Ultimate Fighters: The First Tournament

Ice chuckled and replied, "Sorry to disappoint you, but only hellfire can melt my ice. So, unless your Satan, or a demon, you're out of luck." Ice had then froze his legs and dashed toward Grace at light-speed, absorbing his swords so as not to kill her accidentally, and delivered another blow to her face, followed by three more to her stomach, and finished with a devastating roundhouse kick to her chest. "Keep trying, you might just find a way to strike me; many people have before, so it shouldn't be too difficult."

As the final kick went for her chest, she regenrated her health at an amazing speed. With her hands she stopped the kick with her left, free hand and pulled Ice forth, towards her. She met his head with hers in a powerful smash. She swung her sword behind him with her right hand, by his feet and had him fall back as a cooperation between the smash of her head and the pull with her sword. As he fell, she climbed on top of him and as he landed on the ground- she landed on him.

The same web that saved her from smashing into the wall covering Ice with a grasp by his chest- to make sure he was not leaving, as she leapt upwards. She spun in the air and went back down with knee first, landing with it straight at his crotch. She made a backflip and landed back up on her feet in a defensive stance, removing the web.
"You talk too much"

Ice took most of the hits but protected his crotch with another ice cap once again. Once she removed the web, he chuckled and replied, "And you hit like a girl." Ice got into a combat stance and thought to himself, "She's taking my attacks like they're nothing...I wonder...does she have a Justice power inside her as well. And is she using it during this fight? Now, that's just cheating. But, if that's the way she wants to play it..." Ice suddenly began glowing white as well. He didn't have any injuries due to the fact that his blood and most of his internal organs were frozen, but if this woman was fighting him with a similar power, then it would only be fair to fight at an equal level. "And another thing...I was going easy on you." Ice said before dashing at her. All of the ice he had used before this point was now absorbed into him, and now he was moving much, much faster than before. He dashed up to her and struck her from behind. And when he did so, his higher level of power allowied him to cause at least 10 times more damage than normal. As she flew through the air, he dashed up to her once again, but instead of attacking her to the front, he attacked to her right with another amazing roundhouse kick, strong enough to even break his own ice; it was nearly invulnerable, not completely.

With her still flying through the air, he wasn't done yet as he rushed up to her, grabbed her face, still running with incredible speed, and slammed her into the arena wall, hoping that he didn't just kill her.

Grace gasped for air, holding her left hand over her chest as she stood on her knees. She had made quite the hard impact into the wall and it was noticable even on her armor. The entire back side of her plate had been totaly crashed inwards and the sword had fallen out of her hands upon the impact. She gazed it, which laid a couple of meters ahead. She was not used to fight with care, but the rules limited her from killing. This, however was slowly getting personal- because this Ice character was not caring about her life much.
The impact against the wall would have killed any normal person
The thoughts passed her mind, and what felt like minutes of thinking had only been seconds. She extended her hand and with a good amount of speed, her sword came flying towards her and right into her right hand. She grasped it hard and her skin turned golden, almost divine. She held her chest as she got up, and as she stood straight she removed the hand and simply clenched her fist.

The impact would indeed have killed any normal person, but Grace was not normal. Now it was time to prove it. She grasped her sword and simply to show that she was still fit to fight, she spun once in a circle with her sword pointing out. The slash cut trough the arena wall in the spinn and as she had spun a fair 360 degree's, she ran the sword into the ground. The heat that had covered the arena was absorbed and you could see how it went into her blade. The heat continued as a focused form of light trough the edge of the sword, trough the handle, up her hand and for a moment, stopping by her heart. The heat went into her body and as she raised her head, her eyes now glew yellow.

"The wrath of the seven heavens will smite upon you"
All these actions had been done in matter of seconds, and as she charged herself with the powers of heaven she once more had refueled her health by absorbing the heat in a healing manner. With the speed of light, Grace stood only a half meter away from Ice. She smashed her head into his, knocking him a tad bit of balance. She then grabbed him by his vest with her left hand, spun a circle and threw him upwards in the air. Using the angelic blessings that had been given to the paladin order, in the speed of light she even traveled upwards. As he was thrown upwards in the air, she was there to meet him- and with a smash by the handle of her blade, Ice was thrown down into the ground with great force and a mighty thud.

