The Demon King's Contest 1: Finished!

[Chibi Kitsune Warrior]

Haruka blocked the kick with a wind encased forearm, the wind softening the blow to her already injured arm. In retaliation she brought her feet up and kicked off the face of the spirit, performing a backflip and landing spryly on the ground.  

[Silas Parrish]

Klara and her Spielzeug both felt a tooth-cracking blow to the jaw, sending the spirit reeling and falling to the ground. Klara's hands went to her face.
"I'm sorry, Klara..." Weisse Frau whispered as her spiritual pressure began to fade.
"No, I'm sorry," Klara whispered back as she collected herself. "I'm not yet strong enough to keep you in this form for long. I shouldn't lose concentration so easily." Weisse Frau only smiled back from where she lay in a rapidly spreading puddle of water. Klara sighed.
"Zurückkehren. Kern!" the young bount commanded. Her fighting spirit condensed herself into a single glowing shaft of spiritual matter, giving off a soft blue glow. This shaft traveled like fluid to Klara's hands, taking the form of a two-handed sword when it touched the skin of its master. Klara propelled herself forward, slashing over her head with a glowing blade of magically-cohesive water.

Haruka met Klara in the middle of her attack, catching Klara's blade in the teeth of her sai. She focused her energy into her free hand, surrounding the blade and handle of her second sai in pure energy. Using the handle of the sai, she struck at Klara's ribcage.  

[Silas Parrish]

Klara gasped as the sai impacted her bones, and coughed once. A trickle of blood ran from her mouth. She stepped backward, fighting the urge to fall to her knees. Weisse Frau's Kern condensed again into a bracelet and ring. Youkai all around the stadium went wild at seeing one of their own win for the first time that day. Klara steadied herself, and threw one last futile punch.  

[Chibi Kitsune Warrior]

((OMG! I actually won for once! Yaaay! =D))

Haruka caught Klara's fist softly. "It was an honor fighting you," she said, smiling. "You can leave everything to me." She offered her hand to the injured girl and helped her limp out of the arena.  

[Silas Parrish]

((Speed roll! =D))
Ezekiel watched the third winner make her way to the box set aside for participants of the next round, and could not help but snarl quietly to himself.
What fools! Flitting about, doing this, doing that -- thinking that their own existences were the final and most important ones they would know. He knew better. He tugged angrily upon his Hell-Chain. He had proven himself to be the strongest of the Togabito in a bid for a spot in the King's tournament. If he could ensure that the King's game went in his favor, then Ryuu had promised to permanently break Ezekiel's chains and set him free in the human world. He had jumped at the opportunity, fighting mercilessly in the qualifying tournament held in the depths of Hell itself. He drew his cloak about himself, and unsheathed his massive sword. His eyes bulged as he saw the childlike creature sauntering toward him. Was this all the human realm had to offer the most powerful of the Togabito?

MIKA wandered shyly into the arena, glancing occasionally into the crowd. She had never even seen this many people before and it made her very uncomfortable to be under scrutiny by so many eyes. It was only when MIKA reached her position in the arena that she finally looked at her opponent. He scared her. The way he looked, the way his reiki felt... Even in Makai she had never met someone like this man.
Her normally gentle, soft features hardened as she prepared for battle. She must beat this man at any cost.
Taking a deep breath, she stretched her arms above her head, spread her feet, and took a neutral fighting stance.  

[Silas Parrish]

Ezekiel's dark features twisted into a foul grimace.
"I do not make a habit of fighting children or worms... but you are in my way." Without another word he slammed the massive gladius into the ground, sending a shockwave laced with his reiatsu.

Mika couldn't get out of the way of the attack in time. When the shockwave reached her, she fell to her knees.
She struggled to her feet, dusting her pants off before rushing at Ezekiel. She slashed at him with her weapon.  

[Silas Parrish]

Ezekiel scoffed and swatted the girl aside with a massive, scarred hand.
"You were a fool to come here! I have suffered the flames of Hell itself, and you come before me with such pitiful toys? Ha! Do both of us a favor and die quickly."
He stabbed his sword into the earth, causing a stone pillar to rise up from beneath the flooring and fall horizontally in front of him. Ezekiel kicked the pillar toward the small Youkai.

MIKA's expression continued to grow fiercer, her anger growing. It was always like this when she fought. It was as if her quiet, shy self was possessed by her fighting spirit. Just a little longer as she would show him...
As the pillar got closer, she jumped and almost cleared the top of the pillar. Her timing had been just barely off though, and the top of the pillar slammed into her legs, sending her sprawling on the ground.
She leaped up, unwilling to give up. Once again she attacked with her tiger claws.  

[Silas Parrish]

The Togabito felt a surge in the girl's spiritual pressure that was quite surprising. He fought to contain a grin as her attack connected, dragging bloody lines across his torso.
"Ha! You surprise me!" he boomed, swinging his sword powerfully at shoulder level.

MIKA squeaked as the blade pierced the flesh of her arm, despite her effort to block. She gritted her teeth against the cold pain that ran through the rest of her arm and shoulder. In an effort to distract him and put some space between them, she sprung backward, performing a slightly wobbly spin kick in the process.  

[Silas Parrish]

The burly Togabito rolled his shoulder, and the small Youkai's kick missed him entirely.
"Enough play!" he roared, stabbing his stony black blade into the ground. a line of stalactites erupted sequentially, starting at his feet and ending up at MIKA's position.

Mika jumped in the air and kicked off the side of the stalagmite, avoiding all damage. She had barely landed before she was charging the closest stalagmite. She focused some energy to her foot and slammed into the stalagmite with a flying kick, sending the chunk of rock flying back at Ezekiel.
