As he walked away from where he talked to the girl, he checked his watch and let out a curse as he realized just how close it was for showtime. "I'm gonna be late!" He shouted as he sprinted at inhuman speeds towards the arena.
 
Luckily, he wasn't too far off and, due to his high speed, managed to get there just in time. As he stood there, he listened to Mauv give her mandatory introduction, although there were a few additions to his title. He grinned and, as the countdown started, turned to his dragon opponent. "Ready to taste my bla-"
 
"-where the fu​ck did it go?" He said as the environment changed, as he was used to. However, unlike the other arenas he was used to, this one was larger. Large enough, in fact, that he could no longer see his opponent. Angrily, he kicked the dirt below him as he took a look around the forest that surrounded him. He started making his way forward, keeping an eye out for any potential ambushes.

[Alaina]

 

With one snowball having left, Xia moved onward with Snowball as she went her way to explore the rest of the city. This time, she had decided to simply pick a direction and walk, trying to find something to catch her interest. it wasn't until she got to the edge of the city, that she stopped, seeing a very impressive looking building with all kinds of pillars and things on the outside. Looking to her companion she said, "hey Snowball, let's go check it out."
 

"Mrow." 

 

As the duo made their way inside, the building seemed to be just as impressive on the inside; low hanging ceilings with pillars formed in lines holding it up as a crowd of people seemed to be bustling about. While there was a room that was straight ahead that the people were going towards, there were also two rooms to either side of the entrance that were less populated in traffic. Both curious of all the rooms and because it was easier to get to, the girl had gone into one of the side rooms. 

 

The room itself was small, dimly lit, and rectangular. All that was to see was a single robed figure crouched beside a fire, the source of the room's light. Beyond the fire the walls themselves seemed to have strange carvings depicting some kind of creature. The dragon girl looked at it for a bit, only to realize that their shape was similar to that of Tes's. Xia then remembered that Tes was dragon, which must've meant those were carvings of dragons! Deciding to go check them out, the girl examined it for a bit. As she felt the warmth of the fire behind her, there seemed to be a sudden strange whispering. The girl was caught off guard at first by this, and while she thought it was coming from the carvings at first, she only got more confused as it seemed to be coming from inside her head. Picking Snowball off her head, the girl said, "hey, hey Snowball, do you hear anything?"

 

"Mew?"

 

With an oddly understanding expression on her face, the girl nods saying, "right right." Putting Snowball back on her head, the girl then went to go poke at the carvings. 

 

"Excuse me, Miss, please don't touch." The person kneeling says, their voice sounding young.

 

Xia jumped, a bit surprised by the voice before turning around and saying, "oh. Sorry. I was just curious. Um...are these dragons?"

 

The person stood up and took off their hood, revealing a young blonde man. "Yes, well, that's what we assume. No one alive now has actually seen one before. And the only Dragon we know of is the Great Dragon."

 

Xia seemed to be in a bit of awe at this, her tail even flicking a bit in excitement, saying, "Great Dragon? Whooooa, they sound great!" She looked back at the carving again, her expression becoming pensive, before saying, "but they look kind of different from the dragon I know of. But, I guess not all humans look the same too, right?" She nodded to herself, satisfied with the conclusion she came to.

 

"That you know of? Er, what do you mean?"

 

"Oh well, where I came from, my home was made by a dragon! He also made me!" Her expression became more pensive and confused as she said, "well, sort of?"

 

"Well, the Great Dragon also made this world. Many years ago...Who...are you?"

 

"Whoooooa, they sound really cool then." Looking to the man, with a friendly expression on her face she outstretched her hand for a shake saying, "oh right, hi Mister! I'm Xia, and this is my friend's uh...fur, creature, Snowball!"

 

He looked at her hand, then at her face, blushing before taking her hand gently. "Nice...to meet you, I'm Erin. I volunteer here at the shrine."

 

Shaking his hand with clearly more force than he does, she said, "ooooh. That sounds fun! What do you do here?"

 

"I help people use the transporters, clean the building, and make sure the fires stays lit." He gestured at the flames. "They've not ever gone out in the history of these shrines."

 

"Oh, that is pretty cool." She then looked to the fire, seemingly impressed by the statement. As she looked back and was about to say more, she seemed to think about something for a moment before looking at her wrist, realizing what the time was. "Oh, whoops. Sorry Erin, but I got a place to be soon. But it was fun talking to you!"

 

"Um...you, too." He said, a bit lost as to how to respond. Before she left he blurted out. "Feel free to come back any time!"

 

As the girl began to run, she stopped before waving back at the boy saying, "sure thing!" Then, with great haste, the girl and Snowball began their travel back to the arena to make it to their fight.

"Mm, perhaps the business you wish to run might be a restaurant of some kind?"

 

"That is possible but, I don't know. Even if I can cook somewhat, that doesn't mean I can handle running a restaurant."

 

Angelica waited for the doctor to finish his food before touching hers, but by doing so, she noticed that the doctor only took a small portion on his plate, and he was eating rather slowly. The sight made Angelica worry.

 

"I-is there anything wrong with the food? I'm really sorry if it doesn't taste good, I haven't cooked this dish for a long time..."

 

The sight started to make Angela anxious. The thought that the doctor maybe didn't like her food was really worrying for her, and she wondered whether she should buy him some take-out foods using her own credits as a compensation for ruining this lunch session. While she was frozen in anxiety though, Elijah's message was sent to her watch, distracting her thought momentarily from her worries. She excused herself in front of the doctor so she could read the message in it and reply.

 

[Well, that might be difficult depending on how far away from the Arena you are. Might be better for us to meet up after our fights. The first round is starting, so our fights are coming up in an hour. Still, good to hear you've recovered, and that it wasn't (entirely) my fault.]

 

That would be an issue. Angela decided that there should be a better time for the two of them to hang out.

 

[I am really sorry, but I have a certain business to deal with once my match is over. What if we meet up tonight instead? I can treat you for a dinner? Just tell me if you want any particular locations in this city.]

 

Angela returned to the dining table not long after, trying her best to look fine so that the doctor wouldn't be worried. To distract her mind from the thought of the doctor disliking her food, she started up a conversation.

 

"Doc, might be strange to ask, but have you ever fallen in love with anyone?"

 

It was the first thing that come to her mind. Angela never really thought about love for the most part in her life, and she was sure that she's not really that interested in the doctor sexually. It's just a topic she knew people usually like to talk about, so she felt like it's a good conversation starter here.

 

"And perhaps, do you know anything about dealing with that feeling of love?"

[Tesability Black]

After taking advantage of the fact that she seemed to only need to eat once again to get a filling meal, the dog-sized dragon let out an echoing belch into the area before finally looking down at her watch.

 

...uh, oh, where did the time go?

 

"Uh, ohsh, tiem tu gosh," Tesability chimed, the translation projecting itself to Gavin's watch before the dragon hopped off into the air and flew off. Once out of the building, she literally bolted away from the place by turning into a literal bolt of lightning, brightening the area as she left for the arena...

