Challenge day was the event and a battle between the students of Colossaverse I at every major school was it's game. Knowing this, we focus on the first school to start theirs off with a bang, Warren Warmen Academy. Their students were already underway for their day full of battles and excitement. The school changes into a massive dome that keeps expanding. It has at least five environments and more than enough airspace for an air temple to form. Allowing for air battles of all sorts.
Strong students have already begun eliminating and winning battles against the weaker. Though if we're being honest, it has NOT been easy at all. Not one bit, as they have all been forming teams to make up for their weaknesses and lack of training. Amidst these many battles, we find Fong and the others being pressed by Demetrius' twin sons, Baaji and Drucidel. With them was none other than Kenny Vermilli. Morpheus' cousin of sorts and the eldest son of the legendary warrior of Gahwardia, Xebeel Vermilli. A battle has been issued by Kenny, who wished to see the strength of Silvio and his new partner, Rasho.
"Come now Silvioano, or should I call you Zo'Meesz?" Kenny says as he smiles at Silvio. He summons a magicians staff and twirls it about while insisting on a fight between them.
Scrâg: "He knows your real first name too?"
Fong: "He definitely spoke with your uncle Zoshen before he was taken."
Silvio: "Yeah, I don't really like using my first name like that. So please just call me Silvio, Kenny."
Kenny: "I can do that, but you three are still going to fight us three. We've all accumulated some points within these first two hours. So let's waste a bit of time here, it's just as bad for us since you guys are obviously no, "walk in a park"."
Silvio: "You guys for it? Let's show them what we can really do!"
Fong: "Go for it, but if Kenny gains the upper hand for too long, I'm jumping in. Got it?"
Silvio: "Yeah!"
Scrâg: "Let's do it then, Almighty Helbram! *SHING* I got Drucidel this time!" *FWIP*
Fong: "Impulsive as ever, I'll keep Baaji occupied, so… *Pat* give 'em hell Zo'Meesz." *FWIP*
Silvio: "Oh, BLEH! Don't call me that! Now then… let's do this Kenny."
Kenny: "Right on Silvio, I want to see the extent of your skill for now so don't worry about getting flashy. I can already sense that my scale level is higher."
Silvio: "Mhm… alright sounds good. Won't even deny what I can sense right now. You're strong, so it's best I go… ALL OUT! *PEW* I'll show you how far I've progressed." *THUD*
Kenny: "Ah, nice. I get to see the Draconos family's almighty dragon style martial arts. This punch tells me everything… HMPH!!" *SWISH*
Kenny swings his staff at Silvio who bends backwards to dodge it. He goes into a backflip and leaps off after getting a good grip on the ground. Kenny is caught off guard by the sudden speed burst, but his instincts are top-notch. He manages to dodge the roundhouse kick, then use his staff to block Silvio's right jab.
(Tch! That thing's hard as heck. What's it made of!?) Silvio thinks to himself as he leaps back once more, before nearly being struck by the orb on the top of the staff. Kenny follows up with a leg sweep while chasing after Silvio. He manages to dodge by jumping and flipping over Kenny entirely. Kenny slides and turns around, he rotates his staff into his back and his Gahwardian robe releases a strap that holds it tightly. He then get into a traditional mantis stance. Slivio takes wind of this and re-establishes his dracko stance.
Kenny: "Not bad kid, let's see how much more you can do." *FWISH*
Silvio: "Hm? *SWOOSH* (That was close, he nearly got my left shoulder.)"
Silvio throws another left jab to counter, but Kenny dodges and grabs a hold of Silvio's arm. Kenny then proceeds to throw another right handed jab which Silvio dodges at the last second. Kenny takes notice and ducks under Silvio's extended arm, making it hard to attack again. Upon Silvio's hesitation, Kenny kicks his stomach which makes him flinch. Kenny then brings down his right leg and steps in front of Silvio. Tripping him as he holds onto his arm, locking it as Silvio is forced into a knee.
