Another day....

[sephiroth]

The roaring crowds.....the raging screams flooding the coliseum.....A true ambiance of excitement. To most, this would be the case. However, not in the case for the lone man standing in the center of the arena. He stood there in wait as he flipped his long, silver hair. His cloak fluttering in the breeze. He stood and looked onwards towards his opponents. How boring it was. A single group of about twenty or so Samurai Nobodies. If Sephiroth really wanted to, he could have just destroyed them in a single motion. Even against the Samurai Nobodies he could. However, he was told if he actually wanted to talk to Hades, he would have to lengthen this out and impress him as he watched the matches.

Sephiroth knew he would play along for now. In the end, he would get his way so why not have some fun with the weak. Soon enough, the tone drilled into the audience, signaling the start of the match. Sephiroth chuckled as they soon charged him. They wanted him to lengthen it, Sephiroth didn't mind too much. One soon approached him. Not even bothering to draw his blade, Sephiroth stared on as a Samurai Nobody swung his blade horizontally at Sephiroth's head. Sephiroth blocked the blade with his bare hand and used the other swiftly. Landing a brutal strike into the side of the Nobody, Sephiroth quickly used his other hand while the Nobody was stunned. Sliding his hand down and spun the blade, bare handedly without the hilt, slammed the blade into the Nobody. It soon vanished in it's demise as the others looked in curiosity.

Sephiroth sighed as he looked upwards towards the idiot that told him to slow the match down. He shook his head as he drew the Masamune from his sheath and swiftly blocked a Samurai Nobody's attempt to impale him from behind. Slowly sliding the blade outwardly against the Nobody's, chuckling as he did this. In a swift move, Sephiroth swung his blade vertically, sending the Nobody off balance. Turning to a 180, Sephiroth spun his blade downward so it was horizontal and pointing downwards, swiftly impaling the off-guard Nobody behind him fatally, ending his existence. Sephiroth shook his head as his patience wore thin. He looked up once more as the idiot gave him a thumbs up. "Finally." Sephiroth said in relief as soon enough, Sephiroth's hand glowed yellow. "Thundaga."

Sephiroth said as soon enough, a massive blot of electricity exploded in the middle of the group of Nobodies, the explosive wave sending them in the air. Sephiroth chuckled slightly as they flew in the air. He then vanished and reappeared at the other end of arena, Masamune in it's sheath. He smirked as he clicked it in it's sheath and at that, a single slash appeared across the bodies of the Nobodies, cutting them in half as they fell to the ground. They fully disappeared before hitting the ground as Sephiroth sighed and looked up. The Idiot from before then took a mike and began yelling towards the Arena. "And there you have it folks. What skill, what power, what Finesse. Is there anything or anybody that can stop him? Anybody at all that feels they can do so, please step forward right now!!!"

[kujitsu]

As the crowd watched intently to see if anyone else would take up the challnge. And after am minute or so, a strange noise was heard, and Kujitsu appeared with his back to Sephiroth.

"Yes!! I got it right! I finally got to the right world!" he punched the air, smiling, and he turned around, only to see Sephiroth on the other side of the arena.

"We have a challenger! Can he stand up to his opponent?"

"What?!I didn't sign up for this!" said Kujitsu.
He then realized he was in for a fight, so he summoned his keyblade and took a defensive stance.

[sephiroth]

Sephiroth blinked a couple of times at the child in the arena in front of him. He stared up towards Hades and sighed. "Fair enough, kill a kid I might as well." Sephiroth said as he chuckled staring at the blade he held. A Keyblade? This may prove challenging or not at all. No matter, I am curious. I shall see if his strength is worth my time. Sephiroth thought as he stared down towards the child. "You seem surprised to see me....." Sephiroth said towards him as his hand glowed. Sephiroth chuckled a bit as he glanced towards the roaring crowds. He shook his head as soon enough, he placed his hand on the ground.

".....Let's see what you are capable of." Sephiroth said as he lifted his hand, now glowing a distinct white. "Wallga." Sephiroth said as over his skin, a powerful layer of protective magic garnered over him. Sephiroth looked into the crowd and found a massive bowl of fire. He drew his Masamune and chuckled as he pointed at it. "Gaia Blade." Sephiroth said as soon enough, the flames from the bowl poured into his Masamune, turning it a pure red and the heat from it being clearly noticed. "Show me what you got, kid." Sephiroth said as he powerfully swung his blade, scraping across the ground. The force of his swing and the intense heat of his blade causing Sephiroth to send large chunks of melting rock towards Kujitsu rapidly.

