(OOC: Just as a note here, this battle started as a "practice" between Hikaru and I on AIM. When the battle still wasn't over after nine hours, we decided to make it canon and move it to GE. Also, I'm not requesting K2323 because hes being used as a minor character for this battle only. And in regards to the whole "law of magic" thing, that is just one idea used for that spell and should not be taken as if the laws govern the magical dictation.)
Iamawhale2323 2:14 pm
K2323 grinned, looking around the K Dome. How interesting, he noted. It seemed he'd been brought back.. For a battle? K2323 had not been here in years, his fighting tournament arena. He was here for a reason: To fight someone, whoever was here to fight him.
nekohikaruchan 2:16 pm
Hikaru stepped out of the shadows looking the same as ever, an expression of amusement upond her face. "Greetings brother dear, been a while hasn't it?" She laughed, mocking his death.
Iamawhale2323 2:17 pm
K2323 glanced upon Hikaru. His sister. She looked.. the same as always, a product of what the sages called 'immortality'. Honestly, that was not near as effective as real immortality, but real immortality? That was impossible.. "Hikaru, you look just as ugly as always," K2323 greeted.
nekohikaruchan 2:18 pm
"For a dead guy, you sure have some nerve." Hikaru muttered in response. "At least some of us are still alive."
Iamawhale2323 2:20 pm
"Well, it looks like I've been brought back here to kill you," K2323 said as the exits to the stadium began to be closed. "And I'm going to assure that you die too, this time. I'm not going back to death. Not this time." Black fire lit around the stadium.
nekohikaruchan 2:23 pm
Hikaru smirked, golden flames of holy fire lighting around her. "We'll just see about that." Then dropping all formalities, she a wave of the fire at him, as if to test the reaction.
*cast
Iamawhale2323 2:25 pm
White water easily met the fire, putting it out, casted from K2323's hand which now stood stretched out. With the fire gone, K2323 shook his head. "Ridiculous," he muttered, "treating me like a weakling." His arm began to stretch out, far beyond normal human limits, towards Hikaru; The Arm Extention spell.
nekohikaruchan 2:30 pm
"Ah, so you haven't lost any of your reaction from being dead. Excellent." Hikaru grinned, jumping out of the way of his arm, "And I was so hoping you'd have become brittle." Materializing a sphere of holy fire in her hand, she tossed it at him, however, strings of it reminained, threaded around her fingers, giving her control of it.
Iamawhale2323 2:33 pm
K2323's extending hand lit entirely with black fire. It reached out towards Hikaru's sphere, grabbing onto it. The black fire surrounded the fire and ran across the threads, back to Hikaru.
nekohikaruchan 2:39 pm
More threads of holy fire strung from the sphere to enforce the the ones under the black fire, combining into a three-fold cord of holy fire, too enforced for the black fire to destroy. Because K2323s hand was in the way of the sphere, the threads hand to come out somehow and entangled themselves around it. "Looks like you're all tied up," Hikaru laughed, forcing the threads to use that to go towards him.
Iamawhale2323 2:44 pm
K2323 glanced at his arm, wincing. "This is going to hurt.. Arm reproduction spell," he muttered. His arm expanded more before a cracking noise filled the arena. The arm came off, blood spattering everywhere. Slowly, an arm began to regrow in its place, catching as much blood as possible. A normal arm, it was regrown. "Ow, damnit," he muttered, rubbing his arm. He stretched his arm out, but instead of extending his arm, lightning began to surge around his fingers, electricity. As the electricity built up, finally he sent it out, a strike of lightning he controlled.. only, the lightning was invisible.
nekohikaruchan 2:47 pm
By watching the air around him, Hikaru could tell something was happening. She didn't know what, but whatever it was, she didn't like the look of it. Releasing the threads, she quickly disseapeared, supressing her energy signature.
Iamawhale2323 2:49 pm
"Damn," K2323 muttered, jumping into the air and holding his spot there. He caused the entire area on the ground to be shreded with fog and the lightning spread all over it, meaning anyone in the fog which filled the entire ground area of the arena, would be shocked.
nekohikaruchan 2:53 pm
That attack would have worked, but whoever said she was on the ground? From above him, Ice fire began to rain down, a blue fire that was both hot and scolding burning hot and shockingly freezing at the same time. Hikaru at the source of it, but still preferring to retain her invisibility and repression.
