As the blade was pushed backward, Blue surged his fist forward, releasing the cold and removing all of the kinetic energy surrounding his fist from the immediate area... If DarkSlaya didn't do something, Blue's fist would certainly connect. Considering his fist had, at this point, enough power to freeze the ground of the entire arena, there was a touch more than a slight chance that DarkSlaya wouldn't want to be hit.

Blue: "I'll show you the true extent of my abilities!"

------------------------------------------------

Red: "Janus, he's gone insane!"

The man's glasses nearly fell off his face as he watched Blue grapple with DarkSlaya's sword. Blue was crazy, to be using a technique like Absolute Zero in an environment like this... With the heat of the arena, not only would it be insane to maintain it, but at the same time...

"Wait... Wait, I think I understand now..."

Janus: "Oh?"

Red: "Yeah! Think about it! It's so hot in the arena, how would something as cold as John's attack feel?"

Grey: "It'd probably be about a million times worse than having ice put down your shirt in the middle of the summer..."

Red: "Exactly!"

His expression changed from one of fear to one of excitement... He called to mind immediately his battle with Jarukoth, at one point a long time ago. Jarukoth had used a technique on him, where he had forged a ball of energy in his hand. Remembering the painful wound in his chest that had resulted, Red equated the force of the blow easily with Blue's Absolute Zero technique. Blue had the power, for sure.

The truth of the matter was, Red didn't seriously believe Blue was weak. In fact, he considered Blue a great deal stronger than himself. He felt Blue lacked, if anything at all, confidence. But this... This wasn't confidence. This was arrogance. Perhaps that was why Red, not Blue, was the leader of the team. If Blue had power, would he abuse it? Would he prove to be a weak leader, no matter how strong his mind was? How strange, that he should feel the need to prove himself to Red. Why?

Red's eyes fell to the ground. Had he given Blue a need to prove himself? Perhaps the flaw, then, was in Red. Perhaps Red had lorded his own abilities to an extent where Blue could contain himself no longer. Strange, it was. But stranger still, that Blue would prove his abilities not in a battle with Red, but in a battle with someone else.


Janus: "Thinking about something, Evan?"

Red: "Yes.... I am. One thing I do know, though, is that Blue needs to stop, and he needs to stop soon."

Janus: "The mind of a warrior is much more complex than it seems, Evan. Especially when the warrior is also a scientist."

Red: "True..."

[OOC]Sorry if mislooked the attack at first... that's when you see the extents of my english + Fast reading [/OOC]

DarkSlaya used both his hands to block Blue's attack. He carefully grabed it so he wasn't too close to the coldest spot. He then deflected to punch so it wouldn't it anything.

DarkSlaya: Remind me of never try to block an attack like this again.

DarkSlaya looked at his half-frozen sword, he couldn't believe that it could be repelled like it was.

DarkSlaya: Wait a minute!! I know!

DarkSlaya his sword back, but didn't remove the ice on it. He had an idea and he knew it's chances to work would be good.

DarkSlaya: Ever heard of the saying "Fight fire with Fire"? I'm gonna do the same!

DarkSlaya rushed at Blue, with his Frozen Edge (as he decided to call his blade that was half-frozen).

DarkSlaya: Now, this will be interesting.

As DarkSlaya's grab threw Blue off-balance, Blue's fist headed straight for the ground, effectively freezing the sand of the arena's floor into a thin layer of solid white ice! Certainly, the sun would melt the ice after a few moments, but until then, it was time to slip and slide away.

Which Blue did, of course, taking a dive onto his stomach and underneath DarkSlaya's blade. He rolled onto his feet, his legs quivering as he struggled to maintain his balance on the sheet of ice which covered the ground. He pushed his sunglasses up his nose, and positioned them meticulously, livid.


Blue: "That... should not... have missed..."

The man was clearly pissed. While the ice was still covering the ground, Blue shut his eyes tightly and began to focus harder than ever. Though DarkSlaya could not feel it yet, the ground was beginning to quiver...

DarkSlaya wasn't affected as much by the ice as Blue thought. His training prepared him for that kind of thing. But the real reason was his blade, which was now Ice elemental.

DarkSlaya: Nice, now I'll be able to skate for awhile.

DarkSlaya was obviously mocking Blue. As he saw Blue concentrating, he decided to go and try to finish him off, as it was a golden opportunity. But as he prepared to strike, he felt something....

DarkSlaya (whispering): No, I shouldn't attack.... There's something that's more wrong than anything I encountered in this battle.

DarkSlaya: What are you up to, Blue?

Blue was a roiling mass of rage now... The sky opened up, as the Oracle's Pyramid adjusted itself to Blue's current emotional status...

-----------------------

Red: "Crap!"