With wings of light, she hoovered up in the air of the arena. She waited patiently for the cloud of dust to disappear- the cloud that had appeared as he made impact in the ground.
She remember that move from before. She used it against the guardian of the paladin order. but even though the guardian broke a number of limbs, she imagined it would not be quite as easy with this Ice guy.
She flew above the location of impact, waiting patiently to gain sight of the ice warrior.

When the dust of the impact had cleared, Ice wasn't there. Instead, he was right behind Grace, and had stopped glowing now. He froze two of his fingers and pressed on her spine. The pressure he was giving was just enough to paralyze her for as long as he held his fingers there but not enough to do any major damage.

"I thought using my Justice power would've allowed us to fight at equal levels of power. Clearly I was wrong, you appeared to be just barely clinging onto life back there. Not to mention your Wrath of the Seven Heavens attack didn't do a whole lot of damage, but that was mainly due to the defense aura that the Justice power provides. So...now that I know you can't handle my full extent, I'm not going to use the Justice power for the rest of this fight." Ice removed his fingers from her back, giving her mobility once more, and prepared himself for another one of her attacks.

"Can not handle? I have barely started"
'And not until now am I warmed up'
A golden sphere surrounded Grace as she clenched her fists and as she closed her eyes, it expanded with great speed. Ice was launched backwards and the sphere left Grace, catching up with Ice and captured him inside it. The sphere got him inside as if it was made of air, but from the inside it was more solid than pure stone. Grace swiped with her left hand and the sphere, having Ice inside smashed into the wall. While the sphere went right trough the wall in an etheral way, Ice on the inside went straight into the wall with a smash. As the sphere went inside, Ice fell downards and the sphere came out again from the wall, crashing down towards him with high force- going to push him against the ground.

Grace disabled her wings and went to the ground. She were at the same time controling the sphere with her left hand, holding her sword ready in her right hand, in case once more Ice was going to try surprise her.

As he was heading downward, Ice encase the interior of the sphere with Ice, and tried controling it. However, he was only able to slow it down, causing the sphere to land on the ground softly. He looked around, trying to find a way out, but there was none. If he had left some ice out of the sphere, he'd be able to escape easily, but he didn't. "This is not good. Ok...focus. Remember what you were taught. We don't create a substance. We focus on the spot we want to freeze." Ice focused on the wall to his left outside of the sphere and a sheet of Ice was created very quickly. Ice chuckled and slowly fell through the ice underneath him and came out of the newly frozen spot on the wall. Ice chuckled before freezing his entire body. The reflections from this gave him the effect of invisibility, as if he was wearing a high-tech cloaking device. Ice charged at her, still somewhat invisible, his outline just being visible at close range, just before his attacks. First to her right, then her front, back, left, front again, he was attacking her randomly, making sure that she wouldn't find him. Each attack was devestating, due to his superior control over one element.

((ill have to end this soon...1 more post for each character and ill decide the winner 😄))

Grace roared, having a bright flash explode around her. Ice was moving too quickly for her hand to grab, but not quickly enough to dodge a concentrated globe blast. A golden circle around her was formed and expanded with high speed, launching Ice inevitably to the wall with a crash. While he was disoriented, yet not have had the chance to impact the ground- she appeared in front of him with a flash and grabbed him by his hair.
She pulled and threw him upwards with great force. Before he was going to make impact into the roof, she appeared above him and with a spinkick she smashed him into the wall while he was still flying. Knocked into the wall with a crackle, he bounced back outwards and again with a flash, Grace appeared in front of him. She had never before had to use her powers to such an extent that she had to move in light speed so much.
It was straining for her, but her adrenaline kept her going.
As he had bounced back out, she grabbed his face with her free hand and with a spinn she ran him with the back of his head into the wall, having the handle of her sword smash him over his chest. She took a grip by the wall and kicked of, letting him fall downwards as she made a backflip, landing on her feet on the ground in a defensive position.

