Sweat poured down Kerri's body, the heat of the fireball was intense, even for her, but still a little voice inside her gave a sigh of relief. Though Kerri was sure it was not all the dragon beast in front of her was capable of, there was no better attack that Kerri was suited to defend against then fire. Holding her hands foward, Kerri shouted a single demonic word and the fireball quickly changed to the dark green of Kerri's own flames. Still flying through the air, the fireball seperated into two and veered to the left and right respectivly, eventually slamming into the walls of the arena with the sound of a napalm blast. "Whew..."
Still sweating, Kerri felt slightly better, then all at once worse. Remembering that her fire had done nothing to him earlier, she realized that she had little, if any, ways to mount a counter offensive. Seeing him gasp in another breath, Kerri broke out running in a circle around the beast. While she was stumped on how to fight back, Kerri was certainly not going to let the beast catch her standing still with an attack that she couldn't just turn away like the last one. "This can't get any worse..."

From the stands, Azmaru looks down at the fight...and the man commenting about the fight.
He begins to laugh.
"Pumpkin pie? Isn't that a bit cruel?"
He then focused more on the action. "I wonder, can she win?"

The beast could see her frustration. For the sake of the battle, he hoped she had more than fire on her side. Even more so, he hoped he could stay in this form long enough to end the battle. Perhaps a different form would be more suiting? Yeah. all the same defense, less energy needed.
The beast let out a roar, a mighty one. With a swish of its tail, it's wings folded down. Slowly the beast began to shrink, and then, once its equilibrium had returned, it backed on to it's hind legs. It looked to be just a bit bigger than a large man, but it still had dragonic features, and wild tail. It's feet were very big, large enough to break through walls, most definately.
And then, suddenly... A yellow light circled around the beast, and it slowly took shape in the visage of strong armor, protecting the monster. He had taken on the form of a Dragoon, the lizard warriors.
"Now then, let's finish this." It grabbed for the coffin, which had reformed over his back. From that, he pulled what seemed to be the same rope. However, it had turned to a green colour, and appeared more metallic. And there was something more... Thorns? Yes, thorns had appeared on the rope. It was in effect, a metal vine. He cracked it like a whip, and let out one more roar.

Kerri stopped in her tracks, seeing the dragon reform into a new beast. Spiting, she began to curse herself. "You got to be kidding."
Balls of fire formed in Kerri's hand. But instead of throwing them, she lifted her hands up and they floated away from her, and began to orbit her. The orbs of flame stayed around her as she moved. Biting her lip, she was sure she was going to regret her next attack plan, but it may be her only choice. Two demonic words left her mouth and flames surrounded her feet, and she broke out in a run toward Gath. Jumping into the air she soared like missle, and as she drew closer she spun quickly bringing a foot down in an axe kick. All the while, she hoped that her flames would provide some kind of protection though she wasn't relying on them.

And then, with the greatest of ease, he blew out a dusty blue powder, it shimmered in the air. The summer dew caught in the wind suddenly turned to frost in the path of the icy dust. It headed straight towards her, proving to be a distastrous wall between him and her.
As if the gossimer wind wasn't enough of a threat, he brought back his hand, and let his whip fly at her. It cut through the air like a knife through hot slush, and even sped through the dust, becoming laced with a blizzard as it passed through the dust. It would surely reach her first.

Kerri gasped. Her attack wasn't just going to fail, it was going to hurt. The orbs of flames flew foward and quickly exploded into a towering inferno melting the ice into a useless mist. However, Kerri could not stop herself and as the whip flew foward it sliced into her leg and up to just above her hip. Blood shot out and as she landed on the ground, her injured leg collapsed under her in a shot of pain and she rolled to the ground landing at Gath's feet. Staring up at him with wide eyes filled with pain she reacted on instinct and shoved hands foward, palms out. "Κόλαση του ήλιου!"
Two holes formed in Kerri's hands, and instead of the normal green fire that Kerri had been using, the fire of Hell itself exploded out into a streaming geyser, point blank at Gath. Kerri screamed in pain as the attack was causing intense pain to her hands, which was understandable, since the flames were not just melting what it touched, but completely disengrating it....

Reacting entirely out of instinct, and thankful for it, the monster pumped his powerful legs and shot up into the sky. The force of slamming his leg onto the ground, powered him upward at least 200 feet. He cleared the walls with ease, but remained within judged limits. Knowing he may have to move, he quickly flashed his scales back to the red colour.
The speed at which he did this caused him some pain, but he had served enough torture in his life to take it. Thick wnigs unfurled, which after few flaps served him the courtesy of remaining airborne. He had seen enough streams of fire in his lifetime to know that they can change direction at the drop of a hat. He needed a plan to keep this one at bay.
With some force, he pulled one of the 'mystery bags' from his waist, and readied himself for the oncoming attack.

Gritting her teeth and trying to block out the blinding pain, Kerri rose to her knees. The stream of hell fire was spewing around the stadium and as it hit the sand of the arena floor, it turned it to glass from the heat. With a grunt of effort Kerri yanked her arms upward, the fire shooting up in an acute angle and looking like a fountain. "Κόλαση του ήλιου!"
Kerri screamed the words again and the marble sized holes grew even larger on Kerri's hand, letting more fire out into the air. Kerri wasn't going to be able to keep the attack up much longer, with blood lose catching up to her, if she didn't get a hit soon, the rest of the fight would be a struggle...

