Trial by Fire (Chaos vs. Oblivion, test RP)

[The Blade]

Chaos took his place at one end of the arena, the clothing under his armour rippling slightly in the soft breeze that blew through the large coliseum-esque area. The Horseman's constantly colour swapping eyes scanned around the white marble and ruined pillars of the old, stone arena. "Wow, ain't this place pretty?" He murmured to himself before grabbing the hilt of Random, the large blade attached to his back and smiling. He was here to meet with one of his brothers and have a small spar, it had been a long time since they had had the chance to fight so this would be a good chance to shake all that rust off. All he had to do was wait for Oblivion now, Chaos was a little early though... or he may have been a little late, he didn't really care.

In fact, Chaos was over five hours early and he waited as the sun in the sky drew up and started to slant back down the way. The Horseman stood stock still the entire time, his eyes moving around erratically but not the rest of his body and his hand continued to stay firmly attached to the handle of his sword, itching to draw it but he wouldn't until his brother showed up and then the fight could begin in earnest, oh Chaos just couldn't wait!

oblivion stood, as still as the void. his unwavering gaze fixed on his brother below. he could see chaos at the other end of the arena standing fixed in position. he knew he could probably see him standing on the top of the wall but he didnt care. stealth was something he could never really get the hang of during daylight hours, as he stood out againts any light as a beacon of darkness. taking a step forwards he plummeted down the 40 odd feet without even thinking about it. a plume of dust kicked up as he landed and swirled around him in the light breeze. oblivion took a few paces forwards and the dust around him was instantly disintegrated. as he strided towards the horseman he let his shoulders become spiked and vicious in anticipation for the upcoming battle, a jagged crown sprouted from his head and his fingertips grew and sharpened. 'greetings brother. i trust you have prepared yourself to your satisfaction.'' he stopped 20 feet away from the unmoving chaos. his  glowing eye slits locked on his brothers writhing orbs  'so shall we begin''.

Rainbow locked onto Black as Chaos watched Oblivion descend to the ground and come to within a good distance of the Rainbow Horseman. It had been a while since he'd seen his brother properly and sure enough, he was as scary as his namesake and yet Chaos knew his weakness and that was what would help him win this day, if he had wanted to win though but he didn't. "You know it bro, ready to have your ass handed to you?" Chaos cocked his head to the side before drawing Random with a large, spinning flourish. For once the weapon had decided to be sensible and out of its sheath came a Zweihander with a blade enameled blood red. The dark steel glinted cruelly in the waning sun and Chaos rose up on one foot and aimed the point of the long blade towards Oblivion. "Make your first move decisive brother, you may not get to make a second" Chaos smirked under his hood and waited for the first move to be made. Unbeknown to Oblivion however, unless he decided to check for magic, Chaos had covered his blade in a thin layer of offensive magic to actually be able to hit his brother but nowhere near enough to kill him, it was like fighting with a blunted sword.

''hmmm, i see you are still wielding that ridiculous trinket. i hope you realise its useless here'' if he had a mouth it would have been smirking. ''it appears that you have learned nothing from the last time i destroyed you.'' he smoothly created a field around his hands and forearms, this would allow him to carve and strike with his talons normally as well as block attacks and grapple. he didnt whant to do too much damage to his brother and leaving his attacks unguarded would probably mean disintigrating something that would take weeks to heal, like a leg. he left his head and chest without a protective seal, so that any physical attacks directed at him would disapparate as a layer of defence. ''please dont take this personally brother, this was your idea'' oblivion raised a spiked fist and plunged into the ground, the rock made a faint hiss as he carved large chunks out of it. when he stood up he had several melon-sized boulders attached to his arm. it was an old trick he picked up. they could be used to amplify his already incredible strength or he could focus his TK and send them flying with needle point accuracy. with what may have been cockyness oblivion strode forwards and sent a whole arms worth rocketing towards chaos. as they flew oblivion blurred with impossible speed and followed behind them. he raised a rock incrusted fist and braced his other hand to slash at his belly, aiming to sandwich his brother in the confusion.