*supression
Iamawhale2323 2:57 pm
Seeing/sensing some sort of fire above him, K2323 summoned metal around him. A metal prison of sorts made to protect him. Only, as a result his metal prison fell to the ground. Upon impact with the ground, lightning began to surround the metal prison, but K2323 reversed the effect and made the lightning serve as a guard to him from within the metal prison. Slowly, fog began to fill up all over the stadium - not just on the ground. Including in the viewing seats of the arena.
nekohikaruchan 3:15 pm
Still invisible, Hikaru held her hand up to the air, casting another sphere of fire, this time pouring energy into it to create a heat intense enough to heaten the arena and melt away the fog. Once this was done, she cast a spell at one of the spectator seats, and sent it flying at the metalic prison. Whatever his spell or attack was, the reaction would reveal it.
Iamawhale2323 3:22 pm
Perfect, just what K2323 wanted. A spell called Shadow Smokes came into play now as shadows formed around the flying projectile of a seat, stopping it. Eating it. When the seat was gone, the shadows began to spread out. It different directions, beams of smoke moving towards the nearest source of magic besides the caster. That being Hikaru. K2323 couldn't find her, but the smokes would, and when they did it'd be game over.
nekohikaruchan 3:43 pm
Hikaru cast a spell at another seat, this time sending it flying above the arena. When it was at the very top, she had the seat burst into flames. Flames that grew brighter, and brighter, into an intense light, extreme enough to where shadows couldn't exist.
Iamawhale2323 4:49 pm
From the lightning surrounding the metal prison far below the top of the stadium, K2323 was plotting within his metal prison. And then, an idea hit him. The lightning charging around turned black in color. A large bolt left its possistion guarding the metal guard and flew up towards the seat in the air.
nekohikaruchan 4:58 pm
In response to the attack, Hikaru cast a form transformation spell on the seat, turning it into rubber to ground the electricity.
Iamawhale2323 4:59 pm
The rubber began to stretch as a dismantle spell was casted on it. It kept stretching and stretching further and further.
nekohikaruchan 5:06 pm
The rubber however didn't break, and instead had the effect of what would happen if you stretched a rubberband too far. It made what was stretching it, go flying back at the source. In this case, the black bolt of lightning.
Iamawhale2323 5:13 pm
K2323 dissipated the attack from within the metal prison, sending the rubber away from the metal and in fact in the oppisite direction, before the rubber flew into the air and hit the ceiling of the K Dome, causing it to fall into the spectator section of the arena surrounding the fighting area. K2323's voice echoed throughout the arena, "Come on out, Hikaru!"
nekohikaruchan 5:18 pm
Hikaru didn't answer. Did he think she was so stupid as to give her posistion away? Now that she knew it was electricity around him, she'd have an easier time countering it. Casting another transformation spell, this time she transformed a row of spectator seats into rubber, sending them all flying at him.
Iamawhale2323 5:20 pm
The metal prison expanded and the electricity ran off to shock random places on the ground to end the surging. The metal prison now covered such a large area that the rubber simply hit the metal. After all, K2323 was inside the metal, and rubber wasn't strong enough to break metal.
nekohikaruchan 5:26 pm
Now that the electricity was out of the way, all that remained to get rid of was the metal prison. Unsheathing her Katana, Hikaru casted a multiplication spell on it, and sent the copies and original flying at the prison.
Iamawhale2323 5:27 pm
Vines rooted out from underground of the K Dome and spurt into the air in masses, wrapping around the Katanas and stopping their movement, tossing them away.
nekohikaruchan 5:30 pm
Hikaru re-levitated the katana's, this time infusing them with fire, and sent them at the prison again.
