Fight

[Maikeru D. Shinigami]

Son of a, have I not gone first once this entire tourney? >.>

[kg gangster]

*sings* Whadda want from me?

[Maikeru D. Shinigami]

Nothing, it's fine, I'll go first. I just distinctly remember going first against Zetsu, and making the only move against Dark and Sora. I'll have to come up with a move in a bit.

[kg gangster]

Cuz your a gangster

[-Naruto-]

a kg gangster?

[kg gangster]

whoa now lets not go that far XD

[Maikeru D. Shinigami]

After jumping down from the trees of Menos Forest, Ace saw that Sora was already lying unconscious on the ground. "Even simpler than my last foe," Ace said. "How unfortunate it is to face an opponent that will not put up a fight. I truly hope that my final contest will be more challenging than this one."

After speaking, Ace pulled a Sour Green Apple jolly rancher out of his pocket and munched on it as he waited for another host to tell him where to go next. For a couple hours he waited, and after that he decided to take a nap, since it seemed to be taking forever for him to receive new information. Four hours into his nap, a host awoke Ace, asked him how long he'd been out and told him the site of the final round. "Ah, a three way battle you say? Perhaps this will finally give me a battle in which I have to exert energy. I haven't done that since round one against Zetsu Aporro Granz. It's nice to only have to travel to Las Noches Castle. I'm already nearly there as it is."

Ace went to the castle and rested more waiting for the arrival of his final two opponents. Looking down on the room he would be battling in, he noticed that it was mostly plain, aside from a couple tables and chairs, as well as designs on the walls. Sitting, Ace saw his first opponent arrive, and looked at his wounds. "This guy doesn't appear to have had much of a challenge in this tournament either, perhaps he will be good to fight," Ace said to himself. After another hour of waiting, the last opponent arrived a little more beaten than Ace and Devroux. "This must be the other opponent. She seems to have actually been put up to a challenge, the fact that she walked out of the battle with victory could mean she will be a very formidable force in this battle."

Seeing that his two opponents had entered the battlefield, Ace began his own walk to the room. Smoke began to cloud the floors of the room as music (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wjW-j2PAv-I) began to play. When Ace reached the center of the arena he looked at his two opponents and made a bow to each. "You must be Queen Hallenthia and Devroux Alter, the two managed to make it to the final round, other than myself. It's about time to see whether you can prove to be strong, unlike my last two opponents."

Ace held his hat and pushed it down on his head. "Have you ever seen a rabbit pop out of a hat, the demons of hell transcend the realm of the Netherworld, watched a goddess as she performed a miracle which could only be described as 'surreal'? If you have yet to see the true magnificent powers of a magician in action, this should prove to be a treat for the both of you. I pardon my rudeness for not introducing myself earlier. I am Ace Spade. Unlike most of the people in this world, I am not a pure soul reaper, hollow, vizard or quincy. I am a magician, a magician who has managed to obtain some powers from the aforementioned races. Zanpaktou? I have one. Releases? I have them as well. But that is not the limit to my power. You shall be amazed by the extent of the power of a magician. Prepare to know fear, and to battle against luck itself."

Ace jumped back and pulled out a deck of playing cards and tossed them in the air around him. As they fell to the the ground, he began to spin like a tornado, while uttering a chant, "My body is my temple, my weapon, my shield. The essence of my being, a manipulatable force to use at will. My body holds boundaries which I must overcome, a vessel to be made stronger, and the pride of my ancestors. Now, I seek out to you, Lord of the Heavens, give me the strength to further extend my powers. 'My Body is My Temple: Heaven's Heir'." With that the power radiating around Ace grows ever stronger, as he pulls out a pair of dice.

Placing them against his head, they stick as Ace utters another chant, "My mind is my knowledge, my strategy, my understanding. The personification of my creativity which has no limits, the beginning of the end and the end of the beginning. It creates my sense of justice, love and peace. Lord of the Heavens, I ask of you, grant me the mind nothing less than accepting to you, my lord. 'My Mind is My Knowledge: Heaven's Blessing'." With that, even more energy radiated from Ace, as the tables and chairs in the room began to fly into the walls.

"The strength of my mine and body has multiplied tenfold. It has been blessed by my lord, to increase my strength. My attack, my defense, my mind, have been increased to their maximum potential as I have accepted my lord to aid me. My goal is not obtain victory in this battle, but to fulfill my dream. The dream of entering a battle which I can enjoy, and I pray that the two of you can force me further than I've ever been before," Ace stated. "No matter what form I am in, I now have the capabilities to perform at my strongest, and I want the same out of you. Without further adieu, I believe it is truly time to begin. May this battle be the most fun we've ever had."

Ace pulled out five marbles and dropped them to the ground, as smoke appeared in front of him. He then sonidoed away and behind his opponents. Ace then opened his jacket which showed thousands of items in it. Pulling five playing cards out, he held them out in front of him and spoke, "Heaven's Army: Knights of Spade," the five Jack of Spade cards in his hands turned into knights which stood in front of him, but did not cover so much space that Ace himself couldn't see his opponents. With a motion of his hands, two knights each ran after Devroux and Queen Hallenthia. The last, stayed behind with Ace as the ran further away. He then pulled out a small mah-jong tile and threw it upon the ground, "Lovely Creatures: Spider Eight," caused a spider about half as tall as him to appear. It was an elegant spider, which shined white in the room. "Use your strength, and summon forth the web gifted by the angels. "Harp Strings' Blessing: Web of Angel Might," formed a very strong web of harp string around Ace and the spider.

"Coming in contact with the web of angel might, could cause the opponent to be skewered," Ace stated as his knight stood guard outside the web. At this point, Ace decided he should give his opponents more to defend against. Pulling out an eight of spades, he tossed the card in the air above his opponents. "Heaven's Shot: Elliptical Reign," sent hundreds of arrows down on the battlefield. They looked to demolish both of his foes. "That's not all," Ace said as he threw a dice in the air. "Heaven's Enhancement: Light of God," he said as the arrows turned to pure light, making them faster than normal arrows, and giving them more capability of performing burning or piercing damage. Ace thinking quickly then dropped a small object on the ground, and waited to see how his opponent's would react at his gift from the heavens.

[Hally]

KG pmed me and told me to make the next move since dev has not been on in like 3 days so I will counter soon Maik.

[Cyl]

This might be a 1v1 after all huh?

[Bacon]

Maik, your siggy video is annoying because it slows my browser done to a snail's pace everytime I enter this page. -.-

As for devvy, he better fight. I paid good money to see this. >.>

[Hally]

I approach my opponents knowing full well what lies ahead of me. Both Dev and Ace are extremely skilled and I may have a very difficult time battling the two of them at once. No matter I have to defeat them.
"You cant silly Hally!" A voice echos in my mind as I shake my head while approaching the area for battle. "You are to weak to handle this alone.Your lucky Kg didn't kill you. You should have died in that fight for not relying on me. Release me now" I hold out both my blades above me as a dark ominous sp seems to engulf my body the moment I see my opponents. I know I have to 2nd release right away but I also know that once I 2nd release I become a completely different person and my blood lust takes over. This will no longer be a fun battle it will be a battle to kill and devour my opponents souls.

"Emerge from the Darkness, Oscuras Dragoness Halliellia"
I speak as my sp shoots out everywhere but controlled with my sp manipulation in such away that the brunt power of my sp release will be contained around me and wont harm my opponents. You see me transform as I now have 6 wings, 10 tails my claws have grown even longer. My body is now covered in a extremely durable and strong hollow bone covering my skin all over me from head to toe. On top of that is a very strong and durable metal armor, durable due to the fact my sp is infused inside it so I can manipulate my armor as I chose. My eyes turn blood red as my sp spirals around me in a tight condensed sphere.

This reddish black sp has a burning corrosive property and will literally disintegrate almost anything on contact. It is also very explosive depending on what I decide to do with the sp. Its spiraling speeds reach the rotational speeds would be equal to a rotational wind of 150 miles per hour which can literally tear things apart and blow them away making my deflection of attacks even more enhanced. If you come in contact with this shield it will tear your skin apart, infect your body with its corrosive burning property and it will kill you. I hold a double bladed sword and my shield which is even more enhanced with sp.


I notice my opponent uses something I am unfamiliar with. Magic. he sonidos behind me and Dev as I spin around facing him. When he summons his knights and they run toward me I smirk as a massive extension of highly condensed rotational sp lashes out from my rotational shield swinging out toward your knights aiming to wrap around the knights entirely while disconnecting from my shield and creating a spiraling vortex of sp around the knights which should stop the knights dead in their tracks and prevent them from reaching me or harming me. The rotational vortex will spiral much like a tornado and will tear most things apart on contact. However it was only meant to contain your knight not kill it just trap it to keep it from attacking me. All the while you summon a spider thing and surround yourself and your spider with a deadly defense in the shape of a web. However he was not finished attacking and he decided to attack again. When the arrows shot down upon me I focus and pull in my shield so that it is tighter condensing and strengthening it even more as the outer rotational speed increase past the point of 150 miles per hour reaching near 200 miles per hour creating an epic deadly hurricane force power. "Hurricane Escudo" I speak as the arrows hit my shield and should be easily deflected away. Even with their enhancement the force of my shield is enough to literally tear the arrows apart and send them flying off into the distance.

With your attacks countered I focus on my attacks. I look toward Ace and then Devroux in the chance that he survived your onslaught of attacks. I focus as 6 extensions shoot out from my shield disconnecting and forming in such a way to resemble 6 unique clones that look almost identical too me however they are entirely black in color with ominous red eyes. 3 of them look toward you and the others look toward Devroux. 2 open their mouths letting out 2 massive blood curdling screams while the other 4 clones dispatch and head off into different directions at sonido speed. Each scream creates a near-invisible sound wave infused with my special corrosive and superheated sp which aims toward Main and Dev. 1 is aimed toward Ace and the other is aimed toward Dev. If they hit they will literally cause your entire body to explode within seconds not only from the frequency of the sound waves entering your body but the superheated sp withing the sound itself. "Death Scream"

While this is happening I have slammed my blade into the ground releasing my sp into the ground. My two other clones scatter into the distance into the air as well as my other 4 who are in the air high. While the sound waves travel toward Ace and Dev an immense blast of flaming sp shoots through the ground toward Ace and Dev and begins to heat up the area to lethal temperatures, while propagating under the ground and melting away the ground itself. Once the sound waves will have hopefully hit you the ground below you will begin to heat up as I pull my blade out of the ground and fly into the air rising above both Ace and Dev spreading out all 6 of my wings. At this point the entire ground will have formed into an intense liquefied thick sp with an extremely high density. The liquid will attempt to cling to Ace and Dev's body's literally sticking to their feet like a thick glue making it nearly impossible to move as they will then begin to sink down into the liquefied ground while the heat from the liquid itself could set your entire bodies on fire coming in contact with it.

On top of that the sp will begin to propagate and spread along your body if it makes contact shooting up your body with the burning liquid To add even more problems the moment the liquid forms beneath them giant sp like hands reach out from below Ace and Dev 10 in total. 5 aimed to grab Dev's limbs and head and the other aimed to do the same to Ace. The hands have the same effect as the liquid while the liquid below both of you will begin to rise upward drastically and can reach extreme heights. Burning Nightmare! On top of that sp from the ground releases into the area creating spheres of sp which attempt to surround all of us covering a massive range and multiplying by the second creating hundreds of small spheres. They don't touch any of us at the moment as they begin to flame.

As all this is happening I unleash my move from above Ace and Dev. I smirk as the spikes along each of my wings 600 in total. I only release 50 spikes from my wings and aim down toward Ace and Dev spiraling taking on a rotational drill like effect. 25 aim for Ace and 25 for Dev. They are made out of the metal from my highly durable armor and the special sp surrounding the metal allows for me to manipulate in any way I chose.

