

 

now that man he's interesting and quite strong, but he seams too cocky, if he can even beat the boy he might have quite a bit of trouble, with the others, I know I will be moving on to the next round I must If what they say is true, I can use the prize to bring mom and dad back. Hannah takes out a locket made of holy steel, and twiddled with it.

[Spirit of DMG]

When the blue energy appeared on Senel's hand, it was fairly obvious what he planned to do. Damen knew that he could simply manifest another wall to absorb the blow, but then decided on another strategy. He ran within a short distance of Senel, and banished his stilettos in favor of a spear, aimed right at Senel's Sacral Center, and a shield. Being within range, the spear manifested already within Senel's naval, about the same time as Damen was hit with the Beast Impact. The shield shattered, and Damen was sent flying, hitting his head on the wall he manifested behind him. He shook his head, but his vision still took a few seconds to clear up. "And now, we see what happens," he thought.

[Dad]

"Tch. Looks like this fight is over don'tcha think?" Eros spoke in a low tone to his other half.

 

Death only let out a chuckle, and yet, he didn't seem amused. "The boy is savage, and reckless. But he's not stupid. I can still feel his soul, so he's not dead. As for the Vampire, he's as witty as he is arrogant and foolish. Yet, I still am finding some hidden sources of strength in him. This fight is far from over," said the nonchalant spirit. Pacing around the arena, the duo was absorbed into the battle, even when the most heated moments were absolutely silent.

 

"And Eros?"

 

"What's the matter Death?"

 

"Now that I've been found, you--no. We cannot manifest my spirit through emotion. You'll regret it!" Death cackled viciously in the back of Eros' head, sending a stream of his hair on his head standing up, and cold sweat down his face.

[Andx]

Senel was already prepared to make another attack as Damen closed in but then Damen manifesting a spear. As he was close enough it formed inside of Senel. Though Senel had moved slightly, setting the spear off to his right side as opposed to square in his stomach. Damen had moved away quickly so Senel's swipes at the attacker didn't do much. The pain was great but Senel didn't try to remove the spear, that would hurt more. Not that Senel currently understood that. Senel then placed his hands on the floor, taking an animal like all-fours position. There was a slight shift in the air around him as he did so. Nothing major, but something was happening. If it was possible, Senel was taking a more savage form. His teeth were definitely like a predator's now, and his nails had pierced his gloves and become full on claws. His hair also seemed to get somewhat longer. His eyes now barely resembled that of a person and seemed to belong to some beast of prey. Other than that he still looked like the same old human but it was still a shocking change. Senel then moved at Damen with incredibly speed, speed that if he had before he hadn't been to eager to show off. It wasn't quite as fast as his Eres Iron Style but it was still remarkable. The spear was still in his side but that didn't seem to be bothering him that much. Already in front of Damen, Senel readied a punch. The familiar blue energy gathering around it.

[Spirit of DMG]

"So, do you like having spears in your abdomen?" Damen said, clenching his hand, manifesting another spear. "Just so you know, Ben Kei had arrows in his back not spears in his stomach. I doubt you'll end up dead from this, as I'm doing my best to avoid vitals, but still, you might wanna stop." Damen aimed a weak punch at Senel's neck, hoping to block out the center of reasoning, a severely compromised Chakra in this savage form, made even more compromised by his most recent transformation.

[Andx]

As the punch came in, Senel stopped the Beast Impact he was preparing, and instead did something unthinkable. Right there, on the spot, he pulled the spear in his side out causing his blood to finally begin spilling. And instead of cringing, Senel seemed to enjoy the sensation of pulling the spear out; at the least it hadn't put an end to the grin on his face. Senel then used the spear that had been in his side to hit the incoming fist off to the side. He dropped the spear shortly after hitting Damen's arm with it. He didn't make a motion with his fists again, so it seemed he wasn't going to use Beast Impact this time. Instead he made to attack with his right leg. He made a kick at Damen's side, intending to kick him off to the side.

[Spirit of DMG]

Damen was thrown to the side by the kick, barely staying in the ring due to sliding on his hands and feet. "He's strong, he's fast, he's nuts. No way am I gonna be able to find any weaknesses through telepathy. Let's just keep trying to hit those areas." He muttered, he re-formed one of his stilettos and rushed at Senel so fast he blurred, attempting to plunge the small dagger right into his opponents naval. "At least his blood spilled from the spear. That's something," he thought.

