It seemed Arlo should have taken his own advice. He rushed in on Edward, trying to produce a close range fight, but somehow ended up with Edward's blade deep in his side. Edward himself wasn't even sure how it happened. Regardless, Edward seemed to finally have an advantage, with the young man bleeding out, before a strong hand wrapped around his throat. He coughed against it as Arlo again took the time to lecture him. The air suddenly grew cold as ice began to form over the ground. It flowed to him as well, seeming to move to encase his feet. Edward realized the gravity of what was happening. He would only have seconds before the ice would have him stuck and begin making a sculpture out of him. Still, he couldn't help but smile a bit. "And you are a pompous fool." One hand reached out to grab his blade, trying to yank it out of him, as the other hand tossed down the kunai between them, close to both of them. Arlo would find it difficult to get away, but Edward would take quite a bit of the force as well, enough to hopefully dislodge him stop the ice from advancing on him. The moment he threw them down, he formed the seal with one hand. The moment he did the explosives went off. Edward would lightly go flying out of Arlo's grip as the explosions would shatter and melt the ice directly around him, enough to keep it from freezing him over, for now. It came at a price. The already damaged material of his clothes was torn in several places, and burn were visible on the exposed skin. Hopefully, he managed to retrieve his blade, as he tried to get up, disoriented, injured, but still alive.
Arlo watched as the kid threw his kunai at the ground, and not even a second later, the thing went off! A large cloud of dust was whipped up from the blast, and suddenly the sword that had been stuck in his side was suddenly ripped away, causing a major amount of pain to be shot through his body, and shocking every nerve ending. The blood sprayed out a little bit, and began to freeze. The ice from the Frozen hell would continue to freeze everything.
Arlo was knocked into the air, and then fell onto his back, skidding a fair ways away. He left a trail of blood on the ice, and finally came to a stop. He laid there for a couple minutes, breathing heavily. His Beserker was laying a little ways away. He slowly got up, grabbed on the Beserker, and glared at Edward. Now was the time for getting serious. This time, he waited for Edward to attack first. But he's had to quickly think of something before he bled out. There was burns over his legs, from where the blast had come from, and there was cuts on his arms from the ice.
"Calling your opponent a fool is one of the most foolish thing anyone could do. Remember that, Fruit Tart." Arlo said with a small frown.

Edward managed to get to his feet, shaking his head as he tried to right himself. His body ached from the wounds over it, and his clothes had been torn, metal weapons were scattered around the battle field. The ice was again advancing, moving along the ground towards him and over the walls of the stadium. Edward saw no choice now. He had to reveal and use his technique. He had limited stamina compared to his opponent, even if they were wounded, so he would have to act on it. But it was the only way to keep the ice from reaching him. He quickly grabbed all the ninja weapons remaining in his bag and and dropped them around his feet, leaving the string and explosives still inside. Hopefully these would be enough. They and all the others along the field. Edward called out to Arlo as he formed a hand seal. "The name isn't Fruit Tart, fool. It's Edward, Edward Chitan. It's a name I am going to make sure you remember." He began releasing his chakra, and a wave of it flowed out from him, enveloping all the metal it could that was on the field. "Metal Style: Liquid Seperation." The metal objects all on the ground would begin to lose their form, and turn into a liquid. They didn't melt, as melting was an effect of temperature. They just changed their natural state. Even the senbon in Arlo's arm would begin to liquify if the chakra would hit them. He shifted the seal for a moment, directing his chakra through the metal, before picking up his sword. A layer of liquid metal would flow under his feet, and carefully raise him into the air, above the ice just before it could reach him again. The liquid metal elsewhere would flow along the ice, seemingly unhindered by the cold. "I'll show you I'm a force to be reckoned with." Liquid metal forms rose up around him, before flying at Arlo in many thin streams, rapidly picking up speed. The tips of these streams behaved like spears, intent to skewer the young man. There was still a significant amount of metal left on the ground. It was not enough to form a lake or pond. However, there was enough that he had plenty to attack and defend pretty well. More metal would rise up then, forming bullets of the liquid. These would fly towards Arlo in curving paths, intent to envelope him if the streams didn't skewer him.

Arlo was getting bored and more than a little annoyed with this match. Not only was this child, Fruit Tart, being bothersome to him, but he was also getting tired of playing with the child as well. Whatever, he would just have to take it upon himself to smash this kid into the ground.
But what caught his attention first was the feeling of something oozing out of his arm, and down it. As the male looked down towards the area infected by this odd feeling, he saw the senbon needles that was in his arm suddenly melted into what looks like... silver liquid? It confused Arlo greatly, but then everything metal began to melt. It was odd indeed.
Much to Arlo's confusion, he's never seen Fruit Tart's jutsu, and maybe now he was finally showing Arlo what he was up against? As Arlo watched him, he noticed Fruit Tart throw an attack at him. On reflex, Arlo jumped back to avoid the first set of skewers, but failed to fully dodge the second set. Instead, the curved path skewers came at him, and sliced his left shoulder open, spraying his blood onto the ground.
With a grunt, Arlo clutched onto his shoulder, and growled moments later. No more messing around. The Ankoku rushed towards the Fruit Tart, and brought his Beserker up into the air, and then swung it towards Edward's feet at a 30 degree angle. From this angle, the force of the Beserker would shatter the rock and ground, causing a shower of stone, rock and dirt to fly in that general direct.
Now was the time go get serious.

Edward, seeing the boy advance, acted quickly. The Liquid metal supporting him in the air pulled back, getting him out of the initial swing. A barrage of rocks advanced on him, as he raised his arms and the sword along his upper body protectively. At the same time, a barrage of liquid metal bullets flew back at Arlo, some clashing with the rocks. He gasped in pain as the rocks that got through left bruises all over his form, and a particularly sharp rock cut deep into his left arm, blood visibly flowing from the wound. It wasn't lethal, but he would need to get medical attention soon after the battle. His arm lowered slowly, almost hanging limply. After the frontal barrage of bullets on Arlo, some of the liquid metal behind the glitchy boy, would rise up, forming liquid metal spears. These fired at his back and legs, moving to end it there.