The metal drills shoot toward you both aiming to surround you above from all angles homing in on your locations. The metal drills will then shoot down toward you at immense speed as they grow larger and larger to create massive rotational drills the size of massive swords. Each drill has the effect to easily slice through most defenses and since its not pure SP based and a mix of actual armored metal and sp this makes it an even more lethal attack. The metal can survive intense temperatures since its what is used to protect my body so it can easily slice through some energy based attacks and explosions depending. Each metal drill will be guided toward you to aim to pierce right into your body threatening to drill through your defenses and impale you all over killing you as numerous ones will be aimed to strike your head as well as other areas all around you. "Barrage of Death!" You will have to deal with this plus the sp liquid attack.

While this is happening 3 clones soar above Dev and 3 above Ace blasting there way out of the castle charging beams along their tails while their entire body's begin to glow. I remain surrounded by my rotational hurricane like sp while flying high into the air out of the castle tearing the roof apart as I do, while my blade begins to flicker with a golden fire. All the while 50 rotational sp extensions form along my rotational shield lashing out into the distance. Each extension is very deadly and has the power to burn almost anything on contact while tearing them apart. As for the spheres the spheres begin to flame and multiply even more growing in intensity.

Now it is time for you to die. This is the end Devroux Alter and Ace Spade! You made a mistake facing me in this tournament. In the end it is futile the fate of this fight has already been determined when you faced off against me, Queen Hallethenia Hallibelle Starrk! Farewell! I shall enjoy devouring your souls. In the end

I continue to speak watching my opponents in the distance as I gaze toward them extremely blood lusted as my clones continue to watch them glaring toward their direction.

[Hally]

Lolz your a fast reader. If you need more explainations on my attacks I can give them too you. Was trying not to go overboard with description.
Its posted. Now we just need to wait for Dev to counter.
Edit I am deleting all my spamming in this thread so it will be easier for Bacon or whoever to judge.

[kg gangster]

I'm going to have 3 judges judge and then take the averages each round.

[Bacon]

Normally I would wait for dev to go,but these moves are too large for me to wait. :P I'm going to scrutinize on every flaw that I see.

Maik:
1. Creativity:19/20
2. Defense:17/20
3. Offense:18/20
4. Overall Strategy:18/20
5. Use of Powers and Skill:19/20
91/100

I was truly impressed by the use of incorporation of past events and your overall dialogue. The chants were pretty awesome. As for the powers, it was all impressive to say the least, but your attacks seems to be a bit jumbled up. You sent your knights after dev and hally,then sent a hail of arrows after them afterwards.

Hally:

1. Creativity:19/20
2. Defense:16/20
3. Offense:19/20
4. Overall Strategy:18/20
5. Use of Powers and Skill:18/20
90/100

Hally, your powers have progressed tremendously,but your defenses are rather sparse. A good offense will never substitute for a good defense. As for the number of attacks launched, I am willing to let it slide this time,but adding that last spike attack was a bit much.

[Maikeru D. Shinigami]

It's kind of difficult to use a bigger defense in the opening turn.

[Bacon]

I know that maik,but that's where creativity comes into play.

[Maikeru D. Shinigami]

Indeed, I guess I didn't want to go too "all out" to start off. xD

[Hally]

I'm going to have 3 judges judge and then take the averages each round.

Alright sounds cool with me. So then you and danielle as well or Dev? But dev is in this fight so that kinda wont work. XD.

Thank you! So dont use 3 massive attacks? Mabey only two? Or use less spikes like 10 instead of 25 each? Not really sure what you mean. Please explain so I dont do it again. Thank you!`:P
Lolz I didnt know how closely matched me and maik are this is going to be a close fight. Yikes!!! And I know I am I actually am horrible with defenses. There is so much more I could do with my metal manipulation in 2nd release but honestly I have never used it.

[Bacon]

You did too much in one move.

You

Made clones
made them attack with sound waves
melted the ground
flew high above and made multiple hands out of the lavaish material
made spikes

All before either person would have a chance to do anything. The extra effects are cool,but the amount of things you did made it seem like you were attacking a stump who won't fight back.

Edit: And those orb thingies. xD

[Devroux]

I've been grounded... I'm REALLY sorry.

Am I still in this or what?

[Maikeru D. Shinigami]

Yes, KG moved Hally in front of you. Also, DON'T GET GROUNDED FOO'!

[Devroux]

I'm at a friend's which is why I'm on. I was pointing out how my mom was wrong and she got pissy. Sorry for having an opinion. xD

As for this, I'll get it done as soon as I can. Again, really sorry for being so late.

[Maikeru D. Shinigami]

Alright, but do it fast. We aren't waiting on you just cause you're grounded!1!!!1one!11one1!

[Devroux]

I vote we end the tourney part of the match when it's supposed to, but keep fighting until one of us win. I read both of the moves and I'm really amazed. If I get ungrounded and can fight this with heart, this will be a great fight.

Also, I've seen Hally's stuff before so it's not as amazing the second time around, but Maik, even though I know how you like to do, I'm amazed every time I read your anything. You're truly a great writer.

[Maikeru D. Shinigami]

Yeah, I am.

[Bacon]

I always crack up when maik does that. :P

>.> Dev, why do you get into so much trouble? D:

[Maikeru D. Shinigami]

Of course you do.

[Devroux]

I always crack up when maik does that. :P

>.> Dev, why do you get into so much trouble? D:
My mom doesn't like it when I have opinions. She hates it even more when I'm right.

[Maikeru D. Shinigami]

Parents don't operate on logic.

[Devroux]

Apparently...

Maik, are your knights energy or flesh and blood?

[Maikeru D. Shinigami]

They're knights. Doesn't matter how you decide to go at them, they're solid I know. xD

[Devroux]

It's just for description. I wanted to know if I could talk blood or if they just disperse. I want to pour some soul into this fight.

[Maikeru D. Shinigami]

You can reply to them however you like. That's why I didn't describe anything. Descriptions hinder the enjoyment of battle.

[Devroux]

I can do this tonight. Too many distractions.

ASAP tomorrow. I WILL get it done.

[Bacon]

:P Waiting. xD

[Devroux]

Sorry... It's friggin' hard trying to compete with Maik.

[Bacon]

Don't worry about maik one upping you, just wing it and have fun. >.> Kinda defeats the purpose of participating if you worry about other people's stuff.

[Devroux]

I'm not worrying. It's just a personal goal. His move was easy to counter, but his writing is amazing. That's what I'm trying to compete with. Creativity as well. I know I can compete power-wise though.

I'm almost finished countering Hally and then I'll be making my own attacks. Should be up within the hour... Or two.

[Hally]

I know I love maiks writting hes amazingly creative and hes found away to use "magic" in a cool no hax way. Also like your spider thingy pretty awesome. I dun like spiders in rl though they scare me. XXDD.
Then there is you Dev your the friggen defence/counter expert. I dunno about maik yet cause this is the 1st time I fought him, but you.....you and your damn defences are so hard to even penitrate even with me being more of an offensive power based fighter developing moves that break defences. Nither one of us got a hit on eachother in our BFV fight and that was considered one of my most epic fights ever in BFV. Now your apparently more deadly with attacking so you have said. Cant wait to see it.

[Devroux]

I like to do things my way. The way I talk, the way I fight, and the way I live life are all done in my way. So far, it's worked out because I'm right. In fact, I'm so right, I'm willing to use deadly force in order to get other people to see it my way. If we all live the way I, Devroux Nihil Alter, lives, then the world would be a better place. This reason is also the reason I've entered this tourney of monsters. Everyone is here for a different purpose, but none of it matters due to the fact that I'm willing to do whatever it takes to be heard. And that's worked out so far considering I'm with the two other finalists.

When I arrive at the decided battleground, I find a man. From what I've learned, his name is Ace Spade and he's pretty powerful. Ace is a magician of sorts with many different abilities. I've heard good things about him and hope to learn a bit more when we fight. If I can convince him, he might prove to be a valuable ally in making the world a better place.

A short while after an arrancar shows up. Her name is Queen Hallenthenia, otherwise known as Hally, and she's an old old ally/rival of mine. I know her abilities quite well, but considering it's been awhile, she's probably broadened her battle knowledge a bit. Even so, she's tough and if I can convince her to help me, she'd be a great ally in my quest to prove my way is the only way.

Once we've all gathered Ace steps forward and begins to speak. He tells of his abilities which are a collection of assorted races. He's a unique creature and hopefully a unique fighter. Once he's through telling us what he's about, he goes into another speech. This time it's not about him though. It's a statement asking for help from, what it sounds like, a deity. He finishes the first phrase and his energy grows and strength. When he finishes the second phrase, his energy grows again. The guy talks again and it seems as if he'll never stop. But all is well. Standing is fine.

Hally, while Ace was talking and making his energy grow, had released herself. She went into her second release right off the bat. She now has six wings, ten tails, and her claws are a bit longer. I'd say she was beautiful if I wasn't fighting her. She's a nice girl, but I know that her bloodlust is at its highest in her second release. She's also more fun to fight in this state too.

I'd release myself, but I, at this point, don't have a bankai. I've been sent into a fight where I'm the weakest link. They've got me beat and the battle just started. I'll just have to stick with my shikai which I luckily don't have to release. It saves time if I just have it released all the time.

Ace sonidoes. I can tell it was a sonido due to the sound it made. It's weird considering he's just a human, but also quite interesting with the same reason. He reappears behind Hally and I and then opens his jacket. From the immense numbers of trinkets he has concealed in his clothing, Ace draws five playing cards which he throws down in front of him. The cards glow and summon out five knights. Normally I'd be dealing with energy, but this guy's got some tricks. His summoned knights are living, breathing creatures. I can feel their minds working, if only slightly.

The knights attack. Two are sent at Hally, two at me. I reach my right hand over my shoulder and grip the handle of my oversized war fan. With relative ease I pull it from its place and over my head to bring it down on the helm of the closest knight. The man's mind stops sending pulses immediately which tells my that my single blow from my heavy weapon crushed his skull as planned. The knights limp body crumbles to the ground and I can see blood begin to seep from its depths. No time to watch though for another knight is making its way towards me. This knight weilds a lance and attempt to skewer me with it. However, the knight is hindered by his armor and is therefore not as agile as me. Even then I have some trouble with him. I ward off a few of his strikes by barely turning my war fan. When the knight makes a slip and gives an opening, I strike by forcing the top of the war fan into his gut. The knight's armor gives and I can hear his breathe leave his lungs. He falls to the ground unable to catch a breathe. As he lay there, I shove the top of my war fan into his neck with a sudden force. Even the relatively blunt edge is able to slice through his neck and decaptitate him.

After dealing with the knights, I am able to look up. Ace now stands with a spider behind a glistening web. In front of the web, the last knight stands. I see Ace make a move and another card flies over the heads of Hally and I. The card lights up and releases a barrage of arrows. With a few more words from Ace, the arrows turn into light and speed up. Without a second's thought I know what Hally's solution would be. I decide to use the same tactic. I shunpo in place, but with the speed of a shunpo, spin around. Releasing a large amount of spiritual energy from all portions of my body I am able to form a rotating dome known as a |||Vortex Shield||| around me. Using more shunpos and spins I am able to rotate the dome faster and layer it. The maneuver takes mere moments, but the shield is enough to fling the light arrows away from my body as if they were toothpicks. The added layers and speed added prove to be enough to counter the attack.