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

...oh, boy.

 

Tesability landed in front of her opponent, which turned out to be the demonic jerk that she sneezed on and zapped earlier that day.

 

She saw the grin on his face as he started to say, "Ready to taste my bla-"

 

However, the field's manifestation interrupted him. Knowing there was a small delay between the manifestation and the sound alteration, she lifted her leaf-like ears in time to catch the next thing said, "-where the fu​ck did it go?", before the sound alteration program of the arena kicked in. However, the voice she heard and the location she was feeling from her opponent's location did not match, so she paid no attention to the voice.

 

Folding her ears back down, she flew up into the canopy, keeping track of the fading ping as she flew. Fortunately, she had her snout pointed in the correct direction before the last ping was felt and there was no more indicator of where her foe was as she perched on a tree branch. Tail wagging slightly, she hopped up into the air once more, looking down while flying and high through the tree branches. She landed once she saw the demon enter her view while being as quiet as she could, prepared to defend herself with lightning should he have some way to strike her from so high.

 

Keeping her wings folded into her back and her silver leaf-ears pinned back, Tesability watched her prey move underneath her branch as he tried to find her. Admittedly, she could barely see him through the foliage because of his coloration, so she was probably a pain in the tail for him to see her.

 

Above the canopy, however, the sound of thunder began to echo as flashes of light filtered through the leaves and rain began to fall...

[Super Chaos Sonic]

 

 

-Before the Battle Began-

 

Gavin immediately questioned the 'edibility' of the food that Tesability said they could get, and chose not to eat. He wasn't entirely hungry, more-less just a bit anxious to hurry up and get to fighting against Aurora.

 

But as luck would have it, he was almost late...was the last time he just followed a digital dragon to get grub...

 

 

-Present Day-

Location: Demon's Stomach

 

Gavin lowered his weapon for a few moments, before glancing down at his MOVA again. “Okay...don’t bring out Aquila until it's absolutely necessary.” he muttered, moving slightly as he heard VEX speak once more.

 

"Gavin, por favor, ten cuidado. Los Surveillance-Bots aún deben informar sus hallazgos a la Sra. Aurora." VEX said, unfortunately in Spanish.

 

With a sigh, Gavin shook his head. “Only caught a few things there, buddy. My name, the Surveillance-Bots, and Aurora.” he said, before smirking. “Either way, I’m making sure to keep my distance from her. It’s obvious she’s got some range with the ice abilities. Let me know when the bots give an analysis on Snow Angel here.”

 

“¿Ángel de nieve?”

 

Without so much of another word, Gavin lifted his weapon and shot a few more rounds at the ice wall Aurora hid behind. Unfortunately for Gavin and Aurora both, there was a problem 'arising'. Somehow this battlefield was now beginning to slowly have a strange bile rising.

 

"¡Advertencia! Extraña sustancia que comienza a cubrir el área!" VEX shouted, getting Gavin's attention.

 

"What?" Gavin asked, finally noticing what was happening. "What the hell?! Hey, Snow Angel! I don't know what this is...but be careful!" he shouted, showing at least a bit of concern towards his opponent. He looked a bit and then noticed a fleshy looking stalactites on the ceiling. Don't know if that'll help, but it's something! he thought, before holstering his weapon and jumping to grab the fleshy stalactites...not enjoying the feel of them.

 

"Surveillance-Bots están en 70% de hecho en su análisis, Gavin." VEX said, deciding to show a small screen that showed a 70% on Gavin's MOVA.

 

"Oh good...a diagram this time." Gavin said, glancing at it the best he could as he kept holding onto the stalactite. "This bile just needs to clear out..."

[ChampionZero]

Elijah tilted his head back and forth. He didn't really know any good restaurants, he'd mostly been going to fast-food places. Better to let her choose.

 

[You'll have to recommend something. I haven't really explored the culinary side of Rama-Indri.]

 

Elijah sighed and tugged at his tie, loosening it a bit. Oh man, he was not ready for this upcoming fight, This outfit alone was going to drag him down. But, there was nothing to do but face the problem and hope for a happy ending...

 

"That just sounded weird, even in my head," he admitted, running his fingers through his hair.

[VCR_CAT]

Aria

 

After a few moments of struggling against the hold, Aurea allowed Aria to get back on her feet. "Please stand at the other end." She asked.

 

Panting, Aria moved over to the other corner and waited for Aurea to take action, taking what she would call a "fighting stance". Aurea then burst forward, without warning, and, as she got within a couple feet of the girl, swung her fist towards Aria's side. The moment Aria saw the movement, she let her reflex kick and stepped away from the incoming fist as quickly as she could. Aurea paused her attack and stepped forward, ramming her knee into Aria's stomach. "Never commit fully to one action." The girl stated.

 

"Got it," Aria half-growled from her kneeled position, pain pulsing through her body as she put every ounce of her concentration into not losing her cool.

 

The two continued like this for some time, resetting their positions and either Aurea moving into attack with Aria defending, or vice-versa. The results were the same each time, with Aria finding herself discovering a new definition of pain, but never enough to put her out of the count. With each round, Aria pushed herself to do more and do better, applying the bare basics she had learned from the previous night along with any tips or suggestions that Aurea had offered. While the results were the same each time, Aria made noticeable progress with each attempt, and this was possibly the only thing that kept the girl from losing all patience and giving up. Each attack was just a bit closer, and each defense was just a bit more successful.

 

"Again," Aurea said, and the two moved into positions. Aria turned around and took a deep breath, exhaling slowly as she glared at her opponent with determination. Aria aimed her open palms behind her, and with a loud burst of deep sound she shot forward in a straight line. Aurea moved to counter the attack directly, but with a flick of wrists and a second burst of bass sound, Aria changed directions on the fly, moving to a deep flank on Aurea's right side. Quickly, without winding back, Aria forced her left palm forward towards Aurea's exposed side. Once again, the elf girl saw this coming and brought her right arm down to block the strike. With the block committed, Aria forced her right fist forward, a clear shot for Aurea's side. It looked like the attack was going to hit, until...

 

In a flash, Aurea spun on her right heel, swatting away Aria's left arm with her momentum and, in the same movement, grabbing Aria's right wrist tightly, stopping the punch just short. Then, Aurea pushed Aria in the direction of her momentum, sending the white-haired girl down into the mat and into another pin.

 

"Goddammit!" Aria cursed through strained breath. Aurea let go of the hold and pulled the girl up.

 

"Much better, you're learning," The elf said. "You're adapting on the spot, anticipating the opponent's moves and changing your attack at a moment's notice."

 

"But it didn't work," Aria said, catching her breath.

 

"No. You were only think so many moves in advance, banking everything on your one punch. You've gotten much better at using your powers to your advantage, I don't have many students that can move as quickly as you can!" Aurea put her hands on her hips. "But you lost balance too easily-- you lack nuanced control."

