The second round of the BattleArena Tournament, brought to you by [Magus Ferox]
Back to the Standings

---

Steel walks into the arena with renewed confidence, but she knows that she must not underestimate her opponent. While she waits for her opponent, she drinks some potion to make her wounds close. Then she dispells the Soul Devastator and sits on the ground.

[Bradahir`] enters the Arena, and looks straight at Steel, "Oh god... not you." she mutters under, then she smiles slyly like she knows something sinster, and says "It will be a pleasure fighting you."

Steel sees Bradahir` and stands. "Ah, the pleasure will be all mine." She laughs.

[Bradahir`] smiles and you can see she knows something... but should you worry? has anyone let out any secrets about how to hurt you? Bradahir` laughs softly and says, "Well then you must have pleasure in pain then because I promise you thats what I have for you." she carefully unsheaths a shortsword, gleaming gold, "You ready?"

Steel looks at the sword, then to bradahir's face. "Damn sototh...." Steel mutters under her breath. Then she pulls her Soul Devastator from her hand, given to her by Savrathot, ready to destroy the soul of her nemesis. "You will die long before I do, little one, you are foolish to underestimate the power of Savrathot's daughter." Steel laughs.

[Bradahir`] shakes her head, "I do not underestimate Steel, I know just how much power you have and how much I can get" she smirks and looks at Steels sword, "I know how my brother hurt you by taking your arm off, well I'll do a lot more than that..." then with a quick flick of her wrist as she yells, "Aman tel' Seldarines Pilin en' templa!" which creates hundreds of holy arrows which quick shoot at Steel like a wall as Bradahir` flies back slightly watching the demon carefully...

Steel quickly turns into mist to let the arrows fly past. When she solidifies, Steel laughs. "You are so silly! I would have thought you would have known better!". Then Steel throws a wave of dark energey at Bradahir`.

[Bradahir`] laughs as she is surrounded by flames and the dark energy just flows right past her, "Steel I thought you would know better, didn't you hear about what happened in the other arena?" and as soon as the sectence ended Bradahir` dissapeared and reappeared just behind Steel stabbing down with a small gold dagger and then flying back quick as soon as the knife hits...

Fortunatly, Steel's battlesuit repells the knife, but Steel seems surprised. "You are fast, but it won't save you from me." Steel says softly. Then she lunges at Bradahir`, her huge sword held over her head.

[Bradahir`] screams and flies out of the way of the incoming sword, 'Crap' she mutters to herself as she attempts to find a weak spot with she could attack Steel with the gold...

mayrahna enters with a flash of silver and golden light"you guysss.This is not the right time to duel.ohmigod bradihir nooo!!!" She goes into a defending pose at Bradahir` she was about to lunge but her heart shifter fell unto the ground carrying mayrahna down with it. she lept up pulling the heart shifter with her but it stayed down and she tried to pull it up but it burn her slender silver hand horribly "Good god!!!Wat the -" she murmered softly in an unknown language glared at her mother, picked up her heart shifter which spread poison of flame through her arm and flew to the infemary to soon come back to her mother's side again...

[Bradahir`] frowns, "So what you need your daughter to fight for you?" she frowns slightly a bit confused...

"Ah shit! Mayrahna you stay the hell out of here this is a tournament!!!!!" Steel yells before lunging at bradahir` again.
"Iio it`ik tomlo!(Try and dodge this!)" Steel yells in her native language.

[Bradahir`] flies up high about Steel and quickly lands straight behind and she quickly brings out her crossbow and shoots all of the magical holy bolts straight at Steel, at random points on her back hoping to find a weak spot...

As Steel turns for another attack, one of Bradahir`s arrows flies through the metal cloth into Steel's abdomen. Steel gasps with pain as her wings collapse. With a heavy thud, She falls to her knees on the ground, gasping for breath as the deadly magic burns Steel's flesh. The Eye on the hilt of the Soul Devastator locks onto Bradahir. Steel mutters something, and a bright blue beam of soul-seeking energey blasts from the eye of the powerful sword.

