Welcome to Gaia! ::

Wolf looked up at the dragon "Aw, dude, you didn't use enough power....nifty Devil Sorcery use though" he said. The dragon made a throaty noise and looked down at Wolf with a puzzled expression, having no idea what was going on itself. Wolf soon had to return to his concentration as Bushimarus attack came for him though. Straining his mind over the massive dragon, he managed to convince it to move one of it's wings infront of Wolf. The elder dragon managed to absorb the attack without much worry, but the force of it was too much for Wolfs summoning and control powers and afterwards the dragon vanished in a huge puff of smoke. Wolf dropped down to his hands a knees, panting for breath. Controlling the dragon had been harder then he had thought, and as a result, the power it had put fourth to aid him had been less then he had expected. "Dragons...are too damn...proud..." he said to himself between breaths.

Wolf looked around at the change of scenery while still recovering from his previous exertion. As Bushimaru completed his technique, Wolf had managed to almost fully recover from his exhaustion, though didn't show it, remaining on his hands and knees. As soon as he saw Bushimaru appear next to him he raised up slightly into the position for his Kemono Yakushin "Good..." He simply answered Bushimarus previous statement. He used his dash technique to suddenly boost forward at bushimaru from point blank rage, swinging his arms back as he pushed off, clenching his fists and bringing them forward with all the strength of his current form in a double sonic punch "Wolf Cannon Impact!! he declared as the sonic booms and shock waves rumbled around the huge cavern. His dash caused him to avoid Bushimarus X slash, but since he had to get in close, he received a nasty gash to his chest from Bushimarus sword defense, but was willing to take this punishment in exchange for delivering his powerful cannon impact attack. The thicker air inside Bushimarus technique would actually make the sonic waves from Wolfs attack more effective then before.

Wolf was still in the same stance after finishing his attack, his 2 fists still outstretched, blood dripped to the ground from the wounds in his upper body, but amazingly as he raised his head a bit he was smiling "Well.....didn't see that one coming I must admit, still, a double punch at that velocity should have done it's damage, even If the shockwaves didn't get ya, though this is a bit of a tricky situation...." He said as the winds started to cut at him "But saying I've lost? That doesn't sit to well...." He pressed his hands to the ground, creating a summoning circle encompassing the inside of the dome "Summoning:...Great Krakan! Raaaaah!" He shouted through the agony of Bushimarus wind assault. From the summoning circle, a burst of water erupted, followed by the emergence of a titanically huge sea monster, seeming to be somewhat like an octopus, but at least 10 times as hideous, The monster however, was bigger then Bushimarus dome was, and as it emerged it pushed against the side of the dome harder and harder as more of it's body was summoned. it was Wolfs hope that the huge mass of the sea monster would be able to apply enough pressure to burst out of Bushimarus dome, or at least make some sort of opening. Until then he placed his arms in front of him defensively as he endured the cutting winds as best he could.

He didn't need to worry about applying any sort of control this time though as the summoning did all the work for him. The poor Kraken was so squished up it was in no possition to attack either of the 2 fighters.

The Kraken vanishes in another large puff of smoke as it's purpose was realized. Wolf barely had time to recover before Bushimaru came at him again. Wolf managed to step back a bit, reducing the damage of Bushimarus slash, but was still left with a large gash across his body to go with the 2 other wounds he had received earlier.

Wolf skidded back, but amazingly remained standing, even though the ground infront of him was slowly being peppered with spots of blood. He raised his head to stare at Bushimaru, and perhaps even more strangely, broke into another wide smile "Heh....that all you got? I could....keep takin' those.....all day" Wolf taunted, though it was clear by the heavy breathing inbetween his speech that the wounds were taking a toll "Whats with all that anger all of a sudden?...Arn't we...havin' fun here?" he added.

He then went back to looking more serious. He crouched slightly, placing a hand on one of his knees and leaving the other dangling down infront of him. "I really hate it when I underestimate people, but it looks like your even stronger then I had hoped.....I think I can safely use that on you....yeah" Wolf said, then smiled once more, looking Bushimaru dead in the eyes. "So Bushi-kun......do you think you'll be able to last 2 minutes, when I'm at full power?" he calmly asked. This time he didn't use his little pet name for Bushimaru, showing he was more serious.

The wind starts to pick up in a circle round Wolf in a ring of dust and small pebbles and rocks, still stood in the same pose, but his head lowered so his spiky fridge hid his eyes "You seem very read up on your Devil Sorcerys Bushi-kun, but this one, I'm prepared to bet you haven't seen this one....The risks involved caused those who did know it to cast it aside as a liability....but I find I can make pretty good use of it..." wolf said.



Cryoses eyebrows raised a little in mild surprise, it seemed he had an idea what was about to happen "...So he's going to go that far?...." he murmured to himself

5 glowing red symbols seemed to burn themselves into the ground in a circle around Wolf, his devil tail, usually hidden, grew out and waved around behind him as his coat started to flap around in the gathering force surrounding him "Devil Sorcery:...#150..." he began. The red symbols started streaming out crimson energy as a similar red circle formed around them, more red energy forming into lines between them to form a pentagram shape with one of the symbols near each point "...Devil Gear!" He finished as evil looking black energy burst from the ring to join in swirling around Wolf, or rather, seeming to swirl into him. His goggles and coat flapped around wildly and amongst the chaos of the storm of energy Wolfs eyes visibly flashed red.