 

Aria's watch began to buzz, notifying her that she needed to return to the arena. "sheet," she said, realizing she had gotten herself all beat up before she needed to fight.

 

"Sounds like we're calling it for the day, then," Aurea said. "Chin up, nobody is born perfectly skilled at any one thing, and you are getting better. Come back again some time and we can get back to work."

 

"Sounds good," Aria said, grabbing her jacket and putting it on as she made for the door.

 

"One more thing," Aurea said. Aria paused at the door. "I'll message you a couple exercises you can do on your own to help with your balance, just some core muscle training. You might hate it, but every little bit helps."

 

Aria smiled and gave up a thumbs up. "Thanks, I'll see you later." With that, Aria pushed through the door and left the gym, making her way back towards the arena.

Day 3, 1:00, Virtual Battlefield Room - Demon's Stomach

Points: 122

W/L Record: 1/1

"What the hell?! Hey, Snow Angel! I don't know what this is...but be careful!"

 

Aurora peeked up from behind her wall of ice, to see a surge of some sort of bile rushing toward the fighters from the back of the arena. Gross. More importantly though, that stuff didn't seem like something the cryomancer would want to get caught in. She had no idea if her ice would be strong enough to cover her through the whole thing either. So she did the natural thing to do. Climb up her small ice wall, then jump as high as she could manage, reaching up and just grabbing the nearest fleshy stalactite, making a point to face away from the incoming bile as she climbed up it like a rope in gym class, so that it would only hit her back. She paid no mind to the thin layer of frost that grew on it around where her left arm touched the thing.

 

This stuff's pretty nasty. It smells a bit too. But I'm in this fight for the long haul.

 

Once the surge of bile had passed, not letting go of the stalactite just yet, Aurora extended her right arm out in Gavin's direction, and fired off a beam of ice. However, she aimed at the ground below him, intending to create a pillar beneath him with the ice beam. She could figure out what to do with that pillar later.

[LordCowCowCowCowCowCowCowCow]

Angela

 

"I-is there anything wrong with the food? I'm really sorry if it doesn't taste good, I haven't cooked this dish for a long time..."

 

The doctor waved her off. "No worries, no worries, I'm just a light eater is all. It tastes just fine." He put more in his mouth as if to prove it. His face showed absolutely no distaste of what he was eating as he swallowed it down.

 

Franklin watched the girl as she texted. She seemed distressed by something and her next question seemed to have some indication of what.

 

"Love, eh?" Franklin said. He set down his utensil and leaned back, folding his hands together in front of him as he thought. "A long time ago, yes. There was someone. They're why I became a doctor, actually." He smiled at the memory. "It's been quite some time. I never really talked to them about it, they never knew how I felt until the day I...until it was too late." He looked back at Angela and his eyes seemed a darker red than before, practically brown. "I suppose I am not the best at dealing with that emotion. But I suppose...had I had another chance I would have went for it. It's better to take a chance than to never know, I think."

 

He coughed into his hand as an awkward silence hung. "I hope I'm not keeping you from anything important." He added.

[Super Chaos Sonic]

 

 

Gavin watched as Aurora climbed her ice wall and then grabbed onto the fleshy stalactite as well, keeping herself from being struck by the bile as well. Right now it just seemed like a test of strength and who could hold on the longest. If that was the case, Gavin was a shoe in. After all, all the military training he went through just to get to be a pilot wasn't for nothing.

 

As the bile finally started to dissipate, the pilot finally noticed that Aurora was aiming at him and fired off a beam of ice towards the ground he hung from.

 

Trying to limit my movement...not bad. Gavin thought, before hearing VEX speak.

 

"Gavin, los Surveillance-Bots han regresado con su análisis del oponente." VEX spoke, as the screen on Gavin's MOVA was brought up to life once more, showing the findings the bots had.

 

"Great." Gavin muttered, glancing over at the screen. Hmm, according to the Surveillance-Bots, the temperature around her in general is lower than the arenas. Given the fact that she uses ice...that's a no brainer. he thought, before seeing the last part. Though the area she has the temperature lower at...is her left arm. Hmmm...guess that means I need to make sure to only strike at her right side. That way she doesn't do too much to me.

 

-BGM-

 

However, first thing was first. Gavin looked at the ice pillar underneath him as he finally let go of the stalactite and grabbed the ice pillar, descending with a quick roll as he stood back up and took aim right at Aurora. He pointed his left arm towards Aurora who was still hanging on the stalactite and slowly aimed upward...towards the base of the stalactite. "VEX...prime the Flight of the Aquila program!" he said quickly.

 

"¡Lo acabo de hacer!"

 

Gavin heard this, before smirking. "Flight of the Aquila!!" he shouted, before something was immediately shot and fired off out from under his MOVA. It was orange at first, but it immediately sprung to life with it's dark energy and took the appearance of a boomerang. It was flying at a quick speed, as it's dark energy motor revved towards the very top of the stalactite. He was going to make sure Aurora fell with the stalactite.

[Tesability Black]

As Cyanthrax marched onward through the forest, he noted that he and his opponent had company. He groaned as he kept going forward. “This place funking suck!” He yelled out, stomping his foot on the ground. As he did, he could hear the sound of thunder booming above him as the rain started pouring. “Fan-funking-tastic!” He shouted, sighing heavily. It almost made him miss the stomach arena. Almost.

A grin forming on the muzzle from the little dragon over his head, she waited until he passed underneath her before quietly flying out of her branch and flying above and behind him, charging a ball of electricity in her mouth...before firing it as a ray towards the demon and flying straight up through the canopy to hide.

Cyan heard another crackling… behind him? He turned around, and was greeted by a flash of electricity slamming right into him. As he staggered backward, he saw a small figure dart upward and towards the trees. So that’s what was going on. “God damn it! I bet you’re causing this storm too! You little sheet...” He blurted out, turning to the trees above him. He had no idea which tree the small dragon was in… an idea formed in his head. “If I can’t find you… I’ll just have to burn down your cover!” He shouted, launching a trio of fireballs at one of the trees. To his surprise, the tree didn’t seem to catch on fire. Blaming the rain, he launched another set of fireballs. This time, something did happen, although the tree was still not on fire. Instead, a swarm of gigantic hornets descended from the tree, darting straight towards Cyan. “funk!” He cursed, swatting at the hornets as they stung him.

Raising an hairless eyebrow at the hornets, Tesability flew back down in a literal flash, speed turning her body into a lightning bolt as she came down headfirst towards the...she still couldn’t figure out what kind of NetMonster this being would be. Couldn’t be a Human, but calling him a Mage didn’t seem right either...either way, her skull aimed for the demon to hopefully crater him into the ground on impact.

