The first event takes place in a common Colosseum style arena, with the Tribunal looking down on the fight. This Tribunal will decide if Raphael's might was enough. Several thousand people have come around to see this match up.
In this first event, the category being tested is the class. Let it be known that Raphael's class is 'Berzerker'. In order to test his skill and mastery, he will fight the best Berzerker known, alive or dead. His opponent will be Fenrir Graveheart, puppeted by Marishka Valentine. Powers of seduction are negated in this Colosseum, though bloodline techniques can still be used.
Personality: Marishka is a cold and proud vampire who has released herself from the chains of emotions. She's not one to speak very much, and simply wishes to become stronger in the dark arts.

╫Background Information╫
When Marishka was a young girl, she fell in love with a strong and powerful noble. The two of them loved each other dearly and were to be wed. Unfortunately, war broke out and that noble was sent out to lead the troops into battle. She promised she would wait for him...so she did. She waited for him for an entire year, hearing no word from him. Meanwhile, she continued performing her day to day tasks, being a count's daughter a countess, she kept herself fairly busy.
One day, a courier knocked on her door with a letter. Thinking that the letter was from him, Marishka tore through the envelope only to end up in tears. Her lover had died 3 months ago and they had finally found his body. They brought it back to give him a proper and honorable burial. For the next several months, Marishka locked herself in her room, completely devastated, her mind shattered from the sheer shock of his death. It was at this time where Marishka decided that she couldn't bear living without him anymore. Deciding to bring him back to life, she began studying in the art of Necromancy.
As she became more and more profficient in the dark arts, she had run into a vampire that was visiting their city under the sea. This very same vampire was the one that turned Marishka into a creature of the night...the reason...because the vampire thought that Marishka could benefit from his dark gift. The vampire had fallen in love with Marishka, and the vampire, fearing that Marishka would grow old and decrepit, snuck into her room. The vampire forcefully stole Marishka's virginity and bit her, turning her into a creature of the night. Once the vampirisim took full effect, Marishka grew stronger and stronger. She became so strong, that she dealt a painful death to her assailant, making sure he paid for what he did.
After killing that vampire, she continued studying frivously until one day, she was able to bring back the young noble that had died during battle. When he saw what had become of Marishka, and the lengths in which she had gone, her lover was horrified. What was dead should stay dead, this is what her lover had told her. He was sickened at how far Marishka had fallen, her purity and beauty was stripped away and replaced by darkness and cold. Leaving Marishka, she became alone and heartbroken. Becoming a daughter of the night, Marishka decided to free herself from the bounds of emotions and love. She decided to become worthy of the Dark Curse bestowed upon her. She has now become a proud and cold individual who hardly says much.
To test her loyalty, Marishka was pitted against a fellow Vampire Novice, Alistair Maric. Unlike her, he was a loud and obnoxious vampire who was too proud for his own good...he was for lack of better words an a*****e. The two fought each other in a death match, with Marishka coming out on top. Delivering the final blow, Marishka killed Alistair, and in turn Fenrir rewarded her with the rank of Expert. She was also declared as Captain of Nocturne. With her new rank and position, Marishka headed off and ressurected Alistair, but under her full control. Now, becoming a powerful necromancer, Marishka begins her new role as Captain.

