Thє Cσlσsєum: Shσwcαsє.Ḇustling Ęnergy ╔═══════════════════════════════════════════════▨✥▨═══════════════════════════════════════════════╗
Every year during the water festival, the arena becomes the center stage as an action showcase for anyone who wants to show off what they can do. This varies from fighting, to shooting targets, and even to obstacle courses within the arena. This event during the water festival stands as a way for people to feel confident that they can survive and persevere against the creatures of grimm...and to just get the adrenaline pumping at the excitement from the matches. While the fights, talents, and individuals in the show may vary one thing always remains the same; the arena is always water themed during the events. The audience can even participate in the matches at times for certain shows, to add a layer of fun and randomness into the matches with anything from water balloons or water guns they can have fired into the arena. In this weeks event, eight shows are planned for the audiences viewing pleasure. The shows themselves won't be revealed to the general public until the match is about to begin, to keep some excitement and mystery as to what they will see.
Premiere match
The Valkyrie vs The Un-killable Slave

Thє Cσlσsєum: Shσwcαsє.Ḇustling Ęnergy Exhibition: The Valkyrie vs the Un-killable Slave ╔═══════════════════════════════════════════════▨✥▨═══════════════════════════════════════════════╗
"Welcome to the fourth annual water festival!" The voice of the announcer rang across the stadium, being broadcast from a variety of speakers for the crowd gathered in the stands. A small murmur of cheers would rise up from those especially excited for the event. The announcer, what sounded like a man with a sportscaster voice, would wait for the small cheer to die down a bit before continuing.
"We hope the shows we have lined up for you during this festival will be even better than last years and keep you on the edge of your seats.I want to give you all a special thanks to you all for joining us today, as all profits from this event go to try and help the poor refugees we have." The announcer would pause again after saying so, as the arena in front of the crowd would begin to shift and get into place."For all you fighting fans, or those of you that want to see the grimm get whats coming to them, you'll be happy to know we have a large lineup in store for you. Our contestants will, as has been our theme from the start of this festival these last four years, show off what they got in a variety of water based arenas. They'll have to contend with their environment, show off their talent, and try not to get tripped up by our own fan picked interventions that may come up during their shows. And as always, there may be a special treat for some of you to participate in these matches indirectly." He would finish to the roar of the crowd, some obviously more than others at the thought of seeing a lot of fights or the grimm being defeated. It was an important part of the exhibition to make people feel they had people who could protect them.
"The contestants will have a few rounds to try and beat their opponent in the spar, with the winner getting a special prize. As always, if there doesn't seem to be a clear winner we will leave it to the audience to choose who performed the best!" The announcer would stop for a moment as the arena would then finish shifting. An island would appear in the center of the arena, surrounded by a large body of water. The waves from the water seemed wild and choppy, crashing against the shore of the island with some going pretty far in before receding. A few palm trees stood on the island, with a variety of jagged rocks as well. Two panels would open from beneath the sand, and from it a platform would rise from each. "Now, without further ado, lets get on with what you've all been waiting for! Our first match shall be between The Un-killable Slave and The Valkyrie!" The crowd would roar in anticipation as the platform would have risen fully, revealing two figures on opposite sides of this small "island". The contestant had been brought up from below the arena on a platform full of sand themselves to fill in the spots on the beach that had been opened.
"On your marks, get ready, fight!" The announcer would finish as fireworks would shoot into the sky above the arena, exploding into flashes of blue.

Ora couldn't help but sign up when she heard that there was going to be a tournament. Her 2 and a half months in the hospital wasn't gona stop her. She stayed in shape there, by making sure that she kept trying to escape. If she could get further down the hall while running, she was making an improvement.
However, she had gotten word that someone was asking about Narx. She couldn't let them see him, not until she got to see what they wanted with him. Narx still wasn't ready to give up his delusion, so until he did, Ora would act as the gate keeper. He would be able to enjoy his feathered floozy for a while longer.
She had gotten to the sign up after him. She obtained his name, and she put herself down as fighting him. Honestly, they should have have more security when it came to that list. If someone like her could fix it so that she was his opponent, then anyone could.
When she walked onto the field, she had white contacts in her eyes. She wanted to seem like she lost control on the field, while having every bit of her intelligence, which wasn't much to be honest. She was in a red bodice that showed the scars on her chest, and even between her cleavage, Around her waist was a skirt that had a slit almost to the top, being held by a loose belt with chains hanging from it. She also wore a long sleeve shirt with fleece on the hood and around her wrists. On her legs were black stockings, with knee high leather boots, with tiny spikes on them. The Spikes weren't meant to damage, just to add some flair. Under her sleeves, there were metal gauntlets, from her old suit of armor. Sadly, she had lost those in the Omega mission.
On her back was what looks like a heavy, unwieldy weapon. She was told that it wasn't a viable weapon, but she would prove them wrong. This was almost like the one the scientists made her wield as a child. It was sized up for her, and they added a drill. She almost wanted to rev it so get the crowd up, but it wasn't time. She'd face her Opponent, her horns to the wind. "With our horns to the sky!" She would exclaim to Rey, hoping that he returned with the rest of the phrase. If he did, she knew that she was in a friendly match with a brother in arms.