As he finished swatting and burning away at the last of the hornets, he saw a flash of light hurling itself right at him. The lighting bolt slammed into him as he barely managed to bring his arms up to block the attack. He felt something incredibly hard hitting him; he wasn’t quite sure what it was. He slid slightly back as the main blunt of the attack struck him, but he managed to stay standing. Gritting his teeth, he would suddenly disappear into black smoke, before appearing somewhere near where he once was. “How annoying.” He barked as he saw the dragon surround herself with an aura of electricity. “How long do you plan on keeping this up?” He shouted, snapping his fingers. His trustly rapier spawned from fire into his left hand, which he pointed at his opponent. “I will tear you apart!”

A snout pointed towards the demon from the dragon that currently had paws on the ground. Without a word, she flew up and zoomed towards him with the lightning around her forepaws intensifying before swing to strike.

Stinging Saber.

The attack was announced from Cyan’s watch as she swung with both paws, a named attack.

Cyanthrax kept his eyes locked onto his opponent, waiting for them to make their move. And a move they made, as the dragon suddenly darted towards him. He smirked, although he didn’t have enough time to taunt the dragon before he disappeared into smoke again, appearing behind the dragon as his watch sounded. “You’re pretty fast.” He remarked, smirking. “I barely managed to dodge that. Cute trick with the watch, too,” He chuckled, before launching a pair of fireballs at the dragon.

The fact that the demon took his time to taunt before firing those orbs gave the little dragon far more than enough time to dodge both of them before she landed on the ground and gave an... admittedly-not-very-intimidating roar that sounded far more cute because of her high-pitched and somewhat-squeaky voice. Inhaling deeply, she fired off with a wide spray of lightning towards the demon, bareing large fangs as she did.

Cyan broke into laughter hearing the small dragon’s roar. “That’s almost adorable.” He remarked as he started walking towards the dragon. As he saw the dragon inhale deeply, he knew something was going to happen. As the dragon sprayed her lightning towards him, the demon was no longer there - a trail of smoke remained. He cackled as he appeared behind the dragon, opting to deliver a swift kick. “Is that all you got?”

Cyan goes for a kick towards the dragon...question is: what dragon? By the time he manifested enough to kick, the dragon was there one second, literally gone in the next. A crackling could be heard from above as the dragon appeared into view and fired a ball of electricity straight down at the dragon.

His foot swung at the air as he heard a crackling noise from above him. Looking upwards, he saw the dragon above him, already firing a ball of electricity right at the demon. He grimaced before disappearing into smoke again, just barely dodging the ball. “sheet.” He muttered, glaring at the dragon. It was strange, fighting an opponent that was faster than he was - it was something he wasn’t used to fighting against. “Not bad.” He remarked, before launching a fireball at the dragon, knowing full well it would be dodged. “This is bad.”

The dragon flew down and landed on the ground, which was wet from the ground. Her entire form began to surround with electricity before forcing it into the ground and the many fallen leaves upon the ground, allowing her to create a web of electricity stretching farther than usual along the many fallen leaves. “Yu tawks tu much,” the dragon finally said, Cyan’s watch repeating her words with perfect clarity.

“And you don’t talk enough!” He responded, surprised that his watch was translating what the dragon was saying. He stepped back away from the web of electricity forming around the dragon, aiming his sword at the dragon. From the tip of the sword launched a fireball aimed directly at the dragon.

Being a showoff, the dragon hopped up and flipped fully over the fireball before landing and continuing the increasingly-faster spread of the electrical web. ”Yu wun oudda wumsh shunsh,” she yipped at him, almost confidant that she had this in the bag.

Cyanthrax scoffed. “Really now?” As he watched the web spread, he suddenly jumped up, disappearing into black smoke. He looked down at the dragon from his new vantage point; on one of the branches of the tree. “I’d be careful about hitting these trees if I were you.” He mocked, waiting to see just what in the world the dragon had planned.

The dragon looked up and frowned at the red-colored Not!Human, her forefangs almost disappearing under the expression. Instead of allowing the web to spread further, she pulled it all into herself, feeling the burst of energy from the lightning that had magnified from the spread. With a burst, she flew straight up, through the canopy and into the clouds that had formed above. The electricity she had contained in herself became spread throughout the clouds, changing a simple rainstorm into a proper thunderstorm that roared with great might on each flash of lightning. Focusing on the data that consisted of the clouds, since she could the minute codes that made them as a being of data herself, she focused the lightning now contained and magnified in them to literally bring down the storm on the forest in hopes of catching the opponent in all of it.

Yous on my territory, Cyan would hear from his watch. Unlike the last time, which sounded like more like a digitized announcer, this sounded more high-pitched and small. Somehow, the dragon was communicating to him from way up in the sky! ALL of the digitized fields are home turf to me!

Cyanthrax watched as the dragon flashed up in a bolt of lighting towards the sky. He cackled hearing the high-pitched voice come out of his watch as the clouds started bringing down thunder. He jumped off of the tree, landing on the ground right as the tree he was on moments ago got struck with a bolt of lightning. “You’re not very good at listening, are ya?” He mocked, watching the hornets fly off of into the sky. There really wasn’t much he could do, considering where his opponent was. He sighed. “I hate using this sheet.” He said to himself and, as he did, a mysterious and dark purple substance started leaking out of his limbs, surrounding his body in what almost looked like dark purple armor. He shuttered as it encased him, moving his arm back and forth.

Tesability heard the buzzing of insects trying to approach, soon finding themselves zapped upon entering the clouds, with only the rare number getting in to sting her. Tail swatting away the annoyances with the silver leaf at the tip, she soon found herself tilting her head as something new was felt.

She hadn’t felt anything new manifest during the battle with the Not!Dragon dragon, so this was admittedly new to her.

”Ish dat a gweech,” she mused to herself as the thunderstorm began to slow before a little black dragon poked her snout out of the clouds. ”Bawsh Wadee nu wike dish,” she mused before beginning to fly down, forgetting about the fight for the moment as she flew towards the source of the new manifestation.

As Cyan waited, he felt the rain lighten up a bit. He turned up to the sky, noting that he could no longer hear the crackling roars of thunder around him. “God I hate this place...” He remarked once again, shaking his head as the grip on his sword tightened. Still, he couldn’t help but grin - he was sure the hornets had snuffed the dragon out of her hiding spot. Confirming his suspicion, he saw the silhouette of something above the trees, which was heading towards him. It was the dragon, however, she wasn’t going as fast as she had been during the fight. It looked like she was looking for something. Cyanthrax decided it would be best to try and ambush her, jumping back onto the trees and waiting.

Sniff, sniff.

Sniff, sniff…

Sniiiiiiiiiiff…

Tesability folded her ears down as she landed near where the opponent was, looking around for the moment. Brining a claw to the top of her head in thought, she looked rather-confused. ”Wai new ding shmewlsh wike Fire Not!Human person?” she asked more to herself than anything before pointing snout towards Cyan’s general direction without realizing it and closing her eyes. A pulse moved through the field, one that she instinctively uses during the first few seconds of a fight before only the opponent disappears from her mental view. Opening her eyes, she found herself tilting her head. ”Awmows? Muveen awmows?” Unsure of what to expect, she surrounded herself with a barrier of lightning before approaching the direction of the odd smell and thing…

Cyanthrax grinned wickedly as the dragon approached closer. As she got closer and closer to the tree, Cyan lept from the tree top and on top of the dragon, aiming to pierce through the shield and onto the dragon’s back.