Summoning:
Bellona Rank: S
Bellona is considered as an elite demon. Well she is actually an angel fallen from grace. She can control the Angelo Caduto to attack or stop or just about anything.
She is capable of preforming all paladin skills as well as all lance based skills, not the swordmaster lance skills only the universal ones. Just like the Angelo Caduto she has a large wing that acts like a shield but hers is only just large enough to cover her but it is tough enough to block anything weaker than an S rank and it would take at least four S rank attacks to break that wing. She is capable of flight but what may be the most difficult thing if you choose to fight her is the fact she can pass through stationary objects in the room. One other ability of Bellona is that she would summon feathers around her, each one the size of a sword. These feathers are just as sharp as a sword and not only will she send them flying at you but the would also move in to protect her.
Her energy is as much as a Sage.
Her lance is called the Luminite, ordinary where she came from but in the normal world it has a light white aura around it. Luminite has a cross on one end and on the other a spear tip. Strangely her lance will cut you but will not draw blood thus you cannot die from bleeding if the wounds she inflicts came from the lance.
Unique abilities
Raven Rank: E Out of combat Bellona will often take the form of a raven that can fly to any destination. It is this ability to be able to fly to anywhere, no matter where the place is, that makes Bellona's raven form so special.
Feather Strikes Rank: D A feather will dislodge from her wings and then fly at the target with speed. She cannot make them turn 180 degrees but she can make them spin or turn and follow the target. If Feathery discipline is preformed before Feather Strikes all 20 of the feathers will race out to stab the target.
Feathery Discipline Rank: B Bellona will swing her hand around her and 20 feathers will appear. This provides as a B rank defense, it will cause the sharp feathers to spin around Bellona quickly, this will deflect attacks up to B rank even elemental attacks. Attacking from directly bellow is still not possible as these feathers will just move in and block it the only way to get through is ti hit it with an A rank attack which will make all of the feathers try to block it but they will break or 21 attacks, strangely each feather can only take one hit no matter how powerful the blow was. It will take 2 more posts after the feathers break or have been used before Bellona is allowed to use this skill again.
Call of Angels Rank: S If inside The Tower or Nocturne, Bellona can summon an Angelo Cudato to her side. She cannot attack during the post she uses this skill, and no more than 3 Angelo Cudatos can be present on the battlefield at a time.

Today. Today was a big freaking day. It was that time of his life where he'd finally get to test his mettle. It just so happened to be that he'd get to use his powers against those who victimized him, tortured him, even murdered him once before. Yes. These two who stood before him were his greatest enemies of all time, and they would pay again even in the afterlife for their sins. "It appears that we're destined to meet again, you two --" the Incubi grinned, "And it isn't your game anymore." He stepped into the proper stance, staring down the enemies. Marishka was slow and weak. Vulnerable. Fenrir was the real issue here. He contemplated calling upon Isis to distract that horny b*****d Sage, but that'd be premature. He'd see if they were at their full strength. Hopefully not, since frankly, their full strength was way more than he could handle.

It was easy for Marishka to recall this boy, he was all over Lust's mind, along with another. She had seen Cherry's memories through Lust. This boy was much weaker at the time, though now noticeably stronger... and less clothed. It would be his death she would seek. To add him to her collection. He would only adorn Fenrir even more. But it was silly of her to waste time, especially when she had jumped at the opportunity to be involved in this test. If he failed, Raphael would be hers. "I'm sorry you had to face us, I do not enjoy killing fellow creatures of the night. But you won't be dead for long, I promise you that." She paused for a bit as she looked down at the ground. Suddenly, her head snapped up, "Go, Fenrir!" The grim faced suddenly growled at the command. Even though he could think, his body was under Marishka's complete control. As his body charged with lightning, it only took a fraction of a second before a bolt of lightning assembled at his feet. He suddenly shot forward at Raphael at incredible speeds, attempting to slam into the boy without warning. The impact in itself would be as strong as if he had used the Lightning Fist, though his only goal was closing the distance between the two of them.

Lightning Rider Rank: C Description: User creates a lightning bolt under their feet to fly around at an extremely fast rate. Because it is created from the user it is not as fast as a real lightning bolt, but is still fast enough to easily dodge around just about any single long ranged attack or projectile. The user can also slam into their opponent with this bolt, which will have the same effect as being hit with a Thunder Fist.
Energy Surge Rank: C Description: User courses their electric energy through their muscles while standing still for one full post, loosening and strengthening them at the same time. This will increase their strength and speed ratings by 1 for five posts, and has a five post cooldown after those posts are over.

Speed . . . ? If he wanted to beat Raphael, he'd have to do a little better than that. The fight immediately seemed to go full aggression, but that was alright. He didn't enjoy wasting time. A wall of flame rose before him, preventing Fenrir from colliding with him. If, in fact, he wasn't able to stop himself from moving in, he'd quickly burn to death. From behind the wall, Raphael crafted a brilliant holy sword to combat these evils with. It radiated light, and was specifically targeting the weakness of their blood. When he recognized (before the wall) that Fenrir was charging electricity, he was tempted to cleanse it, but decided he'd save that power for more dire times. Instead, simply as a test, or to force him into action, he created holy chains in the ground around Fenrir, attempting to wrap around him and restrict his movements. Marishka could probably break them, but she wasn't quite quick enough to save Fenrir's brains if it came down to it.

