3, 2, 1, FIGHT"
They both swung their swords faster then the audience could see. A loud bang was heard as the blades collided, there was an intense struggle of power between the two. Neither giving in.
DD had only one of his katanas equipped, with his other hand he quickly grabbed one of his black marbels and threw it on the ground, a large black smoke screen appeared.
DD jumped back away from the smoke. Solax flew above the smoke and as soon as DD emerged from it he dove in to strike again. He swung and the sword went right through DD. his body turned to smoke.
Soon there were many DD's surrounding solax.
"you think that trick could work on me!"
Solax raised his sword into the air and a beam of bright light emerged. he quickly slammed his sword into the ground and a huge Shockwave of light appeared, all the fake DD'S disappeared, but the real DD was nowhere to be found.
a large black mist appeared behind Solax. DD jumped from the smoke and stabbed Solax right in the shoulder. A white light grabbed onto his katana and spread closer to DD. DD jumped back abandoning his blade.
Solax turned around with a pained smile. He moved his hand over his right shoulder and ripped the sword out of his shoulder. he grunted in pain as it came out. He held the sword in his right hand
DD trying to take advantage of Solax removing the sword lunged at him. Solax was ready this time. using his own sword he blocked DD'S strike. he then used DD's sword and swung it at his leg. DD couldn't react in time, the sword cut a Inch deep before a shadow stopped it from preceding.
DD grabbed onto the blade that was in his leg. using brute force he ripped it from his leg. his hand was badly injured. he jumped back from Solax and threw another marbel down. it burst Into black smoke. another large set of of DD's appeared.
"Didn't you already use this move?"
Solax doing the same as last time raised his sword and shot up a beam of light, but this time a large shadow engulfed his sword before he could slam it down. DD ran at him from behind and with his katana he swung it down full force at solax's head.
"BANG!!"
A old looking man appeared between the two he swung his blade and blocked the katana.
"This fight is over, DD is the winner!"
Both the fighters were quickly rushed out of the arena for medical attention.
the hologram reappeared.
"What a fight! it certainly was close! give a round of applause for those two."
Some of the audience members looked disappointed, but most of them cheered and clapped loudly.
'that fight sure did seem controversial.' Chase thought.
" Now on to the Final round. Aquarius versus DD, who will win and get our queens hand in marriage? Let's give DD a break for the upcoming battle, we will return in 10 minutes"
Chase stood up, his butt was starting to hurt from the uncomfortable sitting position. He leaned on the railing in front of him. he couldn't lean over it because of the force field.
'Now this has been interesting. I think im going to go find out some information while I have a break.'
Chase awkwardly looked around for a bit trying to see who the appropriate person to talk to might be. It seemed like everyone was already in large groups and he didn't feel comfortable just approaching a bunch of people. He saw a girl with scaly ears and a large tail at the top of the bleachers sitting alone. He figured that would be his best bet.
He made his way up the bleachers and stopped near her. He gave a wave and put on a smile.
"Hello, I'm Chase. why are you up here alone?"
"I'm Helena, what to do you mean? "
"mean what exactly?"
Helena perked up a bit " I'm a dragon human mix, does that not scare you?"
"not really, should it?"
Helena had a smile on her face.
"hmm? you don't know? you must be from far out then."
Chase stared at her blankly.
"well, 500 or so years ago dragons killed hundreds of people in the old capital. The story goes that dragons were wicked creatures who killed for fun, but I think differently. After all I'm dragon and don't feel like killing anyone, I have a feeling there was a reason for my ancestors doing that. Ever since then though all dragons and dragon mixs have been heavily discriminated, even though that happened hundreds of years ago.
Chase had a frown on his face. he was clearly upset. He sat down next to her and paused to think before he said.
"why should you get picked on for your grandparents actions? that seems completely unfair."
Helena gave him a confused look before giggling "you certainly are a odd one."
Chase put on a awkward smile he rubbed the back of his head " I get told that a lot"
" I know this is kind of a weird question, but where exactly is this place. I was teleported here so I kind of have no idea where I am"
"you were teleported here, by who?"
"oh, uh. just a friend"
"must be quite the strong one to be able to teleport you"
" well. your currently in the city of Xandrea. it's a heavy market and adventurer city. It has one of the most diverse populations in any city with nearly every race allowed to stay here"
Chase put a finger on his chin
'looks like this will be a good place to level up with this being a adventurer based city'
"how exactly does one become an adventurer?"
"well anyone can become an adventurer, you can claim quests at any of the quest boards from guilds, but If you want to get the good quests and make some serious cash then you need to align yourself with a guild by talking to one of the guild masters or managers"
"oh, are you aligned with a guild?"
"Sure am! you know those last two fighters, DD is my guild manager, we are the Black wings. it's the only guild that would accept my race. I'm new though, and have been struggling greatly to get a guild party formed" Helena had a awkward smile she scooted a little closer to Chase.
"Hey! we could party up! we can create a party together" Helena was now right In Chases face with a excited expression.
"uhhmm"
'should I join her, I have to kill 2 people, I'm not sure if I want to involve her in that. Then again, becoming an adventurer,and not having to establish my own party.'
"yeah that sounds great"
"Really!?"
"yeah"
Helena jumped forward and hugged Chase.
"Thank you so much, you have no idea how long I've been looking for a party member, your the first person to take a chance on me I won't let you down!"
Chase was a little stunned, everything was happening a little fast for him.
"I'll count on that"
Helena backed away, Chase put on a warm smile and Helena blushed.
" I just realized how unprofessional that was, I'm sorry. it's just been so long since I've been accepted."
"it's fine, really"
suddenly the Holographic man appeared in the center again.
"well folks are you ready for are final round!?"
the crowd roared to life
"let's get this show on the road, DD versus Aquarius!!"
A large Holographic timer appeared to replace the man and A women with dark blue armor appeared on the right side of the arena, she wore a mask with a demon face. Her armor looked very light and unrestricting, it only protected her most vital parts. Her hair was a light shade of blue and she had two dagger in her belt.
DD walked out from opposite to her they looked towards each other and gave a slight nod.
the timer appeared and they took a step back.
Aquarius got into a fighting stance. she looked like a Tigger about to pounce on her prey.
"you've done well to get this far, please don't hold back"
"FIGHT!"