((just so you know, its an open arena, there's no roof 😛))

((Good thing I did not have him hit it, then 😛))

Ice's invisibility was being caused by the reflections of the ice surrounding him. And so, he took each and every hit receiving no damage for he was protected by his ice. He recovered from her last attack and landed on his feet as well and stood up. He did not have a scratch on him and wasn't even out of breath. He absorbed the ice around him, showing that he didn't suffer any damage. He looked at Grace and said to her, "M'amm, if that's the best you've got then you don't stand a chance." Ice dashed over to her without freezing his legs. He was incredibly fast, even without using his justice power or his ice. Unfortunately, his speed was just slow enough to leave a trail of dust where he went, but he was still too fast to be seen by normal eyes.

He dashed up to her and, very quickly, jabbed her body's vulnerable points, the spots where she'd feel the most pain, even with her incredible power protecting her. After this, while she was reacting to the sudden pain, he put one of his legs behind both of her's, and did a palm-thrust to her face, forcing her to stumble back and trip over him. He had then spun around, made an Ice sword, caught her with his free hand and held the sword's point to her spine. "If this wasn't a tournament...you'd be dead, really fast." He had then absorbed his sword and said, "Lucky for you." He had then spun around behind her and pushed her back on her feet. At that instant, the sound indicating that their time was up had come. Ice looked to the referee and waited for his judgement on who really won the fight.

"The timer has expired! and the winner is............ICE!..will both contestants make their way back to the lounge, as i have an announcemnt to make to all fighters"

"sorry for keeping our patient audeince waiting" the ref said over the mike..he had an amazing charismatic voice..as soon as he starting talking the angry crowd immediately calmed down, stunned by the flattery and goodnaturedness
"a special round has been decided..the winner of this fight will be moved straight to the final round!!" this got thunderous applause.."the loser will be dropped from the winner's divsion to the losing division...the combatants....are NIGHTMARE AND RAYDEN!!"
The sound of rayden's name instantly changed the applause to wild booing and hissing...it was clear that, because of rayden's unexpected victory, he was not liked..

Rayden's eyes widened in slight surprise, but he nodded an affirmative and walked to the ring with his eyes on the floor. Straight to the final round.. this was an opportunity that he could not afford to miss. This fight would be a tough one, though.On his way up the steps he spotted one of the gangs henchman nodding at him with a grin. The bastard.

Rayden walked to one of the corners of the room and took a deep breath, then exhaled, letting all of the pressure and anxiety flow out of him while waiting for his opponent.

))How will this be done? Will we be fighting Ultimate Hero style were we basically beat the crap out of each other and no one ever dodges or blocks? ((

Nightmare grasped his sword. He did not want to make it to the final round. He wanted to fight as many as possible, but he accepted the fight, since rules are rules and he signed up. He shook his head as he had the sword placed over his shoulder and walked into the arena. He stared right ahead, at Rayden who stood ready, waiting for the fight.

Nightmare's eyes flashed red for a second, showing his readiness. He grabbed his sword tight and he swung it in a circle above him, with mighty force and speed. After having made a couple of circles, he pulled it down and smashed it into the ground hard, making it penetrate the hard floor a fair meter.
He raised his mutated arm towards Rayden with a roar:
"YOU SHALL BECOME MY NOURISHMENT!"
He pulled the sword out in a mighty pull, directing it towards Rayden:
"THERE IS NO END TO THIS NIGHTMARE! STRUGGLE, FOOL!"

"AND........FIGHT!"

Rayden closed his eyes, and when they reopened they were a bright white, all traces of his blue pupils gone.

Rayden took another deep breath and entered his fighting stance, then waited for his intimidating opponent to make the first move.

*cough*