Silvio: "NRGH!"
Fong notices that he's pinned and knocks Baaji away. Leaping off his chest as the force from her foot sends him sliding. She lands and faces Silvio, calling out to him and she sees him struggling to free his arm. Kenny looks over and says, "Don't worry." , winking at her as he looks back down at Silvio.
Kenny: "Your girlfriend seems worried about you, Silvio."
Silvio: *Blush* "Sh-She's not my girlfriend!"
Kenny: "Then why're you blushing?"
Silvio: "N-Nrgh… ahhh SHUT UP! DESTROY!"
Kenny: "Uh-oh! *FWIP*
The ground beneath them is instantly caved in as dust falls into the newly formed crater. Kenny appears at its edge while Silvio rises out from the center. Kenny smiles at him which irritates Silvio just a bit. He scrunches his body up and summons an odd essence that had the feel of a Birthright.
Fong: (He's using that?)
Scrâg: "Mhm. Get 'em Silvio!"
Silvio: "Fallen Possession: Fallen Destroyer Form!"
Kenny: "His Birthright is a possession type, and if my research is correct. *Swish* She is his Birthright Twin."
Fong: "Mhm!"
Kenny: "So she has it too though her concept from birth should be different. Her Fallen should be of the Flame family."
Silvio: *PEW* "Pay attention!"
Kenny: "Oh?" *kaBLOOM*
Scrâg & Fong: (Did he get him!?)"
Baaji: "Poor kid."
Drucidel: "Kenny's no joke. His Element and Birthright are formidable enough to combat studies."
Baaji: "Throw in his Mastery of Zenchi and it's ugly."
Scrâg: "What's his Element?"
Baaji: "Heh!" *Grin*
Silvio: *SHEEN* "Huh… a magic circle!?"
Kenny: "Yeah, my boy! My Element is Magic/Mana."
Silvio: "Nrgh!?..."
All three: (Then what's his Birthright.)
Kenny: "Come at me!"
Silvio: "NRGH… Trident!" *SHING*
They fly off into the skies with Silvio chasing after Kenny. Meanwhile Scrâg presses Drucidel with his Helbram wielding skills. Drucidel charges a large amount of plasma Essence into his club all the while. He smashes it into the floor but Scrâg flashes his weapon into the sky and a tree forms around him. It tanks the brunt of the blow and allows for a great distraction. Scrâg strikes from directly below Drucidel, undetected at that. He smacks Drucidel in the face and forces him into the air.
(D-Dammit all!) Drucidel thinks to himself as he looks down on Scrâg. Scrâg flips into the sky and screams out, "I bet on this hit making contact!" Drucidel flenches after hearing such a thing and covered his body with an X-Guard. His helbram came down with a mighty force and made full contact with Drucidel. Drucidel feels a sudden surge from the Helbram and an explosion of force sends him flying into the floor.
Drucidel: "Tch! His power increased immensely! Plasma Bomb!!!"
Scrâg: "Shit-" *FWISK*
Fong: *Prch* "Woah!"
Baaji: "N-Nrgh! Hm? Good going brother!"
Silvio: "Nrgh! *TING* Tsss! *SHING* ARGH!!! *kaBLOOM* He's so tough!"
Kenny: "Hm hmm!" *Grin*
Silvio lets out a barrage of trident strikes that increase the size of the trident head at the last second. Kenny dodges each by leaving phantom images of himself and going invisible just before feinting. Silvio repeatedly fell for the trick as he closed in on Kenny. Or at least that's what it looked like. Silvio was actually leaving behind Destruction Tridents after each amd every miss. Kenny reappears and notices he is surrounded from all sides. Silvio smiles amd snaps his fingers, blowing up the area as a result.
(Silvio and Scrâg are really turning it up! Hmm.) *Prch* Fong punches Baaji in the gut while keeping a close eye on her subordinates. Silvio flies through the smoke and touches down on the floor. He prepares to dash in on Drucidel, thinking Kenny had gone down due to his signature disappearing upon impact. Silvio leaps forward and gets smacked in the back of the head, sending him flying past Scrâg and Fong's battlegrounds.
