- Animus Sin Versus Black Airs, The Swordsmen Clash! -





Shiki groaned, rising to his feet, he dusted himself off and turned his attention to the monitors at the far end of the stadium. The first two teams to fight being displayed, the ivory haired youth gained an excited grin, slapping Ren upon the back as he snickered.

"Go get 'em, Cutta'!"

Shiki spoke out, his nickname for the other staying as true as it had the day he first used it. That fateful confrontation with the Admirable Admiral Gin felt distant, like it had taken place a lifetime ago, but it had only been about a week or so.

"Aye, Aye, Captain."

Ren said in a joking manner, nodding his head, he stepped out beyond his comrades heading towards the ring, which this time was a much larger circle, bars lining the edges, black as the night, built out of pure Ivanite, the anti-stone that nullifies Essence. He wore the attire he had worn the day his blades clashed with Captain Zara.

Ren's opponent being with young man known as Lucia, the current wielder of the first Demon Sword, Ryūketsu. He was about a foot taller than Ren, spiky, black hair, bangs sprawled over his forehead, lids shut, hiding crimson eyes. His upper attire being a black, long-sleeved shirt, worn loose, black pants and boots, blade held at his waist by a dingy, brown belt.

"He's the prey you really wanted to fight, right?"

"Yeah. I'd like to use at least fifth-teen percent of Ryūketsu's power."

"I'll allow you to gauge how much is necessary, this one is anything but a novice. His eyes are sharp, be safe."

The pale-skinned woman said cautiously, flicking her shoulder-length auburn hair over her right shoulder, bangs moved from her forehead would reveal fierce, scarlet orbs. She wore the same red bodysuit she had worn during the preliminaries.

Ren and Lucia made their ways into the ring, hopping up into the air, feet touching down upon, old, gray stone tiles. Violet orbs meeting Crimson orbs with a fierce, glaring match, the two swordsmen sized each other up. Lucia couldn't help but to notice it, the other male smelled of blood, this made him rather curious.

"What are you hiding?"

"None of your business."

"I guess, I will have to force it out of you."

Ren glared back at the other male, he withdraw one of his dual swords, resting within a jade scabbard. He stepped forward, the other male heading towards him, drawing his blade along the way. Their feet kicking back against the old, gray stone, propelling them forward. The blade of Ren slicing through the air from above him, sparks flew as his strike was met by a horizontal strike from Lucia.

They fired off vicious assaults, sparks flying through the air, they would need to get a feel for one another before they started pulling out the stops. At the moment, it would seem that Ren was losing ground, slowly, but surely, he was being pushed back out of center stage.

Shiki ran up to the side of the ring, fingers curling around the bars lining the ring, his body was sapped of all its strength, the ivory haired youth staggering backwards. The man with wild, dark brown hair who wields sand, broke into a fit of hysterical laughter upon seeing this.

"You fool, you can't touch Ivanite if you're an ability-user."

"Jace, shut your mouth before I kill you myself."

Spoke the annoyed tones of the young woman with short, auburn locks, her light blue hues taking on an almost cold, icy glare. She had a sinister red and black aura surrounding her, not much unlike the man known as Lucia, at this very moment.

"Kick his ass, Cutter!"

Shouted Shiki heatedly, striking the air violently, azure flames would lift off of his body as he did so. He seemed to be the most excited about the fight, the crowd unexpectedly calm and silent, so much so that it was bordering on creepy.

Within the ring, Ren was nearing the edge of the ring, he knew he need to escape this situation fast, before it was too late. He jumped back, boots meeting the Ivanite bars, her lunged forward, drawing his other dual sword within this motion. The blades crossed, catching the blade of Lucia. Ren passed forward with all his might, staggering his foe, if only momentarily.
The semi-final's have officially begun, as fate would have it, the first face off is between the sponsored Animus Sin Team, and the Black Airs Team.
More specifically, the anticipated clash between Ren and Lucia, both are swordsmen in their own rights, but who is stronger?
Next time the fight heats up!
Stay tuned for more!