Fenrir wasn't stupid. Charging straight into battle without a plan was stupid, good thing he had a plan the second he sniffed the Incubus. No, as soon as he tried to erect the barrier against the Lightning Rider's, Fenrir clenched his fist and extended his fist forward, charged with lightning. The Lightning Rider only provided him with more momentum. As soon as his fist touched the wall of flames, it completely destroyed the energy based defense, shooting the flames right back at the unexpected Raphael. Since the boy's energy was needed to erect the wall of Fire, Fenrir's own energy was able to enter the boy's body in a way that even Fenrir didn't understand. It would cut him off from using any of his elemental skills for at least a while, limiting the boy to his bloodline and class skills and any style the boy had to combat Fenrir. It had even prevented him from attempting his other two attacks. The force of the punch destroying the barrier should push Raphael several feet back, giving the boy distance from Fenrir, but his job was done. Now it was Marishka's turn.
Through out the time that Fenrir and Raphael fought, Marishka kept herself busy. She took out the bone of a fearsome creature. After mutterring the incantation, Marishka tossed the bone into the air and as soon as it touched the soft Colosseum ground, bones began to grow from that single bone into a large structure. Flesh quickly enveloped the skeleton, fur following behind it. After just a few seconds, a fully grown Three Headed Dog, or the Cerberus, now stood in the arena. With a loud roar, each of the three heads found their target: The Incubus. "Run, Raphael. It's all a Incubus is good for. Live your life as a Master, or die here. You will not leave this place alive."

Thunder Break Rank: C Description: A technique that looks just like the Lightning Fist, but isn't. This is a trap used against opponents who try to block the Lightning Fist or Lightning Rider using their energy. However, the Thunder Break draws its power using the opponent's energy instead, turning their defense against them while bypassing it at the same time. For this reason the Thunder Break can get through all energy-related defenses and deal direct damage to their opponent equal in rank to the energy being used against them. Furthermore, unlike the Lightning Fist this technique does not stun or slow down the opponent when hit. However, by offensively sending the opponent's energy back through their body their ki channels become blocked, disabling them from using any skills for 3 posts. If this attack is used against somebody who doesn't use an energy defense against it, then this skill does nothing and becomes just a normal punch. Cannot be done with the feet.
Skeletal Summoning Rank: A Limits: Must be necromancer. Must have a piece of the bone of the wanted summon. Must be able to speak. Description: With the bone of some species, even a species that is extinct (ex: dinosaurs), the necromancer is able to summon a skeletal version of the average specimen of said species after muttering an incantaion. This skill cannot be used to summon specific people and each bone set can only be used once (ex: you cannot use the bones of a single hydra to summon ten other hydras no matter how many bones a hydra has; you can only summon one hydra from one set of hydra bones). Skeletal versions cannot use the non-physical skills (ex: breathing fire) of their living versions. The summon is completely obedient to the Necromancer but can be stopped with Taming Tune.