"I'm sorry for any inconveniences I caused you, doc. Thank you for everything."

 

The story that the doctor told Angela was still fresh on her mind when she said her farewells to him in preparation for her upcoming match. Normally, in such a situation, she would have offered herself to accompany him physically, yet it was hard for her to push herself to do it. The doctor was someone she respected, someone that she held in high regards. She owed him a lot, and it felt wrong if she presented that side of hers to him.

 

"I'm sorry for not being able to say more. But..." Angela went silent for a second. "should you want me to accompany you as a friend, or just wanted to have me around for a talk or two,  you can contact me anytime. Maybe I can cook more things to you too."

 

That was it. She really felt like it was far from sufficient to repay the doctor's help, but it was the most that she could do for him now. Bowing to him one last time, she turned around and walked out of the apartment room's door, moments before activating her Invisible Air and disappearing from sight.

"Xia!"

 

Angela turned off her invisibility once she was near the arena as she noticed Xia rushing towards it. Alongside her was a cute kitten, one that Angela really wanted to play with, but with both of them being in a rush, maybe that was a bad idea.

 

"You're going to your match, right? I wish you good luck! I'm going to mine too now!"

[Alaina]

 

As the girl was getting ready for her match, she heard a familiar voice chime in from behind her. Turning around, she said, "Angela!" As the girl said she had a match to go to, Xia simply said, "oh, you have one too? Well good luck! I gotta get to Gnash first so I can drop Snowball off first. But I'm sure we'll see each other after our matches!" With that, the dragon girl waved off Angela as she started to go to where Gnash was. As she did, she stopped in her tracks and said, "wait a second..." Realizing something, the girl decided to keep going towards Gnash anyway, and when she had finally gotten to his room and dropped Snowball of there. Saying that she only needed the white fur beast to stay there for as long as her match was, the girl eventually ran back to the arena, and once there, saw her opponent saying, "Aha! I remembered right! Well, best of luck regardless Angela, and let's have fun!"

Day 3, 12:30PM, Arena

Points: 122

W/L Record: 1/1

Gavin seemed to be eyeing her up. And looking at something else. He was pretty good at dodging, if nothing else. And then...

 

"Flight of the Aquila!!"

 

It was time for Gavin to go back on the offensive. Aurora watched as the boomerang-like projectile made for the stalactite she was hanging from. She was no genius, but she didn't have to be in order to know where this was going. She released the piece of flesh from her grip, rolling to the side as she hit the floor to get out of the stalactite's falling path. As she rolled, Aurora started to feel a distinct twinge of cold - more pronounced and sharp than the standard Aurora fare - around her left arm. We're getting there. Just a little bit longer.

 

Aurora created another set of small ice spikes in her right hand, before throwing them toward Gavin and following up with a beam aimed at the wall behind him, just to his right. If he tried dodging to the right, it would hit him dead-on. If it missed, she'd be able to make a pillar there that limited his movement. It was like a win-win scenario! Even if she was feeling a bit chilly overall.

 

"I probably shouldn't be giving the person I'm fighting a pointer," she stated. "But in case you haven't noticed yet, ranged combat is what my Fragment is best at. There's no way you can win from over there."

[Super Chaos Sonic]

 

 

Gavin watched as Aurora let go of the stalactite and watched his Aquila cut the base just like it was meant to, seeing it fall down beside Snow Angel. He smirked, holding out his hand, having his boomerang return to him. "Not bad...not bad at all..." he muttered, before watching her throwing a few ice spikes at her and then shot a beam of ice his direction.

 

"I probably shouldn't be giving the person I'm fighting a pointer...But in case you haven't noticed yet, ranged combat is what my Fragment is best at. There's no way you can win from over there."

 

His eyes were fixated on Aurora, simply activating his Dark Energy Shield once more and blocking the spikes whilst simply stepping to his left to avoid the ice beam. A chuckle was heard as he was now beginning to move towards her.

 

"Oh I figured that much out, Snow Angel." Gavin chuckled, moving towards the young woman. "In case you hadn't noticed, I've been purposely keeping my distance. I needed to get some readings and information off you. And right now, I can definitely tell your trying not to use that left arm of yours." Knowing this little piece of information, that might've shocked Aurora. "My bots showed that out of all the areas around you that is in a cold temperature...your left arm is by far the coldest."

 

Now at this point he was making a direct rush towards her. "Meaning! As long as I keep away from that left side, then I should be alright." Gavin shouted, as he rushed towards her, doing his best to bash her with his Dark Energy Shield and then try his best to take his Aquila and hook Aurora's leg and trip her up.

Seeing off Xia, Angela decided to rest on a nearby bench as she waited for her match to start. At that time, she noticed that Elijah had sent another message towards her, and scrambled herself to reply to him.

 

[You'll have to recommend something. I haven't really explored the culinary side of Rama-Indri.]

 

[Well, me neither. But we can find something fun together, right? Discovery is part of what makes it interesting!]

 

Angela took a deep breath and sent the short message. She felt a bit guilty for taking too long in making that reply, but at least it was said and done now.. What was left was for her to check her next opponent. As she brought up her watch to check the identity of her next opponent, Xia had already returned.

 

"Aha! I remembered right! Well, best of luck regardless Angela, and let's have fun!"

 

"Remembered what...?"

Angela waved at her nevertheless before returning to her watch...only to see that her next match was going to be Xia. Oh, so that was what she just remembered. Well, it's not like Angela had any chance to win against anyone anyway, but she was curious about what sort of capability did Xia have.

 

"Oh, now that you're here, let's go to the arena together. I can't wait to face you, Xia."

[ChampionZero]

Elijah smiled at Angela's message. She was nice. Shame they'd probably never see each other once this whole thing was over... All the more reason to avoid getting attached, really.

 

But Elijah was not a man of reason, he was a man of action.

 

Standing up, he cracked his knuckles and ran through some vocal warm-ups. "Unique New York. Unique New York. Red Leather, Yellow Leather. Red Leather, Yellow Leather. The tip of the tongue, the teeth, the lips, the lips, the teeth, the tip of the tongue." And so on, with any number of ridiculous phrases that were increasingly difficult to pronounce, but which helped him get into the character and voice of The Professor once more.

 

"Class is now in session," He intoned darkly. As soon as the Arena room opened up, he proceeded inside to his place in the room, standing with a very rigid posture: Back straight, shoulders back, chin up. Very formal.

[VCR_CAT]

Aria

 

"Sorry I'm late, I'm here I'm here!" Aria announced, bursting through the arena door running. She skidded to a stop on her end, taking a couple minutes to catch her breath. "Looks like I made it!" She said triumphantly, looking across the room at her opponent, and finding herself surprised at who it was she was supposed to be fighting. "Wait a minute!" She said, pausing for a moment. "What the hell was your name again? Elisha?"