I am unable to attack before Hally does and am left to defend against her as well. She releases tentacles that she used against the knights in order to create six black clones. These clones all look at Ace and I creepily before two of them open their mouths to release an ear-piercing scream. One clone is facing Ace while another is facing myself. Knowing Hally, she's made these screams more than just a sound. I leap backwards into the air and my violet eyes turn black and my pupils grow purple. This is a point in my hollowfication that allows me to use some abilities without completely hollowfying. It's helpful in emergency cases where I need to use an ability quickly. I release my own high pitched wail known as my Hollow Wail in the direction of the clone. My scream is infused with cero energy in order to make it more powerful. When my sound waves collide with the clone's, an explosion occurs. Since I am already in the air, I am easily able to skip backwards and out of the smoke. This is helpful considering I know how Hally works.

The ground where I last was is now a bubbling pool of magma and spiritual energy. The arrancar has some hot energy if it's able to do crap like that. It's spectacular in a way as well. I'm nowhere near the pool anymore so it can't harm me. That is, until ten arms appear. Five make their way towards me and five more somewhere else. Through the smoke I can barely tell. I hold my weapon so that the flat side faces the arms. The side then bubbles like liquid and five mouths appear. They all open widely and shoot out a sphere each of highly pressurized, spiritual energy infused air known as |||Air Frags|||. The air spheres travel into the hands of the five arms making them splash out. Moments later the heat agitates my own energy and the spheres explode. The pressurized air grows and shreds apart the liquid arms down to molecular level and recombines the structures to create more air, thus extending the explosions even further. I have to move back a little further for fear of shredding myself, but am overall okay.

Hally then attacks from above sending down some spiraling, heated drills from her wings. They'd be dangerous if it weren't for my energy's ability to null the effects of other energies. I face the flat side of my fan above me and the liquid that forms the side expels a number of ribbons equal to that of drills. Each ribbons has a coat of wind and my energy around it to keep them even more safe than their already toughened state. The ribbons each try to latch onto a drill which is made easier by the fact that the drills are rotating and wind the ribbons around them. Before the drills can reach me, they are slowed down by my ribbons and stopped in their tracks. Though these are my opponent's drills, my energy will keep her from controlling these spikes anymore and will make the spikes useful for myself.

At last I see an opening and am able to attack. Using my Alter Ribbons as arms and the twenty-five collected spikes, I attack the clones. In order to help Ace a little bit I throw six spikes into the skulls of the clones. They aren't able to defend themselves at the speed the spikes were traveling and were penetrated quite easily. They all explode and the added energy the clones were charging makes the explosions even bigger. I wasn't anywhere near these clones though and am happily unharmed.

Now it's time to use my wind for a hard hitting purpose. Using |||Wind Tunnel||| I turn the surrounding area into a large wind tunnel and am able to focus the wind where I want it to go. The wind isn't harmful, but strong just the same. Strong enough to move Hally's floating orbs toward her. When I've move the orbs close enough to her that they could cause damage, I make the wind deadly to the orbs and slice them up. The slicing causes the orbs to explode and the cutting power of the wind helps. Overall, the explosions are so vicious that I, even being quite far, must use my Alter Ribbons to keep myself from gettting burnt and shredded. Hopefully since the orbs were so close to Hally, she was unable to keep herself safe and was obliterated in the explosion.

I then turn to the magician and say, "I'm quite impressed with how you fight. You're an interesting man. Let's see if you can keep up with me though."

I swing my war fan in a horizontal slash towards Ace. I'm nowhere near him though and it doesn't hurt him. Instead I release several more |||Air Frags||| which are combined with several of my ribbons each in order to help them steer towards the magician. The Alter Ribbons are connected to my zanpaktou via telepathic communication and I to the zanpaktou in the same way. With this I am able to guide the spheres by vision alone. If these sphere hit, or exploded somewhere else, they will explode in a sphere of air that will create more air from the matter around and shred whatever objects they hit into nothing. In total I send ten of these towards Ace in hopes of stopping him relatively quickly.

All in all, I hope that my few attacks will prove to be too much for my opponents because although few, they pack a severe punch.

[Devroux]

I know I love maiks writting hes amazingly creative and hes found away to use "magic" in a cool no hax way. Also like your spider thingy pretty awesome. I dun like spiders in rl though they scare me. XXDD.
Then there is you Dev your the friggen defence/counter expert. I dunno about maik yet cause this is the 1st time I fought him, but you.....you and your damn defences are so hard to even penitrate even with me being more of an offensive power based fighter developing moves that break defences. Nither one of us got a hit on eachother in our BFV fight and that was considered one of my most epic fights ever in BFV. Now your apparently more deadly with attacking so you have said. Cant wait to see it.
I think I am. I used your moves against you.

[Hally]

Nice moves Dev but I hate to say it I was well prepared for you too pull a stunt like that. Tis not going to work Devvy. I already have a counter after reading it but have to wait to see what maik is going to do. I better step things up next turn I suppose since you countered me with little effort and maik as well.

[Devroux]

Yay for overpowered shikais!

[Hally]

Lolz becarful I am in 2nd release and am prepping a move I can only use in 2nd release.

[Devroux]

Either way, I'm exploding your spheres. Most of your defenses are gone now. I hope Maik takes advantage of it.

[Hally]

Either way, I'm exploding your spheres. Most of your defenses are gone now. I hope Maik takes advantage of it.


Lolz so you think those are the only things I rely on for defence? You have yet to see what I can do in 2nd release silly Devvy. Prepare for the fight of your life cause I am just warming up now. Also I still have elemental energy transfer which I bairly have used and you also dont know the full extent of my metal manipulation.

[Maikeru D. Shinigami]

I'll reply soon, I have family over tonight and a friend over tomorrow.

[Maikeru D. Shinigami]

After jumping down from the trees of Menos Forest, Ace saw that Sora was already lying unconscious on the ground. "Even simpler than my last foe," Ace said. "How unfortunate it is to face an opponent that will not put up a fight. I truly hope that my final contest will be more challenging than this one."

After speaking, Ace pulled a Sour Green Apple jolly rancher out of his pocket and munched on it as he waited for another host to tell him where to go next. For a couple hours he waited, and after that he decided to take a nap, since it seemed to be taking forever for him to receive new information. Four hours into his nap, a host awoke Ace, asked him how long he'd been out and told him the site of the final round. "Ah, a three way battle you say? Perhaps this will finally give me a battle in which I have to exert energy. I haven't done that since round one against Zetsu Aporro Granz. It's nice to only have to travel to Las Noches Castle. I'm already nearly there as it is."

Ace went to the castle and rested more waiting for the arrival of his final two opponents. Looking down on the room he would be battling in, he noticed that it was mostly plain, aside from a couple tables and chairs, as well as designs on the walls. Sitting, Ace saw his first opponent arrive, and looked at his wounds. "This guy doesn't appear to have had much of a challenge in this tournament either, perhaps he will be good to fight," Ace said to himself. After another hour of waiting, the last opponent arrived a little more beaten than Ace and Devroux. "This must be the other opponent. She seems to have actually been put up to a challenge, the fact that she walked out of the battle with victory could mean she will be a very formidable force in this battle."

Seeing that his two opponents had entered the battlefield, Ace began his own walk to the room. Smoke began to cloud the floors of the room as music (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wjW-j2PAv-I) began to play. When Ace reached the center of the arena he looked at his two opponents and made a bow to each. "You must be Queen Hallenthia and Devroux Alter, the two managed to make it to the final round, other than myself. It's about time to see whether you can prove to be strong, unlike my last two opponents."

Ace held his hat and pushed it down on his head. "Have you ever seen a rabbit pop out of a hat, the demons of hell transcend the realm of the Netherworld, watched a goddess as she performed a miracle which could only be described as 'surreal'? If you have yet to see the true magnificent powers of a magician in action, this should prove to be a treat for the both of you. I pardon my rudeness for not introducing myself earlier. I am Ace Spade. Unlike most of the people in this world, I am not a pure soul reaper, hollow, vizard or quincy. I am a magician, a magician who has managed to obtain some powers from the aforementioned races. Zanpaktou? I have one. Releases? I have them as well. But that is not the limit to my power. You shall be amazed by the extent of the power of a magician. Prepare to know fear, and to battle against luck itself."

Ace jumped back and pulled out a deck of playing cards and tossed them in the air around him. As they fell to the the ground, he began to spin like a tornado, while uttering a chant, "My body is my temple, my weapon, my shield. The essence of my being, a manipulatable force to use at will. My body holds boundaries which I must overcome, a vessel to be made stronger, and the pride of my ancestors. Now, I seek out to you, Lord of the Heavens, give me the strength to further extend my powers. 'My Body is My Temple: Heaven's Heir'." With that the power radiating around Ace grows ever stronger, as he pulls out a pair of dice.

Placing them against his head, they stick as Ace utters another chant, "My mind is my knowledge, my strategy, my understanding. The personification of my creativity which has no limits, the beginning of the end and the end of the beginning. It creates my sense of justice, love and peace. Lord of the Heavens, I ask of you, grant me the mind nothing less than accepting to you, my lord. 'My Mind is My Knowledge: Heaven's Blessing'." With that, even more energy radiated from Ace, as the tables and chairs in the room began to fly into the walls.

"The strength of my mine and body has multiplied tenfold. It has been blessed by my lord, to increase my strength. My attack, my defense, my mind, have been increased to their maximum potential as I have accepted my lord to aid me. My goal is not obtain victory in this battle, but to fulfill my dream. The dream of entering a battle which I can enjoy, and I pray that the two of you can force me further than I've ever been before," Ace stated. "No matter what form I am in, I now have the capabilities to perform at my strongest, and I want the same out of you. Without further adieu, I believe it is truly time to begin. May this battle be the most fun we've ever had."

Ace pulled out five marbles and dropped them to the ground, as smoke appeared in front of him. He then sonidoed away and behind his opponents. Ace then opened his jacket which showed thousands of items in it. Pulling five playing cards out, he held them out in front of him and spoke, "Heaven's Army: Knights of Spade," the five Jack of Spade cards in his hands turned into knights which stood in front of him, but did not cover so much space that Ace himself couldn't see his opponents. With a motion of his hands, two knights each ran after Devroux and Queen Hallenthia. The last, stayed behind with Ace as the ran further away. He then pulled out a small mah-jong tile and threw it upon the ground, "Lovely Creatures: Spider Eight," caused a spider about half as tall as him to appear. It was an elegant spider, which shined white in the room. "Use your strength, and summon forth the web gifted by the angels. "Harp Strings' Blessing: Web of Angel Might," formed a very strong web of harp string around Ace and the spider.

"Coming in contact with the web of angel might, could cause the opponent to be skewered," Ace stated as his knight stood guard outside the web. At this point, Ace decided he should give his opponents more to defend against. Pulling out an eight of spades, he tossed the card in the air above his opponents. "Heaven's Shot: Elliptical Reign," sent hundreds of arrows down on the battlefield. They looked to demolish both of his foes. "That's not all," Ace said as he threw a dice in the air. "Heaven's Enhancement: Light of God," he said as the arrows turned to pure light, making them faster than normal arrows, and giving them more capability of performing burning or piercing damage. Ace thinking quickly then dropped a small object on the ground, and waited to see how his opponent's would react at his gift from the heavens.

I approach my opponents knowing full well what lies ahead of me. Both Dev and Ace are extremely skilled and I may have a very difficult time battling the two of them at once. No matter I have to defeat them.
"You cant silly Hally!" A voice echos in my mind as I shake my head while approaching the area for battle. "You are to weak to handle this alone.Your lucky Kg didn't kill you. You should have died in that fight for not relying on me. Release me now" I hold out both my blades above me as a dark ominous sp seems to engulf my body the moment I see my opponents. I know I have to 2nd release right away but I also know that once I 2nd release I become a completely different person and my blood lust takes over. This will no longer be a fun battle it will be a battle to kill and devour my opponents souls.

