Round 2; Ikezu vs Girken

[Deleted]

Not long after the two contestants are given a chance to see who they would be fighting in the second round of the tournament the arena would instantly telaport them to there battlefield.

As the two appeared within the battlefield the arena would simultaneously create the battlefield for them, the two warriors would find themselves deep within a dark cave system, there is enough light coming off of various glowing mushrooms scattered about the cave to allow the warriors to see one another but several openings in the cave system seem to simply lead into pitch darkness. Stalagmites and stalactites little the general are of the large cavern that Ikezu and Girken were transported to and the entire cave is rather cold and damp.

Begin!

(You can split your posts up or make one bit one if you want Ikezu, this entire fight and if you win is up to you. Unlike the other fights your only deadline is that you've got until a week after the last fight is finished to do something here lol If you think you'll need more time contact one of us staff members.)

(Thanks Ryota ^^)

Ikezu had but a moment to look at the board before being transported to his arena, but something was wrong, he couldn't see his arena. He looked around, and after a moment of pure darkness his eyes focused in on a blue light. Then another blue light, and another one. He was in a black cave, filled with these... these stars. No, not stars; mushrooms? He looked forward and spotted his adversary who also seemed to be adapting to the new dark area. He was a saiyan, bald with a bushy salt and pepper beard. His face scarred, and his body even more so. He had been in a lot of battles, and he looked as though he had lost some big ones.

"Alright boy-o. What do you say we start this little contest? Judging from your current power level, I doubt you'll do much but scratch me, so I'll let you have the first move lad. Names Girken by the way." The saiyan said, focusing in on the young animal in front of him. It was strange for Ikezu not to be referred to as beast or some other derogatory term. It took him aback.

"Ikezu... uh... nice to meet you." He replied cracking his knuckles.

The cold breeze blew on his warm coat, it felt nice. Pleasant, even.

As if blown by the wind, Ikezu was gone from his spot rushing his adversary. Claws flickering in the blue light, he swiped at Girken’s face, only to watch him dodge in slow motion ducking underneath the attack as if he had seen it coming from miles away. His right hand rose up from his hip, digging into Ikezu’s stomach. Ikezu could feel the hand fondling his innards. Ikezu grabbed the hand with his claws, and swung his feet into Girken’s face knocking the two away from each other.

“That was a good punch.”

“I know. That was a good kick.”

“I know.”

After a quick chuckle the two were at it again, launching another attack. This time it was Girken that started, he moved so quickly Ikezu couldn’t follow him, when Girken appeared in front of him in a crouching position, rising up with a hook to the gut, Ikezu had just enough time to move forward dodging the hook but catching a knee that he didn’t see coming right to the ribs. It didn’t feel like it was meant to do damage, but it hurt like a horse.

“Damn your strong.” Getting up off of the ground, covering his ribs.

“I know.”

“And fast.”

“Yes… that too.” Girken grinned.

“I’m gonna have to go all out against you.”

“Be my guest. Nothing you do can save you, you lost the moment they matched us together boy-o.”

“If you say so, forgive me for not agreeing with you. I haven’t lost yet.”

“You have boy-o. You have, you just don’t know it yet.” Girken smirked and crossed his hands.

Ikezu looked at him, and smiled. Those two attacks had triggered his transformation, and one more from this man and he would surely begin to lose control. Ikezu burst forward as if to attack Girken from the front, and as soon as he made it to him he made a quick right blasting his enemy in the face with a ki blast.

Girken ducked backwards to escape a fake hook, and when the ki blast came instead he fell off balance and fell over from the blast. As he fell, Ikezu flanked his right, and kicked him square in the neck using his all of his strength and momentum to throw his leg into his enemies throat.

Girken slammed into the ground and bounced before staying there. A moment passed and he rose from the ground unscathed, as Ikezu jumped backwards taking a fighting stance.

“You’re feisty.”

“So I’ve been told.”

“What are you anyways? I haven’t faced one of your kind before.”

“Inaurian, the last one.”

“Last one you say? Pity. Well, let's see what you Inaurians are capable of.”

Ikezu nodded, and Girken rushed again. This time appearing behind Ikezu kicking his legs out from underneath him, and pushing him down to the ground with an axe kick. Keeping his foot on his chest, Girken laughed.

“Hehehe, so when are you going to go all out?”

“Now!” Ikezu roared and the transformation began, taking Girken aback. This time it was he who jumped back to a safe distance, though he was more intrigued at the moment than afraid.

I bumped it up since the npc won it's fight and would have otherwise wouldn't have been much of anything against any of the current competitors.

The fire boiled in Ikezu’s veins, taking over his body. His eyes narrowed into bloodthirsty slits, glaring at his new prey. His fur bristled in the cold breeze blowing through the caverns, whistling as it past the stalactites and stalactites which opened like a mouth ready to swallow its next victim. The retching pain crumpled his body in two as his muscles grew larger, his claws grew sharper, and his teeth grew longer. His appearance became fearsome, as had his power level. The ground beneath him cracked from the pressure of his power, which was much greater than it was in his previous fight. Ikezu liked it, it felt good for him to let go.

Girken watched in awe as his opponent’s power level grew, and as this transformation took place. His howls of pain echoed from the walls of the cavern, giving the illusion of coming from all directions at once. Girken’s smirk was wiped from his face.

