"Don't get cocky yet!" Nephilim yelled as she flipped to face him, her weapon dragging and slowing her from hitting the arena. Another trick she'd learned after fighting as a Brandish. She spun once and swung her ax.

"You expect to hit me from there?!" He asked incredulously as it approached him, easily going to fall short. Nephilim smiled as she slid her hands to the very end of her weapon in mid swing. The very sure of himself Grappler soon was a very surprised and hurt Grappler as her weapon hit him across the chest and tossed him across the Arena.

"Yes, I do." She ran toward him as he was getting up and swung down, just hitting him as he rolled aside. A red aura blinked around his weakened body as he got to his feet. Nephilim hefted her massive weapon to the ready but waited. "So, do you still think you can win? Still think yourself all big and invincible like you showed when you walked in here?" She asked as he ran at her and attacked her with a flurry of punches, just as she;d expected and leapt high and came down with her Ax to ward him off.

She continued playing her mind games with the Grappler and avoiding his attacks. She inadvertently took a few hits, but she knew that would happen. She had plenty of HP, unlike her now rather angry opponent. He was making mistakes now as she goaded and preached at him. She was merely waiting for the right time. The moment she'd have him.

Unfortunately, that time came for her first. Pain hit her body and swirled through her guts like liquid flame. If it wasn't for the fact she hadn't eaten or drunk anything yet that day she might have thought herself poisoned like in the books she read. Her character stopped in place to Wolfeye's delight as he attacked her before setting off a Rengeki finish. One massive punch hit her in the chest and bounced her off the wall.

As she laid on the ground, the pain mostly died away, allowing her to move again as Wolfeye approached her. Her hand balled into a fist and she jumped to one knee, swinging upward to force him back. She was outlined in a pink light though she didn't seem to notice. She swung again and Rengeki finish appeared though she missed.

"Rengeki!!" Inside the arena, it went black suddenly. This was not a normal Rengeki, that much was for sure. She charged forward and slashed him brutally several times. "Ougi!" She cried as she slashed twice more, leaving a massive 'X' of blazing data across him and the skin of The World itself before raising it over her head. "X-splitter!" Her ax came down, splitting him and the 'X' with a downward strike. The arena returned to normal as Wolfeye fell to the ground, greyed out.

"The winner!! Nephilim!!" The Announcer yelled as she stopped glowing and put her weapon away. The pain hadn't faded and she seemed slightly out of it. The people outside the arena only saw her slashes, not the darkening or the finish. No one, save Uraki. Nephilim looked on pure instinct to her Harvester friend before being gated to a waiting room.

Uraki looked around herself as the aren asuddenly darkened, but no one else seemed to notice. She looked back at the battle and watched as Nephilim made the spectacular finish on her oponent. There was a slight, awed silence, then it was broken by the screams and cheers of Players. Uraki was worried when Nephilim fell, but she was glad she stood as strong and proud as she always did now.

For a second, their eyes met each other, then Nephilim disappeared. Uraki gulped and her legs gave way underneath her and she fell backwards into her seat. She was hesitating wether to go to the Waiting Room or not. She wasn't sure she wanted to see anyone yet. She knew she was bein a coward, she knew she was being stupid...but even so...

That girl has good instincts and skill.
Of course she does. She's Nephilim.
You know you should meet everyone else again. You can't live avoiding them.
I know...I guess I should after all...but I cna't leave Rin here.
I never said now, did I? I just said you should meet them. Go when you're ready. Take your time, just don't run away.
...Right.

Uraki sighed with relief, she knew Nephilim would be alright now. But her insides churned, how could she fight anyone at her level? She was just a Harvest, so she didn't have very many offensive spells. opefully...something may look up to help her. Hopefully, she wouldn't lose. She wanted to prove her strength, she didn't want to run away.

"Even if I have to fight in an Arena like this..." Uraki whispered to herself and looked at the Arena platform. "...I will become stronger...I'll prove myself...to all of you," she said as flashbacks of the past formed in her mind.

They were the ones that fought and saved this world...but I just...
I was just weak...I couldn't help them, I couldn't do anything in the end...I want to change, I don't want to be protected anymore...

Then find your strength and let it grow. Show everyone you're more than just a Healer.

"From her appearance, one would think of her as a steam gunner, but instead she's a brandish like me. The only difference is, where I like to use the rapid hit weapons... she appears to like the high powered charge blades and axes." Chaos says to himself calmly as he relaxes himself, waiting for the next fight.

"Dex... it's time to see why Shadow was so interested in him..." Chaos thinks to himself calmly as he sits down and waits for the fight to begin.

"AND NOW WE WILL BEGIN THE SECOND MATCH OF THE TOURNAMENT!" The announcer yelled and expanded his arms wide with a big smile.

Glace kept starring at the big screen on top of the Arena entrence. He had realized he had remained completely still during the entire fight. I guess the fight was really good.He thought happilly. Then Glace turned to look at Dex who was smiling at the screen. Dex must have felt a little proud of Nephilim. He knew he would face her eventually and it almost seemed like he couldn't wait.

