Ark 24 Episode 28: Athena vs Yumi!

Ryoji: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ReLHoRB0bGM&list=PL77989A212EACAF71&index=17 )The skies were riddled with strom clouds, as flashes of lightning ensued over the sector games areana. A high stone pilar its feet above the entire arena itself, and resting on it’s peak, would’ve been a blonde woman, with armor kissed in gold, and skin touched by the sun itself. Athena is the Greek virgin goddess of reason, intelligent activity, arts and literature. Athena is the daughter of Zeus. She sprang full grown in armour from his forehead, thus has no mother. She is fierce and brave in battle but, only wars to defined the state and home from outside enemies. She is the goddess of the city, handicrafts, and agriculture. She invented the bridle, which permitted man to tame horses, the trumpet, the flute, the pot, the rake, the plow, the yoke, the ship, and the chariot. She is the embodiment of wisdom, reason, and purity. She was Zeus's favorite child and was allowed to use his weapons including his thunderbolt. Her favorite city is Athens. Her tree is the olive. The owl is her bird. She is a virgin goddess. Her armor consist of a single breast plate and armor crafted by the same material of the breast plate known as the Aegis. The Aegis is an enchanted breastplate belonging to the Greek goddess of wisdom and warfare, Athena, famously bearing Medusa's head. The breastplate was fashioned by Hephaestus in his forge. The breastplate/armor which can magically protect her from any form of harm, by absorbing energy attacks or acting as a force field. she has been able to reflect energy in a desired direction. The limits of the breastplate's protection remains unknown, but has been able to withstand blows from the god Hercules and in her spar battle against Zeus, it protected her from the Olympian skyfather's lightning bolt's. She bore a shield with medusa’s ensignia on it, and a spear, both gold in color to match the rest of her armor.

(http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/yakuza-mob-roleplay/images/f/fa/Atenea_by_GENZOMAN.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20141022075528 ) Athena would tap her spear’s base on the ground a couple of times, and lightning would strike from the skies, coating the base of the ground. “Come…Woman. Face me in combat, and let us be done with this tiresome game…” Athena would wait for her opponent to step into the ring, as she’d glare, waiting for this “Yumi Ikeda” to make her way down. Athena would look to the side, with a raised brow. “Funny…Rapheal said he was going to spectate today…hmm.” ////in the stands//// Connor would be standing idol with josh in the seat beside him, waving and shouting at the top of his lungs. “MY GIRLFRIENDS TITS ARE BIGGER THAN YOUR’S LADY! HAHAHAHAHA!” Josh would shout now fully healed. “you can do it Yumi! Put in that work!” Josh would then grab his face and have a worried look. “I…I don’t know if I can watch this go down.”

Gri: Yumi steps out on to the arena with an almost annoyed expression…why she was annoyed could be anyones guess, that was just the girls usual face. Athena had called her out and the dragon Halfling stops in the middle of the grand fighting grounds all the while flexing her fingers as each one cracked audibly. Long locks of red were placed in to a loose pony tail, her bangs braided on each side of her face while she wore her usual white hakami pants and green vest with gold trimming in a Chinese fashion. Black slippers graced her feet as they finish walking up to the Goddess who stood up on her high pillar. The mighty woman came down only to tap against the earth beneath them and the entirety of it turned in to pure gold. To this Yumis eyes widen before narrowing into slits from pure dragon curiosity at the sight of shiny things…what was she getting at? “Come…Woman. Face me in combat, and let us be done with this tiresome game…” Yumi parts her lips to agree until Connors obvious yelling interrupts her and she becomes even more annoyed. “Not…the support I was looking for but what was I expecting?” She murmured softly before taking a slow inhale, the inside of her mouth glowing ember as her form shifts and morphs in to her dragon side. Yumis skin becomes harder as scales crawl up what was once soft flesh. Yumi can grow scales of varying size which often possess great durability. Being the scales of a mighty mystical creature, they grant the weilder, a moderate resistants to various elements, and corporeal/non coporeal threats. Yumi can generate an innate armor as a part of her body, which is resistant to attacks, harm or pain and temperature extremes. Like many dragons, because of their nomadic like tendencies and ability to adapt to the situations of their surroundings, the Dragon Scales that cover her body will vibrate with sound to allow her body and ears to remain at a calm equilibrium. This means that even on explosions like a flash bang or extremely high levels of sound will not affect her hearing or her body. Some of the scales matched her skin tone while others were tinted with green and even had a shine to them. Blue hues once again narrow in to slits and stay that way as her canines grow in size, her jaw doing the same to give her an almost feral and animalistic expression. Chakra would begin to pour out of her though the power Deus bestowed would not be used yet as a red aura outlined her image. With sharp claws extended she beckons the Goddess to make her move when ready as her lips form a dangerous frown. These games had been going on long enough and she wanted to go home…too bad there would be no home to return to.

