[Neo Necron]

New round... same arena. In the arena stood a man known as the Crimson Mage, but by no other name. The 6 foot mage stood boldly after his previous win against Exodus. His scarred face showed nowexpression... only concentration. His long red trenchcoat was still dirty, afterthe previous battle. HE did not waste time his washing his stuff, as the only preparations he went through were through mind and body, readying himself for the next opponent.

He brushed his fingerless-gloved left hand through his silvery grey hair, then he slipped his right hand into the left inside pocket of his trenchcoat, grabbing two large daggers. He pulled them out, and held them out in a fan.
"Ethi." He grumbled, launching on dagger into the air, prior to catching it in his other hand. "Esha." He then said, throwing up the next dagger, but catching it in the same hand both daggers were fanned out in. 'Ethi' and 'Esha' were the names ofhis two daggers, his trusty weapons used in every battle of his, and were of the larger dagger type, just 1 inch shorter than being classed as a sword.

"I am here." Crimson Mage muttered. "As are my trusted blades, Ethi and Esha...... now where is my opponent?"

[Shan'do Spike]

Lex sat in a small room in the arena, meditating. The arena was not well furnished, just a simple table in the middle of the room. The room gave off an austere feel, but that did not bother Lex. He was engrossed deep in thought.

He had just arrived home after destroying all the people. He had figured the mighty Elven army would have arrived and burned the house already. He was both surprised and delight to find out that the house had not been destroyed, but his delight would soon turn to anguish. The sword would not be appeased. Its immitigable hunger could not be denied. He entered into the house to his wife in two children. For the first time in weeks, he felt truly happy. However, like all great things, it came to an end. The blade first sensed the innocent nature of the children. It called out to him. And once the blade beckoned, Lex had to follow.

He took his blade out of his sheath just as the youngest one ran to embrace him. He leaped yelling, “Daddy!!!” Lex took the blade and ran it straight through his heart. The wife gasped. The unwounded child stood there, her young, childish emotions unable to comprehend what she had just seen. The wounded child stood for about two seconds, and then fell to the ground, dead. The mother, a powerful Elven magician, quickly teleported the child and herself out of the house. Suddenly, he heard a cry from far off in the horizon. It was the cry he heard many times in his previous life—the cry of the Elven army.

Like locusts upon a new harvest, the army attacked the house. Lex prepared himself for a large battle. The blade desired the battle. He had killed over 20 elves when a dart came whizzing through the air. It caught him straight in the jugular. A tranquilizer quickly spread throughout his body. He slumped to the floor, unconscious.

Lex opened his eyes back in the real world. The blade was pulsating again. The crowd was cheering. All was prepared for another bloody spectacle. And all spectators would get what they wanted—a brutal, bloody show. He ran through various halls under the arena and emerged in the ring. He stared his opponent in the face and began to laugh again. He gave off a cold, evil laugh. Surely another soul would fall to the blade today.

(Edit ooc: sorry I couldn't post last night. It involves something called "parents" getting pissed at me because I was being "disrespectful", so I had to turn off the computer. Anyways, good luck NN)

[Neo Necron]

((OOC: It's okay. Coz of school I can only make about 1 post a day anyway. Good luck to you too!))

Crimson Mage smirked in the direction of Lex.
"Next one, eh?" he grinned, scratching his neck casually with the Ethi dagger. He then strode slowly forwards, kicking the dirt on the arena floor. He stopped when he reched Lex. He stared at his feet, then moved his eyesight up to his face.

Taking two steps back, Crimson Mage then jumped a couple of backflips, to the spot he was previously standing in.
"You look like a worthy opponent" He said, showing the most respect he'd ever give to anyone. He usually is pretty in your face, not trusting anybody after the 'incident' back at his old village. "But only the daggers can tell if you are truely worthy. Prepare yourself, not all my attacks are this simple, but I always use this one first...."

He held out the Ethi and Esah daggers, and launched then in Lex's direction. Crimson Mage's throwing skills were hard to dodge, but could Lex dodge them?...

[Shan'do Spike]

(ooc: sorry again, I have a huge history test today…I probably shouldn’t be posting anyways XD, but I am……I just hope I don’t fail it)

Lex waited for Crimson Mage’s follow-up to throwing the daggers.

“This seriously can’t be his attack,” he thought to himself.

