Re: Darkstar's Ranch (Cross Grave)
"3! 2! 1! FIGHT!" the announcer sounded the two sides off.
"Ruin, go!" Melpha announced with a gesture of her hand, before the werewolf took the front.
"Hollow, crush her." Valdis commanded emotionlessly, as the black knight charged forth, moving with lightning speed despite how heavy her armor looked as a trail of dust followed her steps.
Both Ruin and Hollow raced at each other, clearing the entire field in less than a second, before clashing against one other. Ruin did a quick lunge and slice, before Hollow's black cape flourished as she rolled under the werebeast. Turning, she took a knee and held a hand out towards Ruin, before a blast of fire suddenly shot at Ruin. It seemed Ruin had been set aflame, but the werewolf leaped over the fire, claws aiming for the knight. And they landed home, impaling into Hollow's armor as if slicing butter as the crowd screamed as the first connection was made in Melpha's favor. But it wasn't over. Hollow quickly spun in a full circle as Ruin retreated, the sound of steel slicing against flesh as a fine red crescent shaped line of blood formed on the sand. Ruin suffered a fair injury from such a powerful and speedy attack that would have split someone like Razzie in half with ease.
"Ruin! Switch!" Melpha called out, before the wounded Ruin fell back, and Anubis was charging into the fray.
"Hollow, retreat." Valdis announced.
"You're not getting away." Anubis announced calmly, before her golden staff glowed, and released a brilliant flash of light at Hollow. In an instant, right before everyone's eyes, Hollow was turned to stone.
"Frederika." Valdis called out, before the huge zombie groaned, and charged at Anubis, just as the tan woman delivered a blast of magic from her staff that crumbled hollow into pieces, sending a scream from the crowd in response.
"THE FIRST DOWN IS HOLLOW!" the siren screamed.
But the tides changed quickly. Frederika came into the fray, and quickly caught Anubis in her hands. The crowd went wild as the huge figure subdued the queen of the sands, and Anubis let out a breathless cry. "It's useless." Valdis said calmly. "Frederika has the strength of a dragon."
Her announcement seemed to hold true, before a crack was heard, and Frederika promptly tossed Anubis away, her body rolling along the sands like a limp doll. "And then Anubis is immediately taken down as well! The priests are going to have a nightmare bringing them back from sure death!" the siren shouted.
"Bow!" Melpha sends in her minotaur, as the lumbering giant rears back her massive fist, and opts to crush the minotaur. However, her fist stops short as the powerful minotaur catches her fist with her own body, albeit having taken some damage. In retaliation, Bow takes her axe, and swings wide, chopping Frederika's arm off from the elbow, before leaping into the air, so high that none would expect a minotaur capable, before slamming her axe into Frederika's head, bringing the huge monster down.
"FREDERIKA IS DOWN! Valdis has lost her best fighter! All Valdis has now is Whisper!"
On that note, even Razzie didn't see it coming. The doppelganger was suddenly there, right by Bow, before delivering a fatal slash. It wasn't even certain where she hit, but Bow immediately went down, with a pool of blood underneath her. "It's down to the last two fighters!" the siren announced as the crowd was screaming. "And Ruin is wounded! Can she do it!? Can she beat herself in this condition!? No, wait!"
Ruin was just tossing aside a bottle, her wound completely healed. "Melpha had gone shopping to the new shop in town and bought herself some Holstaurus milk! Ruin's been healing this entire time, and she's good as new! Excellent play by Melpha!"
Then, the two werewolves rushed at each other, their battle becoming an allout brawl, slashing and biting each other, fighting like rabid dogs moving twenty times faster, Razzie's eyes unable to track either of them before she suddenly heard Valdis.
"Whisper... Frederika." Valdis announced, before Whisper broke away from Ruin... And the crowd screamed their hardest at the sight.
Whisper transformed into a second Frederika, and the match was over in an instant, Ruin was crushed.
"IT'S OVER! IT'S OVER! VALDIS WINS THE MATCH! THAT WAS UNBELIEVABLE!" she screamed as the crowd clapped and cheered, a whole audience of mamono and humans alike. The announcer began to go over rudimentary congratulations as Valdis approached Melpha, who had sunken to her knees in defeat.
"You haven't been training at all. Stop your pointless search for fertility and your humiliation will cease as well." she lectured Melpha, before turning on that note, and leaving the blond woman in disgrace.