Ryoji: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4Vlh3LTxbo&list=PLYNBny7IRlVm1xHhYq5qHlNSsKkocXSF2&index=27 ) Athena watched as the girl stepped out onto the battlefield, and began to make her chi present. Scales cascaded her body, and claws erupted at her fingertips. An aura resonating around her body, as her eyes slitted. “It makes me proud to see a woman not slain by the lust of man…tis a shame I must put you down.” Athena would suddenly vanish! From her spot atop the large pillar! Leaving nothing behind, not even a silhouette, Athena would’ve actually blasted sky high into the air, about 50,000 feet upwards, before turning her direction and choosing to fly straight forward back down towards the ground with her shield up and her spear pointed towards yumi’s position as she’d attempt to shiscabob this girl and take the majority of the floor with it! If this impalement connected yumi would be dead in sight, with the spear stringing straight through the her body and into the ground itself. However, if she had moved, or blocked the spear, a large shockwave would’ve erupted from that area of origin and whipped through the area and stadium! Athena was never hesitant, as, she’d land on the ground, a blue spot emanating from her foot, as she did, and she’d begin to twirl the bladed staff around in one hand, attempting to behead the young dragon, with a blade sharper than tungsten! Weather this was dodged or blocked, Athena would then begin to thrust the spear 100 times per half a second, and attempt to impale the young girl like a piece of swiss cheese! Each time she’d thrust, she’d take a step forward, antoher blue spot appearing beneath her divine feet, showing off her heavenly glow. The trick is that for every 3 spear strikes yumi dodged, Athena would immediately resort to a horizontal left/right sweep with the spear, moving at 0.001 of a second, fast enough to make it look like a fient or an afterimage, but it was oh so real. She’d aim this sweet at yumi’s neck, chest, stomach, and hips, planning that even if the little dragon dodged or dealt with the stabs, she’d have another attack to deal with right after. Athena’s strieks all aimed at various vital points, that would kill Yumi on spot if she messed up even once.

Gri:  “It makes me proud to see a woman not slain by the lust of man…tis a shame I must put you down.” Yumi continues to be silent, watching for a first move and it is indeed delivered as the Goddess vanishes. Yumi doesn’t struggle to find out where she goes even in such intense speeds the dragon Halfling keeps up by using infrared perception, giving her the ability to sense a persons heat signature and stay locked on to them regardless of where they might be hiding or how quickly their speed is, it was as if placing a target on the back of your enemy. The back of her vest rips as two impressive scaled wings span out stretching as far as possible before shooting off at violent speeds it cracks the gold underneath the soles of her feet, cutting through the wind and not only meeting Athena half way but appearing behind her as the spear would make its hit on to the ground and yes the blast would be great but her scales absorb the shock wave to keep her equilibrium steady though that wasn’t to say the debris knocking in to her hadn’t made a hit but her scales were intent on protecting her. Now with an opening the Halfling forms an inferno from her mouth and blows a ferocious tidal wave of fire on to the Goddess the moment her spear is moved to try to harm her once more. This could be taken as a distraction or a counter attack regardless it was needed to give Yumi the chance at her next assault, a blaze of fire on to her claw that grows in size and attempts at a flurry of swipes to the Goddess breast plate to try and sear through it! She jumps through the flames, unharmed by them as her arm goes swiping from left to right in harsh agility to try and draw first blood. If the slashes hadn’t made a cut through the armor or if Athena would block or dodge Yumi would not allow that to deter her as she releases a blast of pure heat in a 10 mile radius that could not only knock a being and send them soaring through the air but would sizzle their flesh upon first contact from the alarming high temperatures.

Ryoji: Athena would watch as she could see that Yumi would’ve blasted up from her ground positioning, coming up to meet her half way in the aerial collision, but just as she was about to attack with her spear, he’d come to find that she herself had moved! Yes moved out of the way, and to many her speedy movements would’ve granted merit but not to one who was in tune with the cosmic energies of god hood. Athena’s senses were at best low grade omnipotent, as she could hear the dragon halfings lungs inhale to take a breathe and the sound of embers flying free form her mouth in a wooshing noise. Athena would remain in a squatting position, allowing her armor to do her work for her, absorbing the ambient dragon flame, and givng the gold metal a bit of a hot tinge to it. “Hades was right….they’v e been empowered.” She retorts, as she took the full bulk of the flame with little damaging after effects only to turn and face the girl head on! When she saw her claws glow coming at her breast plate again, Athena would let the armor do it’s job again, absorbing the kinetic and heat energy of the attack, rendering only a scratch on her armor. A scratch? Impressive. The other scratches came, and asthenia would block some and take some to the plate, all scratching it up but the chest plate holding steady none the less. Athena would draw her shield arm back, already knowing yumi’s next method possibly before she did. “She wasn’t effected by the shockwave…the scales.” Athena’s eyes darted over yumi’s body, like a computer analyzing everything about her. “the energy signature. Affinity to flame. Draconic features, imply she is of draconic origin. Meaning her scales create an equilibrium. Conventional force will not suffice…must dig deeper.” Athena had yumi’s entire move set in her head by this point, via her prowess as a combat specialist. The user has an encyclopedic knowledge in hand-to-hand fighting styles; therefore understanding and analyzing opponents style of combat and flaws in the opponent's attack and defense. He can also use attacks that can automatically knock down the opponent or use the strength of the opponent to his favor. The user has a vast knowledge of the opponent's body and their limitations, have an incredible perception of opponents and the users surrounding areas using it to his or her advantage, and can copy or mix several types of martial arts and movements and understand how a special attack works in matter of minutes. This power can be enhanced by the users experience and improvement of skill. Masters of this abilities can counter or detect flaws on opponents Special Attacks. When  she released her heat wave Athena did not deter, as she’d hold up her shield, blocking the vast majority of the hot godly energy coming her way, whilst pushing off of the ball of her right foot and coming in towards yumi at the speed of mach 1, only to attempt to use the momentum and bash the shield against the Halflings face with a loud “BANG!” the metallic ping could be heard, as  the wave whipped through the skies, and sent Yumi’s body hovering in the air by 20 feet. “HAAAAAA!” Athena would, if this was or wasn’t successful, shout to the heavens and call forth a lightning bolt from the sky, which took the appearance of a gigantic sky like serpent! (http://s7.postimg.org/4mja9dg57/Kirin.png ) the fun fact is that people knew she could use her father’s bolt, but not many knew she had mastered it’s craft. The moment the dragon appeared, it would’ve struck down towards yumi’s body with the quickness of high end lightning, moving 1/1,000th of  a second towards her! The bolt about as wide as the damned stadium itself, if this connected, yumi’s body would possibly not be burned, or even charged, but disintegrated into pure nonexsistence. The high end energy, composing the lightning was the of the cosmic brand, meaning if absorbed, she may be in for terrible surprises later throughout the battle.( http://stream1.gifsoup.com/view2/1437110/kirin-o.gif ) As the attack unfolded, and the radius so great, dodging was nearly inconceivable, Athena (not being harmed by her own energy) would stand with her sticks end in the ground, and take a few more steps back, the floor lighting up as she did yet again, as she’d await to see the half dragon make a come back, or not come back at all.

