{Bobbi .:. Olympus .:. Coliseum}
Not even Bobbi was stupid enough to think she could dodge a lightning bolt, but it was worth a shot. Crossing her arms in front of her face, she dove to one side in a tumble, keeping her crossed arms facing Anthony, and attempting to keep the rest of her body behind her impromptu shield.
The bolt struck, and she cried out in pain as it split and raced up her arms, leaving scorched trails in her flesh. Tears stung her eyes and she literally felt her hair begin to lift from the static as her nerves tingled. When the bolt ended, she ran her hands up her arms, coating them in a thin sheet of ice to help numb the pain, and flexing her fingers to make sure her nerves were still responsive enough to allow some dexterity.
"Crap crap crap," she muttered when her fingers kept twitching out of her control. She wouldn't be able to draw, let alone shoot until the twitching stopped.

[Anthony ~.~ Olympus ~.~ Coliseum]
Bobbi's painful cry caused Anthony's heart to sink and his eyes to widen as an overwhelming sense of guilt and worry began to build up in his chest. "Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh," the young man repeated in panic as he rushed over to the girl. "Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry! Are you alright?" His tone was genuine and caring. He was sincerely apologetic. "I don't know if I could fight you without feeling bad and apologizing each time," he said, chuckling at the end. "If only you were a guy! Arg!" Though gender wouldn't have mattered anyway... he'd still feel bad for hitting someone, but at least hitting a male would've been more appropriate.
Anthony looked at the girl's arm, feeling absolutely terrible. He didn't know what to do other than what he'd normally do... offer her a hand. "Uh... So, like... do you, um... do you need help or anything?" he asked, sounding rather foolish since the two were suppose to fight each other.

{Bobbi .:. Olympus .:. Coliseum}
Bobbi chuckled at Anthony's panicked reaction to her pain. It was very endearing, and the fact that he was able to remember this was just a friendly match, not a fight to the death really put her at ease.
"Just surprised me is all," she said, shaking her hands rapidly even though she knew that wasn't going to help. She hadn't had circulation of blood cut off, after all! "Can't feel my fingers. Let me ground, hang on..."
She erected a short spike of ice in front of her, and placed the palms of her hands against the ice, letting the heat of her skin melt the surface of it. The water acted as a conductor for the electricity left in her system and she felt that familiar zap she got whenever she discharged static through one of the taps at home. Her fingers twitched a few more times, then she was able to control them completely again.
"You really wasted a good opening," she said as she stood, flexing each finger individually. "Don't worry about hurting me; this is a fight, after all." With that, she manifested a loosely-packed snowball in her hands and threw it right in his face. At the same time, she jumped backwards to get out of range of his sword before he retaliated.

[Anthony ~.~ Olympus ~.~ Coliseum]
Anthony sighed in relief, glad Bobbi was alright and not severely injured. The girl was right... he did miss an ample opportunity to attack her, a decision he'll probably regret later (especially since he's already beginning to feel the slow, creeping affects of fatigue). "Yeah, I know this is a fight," the young man said, "but I just don't like hurting others--especially if I like th--"
Suddenly! Snowball!
The warrior-knight's sentence was cut short as Bobbi's snowball collided with his face. The snow mostly gathered around his eyes, making it difficult for him to see what was going on. He paused and allowed some of the snow to trickle down his face before his completely wiped it away with his hand, only to discover Bobbi had already leaped away. "So you like to play dirty, huh?" Anthony shouted, flicking the snow and water off his hand. "Well, two can play at that!"
Suddenly, Anthony took flight, leaping several feet into the air. Once his momentum died, he angled himself in such a way where he'd swoop down and attempt to knock Bobbi down. "Aerial Swoop!" he shouted and began his descent at great spped!

{Bobbi .:. Olympus .:. Coliseum}
"The bigger the mess, the more fun you had!" the Archer retorted playfully. She watched as he leapt into the air, and instead of dodging this time, pulled an arrow from her quiver, and placed it against her bowstring, drawing it back until the fletching passed her ears.
As Anthony descended, she sighted along the arrow shaft and loosed, only to hastily take another arrow from her quiver, sight, and loose again. She did this repeatedly until the last possible moment, when she dove to one side again.