[kujitsu]

Having barely any time to respond, Kujitsu jumped in the air. He marveled at the way this guy could use that sword so effectively. But that put him off the fact that he may have dodged the sword's sweep, but the rocks still managed to hit his foot. He caught himself in mid-air, as the rock hit him. Fortunately, his shoe made the heat not as bad, but it still hurt. He moaned lightly and pain before swapping to an offensive stance. He took aim at Sephiroth and closed one eye for precision.

Thinking he had got the aim right, he fired a few (around 6) small laser shots, before dropping to the ground and running around the side of the arena. He was worried by the large sword, so he kept one eye on Sephiroth as he warped to the sky above him, readying more laser shots, he fired another few (only 3 this time) and then charged up a larger one and fired at Sephiroth's feet.
Whilst this was going on, he was planning to attack as much as possible from as far away as possible.

OOC: Sorry bout that last post. But "nature" called o.O

[sephiroth]

Sephiroth chuckled at the display of technique the kid showed. He wasn't impressed yet. "Stopga." Sephiroth uttered as he stopped everything around him for a second. He watched as all the lasers stood in front of him. He used his sword like a mirror and changed the direction of all the lasers to aim directly in the directions Kujitsu decided to move in. The only one he didn't touch was the large one. He chuckled slightly as he canceled Stopga, letting the laser hit his feet. All it did however was disrupt his Wallga and negate him from defending with it for now.

Sephiroth dashed forward away as the lasers moved back in the directions he figured his opponent would go to. He smirked lightly as he stood away from his opponent. "Is that all?" Sephiroth said with a chuckle as his hand glowed a distinct Silver. "Reflectga." Sephiroth simply said as a clearly visible, silver-like aura surrounded Sephiroth. "You can't fight from distance against me until this spell wears off. So quit running and show me what skills you truly have Keyblader. Prove your worthy of possessing such a formidable weapon." Sephiroth said coldly towards Kujitsu with a look of boredom in his expression.

Sephiroth laughed a little to himself as his he noted the warping abilities of his opponent. He had some skills worth paying attention to but, was waiting to be impressed by his opponent. He soon held his Masamune and stood in an offensive position oddly enough, letting onto Kujitsu to know he would attack soon, merely a mental game. He only held the Masamune with one hand to further instigate Kujitsu with his other hand, using it to instruct Kujitsu to approach him.

[stitches]

Seifer had planned on competiting today,but unfortunately he had come a tad too late. He walked down the stairs of the coliseum in awe of the current fight that was taking place and sat down in an open seat,so close to the action he could probably throw a pebble and possibly hit their feet. He slowly reclined in his seat to get comfortable and watch the continuation of the fight.

[kujitsu]

Swerving to avoid the reflected lasers, Kujitsu caught himself in mid air and looked down at Sephiroth. This guy was seriously strong, he'd have to go all out...but even that might not be enough here. He took a more offensive stance than before, and began to think of a plan. After about 15 seconds or so, he had got one, which he hoped was good enough to even get a hit in, so he twirled the keyblade and then glided down slightly to the right side.

He saw his chance. He hurled the keyblade as far as he could, in a strike raid, straight at Sephiroth. It was a dodgy throw, missing him. It was a poor throw...or was it? The correct answer was that Kujitsu delibrately mis-threw so he could attack Sephiroth at close range quickly. So, he warped to the other side of him, grabbed the keyblade and swung at Sephiroth's back, ready to warp away again after the move was executed. The move he just used was one of his own creation, it wasn't the strongest, but it was very accurate.

[sephiroth]

"Clever but, Not good enough. Maybe against an amateur or those useless Heartless that would have worked hehehe." Sephiroth said as he saw the strategy. Already noting the warping abilities and seeing the obvious miss. He spun around and blocked the attack from Behind. "I'm no amateur child. I am already aware of your warping abilities by now." Seeing a need to inform his opponent of this so the fight could actually start. Sephiroth chuckled as he used one hand with his blade, Showing his physical strength just by being at equal. Sephiroth smirked as he took an angled in step on Kujitsu while holding the blocked blade off.

"I will tell you this child, your only chance of survival is proving your worth of that blade. Otherwise, I will leave your corpse upon this arena floor." Sephiroth said coldly as he held up his other hand and it began to glow a distinct gray. "Sin Harvest." Sephiroth said as soon enough, a large among of black energy flowed around the field and formed into swords all around the arena. Sephiroth began to chuckle once more staring down his opponent. "Let's see your talents now at their finest. No longer will you be able to depend on just your warping skills. Now, show me your strength." Sephiroth said with an evil smile on his face as their blades entwined for the moment.

