Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Oui, I am a challenger."

The Dancer laughed.
"Izzat your nose, or some kind of food that got stuck there one day?"

Cyrano snarled and charged.

Still tired from his speed of sound charge, The Dancer was hit, slashed across the chest.
"Oh, you're good," he said, standing up.
His metronome quickened slightly, and he began a circular sword-dance around Cyrano.

"Hm. You move gracefully. I must commend you."

The Dancer charged.

The attack was blocked at the last minute by Cyrano's rapier.
"However, I'm faster."

(Insightful little bugger.)

Cyrano knocked The Dancer down.
"Make your next move."

"Oh, I'll make it allright, Monsieur Nez."

Cyrano growled, more livid than he had been in his entire life. No one had ever insulted him in his own language before.
He charged at The Dancer, with no regard for his own safety.

Luckily for The Dancer, he was near the edge.
He rolled away, causing Cyrano to fall off the edge.

Cyrano grabbed the side, just as he was falling.
As he pulled himself up, he gasped, "Victory is yours. You are truly a skilled fighter."

('Monsieur Nez' is fronounced 'messeur nay,' and it means 'mister nose.')

(( I thought there were no edges in this place... ))

Ami just watched the fight silently.

(( I keep forgetting about Ami... ))

((We already established that the arena floor could raise up if need be. Nerd agreed with that.))

((Thanks! xd Maybe he'll drop by before he's finished with the Library.))

A black fog enveloped the stadium, particularly: the stands. A gasp went up from the audience, and the two current fighters--a werewolf and a ninja--were blocked from view. A ghastly voice could be heard, and then the fog cleared. It seemed as if everyone but the ones sitting in Ami's stand had disappeared, seemingly.

Ami, Halcyon, and Nick were the only ones left.

Then the unknown Fatal was standing in the center of the arena, staring up at the grandstands. His voice echoed throughout the now-empty (sans the trio) stands.

"I challenge thee."

((I would prefer that, if anyone is going to attempt to interfere with this fight, such as Onnless or whoever, they wait until after Kasai and I have both posted after this current post of mine. Although I may be gone for any amount of time, only a couple seconds pass until Kasai has replied and then Fatal can act once again.))

Fatal nodded, eyes closed. "I recognize your agreement. This is a one-on-one match, no outside help. Your companions help, you lose. If I lose... well," Fatal said with a grin, "let's just say that your reward would be endlessly high."

A solid wall of transparent indigo separated Halcyon and Nick from Fatal and his challenger.

Halcyon was already banging against the wall. Her voice was muffled, but not inaudible. Ami could just barely hear her screaming, "No! Ami!"

Fatal was still grinning, however. The challenge had been accepted. Of course, Fatal did not wait for Ami to make the first move. Ladies first was for idiots, he would always say.

Lightning immediately shot from Fatal's fingertips, towards Ami. Small magic of the simplest variety, and yet--magic.

((I just realized: Veo and Ami are very similar.))

Fatal was cut through by the shuriken, and then the body of shadow disappeared, decoy having done it's job. Ami's very shadow was beginning to crawl up her leg, binding her in place and intangible at the same time. It could go no farther than the knees, but the job was done: Ami was immobilized.

((I realize that is god modding. You can get out of it if you wish. Generate light, eradicate shadows. Or disappear, if you want your ninja to be able to do that.))
