The Demon King's Contest 1: Finished!

[Silas Parrish]

Hedy growled as the blade ripped into her shoulder and chest, drawing out a spray of blood. She rolled away from the flesh-ripping chain, and retaliated with a forward lunge.

Kaori swung her whip around Hedy's weapon and deflected it. Using the battered remains of her umbrella, she beat her opponent upside the head.  

[Silas Parrish]

((Last defensive roll!))
Hedy ducked under the weapon, but her spiritual energy was spent. She collapsed into a heap, and Ludwig returned to the gingerbread man.  

[Chibi Kitsune Warrior]

Kaori brushed her now dirty hair back out of her face.
"Ugh, thanks to you I have to go wash up... Again." she said to the crumpled form before her. She resealed her zanpakuto and slid the blade slowly back into its battered "scabbard". With a slight huff, she glided out of the arena, out of the stadium, and into the nearest clothing shop.  

[Silas Parrish]

The proud Quincy of mixed lineages was the last of Daisuke's team to enter the ring. She let her Quincy cross hand loose, prepared to summon her bow at a moment's notice. She bowed respectfully to her opponent as he entered on the other side.
"I wish you the best of luck. As long as one of us makes it through to challenge the demons and their king, I will be happy with any outcome that this match ends with!"

Takizawa returned his opponents bow. "I feel the same way. As long as someone remains to defend the throne from evils ones, I am content. May the best contender win," he replied with a smile.  

[Silas Parrish]

Formalities exchanged, the referee gave his signal once more.
"Fight!"

#1

Takizawa calmly walked forward and paused just outside of his opponents range. "May the best contender win." he repeated before striking with his staff.  

[Silas Parrish]

Gabriele dropped to her hands and knees, and kicked upward toward the staff, sending it back to knock hard on its owner's skull.
"You must be faster than that!" she giggled. Her Hirenkyaku carried her a safe distance back, and she fired a single spirit arrow toward the monk's chest, taking care to aim to incapacitate, and not to maim.

Takizawa leaped to the side, barely escaping the arrow.
"Same to you, my friend," he responded with a laugh. He charged within striking distance again and swept his staff at Gabriele's ankles.  

[Silas Parrish]

Gabriele tossed herself backward in a handspring, landing deftly and retaliating with a second and third arrow.

Takizawa dove to one side, but one arrow pierced him in the shoulder and the second grazed him across the side. He grunted and laid a hand across his wound. Blood was already blossoming across his robe.
Time to take this up a notch.
He pushed himself back to his feet, pulling his hatchet out as he did so. Holding the hatchet before him, he whispered some words and the hatchet glowed a bright orange. In a movement almost too fast to see, he reversed the hatchet, pulled his arm back, and threw it in an arc, aiming for her torso.  

[Silas Parrish]

Gabriele gasped and saw the incoming projectile, but there was not time to react before the blunt side of it struck her in the chest. She heaved painfully, and recovered in time to distance herself again from the monk.
She cast an eye to her Sanrei glove, but thought better of using it. Instead, she launched herself into the air with Hirenkyaku, and shot five arrows in rapid succession, evenly spaced in hopeful anticipation of the monk's next move.

Takizawa groaned as several of the arrows met their mark. There had been too many and not enough room to dodge. His opponent had cleverly made sure of that. He fell to one knee, his injuries beginning to get the better of him.
Taking a deep breath, he pushed himself back to his feet. Holding his hand before him, he whispered a few words and the hatchet flew across the arena into his hand. He ran forward and swung vertically at Gabriele's shoulder.

((Just want to throw it out there that he's going to continue using the blunt side of the hatchet for the rest of the battle. He doesn't wanna injure Gabriele too badly. xD; ))  

[Silas Parrish]

Gabriele summoned her Ginrei Kojaku and used spirit energy to forge a glowing shield. She stopped the monk's blunted attack, and retaliated with a jab at a pressure point at the base of the monk's ribcage.
