Nightmare pulled his sword, putting it in front of him. The blade was large enough to function as a shield, and Nightmare crounched with the sword in front of him. He observed Lex from across the field. He planned on starting out defensive, to fool his opponent. Nightmare was no defensive person. His martial art as good as forbidded that. However, acting defensive could give his opponent an entirely different idea of the fighting style Nightmare had.

[Lex watched as Nightmare toke a defensive stance with hid huge sword in front of him. Lex would usely attack up close but that was not the best idea do to nightmare size atleast that was what his brian was telling him.Lex started to think to himself"I will test the waters and see what he does." Lex then charged his right hand with kinetic Energy and shot it at Nightmare. As the shot fired Lex fallowed up with a second blast.]
Nightmare ran the sword deep into the ground, making it steady. He cowered behind it, as both blasts were resisted by the indestructable sword. A grin crossed his face as he got up quickly, pulling the sword out of the ground with one hand, afterwards gripping it with both. He took a deep breath, starting to run in the direction of Lex. He took relaxed deep breaths, maintaining calm, in order to be able to parry other incoming blasts. The ground beneath Nightmare quaked from his weight as he approached Lex.

[Lex charge his both his hands with kinetic energy and shot them both at Nightmares feet then shot another at his face. Lex was toke a few steps back just in case and started to charge both his hands with kinetic energy again.]"I going to win this!Nightmare you better give up now!"
Nightmare smashed the first incoming bolt with his sword like it was a game of baseball. The second one he evaded in the same motion as he smashed the first one, and as the third one came he threw himself onto the ground, sliding foward. Too much happened at once, making Nightmare incapable of replying the man with words. He ran the sword into the ground when he slid foward, making him leap up like it was a game of pole vault. Once landing on both feets steady again, he screamed.
"YOUR SOUL BELONG TO ME!"
And with one motion, pulling the sword out of the ground, swinging it in a half moon, smashing into the ground in front of him. The impact in the ground made the area in front of Nightmare (Where Lex is standing) quake heavily.
"Blindfolded attacks will not get you far, Alexander" He whispered, grinning.
[Lex had been working on this attack for a long time and now was good as time as any to use it.The energy Lex had been charging Was at the limits so Lex put his arms out like he was going to shot a full powered blast but nothing came out instead his arms started to glow red.Lex then started to think to himself.]"OK I got around 90 seconds to pound him into the ground better get it right."[Lex then ran at Nightmare and as Nightmare became in range Lex started to throw a fury as Super strong super fast punches.]
"SOULS! GIVE ME STRENGTH!" Nightmare cried out, being entirely engulfed in green flames. It was a special power he activated by using previous consumed souls. The power he had recieved made him unable of being interrupted by mere punches, as he gripped Lex by the shirt, pulling him close. His punches hurt, and they hurt a lot, but thanks to his temporarily enchantment, Nightmare could carry on like nothing. Lifting him higher up in the air, the kid still defending himself with strong and fast punches, Nightmare threw the kid over his head, backwards and out to the center of the field. The distance was probably at least five yards, as Lex crashed into the ground. "You mere mortal do not stand a chance" He said, as the green flames engulfing him disappeared.
[Lex hit the ground hard but must of the pain was absorbed by the energy that was around his arms. Lex slowly gut up and dusted himself off and laughed to show he was OK but really he was losing a lot of stamina doing this attack. Lax had 30 Seconds left and he was going to make it count he once again started running at nightmare but this time he stopped and clapped his hands together making A sonic boom and then after the sonic boom he ran a Nightmare Counting punching at him.]
Nightmare went to meet him, and half way he did. The kid seemed extremely focused in bringing Nightmare down. He almost seemed upstressed by the sole will of knocking Nightmare down. Nigthmare smashed his foot into the ground, making Lex shake a litte bit from the vibrations. Another smash into the ground with his foot, made Lex almost loosing balance entirely. Nightmare recieved several punches, but gripped the man by his shirt close to the neck, throwing him into the ground. This within the amount of ten seconds. He raised his sword, thinking of finishing this at the very instant. He then recalled how one were not allowed to kill another one, and he lost focus. He was as good as stunned, not knowing what to do. Never before did he have to pull back a finishing blow. If he finished Lex here and now, he would be thrown out of the tournament. He came out of focus, forgetting entirely that Lex was beneath him.

[Lex saw that Nightmare had lost focus and this was one of the only opening Lex might have. Lex had 15 seconds left so instead of punching the rest of the time he held up his hands and released the energy that was around his arms as a beam. This sent Nightmare into the air and away from Lex. Lex then got up smoke was coming off his arms and they his shit was singed but he still had power left and this battle is far from over. Lex charged up his hand with a different kind of energy Electromagnetic radiation to be exact. Lex let it go as a wave the went out in all directions covering the whole battle field.]
"I have a endless supply of energy Nightmare you can't beat me"[Lex did not actually have endless energy he just said that as a bluff.]
Nightmare cowered from the lighting, getting struck by some. Slowly, he felt how he weakend. He raised his sword into the air, making it lead the electricity into it in an attempt to absorb it.
"SOULS! COME ONTO ME!" He shouted, as a green bolt of lighting struck his sword. The force of impact was strong enough to almost knock Nightmare of his feet. This time, he decided to improve his speed. "Some have endless supply of energy. Some have gathered souls for more years than your school history book probably can read back to!" Nightmare screamed, thinking of ancient times.
Nightmare charged in the direction of Lex, hurling his sword towards him. He made sure that it was the shaft that were about to hit Lex, and not the blade. He were not allowed to kill him. Nightmare knew that even if the blade missed, Lex could not pick it up. Destiny, God and Satan from beneath have made sure that Nightmare were the only one allowed to carry it. Any other living being would be rejected that right.

