Violet Newton Versus Takeru Takao!
Violet enters the arena and waits for her opponent. Even though she wasn’t sure if they were going to be allowed to bring weapons she brought hers just in case which came in the form of a giant mace that had a eight foot long handle.
“Where is my opponent? Was he afraid to show his face because he knew he didn’t stand a chance?” Violet says with a haughty grin.
Takeru is still sitting in the bleachers listening to his music. Shiro taps him on the shoulder.
“...What’s up?” Takeru says as he removes a headphone from his ear.
“It's your turn to fight.” Shiro says as she points towards the arena.
“...Oh…cool.” Takeru gets up and slowly walks towards the ring.
“Look who finally decided to show up! You know that it is rude to keep a lady waiting.”
“Sure.” Takeru says with a shrug.
“Very well, let’s get this fight started. Shall we?” Violet says with a determined look on her face as she shoots a glance at Zari.
Zari gives Violet a nod and holds the megaphone up to her face. “Fight!”
Violet runs towards Takeru with the mace down at the side of her body. As she runs into range she gets in position to swing and clashes with Takeru who quickly unsheathes his sword.
Takeru pushes Violet and sends her staggering a few feet backwards. He holds his sword over his shoulder. Violet notices that his sword is now glowing a light green.
“It seems that you are stronger than I thought.” Violet says while panting.
“I get that a lot.” Takeru says as he moves into a battle stance.
Violet runs towards Takeru and swings her mace over her head and down towards her opponent. Takeru quickly dodges as Violet’s mace hits the ground with a giant clank.
Violet grunts angrily and lifts her mace back up before swinging at Takeru again which he easily dodges again.
Violet swings again and misses, but the swing after that actually does connect with Takeru’s blade.
“...How…are you so fast?” Violet questions in between pants.
“I just go with the flow.” Takeru says as he raises his sword over his head using both hands.
He then swings it downwards which unleashes a massive wave of green energy right towards Violet. She blocks it using her mace, but the force of the projectile causes it to fly out of her hands and clatter on the ground behind her.
“...What was that?” Violet asks with a confused yet intrigued look on her face.
“Oh. That’s just a little trick of mine. Cool, right?” Takeru responds with his usual chill demeanor.
“...Well, I might as well show you a little trick of my own then. That would only be fair, right?”
Violet proceeds to bend down and lifts a massive tile of stone out of the grid that makes up the floor of the arena.
She then tosses it towards Takeru with great force.
Takeru dices it to pieces with the precision of a professional chef. The stone slab separates into small cubes and Takeru’s sword is glowing again.
Takeru sends out another massive wave of energy towards Violet who quickly lifts another stone tile out of the floor of the arena and tosses it towards Takeru.
Takeru’s attack easily causes the stone tile to crumble, but Violet flies through the cloud of dust that the previous impact created with her mace and swings towards Takeru once again.
Takeru attempts to block, but the attack is so strong that it sends him backwards and causes him to drop his glowing sword.
“I’m going to take a wild guess and assume that you can’t do much without your sword. What a shame, but I’ll admit that this wasn’t nearly as dreadful as I thought it would be.” Violet says smugly.
A small smirk climbs onto Takeru’s face. He proceeds to backflip three times and quickly grabs his sword again.
He beckons Violet towards him and she loses it.
She screams in anger and runs towards him while wildly flailing her mace around.
Takeru successfully blocks every single one of her swings.
After her barrage is done and her energy is mostly spent she slams her mace against the ground and leans on it for support while sweating profusely.
Takeru slowly walks towards Violet with his sword which is shining a brilliantly vibrant color which isn’t too dissimilar to that of the Aurora Borealis. As his sword slowly drifts from side to side while in his hand it leaves a rainbow-like trail in its wake.
He then swings his sword and a gigantic wave of rainbow colored energy flies from his sword and towards Violet. She holds up her mace to block, but the impact is so strong that it breaks down the middle and the pieces fly behind her. It also sends her flying backwards for a while after she eventually lands on the ground in a sitting position.
“You're quite strong, princess. I’ll give you that, but it will take more than brute force to defeat me.” Takeru says with a small grin on his face. “You actually might just be one of the most physically strong fighters I have ever met, but that doesn’t matter much if you can’t land a hit.”
“What are you saying? I did land a hit on you!” Violet says as she struggles to stand up and dusts herself off.
“Sure, but it was a lucky shot. One out of about 100 swings working isn’t something I’d brag about. You may have power, but you lack rhythm.”
“...What? Now you're speaking nonsense!” Violet responded with anger bubbling up inside of her.
“Maybe I am. Maybe I’m not, but you can’t argue with the results.”
Violet thinks for a moment and lets out a long sigh.
“You know what. That’s fair. I know when I have been beat.” Violet says as puts her mace down and slowly walks towards Takeru.
“I’m sorry that I underestimated you. That was a good fight.” Violet says as she extends a hand towards Takeru.
He quickly returns the handshake while rubbing his other hand behind the back of his neck. “Don’t mention it.”
“With that being said…” Violet says with a large smile. “...Maybe you shouldn’t underestimate me either.”
“...What?” Takeru says with a confused look on his face that is quickly replaced with one of shock.
Violet begins to swing Takeru around herself in a circular motion and after gaining enough momentum tosses him out of the ring and towards one of the walls of the gym.
He slams against the wall in a giant thud that leaves a massive crack in his wake.
Violet dusts her hands, crosses her arms, and slowly walks out of the ring and towards Takeru.
“You know, you're quite strong, princess!” Violet says in a mocking tone towards her downed opponent. She follows up with an incredibly arrogant and haughty laugh.
Violet then turns towards Zari with a small, yet noticeably smug expression.
“Go ahead Miss Xango. Announce the winner.” Violet says as she brushes her hair off of her shoulder.
“Aight.” Zari says while raising her megaphone to her lips. “The winner of the fourth match is…Violet Newton!”
“Oh, stop it! You're making me blush!” Violet says in a way that indicates that she actually wants the praise to continue.
Jack glances over at Angella with the same face as always.
“Not a word! This isn’t a competition, you know?” Angella says with a grumpy expression on her face.
“...Sure it’s not…” Jack says with what was his first smile for that whole semester so far.
Zari looks towards Jack and Angella and lets out a small chuckle.
“...The next match will be…Maka Sharktooth versus Shiro Long!”
