Cyndon grunted a little in pain as he was moved into the sitting position. He was happy that she worried about him so much, and as she hugged him his heart skipped a beat. He looked into her face, showing worry quite plainly as he let out another grunt of pain.
"Yeah. When i get angry i get this ability to move extremely quickly; most people can't even see me while i move. I become much stronger, faster, and such, but it comes at a major price. All of my muscles are over-exerted at the moment, but give me a while to re-distribute the water in my body and i'll be back to normal rather quickly." Cyndon began to glow dark blue as his skin began to mold and wobble a little. It looked as if insects were crawling around under his skin and soon some big bubbles came into view until finally everything suddenly stopped and he slowly got back to his feet.
"Urgh." He stood for a second gasping for breath as he ascended. "Okay, now just give me a little more recovery time; i should be better before our next match. I wonder who the next pair will be?"

"Ok," murmured Gwen. "Do you need any help getting out of the stadium?" She offered her arm. She couldn't see him, but she could see his energy, and previously it had turned a deep purple, meaning love. This perturbed her, but she pushed it to the back of her mind.
Maha-Raja slid around, covering his paws in mud. "I didn't want to exert myself this much.." he growled. He had been playing up until now. He had realized just how strong Kerrain was. The moon began to shine brighter again. Dark energy seemed to flow from the sky, and white energy fell from the moon. Light energy, healing, protective, and dark energy, for the fight. White energy encased him, and hardened into armor. The dark energy seemed to gather around his eyes, and he roared. A blast of dark energy flew at him, while the same darkness eminated from his paws.

Cyndon exhaled laboredly as he took Gwen's arm in his and they both hobbled out of the arena. He couldn't help his feelings for her, and he was afraid that she was more than able to tell. He looked over at her helping him out of the arena... She looked like the kind of person that had been hurt a lot. Hurt to the point of no return; where no person could ever make it through to her. He hoped that at least he could stay around her as a friend, if not a love.
They made it into the waiting room when suddenly a pair walked up to them. One of them was dressed in a dark red robe and wearing everyday clothes underneath. He was wearing a mantle and hood that was an identical red to his robe and he looked a lot like Cyndon himself. As soon as Cyndon looked up the color drained from his face.
"YOU! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE, YOU ABOMINATION!" He stumbled out of Gwens arm and almost immediately fell to the ground. The Cyndon copy sighed heavily as he responded to him.
"... I have no interest in fighting with you outside of the ring. Besides you need to rest... Wouldn't want you to get permanently injured from your rash actions in that last fight." A vein appeared on Cyndon's forehead as he was obviously getting peeved. He shakily stood up and glared at the copy of himself with a look of utter distaste.
The partner looked at Cyndon with a look of pity on her face. She conjured energy up and went to work healing him and Gwen. When she was finished she stood back up and addressed Cyndon.
"You should really let the past go. The both of you stopped what was going to happen, the least you can do is get along with your clone. Its not like it was his fault that he was made!" She looked sternly down her nose at him, and immediately he calmed himself down. He looked around at her and his copy and reluctantly responded.
"Sure. Whatever." He walked away from the both of them.

"Is he intoxicated!? He literally just threw your element at your body."
"He's getting fatigued. I'm not sure he can think straight." Kerrain replied to the hilt.
The pirate rose his left hand and thrust it out in front of him, the dark energy dissapating back into the atmosphere. Kerrain let a smile come upon his face as he went into a trot, then into a flat-out run. His body disappeared as his apexed speed was reached, his visage reappearing right beside Maha-Raja, in the air. The corsair's foot was barely an inch from his enemy's face until he disappeared once more, reappearing right in front of Maha-Raja this time. Kerrain's elbow nearly impacted the beast's temple as the pirate dematerialized into the air again, materializing right behind the beast.
"Your eyes may be playing tricks on you..." The pirate whispered in the demon's ear as he disappeared once more, reappearing right in front of the demon.
"Or perhaps, I've decided to play with you..."
Kerrain stuck his left hand into the air, his palm directly in front of the demon. A dark orb was centered within his palm, slowly growing in size.
"Rao zon." ("Celestial Gun")
The dark orb stopped its growing and bend inward on itself, the black becoming white hot with power. Kerrain winked to the demon.
"HIKEN!"
THe orb fired directly in the demon's face.