Gri: The heat blast was blocked by that damn shield and Yumi would admit, Athena was very well protected that she’d need to be stripped from her armor and shield though that would be the least of her worries as Athena shoots off her feet only to come soaring to Yumi with a slam of her shield right onto her face that does send the Halfling up sky high but the wings extend to stop the momentum and gain control. She glares, a bruise on the side of her face but she ignores it in favor of descending back to the ground as the skies darken and Athena calls on to a bolt of lightning from daddy. It figures…the form of a dragon appears and Yumi rose a slow brow at that…a dragon? Seriously? Her feet spread shoulder width apart and she is focused on the task at hand and controls her breathing…she wouldn’t be able to dodge this attack and the energy coming out was powerful it put her on edge but she steadied her heart and with extended arms, two digits are pointed out on both hands and when Athena sends the attack right for her, she shuts her eyes and concentrates on the flow, the moment the lightning makes contact she grits her teeth and absorbs the energy, creating a pathway from her finger tips, up the arm to the stomach and up and out the other arm. The stomach is referred to as the sea of chi as it is the source of energy in the body. It is essential that the lightning pass through the stomach as Yumi is almost blasted back, hugging the lightning to her form as it shocks her but she keeps her ground even as the massive shocks of electricity begin to dance all about her body. Eyes finally snap open as she gives out a ferocious battle roar, the lightning coming out from the other extended arm and it would no longer be Athenas energy but Yumis! “HYYYAAAAAAAA!!!” This energy no longer resembled Zeus lightning bolt, it was her own that she sends soaring through as it conducts to objects and even other Olympians about the audience, and blowing up in an earth shattering explosion that end in flames once and if the lightning makes a direct hit.

http://static.comicvine.com/uploads/original/11/117031/4502852-reaction+times+-+lightning.gif

The lightening would well exceed 50,000 degrees Fahrenheit, 30,000+ amps of charge, it was after all an electric burn that can damage the tissues and muscles as Yumi coughs harshly and almost falls to her knees…lightning was not exactly your typical fire though it had the same concept of heat, Yumi hadn’t attempted lightning from Zeus himself but for the first time she hadn’t done too bad as she steadies herself and watches to see if the attack had made a hit or not, given it was the same giant radius first sent towards her. Most of her vest was shredded from the static but she kept her chest tightly bandaged up for battles and they’d be exposed, the white wraps from her breasts down to her stomach as she gives a heated glare towards the Goddess…if this kept up she’d need to use Deus power.

Ryoji: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HrQsGeKN6qk&index=79&list=PLYNBny7IRlVm1xHhYq5qHlNSsKkocXSF2 ) Athena would watch as Yumi preformed her antics, and impressively enough the young girl would’ve absorbed the lightning into her body, using herself as a human lightning conductor. “Impressive…it seems she is reluctant to use that extraordinary amount of chi in her body…well that just won’t do. I refuse to soil the majority of my power on someone who has not yet ascended to my level. Do you hear me girl?!” Athena would slam her spear into the ground, sticking it up right, and Holst her shield on her arm, and extend her free hand outwards. When the Halfling discharged the energy, she should’ve taken note, athena’s reluctance to move away from her own attack. This falls into her mystical energy manipulation. Athena possesses considerable magical abilities as an Olympian goddess, at least on a scale to that of Ares. She can fly at great speed, change her size or form to appear as another person, animal or object, render herself and other beings invisible from mortal eyesight (for example when she was a secret participant in the Trojan War), create illusory images, animate inanimate objects, and control the shape and form of objects. Athena can also project powerful and destructive mystical energy bolts, cross the distance between dimensions and materialize objects. As the bolt of lightning came towards her, it was imbued with Yumi’s own flair, which actually intensified the blast itself! But the moment it even came 3 inches away from Athena, the blast would’ve suddenly been sucked into a blue tinted wormhole!? That’s right! The giant arch of lighting yumi faithfully tried her hardest to redirect was gone in the blink of an eye, her brilliant display crushed in a not so enthusiastic effort. “You know they say lightning doesn’t strike in the same place twice. Then again they also say miracles only happen once as well. Let’s find out.”  A portal would’ve manifested above yumi’s broken and battered location, literally sending the giant over powered lighting blast right back over her, but this time it was only 10 feet above her head! Coming in at the same speed yumi redirected it at but much faster because of the shortest distance! The blast instead of looking like the bluish white lightning this time took a completely white coloration, using her own mystical influence over the bolt to increase it’s power and speed even further! If this bolt connected with yumi this time, her mortal body wouldn’t be able to withstand the impact a second time, as not only would it strike her, but it would send any remains of her body plunging all the way towards the other side of the earth itself! The lightning arch visible from miles away, as it’s glow eclipsed everything around it! If she tried to redirect it a second time, it would overload her mortal/dragon physiology as Athena had already had in her head the amount of energy yumi’s body could regularly hold and using her own influence exceeding that number x10. The explosion would’ve turned the ring itself into a giant 100 foot deep crater, creating a literal clasym where the arena used to be! The vibrations from the thunder felt all around, the Olympus! If yumi managed to survive this ordeal, Athena would be in the same spot as she was before, a mystical blue energy still continuing to fume from the soles of her feet, keeping her afloat this time.