Soon enough However, Sephiroth only proved his was just getting started as he violently swung his sword in a diagonal direction with great force, purposely wishing to render the balance of Kujitsu. "Mirrormasa." Sephiroth said as soon enough, Illusions of Sephiroth appeared around Kujitsu mimicking Sephiroth's own movements. They soon then all did something different. The real one slashing diagonally downwards, one vertically, one horizontally, and one in a stabbing motion. All of them glowing with that silver glimmer from Reflectga. Sephiroth performed all of these slashes it seemed at once as he wondered what his new opponent would do.

[kujitsu]

There was too many swords to even attempt a block, so Kujitsu had to think fast. He shoved his keyblade inb the air and yelled "SHIFT!" and as he did, the entire area swapped around. Or rather the Sephiroth's ended up on a piece of land surrounded by a hole, with one of them in the middle of the rest, whilst Kujitsu was sitting on the otherside of the stadium. He had effectively got out of the way, but due to the sheer number of swords, he hadn't completely dodged. There was a gash on his left arm. So he patched it up with some torn paper quickly, before resuming his offensive stance.

He then saw the other swords hovering omniously around the area, so before they could do anything about him, he warped infront of Sephiroth, but still about a meter out of swining distance. He then twirled the keyblade and quickly stabbed...a seemingly useless motion, but a small rift open up in front of him, and the keyblade's blade went through it, emrging on the other side of Sephiroth, about to stab his back.

[sephiroth]

Sephiroth chuckled as he listened intently to the word and noted the effects with a smile. He noticed the gash on the child's arm and shook his head. He saw him appear directly in front of him and stab nothing. Sephiroth was no fool. Soon enough however, the stab directly hit Sephiroth and soon after, went completely through him with ease. Too much ease actually. In the time it took Kujitsu to appear in front of Sephiroth, he had already switched places with one of his illusions and chuckled as it went through. "For someone that can be anywhere at anytime, you sure know how to pick the least effective area to attack from every time. Not to mention your not exactly fast, are you?"

Sephiroth asked with scorn as he was still waiting to be impressed by Kujitsu's talents. Sephiroth sighed to himself as where Sephiroth really was was still a mystery. Sephiroth chuckled as soon enough, they all held up one hand that began to glow green. "That's quite a nasty wound you have, and such a por dressing at that. It would be a shame if it got an infection of some kind...." Sephiroth said with a wily smirk as he chuckled. "....Bio X." Sephiroth said as soon enough, the air in the arena began to be tinted green. A protective field around the audience was put up for their safety and Sephiroth chuckled. Being one with the Lifestream, he didn't have to worry about death via natural causes. Including his own poison and disease he was spreading around.

Sephiroth decided to have some fun as they all stood there and Sephiroth had to chuckle once more. "Gaia Blade." Sephiroth said as soon enough, some of the poison was encompassed into his Masamune, all the illusions swords now glowing green. Sephiroth merely shook his head as he looked Towards Kujitsu. "You depend too much on solely one skill or ability of yours. Your warping especially and your swordsmanship not enough. A true warrior requires a balance of all of his abilities to hope to win in any confrontation. Now, actually fight me. The only thing keeping you alive is my patience child." Sephiroth stated harshly as he let Kujitsu know what was on stake.

[kujitsu]

Taken offguard by the sudden place swap, Kujitsu jumped backwards, and Sephiroth activated his poison ability. Within a few seconds, Kujitsu began to cough. Poison gas wasn't much of a problem for him, due to the fact it needed space to be in, whilst Kujitsu could control space. But even numbing the ability, hes till felt like he was going to be sick. He needed some kind of game-plan. And then he had one. COughing loudly, he stood up to his full hieght and twirled the keyblade behind him. This was a very risky plan.

He ran full pelt over the few steps between himself and Sephiroth, before jumping into the air, and swinging his keyblade down at Sephiroth's head, coughing again. This better work, because Kujitsu didn't feel he could last much longer. He had a final back-up if this didn't work. But he hoped this worked, for his back-up wasn't exactly self-friendly.

[sephiroth]

Sephiroth growled at the weak display of abilities of this child. Sephiroth decided to give this child a dose of reality. This kid couldn't be everywhere at once, so dodging this next attack would be almost impossible. Sephiroth moved now at his normal speed, watching the swing almost as if it was in slow motion. In what could be thought of as seconds to Kujitsu, the attack he was using was actually moving at a minutes pace for Sephiroth. Sephiroth hoped this display of his abilities and power would force this child to stop fooling around and showcase his true prowess if he had it.