"Emerge from the Darkness, Oscuras Dragoness Halliellia"
I speak as my sp shoots out everywhere but controlled with my sp manipulation in such away that the brunt power of my sp release will be contained around me and wont harm my opponents. You see me transform as I now have 6 wings, 10 tails my claws have grown even longer. My body is now covered in a extremely durable and strong hollow bone covering my skin all over me from head to toe. On top of that is a very strong and durable metal armor, durable due to the fact my sp is infused inside it so I can manipulate my armor as I chose. My eyes turn blood red as my sp spirals around me in a tight condensed sphere.

This reddish black sp has a burning corrosive property and will literally disintegrate almost anything on contact. It is also very explosive depending on what I decide to do with the sp. Its spiraling speeds reach the rotational speeds would be equal to a rotational wind of 150 miles per hour which can literally tear things apart and blow them away making my deflection of attacks even more enhanced. If you come in contact with this shield it will tear your skin apart, infect your body with its corrosive burning property and it will kill you. I hold a double bladed sword and my shield which is even more enhanced with sp.


I notice my opponent uses something I am unfamiliar with. Magic. he sonidos behind me and Dev as I spin around facing him. When he summons his knights and they run toward me I smirk as a massive extension of highly condensed rotational sp lashes out from my rotational shield swinging out toward your knights aiming to wrap around the knights entirely while disconnecting from my shield and creating a spiraling vortex of sp around the knights which should stop the knights dead in their tracks and prevent them from reaching me or harming me. The rotational vortex will spiral much like a tornado and will tear most things apart on contact. However it was only meant to contain your knight not kill it just trap it to keep it from attacking me. All the while you summon a spider thing and surround yourself and your spider with a deadly defense in the shape of a web. However he was not finished attacking and he decided to attack again. When the arrows shot down upon me I focus and pull in my shield so that it is tighter condensing and strengthening it even more as the outer rotational speed increase past the point of 150 miles per hour reaching near 200 miles per hour creating an epic deadly hurricane force power. "Hurricane Escudo" I speak as the arrows hit my shield and should be easily deflected away. Even with their enhancement the force of my shield is enough to literally tear the arrows apart and send them flying off into the distance.

With your attacks countered I focus on my attacks. I look toward Ace and then Devroux in the chance that he survived your onslaught of attacks. I focus as 6 extensions shoot out from my shield disconnecting and forming in such a way to resemble 6 unique clones that look almost identical too me however they are entirely black in color with ominous red eyes. 3 of them look toward you and the others look toward Devroux. 2 open their mouths letting out 2 massive blood curdling screams while the other 4 clones dispatch and head off into different directions at sonido speed. Each scream creates a near-invisible sound wave infused with my special corrosive and superheated sp which aims toward Main and Dev. 1 is aimed toward Ace and the other is aimed toward Dev. If they hit they will literally cause your entire body to explode within seconds not only from the frequency of the sound waves entering your body but the superheated sp withing the sound itself. "Death Scream"

While this is happening I have slammed my blade into the ground releasing my sp into the ground. My two other clones scatter into the distance into the air as well as my other 4 who are in the air high. While the sound waves travel toward Ace and Dev an immense blast of flaming sp shoots through the ground toward Ace and Dev and begins to heat up the area to lethal temperatures, while propagating under the ground and melting away the ground itself. Once the sound waves will have hopefully hit you the ground below you will begin to heat up as I pull my blade out of the ground and fly into the air rising above both Ace and Dev spreading out all 6 of my wings. At this point the entire ground will have formed into an intense liquefied thick sp with an extremely high density. The liquid will attempt to cling to Ace and Dev's body's literally sticking to their feet like a thick glue making it nearly impossible to move as they will then begin to sink down into the liquefied ground while the heat from the liquid itself could set your entire bodies on fire coming in contact with it.

On top of that the sp will begin to propagate and spread along your body if it makes contact shooting up your body with the burning liquid To add even more problems the moment the liquid forms beneath them giant sp like hands reach out from below Ace and Dev 10 in total. 5 aimed to grab Dev's limbs and head and the other aimed to do the same to Ace. The hands have the same effect as the liquid while the liquid below both of you will begin to rise upward drastically and can reach extreme heights. Burning Nightmare! On top of that sp from the ground releases into the area creating spheres of sp which attempt to surround all of us covering a massive range and multiplying by the second creating hundreds of small spheres. They don't touch any of us at the moment as they begin to flame.

As all this is happening I unleash my move from above Ace and Dev. I smirk as the spikes along each of my wings 600 in total. I only release 50 spikes from my wings and aim down toward Ace and Dev spiraling taking on a rotational drill like effect. 25 aim for Ace and 25 for Dev. They are made out of the metal from my highly durable armor and the special sp surrounding the metal allows for me to manipulate in any way I chose.

The metal drills shoot toward you both aiming to surround you above from all angles homing in on your locations. The metal drills will then shoot down toward you at immense speed as they grow larger and larger to create massive rotational drills the size of massive swords. Each drill has the effect to easily slice through most defenses and since its not pure SP based and a mix of actual armored metal and sp this makes it an even more lethal attack. The metal can survive intense temperatures since its what is used to protect my body so it can easily slice through some energy based attacks and explosions depending. Each metal drill will be guided toward you to aim to pierce right into your body threatening to drill through your defenses and impale you all over killing you as numerous ones will be aimed to strike your head as well as other areas all around you. "Barrage of Death!" You will have to deal with this plus the sp liquid attack.

While this is happening 3 clones soar above Dev and 3 above Ace blasting there way out of the castle charging beams along their tails while their entire body's begin to glow. I remain surrounded by my rotational hurricane like sp while flying high into the air out of the castle tearing the roof apart as I do, while my blade begins to flicker with a golden fire. All the while 50 rotational sp extensions form along my rotational shield lashing out into the distance. Each extension is very deadly and has the power to burn almost anything on contact while tearing them apart. As for the spheres the spheres begin to flame and multiply even more growing in intensity.

Now it is time for you to die. This is the end Devroux Alter and Ace Spade! You made a mistake facing me in this tournament. In the end it is futile the fate of this fight has already been determined when you faced off against me, Queen Hallethenia Hallibelle Starrk! Farewell! I shall enjoy devouring your souls. In the end

I continue to speak watching my opponents in the distance as I gaze toward them extremely blood lusted as my clones continue to watch them glaring toward their direction.

I like to do things my way. The way I talk, the way I fight, and the way I live life are all done in my way. So far, it's worked out because I'm right. In fact, I'm so right, I'm willing to use deadly force in order to get other people to see it my way. If we all live the way I, Devroux Nihil Alter, lives, then the world would be a better place. This reason is also the reason I've entered this tourney of monsters. Everyone is here for a different purpose, but none of it matters due to the fact that I'm willing to do whatever it takes to be heard. And that's worked out so far considering I'm with the two other finalists.

When I arrive at the decided battleground, I find a man. From what I've learned, his name is Ace Spade and he's pretty powerful. Ace is a magician of sorts with many different abilities. I've heard good things about him and hope to learn a bit more when we fight. If I can convince him, he might prove to be a valuable ally in making the world a better place.

A short while after an arrancar shows up. Her name is Queen Hallenthenia, otherwise known as Hally, and she's an old old ally/rival of mine. I know her abilities quite well, but considering it's been awhile, she's probably broadened her battle knowledge a bit. Even so, she's tough and if I can convince her to help me, she'd be a great ally in my quest to prove my way is the only way.

Once we've all gathered Ace steps forward and begins to speak. He tells of his abilities which are a collection of assorted races. He's a unique creature and hopefully a unique fighter. Once he's through telling us what he's about, he goes into another speech. This time it's not about him though. It's a statement asking for help from, what it sounds like, a deity. He finishes the first phrase and his energy grows and strength. When he finishes the second phrase, his energy grows again. The guy talks again and it seems as if he'll never stop. But all is well. Standing is fine.

Hally, while Ace was talking and making his energy grow, had released herself. She went into her second release right off the bat. She now has six wings, ten tails, and her claws are a bit longer. I'd say she was beautiful if I wasn't fighting her. She's a nice girl, but I know that her bloodlust is at its highest in her second release. She's also more fun to fight in this state too.

I'd release myself, but I, at this point, don't have a bankai. I've been sent into a fight where I'm the weakest link. They've got me beat and the battle just started. I'll just have to stick with my shikai which I luckily don't have to release. It saves time if I just have it released all the time.

Ace sonidoes. I can tell it was a sonido due to the sound it made. It's weird considering he's just a human, but also quite interesting with the same reason. He reappears behind Hally and I and then opens his jacket. From the immense numbers of trinkets he has concealed in his clothing, Ace draws five playing cards which he throws down in front of him. The cards glow and summon out five knights. Normally I'd be dealing with energy, but this guy's got some tricks. His summoned knights are living, breathing creatures. I can feel their minds working, if only slightly.

The knights attack. Two are sent at Hally, two at me. I reach my right hand over my shoulder and grip the handle of my oversized war fan. With relative ease I pull it from its place and over my head to bring it down on the helm of the closest knight. The man's mind stops sending pulses immediately which tells my that my single blow from my heavy weapon crushed his skull as planned. The knights limp body crumbles to the ground and I can see blood begin to seep from its depths. No time to watch though for another knight is making its way towards me. This knight weilds a lance and attempt to skewer me with it. However, the knight is hindered by his armor and is therefore not as agile as me. Even then I have some trouble with him. I ward off a few of his strikes by barely turning my war fan. When the knight makes a slip and gives an opening, I strike by forcing the top of the war fan into his gut. The knight's armor gives and I can hear his breathe leave his lungs. He falls to the ground unable to catch a breathe. As he lay there, I shove the top of my war fan into his neck with a sudden force. Even the relatively blunt edge is able to slice through his neck and decaptitate him.

After dealing with the knights, I am able to look up. Ace now stands with a spider behind a glistening web. In front of the web, the last knight stands. I see Ace make a move and another card flies over the heads of Hally and I. The card lights up and releases a barrage of arrows. With a few more words from Ace, the arrows turn into light and speed up. Without a second's thought I know what Hally's solution would be. I decide to use the same tactic. I shunpo in place, but with the speed of a shunpo, spin around. Releasing a large amount of spiritual energy from all portions of my body I am able to form a rotating dome known as a |||Vortex Shield||| around me. Using more shunpos and spins I am able to rotate the dome faster and layer it. The maneuver takes mere moments, but the shield is enough to fling the light arrows away from my body as if they were toothpicks. The added layers and speed added prove to be enough to counter the attack.

I am unable to attack before Hally does and am left to defend against her as well. She releases tentacles that she used against the knights in order to create six black clones. These clones all look at Ace and I creepily before two of them open their mouths to release an ear-piercing scream. One clone is facing Ace while another is facing myself. Knowing Hally, she's made these screams more than just a sound. I leap backwards into the air and my violet eyes turn black and my pupils grow purple. This is a point in my hollowfication that allows me to use some abilities without completely hollowfying. It's helpful in emergency cases where I need to use an ability quickly. I release my own high pitched wail known as my Hollow Wail in the direction of the clone. My scream is infused with cero energy in order to make it more powerful. When my sound waves collide with the clone's, an explosion occurs. Since I am already in the air, I am easily able to skip backwards and out of the smoke. This is helpful considering I know how Hally works.

The ground where I last was is now a bubbling pool of magma and spiritual energy. The arrancar has some hot energy if it's able to do crap like that. It's spectacular in a way as well. I'm nowhere near the pool anymore so it can't harm me. That is, until ten arms appear. Five make their way towards me and five more somewhere else. Through the smoke I can barely tell. I hold my weapon so that the flat side faces the arms. The side then bubbles like liquid and five mouths appear. They all open widely and shoot out a sphere each of highly pressurized, spiritual energy infused air known as |||Air Frags|||. The air spheres travel into the hands of the five arms making them splash out. Moments later the heat agitates my own energy and the spheres explode. The pressurized air grows and shreds apart the liquid arms down to molecular level and recombines the structures to create more air, thus extending the explosions even further. I have to move back a little further for fear of shredding myself, but am overall okay.