“It’s still rising? You’ve already outstripped me by miles, and you keep going.” He said smiling wider and wider with ever leap. Finally it stopped and the anticipation took hold.

“Yes. Yes, you are the one who will give me what I’ve been looking for so many years. A challenge!”

Fight was on, and it was about to get intense.

Ikezu vanished from midair, appearing at Girken’s left side, just as magically as Girken had appeared on Ikezu’s back. As soon as he stopped, his knee had already hit its mark, Girken’s stomach. The air escaped Girken, as a wave of force exploded from the point of impact, made purely by the speed of the attack. As soon as the knee hit, Ikezu’s hand grabbed Girken’s throat and slammed him into the ground, his free hand simultaneously creating a ki ball, which he unleashed point blank into Girken’s face.

Girken couldn’t do anything to stop the onslaught except watch as his life flashed by his eyes, just as quickly as Ikezu. However as Ikezu brought his ki ball down onto Girken’s face, he kicked upwards forcing Ikezu upwards and the ki ball into the ground above his head. With that, he rolled backwards flying away as he charged an energy wave in his right hand, as he stopped he threw his hands forward and a beam of blue energy rushed from his hand at amazing speeds. Ikezu kept his ground, and simply swatted the beam away, down a tunnel which led outside to more darkness. The beam illuminated the walls of the cavern, but not much else.

In the moment that the beam was deflected Ikezu was already on the move, this time flanking Girken’s right and sweeping his legs with a round house kick, using the momentum to kick straight downwards with another roundhouse to the gut, which Girken caught swinging Ikezu over him and throwing him away, and charging a ball in both hands before throwing it at Ikezu.

Ikezu saw the ball and used his ki to launch himself downwards mid-flight.

“CLUSTER BOMB!”

“Cluster wha-“

And before Ikezu could finish his sentence the ball exploded and a rain of mini ki pellets rained down on him, rattling his body with what felt to him like bug bites. Which only angered him more, the now angered Ikezu rushed Girken again, this time using his momentum and all his strength to punch the old man in the stomach, and uppercut him in the face. He then spun fast to his right with a tornado kick to his face, catching his leg and pulling him back into a strong right hook to the head knocking him down to the ground. As he flew down Ikezu rushed downwards using his ki to boost his speed and intercepted the falling Saiyan with a spinning rising uppercut to the gut roaring “SHORYUKEN!”

Ikezu could feel the Saiyan’s guts wrap around his fist as he rose upwards, followed by the Saiyan’s spine. Girken was blasted upwards hitting the ceiling and fell back towards Ikezu charging two ki balls which he hurled away from himself, and then another one straight down.

“RAZER BLADE CLUSTER BOMB!” He yelled, closing his hands towards Ikezu as each of the three energy balls exploded into hundreds of of mini destructo discs which cut through the cavern. Ikezu ducked, dodged, and contorted his way through three waves of discs, suffering cuts but nothing too serious.

Ikezu retorted by charging an energy ball in between his hands, which split into two gloves.

“HehehehehahahahahahahahAHAHAHAHA!!”

The beast vanished yet again, this time appearing underneath Girken with another super fast rising uppercut to the Saiyan’s chin. Ikezu’s fist seemed to explode on impact as the ki glove blew up right at the point of impact, blowing Girken away and hitting with such force that it would decapitate any normal man (Good thing the Saiyan isn’t normal). Ikezu flashed around and punched the Saiyan in the middle of the spine with his second glove, the Saiyan flipped backwards at the last second turning over Ikezu’s glowing hand and kicking the beast in the back of the head as he did so.

Girken cracked his neck and jaw a couple times before smiling with blood dripping from his mouth.

“Excellent! Excellent, nobody has ever survived my Razor Blade Cluster Bomb, until now. ”

“Hehe… I’m glad to see you’re enjoying the fight.” Ikezu growled, “But soon, I’m going to end you. Any last words.”

“Yes just one. What’s your drive? What makes you want to win so much?”

“I have to get stronger, so I can kill him. Kill the man who destroyed my home, the man who took everything from me.” Ikezu’s eyes flickered, as if his conscious had briefly peeked outwards from the eyes of a killer.

“Revenge, how typical. Good luck with that boy-o.” The Saiyan smirked and closed his fists.

[tsukare]

The saiyan dashed around Ikezu fast enough to be missed by a normal entity would have missed. Ikezu's increased perception however made it possible to follow him, and as he got behind him, Ikezu ducked under a roundhouse kick and turned with an open handed claw swipe to the throat. As soon as his hand made contact Ikezu would grab tightly, and charge a ki ball in his free hand.

Once fully charged and dispite the saiyan's constant struggles, he would blast the old warrior in the chest sending him flying, and ripping open his throat.

With his increased strength and speed he'd break off a stalagtite and throw it like a spear through the Saiyan's stomach, trapping him to the wall.

Once trapped he charged a ki ball between his hands, the strongest he could make, and hurled it at him full speed. On impact the ball would explode, however by that time the fight would be called, and the saiyan would disappear before being obliterated.

"wh- what speed! You'll go far boy-o."

Ikezu was the winner, and he celibrated with a loud roar as he powered down. His muscles receeding, he claws shortening, and his body shrinking down to normal.

*sigh*
