A lone female with her cerulean tail walks out onto the arena, carrying with her a microphone as she looks around and smiles as she stepped onto the stage. "HELLO LADIES AND GENTLEMENNNN! WELCOME!" She started before suddenly one of the speakers gave feedback, which quickly got on her nerves as she shot a glare at it before she shook her head. "Welcome to the first and possibly only Tournament of Flames ever needed to be held! Your gracious host, and the best host, offers you all a chance for 10,000,000 lien and bragging rights as usual, but he does want people to follow the rules. As you can see by the size of the arena, a nicely made 90ftx90ft squared arena, you have two ways of obtaining victory in the first round." She started, walking around in the center as her hips swayed and it commanded her tail to follow as she knew she had all eyes on her.
"First, and probably the easiest way to win for all you common knuckleheads, is incapacitate your opponent. You can't kill them, but make it to where they cannot continue the battle. Whether it's by paralyzing them long enough for a 10 count or they are knocked cold, if you can get them down, you win. The second way to win, is to Knock them out of bounds. If you can't hold your own in the arena, and that includes your footing, you're not meant to be a huntsman NOR a fighter! Better to pack your things and leave in shame!" She began to laugh quite heartily into the mic as she grinned at the stunned audience just beyond the image of the arena's viewing.
"Right now, the rules remain as such, you fight, you win. You can use whatever you bring in but you are not allowed to kill your opponent, any attempts will disqualify you right in the get go. Now let's introduce our contestants to see who can handle the host at the end..." She started with a small grin and was slowly lifted into the air by way of a flying drone holding her up on some swing as she sat on it. "First up, another student of beacon... wooooo..." She started off sarcastically before she grinned and leaned into the mic to speak softly. "But a gorgeous student from Beacon who hails from Atlas, give some love to my favored pick AAAAAAAPOLLO CRIMSON!" She shouted as a Jeep drove towards the Arena across the bumpy terrain before drifting into a park, letting the man named Apollo exit out of the Vehicle to make his way into the ring. She smiled as some of the ladies could be heard ogling their eyes at him before Lilli cleared her throat before she spoke with a bit of a gutteral edge to her voice.
"Our next comer, another student from Beacon who lives life with nothing but hate as far as we can tell, and a penchant for death itself, it's the man who we are free to call edgelord mk. II Rey YAAAAAGIIIIII!!!" She shouted before she coughed into the mic, rubbing her throat as she shook her head as a Vehicle carrying another traversal cage drove up and opened the cage as it stopped, letting the ramp fall onto the Arena for Rey to exit from the Cage. "Never again am I doing that. GO APOLLO!" She shouted, namely to avoid doing a gutteral entry for Rey once more as she grinned, sowing a bit of chaos as some of the fauni in the audience shouted at her for favoritism while she stuck her tongue out at them. "Go cry yourself to sleep whiners... you two FIGHT!" She shouted at them with a smile.

Did they really think that favoritism was going to work? That Rey was going to be shocked? He was use to such situations. He was use to the hatred. To being betted against. To hear that even the announcer was against him made him no different. A loud bang would make it self known as Rey smacked the cage before exiting and entering into the ring. The Demon faunus looked focused almost similar to his focus when fighting Pyrve.. He was not going to wait around for someone get gutsy. As the announcer fought with the crowd, he would walk towards the center of the ring. Soon as she said fight, Serow would be wielded as he headed towards Apollo. Off the gate, he was going for a charge assault straight for Apollo. His blade going to try and aim at Apolloś chest. ¨DON CRY WHEN YOU LOSE!

Apollo stepped from the vehicle once it came to a stop and he heard his name. The announcer seemed to be on his side and that was more than what he imagined given his background but he won't complain, it's not every day he manages to muster up the desire to want to get his hands dirty, usually he has to be driven into it. Apollo stretches and eyes his opponent as he was announced taking in his appearance with a wonder to what kind if man he would be fighting. Once the two males were aloud to start Apollo got his answer, the male charged him with a slash directed at his chest. The banter he got from Rey was not appreciated either.Great he is a loud one.Apollo said as he quickly tried to jump back unable to fully make it out of range of the slash, Apollo gave Rey a look as his shirt was now ruined before following it up with a barbaric like batter swing holding Shame at one of the ends, his intent was to return the favor of blood spilled with a solid hit to the gut.This blood will never wash out.
....It will hurt alot less when you all finally realize that.

The follow up would come just as quick. Rey was not scared of his opponent nor did he care about the attack that was coming. In fact, it was a gambit that was going to show how Rey was going to take this fight. He wanted victory and he was not going to wait on it. Activating his semblance, he would go for an impaling stab towards Apollo while putting his aura up defensively for the attack that was coming. While Apollo hit, unless he backed out and tried move out the way, would do damage to Rey. Rey was going for a finishing blow early on. With his aura piercing semblance activated, he went from a driving pierce to Apolloś chest. His balls of his feet would launch him forward into his assault to put more momentum into the attack.