Hally then attacks from above sending down some spiraling, heated drills from her wings. They'd be dangerous if it weren't for my energy's ability to null the effects of other energies. I face the flat side of my fan above me and the liquid that forms the side expels a number of ribbons equal to that of drills. Each ribbons has a coat of wind and my energy around it to keep them even more safe than their already toughened state. The ribbons each try to latch onto a drill which is made easier by the fact that the drills are rotating and wind the ribbons around them. Before the drills can reach me, they are slowed down by my ribbons and stopped in their tracks. Though these are my opponent's drills, my energy will keep her from controlling these spikes anymore and will make the spikes useful for myself.

At last I see an opening and am able to attack. Using my Alter Ribbons as arms and the twenty-five collected spikes, I attack the clones. In order to help Ace a little bit I throw six spikes into the skulls of the clones. They aren't able to defend themselves at the speed the spikes were traveling and were penetrated quite easily. They all explode and the added energy the clones were charging makes the explosions even bigger. I wasn't anywhere near these clones though and am happily unharmed.

Now it's time to use my wind for a hard hitting purpose. Using |||Wind Tunnel||| I turn the surrounding area into a large wind tunnel and am able to focus the wind where I want it to go. The wind isn't harmful, but strong just the same. Strong enough to move Hally's floating orbs toward her. When I've move the orbs close enough to her that they could cause damage, I make the wind deadly to the orbs and slice them up. The slicing causes the orbs to explode and the cutting power of the wind helps. Overall, the explosions are so vicious that I, even being quite far, must use my Alter Ribbons to keep myself from gettting burnt and shredded. Hopefully since the orbs were so close to Hally, she was unable to keep herself safe and was obliterated in the explosion.

I then turn to the magician and say, "I'm quite impressed with how you fight. You're an interesting man. Let's see if you can keep up with me though."

I swing my war fan in a horizontal slash towards Ace. I'm nowhere near him though and it doesn't hurt him. Instead I release several more |||Air Frags||| which are combined with several of my ribbons each in order to help them steer towards the magician. The Alter Ribbons are connected to my zanpaktou via telepathic communication and I to the zanpaktou in the same way. With this I am able to guide the spheres by vision alone. If these sphere hit, or exploded somewhere else, they will explode in a sphere of air that will create more air from the matter around and shred whatever objects they hit into nothing. In total I send ten of these towards Ace in hopes of stopping him relatively quickly.

All in all, I hope that my few attacks will prove to be too much for my opponents because although few, they pack a severe punch.

For ease of countering.

[Devroux]

I've got to add more dialogue to my moves! Dx

[Bacon]

Like I said devvy, don't worry about your writing. You're not going to have fun if this is going through your head all the time," OMG I have to add more dialogue because that's what maik does"! " Oh shoot, maik added details to this and maik did that"! You need to find your own style of writing and have faith in it.

1. Creativity:18/20
2. Defense:19/20
3. Offense:17/20
4. Overall Strategy:20/20
5. Use of Powers and Skill:16/20
90/100
Good move dev, it was interesting how you maneuvered the spheres utilizing your own wind. As for the clones and spikes, that's a no-no to me. The spikes would be worn down by your own power and the clones die automatically screws with the flow of the fight. Technically it's not a god mod,but it is unnecessary to declare them as dead.

[Hally]

Damn this fight is too close were all so friggen good. Each opening move was epic in my oppinion with a few flaws which you could find but nothing major. Everyone has there points they need to work on and its an opening move after all. I shall do better and beat maik and dev both next move/

Lolz no excuses hally you have to be better. Dont use its an opening move as an excuse for letting maik get one point above you. Your weak thats what. Just weak.

Shut up!! I know that.. (sorry had to add my ruthless hally thingy in this) XD

Also Bacon you saying that I has a question before I do something futile would it be alright for my clones to possibly defend against that or should I let them die or what? I didnt think anything of it cause it was a direct hit on my clones not me but still.
So Maik has one point above me and dev yikes

[Maikeru D. Shinigami]

As Ace sends off his final attack, he watches as Hally and Devroux put up their defenses. Watching their movements, he spoke in his mind, "Due to the reactions of my foes, I can tell their style. Devroux is more defensive than offensive, and Hallenthia is the opposite. If I can expose this as a weakness, I may be able to take them both down." Hallenthia's attitude came off as aggressive, an 'all-out' fighter, considering how aggressive her defense even is. Devroux, seemed much more cool and relaxed in comparison. Continuing to speak to himself, Ace thought, "There must be more to these two competitors. They couldn't have made it this far solely on those skills. No, certainly there is more than meets the eyes."

The thought didn't last long though, as Hallenthia began attacking quickly, with much tenacity. Ace didn't realize it before, but Hallenthia had already gone into her second release, "Even more aggressive than expected," he thought to himself. Having no time to think though, he prepared to defend against the forthcoming attacks. Six ugly clones were formed as extensions from Hallenthia's shield, Ace squinted as he expected something big. All that was released at first was a loud scream. Knowing Hallenthia, this attack was going to be more than just a regular deafening scream. Using the dice he dropped on the floor just before, he used its power to create a fiberglass shield around his ear. As fiberglass is a regular soundproofing material, it would prove the perfect tool to stop Hallenthia's scream from entering his ears. As he did this though, he noticed that the air seemed to become a bit a disfigured, in a way that could only be done by heat. Pulling out two winter mah-jong tiles, he held them to his ears, which would decrease the direct temperature around him, with his ears as the center point, and the area where the temperature decrease would be the highest.

After the scream was finished, Ace removed his hands and thought again to himself, "Things like that are what could make her a dangerous opponent to deal with. It is a clever tactic to use sound to hide such a formidable challenge." Just as he was thinking though, he realized that not only had she hid the heat in the scream, but she had also sent a heat attack into the ground. "She isn't just a show-off, she knows what she's doing. Had I not noticed the heated air, the floor would have gotten me. These winter tiles sure are handy sometimes," he continued thinking to himself.

Realizing he was in a danger zone, Ace kept his winter tiles in tact, sticking them in his shirt pockets, so as to keep his hands free for defending. He had his spider open up a door in the harp string web, so he could run out of the area while staying prepared. With the temperature shield around him, the heat would not harm him, which was made evident by the fact that the liquefied heat would make a flashy display of freezing as he crossed over, only to reheat after they were out of his shield zone. That was not is only worries though. As he deactivated his fiberglass ears, Ace realized Hallenthia was making her next attack. She moved into the air, as Ace noticed five hands rising up from the ground. Prepared for this attack, he decided that it was time to show a bit of his true defensive power.

Looking over, he noticed his spider and web had been destroyed from the heat. Their destruction however, would only lead to the magician's gain. The destruction of the harp and the spider led to the instrument of Ace's desire. The hardened shell of the mighty beast creating the base as the harp strings formed the strings for this instrument. Appearing within his hands was a cello [[Angel's Blessing: Instrumento Reincarnate]]. He saw the hands closing in on him fast and began to play a verse. "Beautiful Melody: Magician's Sonata', grant me the strength needed to defend against this foe, my lord," he said. [[Heaven's Doves]] At that time, the elegant sound formed the most beautiful of defenses that one could lay eyes on. Around him, the image of five angels transformed into mighty blue doves. Enhanced with the powers of the cold, they flew through the hands at such low temperatures, that the hands froze solid.

Ace then began to play another tune as he saw drills, twenty-five in total, approaching him quickly. [[The Savior's Gift]] caused five knights to appear beside him and a cloud to appear above him. Several more clouds appeared in the battlefield. The knights slashed their sword through the frozen hands and the cloud waited for the right time to show its true colors. Ace had already begun running toward some nearby clouds at this time, making sure to also avoid the spheres and to keep the winter tiles in his pocket activated, while also noticing three clones in the air, which were destroyed by Devroux. As the drills entered the cloud highest cloud, lightning struck them, causing them to slow down slightly in their rotation and their metal to crack slightly. "As expected," Ace, who was now hidden within a cloud thought to himself, "Those aren't normal drills."

At that point, Ace stepped out of the cloud, causing the homing drills to chase him down. He didn't move a muscle as the drills struck him, and exploded supposedly skewering Ace. However, on the ground, a joker card laid, which showed that the Ace struck was a fraud. At this time, Ace deactivated the clouds and stood in the middle of the arena, still with his winter tiles activated, so as to not be burned by the liquefied ground. Ace noticed Devroux looking at him, after he launched some attacks at Hally. Devroux told Ace that he was interesting man, and then stated that he wanted to see if Ace could keep up. "I can more than keep up with the both of you," Ace stated as Devroux began his attack.

Seeing the air frags coming close to him, Ace had a plan. Running backwards, he dropped a pack of smoke marbles to cloud his appearance, then used another defensive tactic. He pulled out a domino tile, in which both sides had a six. Throwing the tile in the cloud of smoke, a row of six mirrors appeared between him and Dev. "Reflective Mirrors," the magician said. As the frags hit the first row of mirrors, they exploded, as another melody could be heard in the smoke. [[Celestial Protection]], caused a legendary shield to form between Ace and the explosion. Ace used this as a cautionary defense, to make sure to not be harmed by the frags. After they exploded, the smoke cleared and another set of six mirrors could be seen. These mirrors shot out ten air frags at Hallenthia, which Ace hoped would take her down. As these were merely reflections of Devroux's original attack, memorized by the first set of mirrors, they would not be connected to Devroux's ribbons, and therefore they would got straight for their target Hallenthia.

Taking a breath, Ace spoke, "Devroux Alter, and interesting young fellow to say the least. Queen Hallenthia, a feisty queen, and an aggressive one. Devroux, your strength lies in your ribbons and your tactics are highly defensive. Hallenthia, her strength lies in her massive attacks, and her tactics are highly offensive. But what happens when the offensive one is pitted with all the attacks, and the defensive one has nothing to defend against? Do not mistake my intentions Devroux Alter, my redirecting of your attack was not to aid you, it was to test your tactics. Let's see if you two can pass. Queen Hallenthia interrupted my plans earlier with her quick attack," Ace said. "But no more, it is time to awaken Lord Ace Spade, and welcome him to the battlefield," he concluded.

Pulling out two dragon mah-jong tiles, he placed them over his bussom, where his heart would be. "My heart is my courage, my reasoning, my love. My heart contains the value of my soul, makes my choices, and shows the true desires of my being. May the purity of my heart shine through, and aid me in this battle. I ask of you dear lord, give me the strength of the heart. 'My Heart is My Courage: Heaven's Disciple'. Hallenthia, you are not the only one who can ascend into a second release form. When the mind, body and heart become one, the great power of Ace Spade awakens. The heart of the dragon, the body of the suits, the mind of mine tactics. They shall become one."

"My being is reality, undeniable and relentless. My being proves my existence, gives me strength, gives me hope, gives me dreams. My being achieves higher status, and grants me liberty. My being is a puzzle, never predictable and always changing. My being is a gift from God, who without, I could not exist. God, I ask of you, give me the power, combine my body, mind and heart, and show me the light," Ace chanted. "Celestial Being: Lord Ace Spade."

With that, the energy around Ace began to swirl even more, as his transformation into his second release began. His hair grew longer, becoming more blonde, his muscles grew larger, showing his strength. Wings grew out of his back, allowing him to maneuver into the air. Even his clothes changed, as he appeared more like a celestial being than a human. Golden braces with feathers coming out surrounded his wrists. Similar were his shoes. Ace looked almost entirely different. His cello still remained, as it was tied to his back.