Gri: Slit pupils dilate in shock as a blue portal of some kind that sort of resembled Hades opens up and swallows the attack…but Yumi didn’t have to watch to assume what would happen next as she doesn’t hesitate, shutting her eyes to awaken the extra energy given to her by Deus the immortal. Her dragon features strengthen as her form expands, muscles growing as her mouth shifts in to a semi muzzle, horns ripping out from the scalp of her head and a tail curling itself and becoming known in its green scales and red fur along the mane. Blue flames erupted in an explosion to protect their mistress though the new found power that turned the Halfling into Shinto Yumi would twist and heighten her flames, turning them from a protective blue to a toxic green!

Green flames are considered more intense than blue fire. The flames are this color due to oxygen changes or because of myth. They are harder to control due to increased heat and intensity. In some unnatural uses, this fire can be ignited under water. The incredible energy manipulates the flames as the humanity in her begins to vanish and the dragon inside takes over, a sonic screech blasting all around that causes the ground beneath them to tremble, as destruction chi comes in tidal waves from the Halfling. “HYYYAAAAAHH!!!” The green flames form a protective barrier around their mistress before blasting off in an uncontrollable vortex once the lightning strikes, both powerful energies collide and detonate a ground leveling outbreak of might!

http://postimg.org/image/l3hb002qb/

The arena ground once covered in gold shatters and flies up all around them in devastating debris as the temperatures raise alarmingly high the gold would begin to melt all around them, the audience closest would suffer high degree burns and anyone inside the arena itself i.e Athena could feel the air changing, it became heavy and scorching while their lungs filled with burning oxygen it would damage them and feel like they were being cooked from the inside as green flames did not fade even after they landed all about the arena, they continued to burn! Yumi, now in shredded clothing and gashes would only hunch over with a snarl of her lips and an animalistic sneer. This power coursed through her veins and she only saw red in a tunnel vision pointed right for the Goddess. Her wings extend and with a blur she vanishes with a running speed that matched Athenas if not surpassed it! A gigantic wave of green flame forces itself from the dragons mouth that seemed like a tsunami, extending the entire radius of the arena like a towering barricade!!

http://postimg.org/image/8reemievn/

This green flame would become so powerful the ground would begin to incinerate everything in its path all except for its Mistress as Yumi flies through the wall of flames as if they were merely a mirage in attempts at breaking every bone in this womans body and with a cocked back elbow she shoots down to land a devastating blow to Athenas head, knuckles would meet straight on as every ounce of chakra with her destruction chi pours in to this strike, cutting through the very heated wind with such violence a swirl of green fire could not help but back up its user. If Athena had at any time not been destroyed by the very flames eating away at everything else and had she blocked, the power behind it could be enough to shatter through the womans arms and their trajectory not be slowed down intent on their target, if she’d dodged Yumi would land the hit on to the ground and further continue to cause more destruction as the plates shift and rise the earth from below!!!

Ryoji: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=441qB2UgVwk&index=15&list=PLYNBny7IRlVm1xHhYq5qHlNSsKkocXSF2  ) Athena could feel the heat radiating from Yumi’s body, as she finally took on her  chi blessing from deus and decided to stop playing around. The energy she discharged in order to stop that attack was massive! “So…this is a fraction of Deus’ power. Incredible.” Athena could feel the change in the air and a tingle in her lungs showing just how much heat this young dragon was putting out. Luckily conor and josh had gotten the fuck out of dodge before hand. As the gold arena crackled, yumi had only made Athena’s next plan easier, as the blue energy that seeped from her feet would start to encase her body this time, making a skin tight barrier around her to keep the heated flames from schorhing her lungs entirely. “Very impressive halfing. You’ve still quite a ways to go before yo-“ Athena’s eyes widened as Yumi disappeared from her sights?! “!!” Athena’s eyes scanned the arena! She had actually lost track of this girl?!? Athena would’ve been in for quite the rude awakening as the next thing she saw as a giant tidal wave of green flames erupting from the half morphed dragon! “aha-aaaaaaaaaaaah!!!” Athena would’ve raised her shield to protect her, but as she was being encompassed by the flames the metallic shield was melting!! “This!...impossible! I’ve faced many a dragon with this shield…Deus is probably laughing his behind off right about now.”  Athena’s shield was beginning to draw up, and just as she thought she’d overcame the adversities, next thing she knew the Halfling bursted through the flames! With her elbow cocked back she’d have delivered a terribly and frighteningly powerful blow to the top of athena’s head! The area underneath Athena crumbling, as blood, yes blood, erupted from her thick lips, onto the floor! And her body would’ve been sent skyrocketing from the impact itself! If it wasn’t for her godly physique, she would’ve surely been done in by such power. Before She has survived a massive explosion caused by Pythagoras Dupree that was sufficient to detroy an entire town]. Among the Olympians, his durability is equaled by his brother Ares who is all things physical. Athena would’ve roll along the ground, and stop her fall with one hand, now squatting and one knee, a death glare in her eyes as she stared at the young dragon. “You’re power….is incredible. I will honor you with a proper fight. I will not hold back any longer. You may however, not like what I am about to do next judging by your…beastly appearance.” Athena would spread her arms, and drop her spear, shield, and her armor would even begin to fall off of her body so much so to the point where she only wore a clothe top, and a cloth bottom. Athena would then spread her arms, and if yumi looked she could see the entire arena beginning to go a bright blue hue, the same hue that had been spreading and spewing itself from her body since this very battle began! If yumi had noticed it in time she may have been able to stop it, but alas, it was to late. The ground would shave violently surpassing even the highest measurements on a rictor scale. The gold around the two combatants would’ve begun to not only mold and fix itself, but walls would’ve started to form, in various places of the arena. If the Halfling would’ve tried to attack Athena, she would’ve been repelled by a bright blue barrier that would’ve sent her flying back 50 feet across the ring! It only took 2 minutes before the entire arena had been transformed…into a giant golden laberynth.