Apollo was impressed the follow up of the swordsman as the tenacity he displayed was quite something given the attack he throw his way before hand. Now faced with another direct attack again aimed at his chest Apollo felt now was a good time to counter the direct attempts. Bolstering his shield over his chest still holding Shame by its end, what Apollo thought would happen was a crushing counter that would flatten the swordsman upon his attack being countered and hard....but when the blade was supposed to be blocked by the aura his aura signaling his counter something happened that he never counted on. The swordsman blade slipped through his aura and began to drive into him, The shock of surprise and pain caused him to jerk slightly causing the blade to change direction in mid thrust, the wound was now jagged but now the blade pierced his chest but had been turned towards his left shoulder. Despite how the action seemed Apollo miniaturized the damage he could have recieved if the attack continued straight on. Aaarrruugh!The sound escaped through now grit teeth and a grimaced face and though Apollo's plan didn't go through as planned Apollo would not let such an attack go unpunished. Apollo dropped Shame to the ground and quickly went to grapple the elbow joints of Rey and yank down and if successful Apollo would go for a headbutt to Rey's nose.

Rey was not able get all of his attack through but he did more than enough damage to his opponent. Looking at the male in front of him, he would expect him to give up, but when he went for his elbows in an attempt to wrestle, something Rey was into, he would not panic at all. He wanted to see what he was going to go for. Rey had an idea to try overpower the male and slam him to the ground but when the male went for a head but towards Rey´s nose, he demon would turn his head forward and meet the headbutt straight on. His aura was protecting his head, but he he had it mostly focused on his horns that was mostly shield by the hair. Do to the turning of his head as if he was nodding, the headbutt would go instead of on the nose to on the horns of Rey which would in theory do more damage to Apollo than Rey. This was just not his field, and Rey was going to prove that. After the impact of the headbutt, Rey would attempt to move away from Apollo and move his sword out of the man. If Apollo would not allow for it, then Rey would be fine staying within close range. In fact, that would just be perfect for him.

[Apollo did not like how that headbutt attempt ended, with the quickest turn at last minute Rey had managed to turn his head and lead the male into what Apollo could only assume was a horn that was hidden in Rey's hair. The lemur male grit his teeth from the self inflicted pain. Rey wasted little time trying to retrieve his blade that was currently still inside the shoulder of Apollo. The lemur would make no attempt stop the Swordsman as he withdrew his blade. Damn it!Apollo cursed as he focused himself with the time the swordsman granted him, although grateful Apollo didn't want Rey looking down on him. Wiping away the blood that now began to leak from his head then taking Shame into his right hand, the lemur tried raising his left arm up to grip the staff with both hand and displayed quite the pitiful attempt as he tried ultimately Apollo decided it was best to just let his arm hang to his side. The eyes of Apollo returned to the swordsman as he saw him Apollo this time went on the offensive, using the range on Shame Apollo threw his whole body the swing pressing a button on the staff causing a purple light to glow from the staff. Apollo's attack is aimed for the left thigh of Rey in attempt to even the field again.

He might of had the fans on his side but he was backed against the wall. The delinquent never knew true pain. If he knew any type of pain at all. He was not fighting just some street punk or some thug. He was fighting someone that had to do what was needed to survive. Someone that needed to kill in order to move forward. It was almost saddening how the faunus before him was fighting. Desperation but without true spirit. Without true will to fully go on. NO one can tap into that spirit unless they truly knew they were going to die. This tournament did not allow for it. Rey knew what needed to be done, and he was going to put him down. He was a wounded animal that was practically begging for it anyways. He did not just watch his opponent squirm like a sad dog. A dust would be activated. It was time to put this to rest once and for all. He would show him mercy. His attack was desperate. With dust loaded into Serow, it was time to end this once and for all. The male was placing his all into the next strike. Another hop would occur, the faunus trait showing itself again as Rey jumped in order to dodge the strike and get behind Apollo. Once landing, he would crank the lever and stab his blade into the ground activating the plant dust. The dust would take effect of a 10 x 10 area do to the plant dust being of the bigger variety. With Apollo off balance, the plant dust would attempt to grab a hold of Apollo and try to use its vines to strangle and choke Apollo out. Usually he would of went and contested Apollo strike with his own just to prove he could over power him, but Rey went with a smarter plan. His battles of Pyrve and Aeralin creeping into his style. If everything went correctly and the plant did get a hold of Apollo, Rey would just stand there and wait. ¨Give up!¨

A leap was all it took to get pass his attack with Rey once again in an advantageous position ending up behind him. Apollo stumbled and tried to regain his footing but was unable to as Rey deployed a follow up attack. Plant dust was his choice and it landed gripping Apollo in a grip that did not sit well with his shoulder and all of that pain on top of the strangle hold he was now locked in, boy has definitely seen better days and in truth Apollo was not all there, he may have pushed himself into a fight but the desire was just not in him as he was. Apollo dropped Shame as he began gasping for air as he slowly looked up to the swordsman doubt about the fight piled on with pain of that shoulder he was done but before he could even give in he was stopped by Rey, his look didn't really seem to register but what he said..."Give up!" Apolla had heard those words for as long as he could remember, everyone that saw him only for one side of things, those that tried to take advantage of his situation for their own benefit and worst of all those that think they are better because of his past. That.....again?... Apollo said managing through the now severe lack of oxygen before coughing weakly. Focus begins to narrow down on Rey and everything else went silent and hazy his heart beat hastened as red began to creep into his irises and the hint of red outlined his body. Apollo would release a crimson 10ft tall and 10ft wide wave from the front of his body aimed towards Rey, the male's attack ruined his clothing and bindings though in his state Apollo didn't care. The newly acquired air entered his lungs as he the bindings were released and the lemur did not hesitate to follow up by trailing behind his construct, as if doing some kind if aggressive sneak attack, till seeing his chance to strike.

