The stage had been set, in other words the arena was ready. The hard rock ground had been covered in sand, adding a slight degree of balance difficulty as if to come to a sudden stop, the metal gates had been raised, it was as if two gladiators from roman times were about to run out from the passages at one another and fight, fight for victory and fight for the entertainment of the crowd. But there was no crowd, that giant cement stands were completely empty, an eerie silence had covered the arena, not even the wind blew a gust, everything was dead still. The top of the arena was uncovered, it was almost a copy of the Coliseum, but only in better condition.

The silence was then broken by an yell of anger and hate from inside one of the passages. A massive gust of when was sent out from it, blowing the sand into the air and into a twirling tornado, cast by the deeply angered Kenji Yamatsu. He ran from the passage and the sand fell, some back into the arena, the rest outside it. The sun hit him at full glare, there were no clouds covering the heavens above and the sand had become extremely hot. Kenji was dressed in his normal battle atire. A long sleeved grey shirt, concealing gold plated chest armour, the shirt was ripped at the ends of the sleeves, and the fabric slightly worn in some places. Around his waist was a leather strap, connected to one side of the strap was his sheath, holding his weapon of choice 'Sword of Elements'. Obviously, a sword which possessed strong powers over the four main elements, Wind, Earth, Fire and Ice. On the hilt of the sword were four small gems, each representing colours of the four elements. Long black pants and black war boots, extremely tough but very light, made up the rest of his clothes.

Kenji crouched down slightly and tensed the muscles in his arms and his back, then let out again a loud yell of anguish, he raised his right hand, clenched his fist and punched the rock hard ground firmly, cracking the rock as his fist made contact. His long black hair fell in front of his enraged eyes, he then became walking around of the outside of the arena, building up his strength inside himself by focusing on the four elements, the elements of which he had learnt to use from a ery young age, now at the age of 25, he was extremely skilled, and a very capable user. He was already annoyed with having to wait for his opponent and let out another yell, with the words 'Where the hell are you'

[Usagy]

He took a sip of his wather and looked at the building, impressed by the size. It seemed to be some crossing of ancient architecture and communistic architecture, both intended to impress the viewers.
The thing that Shinobi noticed immediately was the silence that covered this place. The dark, iron gates empowered that feeling, the feeling like he entered the realm of the death. The heath of the sand went through his long dark boots. He moved away a part of his long black hair that hung in front of his dark red eyes. These eyes were from the part of him that was demonic.

He was the only child of a Shinobi ninja warrior and a orcish demon. When he turned into total anger he could turn into this demon at will, until then he had to use his Shinobi-Ninjitsu techniques and his elemental usage to rely in battle. He had been trained by his parents from the age of three. Since that day he had the harshest trainings possible, in the most difficult environments, like the desert and the snow fields. From his Shinobi father he had learned how to use the chi in the body for the purpose of the elements. Since then he had trained to control the water, earth, fire and wind into perfection.

He walked with steady paces onto the battlefield, his black cloak waving behind him. At the back of the leather cloak there was the sheath attached for his katana. It was the family heritage and could slice through almosy anything.
For the rest he wore a black ninja outfit made out of hard, steady material, protected with the power of black magic.

He looked up at his opponent and noticed the sword that he carried.
Hmm, an elemental warrior, this might get interesting, he thought.
"You won't have to search further, here I am, Let's get this started with", Shinobi said.

He made a deep bow, as a sign of respect and grabbed his katana in both hands.

[Kou]

Kenji yelled at Shinobi 'Its about time'. Kenji took notice of the bow of respect, and was about to bow back, but quickly changed his mind and acted as if he ignored it. Kenji grabbed hold of the hilt of his sword, which hung in the sheath on his left side. With his right hand he slowly slid the sword from the sheath. The glaring suns rays of light reflected strongly off the freshly polished blade as it slid from the leather covering. The blade, still unused, even after his first match, which would have surely been an exhausting match if his opponent had not needed to skip the match due to other reasons, Kenji was dissapointed about this, but glad also that he was in the next round.

As Kenji quickly looked over his opponent, the first thing that grabbed his attention, was the fact that Shinobi was also a master of the elements, as was he. This shall no doubt be an interesting match, could very well come down to sword skills. Kenji then smiled as he looked at the blade of his treasured sword, and thought about the many secrets hidden inside it. 'This will no doubt be a good match, no?' yelled Kenji. He lightly threw his sword in the air and it spun around 180 degrees, it then feel towards the ground, blade first. Just as it was about to touch the ground, Kenji ceased its descent by grabbing the handle, holding it in a grip, much like you would hold a dagger. He then slowly lowered the blade down until it touched the ground, likely like a feather which had fallen from the heavens, he then ran the sword through the thin layer of sand which remained, leaving a small line of the rock ground uncovered, a small ritual of which Kenji had adopted from his battles. The quickly he spun it around and held it as he was before, tip pointing up. He then snapped his neck to the sound, a loud crack was heard, then again as he swung his head around to the other side, tilting his neck on the opposite angel. 'Lets get this thing started'. Spoke Kenji, in a slightly calmer tone.

With this he then pushed off his left foot, kicking grains of sand out from behind him, then followed through with his right foot, breaking into a quick sprint, running from the outer arena into the center where Shinobi stood. Kenji started extending his strides, as if preparing to take a long jump. It seemed as if Kenji's feet were not even touching the ground, but they were touching so lightly that they did not even disturb the sand as he went. But as he soon focused on a small wind spell from underneath himself, the sand spun in a small spiral underneath him as he lifted into the air. Kenji's lifted only one and a half meters into the air, then gravity took its place, Kenji began to descend towards Shinobi. His sword of elements raised high above his head, was then pulled downwards in a lightning fast downwards slash, aimed towards Shinobi's skull, as Kenji bent his knees and prepared for the small landing.