[Bradahir`] sees the notices the glow just before is shoots with a short scream she flies up to the high ceiling of the Arena and then just as fast shoots back down behind Steel hoping that the beam doesn't follow her or anything like that...

(note the words "Soul-Seeking") Unfourtunatly, the beam does follow Bradahir`, increasing in speed every second. Steel pulls the arrow from her stomach, which is bleeding badly, and says quietly, "Feel the pain of the Nitemare Rain."

[Bradahir`] screams and disappears from sight, she sceams out loudly "Atost en' entula orme" and at about 6 or 7 points of the room start to glow, Bradahir` reappears in the center of the points and smiles softly, as the beam stops suddenly wavering above Bradahir`'s head, "I have split the essence of my soul around the room." she looks at Steel, "What is Nitemare Rain..." she mutters more to herself than to anyone else.

Steel laughs out loud suddenly. "I cannot belive that you would reveal the essence of your soul to a soul-stealer!" She laughs, then removes the metal cloth from her hand and points her hand towards one of the points of light. Slowly, the point of light begins to sink into Steels palm.

[Bradahir`] laughs, "The essence of my soul must be different where you come from, what I call my essence is a copy an exacat copy of it. My soul doesn't exsist on this plane... well at least not in a place you or anyone else for that matter..." she looks down slightly, "Not even me most of the time..." she looks back up at Steel with renewed strength, as she suddenly throws the gold dagger straight at the open wound that she had created before...

Steel sees it just in time ant tries to dodge the dagger, but she is too slow, and the dagger rips through Steel's wing. Steel screams as the metal starts to eat away at Steel's wing membrane. Frantic, Steel takes hold of her sword, then slices off her wing, causing her to lose her ability to fly.
"DAMN YOU!!! LOOK WHAT YOU DID TO ME!!!!I WILL KILL YOU FOR THIS!!!!!!" Steel yells at Bradahir`, then suddenly, she blasts icy cold water from one hand, electricity from the other, right at Bradahir`.

[Bradahir`] looks from the icy water to the electricty, and thinks to herself, Well both will hurt but icy water hurts more so lets try and dodge that huh Bradahir as she thinks this she dodges as far as she can from the water but in the process is hit but the electricity hits her left foot and shoots up her leg and partly though her chest, luckily I don't have a heart like a human or I'd be dead she thinks to herself but all that she actually manages to get out is, "Owww" and then flies up towards the ceiling of the Arena, seeming that she now can't stand, and Steel can't fly should make the fight rather interesting.

Steel laughs, then puts her hands together to let the electricity and water combine, amplifying the voltage. then Steel aims carfully and fires at Bradahir` again.

[Bradahir`] screams and darts accross the room flying away form the water/electricity blast and then quickly mutters "Aman tel' Seldarines Pilin en' templa!" then thousands of little holy arrows rain down on Steel.

Steel stops her attack and weaves throught the rain of arrows, as smoothly as if she still had her other wing. Then Steel prepares herself for a little spell of her own. Holding her swording front of her, Steel starts to chant ,"Aklok, domocha, chonolok, Mehanas atrei`dwen, kowei do tadowen, alahass....". As she chants, the remaining wing melts into steel's body as her skin turns a chrome color. Slowly, the battlesuit dissapears and is replaced by thick armor. The armor gives steel a dark, frightening aura, while dark violet energey rises from Steel's body.......

[Bradahir`] not understanding what Steel is doing quickly starts to mutter a sheild armor spell, "Atost en' entula orme, Vara tel' Seldarine, Ama poldora, Aman tel' Seldarine." and a thick golden looking armor appears, Blessed is thee who believes she can trust in the goddess Bradahir` thinks to herself as she prepares for Steel's attack.

Steel opens her eyes slowly with a dark smile. Then she lets out a horrifying laugh that sounds like metallic, almost robotic. Steel stands up and directs her free hand towards Bradahir`, as a sphere of glowing black energey, sparking with power, forms in her hand. The sphere seems the take power from the life around it. Steel laughs again and aims, ready to destroy her nemisis. *Her armor won't help her against this.* Steel thinks to herself.