Scrâg: "What the hell!? *SMASH* GAAAH! (Damn! I let my guard down!)"
Fong: "Crap, Silvio!"
Silvio: "I'm all… good Fong. *Stagger* *Step* He got me, but I can easily continue. Don't worry!"
Fong: "Mhm."
Kenny: "That's what I like to hear! *Step* *step* Now then, little Silvio. *Twirl* *swish* Let's continue this little match of ours. I'll force that Stuliathan out of ya!"
Fong: "Is he crazy!?"
Scrâg: "Gah! What's wrong with your pal over there Drucidel!? Rasho is too dangerous to be woken up here!" *TING*
Drucidel: "Hehe! Don't worry about it brat. Just focus on staying in this fight! GRAAAAH!!!" *BOOOM*
Silvio: "HYAAAA!!!"
Kenny: "Keheh!" *SWISH* *FWIP*
*kwiTING* Silvio and Kenny clash head to head once more. Making the ground erupt beneath them. Fong and Baaji do the same but Baaji is blown away due to Fong's superior Physical Zenchi. Baaji uses his hammer head to ridge the ground and rebound. He twirls above his head and carpet bombs their field of battle with an electrical minefield. Fong uses a flame dome with phoenix wings to sweep and block the blasts. The blasts cease and Fong rushes out of her dome as it is dispelled. She blitzes Baaji's person and transmutes her essence into radiation and heat, then compresses it. She then fuels a huge heatwave within the palm of left hand.
Baaji: "The temperature around here has skyrocketed. Tch! Birthright + Element: Thunder God's Suit!"
Fong: "True Element: Molecular Scorch!"
A flash of light blinds the eyes and a crashing sound us heard. The mountains were falling apart with a gigantic scorch mark that expanded for miles. Baaji was left with half his armor scraped away as he sat with guard up. Puzzled by the technique he had withstood, turning around to see the aftermath. Just then, Fong blitzes him and kicked him in the stomach, forcing him into a nearby mountain. It falls apart from the magnitude of the force.
Fong: "Mhm, now how are those two doing. *Turn* Woah, look at Scrâg. He's forcing Drucidel back with pure skill and his ability to wield his Helbram."
Drucidel: (D-Damn brat!!)
Drucidel's hammer is brought down and clashes with the head of Scrâg's Helbram. They repel one another Scrâg takes a step back and twirls his helbram behind his person. Bringing it to his forefront and attempting to cut Drucidel's right hip. Drucidel steps back and regains his balance, bringing down his hammer once more to stop Scrâg's swing. They let out a huge leak of essence from the clash, repelling each other once more. Scrâg notices that Drucidel is off-balance once more and rapidly twirls his helbram to build power. But this is nothing more than a farce.
Drucidel: "I must! Regain my ground before I get cleaved!"
Scrâg: "Keh!" *Grin* *FWISH*
The butt of Scrâg's helbram hits Drucidel directly on his neck, causing him to be stunned as he steps back a few more feet. Scrâg wastes no time in following up with a Zenchi charged swing of his helbram. Drucidel doesn't falter even while trying to regain his composure. He uses his off balance posture as a crutch to build up force in his swing. His hammer was smashed into the ground and his body was bent back a bit from not releasing it as it flew back. He lifts the hammer after firmly planting his left foot forward and into the ground. His torso swings forward and an ocean's pressure worth of Zenchi began swelling up within the head of the hammer.
(I'd better transfer all the Zenchi to the blade, so I don't get blown away.) Scrâg thought to himself as he picked up on the immaculate amount of Zenchi being gathered. Drucidel Folds his body forward and brings his hammer down with a mighty slam. Scrâg swings his helbram inward, aiming for Drucidel's stomach region, but hoping for a counter at best.