The white armor that encased him suddenly grew, completely covering his face. A tendril of the energy twisted off and seemed to swallow the shot whole. Maha-Raja smiled, that same toothy grin. Then, he arched his back, and his armor produced long white spikes all over. On his paws, his claws were elongated and sharpened with the brilliant energy, and his fangs were encased in it as well. It looked slightly pearly in appearance, but it was apparent that it was far stronger than that. White energy gathered and absorbed into his spikes as they glowed eeriely. About his paws, white energy seemed to seep into the ground. It then flowed out from him in waves, but not just through the ground but from the air. It was like a giant ball, growing larger, unavoidable. The demon didn't want to have to use so much of Maha's energy, he didn't want to have to use any of his own.
Gwen glared at the Cyndon copy's partner as she healed her. "I don't need your help or your pity!" she snarled. She spat, and it landed at the person's feet. She then turned away rather haughtily, head held high. She did not take charity from just anyone.

"Grr... Damn that Naorin! Just because he didn't end up taking over my lot in life he thinks that we can be friends... And that wench Kendra always coddling him. It makes me sick. I hope we are up against them next, i can't wait to pound his-" Then he thought about what was said. He had no interest in fighting him outside of the tournament? As far as Naorin was concerned before, Cyndon had absolutely destroyed his life. Had he really let that go? How could he after going through all that turmoil and pain?
"What the HELL is his Problem!?" He rushed after Naorin and clamped onto his shoulder.
"Want to explain yourself? The last time we met you were hell-bent on killing me!" Naorin looked down in regret.
"There are a lot of things that i said that i regret saying, Cyndon. I may be your clone, but i'm my own person. What i did ruined my life, not yours and what you did affected your life, not mine. That's why i hope that the next time i see you outside of this tournament we can at least co-exist. I'm sorry that i was created some days, but others i'm more than happy to help you with whatever you want. i am you after all, and yet i'm also not you." Naorin was nearly in tears at this point when Kendra stepped in-between the two.
"You've done enough." She looked over at Gwen "I apologize for acting without permission." She spun back to Cyndon and glared at him.
"May the best group win." Was all Kendra said in response.

Gwen held back the urge to smack Kendra. "Cyndon, let's go. These two are activating my gag reflex," she growled, taking Cyndon by the arm. She stormed down the hall with him with an iron grip, scowling. "Good-for-nothing, fancy, arrogant.." Her words were lost in her fervent muttering. Her footsteps echoed about the hallway as she stomped down it.

They didn't have far to go as the announcer came up with the next pairing for the battles.
"Will Cyndon and Gwen please walk to the gate! Your next match has arrived!" Cyndon looked over at Gwen and grimaced as Gwen led him to the gate rather expertly. once again they were in the large ring and the crowd was absolutely screaming their names.
"The mysterious Cyndon and Gwen have returned for their second match! This time against the equally mysterious duo. They hail from lands unknown as they prowl around for their lost links. Please Welcome: NAORIN AND KENDRA!" The crowd was a mix of cheers and jeers as the two of them came out of the gate opposite to them. Cyndon could sense Gwen tense up as she noticed the two that they were fighting. A smirk played at his face.
"I get it, i got Naorin..." He laughed heartily as he pulled Camellia off of his back.
"Ready for this, Camellia?"
"Naorin is back?!"
"Wait... it's a tournament, not life and death."

Gwen smiled, she could sense Kendra's energy. Blue-white energy formed around her hand, and her eyes glowed slightly. She moved her hand in a serpentine fashion, smooth and graceful, up towards her face. She stopped at shoulder height, where she brought her other hand together with the glowing hand. She spread her hands apart, energy sparked between them. She closed them again, before pushing out with her hands, a ball of energy flying towards Kendra. She brought her hands over her head, completing a cartwheel towards Kendra. Her feet slid around in a graceful circle as they met the ground, turning her to face Kendra again. Blue energy formed around them, and she brought her leg forward, aiming for Kendra's chin.