"It's time for you to register for the second match, Dex. I wish you the best of luck and I hope you enjoy yourself out there aswell."

Dark Room


"We are receiving the data that we were able to gather from that character, Nephilim, Sir." The steamgunner spoke.

"I see. Tell me, what do you think of her? That Nephilim character. As I recall, she was the one who that AI looked up as a guardian. We need to know what she has that sparked that AI's attention and will to call her...a so just Guardian." The man in the chair replied.

"Nephilim? Well...shes got skill, I give you that. And determination aswell." The steamgunner said.

The blue Blade brandeir stood besides him, completely lost in thought as he kept looking at the screen. "The second match will be starting soon..."He muttered.

"I'll get back on the program to make sure we get the information we need on the next player, Dex." The steamgunner said and shortly after, vanished in a flurry of blue rings.

"It's time for you to register for the second match, Dex. I wish you the best of luck and I hope you enjoy yourself out there as well." Glace said.
"Thanks, but this looks like it wont be to hard."
Dex walked down to counter and registered, after a few moments both Dex and a Dance Macabre named Sonek were in the arena.
As soon as the match began Dex launched a flurry of punches.
"Hope you dont mind Sonek, but I want to make an good impression on everybody so I'll finish this quick." Dex says as he continues his assault.

((OOC: I'll also be controlling Sonek as suggested by Dimitri. ))


Instantly, Dex dashed straight towards Sonek and piled him with punches, depleting his HP dangersoully low. Sonek managed to jump away from the attack and jump one more time, to be more farther away from Dex.

Sonek began to gasp for air and then regained his posture. "Damn...his too strong..." He muttered and took out his fans, revealing beatifully drawn cherry blossoms on both his weapons. But I can't give up myself.

The dance macabre made his way towards Dex, and when it seemed like he was about to attack head on, he jumped aboved Dex and when he had reached just the right angle, he released a combination of two strong fan strikes right on top of Dex, knocking him down for a while.

Once Sonek reached the floor, and got into battle position once more, he darted towards the damaged Dex in hopes of winning. "Haaaaaaaaa!"

Xiruk was to captivated in the to pay attention to the people around him. The fight was so breath taking. The Girl took the lead, keeping her foe off guard. ZOW! WOW! POW! The guy countered with a rengenki sending the girl flying across the arena. Xiruk always thought it was weird that you could almost anything flying with just a few hits but then WAPOW the girl gets back up and obliterates the boy.

“Oiiiiiiiyyyyyyyyy” Xiruk screamed at the top of his lungs as the match ended. A few people around him muttered the word idiot in classic English or some the growing trend of using Baka instead.

Xiruk was pumped he wanted the next fight to start and now. Heck the way things were going Xiruk might have be daring enough to start Zeit Union after this battle. Sure he’d gotten another guild key, he’d already been given one for Kestrel from one of his friends in real life…but that guild had to many Pk’s for Xiruk’s taste to be somewhere to frequent…even though it did have an awesome custom area.

Then the next fight began with a bang and Xiruk cheered even louder producing more insults from people around him. Clearly most of the people around him had no spirit.

Dex had been waiting for Sonek to get close.
"Your not bad, but I'm WAY out of your league."
Dex's body glowed showing he was preparing for a special.
"King Hammer!"
The punches hit there mark depleting the last of Sonek's health.
"Your not bad, I guess it was just bad luck you ran into me so soon."
Sonek fell to the ground.
"After you get stronger, I'd love to fight you again."
Lights flashed around them and they were gated out.

Nephilim sat in the waiting room watching Dex's fight. Well, more like she was trying to watch the fight. Her guts still hurt and it felt like she could be sick at any moment. Every now and then, pain would quickly flicker through her body and then disappear.

"Maybe I should log out... But then that means I'd have to forfeit and I don't want after all this..." She gasped as pain ran through her for a moment and passed. She hugged her arms to her body and continued to watch. She needed some strategy to beat Dex, who was twice her level. "What? It ended? So much for that plan..."

"Yay! She won!" Rin cheered excitedly. She was standing up again, almost leaning over the edge of the stands, though her chracter was so small she had to stand on tip-toe to do this. She hadn't been this excited in a while, and she had almost completely forgotten about Ren teasing her again.
The Multi-Weapon looked suprised as Nephilim looked in their direction, though only for a moment.
"Hmm?" said Rin, tilting her head in confusion, "Was she looking at you Uraki-san?" she asked, as Uraki fell back into her seat.
Rin was looking at her new friend in concern. She was too subduded to focus on the next macht, which ended very quickly.

"THIS WAS ONE HASTY MATCH, WASN'T IT? WELL, GUESS WE SHOULD PREPARE FOR THE THIRD MATCH OF THE DAY!!!! The announcer once again yelled with joy to the crowd.

Glace jumped out of cheer happyness when he saw Sonek drop to the ground and vanish from the battle area. "Yea! Dex was waay to powerful to get beaten by a dancer!"