Scrâg: "Take this, my new technique!!! Birthright + Zenchi: Zenchi's All-In HAND!!!" *fwishOOOP*
Drucidel: "N-NRGH! Birthright + Zenchi: True Armored Lightning HAMMER!!!"
Their two attacks clash and erupt with waves and waves of essence flowing out. The ground turns to brittle for miles in every direction. The burst of force causes a wind pressure that has even Fong having to brace herself or she'd be blown into a mountain. A twinkle star like flutters danced within the center of their pillar of essence. Then… a massive explosion of force bursts forth and sends both, Drucidel and Scrâg flying.
Fong: *Step* *step* *LEAP* "Hup! I… gotcha Scrâg!!!"
Scrâg: "N-Nrgh, thanks Fong!"
*CRASH* Fong smashes into the floor with Scrâg in tow. They hop to their feet and await Baaji's and Drucidel's next moves. But to their surprise, both brothers sat with their arms folded as they looked up into the sky. Scrâg and Fong do the same, only to find a falling Silvio crashing into them. *BOOOM*
Kenny: "Man, you're just as solid in battle as I thought you'd be." *Step* *step*
Fong: "You alright, Silvio?"
Scrâg: "Yeah man, you good?"
Silvio: "Yeah, his magic is just tricky as hell. Never met someone like him before."
Scrâg: (So he IS tougher than those two. Wonder if-)
Kenny: "Baaji, Drucidel… stand down for now. I've seen what I need… you guys are impressive in skill and prowess. The concepts you were born possessing hold great promise, but… it won't be enough to topple me. For I am… The Magician!" *pewTEWWF*
Fong: (That's right… his birthright is weaponry and suits based around Mage arts and extreme witchcraft. Otherwise known as Warlock.) "Guys… be careful here. He's strong… really strong."
Scrâg: "Mrhm!" *FWISH* *He readies his helbram*
Silvio: "Tch… (He was only testing me!?)"
The dust clears and Kenny went from a school senior in his daily, battle-ready school uniform. To wearing a full on magician's dress suit that was all white. The ends of his sleeves and pants as well as his button down, were all black and perfectly transitioning to white using shades of grey. His shoes and gloves were also black while his bowtie was blood red. He had a top hat that was all white with a black trim. His cane had gained a few inches in length and was now ¾'s his size. He raised both arms up into a 'T' pose and smiled as he eyed them down.
Kenny: "This is Ken-Knox and his Grand Magic Fiasco!" *Bow* *Hat Removal*
Silvio: "His essence levels have risen exponentially. Stay on guard!"
Scrâg & Fong: "RIGHT!"
Kenny: "Haha! But how does one stay on guard from this? The ol' Rabbit Hole. *Fwish* And… out we go!" *PLOP*
Scrâg: "What the!?"
Fong: "He pulled Silvio out of his hat!?"
Kenny: "Sí, this is the rabbit."
Silvio: "GAAAUGH!!! Let go of me! *FWISH*
Kenny: "Sure thing!" *Release* *Fwi-FWISH*
Fong: (He's more than twice as fast as Silvio right now, and I can BET he's holding back!)
Scrâg: (W-Woah…)
*SMACK* Silvio is punched in the jaw and anyone who can track the movements involved, could see it clear as day. The scrunched look of Silvio's face as his cheek and jaw turn into literal waves just before he flashes away. *BOOM* A huge crater can be seen in a nearby icy mountain. Silvio was unconscious from what they could see.
"Son of a-" *PEW* Scrâg flashes off with his helbram aimed at Kenny. He wraps a huge amount of dense vines around himself and propels forward for a blitz. Kenny isn't phased one bit and twirls his staff until you can see it smoothly transition into a bouquet of purple flowers with blooms that look like tongues.
Kenny: "Have a sniff of these and take a seat, shrub." *Fwish* *SMACK*
Scrâg: "GRAAAUFH!!! (Those were poisonous and I took a big whiff of them.)"