In Greek mythology, the Labyrinth was an elaborate structure designed and built by the legendary artificer Daedalus for King Minos of Crete at Knossos. Its function was to hold the Minotaur eventually killed by the hero Theseus. Daedalus had so cunningly made the Labyrinth that he could barely escape it after he built it. In colloquial English, labyrinth is generally synonymous with maze, but many contemporary scholars observe a distinction between the two: maze refers to a complex branching (multicursal) puzzle with choices of path and direction; while a single-path (unicursal) labyrinth has only a single path to the center. A labyrinth in this sense has an unambiguous route to the center and back and is not difficult to navigate. Although early Cretan coins occasionally exhibit multicursal patterns,[4] the unicursal seven-course "Classical" design became associated with the Labyrinth on coins as early as 430 BC, and became widely used to represent the Labyrinth – even though both logic and literary descriptions make it clear that the Minotaur was trapped in a complex branching maze. Even as the designs became more elaborate, visual depictions of the Labyrinth from Roman times until the Renaissance are almost invariably unicursal. Branching mazes were reintroduced only when garden mazes became popular during the Renaissance.

In this labyrinth, the walls were gold and there was indeed only one pathway to the center. Athena spoke. “Alas mighty halfling, this has now become a game of me versus you.” Athena would appear infront of yumi, but if she attacked it she would see the image of Athena vanish, and if not it would vanish anyway. “To get to me you must reach the center of the puzzle. Keep in mind, this place is rigged with what ever I so choose to throw at you. You see that percious power you hold has a time limit. A limit that if I can exceed it, I shall reduce you back to your mortal form, and be rid of one more of you kasaihana fools. Though we both know you do not hail from there originally don’t we…” two walls on opposite sides of yumi would’ve tried to collapse in on her. “These walls are solid adamantine, and a barrier will repel you if you attempt to fly out. You play the game, and make your way to  me. Be warry of the fact that these walls….can talk.”

Gri: “You’re power….is incredible. I will honor you with a proper fight. I will not hold back any longer. You may however, not like what I am about to do next judging by your…beastly appearance.” Yumi had landed on the rubble of the ground with a frown and a silent gaze, awaiting the Goddess’ next move. What happened next? Only further angered the Halfling more. Athena glows a bright blue and the arena trembles violently only to reveal…What trickery was this? A maze?!?! “You’re boring me now, Athena. This is not a proper fight and I am losing my patience.” The redhead growls out with a husky feminine voice as the walls rose and trapped her inside while the mighty woman explained and gave Yumi instructions on what to do. So a labyrinth is what had been created through the gold then? She was only buying time until the power from Deus wears out and she could strike her down. “To get to me you must reach the center of the puzzle. Keep in mind, this place is rigged with what ever I so choose to throw at you.” Yumi began analyze the situation, her aura now glowing a terrifying green. “Though we both know you do not hail from there originally don’t we…” At this the Halfling closes her eyes and blocks the womans voice out to concentrate, not allowing it to get in to her head. The walls begin to move to crush her so that she could begin the puzzle and she does, turning in to a blur to escape the golden walls attempting to flatten her, sliding to a stop when there are four path ways to get through…flying out would not be wise to try and with an annoyed snort she extends her arms out, flashing green from the palms of her hands as a group of balls made from the discolored fire are created….their energy was powerful and once satisfied with the multitude of numbers, she sends them out through the pathways on their own in swift speed. Getting in to a stance her ears perk up when the first couple of explosions sound off! What had she done? Simple…she used her explosive fire manipulation. She can create fire that explodes or turns anything that the fire burns into a ticking time bomb. Whatever the flames come into contact with starts to burn then explodes in an incredible volatile manner. It might not have been enough to create a hole in the dead ends but it did her something better…it stopped her from going through every which way as she uses her infrared perception to keep tabs on which ball was where and creating a giant flare of sorts when they hit a dead end. Choosing the correct path the Halfling shoots off from the balls of her feet and with her wings given the limited room it did not stop her from zooming through the labyrinth with the same balls shooting out from the palms of her hands to go on ahead of her to do their job of creating the correct choice for their mistress as they begin to explode left and right, Yumi hovering quickly through the puzzle to find Athena and end this…if Athena had thrown any traps her way Yumi would deal with them accordingly and if more obstacles attempted to falter her and waste time the Halfling would not allow herself to be distracted or taken lightly.