[Andx]

Senel watched with the same excited savage expression he'd had since he first let his mind leave the fight as Damen was knocked to the side, getting pretty close to the edge of the ring, and then formed a stiletto. Damen was moving fast and meant to stab Senel in the naval. That had been where most of his attacks had been focused and had Senel been around to talk with him, he'd probably be pretty annoyed that he wouldn't vary his target that often. But this savage Senel seemed to like always being in danger of a fatal blow. As Damen approached Senel pulled a backflip of all things. The point of the flip to have his feet kick the stiletto and Damen's hand; with any luck it might even knock the stiletto out of Damen's hand but Senel wasn't exactly in a condition to care about looking for lucky hits.

[Spirit of DMG]

Yet the problem with doing a flip aimed at kicking someones hands is that it's easy to get whatever's in their hands dragged across your feet. And as Senel did his back flip, Damen moved his arm to ensure that what happened was just that. The blade of his dagger dragged across the sole of Senel's foot, and made a move to manifest, and stab the base of Senel's spine with a second Stiletto. "What have I told you about hanging in the air? It makes it kinda hard to dodge."

[Andx]

Senel's shoes were thick enough in the sole to stop the cut from being too bad, but a light cut did now run along the length of his right foot. The more pain Senel felt as this point, the more excited he got it seemed. Senel now had his hands on the floor so he was doing a handstand, and Damen was moving in with another stiletto to get Senel's spine. Senel wasn't facing Damen, and instead of finishing the first flip to face him again, Senel went the other way. He brought his legs down behind him so he would kick Damen to the floor and then be standing on top of his shoulders. That would be enough to dodge to stiletto. But Senel had other ideas it seemed as well. Suddenly his feet had the blue energy about them. This time there were no words, it seemed Senel was too savage for them now, the lion's head of energy erupted around Senel's feet and would crash down on Damen.

[Vavel Elreigner]

Nel could only watch as the two fighters continously clashed and struggled against one another. He continued to look at the combatant who was named Senel, his wild behavior and almost heartless attacks were too familiar for Nel to just ignore. He tried to watch the fight without interfering but it was starting to get worse and worse by the second. The Boy the pushed himself off the wall he was leaning on and began to walk out of the fighters waiting room. He needed air and he needed it fast. The young man's long light brown bangs covered the emotions his eyes gave off, the anger and fear of what the tournament could bring if he could not control himself. He wanted to fight but He wanted to make sure he didn't end up like Senel during a fight.

[Spirit of DMG]

Damen had no choice but to jump backward once the blue energy formed around Senel's feet, barely managing to avoid the Blue Lion Head. Manifesting his bow once again, not even aiming for any part of Senel's body, but releasing three arrows in Senel's general direction. He seemed more interesting in preventing Senel from destroying the arena than actually winning the fight now. Of course, it was obvious that he'd win if he succeeded in stopping Senel. His plan now involved firing one arrow, moving at top speed 45 degrees around the ring, and firing another, and repeating the process.

[Andx]

Senel had gotten Damen to back up. Now standing up and facing the correct direction, Senel was finally in a favorable condition to dodge attacks. Damen had quickly taken to firing arrows again and didn't seem to be aiming for precise shots but more a general sweep of the arena. Senel began a very high speed dash at Damen and moved around the three first arrows launched. Damen then began moving around the arena, most likely meaning to catch Senel by firing from every direction within short periods of time. Chasing after Damen was going to be difficult as he wouldn't stop moving. Even if Senel could do more than match his speed, it would be hard to catch him. And though Senel wasn't thinking about any of this, he didn't chase Damen. He moved relatively close to the edge of the ring, which would effectively prevent Damen from being able to fire on all sides. Then Senel seemed ready to wait for his opponent to stop moving, like a predator waiting for the prey to stop struggling. Of course, staying in one place would help to avoid and or guard the arrows that were coming in.

[Spirit of DMG]

"Now then. I think it's about time to end this." Damen manifested another arrow, wrapping it in a yellow cord. Seemingly hiding something in his hand, as he wrapped only two fingers and a thumb to pull back his arrow. He manifested more of the yellow cord around Senel. "Let's finish this," He said, firing his arrow. As the arrow approached Senel, Damen pushed a button he'd concealed in his hand. The cord around the arrow, and the cord around Senel both exploded. "Det cord. I suppose Americans are good for something. They make pretty good weapons."

[Andx]

Senel was caught in the explosion and fell to the ground. Senel had let out an animal like scream as the explosion went off. There hadn't been much of a way to dodge the attack and Senel hadn't seen it coming in any way. It didn't seem Senel was going to get up again from that. And though it was hard to see, his hair had returned to normal, as had his nails. And then all at once, Senel disappeared. It was all a blur and made no sense. Senel had just been out but was no longer where he had fallen. And like that, a very fatigued and bloody Senel was standing behind Damen.

