Bome Castle Arena:
The dome was huge. The spectator seating was completely dark. Every now and then, specially designed spotlights would move to an area revealing a packed arena and a sponsor’s logo. Spectators didn’t care about the light; their focus was on the set of structures and the two competitors fighting for the global championship.
The well lit area was also the focus of all attention. A small maze of one story buildings, stairs, and sand served as a fighting stage for the competitors. Deafening cheers and camera flashes erupted whenever it seemed like one of the fighters had an upper hand.
The challenger, Generosa E, was much more visible. In her brown armored mechanical rocket suit, she hovered in the air firing laser blasts to the ground. She could only stay in the air for brief periods; she was running out of fuel. The champion ducked and ran between the structures. He had a very quick dash. It was faster than she could aim.
Landing on top of one of the structures, her tracking system spotted a brief hint of motion behind her. She quickly spun and fired a series of blaster bolts following him as he tried to run out of sight. She got him! The crowd roared as he tripped and managed to jump off the building and out of her range. They roared again when he hit the ground.
Strolling to the edge she knew that this fight was all but over. She had wasting a lot of energy. She knew she had played into his hands most of the fight but he got careless. And now, she had him. She had hit him with a paralyzing bolt. He would not be able to move far.
Approaching the edge, she prepared a small rocket to make sure that he wouldn’t be running for a while. She wanted everyone to know that she was the new champion. It would make a good picture for the newspaper. Looking over the edge she saw, nothing.
He was gone.
Jaquan Zu, the global champion, knew she was getting frustrated. He had planned and practiced this strategy with his team. He talked to the news reporters about an easy win but she was no push over. Her rockets and debilitating blaster shots were much better than his fist weapons. Plate shields with knuckle blades and stabbing spikes were no match for long range weapons. His weapons were enchanted, but it made little difference here. He could only hope to dodge as long as she was flying.
The Hanja character on his chest was still glowing so he cast another heal on his leg. His rage techniques allowed him to get out of most stuns temporarily but it would definitely sting for a while. He escaped just in time.
She was grounded, distracted, and confused giving him the time he needed. It was time to strike. Dashing at her, he activated an armor piercing enchant and stabbed through her jet pack as she was turning around. She screamed in frustration and pain as she fell to where she thought he landed. The challenger landed on her back with a thud, leaving a fresh blood stain in the sand. The crowd was going crazy.
He jumped down to the challenger as she was getting up. Out of her armor she produced two short poles one with a moon like blade attached. She quickly connected the two and dropped into a fighting stance, signaling that the fight was not over.
Being champion for the longest time, Jaquan knew what to do. He used the Duelist Talent Set so he could out fight her. He just had to stay close. Stepping in, he continued to close the distance keeping her from getting away. She knew she was in trouble but was too flustered to do anything about it.
She swung her blade at him. He caught and parried it easily with his shield. It fell from her hand. She tried to aim her arm blaster. He deflected her arm wide. Now that she was unbalanced, he quickly found the vital points in her armor. He punched and stabbed through her armor until she was unable to get back up.
The horns sounded signaling the end of the fight. The healers and medics came quickly to restore the Generosa. Though her body will be whole before the end of the day, her armor will take some time to repair.
Then a voice called over the speakers. “The winner and reigning champion, Jaquan Zu!” They overly emphasized the name the way that announcers like to do. Jaquan’s victory music blasts over the speakers. He raises his hands in victory as he limps slightly towards the exit. Casting another heal on his leg he is able to walk a lot easier. He leaves the arena with his fighting team, once again as champion.