Iamawhale2323 5:35 pm
Feeling several magical signitures coming towards him, K2323 made the metal transparent in color. Seeing the fire katanas coming towards him, he chanted, "Iced Earth." This spell caused each of the Katanas to freeze with ice. Some of the metal from the prison went forward and extended, forming the shape of an arm, and stretched around to grab the katanas from the safe end before causing them to boil and weild together into the form of a metal ball. It then threw the metal ball into the air which lit with black fire. "Scan," K2323 muttered as the ball began to fly around every mile of the K Dome gradually, sure to eventually hit Hikaru.
nekohikaruchan 5:50 pm
Seats began to rip up from a column of rows, lit with white fire, the familliar look of nothing fire. A fire that everything it touched that it wasn't focused through, it would disentegrate. Half the seats flew at the ball, and the other half at K2323.
Iamawhale2323 5:52 pm
Another row of seats flew off the spectator seat and ran in to the white fire ones, disintegrating but using up the nothing fire of the seats.
And the ball got killed.
nekohikaruchan 5:57 pm
Hikaru was ticked off by now. At this rate neither was going down. Both were well hidden, and both kept knocking away the offenses meant to reveal them. She'd just have to resort to another method. Casting another transformation spell, this time she casted it at the ground, transforming it into....puding.
Iamawhale2323 6:03 pm
K2323 began to slowly sink. He quickly teleported out into the open, into the air. "Damnit," he muttered. He glanced down upon the pudding, vanilla in flavor. "Rise," he ordered. A large glob of pudding rose and surrounded K2323 as a vauge armor.
nekohikaruchan 6:08 pm
Hikaru laughed to herself as she casted another transformation spell on the pole of a row of seats, transforming it into a spoon, and sending it flying at him, or more importantly, at his armor.
Iamawhale2323 6:10 pm
This is where his armor came into the play. Enchanted pudding, it surrounded the flying spoon as an inhibitor, slowing its speed appropriately for K2323 to use Hammer Palm, a spell that any novice sage would know. K2323's hands lit red and when they touched the spoon the spoon began to be eaten through.
nekohikaruchan 6:21 pm
Hikaru lit another row of seats with holy fire, and sent them flying at him. Seeing as pudding turns burnt and brittle when it's heated.
Iamawhale2323 6:23 pm
K2323 again used iced Earth on the chairs as they grew closer and then used his pudding as an inhibbitor as he did on the last ones. He was growing tired of the games, of course. He casted an illusion on the chairs as if they were not there, making them invisible.
nekohikaruchan 6:24 pm
"You runied my fun," Hikaru muttered, finally reappearing across from him. "Shall we get serious now then?"
Iamawhale2323 6:26 pm
"Finally," K2323 said, grinning as he floated in midair glancing out to Hikaru, no doubt also flying. A second K2323 appeared next to the first now, a clone. Each extended their hands near the partner's. One lit with white, one with dark. The shades of grey formed a beam of magic rushing out towards Hikaru as they chanted, "In darkness as in light, let her face our might."
nekohikaruchan 6:30 pm
Hikaru took the attack on and faded, obviously not the real Hikaru but a magical hologram. As she could be heard, all around the arena using a voice amplication spell so as not to give away her posistion. "Oh you never do learn from past battles, do you?"
Iamawhale2323 6:32 pm
"Damn, shoulda known," K2323 said, shaking his head. "Materialization," he stated, materializing the real Hikaru to him.
nekohikaruchan 6:48 pm
Hikaru reappeared for real this time, shield of nothing fire surrounding her. "You know, I don't think I'm done annoying you yet." With that she casted a transformation spell at the ceiling of the arena, this time into chocolate syrup in its liquid form.
Iamawhale2323 6:51 pm
K2323 grinned as the ceiling began to drip. Hikaru was forgetting something. This was the K Dome, protected by Ancient Spells for this very reason - transformation to the dome. The dome's ceiling easily turned back to normal. (That really was an ancient protection spell casted on it if you'll remember.) "I see close combat won't work on you this time, Hikaru," K2323 muttered. "Sun," he casted. The arena
(continuing)
Iamawhale2323 6:54 pm
's ceiling began to open up now as a great deal of sun-light shone into the arena (despite the fact Japan isnt around a sun, its artificial), thanks to the spell being used.. And with a sun, comes heat. And light. K2323 shut his eyes as metal surrounded him once more, this metal floating. "I'm not effected in here," he said, his voice being projected by a sound cast spell, "but lets see you fight with your eyes closed."
nekohikaruchan 7:24 pm
"Resorting to old attacks, I see." Hikaru muttered, flipping the hood of her cloak up to shield her eyes. "Too bad for you, being deead has given you a males main weakness." She declared, focusing her attention on the ground of pudding. Slowly some of the puding began to rise, and form into the shape of a naked lady with all the details,dancing, just the thing to seduce her brother.