Suddenly, the dust and energy blasted outwards sending shockwaves rippling across the sandy ground. Wolf straightened up from his stance, dark energy crackled and sparked randomly around his body, his slit pupils were now glowing an eerie red, though the most noticeable change was that the tattoo on his chest had vanished, and been replaced with one depicting a simple rendition of a black skull with a large black X behind it, like some sort of execution mark

Wolf turned his head, following Bushimaru with his eyes as he rushed around "You know what it is? good, that saves time...". No sooner was his sentence finished then he had vanished, a large blast tearing up the ground where he was just from the force of him pushing off it. Wolf appeared right infront of Bushimaru, the ground behind him over which he had traveled suddenly breaking apart in a hail of dust and stone. He had moved so fast and aggrssivly that he had only taken a few scratches from Bushimarus Petal Funeral/Kamaitachi combo. He delivered a speeding knee strike to Bushimarus stomach knocking him into the air slightly with a blast of air from the impact zone. He quickly crouched then shot himself upwards "Wolf Hyper Shot!!" He shouted, a deafening bang echoing through the red scenery as he hit Bushimaru square in the face with his powered up wolf shot, sending him spinning into the air, the massive amount of sonic waves sent out would screw wish Bushimarus vision at the least, or even make him lose consciousness if he was unlucky. Wolf dropped back to the ground and pressed a hand to it "Summoning: Elder Red!" he shouted, a huge red dragon tail crashing through the landscape and catching Bushimaru square on in mid air and sending him speeding through the air, this time the full power of the dragon being harnessed by Wolf. The dragon vanished right after the tail swipe though. Wolf, bought his foot down hard, causing a chunk of the rock under him to break away and get forced up behind him. Wolf flipped onto the protruding rock, using it to boost off, and in the process, shattering it in his wake as he sped through the air after Bushimaru. "Summoning: Nero Wall!" he called, useing extra energy to perform a summoning without the use of a circle. In the near distance a large sturdy looking stone wall rose out of the sand, Bushimaru colliding with it at it's base and was then smashed full on by the following Wolf as he drove both his fists into him, the impact shock cracking the wall behind Bushimaru "Wolf Hyper Cannon Impact!!". Wolf was going so fast, the sonic boom came later, and Bushimaru was suddenly blasted by the waves, breaking apart the wall. Wolf had already boosted up into the air though, twisting to land on the cavern roof, leaving a small crater, which turned into a larger one quickly as he boosted himself off it back down towards Bushimaru, somersaulting over and over at great speed while descending and coming down on Bushimaru with a massively wound up overhead heel kick towards Bushimarus midsection "Wolf Hyper Jackhammer!!!" he yelled as the ground around Bushimaru was smashed apart by the impact, and even more so when the sonic wave hit.

Wolf jumped back, starting another summoning. He was taking no chances with a timer now set. "Summoning: Grand Golem!" he exclaimed as rocks burst from the sand to form a gargantuan stone golem behind Wolf, raising it's giant hands and looking ready to deliver a hammer blow to Bushimaru should he still be moving. Wolf took the chance to catch his breath after the combo.

Wolf relaxes somewhat, scratching his head "Wow, now I look at it, I may have overdone that a bit" he said with a nervous laugh, starting to feel a little guilty. Cryos appeared next to the scene, mic at the ready. It appeared during their fight, they had traveled fairly far from the main stands of the arena.



"If ownage was a flavor, then it would be called Wolf, looks like we have our wi-......eh?" Cryos was interrupted as he noticed a large chunk of Golem falling towards him "If running like hell was a flavor it would be called Cryos!" he shouted quickly, exiting in a swirl of cold mist just before the rock smashed into the ground, bursting into smoke along with the rest of the Golem.

Wolf turned around, trying to look through the smoke, a look of great surprise on his face. "Is Bushi-kun still goin'? After all that?..." he said to himself.

Wolf stuck a hand in his coats pocket and rubbed the side of his head with his other hand as he listened to Bushimarus words and closed his eyes. "I see...." he opened them again and grinned at Bushimaru "Shoulda known you would be trying some sort of complicated stuff" His grin suddenly faded and he became serious "But y'know....you shouldn't go in thinking 'I'll see how far I can get' or 'I'll try my best', All thinking that creates is excuses if you fail.....you should always try to win, to aim for your goals, not just to see how far you can get to them, cos at the end of the day, almost achieving your dreams, ain't quite there"

Wolf sighed, then brightened up "But thats just in my view I guess. I'm not here to try and convince you of anything dude.....I must say though, your fortitude is pretty darn impressive, I honestly didn't expect you to be up right now at all.....so.....are you going to continue? Or step down?" he asked, tensing up slightly once more.
