F O R C E S

It was time for the first match to begin. People had packed into the stadiums, and it had been about an hour since signups had begun. The contestants had been awaiting, most probably nervous, for things to start. Finally, after some deliberation on lineups, a WhiteOp, dressed in white robes with a mask over his face, appeared on the tournament floor, looking around at the many people in the stadium before him, all of whom got quite silent upon his appearance. "I would like to announce," he began, his voice magically amplified, "The first match..."

Materializing a sheet of paper in his hands, he read the paper and looked back up at the crowd. "Jay vs Isaacl."

The crowd roared as the WhiteOp awaited the two to appear, so he could go over the last minute rules with them and announce the start of the tournament. The Excel Tournament was under way.

A blue light flashed in the middle of the arena. Wind swirled up, sending dust and dirt flying into the air, forming a vortex spinning in place. Inside the vortex appeared a shape, small at first, then larger as it extended and finally making the form of a man. The wind began to die down and the figure slowly appeared, his brown robes flapping around his thin body, his silvery beard staying still. His hood remained motionless and the blue orbs of his eyes smoldered, flaring at random moments as his feet touched the ground.

Isaac looked around at the stirring crowd and smiled, the blackness under his eyes shining with his white teeth. He thrust up his right hand above him, opening his palm and sending a pillar of cyan flame fifty feet into the air, creating a blazing, blue dragon who sped around the arena, just shying away from burning the innocents.

"The Prophet has returned!" It roared, spouting blistering flames which vanished into smoke as it flew into them.

Isaac let out a mad cackle. This would be fun.

There was no fancy flash or magical light for Jay's entrance, at one moment he was there at the next he was walking nonchalantly towards the WhiteOp with his blade over his shoulder. He was smiling as he looked over the crowds and even laughed a little when he saw a kid holding a trinket with Jay's face on it. He stopped before the WhiteOp and waited patiently for Isaac's light show to finish. He had to admit it was pretty cool.

The dragon above the battleground blew blue-white flames through the air as it raced around once again. After three spins around the arena, the words Isaac vs. Jay were written in blaring blue flame, setting the whole arena into a blue tinted light.

Still laughing, Isaac walked towards where his competitor and the WhiteOp, grinning. He nodded at Jay, his lantern-eyes narrowing to blue slits. "It is an honor." He said simply as he stopped.

King Jeebus · « **Reply #4 on:** March 08, 2012, 05:08:23 PM »

"Pleasure to meet you buddy, Jay Stryder." Jay held out his hand to shake Isaac's "Love the light show"

Beware Ye Who Enter Here · « **Reply #5 on:** March 08, 2012, 05:15:17 PM »

Isaac shook the man's hand and grinned, looking up at the fiery beast. "Isaac. I thought the crowd would enjoy a taste of spectacle before the real stuff began."

King Jeebus · « **Reply #6 on:** March 08, 2012, 05:50:25 PM »

"Good luck though, aight? Good sportsmanship and junk" Jay laughed before turning to the WhiteOp, waiting for the match to be declared begun.

Beware Ye Who Enter Here · « **Reply #7 on:** March 08, 2012, 05:51:56 PM »

Isaac nodded. "Same to you." He muttered before, like his opponent, facing the WhiteOp.

As the crowd cheered, the WhiteOp brought the two close to him, whispering, "Remember, there is to be no killing. I reserve the right to stop the match at any time. Give them a good show, alright? Now, both of you, after I announce the match, bow to each other and begin."

Facing the crowd, the WhiteOp announced, his voice amplified, "I hereby declare... The commencement... Of the first match!"

And with that, the WhiteOp moved like a blur, finding his place perched ontop of the press box miles above, watching the tournament begin.

Jay bowed to Isaac and slowed time for himself, allowing for greater reaction time

Beware Ye Who Enter Here · « **Reply #10 on:** March 11, 2012, 03:23:41 PM »

Isaac in turn, bowed, and backed away from the mage.
A snap of his finger and a protective layer of metallic alloy covered the skin under his robes. Dust exploded from behind Jay as three large, sharp pillars of granite propel themselves towards Jay's apparently unprotected back. Doing so, Isaac threw two fireballs at Jay and disapeared up into the air above him.

King Jeebus · « **Reply #11 on:** March 11, 2012, 03:28:01 PM »

Literally the moment that the fireballs would have hit Jay, he and Isaac swapped places. They were now with Jay above and Isaac below. Jay dropped back down to the ground and straightened his hat, respeeding his voice so it sounded normal for the crowds and Isaac "That looks like it'd have hurt"

Beware Ye Who Enter Here · « **Reply #12 on:** March 11, 2012, 03:30:13 PM »

The fireballs and spikes flew at Isaac, who simply teleported away, to the far right of the arena as the two elements clashed. "It would have, had your reflexes not been as magnificent." Isaac said, dusting off his right sleeve, voice also enhanced.