Kendra smirked as she smacked the ball of light with her hand sending it upwards into the air, and she caught Gwen's foot just inches away from her chin. She threw Gwen through the air and took out her sword. It was made of a strange blue stone that glittered in the sunlight. She took a card from a satchel near her hip and swiped it on her sword, casting it in front of her with naught but a grin on her face.
"Arise, GEOMANCER!" The card sprouted a person dressed in green robes and blank green eyes. The man suddenly ripped some earth out of the arena and sent it flying straight for Gwen.
---
Cyndon jumped to one side while running towards Naorin. He was hell-bent on letting Camellia drain him, but Naorin was too crafty for that. He took a card from a satchel on his arm and slung it across the large stone lashed to his hip with a large golden ribbon. He held the card in between two fingers and grinned openly.
"Pyro Shot!" A large fireball came flying towards Cyndon and he quickly dodged out of the way. He continued his run towards Naorin and swung the staff, only to have Naorin slink backwards just out of Camellia's range. Cyndon cursed aloud as he swung again, only to have Naorin dodge once again. Finally Cyndon just flew into a fury of attacks, left, right, up, down, down, down, uppercut, horizontal swipe. Finally Cyndon hit him with a stabbing motion and Camellia went to work forming a veritable tree of vines around Naorin, effectively encasing him in his own leeching tomb.

As she was thrown, Gwen expertly twisted and flipped over, landing rather neatly. The geomancer summoned had a rather dull energy by Gwen's standard, and she briskly leapt up on to the chunk of earth. She then flipped off this, swinging herself around in a kick aimed at the Geomancer's head. She then landed, fingertips brushing the ground as she spun around. She had landed behind the Geomancer, and she drew her sword, and aimed a stab right at its back, where its heart would be. "Have to summon other people to do your dirty work for ya? Never liked a middle man," she announced cheerfully.

Kerrain smiled as he disappeared once more, reappearing thirty feet away, his left hand extended forward.
"How did you know?"
"Know what?"
"That he would absorb the gun? Are you planning what I think you're planning?"
"Of course."
Kerrain's left eye suddenly turned a solid black, an equally dark pattern sudennly running down from his eye to his shoulder and spiraling down his arm, forming a swirl in the palm of his left hand.
"Sheo shao reo eta ene eshe dao tia reo tia kii rii kii reo ene rao are daa edo ial teo kae omi kai!" (Incantation of the Sun)
"You're going to need my power to do this."
"Sheo shao reo eta ene eshe dao tia reo tia kii rii kii reo ene rao are daa edo ial teo kae omi kai!" Kerrain repeated again, his left hand emitting a dim light from its center.
"Sheo shao reo eta ene eshe dao tia reo tia kii rii kii reo ene rao are daa edo ial teo kae omi kai!" The corsair's right hand went to his left arm as he held it tight, supporting his arm as the dim light in the center of his palm started getting brighter and brighter.
"Sheo shao reo eta ene eshe dao tia reo tia kii rii kii reo ene rao are daa edo ial teo kae omi kai!" Kerrain rose his left arm and aimed it directly at the moon above, the bright light suddenly flooding into a lighthouse beacon of white energy.
"HERE WE GO!"
"Sheo shao reo eta ene eshe dao tia reo tia kii rii kii reo ene rao are daa edo ial teo kae omi KAI!" The corsair yelled as the light flooded the entire arena, leaving only white in the vision of all the spectators, blinding any within the area.
"HIKEN!"
The white light became brighter once more as the colliseum was engulfed in a white, hot, blinding light. As the light grew dimmer, it was if it were no longer night. The moon was gone, the stars were gone. Day had broken upon the arena floor as the sun shined brilliantly above the arena, and all one could hear were the murmurs and claps of the audience for a good show. Kerrain was slumped to the ground, leaning upon his knee. His hand was emanating steam from the intense heat he had just had in his palm, and his body had taken the toll of incanting the sun. He looked to Maha-Raja, then reached into his belt to gather two more throwing knives from his belt with his right hand, for his left hand was going to be lame for a while.
"You do know that incantation only lasts for two hours? How far had you planned this?"
"Far... enough." Kerrain answered, his breathing irregular.