He was startled by the power of Fenrir's lightning. He had seen it before -- seen it in action. But he didn't think it was so blunt and ruthless. His idea to out-defend him and counter his fists seemed pointless, because his fists were extended in range and power by this goddamn lightning. And the lightning couldn't be stopped. Not halted. Nothing. He could feel that his ability to use Fire had been lost on him, but that was okay. Obviously, fire was pointless against this man, anyway. He rose up from the ground, and responded to Marishka's taunting with a laugh. "Running isn't the only thing we're good for. Haven't you ever considered how it'd feel to lodge an Incubus deep inside of you?" He patted off his chest, some of the ash smeared all over it. "Well, you won't find out. Frankly I've never been attracted to you goth little bitches. Bitches in particular. Don't you know what they say about you?" He was very careful to not arouse the idea that he was buying time. He had begun, earlier, to channel the energy necessary for the summon. "You're all lost, jealous little people. Lower than the s**t I clean off my d**k on a bad day. Someone like you just doesn't have what it takes to be a Sage. No, that power is reserved for me. Only. Me." By the time he was done talking, the ritual was over. Isis... was here. "Master," she whispered, her claymore shining through the darkness. "I give you clearance to take off their heads." At that moment, she shifted into a hideous and deadly form. Two long blades took the places of her arms, her back sprouting wings and her whole body coated in something like armor. She locked on to the skeletal creature; she'd take him down first.
Raphael was content with being a distraction while Isis ravaged the backline. Marishka wouldn't be able to handle her for long. All he needed to do was survive against Fenrir; against insurmountable odds. First, however, they did quite the opposite. Isis leaped in front of Fenrir, quickly clouding his vision with her large frame. She held her two blade-arms in front of her, protecting her with an "X" like defense. From behind her, Raphael began to activate an array of abilities to keep him protected. First of all, Steel Form, letting his body coat itself in a rich defense. He quickly closed the gap behind Fenrir, using his wings to increase his speed by slightly hovering over the ground. Using Isis as a distraction, he used the Phantom Step ability of Jujitsu, to the point where Fenrir would barely ever be able to see him, as he'd continue to ghost through his blind spot. However, Fenrir was aware of Jujitsu, so this farce wouldn't last long. He had to strike, and quickly. Wary of directly attacking the lightning-using beast, his nails sprouted into very long claws. He kept his tail ready near his arm, so that he could defend from any surprise attacks. Of course, in this position, Isis was still capable of seeing what was behind Raphael, so she could warn him of incoming attacks.
Raphael quickly swiped at Fenrir with his claws, although Isis remained in her defensive X.
(Summoning: Isis (S), Claws (C), nevermind steel form isn't viable here
Phantom Step Rank: C Description: An ancient jujistu technique that tricks the opponent into thinking the user disappears by having the user stay in the opponents blind spot. The user wears long pants to hide his knee movement and make an illusion of his center of gravity, when an opponent strikes they will be just a few inches off. He then enters the opponent's blind angles and makes use of the opponent's slightest movement to throw him. While the opponent thinks the user is gone and tries to retreat the user can surprise the opponent with a surprise attack. Lasts 2 posts, and has a 3 post cooldown.

Once she saw Raphael complete a small ritual, Marishka was on the defense. But all that came out was a summon, even if it looked a little strong. Just a summon. Though as soon as the summon charged Fenrir, leaving Marishka to just sit idly, she smirked. The summon was nothing compared to Fenrir. But even when it approached him, it didn't attack. It only defended. What was the Incubus up to? It was then she saw him move. Raphael may have moved into the blind spot of Fenrir, but it was Marishka who controlled Fenrir. As soon as Raphael was in range, Fenrir fired off several bolts of lightning, purposefully missing Isis. The lightning bolts suddenly came to a halt, and began to spread, forming a circular prison of a sorts, even sealing off the top. Now the two of them were locked in here with Fenrir. Oh, and Bellona. Once Raphael tried to swipe at Fenrir, his nails were halted by a large black wing. Bellona had made her entrance, protecting her master. Bellona quickly deflected Raph's attack, pulling back her wing, forcing his hand back. She swiped her hand and several of her feathers dislodged itself, attempting to impale the boy. The distance between them was so small that it was almost impossible for him to dodge the homing feathers. Meanwhile, Fenrir, using this chance where Raphael was busy to grab a hold of Isis's bladed hands, sending thousands of volts of electricity through her body. The electricity had a purpose, though. It served to bind Isis with a near Skin tight binding. Her arms would be bound and her body would be paralyzed. The use of a violent A Rank attack would bypass her natural steel form, if he managed to grab a hold of her, which was highly likely due to his speed advantage over her.

Lightning Cage Rank: B Description: The user unleashes the Electro Barrage, and similar to the Hellzone-collision technique, misses on purpose. Instead though, the balls of lightning become a circular cage around the target, limiting their movement greatly. At A-S rank, the cage also extends into the air above the target, becoming a dome entrapment. This technique is used to limit a target’s movements so that subsequent attacks are more likely to strike.
Bellona Rank: S
Charged Bindings Rank: A Description: User grabs their opponents’ hands and forces them together as they apply the equivalent of skin-tight handcuffs to tie them together, made entirely out of a constantly flowing solid current of electricity. These cuffs constantly jolt the victim’s body, and though it of a very small voltage it applies the same effect to the victim’s body as both the Lightning Fist and the Thunder Break, paralyzing their body while scattering their Ki at the same time to prevent them from using any skills. This skill is usually performed on opponents that’ve already been beaten, where user wants to capture or take them alive for possible interrogation rather than kill them.