Superior Keyo: Kin watched the battle intently, watching Yumi and Athena go at it was intersting, and he had been tending to Syl's wounds, the godly damages making it a bit harder to recover from. He stood over the edge of the hopsital railings, that lead to a balcony. All forms of communcation had been cut from Kasaihana city. They were told it was a blackout, kin knew better though. He called, and called for Suzume. No answer... none at all. Where had she been? He wondered if she had been without another man. And at the same time he was also relieved she hadnt been picking up. It meant she was carring on with her life, and not clinging onto his existance like a moth to a flame, only destined to be burned and chared by the red energies flare. It wasnt long before he would have sighed, huffing over the railing so he could stare out at the people piling around the entrance to the now Domed Sector Games Arena. The Kasaihana gaurdians were winning every round, and alot people were getting alot of well stored pay back. However kin still felt like... they were losing. Regardless of him being a " Glass half empty "  kinda guy anyway. It didnt matter, he still new better.

Kin turned, facing down around to see Syl sleeping, the nurses had tended to her wounds now it was just time for her healing factor to kick in. Kin had broken down a biogenetic compound sereum to give toher. Created from the Bio-mass of dead people, collecting the bone marrow and blood samples along with some other things he mixed it and he made a pill like tablet that Syl can take once a day to keep her hunger in check when she couldnt control it herself. After all he didnt need her eating any of the Son Ent staff.

Meanwhile...

(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kXGI6yESr4U&list=PLHO37SszSdOzILo46zxonx3uXQhiaEt1Q&index=1 ) As Yumi soared through the maze, and she used her techniques to somewhat navigate her way through Athena would have stood there with her eyes closed as she listened to Yumi travel through the trap. " Clever girl... but you seem to think you can manuever your way through this place as you please. In hopes of creating beacons within the mysterious darkness of this labryinth. However... you will soon learn humility when humility is being asked of. You do not win by defying the game, you win by playing the game. And those arent apart of my games rules. Girl. " She said with that smugging tone of hers before she soon had, risen her right hand into the air and clenched her fist as spikes would have appeared on the walls, the size of a 10 year a boy a piece, and as shark as any katana. The Spikes lined the walls and soon Yumi was boxed in from all sides. As she closed her off front, and back,side to side. Athena then clapped her hands together! And the walls began to close up around her even faster. Kin and the others watched the fighting as he made his way out from the battle ship they had ridden here on. His eyes scowling out at the Maze before he crossed his arms. " Hmph... She better not die." He said with that demonic frown his eyes glowing a bright gold. " I am more then a warrior, branded from brute and brawn. I am warrior, stratigist, and hunter. My weapon strays farther off then the conventional blade, and hand. My mind... is my strongest weapon. I suggest you learn how to use yours as well... ' Girl ' " She said spitting the word out with utter detestment, and disqust.

Gri: Yumi slides to a stop, her tail curling around the womans form as a wall descends in front of her which made the fighter scowl as she turns to go the other way but another wall appears, trapping her inside all four corners and spikes would form and said walls began to close in on her. At this the Halfling turned and gazed up at the sky. “This is more like a carnival fun house gone wrong.” Yumi learned of her origin from her father Xamer…a dragoon, straight descendants of Shinto Gods themselves and though she was only half breed thanks to the power from Deus mixing with the incredible affinity of chi Dragoons are known for her form would begin to glow and the energy multiplied inside of her. Pouring out of her with no where else to go the green flames swallow her and begin to eat away at anything around them i.e the spikes as the burning temperatures exceeded what would have been humanly recorded as the highest burning point as the inferno dances all around the spikes of the powerful metal though the energy they give off would prove too much as the atoms can not carry the shape of the metal and what would once be burning now began to melt on to the floor. “Athena, fight me…ENOUGH GAMES!!” Yumi roared in anger as the walls would vibrate from the ferocious howl as the dragon inside of her began to eat up the power and further awaken as the flames could have melted anything in their path to a useless bubbling goop. “I AM A BEAST!! BLOOD OF HUMAN AND DRAGOON!!” The flames grow in size and hide their mistress inside of them as the form of a devastatingly smoldering beast replaces her and with an earth shaking screech sends a heat wave throughout the labyrinth.

The arena began to once again tremble as the flames grow in size, meeting with the barrier above it’s massive head and it growls angrily and continues to grow, struggling with the invisible force blocking its escape until finally a pair of eyes snap open and glow a pure white within the fire as Yumi throws her head back, causing the beast to do the same as destruction chi causes a massive explosion that incinerates the labyrinth walls within seconds and shatters through the barrier above to finally release her.

The mighty beast made purely of chi and hellish inferno is at a towering size as high as the arena itself with almost the same width as Yumi throws her arms out, waving them in a controlled fashion as the explosion does her will, swirling the flames in to a vortex with an attempt at Athena in the middle had she not been completely incinerated in to nothing.

This power showed before the Goddess was no longer from a warrior or a fighter but of a being not of this realm but of a Dragoon! And she would not be showed up by daddys favorite with a superiority complex! “BURN!!!” The voice of the beast echoed through the sweltering dangerous air as the flames turned to an almost cosmic force of nature!!

