The woman slowly made her way out into the arena, walking casually as if she were simply walking into an ice cream parlor. Her eyes were downcast, golden coloured optics staring blankly at the ground ahead of her.
Her long black hair flowed slightly in the breeze, and long black bangs hung in her eyes, casting eerie shadows upon her face.
Her skin was very pale, appearing almost white. The rest of her features were placed almost perfectly upon her face.
She wore simple black, baggy pants that extended slightly past her boots. Her pants had many pockets running up and down the sides of the legs for use of storing small projectiles, or other small items.
Her boots were black leather, and extended all the way to her shins. The boots were polished to a fine shine, and had rubber soles on them so she would have good traction. The rubber soles were a few inches thick, making her appear taller than what she was, which was 5'8.
Her shirt was a simple black cotton like material, and was done like a turtleneck. Though, it had no sleeves on it, and the shirt extended a bit past her waist.
She wore a simple silver belt across her waist, and another belt crossing over that belt in a sort of 'x' formation.
Also, her attire included black gloves that extended up to her elbows, and the fingertips of the gloves had been sloppily sliced off.
She also wore a simple, silver dragon necklace around her neck.
Her weapon is an Odachi, five feet in length. It was crafted from steel and titanium, making it very durable. The blade is four inches wide, and is double edged. Each edge was hammered down to a mere razor like edge, giving it a nice clean cut.
The blade is filled with a black like dye, made specially for it. The metal had been mixed with a certain concoction, making the metal transparent so the black dye in the blade could be seen, making the entire blade appear black, with a simple silver stripe in the middle where the metal had been hammered together instead of being filled with dye.
The tip of the blade was also hammered and crafted to a razor like tip, making it very able to pierce things. The tip is reinforced with a titanium covering hammered down to the steel in the blade, making the tip harder to break. Tracing the blade down, you would find the hilt (of course..>_>)
The hilt is a simple hilt, made of solid titanium melted directly to the blade that also extended beneath the hilt, and wasn't just melted directly to the tip of the hilt. The hilt was covered in a thin layer of sturdy oak, and had elastic mixed with rubber strands wrapped around it, giving it a 'no slip' grip also. The rubber strands were wrapped around the hilt in a spiral, and the rubber strands were dyed a dark red. The elastic was black, and wrapped a bit above the rubber strands in a spiral also, giving the whole hilt a spiralish look. The hilt was 2 feet in length. The pommel of the sword was a silver colour, made also of titanium. The pommel extended 2 inches out from the hilt, and the pommel was a simple spike with smaller spikes extending from it. The large spike came out into a dull point, that would require a bit of force to actually impale somebody. The small spikes were also dull, and they extended from the large spikes in various patterns.
The guard of the Odachi was a simple guard, once again, also made of titanium. The guard was 4 inches wide, and rectangle shaped going all the way around the hilt area. The guard was silver, and had little spikes coming out every half inch. These spikes were razor sharp.
The scabbard of her sword is a simple oak scabbard, hanging from her left side. It is fastened on to her by a simple black leather strand that goes around her right shoulder, and another strap that extends around her waist. The straps were fastened at an angle, giving her sword a slight tilt forward in the way it hung.
The scabbard was done exactly the same as the hilt of her sword was, red rubber spiraled strips, and black elastic wrapped around it. Only, the end of the scabbard was shaped to a dull point, so if necessary, it could be used as a very bad weapon, but still a weapon indeed.
The inside of the scabbard was of course, Oak. But it was padded with a smoothed down cotton like material that went around the entire inside. The cotton was a greyish colour, also dyed. The smoothing down of this interior would allow the sword to pass in and out of the sheath without being hindered, and the extra padding on the inside of the scabbard would make the sword stay put better, instead of merely sliding out if someone tipped it upside down.
The woman sighed as she entered this area, annoyed at the constant roaring of the crowds. Never once did she raise her eyes at anything, she merely stood there with her hands relaxed at her sides, eagerly awaiting the arrival of her opponent.

Suddenly, opposite of her appeared a figure, dark robes draped across his body, they shimmered like stars reflecting off water, and seems to ripple like water as the robes swish in the wind.
From under the hood glows a pair of eyes, the pupils are indigo-silver, the irises glow like emerald fire, and from there on the eyes are bright red.
In one black-gloved hand he holds a ball that looks to be made of nothing but solid steel, roughly bigger than a baseball, as he tosses it up and down, catching it each time.
Suddenly, small flames of a bright green fire appear around him, and orbit around him at changing degrees, just circling, the heat coming off them is intense, but the figure doesn't seem to care as he continues to toss the ball up and down, up and down...

The woman finally raised her head, staring her opponent straight in the eyes. She merely raised her eyebrow at his odd appearance, and sighed deeply, her blood red lips changing slowly into a slight smirk.
Her gloved left hand was wrapped around the hilt of her Odachi at her left side, anxiously gripping it as she could almost hear the bloodthirsty call coming from the gleaming blade.
Slowly, she slid her right foot slightly farther back than her left foot, dragging it in the sand and turning it at a 90 degree angle to the right. She braced it against the ground, stiffening her leg slightly.
She moved her left fist up to where her waist was, balling it in a fist that was tight, yet not too tight. She brought her right fist up and positioned it directly across from the edge of her chin, also balling it in a fist that wasn't too tight.
The woman stood there, the hot breeze ruffling her hair slightly, causing loose strands of bangs to fall in her blazing eyes. Her eyes were fixed upon nothing, as she stared not at her opponent, but past him, as though she were simply looking straight through him.
Suddenly, her lips parted, and an audible sound could be heard..Not too loud, and not too quiet, her voice was an eerie melody, playing softly in the ears of all who were within range to hear the vibrations of the woman's voice. The voice had a hint of something more..Something..Horribly off. A small hint of something..Gruesome, and sinister.
"Come."