Ugh, apparently he didn't even get to equal their numbers. Suddenly, some black-winged hooker was jumping at his face and protecting her "masturd". Even more suddenly, she was trying to impale him. Dodging wasn't in the question, so blocking was most viable. He could do that. Maybe. Well, he actually didn't need to, if what Isis was about to do went off well enough. Fenrir did the wrong thing by coming at her with his spell. She had already prepared her strike, and so she could let it off at any time. And she did. Two extremely fast, almost impossibly sharp slashes ran through the air. They were barely even visible, but looked like a fading energy. Since Fenrir was coming at her so quickly, and because the own bright lightning energy along with the light from the cage would blind him to these subtle differences, he probably wouldn't even notice the length of the blade (which was essentially almost impossible to block/dodge at this point) was just about to cleave through him. If it hit, his arms and legs would be swiped clean off due to the X shape of the blade, which would separate all of his limbs. It'd be paramount to cutting off his head. Furthermore, the slash would continue to go on even after cleaving through him. Since Bellona's wing and vision was directed towards Raphael, she'd have no possible defense and would therefore hopefully be cleaved apart as well.
If not, then she'd instead quickly switch to human form, which would get her out of the way of his quick grab. She'd lock onto his neck, and then Zenithblade directly at the side of his body not left protected by his surging arm, hopefully stabbing deep into his neck. Her shield remained ready to defend, the structure noticeably growing, and very quickly.
Raphael, in case he couldn't be bailed out by Isis, used a very simple and very powerful move to easily trump her. He used the Unstoppable Push, an energy barrier surging over his body to deflect the feathers. They completely brushed aside. He jumped high into the air, and slammed his kneecap against Bellona's wing. The energy of the Unstoppable Push specifically targeted defenses such as that, and so would completely break through Bellona's wing if it hit. If the push continued, she'd be met with a massively damaging blow to her head, possibly turning her braindead. The Unstoppable Push persisted for an instant longer, but wouldn't last longer than the impact with her wing and face.
(Zenithblade (A Rank): The sword can become extremely difficult for the enemy to focus on, or even see. In fact, it becomes so blurry that you can barely tell where it is or where it's slashing at. This only lasts for one post, where at the end of the post a golden sun-colored extension of energy emerges from the tip and pierces through almost any weapon.
Cross-Slash (B Rank): When a physical or magic attack is about to strike, she'll hold her (very sturdy) blade-arms in front of her body, which harden up before the moment of impact. Once impact has been made, they very rapidly slash outwards. The slash is increased in power and range (via magic), and is capable of cutting through flesh like butter. This can also be done without countering, but the point usually to slash during the moment of recoil, almost assuring their demise.
Unstoppable Push Rank: A Requires: Hanuman Visits Lanka Description: An advanced ser blasts off their feet with extreme speed and unleashes a barrier of energy to push with the user as they use the Hanuman visits Lanka strike. It only lasts a second but it can push the user over a long distance due to its pure speed. Only an attack of at least B-rank can break through the energy barrier surrounding the user during the strike, and the strike can break through S-rank barriers and greatly damage SS-rank barriers. )

It was great timing, Fenrir had actually thought he was going to be bested. But no, he wasn't. The attack the summon attempted to pull off was only stopped because of Fenrir's time placed use of the Catch Blade skill. Her bladed hands made things easy for him. As soon as he caught her hands, a violent shock would surge through her body, instantly paralyzing her and removing her from combat. Her bladed hands would no longer be movable, as they were bound by near skin tight electro-hand cuffs. Seeing Bellona in trouble, Fenrir quickly released the incapacitated Isis and clenched his fist. By controlling the iron in Raphael's body, Fenrir managed to jerk his knee to the left, causing him to miss completely, also revealing his backside to Bellona. It was a grave mistake. In a swift movement, Belona grabbed her lance and charged Holy Light around the large weapon and aimed to skewer the vulnerable Incubus. Oddly enough, Bellona screamed one word and one word only. "Judgement!"

