Thaleus was feeling a little conscientious in the crowd due to his win. Luckily he decided to wear a hood over his face so no one would recognize him.
The next fights went by a lot quicker than the first ones as the contestants didn't want to be overlooked after Thaleus's impressive display. He watched them all with interest trying to make light of how he would approach each individual that won. The fights ended fairly quickly to Thaleus as he was so focused on each fight. Then all of a sudden it was his turn again. "Damn" he thought. "Already me again."
His palms were a bit sweaty as he sat in the waiting area again. He might have shown too much of his hand during his last match. He also knew that all the fighters were wary of him now. In no time at all he was teleported to the arena Forecast vs. The Clockmaster.
"Fuck not him." they both thought as they readied themselves.

FIGHT
Forecast acted quickly using one of his strongest attacks off the bat. "Earthquake" The arena spider cracked as he stomped his foot on the ground. The cracks tore through the arena at breakneck speed parts of the ground rising and flying through the air.
Before Thaleus could react a chunk of rock smashed against his chest flinging him away towards the wall HP260/300. He twisted his body in the air pressing his feet against the wall and pushing off causing the wall to crack with the strength from his legs. He zoomed towards his opponent using Time Warp closing the distance instantly. Pulling his fist back he infused it with all the ki he could and *Ding* *Unique skill created Titan Flash Strike: Powerful ki infused punch 3% chance to cause internal hemorrhaging 5x damage
Cost:50 mana
Cost: 25 stamina
Forecast barely got his arms up to block. He infused them with ki thinking that the punch was weak. *BOOM* Forecasts eyes widened as his guard was broken and he went flying backwards flipping over himself before crashing into the wall. HP 400/500 "No fucking way" Forecast thought. "How can he be so strong?" Forecasts eyes lit up blue and his hair stood on end "Emperor's Storm Shroud" he became incased in what looked like samurai armor crafted from lightning." he locked gazes with Thaleus before pushing off the ground *ZING* He moved so fast Thaleus warped forward instinctually he felt the static as Forecast hit where he had just been standing "Time Lapse" He turned warping right back to Forecast and hit him repeatedly with weak punches however with each hit he activated Ripple Touch 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 left shoulder, right hip, right arm, chin, chest. Forecast looked in shock as he felt as if he was moving while carrying a mountain. Thaleus disappeared again. He had kicked of the ground to warp above Forecast. Thaleus flipped in the air trying using the exrra momentum to bring his ki infused kick towards the back of Forecasts head. his foot was an inch away when forecast disappeared from sight. "Lightning Transfer" this was one of Forecasts ace in the hole moves. it allowed him to swap places with any bolt of lighning he had created. He usually tried to use it to double strike by throwing past an opponent and pincering them between his physical attack and his lightning attack. Unfortunately Thaleus put him on edge and he used this as a technique to buy himself some time. His body wasnt doing what he wanted and there were some areas that Thaleus hit that wouldnt even move. Seeing forecast disappear put Thaleus on the defensive he searched quickly till he found him near the roof of the arena with something in his hand. Ripple Touch had completed and the man held what looked like a hammer in his hands. "This is my strongest move right now" Forecast thought "This better get me the win. He's much tougher than I thought him to be."
Forecast moved the hammer above his head his body brimming with power as he focused moving all of it into his weapon. His body trembled as he finally released his attack "Mjolnirs Wrath" he named the move after his favorite gods weapon due to two reasons. The first being that he could only create a hammer and two because of the raw lightning power behind the attack. the lightning brimmed around his hammer before he released it down towards Thaleus. The sky trembled as the lightning was released from the hammer shooting towards the ground. it became so bright that everyone had to turn their eyes away to keep from being blinded including Forecast. Thaleus closed his eyes and used Time Lapse before leaping up and away from the strike knowing that being on the arena floor would be deadoy for him. The strength of his kick off the ground caused cracks as ge launched himself into the sky using time warp to add more distance. He opened his eyes and noticed he was now above Forecast who was now scanning the arena looking for him. He smiled as he turned to nose dive down towards forecast. He used Time Lapse as he came into range with Forecast then as his body came close enough he used the strength he had left to attack. "Titan Flash Punch" as his first punch connected he immediately swung his second one using it again finally he flipped as only his feet could reach now "Fractured Twist Kick" Time Lapse finished and Forecast felt the attacks full swing. *BOOM BOOM BOOM* shockwaves surrounded the two as Forecast went careening to the ground. Forecast hit the ground causing a crater and shaking the arena floor. 0/500 Thaleus had won the fight.
Thaleus teleported back to the waiting area leaving the crowd sitting in awe none had seen how he had won the fight cause they had still been scanning the ground looking for Thaleus when he had hit Forecast with his combo. "I underestimated this kid" Forecast thought as he was teleported back to the waiting area. "I need to find out who he is."