However, it appeared that would be it, so he decided to take action. He quickly squatted down, gathering energy for a jump. Grabbing the sword and pushing it into the ground, he gave a small jump, only to grab onto the sword and to use it to make him perpendicular to the ground. From there, he pushed down, and then quickly up again, with his arms. The release of the potential energy being released launched Lex high into the air.

“Demon Blade, come to your servant!”

The sword miraculously removed itself from the ground and flew into Lex’s hands. He grabbed the sword and, during his descent, slashed at the two daggers that were approaching him. Sparks flew from the blade as he made contact with both daggers. They were knocked aside easily.

From there, Lex began his attack on Crimson Mage. Grabbing the DemonBlade in both hands, he jabbed at Crimson Mage, who promptly dodged to the right. Slashing at CM’s midsection, he was frustrated as Crimson Mage jumped and dodged he attack. He felt the power inside of Crimson Mage.

“Perhaps, perhaps I underestimated him,” he thought to himself.

Lex grabbed the blade, having an idea of what he would do now.

”Azmodan, Lord of Trickery, come to your servant’s aid. Befuddle your foes!”

The DemonBlade began to shift slowly. It took the form of a small mirror. Suddenly, a fist broke through the mirror and broke the pane of glass. All the glass shards aligned themselves around Lex at the exact proper angles. What used to be the mirror transformed back into the DemonBlade. The shards of glass continued their perfect alignment. Lex was reflected completely in the glass, and the bouncing of the sunrays off of the glass created optical illusions. Several Lexes seemed to appear from nowhere, each mimicking the actions of the real Lex. Lex now began to rush at CM, along with all of the other holograms. They all took their swords and prepared to attack CM’s midsection again.

(ooc:shoddy science, I know, but, who's counting? ?))

[Neo Necron]

"Hehe, exceellent, you really are a worthy opponent." Crimson Mage smiled, as the multiple forms of Lex charged in his direction. Crimson Mage stared to the left, and saw Lex. To the right... Lex agian. To the front.... Lex, and finally to the back, Lex. All these forms of Lex had him cornered, but Crimson Mage was not worried. He bent his knees downwards, prior to leaping ino the air, and out of the surrounding circle of Lex's copies.

Crimson Mage landed a few feet away from his former position, and as he landed, the dirt on the floor clouded around his feet, pushed up from the impact of his feet.
"So, make me get myself dirty eh? Same as the last guy I beat." He grinned. "Time you witnessed a mage's power!" He flung his arms wide open, and spoke again "Ethi, Esha, come!" The two daggers rose from the ground and flew back into CM's rough grip. As they landed in his palm, he quickly thrust his hands forward, throwing the daggers into the floor.

"PIERCE RED!" CM shouted. The daggers rumbled, and the crack in the ground began to glow red. Suddenly, a bright scartlet red light emmited from the crack, a light that was searing hot, and would burn almost all it touched, a light that shone right towards Lex........

[Shan'do Spike]

Lex stood, unmoved and confident as always, as the light started to head his way. Knowing that he did not have much time to avoid it, he made a desperate gamble. He stepped forward with his left foot, also moving his left hand forward. Then he swung his right arm behind his back so as to leave him in a position where his right arm was near his waist and his right arm was above his head. His body angled away from Crimson Mage. The light flew through the C-shaped recess between Lex’s left arm and his body. As it passed, Lex cringed from the heat the light gave off even in a miss. He came out unharmed, though.

He looked down at the sword, and began to move his lips, as if speaking to it. Lex turned to look at Crimson Mage awkwardly and then began to laugh.

“I understand. You, boy!” he yelled, looking at CM, “You are not a worthy opponent. No demon will even come to defeat you, for they feel their powers are unneeded.”

Once again, Lex began to laugh. His cold, horrible laugh echoed from around the stadium. Every square inch of the arena reverberated with the cold horrible laugh. It was the laugh that felled Narcissus, the laugh that gave Persephone to Hades.

“Boy, I’ll give you one chance. You get one free attack, and then you’ll be destroyed. So, please, give me your best shot. I’m sure it won’t be enough.”

Lex increased his grip on the sword, smirked at CM, and prepared for an attack.

The winner here, clearly, is Spike.

Your writing styles are both very nice. If I were to judge on writing styles, I could not come to a verdict because you are both so evenly matched.

But Spike has longer posts. Better descriptions....longer attacks. I have to give him the victory.