The eyes trained themselves on her, not tossing the ball anymore, then suddenly his eyes gleamed, as he threw the ball with blazing speed at her, and he vanished in a blaze of light, the balls of emerald fire still orbiting around where he was.
The ball just quite simply continues forward, advancing rapidly on her postion.

The woman merely blinked once when he disappeared from her sight, her right hand instinctively reaching down and grabbing the hilt of her blade tightly. Her eyes almost automatically started searching around the area for him, when her eyes locked onto the object flying quickly towards her.
The steel ball was flying fast, and she wouldn't have too much time to dodge it. Plus, there was no telling what else this attack could do, as simply throwing a ball at someone didn't seem like much of an attack, she assumed there was more to this attack that she could not perceive.
So, she made up her mind to simply let it fly past her, and not use any means of physical force to stop the flying object.
She let go of the hilt of the sword, and quickly threw her body back, her legs simultaneously backing up.
The ball flew right past her, inches from her face.
She gritted her teeth, but it could not be seen, as she wouldn't allow anything to show in front of these people. She kept her composure, allowing herself to breath regularly and deeply.
Immedietaly after this, she once more began scanning the arena with her eyes, looking for some sign of him. The emerald fire was something she assumed she'd need to worry about, so she kept it in her vision constantly. Her eyes kept searching, using her peripheral vision to keep the emerald fire, and the steel ball in sight.
She abrubtly took her right hand off of her sword, and simply put it behind her back, standing there silently and still searching, she waited to see what her opponent had up his sleeve next.

And there was her mistake. Fas always hated this part, especially when it happened to women, even if they were his opponets. As the ball shot by her face by inches, it suddenly became spikey and simualtainously explodes with the force of several sticks of dynamite. Now the reason Fas had vanished was clear, as the massive explosion would occor right beside her face, as well as shooting the spikes in all directions. Fas hated this, the explosion would mangle her pretty little face..."NO dammit, don't think like that fool." He thought to himself in his place of existance after his vanishment. He would reapppear as soon as the effects of the explosion were over, but first he'd let the smoke clear and see how his opponet did.

Instantly when the ball exploded, the woman made a move.
She wouldn't have much time to do..Well..Anything really.
She didn't like exploiting her abilities this early in a battle, but she supposed it was necessary if she wished to keep her life.
Her right hand, which was behind her back, suddenly shot straight out to her right as stiff as a board.
Her fingers that were extended suddenly started doing something..They started getting a heavy darkness upon them.
The heavy darkness quickly creeped up her arm, covering her entire arm in a dark shadow. This black shadow, continued to form around her, until it was around her whole figure.
It appeared as though she were stuck in a raincloud, as if she were a greyish colour.
She suddenly pushed the shadow forward, if forming a circular ball around her.
Fusing some of her energy (Her energy just looks like a white vapor lifting from her body and mixing itself into the shadow) from her body into this shadow, she made it solid. Basically, she made a shadow shield.
The explosions and spikes would hit the shield, immedietaly bouncing off afterwards.
She had hoped to immedietaly retaliate after this attack, but it'd be kinda hard to attack somebody who wasn't there.
So..She waited.

He suddenly reappeared in the center of the emerald flames, and suddenly vanished once again, reappearing behind you, and performed a unsheath-slash with Leinguard, the speed and force was such that it caused a large sonic boom. The blade would be able to pass through the sheild because light dissapates shadows, not dark energy. Since her energy needed the shadows to make the sheild, the attack would be effective.

As soon as he appeared behind her, she...Well she knew that it wouldn't go well for her.
As the Leinguard was no more than being pulled from the sheath, she had already darted forward. Stepping forward rapidly quite a few paces, she avoided his attack with ease, his blade not even being within range of her.
The shield around her disappeared, and she looked like her normal self 'gain.
Not wasting a moment of time, she went on the offense on her opponent. Immedietaly after his blade had swung and missed, she also immedietaly drew her blade. She took two steps forward, being now within range since her sword was quite a long sword, and she performed a horizontal slash from his right hip to his left shoulder.

As she turned around toward him, he rolled forward, keeping Leinguard to the right, and soon reached her, riseing, and pressing Leinguard against the parrying disk of her weapon, stepping on her right foot with his left. He then used his other hand and pointed it at her, open palmed, and drains some of the ultimo from Leinguard before it forming a ball in his hand. He then fired it, it fireing as a large beam that would blow both her and her weapon away if successful.
((Check my journal for a explanation of Ultimo. I'm Lazy.))

She wouldn't give him time to perform this..'Ultimo' thing on her. As soon as he stepped on her foot she reacted.
She immedietaly brought her left hand up, it not having been restrained in any form, and she stiffened it, her fingers extended straight out. She brought her arm up with an amazing speed, the arm starting to turn a blackened colour as the shadows crept up it. The shadows stopped about her shoulder, a fuzzy grey aura waving around her arm. Suddenly, she bolted the arm straight for his neck, the side of her hand hopefully would make contact with it. She struck with enough force to temporarily stop his breathing.
But, that wasn't all there was to the attack. The darkness that had formed around her arm wasn't there just for show. It would amplify her attack. She poured some of her energy into her shadowed arm. Small razor sharp shadow ridges started forming all over the shadow, making her arm and hand a deadly weapon.
If it hit his neck, it would no doubt kill him. She wasn't worried about that Ultimo attack either, since she performed this before he even brought his hand up, and if he tried to continue with his attack, he would die before he finished.