King Jeebus · « **Reply #13 on:** March 11, 2012, 04:00:18 PM »

"Now you've got two choices, kiddo" Jay laughed, flurrying his sword around him a little "I can go full out and give you the full Templar battle. That'll hurt a lot." He stretched out his arms a little "Or I can just sorta wear you down and knock you out nicely. By the looks of it your body would take that better" He was cocky

Beware Ye Who Enter Here · « **Reply #14 on:** March 11, 2012, 04:02:31 PM »

"I've taken a fair few hits in my day, but only from those who were good enough to catch me." Isaac returned, grinning. He liked this one already. "Are you sure your Templar powers can stop the full force of an ancient sage?"

King Jeebus · « **Reply #15 on:** March 11, 2012, 04:08:24 PM »

"Stop? Hell no. I ain't made for stopping." Jay smiled, before disappearing. He reappeared right behind Isaac with a supersped punch to the back of the leg.

Beware Ye Who Enter Here · « **Reply #16 on:** March 11, 2012, 04:11:04 PM »

The punch was unexpected but it was deflected by Isaac's magical barrier from his robes. Isaac spun around, aiming for a powerful, magically sped up kick to the man's groin followed by attempting to back fist his face with a fire encased hand.

King Jeebus · « **Reply #17 on:** March 11, 2012, 04:50:58 PM »

With time being dilated for Jay, the kick may have connected but to Jay it was basically a slightly slower than normal kick. It hurt a little yes but Jay could manage it. He raised his hand and caught Isaacs hand mid swing, his own hand now on magical fire too. The Templar then swung his sword, the first time this battle. It was sped through time once more, aimed to slice down Isaac's back.

As he attempted to grab Isaac's hand, the ward stopped the contact. Jay would be able to feel a solid object, but it was merely an energy field surrounding Isaac's body, mere inches away from his skin. Isaac jump rolled forwards, the time-blade slicing through a whisp of his beard, sending silver stands gently down to the ground.
"Glad you're enjoying this, boyo." Isaac said, as he ducked away, forming a gravitational field around him to supplement his wards. Extremely intense gravity pushed down at his body but an equally powerful force pushed it up. Anything that hit it would be stopped in its tracks.

King Jeebus · « **Reply #19 on:** March 13, 2012, 03:26:30 PM »

"Power like mine you'd be surprised how rarely I get to cut loose. Admittedly I cant go all out but... It's nicer having a higher threshold." Jay smiled, standing at full attention again "Tell you what, you ain't seen my own light show yet." A small ball of silver energy formed in his hand as he nonchalantly dropped it upon the ground. It flowed like water into a specific pattern- That similar to a clock. The Templar tapped his blade upon the pattern, with the beard wisp still upon it. The wisp merged with the pattern and the clock began ticking.
"Templar Art; Sampling." He muttered, pointing the blade to Isaac "You ready for this?"

"Don't tell me you're going to go down to make me younger." Isaac said, rolling his eyes. "Making me relive another four thousand years would be just cruel." He jested, tensing himself but forcing the particles in the air around Jay move at an increased speed, slowly, then quicker, exponentially increasing.

King Jeebus · « **Reply #21 on:** March 13, 2012, 05:36:11 PM »

"Nope." The clock ticked as Jay raised a finger. As a novice mage, Jay had very little way of knowing what the exact particles around him were doing. "Something much, much funnier." He smirked as he literally disappeared again, once more flying high above Isaac as flames burst up underneath the old mage.

Beware Ye Who Enter Here · « **Reply #22 on:** March 13, 2012, 05:51:55 PM »

Isaac teleported away, over to the side of the arena as flames sprung up where he was. His wards could take plenty of hits, yes, but he didn't want them to give way when he needed them most.
Instead, he simply teleported the particles over to where Jay was, except for the small grouping around the magic ceremony spell thing where Isaac's shed hair was.
The hair, if unprotected, would soon begin to smoulder, the temperature in that small area going up to three hundred degrees, more then enough to burn the hair and render it impotent magically.

King Jeebus · « **Reply #23 on:** March 13, 2012, 05:58:54 PM »

Sadly, Jay was slightly smarter than that. The hair itself was time-locked.
"Ahh...That's what you're doing... Goodie." The Templar smiled, throwing some more fireballs Isaac's way.

"Well, seeing as you posess the unique ability regarding time manipulation, I can hardly hope to stop you." Isaac sighs, easily deflecting the fire balls. "Well, not unique necessarily but not in my zone of arcana either."
The air around Jay came to about 400 degrees F, hot enough that any normal being would be nigh upon dead. Jay was, of course, not a normal being. The particles in the air flew around, lightning quick, but they stayed around him. When he moved, they followed. It was like having your own, invisible and deadly pet.