Iamawhale2323
Of course, K2323 couldn't see the naked lady as he was shielded by metal. But he knew she was there. Sighing in frusteration, he summoned a porn magazine to read within his floating metal shield. As he read his porn magazine, he casted a spell on the pudding.. Turning it into blood. Chains that reached for miles flew out of the blood lake and up to reach for Hikaru.
nekohikaruchan 7:39 pm
Hikaru dodged the chains. In midair it was simple task after all. Not giving up on her original idea, she cast a spell at the blood, turning it into a bottomless pile of porn magazines. Even if he couldn't see it, there was no way any male could resist it.
Iamawhale2323 7:41 pm
"Bottled Lust," K2323 chanted, growing sexually frusterated. This spell made any lust he had unimportant until the end of the battle. "Now, Hikaru.. It's time to bring Genesis Magic into this," K2323 said, his Genesis Staff appearing in his right hand.
nekohikaruchan 7:45 pm
Hikaru braced herself, holy fire surrounding her hands. Now that he'd finally decided to get serious, she had to watch herself. No more fooling around. "Let's see what you've got after all these years then," She called out.
Iamawhale2323 7:50 pm
K2323's metal prison retracted into the form of a metal sword as the light began to fade. "Fine," K2323 remarked. "But even I won't be able to fight blind if I do what you ask me to do." The magazines below began to bit lit afire, as the ground turned into black fire, an asset to be used by K2323. From each side of Hikaru, the air seemingly opened up as ropes shot out of the air from nowhere and wrapped around Hikaru.. Ropes made of fibers of spirit energy. Not K2323's own, of course, some random dead guy's.
nekohikaruchan 7:58 pm
However he had forgotten about the nothing fire that had surrounded her as a shield, since the time she first re-appeared. Because of this, as soon as the ropes made contact, the white flames disentegrated them. Materializing a sphere of fire in her hand, she casted a transformation spell upon it, turning it into a dagger. Using this she slashed her other hand and let the blood run. Dropping the dagger below, she formed the blood into a spell circle and cast it around K2323. "Dnib!" She commanded it, the circle constricting.
Iamawhale2323 8:04 pm
K2323 grinned. "Exos Sentenies," he chanted. His magic signiture literally left his body and was sent outwards as K2323 teleported away from the bind, but the bind would be forced to think K2323 had moved away from it. Now free of the circle, K2323 opened his mouth wide. Out of it, much smoke began to rise. The smoke formed the shape of an arm as he kept his mouth opened, and the smoke arm connected to smoke coming from K2323's mouth flew over towards Hikaru and passed through the nothing fire as if it was already nothing before grabbing ahold of Hikaru and holding her.
nekohikaruchan 8:16 pm
Hikaru began to shroud herself in ice-fire, lowering her bodies temperature to below freezing, and because the smoke was holding her, this would cause it to liquify and freeze. But fall in liquid form. Using this chance, she supressed her energy signature and dissapeared again.
Iamawhale2323 8:20 pm
K2323 cursed. "Damnit," he whispered. He looked down at the fire which began to turn into solid ground. K2323 returned to the solid ground below and created a metal prison around him, restating his possistion from earlier.. But for a different reason. He'd need it now, as the entire arena began to fill up with water - him being protected by his metal. K2323 had casted a spell to flood his arena.
nekohikaruchan 8:24 pm
Hikaru merely rolled her eyes and casted a transformation spell on herself, a light one affecting only one area, giving herself gills.