"I am in my celestial form, with this, I become my mightiest. It is no stronger than a second release, but I have honed my skills over the years, to make this form more mighty than the average," Ace said as he crossed his arms, and light shined in his hands. "I am a magician, a magician blessed with the power of God and his angels. I need not carry my gaming objects in this form, as I can form them at will and manipulate them as usual. Do not be mistaken though, I am no longer the same man you were fighting before. My first release is luck, my second release is purity. My Aspect of Reality, is not something you want to see. It's not even something I want to see."

Celestial Lord Ace flew into the air, maneuvering around any spheres. With, him now being able to fly, and the earlier hands being destroyed, he flew up high to a distance, that he assumed would be far enough away from the liquid heat on the ground. So, as to not be harmed by it and to hopefully be able to counter any other surprises lurking within. He then pulled his cello off his back and made his next tune, [[Heaven's Melody: Celestial Sonata]]. As he played the tune, several sharp strings of light shot out toward Hallenthia in a hope to pierce her body [[Light String Symphony]]. Almost immediately after, Celestial Lord Ace placed his cello back on his back and made four mah-jong tiles appear in front of him, all dragons."

"Dragons over time, have possessed extraordinary power," Celestial Lord Ace said. "Let me show you what I mean," at that point, four wyverns appeared in front of Celestial Lord Ace. [[Heaven's Might: Light Wyverns]] Unlike regular dragons, these dragons were light-breathing dragons, able to shoot out highly condensed light. Two of them shot beams at Hallenthia. The other two shot beams in the direction of Devroux. The beams are explosive, so being in the range of the explosion can be fatal. "Why don't we see if you can keep up with me?"

Celestial Lord Ace held his head in pain as he could hear a voice in his head, "Your competitive spirit is taking over. You can't stand it, you won't accept a loss. I can see the inner chasms of your heart Ace. You call yourself a pure being, but you know in your heart that you are filled with greed. You can't call yourself a Celestial Lord, you are worse than the average human because you are not true to yourself."

"Stop it," Celestial Lord Ace yelled, "I'm not that person anymore and you can't control me. I am a messenger of the lord now, and I don't need you interfering in my life again! This is not the time or place. I don't want things to end up like they did last time."

The voice spoke back, "You can deny it all you want, but you can't escape fate. This battle will prove too much for you, and your lust for victory will have you call me out. Use me Ace, and you cannot lose."

Celestial Lord Ace kept the wyverns close by, trying to ignore the voice in his head, as he waited to see how the two would respond to his attacks.

Damn this fight is too close were all so friggen good. Each opening move was epic in my oppinion with a few flaws which you could find but nothing major. Everyone has there points they need to work on and its an opening move after all. I shall do better and beat maik and dev both next move/

Lolz no excuses hally you have to be better. Dont use its an opening move as an excuse for letting maik get one point above you. Your weak thats what. Just weak.

Shut up!! I know that.. (sorry had to add my ruthless hally thingy in this) XD

Also Bacon you saying that I has a question before I do something futile would it be alright for my clones to possibly defend against that or should I let them die or what? I didnt think anything of it cause it was a direct hit on my clones not me but still.
So Maik has one point above me and dev yikes

As those dudes in Happy Gilmore said, you're supposed to "Play it as it lies."

That said, normally auto-destroying opponents' attacks is okay, it depends on attacks. Though, I don't like to fight using stuff that can be manipulated any further than my attacks are manipulated. I don't even like making homing attacks, that are controlled by me, cause I feel it's cheap.

Anyways, if someone messes up in their turn, you are supposed to just let the mistake happen. They'll normally be penalized for that. If you erase the error and act like it doesn't happen, that would be manipulating time. Doing that would cause you to be penalized as well.

[Hally]

Not really sure what your saying exactly. My clones in the end where just prepping not attacking or anything so I am a little unsure on it.

As for your move it was fantastic. I shall counter soon. I am going to bed soon and when I get on later I will definatly counter. My problem now is coming up with a decent attack against you to two insane fighters.

[Maikeru D. Shinigami]

My bad, that's what I get for reading half asleep.

[Hally]

Yet you made that entire epic move half asleep? OMG what can you do when your awake? *walks away and hides behind a corner* XXDD

[Maikeru D. Shinigami]

It could have been better. I was mostly winging it. Most of the things I used with real world logic, which isn't something I do often. Like fiberglass being soundproof and whatnot. I could have just used the temperature shield for the hands probably. But I had reasons not to. For one, I think it would be completely lame to defend that entire pool of sp with just a temperature shield. For two, I believe in countering all moves, or as many moves as possible, to the best of my abilities. For three, I also figured they'd be stronger than the rest of it.

I was listening to Apocalyptica while writing and randomly decided I wanted a cello. Then I was like, "Oooh, I have a spider and harp string web, I can use that." xD

Lolz I am normally not picky about counters but how you counter will determine how many points you get etc I suppose so its good to be creative which you are. I think thats gotta earn you some massive points in this. And I cant believe you come up with this stuff at the spur of the moment just winging it. `:shock:
So I was asking bacon about the clones anyway and you confused me. Can they defend or should I let them die was basically my question? Not that I am really sure they anyway I would have to really think that one through O.o

[Maikeru D. Shinigami]

Well, I was thinking about all the categories and doing my best to put something awesome in there for each one. So, yeah. xD The temperature shield was just for the ground mainly.

The problem with them still being alive now, is that Dev already said he killed them. And you know, as Bacon said to Dev, it kind of messed up the flow of the battle. If it was me, I would leave them dead, otherwise Bacon might take off points for that. I mean, if you want to defend go ahead. But, considering they were already stated as dead, it's kind of like considering that move void.

Yea thats what I was thinking but wanted to make sure. Alright I got another plan then just all my prep went down the drain except for what I was doing. :lol:

[Bacon]

Devvy already lost points for his execution hally, just let them be and recover from it as best as you can. That being said, I am going to be harsher with each passing round, taking more points than I normally would for repetition and errors.

:P

@maik: Don't make me tl;dr you. :lol:

[Maikeru D. Shinigami]

Sorry, I was just trying to make it good.

[Hally]

Is almost done countering then I need to attack. Lolz thats a crazy amount of attacks considering I have to fend of you and dev. Yikes.

[Bacon]

I was joking maik, don't get your panties all bunched up. >.>

[Maikeru D. Shinigami]

Sweet! I hope it was good. I tried to combine some reason and strategy with cool powers that make Ace seem godly without overpowering him. :lol:

[Bacon]

Damage: Maik has taken some slight damage.

The human body is made of 60% water, you would be affected even if our ears were covered. That said, I'll it up to hally to clarify on the actual damage inflicted by the sound. Overall,the turn was even more impressive than the last one. I liked the innovation you added to your moves and the use of the mahjong tiles. Keep it up maik and be more careful next time. :P

[Devroux]

Like I said devvy, don't worry about your writing. You're not going to have fun if this is going through your head all the time," OMG I have to add more dialogue because that's what maik does"! " Oh shoot, maik added details to this and maik did that"! You need to find your own style of writing and have faith in it.

Good move dev, it was interesting how you maneuvered the spheres utilizing your own wind. As for the clones and spikes, that's a no-no to me. The spikes would be worn down by your own power and the clones die automatically screws with the flow of the fight. Technically it's not a god mod,but it is unnecessary to declare them as dead.
Wait... What?

How do the spikes get worn down? And why is the clone killing unnecessary?

Why would I want the fight to flow? Isn't the point of fighting supposed to be to mess your opponent up?

[Maikeru D. Shinigami]

Really? Don't you think this a little too technical? We're supposed to be having fun and my defense makes sense as it countered the sound and heat. =/ Also, this is fiction, I used my power to make an appropriate defense.

[Hally]

Bacon said he would be harsh thats all he said. I dun really care I am just in this for fun but I will give it a whirl. Almost done with my counter.

[Maikeru D. Shinigami]

I don't even get why how much water is in my body matters when it doesn't affect the move at all. Harsh it pretty ridiculous, we're all here to have fun right? We should be judged more on how fun our moves are too read, and less on facts affecting science that the average person wouldn't even understand, if it's even accurate at all. Why is there not even extra points for making impressive moves. I just want to have fun, I'm not here to be taught science and everything. I don't even understand this whole water in the body thing when the heat doesn't even enter my body.

I don't like this style of judging. Dev and Hally are more into just having fun too. I think we would all be happier just having this judged based off of the fun qualities and not becoming all ridiculously technical with it.

[Devroux]

I like having fun. I also like screwing up my opponent's prep work and screwing up their flow. Mine still works fine.

[Maikeru D. Shinigami]

All I'm saying is, these judgments are too technical. I don't even understand how the 60% body water makes sense. Am I supposed to have a Ph. D to understand a judgment on a site where the average user is 15 years old?

The way I see it, if I make a defense that makes sense, and say that it works, it works, and I would say the same if Hally or Dev defended against my attacks.

I also don't understand how using my three techniques to active my second release, using my spider and its web together to create my cello (which was my primary source of defense), plus reasoning that I should attack Dev less and Hally more to take them out of their element was worth only a 17 for strategy.

[Hally]

Both Ace and Dev counter my moves amazingly as my eyes widen. It was almost as if they didn't even have to struggle to counter my moves at all. I was very impressed and pretty sure I was going to have to step things up even more so knowing full well I am against two of the best fighters in the world. When I notice all my clones being attacked by Dev I know full well they will explode and they will explode big. In the chance that the explosion could reach me, my 50 extensions spiraling wrap around my already strong condensed rotational shield as they spread out in such a way wrapping around me entirely from head to toe to enhance my defense as they explosion will literally have no chance of getting past my defense as the force of the explosion will be easily deflected away. I will then release my extensions as they will continue to lash out into the distance as I remain fixated on the environment around me as well as my opponents knowing one slip up is enough to have me killed.

When Dev manages to blow my spheres toward me I am well aware of what he could be plotting since I know the power of my own spheres. Knowing this I simply pull my rotational sp in closer toward my body as I maintain control of its movements while the majority of the rotation is enhanced around my wings for the time being leaving only a thin layer around the rest of my body preparing for my ultimate defense. The spikes which have formed on my wings seemingly disappear from the front of them molding back together with my metallic wings with my metal manipulation. Due to having advanced sp control this happens exceptionally fast as my wings then wrap around my body creating a 3 layered exceptionally strong metallic defense of wings. Each set of wings (2 wings in a set) is enough to wrap around my entire body and with my metal manipulation the wings will wrap around me in such away to form a metallic dome. My other 2 sets of wings will do the same hence creating a very powerful multi layered defense. The outer edge is layered by a rotational sp which spirals tightly around the dome at intense speeds much like an intense hurricane force wind. This defense is extremely hard to penetrate."Doragonzu-nashi"

When the explosion happens it comes in contact with my dome as the majority of the explosion is literally forced away from me by the shear rotation of the dome itself however in the chance that the rotation was not enough to stop the brunt of the explosion my metal defense should be able to block the remainder of the explosion leaving me basically unharmed in the process as I will then unwrap my wings from my body and they will return back to normal after the explosion settles. However my extentions themselves still are lashing out but this time not from a rotational dome but from my metal armor itself. Each extension now is no longer pure sp based and is actually both a combo of my durable and strong metal and my highly condensed rotational sp. However the onslaught has yet to stop and now I need to defend against Ace attacks. For some odd reason Dev's attacks come shooting out toward me extremely fast from Ace's mirrors, each of my tails rise above me extremely fast as I the sp around the tips of my tails transfer into an elemental like form of energy.

