[..Brandon Potter versus Basna..]

[brandon007]

Brandon braced himself for the energy wave, as it hit dead on, but he pushed himself through it as he brought his gun back up to his sight. He saw the Giant Namekian was floating above his ice trap but the Namekian's attempt to stop Brandon from flying up was useless, since Brandon never could fly to begin with.

But with one hand in use to cover the right eye, and the other extended out, brandon took the chance to lock onto the Namekian's left eye, and fired another quick shot. Hoping that his attack would hit, Brandon didnt have alot of energy left to make the fight continue for a much longer time, but he hoped that he had enough to make the Officials see Basna's eyes were damaged to the point where he was deemed unfit to battle.

The energy wave was successful and more steam rose into the air as the ground crumbled beneath Brandon’s feet. Basna was still holding onto his right eye and glared down at his opponent in disdain. His face was flustered and twitched slightly from the sharp and uncomfortable pain in his eye. His antennae flicked. The moment his adversary aimed his weapon once again, Basna was alert. “That’s not working a second time…” he murmured to himself.

Soon, another energy shot out of the gun. Basna used his already extended hand and carelessly slapped the beam aside, almost taking a poor civilian with him. His hand was burned upon impact. He clenched his fist tightly and grits his teeth. His brows furrowed together as he continued to glare down at his opponent with his puckered face. His body began to grow larger, reaching now ten times his normal size. His anger was starting to take control as he charged a buzzing orb in his free hand. An attack Brandon had already experienced, this time, much bigger.

Basna slowly descended onto the ring but he didn’t touch the ground. Instead, he bent over just a few feet above and extended his hand down. The giant orb would then burst into a widespread attack that would engulf nearly half of the arena. It would be pretty hard for Brandon to evade such a wide attack without going out of the ring. Basna had grown tired of their battle, so he aimed to finish it here and now with one final attack. –It might have been unfair, but sadly, his transformation was unfair.

He smirked, “You’re pretty good.” And moments later his Energy Burst attack roared and raged on the frozen landscape. He had provided a light show for the audience to see how brilliant his power was. After this, there might not even be an arena to stand on.

[brandon007]

Brandon watched as the Namekian grew even larger, nearly 60 feet tall. "Heh, Bigger Ego as well." He said, as he watched the giant opponent begin to launch a powerful attack that might finish the match, but Brandon knew better then to stay in one place. He aimed his gun right behind him, as well as a Blue energy shot.

He unleashed the two two attacks at once just as Basna's attack was launched. The force of his two attacks pushed Brandon right towards Basna, allowing him to narrowly avoid the near fatal attack.

He came to a stop right under Basna, as he grinned. "Perfect!" He said, as his Gun reconfigured slowly into its Shotgun configuration as an Energy blade formed on his free hand, as he attempted to slash at the back of Basna's foot, hopefully his 'Achilles Heel'.

[Deleted]

Basna had unleashed his Energy Burst attack, only to find his target flying away to the opposite end of the field. “Damn it!” he murmured. Brandon just didn’t know when to quit. Meanwhile, the arena below them was decimated and rendered to nearly nothingness. The audience was petrified by the display of light and fireworks, watching idly from their seats. They were saiyans though, they should be accustomed to these types of things, no?

The giant namekian glanced back at his adversary whom was now wielding some kind of technique. Just as Brandon was about to hack and slash, benighted to the attack’s properties, Basna flicked his foot forward and rammed it into Brandon before he could complete the thrust. The size of his foot would very well overtake his opponent’s entire body, but the focus was around the man’s thorax.

[brandon007]

"Oof!" Brandon said, as the foot made contact with him. He started to bleed more black blood from his nose and mouth, but surprisingly, he clung onto Basna's foot as best as he could with his energy sword hand.

When the Namekian's foot would stop moving, Brandon would use that time to attempt to slice into his Ankle. If he were to be successful, Brandon would make sure to do as much damage to the Namekian's Ankle, hopefully disable Basna before he was killed. "I-Im not going down that easily!"

[Deleted]

Basna’s deep voice roared when he felt something slash through his ankles. The sharp pain spread all over his leg and purple blood spattered all over the place. He jerked his body around to face the odd human who was now defenselessly falling back to the ground by the increased gravity of Vegeta. He grits his teeth and snarled at him in disdain. “You think that’s going to stop me?” he asked rhetorically.

He finally let go of his right eye, slightly opening it to see as his fist clenched tightly and he swung at the falling man like a baseball. It would take time, but his leg would heal before his next match. It was one of the feats that came with being namekian.