Fong: "Scrâg! (He took out Silvio with one punch and already has Scrâg in the ropes! This is… Ken-Knox the Magician.) Flaming Sphere!" *FUER*
Kenny: "Hm? *Fwish* You see fire, I see Liquid molecules dancing about." *Splash*
Fong: "Damn! (But at least Scrâg got the breathing room he needed.)"
Kenny: (Even with my glove on, that still stung. Fong Flametress, eh?) *Glare* "Hmph! *Grin* Now I know!" *PEW*
Scrâg: "WHAT!? (So fast!)"
Fong: "No you don't!" *PEW*
Fong dashes to Scrâg's person within a millisecond, beating Kenny by just a hair. She pushes Scrâg out of the way and grabs hold of Kenny's leg. She restates her earlier cry and tells him, "No… you don't." Of course Kenny being the playful guy he is, his response was simply, "Yes… I do." Then *FWOOSH* … a dozen doves swarm Fong while Kenny appears directly behind her. Dashing after Scrâg with no hesitation in sight.
Fong: "Watch out Scrâg!!!"
Scrâg: "Damn! (I still haven't cured the poison.) *TING* Nrgh!"
Kenny: "Hup!"
Kenny fires a powerful knee that stuns Scrâg on contact. A perfect heavy strike to his chin, and before he could recover… Kenny kicked him in the chest with his right leg. Pulling his staff back in the process. "GYAAA!!!" Scrâg yelled while sliding back a few dozen yards. He regains himself and rises from his knee, only to see Kenny winding his staff up like a bat. A bat prepared to smack an easy grandslam. But he made no effort to get closer which left Scrâg incredibly puzzled.
"Ready, my guy?" Kenny asked while staring at Scrâg who was still highly confused. Kenny swung his staff and it twirled away and towards the back of Kenny. Fong and Scrâg stared on in confusion as it began to come back like a boomerang. One that was about to smack Kenny right on the side of his head. Kenny smiled on as he held up his left hand, with his fingers ready ti snap. Scrâg stared as he tried to figure it out and just as the staff was about to make contact… *SNAP* *POOF* Kenny and Scrâg swap places!
Fong: (What the!?)"
Scrâg: "Huh?" *fwip* *Fwip* *FWip* *FWIP*... *THWACK*
Scrâg was smacked in the back of the head by the head of the staff. His vision became blurry, and the ground had become his soulmate within the matter of a second. *THUD*
Fong: "SCR G!!!"
Kenny: *Step* *Step* "No worries, he'll be fine. His plant half has near unlimited regeneration. I just needed him unconscious."
Scrâg: (That thing is as hard as wartanium!) *Turn* "N-Nrgh! Wh-What the… hell?"
Kenny: "Stay out the way for now. HRN!" *PLOW*
Scrâg is kicked into a nearby rocky mountain range where he slides for miles. Only to smash into the biggest mountain which was half the height of mount everest. Every bit of it came crashing down on the poor boy, burying his unconscious body.
Kenny: "They'll be back in the fray soon enough. And since we started this as a team match, it's only decided when one team conquers the other. So they don't fail either, but Fong. Oh beautiful Fong… you burned a brotha earlier and it caught my interest. Before I get Silvio to at least use that beast's powers, I want to see yours." *Grin*
Fong: "Well then… I'm flattered. So to respect your strength as a fellow Gahwardian, I'll show you something neat. You see, you were wrong earlier."
Kenny: "Huh? Whatchumean?!"
Fong: "My Fallen is not of fire… I'm the Phoenix- Fiend Fallen, *FWI-POOSH* such is my Fallen Possesion!"
Kenny: "Hrnhee!!!" *Smile*
Kenny has shown his true hand… or card? Whatever… the battle has intensified as Scrâg and Silvio were taken out in an instant. And Fong reveals her version of her and Silvio's Birthright. It's Kenny VS Fong as Haydes' search for Le Destrucíon continues…
Next Chapter: Kenny VS Fong!
A great End to Challenge Day!