Iamawhale2323 8:27 pm
"Dissimulo," K2323 muttered from within his metal haven. The entire arena became a maze of sorts as the water turned light. Anyone inside the water would not be able to see and would also be in a maze, with turns everywhere, and K2323 at the end of the "maze". So he could not be found directly, he lowered his magic signiture to conceal himself.. And created shark monster things all over the arena, controlling two to go towards Hikaru.
nekohikaruchan 8:44 pm
Hikaru sighed and closed her eyes. She was irritated by now, and really sick of the games. Even if she had started them. Holdng the hand she had cut earlier out, she began to use her own blood to invoke a spell, one that would take half her magic, to cast. But would hopefully turn the battle. As she chanted the words, her side of the arena began to turn black, a darkening, absorbing type black, that no light could be seen in. The other side however, went pure white, a reflecting type. To the empty minded it would appear this, but to a sentient being, it would appear as their own personal universe, the personification of their minds likes, dislikes, even fears. Because there were two sentient beings however, the law of polarity would come into effect, and each would percieve their own personal universe, as well as the others. And because it came from the mind, shielding ones self would not block it.
Iamawhale2323 8:51 pm
K2323 found himself bathed in his own light. What the hell was this spell Hikaru had just used? He casted a sun spell to begin draining the water when.. How odd, he thought. His metal barrier was gone and he saw a walking frenchfry running across the arena.. He was scared. He had a phobia of frenchfries.. And of something else. From behind him, he could hear a great cry. The cry of Kai for help in death, being murdered. K2323 began to scream in fear.. What was this place!? It was horrible! He had to break it! Using illusion magic, he changed the surroundings of the entire fighting part of the arena to that of a never-ending white void, in which both K2323 and Hikaru would fall in if not flying, but K2323 flew to retain his spot in the air.
nekohikaruchan 9:00 pm
Hikaru flew in place, slightly shaken from her own trial of fears. Because of the law of polarity however, she now knew his fears, and in this, had a way of defeating him. Casting another amplification spell, she combined it with a materialization spell, and fed her own memories into it. Certain ones. Of past battles. More importantly the ones where Kai died. These amplified around the arena.
Iamawhale2323 9:08 pm
K2323's eyes began to be flashed with images of his brother dying. Something he really did fear. His brother had been one of his closest friends. K2323 had spent ten years looking for Kai back then.. Thirteen years ago. And what did that result in? A waste of those years, K2323 figured. But, wait.. K2323 knew that Kai was living happily now. He'd gotten a message from Kai saying not to come after him.. Then why was it? Why was it that he saw Kai dying? K2323 was so confused.. So, he decided to let his body take control. Let his soul take control. To abandon his spirit and act only as a fighting machine.. To use that spell. Personality shatter. At least for just now. And with K2323's state of mind gone, his body took control. His Genesis Staff which had been firm in his hand still illuminated with a white aura now, and his hair began to rise slightly, his eyes
loosing all color and turning entirely white.. K2323's Genesis powers were awakening within him.. "Fimus," he shouted in a tone different then his usual voice. One of much more color.. Darker color. Upon yelling those words, black specs of dirt were floating in the white, and the firt began to close in on Hikaru.
nekohikaruchan 9:48 pm
Hikaru silently shook her head. Now that he'd abandoned himself, he was sure to make mistakes and burn out. And of course, she'd help in instegating that. But it also meant she'd have to be on guard, as there would be no mercy now. ? Casting a wind spell to blow away the dirt, she dissapeared once again.
Iamawhale2323 9:52 pm
K2323's flashing eyes now prompted his complete and total need for something.. Battle. That was it. As his new state set in, his hunger grew for war. White energy from his aura swept forward with the wind as the surroundings of the white once again became the K Dome. The white energy from K2323 rushed up into the air and then came slamming down aways from K2323, causing it to burrough into the ground to be used when K2323 needed it..
nekohikaruchan 9:57 pm
Hikaru grinned. As the white had been an illusion before, she'd used her invisiblity to cast a spell circle on the ground in blood, but invisible. Whatever he intended to use the energy for, it would be stopped by the trap set, with other effects in wait. For now, she had to wait till he burnt out, and help with it as well. Holding out two fingers of one hand, she cast maroon threads of energy at him, and with the other, she casted holy fire, both at the same time. He'd have to take one or the other.
