Tales of 552 (Speed Event)

Lexington stood in the middle of the coliseum, just taking in his surroundings. He loved the feel of having a crowd around, putting on a show was always fun. He crossed his arms and straightened out his toga, he brought his left hand up to make sure his wreath was sittin pretty on his ears. On his left hip was a jagged dagger made of gold and on his right hip was another dagger that was convex and made of layered carbon.

    Victorious. Hemera let out a deep breath and straightened herself up to embrace the cries of the onlookers. As the announcer began to speak, she tested out her body. Moving her left arm then right, she noted an ache creeping up the left side of her back into her shoulder. She could feel a slight cut stinging along her right calf. It wasn't anything that couldn't be fixed though. Those battles had been quite rough, but it had been what she had expected. Her training was paying off and this moment only solidified that fact. Then the announcer called out that there was another feat to behold...it seemed the job wasn't done. She could practically feel the others in the group bracing themselves for what was to come.

    Three names were called. Cless Alvein. Lloyd Irving. Tear Grants. They came out together, confident. They held their weapons with ease as they waved to the spectators. Hemera adjusted her longbow in her grasp and prepared herself. The newcomers looked strong. But the question was, how well would the group behind her hold up against three people?

Kazuya stood in the middle of the arena, both his hands hovering over the hilts of his twin katanas fastened to his back, his black duster jacket left unzipped, exposing his upper body, though the red headband tied around his forehead pushed his front hair upwards, his eyes were still barely visible. It seemed the Coliseum had one last surprise for him and his allies, as three challengers stepped out to face them. He was going to give the audience an exhibition match they would not soon forget.

Asch just got the best view possible--he'd weaseled his way to the front and boy was the arena a pretty sight for sore eyes. Well there was nothing wrong with Asch's eyes, in fact, they were quite young and beautiful, but that's not the point. Next thing he knew--WHAM! Someone had shoved him from behind and he found himself being flipped over the railing and falling into the Arena. He quickly stood to his feet again--not wanting to look bad in front of such a huge crowd--and held up a fist to the group of people who'd been behind him. He didn't know exactly who'd done it, but, "Oi! YOU WANNA FIGHT ME OR SOMETHIN' HUH?!"



He would stop, looking around before regaining his composure. No. Right. Of course he was supposed to be here, fighting the champions. Totally. Pretending that he knew what he was doing, the boy would turn around and place his hands on his hips, only to be met with the fateful view of a wave of pure energy shooting toward him. "SHIT!" He exclaimed, running to the side as quickly as he could so as to avoid being hit. He'd draw his sword and look over to the girl who also seemed to be fighting against the champion Cless. Hemera seemed pretty calm and not to mention tough, Asch was pretty glad to be stuck with her of all people. Even if he'd been trying to avoid the fight, but eh, he didn't really have any choice and so long as he didn't die he was fine with getting a few cuts and bruises. This wasn't going to be a battle to the death, was it?



Oh boy. Well just in case, he'd better be ready to fight like his life depended on it. The issue right now was coming up with a plan. Unless he wanted to just blindly rush in and swinging his sword. He was fine with that, too, if that's what it came down to.

Lexington rolled to the left in order to dodge the incoming wave. He charged forward with the carbon curved dagger in his left hand facing the rear so every punch would add slash damage and the jagged golden dagger in a standard position in his right hand. When he was within range, the warrior attempted to strike a left hook to Lloyd's chest and held the gold dagger firm in case he needed to parry

Asch managing to avoid the energy wave sent his way by Cless, Hemera would not be so fortunate, and would end up being hit by it. Luckily, the attack was only a base arte, so Hemera would not take too much damage. Cless would then jump up into the air and thrust down towards Asch with a fiery, blazing wave, aiming to strike downward at him with a crimson blade.

Macht managing to counterattack the energy wave sent his way from Lloyd, as he stepped forward and lunged at Lloyd to punch at the young warrior's waist with both hands, Lloyd would bring one blade up to defend against the strike, though he would end up taking the left hook from Lexington, who had managed to avoid the second energy wave sent at him, which would strike Lloyd at the side of his chest, as opposed to dead center. Though he ended up taking damage, recovering from the strikes, with both his opponents in front of him, Lloyd would slash his blades upward and then downward with enough force to hopefully slam both Macht and Lexington to the ground.

As her eyes were closed, Tear was unable to see the wave of energy sent at her, and it would slam into her, disrupting her casting and causing her to lose focus. As Kazuya came towards her however, she would quickly strafe around the arena, and as soon as he was within range, she would leap into the air and throw down three knives in a triangle formation, aiming to create a field of light that would rapidly hit Kazuya if he was caught within.

As Kazuya charged towards Tear while she strafed around the arena, to put some distance between her and him, as he saw her leap up into the air, he would dodge roll to the side, just barely managing to land outside of the perimeter of the triangle, as the field of light would rise up just to the right of his right arm, illuminating his face. He didn't want to think about what would happen if he didn't manage to escape the area of effect. Pushing off with his back foot, Kazuya would charge towards Tear, before proceeding to try and slam her with extreme force (ehehe), creating a blast of energy in the image of a lion's head, and if it connected, force her to be blasted away and knocked to the ground, after which, he would dash at her and proceed to launch a flurry of sword swings, his blades dancing with fire with each swing.