If I had not been focused on everything around me fully aware of what was going on this could be a decent attempt as throwing me off guard but I am well aware that Ace's is quit the trickster so I wouldn't put it past him to do something so crazy. "Elemental Energy Transfer: Spiraling Microburtsts!" 10 highly condensed pressurized spiraling air blasts shoot out from the tips of my tails toward the 10 air frags. The result between the attacks colliding should be 10 deadly explosions which could in fact be dangerous for me. Knowing this I swiftly soar back away from the explosions while my extensions in such a unique way lash out in front of me combining and forming a large metallic shield covering me from head to toe curving above and below me slightly which will protect me from any explosion that could possibly reach me before I fly entirely away."Escudo Wall!" I then release my metal shield as it forms back into metal extensions lashing out from my body.

I then notice Ace is not even done attacking as he 2nd release. "Well damnit! Is this some kinda conspiracy to take me out 1st cause I seem to be attacked relentlessly." Knowing I cant let up yet I prepare for the most deadly attack yet. As I now remain even farther in the distance away from my opponents.When you shoot your strings of light toward me I raise one of my tails yet again and release a highly condensed black flames of spiraling energy toward your strings. The swiftly shoot out as I manipulate their moves in such away that they surround combine and engulf all your strings while colliding with them wrapping around them and imploding, causing the opposite of an explosion which is an implosion preventing them from coming in contact with me. The result should destroy both attacks but it is way less flashy and wont be a threat to me since it will remain contained rather then widespread. "Flames of Implosion" This way what could be a very bad explosion turns out to not be however the strength of an implosion is very destructive.

And still you are not done attacking me. Your dragons then shoot 2 beams toward me and two at Dev. I focus as 2 of my metal extensions release highly condensed beams of sp toward your beams which will result in a massive explosion which could harm me in the process. Knowing this my metallic extensions come together again creating a curved like wall in front of me covering me entirely and protecting me from the brunt of the explosion as I fly back into the distance."Escudo Wall!" I then notice Ace seemingly losing his mind as my eyes widen. "Thats..."

"What you don't think Ace had some kinda of Darkness hidden inside of him? That he was truly a good person? Is that why you hesitate silly Hally" the sininster voice snikers after she speaks.

"No way thats not possible. And shut up you don't know anything. Don't get involved"

"Then Hally imagine if he released that dark side within him. Imagine what that could mean. You are to hesitant your not even trying to kill them. If that is unleashed what could happen to your people. And your well aware of Dev's intentions as well."

"No way then are you saying. Ace is not that kind of person hes not the bad guy. Dev well......I dunno? Shut up!"

"I am saying the destruction of your precious kingdom, the slaughter of all the people you care about. This isn't a fun battle anymore Hally so stop pretending it is. Come on Hally just destroy them and devour there souls. People with that much power with no real loyalty to you are a threat."

"No......Way........then they must die. I swore to protect everyone. I swore I would never let something like the espada massacre happen again. Without your power it may not be possible. Help me fight this without showing mercy to my opponents so that I may take there lives without hesitation"

"Seems we have come to an agreement then lets take this fight to the next level shall we?"

I swiftly glare toward both of my opponents my blood lust almost seeming more vicious then before and prepare for my attacks as I soar above them mid range pointing my flaming blade down toward them both with my already prepped move as my pool of superheated thick liquid remains below us. I focus as 20 of my extensions detach from my armor and fall toward the ground as more extensions form to replace those that have been lost. The metal extensions fly past both of you and land in the swirling pool of liquid below. I then swing my blade down toward you both releasing a spiraling blast of flames which split into two separate massive deadly flames however are both extremely widespread creating a massive spiraling wave like shape. "Flames of Destruction: Deadly Inferno!" the flames head toward both of you as well as Aces dragons since they are near him in the attempt to engulf you all as they grow in intensity and strength with every passing second. These special flames use energy sources such as sp and reishi as their means of fuel and will grow more powerful feeding of the energy as there temperature will continue to rise as well. Since the level of sp in the air right now is very high and the reishi in HM is intense this enhances my flames greatly. If they hit you they will continue to feed of your sp growing into a large rotational inferno until they reach a peak and explode. However the explosion itself will still be extremely deadly as well but will no longer be able to feed of anymore energy and will dissipate after approximately 10 seconds. As for strong defenses the flames will just attempt to engulf them and attempt to create an oven like effect which can literally fry you to death without the flames touching you. Knowing this I soar back to gain my long range distance knowing full well that if the flames explode its going to create one heck of an explosion.

All the while the boiling and deadly liquid below is still active and continues to grow and the extensions within the liquid have combined together to create a ominous sinister like beast. However the beast is made up strictly of my energy and my special metal it is extremely dangerous. The massive lavaish like beast rises out of the pool snarling toward my opponents taking on the resemblance of a serpent like creature however this serpent has wings allowing it to be able to take flight. The metal from my extensions was manipulated in a way to surround this serpent with a metal like armor making it harder to simply destroy with an easy strike. The serpent is a manifestation of the darkness within my soul which I have suppressed for all these years. Although I am generally a kind and loving person I do have that inner evil waiting to be unleashed and sometimes it is unleashed as a dark energy that can take form into something terrifying. "Oscuras Serpentina"

The serpent flys into the air and encircles Ace swiftly. Its long massive body spiraling around him attempting to wrap around him and trap him while the serpents large mouth opens near the top of his head. The serpent made out of my deadly sp can burn your skin to a crisp on contact and has the strength to literally crush your bones if it traps you. On top of that spikes from the metal armor around the serpent will threaten to impale you all over your body leaving you fatally wounded in the chance that it begins to constrict around you and crush you. On top of that the serpent will open her mouth wide and attempt to devour your head and continue until you have been entirely devoured by the serpent itself. Once the serpent is done making her attacks on Ace she then focuses on Dev and attempts to make the exact same attack threatening to kill him in the process and devour him as well. All the while I remain far in the distance. Sepentina then flys toward me after her attacks and gets into a defensive stance awaiting for your attacks. All the while the pool below us continues to grow even more deadly and powerful with every passing second. My extentions continue to lash out from my armour as I wait to see what my opponents will do next. Althought my attacks may have seemed less then my previous move they are definatly extremely letal.

[Bacon]

@Maik:Sound travels through water, it doesn't matter if you covered your ears when your whole body is a conductor.

@Dev: Do you think it's ok to declare her clones dead? What if Hally was inclined to defend them?

As for me, I never meant to stomp on anyone's parade. I thought it would be fun if someone didn't kiss everyone's ass and really judge him on the content of their turn and not the length or humor. As for having fun, it's fun for me to read them and point out where you guys can improve,but I guess the judging is just for show?

/Reverts everyone's score to 100

[Maikeru D. Shinigami]

Yeah, but sound is a thing that is really only going to be harmful when taken through the ears. It's not like it has a taste or anything. If it goes in through the mouth, or another hole, it won't due more than just a little rattling. But really, a 15 for a defense that actually does take into account the style of moves? I mean, I even combined attacks that were destroyed (spiders and the harp string web) to create the cello which was used creatively as a defense and offense. I'm still kind of curious how strategy would be so low, when I had my character to use reasoning for multiple things. Including the way to defend against the liquefied heat + sound, the combination of three techniques to activate my second release. The combining of the harp web strings and the spider to create my cello that is used for multiple things. Also concluding that I should attack Hally and not Dev, to pull them out of their elements. I don't understand how that's only a 17 for strategy. I'm not arguing against being a more harsh judger, but it kind of throws us off because we are not all into being technical, we like being creative. That's our style. And you know, technicalities do happen, but I felt the move was a little overnitpicked. I'd rather be judged more on the creativity of the move along with a mixture of reasoning than crazy scientific technicalities.

Hally told me over PM that she thought my defense was great and actually intelligent because I used reason in countering her move.

You don't think you nitpick a little overzealously? Especially in a match where all three fight with more imagination and creativity than anything.

[Hally]

I did honeslty think Maiks Defence was fine. My resoning behind it was simply this:
Silly me. I never explained my sound wave moves the way I should have. Something like sound waves (will work on this for the future) needs a bit more descripton. I understand what you mean by the water thing cause Teddie mentioned something about it and so did noctis but I never stated my move could do that so I assumed Maiks counter was fine since I didnt state what I should have stated. How was he supposed to know what sound waves do exactly. I cant expect him to know that hense I should have explained it better. If I had of explained my sound waves to a more scientific extent then perhaps he would have had to come up with something else. So I honestly think it was my bad for not being specific enough. Still a deadly move but could have been even more deadly had I of used it correctly.

That being said. Sometimes being particular is alright and a good thing but needs a medium ground. I guess mabey toneing it down just a little would be alright. I do think dev should have attempted to hit my clones though since they are clones made to attack an defend. But that was minour and I could do something else anyway so its no biggie.

Bacon you are a very good judge just sometimes go a little overboard like I do with my job in rl. Then ppl get upset. I know you only want to help and your intentions are good but as a judge for a fun verse mabey just tone it down just a little. Just trying to help. I am too nice sometimes with judgeing I think and you can be too nit picky what we need is a middle ground in between the too if that makes any sense.

[Maikeru D. Shinigami]

She has a point, you know? I mean, we are only supposed to defend against what's in front of us. If I was at error for not completely defending the attack, there was also some error in the fact that Hally didn't point that out completely. I can't really be penalized for something that wasn't made clear.

I also like to add in extra credit points for a category I call "epic move".

But anyways, I think you can point out a miniature mistake without taking 3-5 points off for the mistake. I usually use a 95 as a base grading, and take off or add on based on that.

[Bacon]

This wasn't a big deal for me guys, I just thought it would be fun to make you guys sweat since the lowest score thus far was like a 92. I am never this picky when it comes to things in person or on a forum, I just wanted to try it out once.

Judging formula:
-Creativity is the user's variety of tactics and their ability to make it more than just a list of attacks.

-Defense: Simple, surviving gets you ten points. Not making any errors and setting yourself up with a flexible defense gives you a range from 1-10.

-Offense: How full proof your attack was. Linear attacks don't go higher than 7 or 8.

-Strategy: Pure and simple, your opponent did this; so now I am looking for what you did to stop turn that against them.

-Overall use of powers and skill: Your execution of powers during the turn, kinda like a rough average of everything else thus far.

[Maikeru D. Shinigami]

I think mine and Hally's idea on defense is the mostly the same. If you put up a good defense, that makes relative sense and say it works, then it works.

I think the big thing is that you said this move more epic than my last, but it was still two points lower. I was thinking I would get at least a 90 out of it, even with nitpicking.

Also, by my "epic move" category, it basically just covers a person's talent in a field. For instance, no matter what your talent is, science, math, writing, then you can get points. I also don't count off if someone can't figure out formulas and stuff anymore though, I more just point it out as a guidance and don't penalize at all. :P

[Hally]

Kinda curious as to know my score for my move anyway mr, bacon bitz. XD

[Bacon]

Let's give someone else a chance to judge hally. If no one does by tomorrow night, I will do it. :D

[Hally]

I pmed KG about it so hopefully he will.

[Maikeru D. Shinigami]

If he does, he better judge mine too. I'd hate to have a tough judging, and my opponents get an easygoing judging.

[Hally]

KG is going to judge the whole fight as well as danielle most likely I just talked to him in pm.

[Devroux]

So I'm back at home... Being grounded and whatnot... I get a half our now so I can't type my move. Hopefully I'll get it done tomorrow. v.v

I'll settle for reading and making a mental counter.

[Bacon]

I'm sorta surprised maik, I wouldn't give them an easy run lol. I just didn't get to them yet. xD

[kg gangster]

Unlike bacon the other judge and i will be judging in pm and just be posting the average. That way theres no issues. bacon from now just pm your judgements to me please

[Bacon]

Why pm them? If there is something wrong,the user has the right to contest it.

[kg gangster]

weren't u quiting because of such issues?

[Bacon]

I'm stepping back so others can judge ,but that's partially my fault and risk for judging. If you are going to judge a fight, you have to be prepared to justify your conclusion.

[kg gangster]

okay dokie.