The day finally came. He almost forgot about the battle until the festival notification was sent out to him. He was given an opponent. A person name Ora. He did not remember this name, but at the same time there were many people who he did not remember specifically. He was a fighter. He was a warrior. He was not one who was keeping track of other demon faunus. He did know one thing for sure, with all the build up annoyance from the past months could finally get released. Hearing how grand they made this out to be, it was much different than his time as a slave. There were no audience cheering for healthy competition. It was kill or be killed. Many lost everything when it came to situations like these. The mere thought they can beat the hell out of each other and go home without consequences. It felt almost like they made a game out of serious hard ships.
Rising up on the platform and being revealed to the public, the sun beamed on his horns as well along with his white hair. He could see the reaction on some of the peoples faces. His look seemed as if he was older than what he was. The amount of blades he wielded. The cold negatives stare coming from his eyes that gave off a bad feeling. The negative caused some of the stored grim to cry out and rumble trying to be free. One thing was for sure..this match could possibly get ugly. Looking at his opponent Ora who was risen as well, he would start to take off his shirt for the battle. A natural thing he just did especially dating back to before he was rescued. His body displayed many marks, cuts, and scars that weren't able to be healed. Years of fighting and history carved onto his body. Was he going to use Serow today? He did not know. She has scars too he thought to himself.
She exclaimed something to him, a phrase that she seemed so random but yet Rey knew exactly what it was. He would say nothing to Ora. He just waited for the fight to begin. The water biome was an interesting one for sure. He was intrigued how it was going to play into the fight. The waves were a major factor along with the rocks all along the island. Things he could use to his advantage. Soon as the fireworks burst a bright pretty blue in the sky, Rey charged quickly towards Ora. Once within 20 ft Ora, he would pounce towards her. His strong legs propelling him straight at her as he went for a bull rush type of assault. His goal, crash down upon her slashing with his blade or colliding with his body.

Ora got no response from him for their war cry, fine. There was no indication of if he remembered it. She wouldn't have even stopped this fight if he had. She knew this wasn't a matter of life or death. She wouldn't even have to go all out for this fight. Not that she ever wanted to go all out for a fight, as it meant losing control of herself.
She would then see him bull rush towards her, with a blade drawn. She would chuckle and reach behind her back, pulling the large lance like weapon. She would then position it take the brunt of his slashing attack. Due to the sand under her feet, he did push her, but she held strong. However, instead of attacking again on her own, she would speak. "I'm here to find out why you want to speak to Narx, since you don't seem to know the warcry." Her voice was serious this time. She said it low enough for just for him to hear it in their close quarters.

Rey would collide against her weapon . The pounce pushing her back in the sand. Even if she was holding strong, he found it impressive. "This going to be a good fight" he thought to himself out loud. Smiling at it all, he would try apply more pressure to the collision with his strength. Hearing her asking about Narx, Rey did not answer. That was not what this we about. Talking could come later! "You expect me recite such a war cry during battle at this time? Want your answers? Then defeat me then! Should not be hard. You a demon too aren't you?" He questioned before he continued.
Now landed on his feet from pounce, he would go for another pounce but aim thr momentum at trying to push Ora over instead of jumping into the air. Was she stronger than him? Doubt it. Just as strong? He wasn't sure. If he could get her to the ground, he was going to go for win. This was Rey style. Unrelenting assault.

Ora would chuckle at his pondering. "Of course it's gona be a good fight." She would hold where she was. He would start to put pressure on the shield. Oh, he was a strength demon! She knew all demons had a strength to them, but his was actually in power. He seemed to have the same strength as Felix. Oh, this would be fun. She would, step to the side, letting his blade grind against her shield. "Actually, I do, you only needed to finish the end of it. Well, I figured it'd be easier to fight and talk, seeing we don't have to pretend to actually be sheep and goats in here. Yes, I am a demon, and it won't be hard to defeat someone like you."
She would then step away again, her leg doing it in a way that people wouldn't expect. This was mostly because of the scars that lined her legs, causing her to move differently than other people. She would grab the back of the head of her lance-like weapon, and pull it from both the handle of the weapon, and the head. This caused them to separate into a shield and short spear. She would bring it up again, and then with her right hand, she would make a stab at him with her should. A red, flaming aura would come from her back, projected into the air. It wasn't hot, but Ora was just so excited for the fight.