Lightning Cage (Still In Effect) Rank: B Description: The user unleashes the Electro Barrage, and similar to the Hellzone-collision technique, misses on purpose. Instead though, the balls of lightning become a circular cage around the target, limiting their movement greatly. At A-S rank, the cage also extends into the air above the target, becoming a dome entrapment. This technique is used to limit a target’s movements so that subsequent attacks are more likely to strike.
Catch Blade Rank: C Requires: Activated Iron form Description: This skill takes quite a bit of skill to pull off. You wait for someone who uses a sword or some sort of bladed weapon to attack and with the proper timing you catch it with one hand unharmed. This only works if the attack is not a C ranked attack. Masters can catch without the iron form and remain unharmed.
Charged Bindings Rank: A Description: User grabs their opponents’ hands and forces them together as they apply the equivalent of skin-tight handcuffs to tie them together, made entirely out of a constantly flowing solid current of electricity. These cuffs constantly jolt the victim’s body, and though it of a very small voltage it applies the same effect to the victim’s body as both the Lightning Fist and the Thunder Break, paralyzing their body while scattering their Ki at the same time to prevent them from using any skills. This skill is usually performed on opponents that’ve already been beaten, where user wants to capture or take them alive for possible interrogation rather than kill them.
Iron Blood Rank: A Description: User stands still and points an open hand at their target in which they focus on magnetizing the natural iron in their blood. Then the user forms a fist with their hand to manipulate the iron to manipulate the opponents body in a way of their choosing. Only lasts for a single post, and has a cooldown of 3 posts. Though you can make them injure themselves, you cannot make your opponent kill themselves (sorry).
Bellona Used: Judgment Rank: B Requires: Novice Rank, holy light You form the holy light around your weapon with so much power it would destroy unholy beings quickly. A wound done by this attack will not heal may you be human or unholy, how ever healing will start once the battle is over. This move also allows the paladin to cut through steel but sadly it causes their arms to bleed repeated use is not recommended as shown by Sir Teredan when he ripped his muscles after the 10th use.

Isis' arms quickly retracted to her sides, as she had entered her humanoid form nigh-instantaneously when she recognized that he'd close the distance faster than she could strike. Her shield expanded very quickly, becoming a very large wall in front of her. Fenrir would've made impact with the towering shield rather than here, and she let go of the shield before the impact was made. Since the shield was now very heavy, she hoped it would topple over him, but he was quite quick so she didn't expect it. Rather, she performed a very peculiar ability, at least to everyone else. Almost impossible to see, a sword surrounded by feet of blurry vision struck through the center of the shield and attempted to lodge into the enemy's chest. If this didn't work, then she'd simply have to enter her other form again.
Meanwhile, Raphael's knee had (hopefully) managed to connect with Bellona's skull. The force was enough to blast her brains against the walls of her head, and to assure her death, he pulled her neck to the floor beneath his foot and smashed it hard against the ground, cracking it apart. Finally, Raphael decided it was time to Awaken. He channeled energy throughout his body, a red glow surrounding his flesh. His speed and strength had substantially grown. The next step was to descend to madness, but -- his tamer wasn't here. There was no going back if he started. It'd have to wait. Furthermore, he used another ability; this time a Paladin skill. He focused his energy, and casted a spell on both Fenrir and Marishka: Falter. The two of them would begin to contemplate on all of the bad they've done -- which, well, was a shitton. Sorry.
( Falter Rank: C The caster will use their own good aura, to afflict the target's mind, making them think about all the bad things they've done, from taking a cookie without permission, to killing a man in cold blood. This causes their attacks to cost a rank more, thus draining them faster.
Another ability involving her shield is Save Me (C), where her shield will rapidly grow and completely cover her front like a wall. It can even grow to cover her all 360 degrees, like a ball of steel-hard defense. The expansion of the shield is rapid, although not impossible to outspeed. This ability, like all of them, can also fulfill other purposes. For example, she's been known to expand it while pressing it against the enemy's body/weapon, which essentially forces them to lose their balance and she can smash them against the ground.
Awakening Rank: A Description: Every berserker can attain Inner Peace, but you can go further by using that inner peace to your advantage. The berserker will gain two strength and two speed for the duration of 10 post, however, when the fifteen post are done, all of the skills the berserker uses will cost one more rank in energy cost. Hand to Hand/Weapon skills will now cost energy for 10 post. Cool down of 10 post.
Zenithblade (A). The sword can become extremely difficult for the enemy to focus on, or even see. In fact, it becomes so blurry that you can barely tell where it is or where it's slashing at. This only lasts for one post, where at the end of the post a golden sun-colored extension of energy emerges from the tip and pierces through almost any weapon. )

Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the fairest of them all? stop, I know. It can't be me. I will accept no other fact. look, I am worthless. I have nothing. Others have everything. whisper, So obliterate the everything of everyone.
Fenrir would never risk being blinded again, not by this b***h. With his body surging with lightning, he kicked off to the left, tackling Bellona putting her of of harms way, narrowly. Though, quickly, Bellona cleansed the area, eradicating the Falter before initiating her own falter. Marishka, seeing an opening, finally summoned the Shadow Knight Undead Hero. It was Master Ranked, and cost her about 4/5's of her energy, but it was worth it. The shadowknight crawled from beneath the ground in front of Fenrir, first summoning a skeleton to aid him. When Raph touched the ground, Fenrir immediately began once more. After clenching his fist, the wolf easily took over the blood vessels in his right leg, forcing each one to go in opposite ways. A deafening crack was heard as Raphael's right femur bone snapped due to the rampant blood vessels attacking anything in his thigh. In the meantime, Marishka called forth a deep fog using mist of the night to cloud Raph's and Isis's vision.
For a few seconds, Raphael should be incapacitated. Which made him open. at that moment, the knight was already concealed with Marishka's fog. But going in a straight line was easy. He merely jumped forward, attempting to cleave Raphael in half.

Lightning Cage (Still In Effect) Rank: B Description: The user unleashes the Electro Barrage, and similar to the Hellzone-collision technique, misses on purpose. Instead though, the balls of lightning become a circular cage around the target, limiting their movement greatly. At A-S rank, the cage also extends into the air above the target, becoming a dome entrapment. This technique is used to limit a target’s movements so that subsequent attacks are more likely to strike.
Lightning Tackle Rank: D (C Rank energy) Description: This is the first instance where the user uses their electrical energy to enhance their own speed. By charging their body full of electricity for a split second the user flies off their feet and extends their arms to tackle an opponent with their palms facing towards them. The enhanced speed and the minor shocks from palms keep the opponent from breaking free or counterattacking as the user is free to push them into the nearest wall, or through it if they so desire.
Iron Blood Rank: A Description: User stands still and points an open hand at their target in which they focus on magnetizing the natural iron in their blood. Then the user forms a fist with their hand to manipulate the iron to manipulate the opponents body in a way of their choosing. Only lasts for a single post, and has a cooldown of 3 posts. Though you can make them injure themselves, you cannot make your opponent kill themselves (sorry).
Bellona Used: Cleanse Area Rank: C
Falter Rank: C The caster will use their own good aura, to afflict the target's mind, making them think about all the bad things they've done, from taking a cookie without permission, to killing a man in cold blood. This causes their attacks to cost a rank more, thus draining them faster.
ShadowKnight used: Summon Skeleton Rank: D