[brandon007]

Brandon suspected that something like this would happen, and knew just what to do to gain the needed edge to win this match. He aimed his shotgun weapon downards, and fired it twice, slowing his fall for a short time, allowing the Giant Namek's fist to swish by underneath him, barely touching him as Brandon would grab onto the swinging fist.

Holding on for dear life with one hand, Brandon used his other to prop his shotgun up on the Namek's arm, and smirked. The end of the shotgun weapon was aimed right at the lower half, and the neck of the Namekian.

"Well, Yippie-Ki-Yay MotherFucker!" He said as he smirked, and pulled/held the trigger. The weapon charged up Brandons energy inside of it, and Brandon released the trigger, letting the weapon unleash hell right at the Namekian's face/neck.

[Deleted]

Basna glared, his face puckered and his antennae twitched. His mind was focused at the tip of the man’s weapon, which Brandon would find to have jerked up at the last minute. Basna had used his telekinetic abilities to redirect the blast as it flew right over his head and in-between his antennae. Basna reached with his free hand and curled his giant fingers around the human. Now with his increased size came more power as he had grown tired of their match. Maybe if he hadn’t been forced to transform he’d be in a better mood, but he had just about it. With all his power at his disposal, Basna had enough to overwhelm the man –and that he did.

He gripped Brandon and strangled his entire body, squeezing the life out of him until he finally gave up. His gun was now trapped next to him and pointing skywards. Brandon would feel how the pointy end of his own rigorous weapon starts to purge into his skin. It was to Basna’s knowledge that the saiyans possessed some kind of recuperating chamber, so he probably wouldn’t hesitate on crushing a few bones if necessary –but by no means was the man’s life in danger.

“I’ve had about enough.” He declared with his ringing deep voice as the crowd watched with anticipation from the end of their seats.

[brandon007]

Brandon gasped as he was slowly being crushed in the Namekian's grasp. Curse his lack of Elemental powers. If he had stronger ice abilities, he could easily escape such a dangerous situation, unfortunately time was out for him.

The combination of his body being fatally compressed, and his internal bleeding was the end of it. "Damn it you, You killed us!" A Voice in Brandon head said, as his vision slowly faded to black, as the last breath Brandon had left his body, which fell limp in the Namekian's grasp. It seemed that Basna was squeezing a little too hard on the Darkling Hybrid.

To the audience that watched, it would seem that Basna had killed Brandon by accident... But was he really? Only one who knew of Darkling Physiology would know how to see if Brandon was still living.

(PL Please)

Basna continued to constrict the human until he felt the man’s powerlevel drop back to its base form and then some. His arms couldn’t dangle as they were all within his grasp and pinned onto his sides, but he felt the man to have stopped resisting and with good judgment released him. Namekians had powerful ears –especially while in his heightened transformation, so he could hear his heart beating still. He smirked, “Too bad, only if you were a little stronger…” he murmured. The crowed was silent, he knew exactly how it looked, but these were barbarious men, the saiyans. Sure, there were the few sensitive ones, but it didn’t take long for the first to break out and the rest to follow as they stood with a shout and began to applaud the spectacle they had just witnessed.

That’s right, he thought. Admire Basna, Master of the Namekian Warrior Caste. His body began to shrink back down into the devastated arena as he descended onto the ground holding his opponent over his shoulder. “Tsk!” he groaned, reminded of the injury in his ankle the moment he stepped on it. It wouldn’t take long before he was completely back in health –specially with the saiyan technology, but the pain was gruesome. He levitated and flew towards the exit, handing the human to one of the staff as the announcer claimed him victor of the first round.

“Get him to the rejuvenation tank while he’s breathing.” He said, and floated away himself to get the proper treatment.

2,900 PL for Basna for writing an engaging perspective of a great battle.
3,000 PL for Brandon for writing an enthralling perspective as well.

Brandon, I've decided to give you a bit of bonus PL for staying in the game for as long as you did and doing it in creative ways. I do not agree on how everything played out, but in the grand scheme of things I think you took advantage of what your character was capable of and used it to make this a fairly close fight. That said, I enjoy reading short and to the point posts, but give me a bit more flair next time, neh?

Basna, as always, beautifully described while remaining on topic and addressing what needs to be addressed. I particularly like how you display your character's attitude, he's very Saiyan for a Namekian, and he fits perfectly into the SSE. Well done.

I just had to give Brandon a bit of a bonus for what he accomplished despite being overmatched to a degree while still fighting his heart out. Pretty inspiring stuff.

Congratulations on entering the semis, Basna, and don't fret, Brandon, you could very well make it there yourself for a great performance!