[The Blade]

"Trinket? You'll hurt poor Random's feelings." Chaos gasped over-dramatically and then pouted, his lip stuck out a rather ridiculous amount. "And the last time you beat me brother, I let you win and all the other horsemen know it" He smiled to Oblivion and then dropped to both feet and held his blade almost vertically before him, still waiting. Then it happened, flash and movement. Chaos' eyes narrowed as the rocks flew towards him and when Oblivion followed on behind them he would find that Chaos was no where to be seen, in fact, the Rainbow Horseman had waited until the rocks came and jumped upwards, somehow able to spring many feet into the air over the rocks and Oblivion. Flash and slice, Chaos rotated in midair, his eyes slowing down in their colour shift and they held a bright pink before he flicked out Random towards Oblivion's back, the weapon leaving a streak of purple fluff in its wake as it flew towards the horseman's back. The magic coating the weapon meant that the blade would in fact be able to harm Oblivion without having itself destroyed in the process, Chaos just hoped that the confusion from his sudden disappearance and the sheer speed of the strike would allow the actual blade to contact. To make sure however he let go of the blade half way through the slash, the blade continued its path however, completely ignoring gravity. When he let go of the blade, Chaos turned again and coated his boot in magic before swinging a drop kick towards Oblivion's head.

if you was capable a feeling such petty emotion as rage, oblivion would have cursed through the seven circles of hell. as his hands swung through the space once occupying chaos he knew it was a mistake, reading the airwaves around him he felt the blade cut down towards his back, no matter it would be worse than usless on contact, but the boot coming very fast towards his head was a different matter. his brother had undoubtably put some magic behind the kick and that could prove unfortunate. he only had a split second two react. if he could quickly fire a rock were his foot would make contact then the momentum would be transfered to the stone which would then be disntigrated on impact. but he would only have a second to ........'ARGHHHHHH' oblivion stumbled forwards as random carved a slice through his shoulder and knocked him clear of the kick. liquid darkness bubbled out of the wound as it started to close up ''well done BROTHER'' oblivion twisted around his eyes burning with red light ''what a clever TRICK you just PULLED there'' the horseman of darkness stood his full height and towered over his chaotic brother, slowly he released the wards around his hands and pulled them over his head and chest, dust particles drifted up over his body making him look like a sand apparation then with a crack they all fused together to form a thick barrier against the physical and the metaphysical. moving slowly at first but building up speed he ran at the rainbow horseman, his eye burning with the knowledge that he could take anything the mijget threw at him.

Chaos smiled under his hood as Random carved through Oblivion's defenses, the Dark Horseman thinking it useless when it was far from it. The Flying horseman then landed on the ground with a horrendous cracking sound, it was the ground under him splintering however and he rolled to his feet in perfect time to catch Random in his waiting fist. "Come at me bro!" He shouted at Oblivion and then watched him with narrowed eyes and a smile curving his lips. "Nice trick Oblivion but it won't work" He whispered albeit it cut through the arena like a hot knife through butter before he started to sing "~Reach for the stars~" He started to sing in a perfect replica of the old earth song before running straight at the charging form of Oblivion. As Chaos ran, his eyes started to speed up while his brain ran through a list of ideas and he picked a great one. The Rainbow Horseman charged his hand with magic and threw an orb of shimmering magic at Oblivion, hopefully it would weaken his barrier as he charged Random with a powerful spell. The spell was the intent to cast a different spell that would cause a random, spike effect to happen. The orb, if it hit Oblivion would burst into random flowers and hopefully distract him from the fact that Chaos had rammed Random into the ground, charged with magic. To make sure that Random wasn't noticed, Chaos jumped upwards, making it completely obvious this time, and swung a punch toward Oblivion's head, his fist coated in magic and song lyrics still spilling from his lips as he done it. If Oblivion didn't notice Random then he wouldn't be able to stop in time before a massive plant shot out of the ground around the blade and launched a massive series of thorns towards Oblivion, all of them coated in magic and hopefully enough to pierce the dark horseman's defenses.

oblivion was unpredictable, it was his greatest strength, always had been. his motives never made sense to anyone and that usually gave him an edge in battle. however against the unpredictability of his chaotic brother it would seem trivial. what passed for his mind worked over time as he moved towards the rainbow horseman, he had no idea what chaos might do but he knew his brother well enough to know that he needed to ignore anything he might do that could distract him from winning. as if in complement to his thoughts, chaos started singing ''-reach for the stars-''. oblivion lowered his head 'oh that song.....that song is the bane of my existence BROTHER..' He let his voice spread towards chaos...but it seemed that the second chaos heard it he sent a bolt of energy flying towards oblivion in a split second and leapt through the air towards him. ...it was time to be unpredictable..... oblivion tensed into a crouch, hoping that his makeshift armour would protect him sufficiently against whatever the magical bolt had in store.  he let his reactions take over and time seemed to slow down. he felt chaos close the distance between them, it almost seemed like he was drifting. just as chaos closed the 3 meter gap oblivion leapt 'through' the bolt of energy and rocketed into chaos with enough force to crack the stone armour protecting him. the brothers flew into the sky, oblivion's arms wrapped around the waist of chaos and the wind whistling past them. oblivion didnt even have time to register the flowers. just as they began to slow down oblivion let go and with a sharp but light jab into the stomach of his brother he pushed him down. tendrils of darkness spread from the shoulders of oblivion as he slowed his descent and whatched chaos plummet downwards.