"Ugh!" He yelped loudly. Out of ******** nowhere, his leg was suddenly broken. Was this a drawback of the awakening? No, there was no way. Even when he was only just learning it, something like this didn't happen. It must've been done to him. He could've been standing in a spell for the entire time. ********. Why didn't he think of that. Everything started to feel miserable. He felt like he had no chance anymore. The darkness consumed him. Skeletons. A black knight. Everything. At least Isis was okay. Well... for now. The fog was his first concern; Isis would be fine. He used the Clarity ability, which quickly revealed to him that he was about to get his a** cut in half. He couldn't even stand. He barely had the strength to fight this. The only way... Raphael quickly had to chain his moves. First of all, he used the Hand of Blinding light, which would hopefully blind the shadowed creature considering it was right in front of him. It'd also give him temporary sight. He used this to target the Knight's hand with a quick Ki barrage, smashing energy against his blade-wielding arm, hoping to disarm him. Since he was uppercutting from below the arm, it'd be very difficult for the Shadow to avoid this extremely quick (10 speed) flurry of strikes (especially since Shadowknights are slow as balls). During the temporary moment where the light was binding him, Raphael crafted a Holy Sword and did the only thing he could with it. He gripped it with his Incubus Tail, used this extended reach to stab deep into the Knight, and threw his wings in front of his chest to defend from a potential attack. He kept Clarity active as he was stationary, so that he could predict other movements from within the fog.
Honestly, this had gotten extremely desperate, anyone could tell. He was at a huge disadvantage. But there was no point in giving up and letting yourself die without even trying. Isis, unharmed as of yet, went into full desperation. She instantly shifted into her contorted form, and prompted the Blade-Saw Death. She began to spin rapidly, and considering her armor and skin were both black, it was extremely difficult to tell where she was. The only thing you'd hear was a rotation, like wind spinning around. Fenrir hadn't gained too much distance on her, so she hoped to cleave him apart within moments of using this. Gaining speed and momentum throughout the spin, she was eventually toppling through her surroundings. She had never stopped locking onto Fenrir, so essentially she had an advantage in this darkness.
(Ki Barrage Rank: D Skill description: A weaker version of the Ki Assault skill. However, what it lacks for the same power makes up for the number. The user throws punches and kicks made purely of energy up to 5x each. (meaning 5 from hands and 5 from feet). These can easily break through D rank things and is ranged. At Expert rank, they can send double the amount. Each blow feels like a punch
Clarity Rank: E Limits: Must have eyes uncovered: Must know 'Sense Evil' The Paladin's eyes glow with holy light turning them completely bright white. Their eyes act temporarily as a way of tracking evil beings and taint across the land. When using this ability Paladins see evil beings give off an aura of shadow or dark based energy which is usually invisible to the human eye.
Hand of Blinding Light Rank: C If it uses ammo how much: Limits: Must know skill 'Hand of Illumination' Skill description: The Paladin extends their hand and gives off from it a beam of illuminating light that both blinds enemies and lights their way. It is impractical to try and look through the beam of light as its intensity is only slightly weaker than that of the Sun seen from a terrestrial viewpoint. ie: Really annoying. Due to its relatively high energy useage it should ususally only be applied in combat situations or lighting up especially dark caverns.
Obviously it only blinds people if the light hits them in the eyes and by closing your eyes it will not burn them. Is is bright enough though that it still can't be ignored.
Holy Weapon Rank: C Creates an object, usually a weapon, entirely from light (no physical substance is needed). The weapon is as strong as the average weapon of its kind in most cases. When used against unholy creatures, it does twice as much damage and is twice as durable. This weapon of light must be held and cannot be thrown. Losing contact with it will cause it to disappear. A D-rank amount of energy must be channeled into the object every three posts to keep the skill active.
Blade-Saw Grave (S). Isis will grow these saws all over her body, and spin wildly around like a spinning top. The saws, as well as her arms, will increase in range. The powerful aspect is that rather than a decrease of mobility, Isis will move more quickly around and be able to descend faster from the air. Considering her saws can easily slice strong materials apart, it's simple enough to say: stay the ******** away. She'll absolutely dominate anyone who tries to fight her like this. After three posts, or whenever she feels like, the spinning will end and all of the saws she grew (hundreds) will launch at the enemy very quickly. The longer she has spun, the faster and more forcefully they'll launch after gaining momentum. After three whole posts, the launch will be rapid and very hard to predict, or deal with. In fact, some might consider the launching of the saws to be Isis' most deadly attack. )

Using Betrayal, just about all of the damage that Raph dish out in a few seconds all went to the skeleton her summoned earlier. The shadow knight continued to run toward the injured incubus to try and finish the deed, but at that point, his body had frozen up. In fact everyone's body had frozen up in place. No one could move, except for Raphael. "Enough." A single deep voice had been loud enough to echo for silence in the loud Colosseum. If Rapahel looked at where the Tribunal sat, one of them were missing. Infact, the missing one was approaching Raphael. "You've survived more in the past 20 minutes more than anyone else has. Not only did you hold off Fenrir Graveheart, but also Marishka Valentine. Pretty damn good in my opinion." It was then that he released everyone from their hold. When he heard a word of protest from Marishka, he simply snapped his finger and after a toe curling scream, Marishka literally exploded in to several hundred bits and pieces. Fenrir and Bellona followed suit. "I've never liked her. Go, child of Lust. Go before I change my mind and make you battle me." He snapped his fingers again and the boy's wounds would have healed and a portal would open to his right.

Shane is lazy. Raphael is therefore lazy too. Lazy Raphael got off of his limp (now healed) a** and walked into this portal. There were surely some "wow"s and gasps, but I'm too tired to write all of them.