Suddenlly, a player approached Glace from behind and put his arm on Glace'es shoulder. "Hey, you, you shouldn't insult Dance Macabre, you know. I happen to be one."

Glace immediatly turned around and noticed a tall werewolf player who was dressed rather oddly. Wearing what seemed like a robe of some kind and alot of rings and bracelets aswell.

"Ah-...well. I wasn't.....really insulting the guy, I just...well." Glace studdered as he talked and was starting to sweat and rub his neck. The tall dance macabre sighed and turned away. "Whatever, dude. Just watch what you say next time. Never know who will be hearing your words." Then the stranger walked away.

Glace was completely paralyzed and embarassed by what had just occured.

You and your stupid big mouth, Glace. He thought and sighed.

AND NOW TO BEGIN THE THIRD MATCH! PREPARE YOURSELFS, EVERYONE, FOR ANOTHER EXCITING MATCH!

The loud voice of the announcer could be heard loudy from the screen aswell. Glace turned around and began to look at the screen again.

I can't belive it. Dex and Nephilim are going to fight! This is so exciting. Although it may seem like Nephilim won't stand a chance against Dex, I think her determination and skill will help her fight for a while. At least longer than Sonek did...hehe.

“OiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiY” Xiruk screamed even louder as the final blow was dealt, that Dancer didn’t have a chance. Now the two winners were going to duke it out and that fight was going to be even more thrilling. Xiruk was totally engrossed in what was going on. This fight was going to so awesome he almost couldn’t contain it.

Nephilim's head jerked up and She blinked to clear her eyes. She wasn't feeling the best and her guts still hurt. "It's time. This is it..." She stood up and gated to the arena floor. Once there, she turned her eyes to Uraki once more. Meeting her eyes, she smiled and looked to the place Dex should be appear. Reaching back, she pulled out her Ax and held it ready. She was fast for a Brandish, but a high level Grappler would be faster.

The next match ended in a flash. Uraki was thinking, only then did she notice it was already over. She stiffened as Nephilim entered the Arena, then looked at her again. But Dex and Nephilim...she wondered who would prevail. It was definately a tough decision. A fast Brandish against a faster Grappler. Still, determination was all that remained. Whoever had the most passion...that's who would prevail.

Uraki suddenly felt sick. She didn't hear Rin who seemingly was worried about her, she didn't hear the announcer or the cheering crowd. Everything was going silent around her. Suddenly, she heard a single, clear note in her ears and the area in which she stood in suddenly turned pure white.

"Wha--huh?" Uraki said aloud and looked around herself. The only thing that was around her was a blank, white space. Suddenly, the bright white changed too quickly to a pitch black. She was afraid, not knowing what happenned OR what was going on. She blinked and saw a silouhette of a person, outlined in bright red light.

Suddenly, Uraki blinked again to find herself in the Arena stands once again. "Did something happen just now...?" She asked and stared at Rin, her eyes wide. What was that...? she looked back at the Arena. Dex hadn't arrived yet. She sighed and sank back into her chair. She felt dizzy and her head hurt again.

Uraki was worried. Her match would be after this one...the victorious Player...would definately beat her. But even so, she knew she couldn't back out. Even if she had to grovel on the ground, even if she was shamed forever. She would definately prove her strength. To her allies...to herself...and to 'Him'.

"I won't let you down...Minoshiya." Uraki whispered and clenched her right hand tightly as she waited for the next match to begin.

"Something happen...?" Rin said, looking innocenlty bewildered, her mismatched eyes wide, "No, I don't think so. I mean... I didn't notice anything."
Rin looked even more concerned, studying Uraki closely, "Are you sure your alright? Maybe you need to lie down? Oh, but your match is next, isn't it? So you cant... Oh...." The Wolf-Girl looked distressed.. She didn't know what to suggest.
"Oh... that Nephilim person's back!" she said, unconsiously changing the subject, "You seem to know her, Uraki-san. Am I right?"

"Yes...she and I are friends," Uraki said to Rin and looked at her. For some reason, she felt bad for her. She didn't think Rin was having as much fun as she looked...but still, it wasn't her place to think what others were feeling.

...Hikaru, was that you?
Who knows?
This is no time for jokes...
Well, it was your vision, not mine.
Yet you know I had one.

After that, there was no reply. Uraki guessed the answer was "yes". Still, there were too many mysteries unsolved...she knew this wasn't going to be the end. Even after the Locked incident...there seemed to be things happening behind the scenes...again.

"Are you enjoying yourself?" Uraki asked and turned her head to look at Rin and smiled.

"W-what? Oh! Yes, I am!" Rin replied cheerfully, quickly wiping the concerned look from her face. She smiled at Uraki, then turned to face the Arena again. Dex hadn't shown up yet.
Carefully, so that no-one would notice her doing it, Rin lifted the FMD off of her head, and looked at a small clock next to the computer. How long had she been playing?
She looked around the dark room for any sign of Ren, sighing with relief when she couldn't see her. Ren could easily kick her off and have a go anytime now...
Rin placed the FMD back on, hoping no-one did notice, and gazed eagerly at the arena.