[Devroux]

I agree with Bacon. Post our scores. We have a right to see what you're giving us.

Also, about my move, I'm not getting it done tonight and probably not tomorrow either. Mom's being a hard ass.

Sorry, loves.

[Hally]

Poor Devvy. I am willing to wait. I dont want you to be DQ cause that would ruin the fun. And yea I agree with bacon

[kg gangster]

Well I need makes decision on if he would be willing to wait or not

[Bacon]

Who would be willing to wait or not?

[Maikeru D. Shinigami]

I don't care. It'll give me a nice intermission.

[Bacon]

I'm glad because this fight is too good for DQ losses.

[kg gangster]

Good. ^^

[kg gangster]

how long do you all plan on giving him to counter?

[Devroux]

I'll probably get it done this weekend. I'm on now, but I have laundry and crap to do so I won't be hugely active.

[Hally]

That is fine with me Dev.

[Maikeru D. Shinigami]

I'm fine with whenever.

[Bacon]

[After 2 days of waiting]

While we hold our breath and await Devvy's move, shall I judge hally's move and re-evaluate maik's?

[Devroux]

Okay, I hoped to get it done, but the conditions just aren't right.

If I can get it done tomorrow after school, I will. Otherwise move on without me. Or move on now if you want. You guys are the ones that are waiting and it's unfair for me to dictate what you choose.

Sorry. For true.

[Hally]

Go ahead bacon
Dev I can wait.

[Hally]

Dev said in pm hes not countering. Maik it is your move then.

[Maikeru D. Shinigami]

I'll reply sometime soon. I'm pretty tired right now, and have been most of the day.

[Maikeru D. Shinigami]

Both Ace and Dev counter my moves amazingly as my eyes widen. It was almost as if they didn't even have to struggle to counter my moves at all. I was very impressed and pretty sure I was going to have to step things up even more so knowing full well I am against two of the best fighters in the world. When I notice all my clones being attacked by Dev I know full well they will explode and they will explode big. In the chance that the explosion could reach me, my 50 extensions spiraling wrap around my already strong condensed rotational shield as they spread out in such a way wrapping around me entirely from head to toe to enhance my defense as they explosion will literally have no chance of getting past my defense as the force of the explosion will be easily deflected away. I will then release my extensions as they will continue to lash out into the distance as I remain fixated on the environment around me as well as my opponents knowing one slip up is enough to have me killed.

When Dev manages to blow my spheres toward me I am well aware of what he could be plotting since I know the power of my own spheres. Knowing this I simply pull my rotational sp in closer toward my body as I maintain control of its movements while the majority of the rotation is enhanced around my wings for the time being leaving only a thin layer around the rest of my body preparing for my ultimate defense. The spikes which have formed on my wings seemingly disappear from the front of them molding back together with my metallic wings with my metal manipulation. Due to having advanced sp control this happens exceptionally fast as my wings then wrap around my body creating a 3 layered exceptionally strong metallic defense of wings. Each set of wings (2 wings in a set) is enough to wrap around my entire body and with my metal manipulation the wings will wrap around me in such away to form a metallic dome. My other 2 sets of wings will do the same hence creating a very powerful multi layered defense. The outer edge is layered by a rotational sp which spirals tightly around the dome at intense speeds much like an intense hurricane force wind. This defense is extremely hard to penetrate."Doragonzu-nashi"

When the explosion happens it comes in contact with my dome as the majority of the explosion is literally forced away from me by the shear rotation of the dome itself however in the chance that the rotation was not enough to stop the brunt of the explosion my metal defense should be able to block the remainder of the explosion leaving me basically unharmed in the process as I will then unwrap my wings from my body and they will return back to normal after the explosion settles. However my extentions themselves still are lashing out but this time not from a rotational dome but from my metal armor itself. Each extension now is no longer pure sp based and is actually both a combo of my durable and strong metal and my highly condensed rotational sp. However the onslaught has yet to stop and now I need to defend against Ace attacks. For some odd reason Dev's attacks come shooting out toward me extremely fast from Ace's mirrors, each of my tails rise above me extremely fast as I the sp around the tips of my tails transfer into an elemental like form of energy.

If I had not been focused on everything around me fully aware of what was going on this could be a decent attempt as throwing me off guard but I am well aware that Ace's is quit the trickster so I wouldn't put it past him to do something so crazy. "Elemental Energy Transfer: Spiraling Microburtsts!" 10 highly condensed pressurized spiraling air blasts shoot out from the tips of my tails toward the 10 air frags. The result between the attacks colliding should be 10 deadly explosions which could in fact be dangerous for me. Knowing this I swiftly soar back away from the explosions while my extensions in such a unique way lash out in front of me combining and forming a large metallic shield covering me from head to toe curving above and below me slightly which will protect me from any explosion that could possibly reach me before I fly entirely away."Escudo Wall!" I then release my metal shield as it forms back into metal extensions lashing out from my body.

I then notice Ace is not even done attacking as he 2nd release. "Well damnit! Is this some kinda conspiracy to take me out 1st cause I seem to be attacked relentlessly." Knowing I cant let up yet I prepare for the most deadly attack yet. As I now remain even farther in the distance away from my opponents.When you shoot your strings of light toward me I raise one of my tails yet again and release a highly condensed black flames of spiraling energy toward your strings. The swiftly shoot out as I manipulate their moves in such away that they surround combine and engulf all your strings while colliding with them wrapping around them and imploding, causing the opposite of an explosion which is an implosion preventing them from coming in contact with me. The result should destroy both attacks but it is way less flashy and wont be a threat to me since it will remain contained rather then widespread. "Flames of Implosion" This way what could be a very bad explosion turns out to not be however the strength of an implosion is very destructive.

And still you are not done attacking me. Your dragons then shoot 2 beams toward me and two at Dev. I focus as 2 of my metal extensions release highly condensed beams of sp toward your beams which will result in a massive explosion which could harm me in the process. Knowing this my metallic extensions come together again creating a curved like wall in front of me covering me entirely and protecting me from the brunt of the explosion as I fly back into the distance."Escudo Wall!" I then notice Ace seemingly losing his mind as my eyes widen. "Thats..."

"What you don't think Ace had some kinda of Darkness hidden inside of him? That he was truly a good person? Is that why you hesitate silly Hally" the sininster voice snikers after she speaks.

"No way thats not possible. And shut up you don't know anything. Don't get involved"

"Then Hally imagine if he released that dark side within him. Imagine what that could mean. You are to hesitant your not even trying to kill them. If that is unleashed what could happen to your people. And your well aware of Dev's intentions as well."

"No way then are you saying. Ace is not that kind of person hes not the bad guy. Dev well......I dunno? Shut up!"

"I am saying the destruction of your precious kingdom, the slaughter of all the people you care about. This isn't a fun battle anymore Hally so stop pretending it is. Come on Hally just destroy them and devour there souls. People with that much power with no real loyalty to you are a threat."

"No......Way........then they must die. I swore to protect everyone. I swore I would never let something like the espada massacre happen again. Without your power it may not be possible. Help me fight this without showing mercy to my opponents so that I may take there lives without hesitation"

"Seems we have come to an agreement then lets take this fight to the next level shall we?"

I swiftly glare toward both of my opponents my blood lust almost seeming more vicious then before and prepare for my attacks as I soar above them mid range pointing my flaming blade down toward them both with my already prepped move as my pool of superheated thick liquid remains below us. I focus as 20 of my extensions detach from my armor and fall toward the ground as more extensions form to replace those that have been lost. The metal extensions fly past both of you and land in the swirling pool of liquid below. I then swing my blade down toward you both releasing a spiraling blast of flames which split into two separate massive deadly flames however are both extremely widespread creating a massive spiraling wave like shape. "Flames of Destruction: Deadly Inferno!" the flames head toward both of you as well as Aces dragons since they are near him in the attempt to engulf you all as they grow in intensity and strength with every passing second. These special flames use energy sources such as sp and reishi as their means of fuel and will grow more powerful feeding of the energy as there temperature will continue to rise as well. Since the level of sp in the air right now is very high and the reishi in HM is intense this enhances my flames greatly. If they hit you they will continue to feed of your sp growing into a large rotational inferno until they reach a peak and explode. However the explosion itself will still be extremely deadly as well but will no longer be able to feed of anymore energy and will dissipate after approximately 10 seconds. As for strong defenses the flames will just attempt to engulf them and attempt to create an oven like effect which can literally fry you to death without the flames touching you. Knowing this I soar back to gain my long range distance knowing full well that if the flames explode its going to create one heck of an explosion.

All the while the boiling and deadly liquid below is still active and continues to grow and the extensions within the liquid have combined together to create a ominous sinister like beast. However the beast is made up strictly of my energy and my special metal it is extremely dangerous. The massive lavaish like beast rises out of the pool snarling toward my opponents taking on the resemblance of a serpent like creature however this serpent has wings allowing it to be able to take flight. The metal from my extensions was manipulated in a way to surround this serpent with a metal like armor making it harder to simply destroy with an easy strike. The serpent is a manifestation of the darkness within my soul which I have suppressed for all these years. Although I am generally a kind and loving person I do have that inner evil waiting to be unleashed and sometimes it is unleashed as a dark energy that can take form into something terrifying. "Oscuras Serpentina"

The serpent flys into the air and encircles Ace swiftly. Its long massive body spiraling around him attempting to wrap around him and trap him while the serpents large mouth opens near the top of his head. The serpent made out of my deadly sp can burn your skin to a crisp on contact and has the strength to literally crush your bones if it traps you. On top of that spikes from the metal armor around the serpent will threaten to impale you all over your body leaving you fatally wounded in the chance that it begins to constrict around you and crush you. On top of that the serpent will open her mouth wide and attempt to devour your head and continue until you have been entirely devoured by the serpent itself. Once the serpent is done making her attacks on Ace she then focuses on Dev and attempts to make the exact same attack threatening to kill him in the process and devour him as well. All the while I remain far in the distance. Sepentina then flys toward me after her attacks and gets into a defensive stance awaiting for your attacks. All the while the pool below us continues to grow even more deadly and powerful with every passing second. My extentions continue to lash out from my armour as I wait to see what my opponents will do next. Althought my attacks may have seemed less then my previous move they are definatly extremely letal.

Just to find this easier.

[Hally]

Alright no rush. Counter when ever you can.

[kg gangster]

So did the tourney die in the last round? :lol:

[Bacon]

They has lives. :lol:

[Maikeru D. Shinigami]

It has a lot to do with me being absorbed into baseball season.

[kg gangster]

Well do it up I'll check back in a month :lol:
Redsox rule

[Maikeru D. Shinigami]

For a team that rules their record looks a lot like 2-9. >.>

Not that my Rays are all that much higher.

[Devroux]

Yankees.

[kg gangster]

Typical and they are over rated and over payed. Additionally they tart their fans like Garbo

[Cyl]

This won't end :D

[Bacon]

I blame you cyl.

[Devroux]

Typical and they are over rated and over payed. Additionally they tart their fans like Garbo
Over rated and over payed because they're richer and can afford more. |shrugs| I don't know what "tart" or "Garbo" is.

[Bacon]

BFV's last huzzah. xD

[kg gangster]

It made it to the last round. That's good enuff for me.

RIP BFV *moment of silence*

I meant treat but I missed hitting the "E". And garbo is garbage.

[Devroux]

That makes A LOT more sense. lol

[Hally]

bumpo.......................................

[Maikeru D. Shinigami]

Can we just call it the match here and judge what we have? By the time I got to my move, I had pretty much gotten bored from waiting. And now I don't have really any motivation to continue on with any RPs or games.

[Bacon]

I can judge it if ye like.

[Devroux]

Does that somehow mean I can still win!?

[kg gangster]

No you willingly withdrew from the fight.

I have my judging for the first two turns done. Just gotta do the rest