Superior Keyo: ( www.youtube.com/watch?v=rrWb-EnLNrA )The very fabric of the maze was melting away due to Yumi's power and Athena simply scowled. "Fine, we'll do it your way then. " She said clapping her hands together as the walls dispersed soon enough. And what Yumi would have been met with however... Was a blasting FIST! Athena had rushed over, using her godly powers to lay quick waste of Yumi with godly fists with enough force to shatter every bone in yumi's chin if it connected,! Hit or miss, Athena would have shifted her body in a flip in mid air to kick her into the air! Once and if the attack connected, Athena would then use the lasso from he side to whip Yumi back down to the ground by her throat, stomping her foot down on the rope, so she'd wring her up by her throat as she decendent back over to Athena, only for her to kick her away with a powerufl boot, aimed right under Yumi's chin in attempts to knocking blood from her lips. Athena, had powered herself up, and she had been moving within Nanoseconds! ( Info you dont care about! : A nanosecond (ns) is an SI unit of time equal to one billionth of a second (10-9 or 1/1,000,000,000 s). One nanosecond is to one second as one second is to 31.71 years. The word nanosecond is formed by the prefix nano and the unit second. Its symbol is ns. A nanosecond is equal to 1000 picoseconds or 1/1000 microsecond. Because the next SI unit is 1000 times larger, times of 10-8 and 10-7 seconds are typically expressed as tens or hundreds of nanoseconds.Times of this magnitude are commonly encountered in telecommunications, pulsed lasers and some areas of electronics. Light travels approximately 29.98 centimeters in 1 nanosecond. This is equivalent to 11.8 inches, leading to some to refer to a nanosecond as a light-foot.  The earliest use of the term is by George Gamow.  Another early reference commonly given is to Admiral Grace Hopper, who used to give out pieces of wire about a foot long to illustrate the eventual problem of building very high speed computers. If it takes light a nanosecond to go a foot (in a vacuum, slower in copper), then a computer built with parts connected by half this distance, 15 centimetres (5.9 in) of wire, would take at least a nanosecond to send data to a part and get a response. The solution, developed in Hopper's lifetime, was first the integrated circuit and later the multi-core processor. ) Once and if the attacks had connected and due to the godly speed and the fact she had been working off the element of surprise, Yumi would more then likely be a rocked due to the immense pressure of Athena's attacks, which if it hadnt been for Deus power she would have been dead entirely. She stood there with her arms crossed and her blonde hair flowing in the wind staring at Yumi as she floated. "..."

" THATS MY GIRL..." Zeus would have said raising his right hand into the air. Kin shot a glare over to the boasting god and gripped onto the railing. " HEY, RYOJI'S NEW SLEEVE... YOU BETTER NOT DIE ON US, YOU GOT THAT! WE DONT HAVE TIME TO LOSE, CONSIDERING YOU WINNING THIS FIGHT, A RESTORTED DEBT IN TERMS OF GETTING MY FATHER TRAPPED! " Zeus would have glared at Kin this time, and a light stare down had commensed... as both warriors went silent.

Gri: The fist comes soaring through the flames to get to their Mistress and a gigantic massive claw blocks the Goddess attempts, catching the fist as it is pushed back, landing against the arenas stands and destroying the slabs causing a hole as the flames begin to eat through it all, with every step the ground would begin to burn away the earth coming undone as temperature rises.

The flames catch themselves just as Athena sends a flying kick towards Yumis chin and though the hit makes it, her scales were durable enough that they absorbed the shock of the strike only sending her head snapping back as she clenches her teeth in pain. “GYA!” The rope shoots forward to them but she composes herself as the flames lift their arm to catch the rope around it and grip on to it themselves, Yumi slamming her feet down as the ‘dragon’ mimics her moves and digs the heels of their clawed feet deeper in to the smoldering terrain and clenching their muscles and with one powerful pull they yank the rope back to send Athena flying towards them in an attempt as she roars in dominance. With the velocity the Goddess would be going could give extreme whiplash and disorientation she’d look like a rag doll in the wind as Yumi pulls her elbow back and goes rushing towards her matching Deus speed himself, the dragon with its elbow cocked back as well as she goes to deliver a combo of hits, each punch carried the weight of her destruction chi as the first one aims towards the side of her face as the other fist of the flames joins in with an uppercut to the chin, that could not only shatter the jaw and knock her teeth back up in to her nose cavity but sear her face completely off, the next fist aimed towards her chest with such ferocious intent the aura of the Shinto power would escape through Athenas back and so on the shower of fists continued to try to land these hits if any connected the sound would be like thunder going off in the distance.

If at any time Athena blocked or tried to dodge she would interrupt her midway with a rocket of kicks from Yumi herself though the power from the flames stood behind each strike in a barrage of legs as if there were a multitude of them all hitting her at once or attempting to of course all throughout her abdomen and chest. These hits could shatter and crack every bone, causing them to pierce in to her organs and cause internal bleeding as a whirlwind of fire surrounds them until the last hit goes for the top of Athenas skull with the heel of her foot to send her shooting right in to the already destroyed ground in an explosion!!!

Kin Tasanagi: ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwukthJYEqM&index=5&list=PLHO37SszSdOzILo46zxonx3uXQhiaEt1Q ) As Yumi countered the rope technique! Athena's body would have been soaring over to the young Dragon Goddess ! However as Athena had been in mid travel towards Yumi she would have shifted her godly power to create an arm blade of some sort made out of adamantine! ( http://media.giphy.com/media/fc4CgGnZOktRm/giphy.gif ) And once she had been in the vicinity of Yumi and her onslaught bega, the first punch connected and it would have knocked some sense into her. Blood errupting from Athena's mouth only for Athena to counter back! Matching blow for blow with the red-headed dragon as there fists clashed and connected into one another, the blade on Athena's right arm would have clashed with Yumi's scales to create sparks that errupted from each strike! ( http://33.media.tumblr.com/e65161086b3b6428a598c745e1a5596d/tumblr_mz2gpuvcah1qbvovho2_500.gif ) However as Yumi continued her onslught, with the fist that been aimed towards her chest, Athena would have lunged forward allowing the punch to fire towards her, but she would have pivoted over to the right within the last nanosecond of the strike, blasting her bladed adamantine blade right through Yumi's chest instead! All the while she would have thrown 5 small smoking orbs onto the ground behind Yumi and due to her absorbing Athena's chi pior, the small orbs would have sucked a great bit of chi out of Yumi to place her into a level of paralysis that would make the suffcienty of this attacks connection extremly high. The impact of the attack would have blown out Yumi's spine, piercing her chest! The impact of the wound would leave her in a massive array of pain!