The ground had indeed turned to glass, and it had made for a rather interesting situation. The air was hot, hotter than anything he had experienced before. He knew the scales that marked his body were the only thing protecting him from the burning oxygen. He feared the worst if he were to revert to human-form, but he was getting tired of this form. He wanted to change to something different, but he wasn't certain how he could do that.
He attended to the mystery bag for now. Throwing off the rope, he grinned as he looked at the insides of the mystery bag.
Pouring out the contents of the bag, he watched as they plummetted down towards the ground. His wings were growing heavy, his energy was dropping. He felt that the best place to be was on the ground, so with a sigh, he closed them up and melted them away.
Smash! He hit the the ground hard, and glass shards soon became shrapnel in the air. With a fiery breath of air, the glass soon became airborne projectiles, heading straight towards his enemy.

Orion was watching the battle in his dragon form in the stands. He heard that there is a elementalist here, so he came to watch hoping to learn something. Desided to practice he focused and tried something new. He closes his dragon eyes for a second and put energy around his body. He focus and flames form around his body. They start out small, but they grow. They start to move around some, but when he opens his eyes they go out. He continues to watch the fight.

Kerri was a normally graceful person, but with her current situatuion Kerri made one of the least graceful dives foward from her kneeling position. The hellfire stopped flowing as she lost concentration, and her wound ripped open even more. Even with her lurch foward a single glass piece found her shoulder and impaled her all the way to the other side. Kerri let out a whimper of pain as she landed on her other shoulder. Breathing shallow, and bleeding profusly, it took great effort for her to move to her knees and then her feet. One hand on her shoulder, she began walking foward slowly with pain filled steps. "Monster.... I will not... fail..."
Kerri's eyes turn green with flame and she begins to speak in demonic, but only makes it half way through the second word when it all goes black. The blood loss proves too much, and the pain in her body finally forces her stubborn brain into submission. Kerri gasp for breath as first her legs give out. Kerri's face is filled with pain as she looked down at the floor realizing she was not going to make it. Seeing the blood pooling below, her last thought was of failing her father....
Kerri fell foward and onto the floor. Out cold, and out of the battle, the little girl known as Kerri lay silent and unmoving.
The battle was over....

Orion seeing that the match is over already he frowned as a dragon would. He wounders if he should do anything to help out after the judge says the match is over. He wishes that he was able to see the one of them use a elemental attack. He noticed that Alena is sitting near him. She gets up and walks up to Orion. "You are woundering if she was a elementalist?" Orion nods. Alena looks at the girl laying in the glass and sand. "Not really sure. She said some words in another languge, and than used fire. You know that someone had payed me to revive Seth, but that was not needed."

Our hero dropped his form, slowly reverting back to a human. The same light from his armor appeared around him, reverting into his clothing. He had changed back, clearly to prevent further energy loss.
However, it seemed that he hadn't even noticed that Kerri was out yet. Had the battle gone on longer, would our hero've been able to keep up that form any longer? We would only know if she were to rise at that very moment.
Broken shards of glass smashed under his foot with each step. His heavy boots crushed each piece into something smaller. He let out a disdainful laugh, a tired guffaw.
"Are... you... really out?" His voice was slow between gasps of air. But he had seen enough tricks in his lifetime to know that a battle that is over, may not be a battle that is won.

Kerri's eyes blinked open with a start. Had she passed out? Her arms went to her sides and she pushed down on the glass and sand floor slightly, so that she could raise her head. She saw Gath standing in front of her. How had she gotten to the floor? No doubt he had attacked and she hadn't seen it. But if that was true, why hadn't he finished her? Was he showing mercy? Kerri had many thoughts racing through her head, but only one mattered now. If she was alive, then this fight was not over. Kerri opened her mouth to speak, but instead blood leaked out of her throat. As the blood hit the floor looked down on it and her last memory hit her. She had left a spell up in the air, if she didn't finish it right away, it woud kill her. "πτήση του Φοίνικας!"
Kerri yelled out the words in a raspy and gasped voice. Kerri knew what was coming, and braced herself to the new pain she had just invoked on herself. Green flame exploded all over her body, covering her like a blanket. The flames burned her all over, and only her natural resistance to it was keeping her from becoming ash. After a few seconds of pain the green flame seperated from Kerri and into the air. The fire twisted and reformed into what looked like giant bird of flame. It was in fact, the fire of a phoenix. A long tail formed and its beak opened in a loud screech. It turned its head down at Gath, and suddenly dived. Flames were left in the bird's trail, as it swooped past Kerri and head on with it's target.
Kerri herself had flipped onto her back from the pain and was able to look down at her body. The wounds of earlier were burned shut, but were still tender and threatened to reopen. Kerri managed to bend her kneck to watch the phoenix fly. She wasn't even sure if the fight had still been on, but if she hadn't finished the spell, the phoenix would have killed from inside. If the fight was still on, Kerri was not really fit to fight, and the phoenix was all that stood between her and a hopefully merciful execution from Gath.

He was burnt out, done with any transformation yet. But unlike any other warrior, years of his uncles treachery and his brothers deception had prepared him for after the fact techniques. He was ready for this attack, but could he dodge it?
He did not move, he stood still, and opened his arms, accepting her final wish. This would hurt, but he had no energy to run. He didn't know how strong this technique was,
Unless... Yes! The second bag! He snapped it from his waist tossed to the ground. The arena suddenly became coated in thick smoke, covering the entire area. He could barely see the hands in front of his face, let alone his opponent.
He readied himself for this move, knowing it would be between him and a loss. This was it, this was the first round.