[ChampionZero]

Elijah frowned as the girl stepped into place. He was dressed in black slacks, a white shirt, a red tie, and thin, silver glasses. All in all, he looked ten years older than he did last, as well as carried himself in a far more formal manner, like a butler. And maybe it was just the way he was speaking but he sounded vaguely more English than before. "That's Professor Diamond to you, young lady." He rolled up his sleeves to uncover his forearms and pushed his glasses up his nose by the bridge-piece. "I hope you brought your A-game, because I won't be rounding grades."

 

Alright, what other cards can I use? Surely I haven't exhausted my entire repertoire on camera yet... OK, here we go...

Note: I decided to stop doing Mauvache's announcements since you've seen it and this goes faster

Elijah vs Aria

 

Battlefield: Hotel Beachfront

A long, 200 by 50 feet, beach. Complete with sunbathers and swimmers. The water is part of the battlefield and goes out another 50 feet wide, with the deepest part being 10 feet deep. The virtual beach-goers don’t cause any damage but they can disrupt attacks and make it hard to maneuver. Every fives minutes waves come in and covers the beach with water, knocking unsteady fighters off their feet and sweeping them into the deeper parts of the water. After each 100 damage done, something special will occur.

---

Xia Vs Angela

 

Battlefield: Helicopter

Taking place inside of a large transport helicopter; this battlefield is quite small. Only 20 feet wide and 40 feet long. It is impossible to leave the helicopter and any attempts will be blocked by an invisible wall. It seems to be unremarkable besides this. However once enough damage is done something will appear alongside of the helicopter.

Day 3, 1:00, Virtual Battlefield Room - Demon's Stomach

Points: 122

W/L Record: 1/1

"Oh I figured that much out, Snow Angel. In case you hadn't noticed, I've been purposely keeping my distance. I needed to get some readings and information off you. And right now, I can definitely tell you're trying not to use that left arm of yours. My bots showed that out of all the areas around you that is in a cold temperature...your left arm is by far the coldest."

 

"Is that so?" she asked. The way she said it sounded pretty confident, but she was starting to have some concerns, if Gavin knew she was up to something. I might have to end this faster than I thought at first.

 

"Meaning! As long as I keep away from that left side, then I should be alright."

 

Then he rushed her. If it weren't for her heavy gear, she would have definitely been able to avoid the attack, but with how it weighed her down and restricted her movement, the best she could hope for now was to brace herself against the impact and use the costume's insulation as padding against the attack. What she didn't expect, however, was the additional attack aimed at her leg. As Gavin's shield collided with her, the hook attack tripped the cryomancer up, causing her to land face-up on the mushy floor beneath her. She thought back to her first fight here, against Caleb.

 

She'd been on the ground against an up-close opponent then too. She would have won that fight in retrospect, if she hadn't gone after the monster. The same tactics would probably work here, right? Similar to in her first fight, Aurora created a dome of ice around herself and Gavin, though it took a moment to properly form and stabilize rather than the much faster dome from the first fight, due to using only one arm while her left arm continued storing up frigid power.

 

"You're stuck here with me now," Aurora said. Under the mask and scarf, Aurora was absolutely grinning at her opponent, not that he could see it. A large cube of ice formed over her right arm as she continued "I usually prefer fighting at a distance, but I never said I was a pushover up close either." Now armed in her own way, Aurora made for the now-short distance between herself and Gavin, swinging with the block of ice affixed to her arm. She didn't care where she hit him; just that she landed something.

 

I should have that finishing move ready any second now.

[👀 REP 👀]

The beauty about being a small target in something that made you appear larger than you were is that you were harder to hit. As soon as she felt something enter the range of her electrical aura, the electricity magnified and she soon zipped forward in a burst of flight while aiming to land a blind smack with her tail at whatever tried to jump her. Turning in the air, she saw the odd person wearing something new, something she recognized from the ‘sniff sniff’ she had been doing. ”Haws yu gits awmows,” she asked in a surprised chirp due to the pitch in her voice going high, with Cyan’s only saving grace in understanding her was the translations being sent to his watch.

While flying through the air, he saw the dragon start zipping towards him. Not having any of that, the demon quickly disappeared into a poof of smoke, appearing on the ground behind the dragon. As he reappeared, he heard a voice come from his watch. He grinned. “Wouldn’t you like to know” He smirked, tapping on the purple substance on his chest. As he did, the armor shifted slightly, although the dragon wouldn’t have enough time to see as the demon would disappear in a puff of smoke again, the trail vaguely pointing upward.

Looking up, Tesability hopped up into the air before flying after the trail, breathing lightning after the wisps in hopes to damage the foe in his unusual state, easily able to keep pace with the fleeing person.

Finding him has become as easy now as ‘sniff sniff’ to her, though she put more power into making sure she hit everything, Bug Not!NetMonsters that tried to sting her be damned as she continued to swat away the ones that tried to sting her with her tail, though she couldn’t stop them all.

As the demon heard the familiar sounds of sniffing, he saw the dragon chase closely after him. “Good!” He exclaimed out loud, laughing as he lunged towards the dragon as she popped up. He grit his teeth as he lunged straight into the electric attack, although he did not stop his assault. Instead, his strange armor took the blunt of the attack, shredding off of him like goo as he flew forward and lunged his rapier at his assailant.

The rapier stopped mid-path, stopped by the top of the dragon’s skull surprisingly. Weapon connecting with the one point of her body that refused to ever break, Tesability surrounded herself with electricity once more before the rapier could leave her head, almost guaranteeing the nastiest of zaps.

His weapon hit its mark, although not in the way the demon had hoped for. He grit his teeth, unleashing a flamethrower from the tip of the rapier as he felt a shock travel from his weapon onto him, causing him and his weapon to jolt back from the shock. One would notice that the whole blade part of the rapier was now on fire, although it was seen within the smoke emitting from it caused by the rain. “Is that all you got!?” He shouted, quickly rushing in for another attack.

This time ready for it, wings stretched out before the little dragon zipped into the air, narrowly avoiding the rapier that clipped near the tip of the silver leaf on her tail. Out of view, she rubbed the hot spot on her skull for a second, slightly surprised that she even felt the heat. Taking advantage of her height, she allowed the rain to fall on top of the hot spot before flying back down quietly towards the odd... person?

She really needed to figure out what exactly her opponent was, so she can stop questioning it…

Low to the ground, she watched her opponent for a moment, black eyes narrowed at him. Only when he approached the foliage that she wove herself into did he suddenly get a breathful of lightning aimed at him.