Sephiroth chuckled slightly as he walked behind Kujitsu and while he was in mid air, merely laughed to himself as an illusion of his took his place where he once was. Sephiroth merely shook his head as soon enough, Time returned to normal. "My patience is wearing thin, just to give you a heads up." Sephiroth said as soon enough, his hands began to glow a bright Yellow. "THUNDAGA!!!" Sephiroth said as he cast the very high-powered lightning spell at maximum power. However, he didn't cast it on Kujitsu. Not at all. One noting the battle could see the other illusions soon dissipate. Sephiroth smiled widely at this test to his opponent. For he wasn't hitting his opponent with this spell.

No, he was targeting himself. And due to his Reflectga still cast on him, Sephiroth knew he would receive no damage. As a matter of fact, the didn't even direct the reflect lightning in one direction. Instead, it let it burst everywhere. Continuously letting it hit him and send streams of intense electricity in all directions. More potent than usual due to Reflectga's nature to reflect attacks at a higher power than before, Sephiroth laughed slightly as he he held his sword in the air, acting as a continuous lightning rod to himself and at the same time, using Gaia blade to store electricity into. Sephiroth learned one thing about Keybladers, was that the hilt of their blade's was made of metal as well. Meaning even blocking Sephiroth's next blows or having his attacks blocked would mean damage towards Kujitsu. Sephiroth laughed sinisterly as he let the lightning flourish. After about twenty second, he dispelled both spells, only revealing himself and his yellow glowing Masamune, standing in an offensive position.

[kujitsu]

Kujitsu was running low on energy. He'd have to use the plan now. But before he could do anything else, large bursts of lightning fired at him, so he was forced to do a high jump and catch himself in mid air, before turning to face Sephiroth, taking note of anything else he may do. Once assured that he was finished for now, at least, Kujitsu twirled his keyblade.

Before he did anything else, he noticed the slightly cackling sword. He decided best not to come into contact with it for too long. So he planned again, only for a few seconds. Then, it hit him. He warped down to the floor and ran at Sephiroth. An obviously idiotic move. But with sudden swiftness (surprsiningly fast) he flipped through the air and crashed his back heel into Sephiroth's sword, Resisting the current, he drove all his force into moving it into the ground. And if it worked, he had a special phasing ability which would cause the sword's blade to sink, and become stuck below the ground.

[sephiroth]

Sephiroth raised an eyebrow at the technique the kid just used. Needles to say, Sephiroth's side of the mouth cracked upwards a little. He was actually slightly impressed. Sephiroth smiled slightly. "That...child....prolonged your life for a little bit longer. However, I do hope that your just getting warmed up." Sephiorth said with a cunning smile. His blade was indeed in the ground. Sephiroth laughed out loud as he let go of his blade and cracked his neck. "And to think, the battle hasn't even begun yet. We should stop warming up soon though." Sephiroth said with a laugh once more towards Kujitsu.

Sephiroth soon held out both of his hands, which began to glow a distinct black. "Sin Harvest." Sephiroth said as the blades returned. However, instead of many, only two appeared. Two, very long katana like blades of darkness. Sephiroth did a back flip and caught them in mid air. "Gaia Blade!!!" Sephiroth said as soon enough, the black blades absorbed the energy of earth and surrounding the black energy, was a distinct crystalline material. Then, the fires forged around it until soon enough, the blades were finely crafted into a solid metal and gemstone compound. Sephiroth laughed some more as he gave his blades some practice swings.

"Honestly, did you think a swordsman of my caliber would not have more blades in the wait? Now, let's have this warm-up end here. " Sephiroth said as soon enough, his illusions appeared around the arena once more. This time however, there were eight of them, equally spaced and surrounding Kujitsu. "Hastega!!!" Sephiroth said loudly as soon enough, the illusions and himself began to move everywhere. Moving so fast, they were all blurs. And soon, they began to continuously move in and slash at Kujitsu, while Sephiroth himself merely waited for the right moment to test out his opponent's newest skills.

[kujitsu]

Due to the fact that Sephiroth was moving so fast, Kujitsu didn't have time to attack. He managed to block the strikes, with difficulty, due to sensing the disturbances in space. But he still got hit occasionally, slicing at his clothes and limbs. But before anything else could happen, he warped about a foot to his left, and took hold of Sephiroth's old sword and used his phasing ability to take it out, now he was wielding his keyblade and Sephiroth's sword.

It was hard to use, but he felt he could do it. He twirled them both and swiped with Sephiroth's blade. It;s sheer length acted as a shield. In the confusion he backflipped out of the illusions and twirled both weapons. He was going to have to pull out all the stops. And so he yelled and charged straight at Sephiroth, and once he reached him, began swiping with skill in every direction. He only had one last chance at victory. He hoped it would work.