"Hope.. you don't mind. I don't think... this fight's mine to win anymore, but I'll at least show everyone what I can do! I owe the audience that much!! Eres Iron Style.... Phantom Dragon Dance!" Senel said with very labored breathing. Senel then launched a very quick punch to Damen's back. With the Eres Iron Style, his speed and strength were borderline superhuman again. If the punch hit, a very painful combo would follow it without hesitation and without fail. If the first punch hit, Senel would then launch into a combo involving several flipping kicks into the air, ending with a flaming kick.

[Spirit of DMG]

Damen stood smirking, He hadn't lowered his hands since the blast. He stood, his hand clenched around the detonator, thumb pressed on the button, bow held toward where Senel was, but, when the smoke cleared, there was no sign of Senel, and he heard Senel's voice from behind. He turned, shocked when he said, "What in the-" and was then hit with a powerful punch, right in the chest, he took one step backward, having not foreseen-nor been able to block-the attack. "That blast-it should have knocked him out of the ring!" he thought, bracing for whatever happened next-knowing he need wait only a second.

[Andx]

His first punch successful, Senel now had an entire combo to finish. Though he doubted he'd be getting many more direct hits as Damen had braced himself for whatever was coming next. Senel took one step forward and did a flipping kick that brought himself and his opponent to the air. Immediately he followed with another flipping kick, bringing them both farther into the air. And he was able to bring out two more before having to end it due to fatigue. None of the kicks to this point had been particularly powerful, but the final one would. Now that they were both roughly six feet in the air, Senel's right leg started burning it seemed. An open fire was burning on his leg and with one final flaming kick, he kicked Damen back towards the ground. This kick had his incredible strength behind it. Though right after performing the attack, Senel felt the additional fatigue and fell to the floor himself not too long after Damen would hit it. Senel could hardly stand and figured he wouldn't be able to much longer. Though he wasn't sure how they got there, he knew the injuries he had received while using Instinct Style had been pretty bad. He noticed a hole in his side meaning some weapon had pierced through him, he noticed a cut across the bottom of his foot, and then it seemed like something had blown up as his clothes were somewhat charred. He just had to hope his combo had been able to finish Damen or he was fairly certain he wouldn't be winning.

[Spirit of DMG]

Shortly after hitting the ground, Damen just barely managed to stand up. His legs felt as though they were made of Gel-O. The first several kicks hadn't been very powerful, but the last one had been very much so. "Man. What..is he? It should be...impossible...for a normal human...to be that...powerful. He's not...like me. That much is clear...otherwise he...wouldn't have...been so surprised...by my...abilities. But still...for a normal human...to have that much power...What...Is he?" he said out loud. He found himself having to hold onto his knees to be able to stand. "Luckily...I can't be killed...so easily."

[Sploda]

"Well it looks like this is all but wrapped up. I'm glad I got to see the manifestations and that punch. I'll be sure to learn those after the tournament." Creator said to himself as he got up after sitting for so long, he had to stretch them. "Well I guess we get to find out who is next soon." Creator said turning to Eros as he spoke. I wonder what type of spirit inhabits him? It doesn't seem to freindly...

[Andx]

"Still going?! I still have one move left! This will finish it!" Senel called. Somehow he managed to get at a run towards Damen. Though it wasn't incredibly fast, it didn't need to be. Now that he was next to Damen he prepared his next attack.

"Eres Iron Style! Whirlwind Blast!" Senel called out. The combo would beging with a roundhouse kick, and would be followed by an uppercut into the air and finish with kick back down to the ground. As Senel began the motion he felt a very strong surge of pain coming from his right side. So much so that he couldn't finish the attack. And at the same time his vision blurred so bad he felt he might as well have been blind. He set his leg back down and clenched his side. His vision recovered but he couldn't say the same about his side. The spear wound in his side wasn't going to let him finish his last attack. And his fatigue didn't seem it was going to let him win this fight.

 

"Damn. ...I really thought... I had a chance there for a second. ...Guess I was wrong. It seems... I'm still a bit too young to win this thing. Maybe... in another three or four years... maybe then it might be mine." Senel said with very labored breathing. He then looked at Damen and made brief eye contact.

"Enjoy the second round Damen. When you've got some free time, you'll have to fill me in... on what I did in Instinct Style, and how I ever got some of these wounds. See ya around then." Senel said. He fell backwards, landing on his back. The thud against the cement seemed painful but it was nice to be lying down. Senel was done and somehow barely conscious. And though he'd lost, Senel's big smile was still across his face. The fight had been a truly fun one, he could tell even if he hadn't been around for a part of it.