The ant wouldn't give up. He would watch as the plant was strangling him. Taking the air out of his body. But something happened. Whether it was desperation or a calculated move, his semblance would activate and sent out a projection of crimson wave towards Rey. He thought it was just aura at first, but as the wave passed him over, his body was starting to be cut to shreds. A few seconds of shredding occurred before he put his aura up to handle the rest. Rey was surprised, but not scared. If he wanted to fight till the very end, then so be it. As he finished bracing from the attack that just occurred, he would load his blade with another dust and just prepare. The crimson had covered Apollo and made him somewhat obscure but that wasn't going to stop Rey/ He did the best e could to get on the defensive. A big move occurred, Apollo had to go for a shot, but where was he? OOC: Dust: 4 xblue 1 hardlight 2 light blue. 2 electricity. 1 water BATTLE THEME: Burn in my Light Post Count: 156

Apollo was surprised the swordsman decided to withstand the attack but did not question the what had gone in his favor for once in the battle and took to his faunus nature and leapt as high as he could as Rey withstood the attack, his intent was to have the swordsman lose sight of so that he could catch him off guard. Once the crimson wave passed Apollo landed behind Rey calling Shame to him, like a propeller Shame spun at crazy speeds at shin breaking level with Rey being the only obstacle between Apollo and Shame. Give up!? Apollo yelled defiantly, in truth he only yelled out like that to startle Rey and take his attention so maybe he would take the hit from Shame and hopefully be knocked of balance or better yet flat on the ground.

Annoying this was becoming, but Rey was more than happy to bring it to an end. He knew what dust he had loaded. He just needed get a good shot and it would be possible end up just knocking him out of bounds. Or, bring him down with a follow up attack. He did lose sight of the faunus but when he called out in defiance, Rey just smirked. Starting to turn around towards Apollo, his peripheral vision would pick up on the staff that was coming towards his legs. This was not the first time Rey faced something similar. In fact, Ora´s weapon had a similar trick to it. Rey did something, unique. He would Brace himself for the impact of the staff. As it smacked into his legs, it would continue try go towards Apollo, but after tripping up Rey a little. He knew it was going to happen but by continuing his turn, he at least be able see Apollo as he recovered. The recovery did not take much as the trip did not make Rey stumble too much. The hint was he let the staff smack into him first and used his aura to absorb most the damage before moving his feet for the eventual sweep. Less momentum from staff so less power int the tripping action.
With Apollo with his weapon, he would go for a follow up strike to the head. Rey however, would just point Serrow out towards Apollo and rev. The revving caused the dust to activate, sending out a high pressurized torrent of water from its tip area straight for Apollo. As the torrent sprays do to its large volume of water (since was big crystal size) Rey added powder of electricity dust into the stream sending a electrical current through the stream in hopes to not only soak Apollo but zap him as well. ¨You really starting to piss me out.¨ Rey commented simply as his legs ached still from the staff hit.

The battle was heating up between the two as she watched them back and forth, her eyes focusing but her voice resting because Rey's entrance did a number for the time being. She slowly moved away to grab a bottle of water from one of the guards on duty and sighed softly. "Thanks sugar." She told him before the drone brought her back to the arena as the battle continued. It was an intense and very personal fight from how it was all going from Rey literally stabbing Apollo with the sword, to a retaliating headbutt, and then ripping the sword out of the Lemur. She giggled as blood had spilled more effectively on the arena before a sweep attempt was lead into a summon plants as they wrapped around Apollo in an attempt to strangle him. She heard on her earpiece that the battle may be going too far but she shook her head and giggled, wanting it to play out.
Shouts of 'give up' were thrown by Rey as Apollo still fought on, releasing a wave of red energy that snapped the vines and tore his own clothing in the process. Her eyes focused on the battle as suddenly Rey was attacked, blood being drawn before he protected himself and lost sight of Apollo for the moment. She adjusted her seat as she watched the final strike between the two. Soon enough, Apollo seemed to have gotten the attack, but it was a trick by Rey who was quick to use this time to use a high-pressure torrent of water with lightning to send Apollo backward and due to the water and blood on the arena, knock the poor man out of bounds while electrocuting him. She sighed and brought the mic to her mouth as she spoke. "Disappointing, but an intense fight regardless. The winner of this bout and advancing on is the Edgelord, REY YAGI!!!!" She called out, slowly moving close but not too close as she tossed the mic to the man as she used a special mic to talk next. "Congrats kid, you advanced to the next round, got any words to tell the other competitors or to the head honcho? Make it snappy, we're on a time clock~" She told him with a grin.
