((nah its been to long and i can't really get into fighting at the moment))  

[Lord Yawgmoth]

Bubbling up from the dark corners of the arena came the blackened liquid form of Yawgmoth. The form shifted and then with a snap of dark power became a solid figure with his arms crossed over his broad chest. The Lord of the Wastes waited for his opponent to show knowing that with his ability to walk from shadow to shadow he'd likely be here first by a pretty good margin. The thrill was getting to him already. Not too long in this strange place and he'd already found a wonderfully sinister woman and now a fight. After he beat the living hell out of this boy all he needed was a good steak and the three Fs would be complete in under twenty-four hours. What a lovely day indeed.  

[Mistress Crow Darkstryde]

Do you think he will show? Crow had come to see the fight between the two men, perhaps out of boredom, perhaps she just needed to smell the sweet irony scent of blood on the air to satiate her other desire.  

[Kumouri-kun]

Storm clouds soon gathered overhead, the rumble of thunder soon being heard from them. Then came a powerful bolt of lightning striking the ground in the middle of the arena. Suddenly Ryu Kage stood there, Halbert in hand. He looks to Yawgmoth and ask "Any conditions for our match?"  

[Lord Yawgmoth]

"We suppose that answers your question." he replied to Crow. Yawgmoth's head shifted from one side to the other, bones crackling with each move. "No. We wouldn't want to place arbitrary limits on you. When we crush you, we want you to know you had every option at your disposal and that even then, you still weren't a match for us." his tone of voice had changed since leaving the bar from playful smug arrogance to deadly serious. The name of the game was brutality and humiliation. No need for false teasing pretenses. He knew what he was here to do and he hoped the other man understood this wasn't some friendly duel or spar. This was going to be a brawl.  

[Mistress Crow Darkstryde]

The ebony haired temptress smirked as she felt the static in the air from the lightening. So We see he has balls it seems. leaning forward, Crow adjusted her tresses from her face to keep her vision pure. She didn't want to miss a thing. But, does that mean he is brave or merely a fool to be crushed beneath our heel afterwards? Her left heel tapped the ground as if to prove a point. Promise me blood boys. Crow's laughter filled the arena as she found a spot to watch the slaughter.  

[Kumouri-kun]

A no holds bar match, so be it. He says before pointing his Halbert at Yawgmoth. His body gave a faint glow before launching a powerful bolt of lighting at him. Why bother holding back if the other wasn't going to either.  

[Lord Yawgmoth]

Yawgmoth's shadow on the ground expanded into a circle around him, a solid five foot radius in every direction as the man spoke. When he hurled the bolt of lightning a mass of shadowy black tendrils shot up and huddled together forming a wall that blocked the bolt letting its electric power dissipate through them. With their task complete they spun about the circle covering every direction. Sixteen of them in total, each about five feet long and growing every second as expanding outward. The Lord of the Wastes said and did nothing physically himself besides stare his foe down unblinking. One of the tendrils in front snapped backwards and then whipped at the man from the left side to try and ensnare him or lacerate across. If the tendril touched anything, he'd be in for quite the unpleasant surprise.  

[Kumouri-kun]

Ryu saw the tendril of shadow come at him and held up his free hand toward it, a wall of bright lightening forming, destroying the tendril once it made contact. I've dealt with shadow users before. Granted your shadow wall is mildly impressive at dispersing my first attack. But that wasn't my best. and I suspect that tendril wasn't your best either. He says before pointing his Halbert again at the protective circle of shadows. Only this time a freezing blast of icy wind blows at Yawgmoth, intending to freeze both him and his shadows.  

[Lord Yawgmoth]

"Assuming our shadows are anything like other users will be your undoing boy." he replied in a calm but serious tone. He intended to prove his point by letting the icy wind blow by without resisting it. It wouldn't do anything anyway. Yawgmoth's shadows were pure unfiltered darkness. No light. No heat. It wasn't possible to freeze something like that. As for his own body well, if the man hadn't taken note already of how easily the Lord of the Wastes became one with the darkness when stepping through the shadows to appear and reappear he clearly hadn't been enough attention to things. It was almost reflex like to let the darkness coat him and shield his skin from the winds until they passed by. He retaliated by flicking his index finger towards Ryu and at his silent command no fewer than seven of the tendrils shot forward whipping and snapping in different directions. Another lightning wall might catch a few of them he thought, but with that many from so many angles it'd be impossible to catch all of them with that trick. Yawgmoth's eyes kept focus to see what his foe would do this time. If even one tendril ensnared him, just as before he'd be in real trouble.  

[Kumouri-kun]

Ryu did take note of Yawgmoth's phantom like trick and kept it in mind as the tendrils came in. This time his Halbert took on the form of lightening in his hand as he spun it about, dodging and slicing the tendrils with his blade of lightening, leaving mere stubs. He then took up a ready stance waiting for Yawgmoths next assault.  

[Lord Yawgmoth]

The stubs of tendrils squelched and writhed for a moment before sprouting anew. They were shadow and darkness given solid form by his power. Cutting them up indeed stopped them from lashing out but wouldn't deter them forever. Realizing this could quite literally go on all day Yawgmoth decided to go on the offensive. The circle of shadows and tendrils around him shrank back into a normal shaped silhouette of his body cast by the light around them.

The Lord of the Wastes channeled his dark power into his left palm and thrust it forward a sharp spinning blackened orb rocketed towards his foe. A projectile of dark energy and something less tangible than the tendrils. As with all of his shadow based attacks, touching it or letting it careen into him would be very bad. This time though, noting the use of lightning energy, Yawgmoth had a litte surprise if he tried to cut it down or block it with the same tools he'd already shown.  

[Mistress Crow Darkstryde]

The seductress watched the men volley back and forth, She had been counting on some violence all ready. Rolling her eyes, she snaps out. For the love of Crow, this is ******** putting Us to sleep. We get better entertainment torturing that c**t sister of Ours. She paces between them well outside the line of fire. Is this blood sport or foreplay?  

[Kumouri-kun]

Ryu dodged the spikey projectile with ease, and taking note of Crows complaint decided it was time for something more personal. He springs from his new position and like a rocket himself came in quick, his Lightening blade a whirling circle of deadly energy. He was making this a close quarters game now.