[Anthony ~.~ Olympus ~.~ Coliseum]
Obviously, Anthony had an act for acting without thinking... performing an aerial attack against an archer wasn't exactly smart, especially if you have no way of maneuvering yourself in a way to dodge attacks. Luckily, some of the arrows either flew passed him or scrapped his arms, sides, and legs; however, a couple managed to impale themselves into his right thigh and a single arrow in his arm. The warrior-knight came crashing down, hitting the floor with a loud thud, then skipping and rolling before his body slid to a stop. "Ow...," he groaned as he struggled to lift himself up, using is sword as an anchor to hold his weight. At least the area around his arm where Bobbi's arrow had sliced through earlier didn't hurt as much in comparison to his newer injuries.
Anthony rose to his feet, his breathing now shallow and shaky. He's seen the movies... pulling out the arrows would just do more harm than good. He began to snap the arrows, leaving the arrowheads in his body with a bit of the stem sticking out, then tossed the sticks aside. "Touche, marksman... er... markswoman...," the young man said in between breaths as he wiped the sweat from his brows with his gloves. Surely the arrows in his legs would affect his speed and the arrow in his arm his ability to swing his weapon. Things were not looking good for the swordsman.
"Curse my low stamina," Anthony thought to himself as he yanked his sword out of the ground, then turned to face Bobbi. "I gotta use all the trick I've got left before I collapse from exhaustion."
"I stand beside you, sire," encouraged Odin.
"Thanks, Odin. You're the best..."
Anthony closed his eyes and took in a deep breath then slowly exhaled it. As he did, clouds could be seen slowly forming above the two as lightning flashed and struck the floor around them, acting more like a prison than an attack. "Thunder..." Electricity can be seen slowly flashing into existence around his blade before a steady current of electricity encircled the blade. "Lightning coat." Suddenly, the young man's eyes snapped open as he shouted, "THE FINALE!" simultaneously perform a War Cry and increased both his Guard and Magic Defense by two for the next three turns. He dashed forward at Bobbi as fast as his legs would allow him despite his injuries, blade at his side slicing through the ground.
If allowed to get close enough, the warrior-knight would slash through Bobbi several times in all directions, then leap above her and dive down in a drill-like fashion for a final strike that would impale the archer and send high volts of electricity throughout her body.
((Of course, any part of the attack is dodge-able. o.o; Anthony is pretty injured and tired, so it's likely he's quite sloppy.))

((You have more endurance than I do, stats-wise. I think we're both wiped out by now, really. xd ))
{Bobbi .:. Olympus .:. Coliseum}
Bobbi knelt on the ground where her dodge had landed her, trying her hardest not to show how exhausted she was. She felt a little proud that her arrows had hit their marks--well, some of them anyway--and not anything vital on accident. She winced as he snapped the shafts off, but was pretty sure they'd re-manifest in her quiver like usual, leaving no traces of the arrow in Anthony's body. It would certainly help the healing later, she was sure. For now, though...
I don't think I can block this, she thought. Her chest was aching and burning, and already her muscles were quivering from the arduous chase through the stands. She wasn't going to last much longer here, either.
She dodged what she could, encasing herself in Frost Armor, allowing at least some protection against the thunder bolts. By the time Anthony had leapt into the air for the final strike, she was pretty much wiped out, and had several cuts despite her armor. She didn't have the strength to dodge, so she once again held up her hands to form a Mirror Wall as a shield, and braced herself for the impact.
"Oh, this is gonna hurt..." she muttered through clenched teeth.

[Anthony ~.~ Olympus ~.~ Coliseum]
With his sword held in both hands, stretched out above his head, Anthony began to descend in a drill-like fashion at immense speeds. The muscles in his body burned and ached, and the pain from his recent wounds were intensified due to the manner in which he fell. With ever second, his speed increased. The closer he drew, the larger Bobbi became in his perspective until he was finally at striking distance.
As soon as the warrior-knight's blade clashed with the ice archer's shield, the lightning around them stopped flashing and he stopped spinning. His attack was ineffective, doing no more damage than a simple scratch and not emitting enough force to cause Bobbi to stumble, let alone flinch. For a moment, he remained suspended in air before slowly planting his feet on the ground.
Immediately Anthony collapsed to his knees, then to his side. He dismissed Odyssey and rolled over onto his back and spread out his arms and legs, then exhaled loudly. "Phew! I'm tired!" he shouted, turning his head to look at Bobbi, then smiled. "All that jumping around and lightning really took a lot out of me... I think it's safe to say you won."

{Bobbi .:. Olympus .:. Coliseum}
Bobbi had braced for impact, expecting her Mirror Wall to shatter the second Anthony's sword made contact. Her entire body was shaking with the effort of expelling enough Mana to make the shield, keep her armor intact, and ready a Blizzard spell if she had to, but...
Well, that was anticlimactic.
As soon as Anthony's feet touched down, her knees gave out, and she landed on her rump with a "whumpf," the sound mostly caused by air escaping her lungs. It wasn't a sigh, she'd just landed so hard and didn't have the energy to spare paying attention to what her lungs and diaphragm did that it just kinda erupted.
"I what?" she asked, staring at Anthony dazedly. She blinked a few times, then started laughing. It started as a low chuckle, her shoulders bobbing in time with it, then erupted into full-blown laughter straight from her belly, loud enough to echo from the stands and reverberate a few times. All in all, she would have called it a tie.

And his opponent is...!
John!
Keep in mind, if either of you want to withdraw, we can reroll, et cetera.
Also, just to keep things rolling smoothly, having some witty banter within the battle is fine, but keep in mind this is meant to be nothing more than a brawl, not a mini-plot. Have an intro post with an opening comment, like they do in most fighting games, and get straight into the battle.

"Aaaaaaand a one, two, three, four..." John continued to count as he stretched out his thigh muscles. "Fourteen... fifteen. Very good then! Let's get this on the way. Seems like everybody's itching to get this over with so might as well make it quick."
John summoned his War Hammer into hand and stretched his back as well waiting for his opponent to be cordial enough to start.
"Now, there are some precautions for this fight. Don't be a p***k about it, k? K good..."