Thє Cσlσsєum: Shσwcαsє.Ḇustling Ęnergy Exhibition: The Valkyrie vs the Un-killable Slave ╔═══════════════════════════════════════════════▨✥▨═══════════════════════════════════════════════╗
The crowd watched in anticipation for the fight to begin, all in various states of anticipation. As Rey took off in a charge, there was a murmured hush over the crowd till he pounced and went on the attack. As his blade clashed with Ora's Lance, a small cheer went up in the stands. Already people were picking sides; some wanting the unkillable slave to win for his aggression while others the valkyrie for defending herself. Those in favor of Rey's voice would grow as he pushed her back a bit, hoping he would break through her defenses while those in favor of Ora fell into silence. As Rey would disengage only briefly to pounce Valkyrie again, the latter seemed to take things in stride and deflected/ side stepped his new assault. With some space between them, Valkyrie finally went on the offensive as she split her weapon and went for her first strike. The crowd cheered, and as her red aura flared some cheers grew louder while others grew concerned, wondering what was occurring down there in the arena, while others still just lay silent in anticipation. The announcer, seeing the red flame and seeing it as aura, would smile as he turned on the mic again.
"And we are off to an explosive start here folks! It seems, despite the un-killable Slaves aggression, Valkyrie has managed to hold her own and is finally going for a counter attack with a fiery flare! It seems the Unkillable has had trouble getting past her defense in all this, so why don't we change things up a little?" He would excitedly announce and end with a rhetorical question as he pressed a button. As he did, the contestants would feel their arena shake a small bit. Perhaps getting them a bit off balance. And they would hear the sound of rushing water. If they looked, they would see a very large wave coming from behind Ora. The wave being roughly seven feet tall, and did not look like it was diminishing in size. If they wanted to avoid the water, they would have to climb or jump onto one of the taller jagged rocks. Or they could try to bear the brunt of the wave and stay on ground level, perhaps try one last attack before bracing for the hit. The crowd could only watch with some people on the edge of the seat while others cried out for the contestants to dodge.

Her words were annoying but at least the actions were making this into an enjoyable match! With his blade sliding against her shield and her stepping back, Rey would reset himself and pull out serow, loading it with a yellow clip. Kenjutsu was his bread and butter so he did not mind a battle like this at all and since she was going to have a shield he felt it was time use that against her. He did not understand why she was still harping on the war cry. He was here for a fight, relishing over the past can occur afterward.
With her strike against him, he would block with serow by making a mighty strike against her stab attempt to cause great collision. He noticed earlier she was not pushing him back with her own strength. He had the advantage there and he was going to keep up the pressure. After the parry, he would feel the ground shake. The announcer was filtering into his hear now instead of being tuned out. Was something changing? Yes it was! It seems that there was a tidal wave of water that was coming to collide onto them both from Ora direction. So what would Rey do? He would use his smoke bombs and throw them down, obscuring the sight for both of them. There was one thing though, Ora's aura glowing that was coming from her back. Rey hoped to use that as a guide to strike while she was in transition thanks to his faunus leaping ability. Now what was she going to do? Would she be hit by water? Try to find her way to safety. Rey was like a predator, waiting for his prey to show up. If it was strong enough to be seen in the stands, it should stick out through the smoke then. Of course, everything was in theory.

Aurelia Hayes
┗━━━━━━━━┛
✬Deputy Head Mistress of Beacon Academy✬ Shadow Education Minister✬
Up in the private box seats, Aurelia watched the fight happening below with a steely gaze. Since becoming Deputy Headmistress, she had attended this event for a much different reason than most. To observes and judge their students. The exhibition was an opportunity for them to show off, as it were, and she felt incumbent to see what they decided to show off and how well they performed. Below, two such students had decided to spar.
She gave a vexed sound after a few moments of Ora holding her block. Why was the girl not making a counter? She could have used Rey's momentum against him. This won't do at all. Rey was certainly looking to take advantage of the lack of counter-attack by Ora. Finally, she thought, as Ora took a step back and transformed her weapon. However, the runners of the exhibition had different ideas, sending a wave towards the pair of students. How will they adapt to this? Rey seemed more concerned about getting a strike on Ora than he was about getting out of the way of the impending wave. A very risky move. Trying to get that final blow on a Grimm could see a huntsman dead. Or it could save lives.