Gri: Blows were traded back and forth as most of the arena was no longer there in fact it was all in rubble and shambles as Yumi continued her hand to hand combat with the Goddess of wisdom, her piercing white glowing eyes ever intent and following her fists with ease.

http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lsq7ngksMr1r23ptko1_500.gif

Each blow had a shockwave that could level out anything around them though they kept up well with one another Yumi did not falter in catching fists with her own scaled ones, knuckles ramming against knuckles until the blade scratches against her chin and causes sparks to fly through the flames which only angered Yumi as she snarled dangerously and roared in the Goddess’ face. In that moment the blade comes piercing through the winds to try and impale her on to the weapon though the scales were powerful and could withstand such an attack….until smoke orbs are thrown behind the Dragon as she senses this as smoke, steam and all things fire and heat could be detected by the Halfling. In that millisecond her tail curled around the balls and tossed them over to Athenas backside as they would indeed do their job of absorbing Athenas chi but from Athena herself! If this had worked than this would have weakened the Goddess like it would have done for Yumi leaving her at a disadvantage and opening Yumi for a final attack to destroy her and finally end this fight! Catching the blade in her hand, as it slices her palm the green fire eats away at the metal having done so before with the labyrinth adimantium and it smolders away but Yumi alters the heat and hardens the material around her own fist! With incredible and out of this world speed the Halfling goes on the offensive and once more throws down an array of combo punches to the Goddess, this time with an adimantium laced fist and knuckles all throughout Athenas form that could blast through her flesh and rock her entirely!

With enough power it’d sends her body flying upwards back first her body almost wrapping around each blow of fists until Yumi vanishes!! In a blur of demonic speed she appears behind the Goddess only try and land one last vicious and malicious blow to her back, putting in her chi and sending an incinerating heat wave along with it that sky rockets her back in to the ground like a fallen comet of green flames with the very sound of a firework shooting through the air in an ear piercing screech. “EEEAAATTT TTTHHIISSS!!!”

The entire arena would have been blasted away as a bright green light erupt and swallows them up blinding any who would be spectating from afar and sending a blast of after shock able to knock down whatever it so happen to come in contact with. http://postimg.org/image/8k4jv882b/

Kin Tasanagi: All of Yumi attacks fell through and lying there within the crator had been a broken Athena. Blood errupting from her lips as her eyes went into a solid white tone. " You ... are a worthy opponent... But... I have one more trick... up my sleeve..." She said as life passed through her lips. But bfore it had... Yumi would have felt Athenas chi begin to fester within her form and suddenly she'd feel a cold sensation that would incase her body. Which soon resulted in a massive explosion of both of her arms that errupted in a blast of red goo as her blood would have caked the reamins of the arena. ( http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mbqvxteIPG1qzqnxxo1_500.gif ) " ATHENNNNNNA! " Zeus said reaching out for his daughter, tears streaming from the gods eyes as Apollo and Hades and Posideon held him back. " MY PRECIOUS ATHENA... NO! " Son Ent Med teams would have rushed over to Yumi to see to her limbs. And Kin would have turned his head closing his eyes as he ignored the fact that Athena had been mortally wounded and more then likely dead, but Yumi had won her fight at the expense of Athena's last failed attempt to get an Up on the young Dragoon. Yani would have sighed as he crossed his arms. Looking at the score it was 4 and 4 now. " ... Everyone. Take a 8 hour resses for rest. The final battles are surely to begin soon..." He said to the cameras as everyone whom had been watching around the world would have been met with a black scree

Gri: Yumi lands in the aftermath, blood erupting from her mouth and nose as she coughs harshly, landing on her knees with a light thud as she tries to stop the horrible ringing in her ears. “ugh fuuck!” She turns her head to watch Athena slowly dying away though she can’t hear the words, simply attempt at reading her lips and by the looks of the words it didn’t seem too comforting. Suddenly her blood runs cold and Yumi snarls, gazing down at her arms as the chi she absorbed from Athenas mixed with deus and her own starts to react and she hunches over in pain, snarling. Her arms begin to feel strange and she knew there was too much of the Goddess chi inside of her trying for one last trick but the dragoon would not allow the defeated Goddess to get the last laugh. With one powerful swipe of her claws she shreds through her own arms, wincing deeply as blood pours out and the green flames vanish inside of their mistress, manipulating Athenas chi in to external energy and then heat that rises out from the extensive gash wounds of her shredded flesh. The cuts were long and deep, her arms were beginning to feel incredibly numb as her scales vanished and she clenched her teeth to stop the cry but to no avail as she cries out in tremendous amounts of pain…she had saved her arms but just barely as one could see the amounts of muscle and even bone as she falls on her side and on to her back, eyes shut tight with an arch to her back. “GAH FUCK!” The medics rush to her aid as shes lifted in to a sitting position and she catches her breath, trembling slightly as blue flames ignite to heal their wounded mistress…but the extensive damage…she would be out of commission for a while. Still…turning her head to watch the deceased Goddess…this war wasn’t over yet.