[Bradahir`] not knowing excatly what to expect does the only thing she knows to do, "Cantempla Duearthla Raflamela Goddess" a flame engulfs her and whole body is covered in flames, "Do your worst." her voice was like honey flowing gently over to Steel.

Steel smiles slyly as the ball of energey does not hit Bradahir`, but instead floats above her, sparking energey.

[Bradahir`] glances up to the ball of energy and shrugs, the flames surrounding her engulf the ball and start to push it back to Steel. With one large burst of energy the ball of energy head back to Steel.

Steel laughs as the sphere hits her, absorbing back into her body. With a flash of light the sphere reapears, but this time it forms a cage over Bradahir`, and starts to absorb her life force.

[Bradahir`] still surrounded by flames says clearly and loudly, "Lova poldora" and dissappears, suddenly she reappears out side the cage. The Goddess is with me and within me. she thinks to herself taking out the gold dagger that she had hidden and threw it at Steel aimed at her upper torso.

*Savrathot help me!* Steel thinks to herself. Suddenly, the Soul Devastator melts from Steel's hand and reappears in front of her.

[Bradahir`] unsheaths her golden sword, as she glows softly with the flames of the goddess around her.

Steel staggers back from the force of the dagger but is unharmed. The sword melts slowly back to her hand.

[Bradahir`] moves like fluid forwards slicing the golden sword at Steel's legs, The goddess holds me close she thinks to herself as she moves.

with a ghostly scream, steel's legs are cut by the deadly sword. suddenly, steel sloshes down into a pile of metallic-tar looking stuff. after a few moments, long, black tentacles stretch out to form disfigured arms, legs, and a face that strikes deep into the crevices of your mind. Slowly, steels face breaks so that a jagged mouth is apparent, and two huge curled horn-type things grow from her head. steel's eyes look like deep pits like that of a skull, with a faint blue light glowing like fire. Steel lets out another screech, this one so high in pitch that it hurts to hear it. "You have seen my true face, and you will not escape me now. even if i lose, i will hunt you down and you will lose your soul at my hands. brace yourself young one, your blood is mine." She says in the same high-pitched voice.

[Bradahir`] shakes her head, "My soul belongs already to another and cannot be taken from her." she lifts her sword and slices it again this time at Steel's torso.

The sword goes through Steel like butter, flinging acidic tarrish stuff all over the place, but Steel fuses back together and is unharmed. "Your sword can do no further damage to my being. The golden blade merely forces a soul-stealer to it's true form, if they are pure-blooded. Further struggle is futile." Steel says, then lashes one of her arms out to grab Bradahir`.

[Bradahir`] surrounds herself with flames and disappears and reappears high up and far away from Steel, Goddess show me what I can do she prays to herself softly wondering what she can do to defeat Steel.

Steel laughs and sprouts grotesque batlike wings, dripping with the substance that steel is made of. With a gust of wind, Steel propels herself towards Bradahir` as each of her arms becomes a deadly axe.

[Bradahir`] disappears again and the reappears behind Steel, with her sword grasped in her hand she yells, "Gurth goth rim lye!" as she slices her sword down at the wings and at her back.

Mulciber stumbles into the Arena, "Whoo.. Sorry I'm so late. Okay, I've got your scores.. And the winner is [Bradahir`], with 240 points, [For Bloodlust!] nipping at her heels with 230. Congrats to you both, Steel can go on to the Consolation fight, and Bradahir, we'll contact you when we've set up the next round fight. Thanks for playing!"

[Bradahir`] nods and flutters out of the arena not saying another word.

"NO!!! HOW COULD I LOSE??? AGAINST A MERE CHILD!!! BRADAHIR`!!! I WILL GET YOU FOR THIS!!!!!" Steel yells in anguish, then dissapears in a swirl of black mist.

[Anathoth] wanders into the arena, sticks up a link to where Bradahir is supposed to be: Championship2.