As he searched for the dragon, he heard the faint sound of crackling thunder coming from in front of him. He grinned before disappearing into a puff of smoke, which was violently shredded by a breath of lightning. Instead of fading away, however, he appeared right behind the foliage where the dragon was hiding. Immediately as he appeared behind the dragon, he reached into the bush with his arm in an attempt to grab the dragon. Should he grab her, the dragon would feel an incredibly strong grip grasp her.

“EEP!” Cyantrax got lucky, got her right by the tail, and due to the nature of her tail, the leaf at the tip would prevent an easy escape. She responded to this the one way she knew how, with a surge of lightning going directly into the demon, both with the electricity generated around her and with a breath of lightning aimed back at him, with the former method showing no signs of stopping.

“FU​CK!” He shouted as the lighting breath struck him, although he wasn’t about to let go that easily. As the surge of electricity flowed through him, his hand lit aflame as he pulled the dragon out of the shrub and towards him. It was a shame, he had a nice one-liner he wanted to say, but it was hard enough to keep his grip on something that was electrocuting him as it is. Instead he grit his teeth, before letting out a shout directed at the dragon. As he did, a torrent of flame erupted from his mouth and towards the dragon, his fiery grip only tightening.

Her one thought was ‘leggomytail’ as she tried to pull it out of the foe’s grip, her constant wiggling and moving making it a pain to keep the flame fully on her. At one point, she even spun him a full 180-degrees to get him to let go of her tail. “Leggo, leggo, LEGGO!”

“This one's a fighter!” He thought to himself as the dragon moved around wildly. “You want me to let go?” He mocked, grinning. “Ok!” He waited for the dragon to toss herself towards the tree to his right before suddenly tossing the dragon in that direction, using the dragon’s own momentum to send her flying. A trail of smoke followed her from where the demon had gripped her tail.

It wasn’t long before she did end up going towards that direction and the demon let go, causing her to go headfirst into one of the trees with a resounding ‘THUD!’ mirroring almost a loud bell that would be heard throughout the entirety of the field.

There was a large crack in the tree hit that soon disappeared, but the dragon was only flopped on her stomach from impact for only a moment before getting up and flying back towards Cyan with electrified claws. A trail of hornets followed after her, stinging quickly before many of them falling to a sudden surge of electricity surrounding her.

Stinging Saber + Stinging Saber

Though she was more than irked to register the words that just came from Cyan’s watch, she raked the air with both of her small paws, causing an X-pattern of electricity to fly far ahead of her towards the red being.

Cyan watched as the dragon got up and charged towards him. Cyan shook his head as the dragon came towards him, and simply laughed when the dragon’s attack flew right through a patch of smoke. “C’mon, a head-on attack? Just how slow do you think I am!” He mocked from the sidelines as the dragon obliterated any trace of smoke that had been there, keeping a close eye on the dragon.

Right now, clear thought was a luxury. The dragon had fallen back into programmed instincts, black eyes scanning the area for the foe’s location, focusing on the strange armor he had been wearing. She soon spotted him, but acted as if she hadn’t, instead flying off more towards one side while her mind kept calculation on Cyan’s estimated location using both the scan and the auditory scans she kept up through her leafy ears.

The demon smirked as he saw the dragon veer off to the side. “What, ya tryin to hit me when I dodge? It won’t be that easy!” He cackled as he slowly walked towards the dragon. He kept his eyes locked onto his opponent, prepared for any sudden movement. “Or do you actually have a plan in that thick skull of yours!?” He mocked.

It follows, a small part of the dragon’s computerized brain thought as she flew toward, weaving through the trees until she found a chain that she could weave through and make it look like she disappeared behind any of them. A couple of times while doing this, however, a pair of leopards pounced at her, one narrowly missing, the other raking a wing. Despite the attacks, she took advantage of the trees’ positioning to fully disappear from current view, making herself seem as small as possible and keeping her yellow wings and silver ears and tailtip hidden.

He grinned wildly. “Hiding now, are ya!?” He mocked as his eyes took a yellow glow. None could hide from his Hellseeing Eyes… or so he thought. He was surprised to see nothing change, no signs of life or anything outside of the wildlife. “What the fu​ck are you!?” He remarked as his eyes returned to normal. This put a damper in his plan, but no matter. He simply stabbed his blade into the ground and waited for the dragon to ambush him.

The one thing he was probably not anticipating was a sudden headshot to the crotch from ground level position, no electricity beforehand to give her away. She had emerged partially from the dirt to get as low as she did.

The dragon’s head just barely missed the demon as she flew pass some more smoke. “Close!” He shouted. “Probably would of worked on any of the other bastards here, honestly. Maybe you don’t realize that I’m a motherfucking demon!” He shook his head.


”Wha’sh ah ‘dehmons’,” was the response she gave to that, Cyan’s watch translating once again. ”Ai no nowsh owf eenie Dehmon NetMonshetews.” She landed on top of a low branch as she responded, eyes narrowed at him.

“The fu​ck is a ‘NetMonshtew’?” He replied, using air quotes and a mocking tone as he spoke. He found it interesting… some people had different ideas of what demons were, while this one didn’t even know what a demon was. “We can have a lovely chat later if you want… or can.” He remarked. “Right now, though…” He snapped his fingers, the sword that was right next to him disappearing into flames before returning to his hand. He aimed the rapier at the dragon. “We’ve got a fight to finish.”

Tremendous Blow

The dragon hadn’t looked like she had disappeared from his view before the attack was called, but the dragon disappeared from view a moment before an attack was aimed at the small of his back via a white-glowing skull belonging to a little black dragon.

He grinned as he took the hit on his back. “There you go! Finally using that brain of yours!” He cackled as he stumbled forward a bit. As he appeared to try and catch his footing, a fireball formed right below the dragon’s stomach, exploding as soon as it formed. He turned to the dragon. “What else ya got?”

Blackened scales turned even blacker for a bit as she flew up, though not up too high into the canopy this time. At a random moment did she suddenly fly back down as a literal lightning bolt, aiming to plow the ‘demon’ into the ground literally.

“You were doing so well too...” He shrugged as he watched the dragon fly upward, expecting another attack. And another attack was launched indeed, as Cyan saw something bright above him. The demon dodged the attack by turning into smoke yet again, sighing as he did. “What did I tell you about attacks like that?”

If he was paying attention, when the smoke fully cleared... only half of the dragon was above the ground, hindpaws kicking around and tail whipping about as the front half was literally buried into the ground. She half-buried herself upon the impact.

“Now look at what you did...” He shook his head as he walked towards the dragon. “Maybe I should grab that tail of yours again… hmm...” He thought about it, although he then remembered the shock that the dragon had given him last time. He’d rather avoid that. “I think I have a better idea...” He prepared to slash at the dragon with his sword.

While the little dragon was half-buried, she wasn’t completely defenseless. The leaf-tipped tail whipping around could slice if she wanted it to, and it was slashing at anything it could hit. The demon would not be able to approach without getting slashed at least once from the wild swinging and a slash he did take upon the approach.