[Usagy]

Shinobi had been watching the action os fhis opponent closely and had noticed even the slightest movement of his opponent. He uses the wind to walk without gravity, nice one, Shinobi thought, thinking of trying to perform that skill as well some other day, but first he had to take care of Kenji, who was flying from the sky in his direction.

The young, ninja concluded that it was the best option to fight wind with wind as well. From the moment that his opponent had started running Shinobi had started to charge his katana with his own energy. He could visualize the katana into his very own mind until it was the only thing that existed for Shinobi. That way he could transform every single molecule structure in the blade to change its powers and form. He made the molecules move faster and faster, wich made the temperature of the blade increase immensely until it even started to catch flame. Little flames heated up the sword, like there were running little men all over the sword.

He summoned the wind magic with a certain part of his mind and a tornado flew into the direction of Kenji, because of a slight gesture of Shinobi's left hand. This way his opponent would be blown away from his own body, thus not being slayed by his elemental sword.
When Kenji was in the air again, Shinobi grabbed his fire blade into two hands at the dark red hilt and made a fierce strike towards his attacker. A long range of flames flew into the air, all aimed towards their target, Kenji.

[Kou]

A sudden uproar of wind slowed Kenji's descent and put him offcourse as he fell down to the ground, but not where he had planned. He stumbled slightly as he landed on the ground, but still remained upright, left foot out behind his right as he regained his center of balance, but his attention was quickly stolen by the oncoming line of flames. Thinking quickly Kenji quickly focused strongly on the element of ice, he felt the air surrounding him drop in temperature as he quickly spun his sword in front of him in a continuous circle, solid ice then seemed to trail from the sword, creating a circle from one edge of the blade, all around to the other, creating a diameter which covered the width and height of Kenji. The ice wall then quickly melted as the flames wore thin and ceased, the ice wall then was nothing more then hot water which dropped onto the ground with a quiet splash as it was absorbed into the sand. Kenji then smiled with satisfaction as he stared into the eyes of his opponent. 'Nice' spoke Kenji to Shinobi, proud of the technique which he had not done before. I'll keep that one in mind thought Kenji to himself.

Kenji quickly glanced around in the empty rock grandstands of the arena, and noticed 4 large unlit torches all equal distances apart. All Kenji did was quickly glance at the four of them and they lit alight with a large and tall flame. The flames increased insize dramatically over a couple of seconds. Kenji sheathed his sword and crossed his eyes and then grinned like a psychopath as the flames seemed to lift from the large platforms they had on the end of stone statures. They then seemed to spin around the circular grandstands, increasing their speed on each circuit around. Then they come to a sudden halt, each for balls of fire at their original starting position. The almost immediatly after they headed towards Shinobi, leaving a long trail fire behind them. They began circiling around Shinobi, slowly decreasing the distance between him and themselves, they then began spiralling towards him at a greater speed, as Kenji still stood with his arms crossed, focusing on the fireballs, controlling them.

[Usagy]

Shinobi stood there on the battlefield, the heat getting close to his body, the hot sand breathing through his leather boots. It felt like he was in an oven, wich was getting hotter and hotter with the minute. His jacket was already cathing a little bit of flame, but with a swift motion of his hand it was extinguished immediately, but he knew he didn't have much time in this time anymore until he would be burnt alive.
He focused on his wind magic and felt hisself slightly moving away from the ground. The air lifted him up, so he won't have to bear the gravity much. He tightened his muscles and made a quick jump, to dodge the fireballs that were already coming closer and closer towards him.

The wind was still helping him to float through the air and play with gravity. It felt like he was flying, the way that the wind blew through his long black hair felt like he was a god.
He stopped when he was approximately twenty feet up in the air, where he was just floating, observing his enemy. Waiting to strike again upon him and let out his wrath.
He stretched out his arms above his head and started to chant in some strange language.
He used the light as his power. The are around the young warrior started to darken up bit by bit until dark clouds were formed, blocking almost all other light.
Little sparks started to form in the clouds and the wind started blowing.
Whirlwinds had started to take form and sandwaves were flying towards Kenji. Little drips of rain started to come down from the clouds shortly after and it didn't take much longer for an intense hurricane to have started, an immense quantity of rain came falling from the sky, while the sparklings in the clouds started to take more form with the second as well.
After like ten seconds there started to form little blasts of electricity, lighting blots were striking down upon the direction of Kenji.
There had been created a total chaos down on Earth.

Blargh, you're both average.

Er....sorry, I just got done judging a match with really great RPB'ers.

So yah. Its time to judge. And it isn't easy. You two are very evenly matched. They always stick me with the ones that are evenly matched. Its bullshit, really.

The Winner is Kou Leifoh, sad to say. Its sad to say because he has run on sentences, jumps from topic to topic mid-paragraph, and reading his posts is a bumpy ride altogether. The only thing you have going for you is creativity. You lack the ability to create a good post, but you have creativity. And with that I award you the victory.

Which only makes Usagy's loss all the more dramatic. But don't worry, I'm sure Kou's turn will come in the next round.

But there I go; I almost sound kinda biased. I hate being a judge. I have to make all these hard decisions. -_-