Ora would watch as her spear point was stopped by the point of his blade. That was fine. She would start to spin her spear to make another attack on him with it when the ground shook. Normally this wouldn't be enough to stop her, however, her opponent had stopped attacking for a moment. She peered to her side, seeing the wave about to hit her.
He would throw a smoke bomb at her feet, covering her in a thick smoke. She couldn't help but cough, her lungs were still recovering from the toxic air in the volcano. She was much better than she had been back then, but things still irritated her throat. Ora would spin her short spear around in her hands, and connect it to the shield, making it a lance again. She would use her strength to hit the sand behind her. The 7 foot wave was almost upon her. She would then stay where she was, bracing herself. Her back turned from a bright firey red, to a curious orange. She would then have her left hand outstretched. If Rey came towards her, she would fire a bullet from her gauntlet, then she would lift the lance from the ground, and swing it towards him. It didn't matter if he came by air, land or sea. She was ready for him.

His theory was correct, but he did not know just how exactly effective his smoke bomb was. He did not know about the Omega mission. He was nowhere near for that. With the smoke taking its effect, her aura glowing was leading the way. However, she did not try to escape but was accepting her fate. Big mistake! He was now on the hunt. She stabled herself to brace for the impact and now had nowhere to go. Charging towards Ora, his steps would be muddled by the consistent rumbling of the island that was occuring thanks to the wave that was about to smack against the two. This would make hearing him among the rumble extremely difficult and with the smoke bombs that he used affecting sight, would she notice him before it was too late? Rey´s idea was to attack the glow which meant her back. When he charged, he didn´t go straight in but instead closed in on her in an arch or more of a semi circle. Reasoning for this was because even if he felt he had the upper hand, Rey did not want any surprises. Plus heading straight first to his opponent has already been done twice in a row. It was time for something different plus make him harder to hit since he he be a moving target bother horizontal and vertically instead of just vertically in which takes less skill and aim to hit him.
Once he closed in on her, he would activate his semblance, the black aura covering his blade while he pulled the ignition trigger. The ignition trigger on serow would activate the dust that was loaded and release the energy near the tip. Why was this important? That energy was electrical dust and it was going to be discharge from the tip of his blade as he swung it towards Ora. The swing was an upward diagnol slice similar almost to that of an augmented baseball swing. With the swing, the electrical dust would be release and a shocking blast would enhance the attack. This was Rey´s gambit. Even if he didn´t get clean hit, his theory was the electrical discharge would get her considering the range of dust effects. This was not going to be a regular electrical attack. Instead, thanks to his semblance being activated and covering the blade and with the blade being in connection to his hand and the dust, the electricity would have the aura piercing effect too. This focus on attacking meant he was defenseless against the waves but that was a risk he was willing to take. You don´t survive on cowardice!
OOC: TLDR: He used his semblance onto his blade which was augmented by the dust. Due to the connection, the dust carried his semblance effect as well. Released semblance infused lightning slash blast.

【 Profile 】
Ora watched the air as she stood. While she wasn't able to fully see, she would be able to see some air movement. Her eyes would flash to her peripheral vision, there was movement coming to her back. She could tell it wasn't the wave. It wasn't coming from the right direction. Why did people think that her back was vulnerable? She knew her back would cause issues because it lit up, but it had always lit up when she had a strong emotion. She would grab high on her lance, almost to the tip of the short spear when it was separated. She'd plant her left leg, and leave her right leg loose. She would then lean forward, the blade slicing through her leather jacket as she moved out of the way. A shock wracked through her body, it hurt her, but it wasn't something that she hadn't felt before. Lightening cracked along the metal she had on her outfit, and as she got to where he swung, she would lift up her right leg, coating it in aura, to try and hit him. This aura wasn't to strengthen it, it was to make it so she could use her semblance on him, since he was an enemy right now. Though, it could hurt based on the small studs on it.
"Do you think you're the first person to try to use this on me? I'm well aware of my light and how it shines." Then, the wave would crash on them. Ora did not have as good as a hold as she wanted, but she wasn't swept away.

While it was not the complete victory one was hoping for, in a battle it was always about what you can get in. A noted blow was better than nothing and Rey full well accepted his fate on what was about to happen next do to his gambit. With the attack causing a hindrance of speed to Ora and the wave that was coming, one may consider it luck or bad luck for Rey. Since he had nothing to hold him down, the wave would sweep him away and move him away from Ora a few moments before the kick would of connected with him. Due to it not being a fast counter thanks to his dusts effect on her, he was safe from the kick and connecting with her aura. Unfortunately, that left another issue all together and that was the wave that he was swallowed up by. Forcing Serow back into its sheath, he prepared for the worse and put up his aura.
With his aura up, he would let the wave play out. The violent wave would smack him against the ground roughly 30ft away from Ora. The wave wasn´t bad in which the rest of the water smacked against him after he was slammed to the ground. He hated using his aura but unfortunately the situation called for it. Picking himself up off the ground now soaking wet from the wave, his combed his hand through his hair to move it out of his vision. I would say that mostly even. Though the wet clothes aren´t going to slow me down. Let´s reset this. See if she can actually do something offensive. Rey would think. There was some distance to cover now. What would she do?