Iamawhale2323 10:02 pm
All over the battle field, there was wind, and a reak of the aura from K2323. Both the maroon energy and the holy fire were swept up into a vortex of Genesis flames of sorts, a fire fueled by Genesis magic. The vortexes, now a light-purple color, began to move towards Hikaru.
nekohikaruchan 10:18 pm
Hikaru knew only one thing to do, she'd have to die. Dodging the vortex, she flew to a spot where it wasn't, at the same time, casting an illusion of herself getting destroyed by the vortex in the most graphical way, her energy and spirit signature supressed, so it would seem only one person was there. Unless of course you were a deity of death that could see through that. But she didn't have to worry about this.
Iamawhale2323 10:19 pm
The form of K2323 fell to the ground, weak. Color returned to his eyes. "Damn," he muttered. "What's going on?"
nekohikaruchan 10:23 pm
Hikaru wasn't done there however, she continued casting the illusion into a scene very familliar to her, the ressurection of a phoenix and into a clueless 5 year old. Making sure it seemed as real as possible.
Iamawhale2323 10:28 pm
"Damn," K2323 said to himself as he looked up from his place on the ground and saw Hikaru apparently being resurected into the form of a five year old.. But something wasn't right. Anything of that power would easily be giving off a high magic signature. With a little bit of magic still in him, a third arm spurt out of K2323's back and, using the arm extenstion spell, began to fly over towards 'little Hikaru' and try to grab it.. It stopped, casting a spell to cause whatever it did to this form to happen to the source. Whatever K2323 was about to do to this little girl, if it was an illusion or clone, it would happen to the real Hikaru wherever she was. Because something wasn't right, K2323 realized as he moved his third arm in to squeese the child.
nekohikaruchan 10:31 pm
Hikaru quickly dropped the illusion, and activated the still lingering spell circle on the ground, the symbols on the right of it glowing red, it casted everything in the radius of the ground, including him, into a spirit paralysis. The sombols on the left of i it glowing blue, casted anything in the radius into magic supression. This would mean he was caught without magic or movement.
Iamawhale2323 10:34 pm
The entire form of the K2323 on the ground, though, was only an illusion. K2323 had taken a page out of Hikaru's book as his voice echoed over the area, "Got you, sis." The arena's ceilings began to close once more.
nekohikaruchan 10:51 pm
Hikaru sighed, she was getting sick of this battle. Her nerves could only take so much. Why wouldn't he just DIE already?! "Isn't your time about up, yet?" She asked. "Or....how did you come back anyways?" In result of asking this, she was hoping to find some loophole in killing him.
Iamawhale2323 10:54 pm
An illusion of K2323 formed on the battlefield, grinning. "My time won't be up if I manage to kill someone, actually. I didn't die, Hikaru, back then. That battle I had with Zant didn't mean my death. It meant.. by rising to a higher plane of existence. I was no longer a sage, Hikaru. I existed only as a spirit. I have returned to my body, but it will not be able to handle all the knowlege I have retained in my last ten years of living.. I will have to find a replacement. And that requires a.. sacrifice."
nekohikaruchan 10:59 pm
"Hmm.. So what happens if you die here?" Hikaru replied in question. "Are you going to die for good or still be a living nuisance?"
Iamawhale2323 11:01 pm
"Probably for good," K2323 said, "depends on if I'm hungry." The subject of hunger had nothing to do with death, but that was the way K2323's mind worked. He looked up into the sky, sighing as he let his arena's ceilings open back up. "XANACore or whoever rules here would get mad if he knew we were batteling on his land, should we take this elsewhere?"
nekohikaruchan 11:04 pm
Hikaru smirked. "Fine, Outerverse, it'll be more enjoyable watching you die and writhe in pain there. Plus it laxens the limits. We can fight without being enclosed."
Iamawhale2323 11:06 pm
"Right," K2323 said. "To the Outerverse. It'll be nice to see how things have changed," K2323 said with sarcasm in his tone, knowing full well Outerverse was basically always the same. And with that, a great gust of wind came and seemingly caused his entire form to blur and be carried away, teleporting him to the Outerverse.
----
Dust in the desert regions of the Outerverse composed the shape of K2323's form. It materizlized there in the Outerverse, now ready to feel the joys of living once more. Or at least, temporarily. It looked upon the form of the Outerverse, and it grinned at what it saw: Barren landscape, a desert, the same as it had been when K2323 had left it eleven years ago..