“Fiesty one.” He remarked as he blocked one of the tail swings with his rapier as he got too close, interrupting his slash. “Have it your way, then.” He shrugged as he aimed his sword at the dragon, unleashing a flamethrower of hellfire at her.

While her hindquarters got good and roasted, it seemed like there was less and less of her above the ground until...she completely disappeared into the hole she made. There was no way the demon was gonna fit down there and the dragon seemed to know that, for she snuck her snout out and blew a raspberry at him before diving underground again.

“That’s your plan to avoid my fire?” He cackled as he dashed forward, sticking his rapier into the hole in the ground before unleashing a torrent of flames in it. “Dodge that!” He laughed maniacally.

Next thing he knew, there was a head connecting to his ass from behind him. The dragon had burrowed herself out nearby, almost immediately behind him, and potentially knocking him forward on impact. The fire that Cyan shot into the hole the dragon created upon impact shot itself out towards the hole at the other end, causing the stream to shoot up towards the tree branches above. Either way, the NetMonster blew another raspberry at him before taking to the air again.

He sighed annoyingly as the dragon bumped him forward, ending the stream of fire. As the dragon shot up into the air, he saw a swarm of hornets charge towards him from the tree’s above. While he was able to burn most of them to the ground, some of them managed to sting him a bit.

Unlike before, the dragon decided to do something a little different, and that was to fly in a circle around the demon with electricity coursing through her, creating an electrified whirlwind around Cyan.

Stinging Saber + Tremendous Blow

The attack announcement was the only warning Cyan got when she zipped out of the whirlwind towards Cyan to try for one more strike to the back of the head, electrified with her skull glowing white once more.

The demon watched as the dragon circled around him. He sighed, very clearly having lost what little patience he has had. “Fu​ck it, we’re going with plan B!” He shouted, waiting to see what the dragon would do. When the move was announced from his watch, the dragon charged at him. This time he didn’t try to dodge it - instead, he stood there as the NetMonster barreled towards him, slamming his weapon onto the ground. He stretched out his arms as the dragon slammed into his chest, causing him to slide backwards as the electricity surged through his body. However, as soon as he started sliding, he grappled the dragon in his arms. “I’LL CRUSH YOU!” He barked, partially due to the pain from the electricity. As his grip on the dragon tightened, his body ignited into flames, burning both him and the dragon.

“EEP!” she found herself exclaiming as she found himself forced into a normally-back-breaking ‘hug’ upon being grappled, causing her forelegs to be pinned and her hindlegs to scratch against the demon’s legs in an attempt to get out. Wings flapped as much as they could move as the tail whipped into either side of the demon to slice into him. For all her wiggling, it became clear that her strength was in her speed, not in raw strength.

“Gotta hand it to ya... wasn’t expecting you to put up a good fight.” He grinned wickedly as the dragon struggled to break free, sweat that immediately evaporated forming on his brow. He inhaled, ready to let out a spray of hellfire from his mouth when she tried to reach up to literally bite his face. Before her bite could reach him, however...
 

 
Instead of fire, only smoke came out of the demon's mouth. His grip on the dragon loosened as the fire around him became smoke. Both of their health had been ticking away at an alarming rate due to their attacks and, while the dragon's health was dropping faster, the demon simply did not have enough health to race her damage. The forest around them began to fade much like the smoke surrounding the fighters.

The fighters would return to where they started before the fight, standing in the all too familiar room. Just as it always had after a fight, the screen showed the end score of the fight.

 

Cyanthrax: 0 HP
Tesability: 20 HP
Winner: Tesability by knockout

 

"FU​CK!" Cyanthrax shouted angrily, being so close from victory yet again, and in an all too similar fashion to his first. Maybe lighting himself on fire wasn't an optimal strategy, although it seemed to work just fine back in his world. He'd have to figure out how the system worked at some point. Until then though...

 

He pointed his finger at Tesability. "You might of won this time, but next time I'll crush you!" He barked, although he had a slight grin on his face, before turning and walking out of the room.

[Tesability Black]

Ow.

 

Ow.

 

Ow.

 

Hot foot.

 

Hot foot.

 

Ow.

 

The dragon was stepping about with tender paws, still feeling the heat from the recent inferno she was in. While she was unharmed in any real sense, she still felt hot under the scales as she gingerly pawed her way out of the Arena, not bothering to respond to the words aimed at her back. Her hindquarters felt the most roasted out of all of her, and the gingerness she took to walking with the backpaws was extremely noticeable.

 

"Tu hawts," she whined as she finally left the Arena, feeling the cool air hit her scales. Taking in the cold wind, she stretched her wings to fly, remembering that she had planned on doing something before the whole meeting with the new person to the Arena. "Oopsh," she exclaimed to herself before beginning the hunt for the Photo Shoot person she needed to see the before the week was up.

 

What she hadn't seen was that her point total had shifted from 120 to 150 on her watch from the fight.

[Super Chaos Sonic]

 

 

Gavin had a scenario play in his mind almost immediately as Aurora made the ice dome. This wasn't what he was expecting at all right now, but that was the least of his worries. Aurora had now closed the distance between him and her, with a large ice cub club formed on her right arm. Sheesus!! he thought, moving slightly as her arm collided with his Dark Energy Shield.

 

"Gavin. La energía de Dark Energy Shield comienza a agotarse a un ritmo alarmante." VEX piped up from the MOVA. From this, he caught 'Dark Energy Shield', which didn't sound good.

 

"Still can't...understand you VEX!" Gavin shouted, being pushed back some by Aurora's melee strike. "P-Plus...I'm in a bit of a bind. sheet..." he muttered before grunting and pushing his Dark Energy Shield forward, trying his best to push Aurora's arm back. However, when he did, his shield was immediately turned off. Damn...don't tell me the shield's energy is running low. Gavin thought, before shifting Aquila in his other hand. I'm gonna have to do whatever I can to keep going!

 

Without much of another thought, Gavin swung his boomerang to have it clash against Aurora's icy blocked arm...right now he needed to just survive at this moment.

[LordCowCowCowCowCowCowCowCow]

Tesability

 

Before the Netmonster was able to leave the area in search of a photographer she'd be stopped suddenly as a small, round, robot zipped out in front of her and began making clicks and beeps as it floated in circles around her head.

 

A few moments later a young, not quite adult, boy came up to the pair. He was standing on top of what seemed to be a round disk with some kind of device attached to the bottom which slightly hovered above the ground. The boy had red skin and was bald, with a pair of goggles settled on the top of his head. "There you are SAD been looking all over for ya...Oh hey, look who it is!" He jumped off of the disk he was standing on and hurried over towards Tesability.

 

"You're the strange digital dragon girl right? Radical! Okay, listen listen listen, I'm Erik. I was called here to fix some bugs in the Arena program. But what awesome timing! I could use your help! There's one bug I've been having some trouble tracking down but if I have YOU you can chase the rascal and gobble it up right?"

 

The boy seemed to be so full of energy that he didn't even realize how much he was dumping on Tesability without explanation.