Kendra was noticeably peeved at the comment that Gwen had made, and as the sword pierced the geomancer, she laughed openly.
"I don't always need Control types against people like you!" She took a different card from her pouch and slipped it past her blade.
"Come forth, TITAN!" A gigantic abomination appeared in the middle of the arena, taking up about half of the space. Cyndon jumped out of the way of one of its huge feet as he landed, still connected to Naorin by Camellia. The large monster had one humongous eye and bulging muscles, dressed in only a loincloth and wielding a large club. He slammed the club on the ground and a large shock wave rippled out around the arena, knocking both Gwen and Cyndon off balance and burying them in a layer of dust.
---
Cyndon laughed triumphantly as Naorin was covered, but soon had to dodge the large foot that was about to smash him. Soon he was covered by a layer of dust and he could hear Naorin laughing.
"Pyro Shot!" The vines burst into flame and he leaped out of the burnnig debris. He walked over to Cyndon with a smug expression on his face.
"Now lets see how you like being controlled!" He drew another card from his pack and swiped it across the stone.
"Blast Wave!" A large explosion of energy slammed into Cyndon's trapped body and he coughed up blood. Cyndon couldn't help himself as his eyes began to glow bright white. Water began to spontaneously trickle up in the middle of the battlefield, quickly turning into a large volume in as little as a minute.
"You ought not to have done that, my friend." the water was soon up to everyone's chest, and Gwen and Cyndon were free of the dust and dirt. The both of them were were floating above the water as it was reaching over the rim of the coliseum without spilling over into the crowds stands. Soon the sky above them darkened as a massive storm began to pick up. Lightning struck at uneven intervals, and the wind was forcing the water into a whirlpool. Naorin and Kendra could be seen plummeting into the water and spinning at the mercy of all the water around them.
"What the hell is going on!?" Naorin cried as Kendra was pulled under for a split second.
"MAELSTROM!" Cyndon yelled as the lightning hit relentlessly, soon it all converged at the same spots, right on Naorin and Kendra. The mass of electricity coursing through them miraculously didn't kill them, however they were well and easily taken out... until Kendra suddenly stood up where she fell.
"*pant pant* You... Can't be rid of me... that easily...!" She struck towards Gwen with sword in hand, ready for the now-or-never attack. She was charging blindly, and noticeably weakened.

Gwen eyed Kendra with little interest. She waited until Kendra was within five feet of her before she turned her unsheathed sword towards Kendra. Kendra was charging, it was apparent she would have no ability to maneuver away from the sword. Gwen knew that Kendra would basically gore herself on the sword. She aimed it so it would miss vital organs, but disable her from battling further. She was no murderer, but she did smile with a hint of bloodlust.
The demon smiled. He turned into a wisp of shadow, perhaps moonlight, perhaps water vapor, and dissolved away. "You can't hold that sun there forever.. and I can wait. If calculations are correct, the most you can hold it for is three hours, no? Most likely less. We began when night was setting.. it shall be nearly midnight when the sun falls. Those in the audience may adjourn for a bathroom break if need be." The demon was barely there now, invisible to all and of no substance. Kerrain would have little strength if he held the sun. If he let the sun go, Maha could attack. The demon was currently gathering the energy, adding some of his own. If the moon returned he could attack stronger than ever. If Kerrain held the attack for any amount of time, it would be nearer to midnight than before, his strongest hour. The demon sneered.

Kendra slid up the sword, easily impaling herself on the length of it. She gasped and coughed up blood as she slid back down the sword and to the ground. Naorin and Kendra were defeated, flat out owned as the cheers from the crowd reached a fever pitch. Gwen and Cyndon quickly exited the arena back into the waiting area, and more of the contenders looked over at Cyndon with a look of fear in their eyes.
"WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT?!" Cyndon was flat out pissed as he walked in the door, and the couples that were staring at him soon ceased to do so as they went back to waiting for their matches.