[Lex charged up his hands and fired it at the coming sword but it cut though the beam and hit Lex in the stomach knocking him to the ground. Lex spat out the blood from his mouth and gently felt where the sword had hit. The sword must have broken two or three of Lex's ribs. Lex stood up His knees started to shake but he tried to block out the pain and it was working for the most part Lex then charged his hands again and shot it at Nightmare he had no sword to hid e behind and this was a good chance to finish him off.]
In full speed, Nightmare ran straight into the blast that came from Lex. He lost his breath as he was ruthlessly thrown trough the arena and smashed into the wall. "Have a look at that.. It hurts.." Nightmare said, getting up from his sitting position against the wall. It hurt more than Nightmare ever would admit. Nightmare raised with the exact tone of voice and motions as he had before the crash, making him look unharmed. He took a look at his armor, which had broke at minor parts. "Now you've done it!" Nightmare roared as he raised his fist. "Soul Edge, return to me" He whispered, as the sword flew trough the air with a rapid phase. It as good as smashed into his fist and he clenched it, spinning around a 360 degree lap before grabbing it with both hands and putting himself in a combat position.
"Destiny have spoken, Alexander.. Your soul is mine!" He shouted as he splinted towards the boy, holding his sword tight and giving out a sound very simular to growling. As he charged, he threw himself along the ground, sliding with feet first towards Lex, holding his sword on top of him and making it function as a roof or shelter.

[Lex held his hands up he was gathering a lot of his energy and started to charge. He had all the energy he needed this was one of Lex's strongest attacks but it was also one of his most dangerous. The energy that he had been charging was nuclear and it was sure to do some damage. Lex then put his arms in his chest and released all the energy as an explosion that covered the whole arena. Dust and pieces of the arena filled the air and Lex was siting out more and more blood.]
"Please do not get up"[Lex hoping Nightmare had past out or something.]
As the smoke and dust from the devastation of the arena laid onto the ground before turning into nothing but air, there was a hole in the ground which was covered by a thick metal sword. A few seconds passed, as the sword was kicked up from the ground and two arms were placed on top of the hole which pulled Nightmare out of it. "Such a waste of extreme power. If you fought for the same cause as I did, you could have become something. Something extraordinary" Nightmare said, grinning. He watched Lex where he sat on the ground. He gave a grin, sighing at the boy. "I'm sure you wish I were gone. You know, I'm sorry to disappoint you. You should enter the soul tournament sometime. Maybe you too can win an indestructible sword" He said, running his hand along the huge sword, like it was a cat.
"Aaw, look what you did to my plate" Nightmare said, looking at his arms, where the plate armor was almost entirely melted away. The warm metal pressed against his body, but it was childsplay to ignore it. A lot of other things crossed his mind instead.
He climbed out of the whole entirely, watching Alexander. He felt pity, for the first time in years, he felt pity. He was not allowed to kill anyone, but Nightmare believed that sometimes death were a salvation instead of a punishment. The kid gave full force in the attack. Nightmare could not imagine the thoughts that would cross his mind if he did, and such a failure faced him.
He paused his thinking in that direction for a moment, thinking back at the actual attack. His mind could not either imagine the way he himself would look if he did not use Soul Edge as a roof.
"Alexander Warfield. I will remember you as a true warrior. Few have made such a strife against me and almost prevailed" He paused "Well, except for that be-cursed knight" He thought back into the past. "SOULS! AID ME NOW!" He cried out loud, as dust from the ground turned into a green fluid and ran into his body from the feet and up. "Are you ready to see the end, Alexander?" Nightmare spoke, increasing his physical strength by using some of the souls he had consumed in the past.
Jacope X: Well.....this is it.....Thanks guys
::JAcope X walks into the stadium entrance as millions of people go very insane for this man. He was pretty famous as the Elder god's chosen hero. He was not going to give up now. He was ready. He walks into the center of the stage looking around the millions of people, feeling so nervous and feeling the sweat all over him. The feeling also had his heart pumping as well. He then turns around ready to see his opponent. He breathes in and out. He people were chanting Both Lauren and Jacope X's name. He was proud that these people appreciated for all he done.::
(Ha! Almost forgot about this 😛)
Lauren was nervous, but, why should she be? It wasn't like she was going to fight. Her heart was beating faster and faster as she stepped on the stage. She took in a deep breath and let it out slowly.
'Alright, you can come on out.' she thought. She pictured two people in her mind, one was dressed in white, the other was in black.
'It's about time.' the girl in black spoke.
Lauren chanted something, and in an instant, she was engulfed in black flames. When the flames died down, a slightly older version of Lauren was left, except, she now had black wings and a black sword.
Hoping to intimidate her opponent, she smirked evilly. She was completely different from the girl before.