Blue had gotten angry. That wasn't good. Blue never got angry. DarkSlaya had to ahve embarassed Blue pretty badly. Red knew full well how strong Absolute Zero was, and to have it so easily defeated by DarkSlaya had to have been a huge shot to Blue's already crippled ego...

It was only logical what would happen next.


Red: "Janus! Jason! Grey! GET DOWN!"

-----------------------

As the four of them hit the deck at Red's beckoning, an explosion of ice rocked the arena around them, and the ground broke into a mass of floating shards of ice! Standing at varying levels, the massive chunks of ice were large enough to be counted as platforms, the highest of which Blue stood on, looking down at DarkSlaya. An aura of ice surrounded him, swilring faster than ever. Lightning struck from a pitch black cloud in the sky that covered the entire arena, hitting a block of ice, causing a small explosion, and eerily illuminating the pissed-off Agent's sunglasses. For a split-second, Blue's icy stare was visible through the dark lenses.

Blue: "Do. Not. Mock. Me."

DarkSlaya: This is.....rather unexpected.

DarkSlaya had heard that Blue was a person who was perfectly capable of controling his anger. He mopcked Blue only to see if the rumors were true.

DarkSlaya: I guess I was mistaken..... Nobody is capable of fully controlling his anger.....
Ugh...

DarkSlaya got on one knee. Stopping Blue's attack weakened him, to say the least... He could only stand on a platform, looking at Blue as his anger was slowly taking the best of him.

DarkSlaya: Now, now.... Who do you think you're going to defeat with your anger? Yourself, maybe?

DarkSlaya was obviously trying to reason Blue. He didn't want to fight someone blinded by anger.

Red: "This has to stop. This has to stop!"

The Agent had gotten to his feet, as the lightning struck and the ice stormed. Blue had gone way too far. That much was clearly evident in his rage.

Red remembered the last time Blue got truly angry... That was definitely why he wasn't the leader. Blue normally had excellent control, but there's always a disorder within the control. It was unhealthy, it was always unhealthy. Though Blue was certainly able to keep him and Green in line, Red was the leader for a damn good reason...

Red stood up straight, and pushed his sunglasses up his nose. Another flash of lightning revealed his own eyes, just for a moment. Janus got up, and looked at Red, who stood tall, strong, and ready. Red was completely calm, and exhaled slowly, as heat began radiating from his body. Suddenly, his gaze steeled, and he locked his eyes on Blue, who continued expressing extreme anger high atop his platform.


Janus: "Evan, what're you..."

Red: "Janus, stop. I know what I'm doing."

Janus quieted down. Red truly knew what was going on in Blue's head right now, more than anyone else. He turned towards the raging Agent, walked up to the window from which the battle could be seen, and curled his hand into a fist, punching the glass and shattering it almost completely. Not a scratch appeared on his fist, hardened by constant physical training. He stepped onto the sill of the window and, in a feat of superhuman ability, sprung onto one of the platforms. It began to melt under the intense heat of Red's flaming aura, but no matter, for Red jumped again to the platform Blue was standing on.

Red: "Blue. Stop."

Red spoke in a commanding tone, one that Janus had never heard before. He spoke with authority, and the strength that could lead 1000 men across 1000 battlefields. Red was indeed a leader, and almost instantly upon hearing his voice, Blue's storm began to quiet down, despite the man's anger still being evident.

Blue: "Why should I stop, Evan? Why? I want to show you that I am not nearly as weak as you think I am..."

Red: "Because this isn't strength, Blue. What you're doing right now is true weakness. What you're saying, why you're fighting the way you are, and why you are not thinking, all of these are weaknesses. And you need to remember, I've never once said you were weak, Blue. I've always considered you my equal. In many ways you're far stronger than me. In just as many you're not even close to my level. One of the reasons why you feel like you need to keep your emotions controlled and your anger bottled up is because you're mistaken about how I feel about you."

Red clapped his hand on Blue's shoulder, and at this gesture the storm completely stopped, and the sun shined down upon the arena once again. Blue was dumbfounded, as his platform floated gently to the ground. Red closed his eyes, and released enough heat into the sheet of ice that covered the sand to melt and evaporate it completely. The arena was a sandy desert once again. At this, Red turned toward DarkSlaya, and the sun gleamed down on a dyed crop of red hair, which, along with nearly every grain of sand in the area, glimmered in the desert's light.

Red: "DarkSlaya, was it? You've been putting up an excellent fight against Blue. I'd like to extend my congratulations to you personally for lasting this long without being reduced to a block of ice. That said, I'm wondering, really, if Blue's still in any condition to fight. He seems so, as well as you, so I am giving you the option of continuing this battle. If not, we will formally retreat from the field. If you wish to continue fighting him, then by all means, say so."

Red turned and walked past Blue, nodding to him and springing high into the air, back into the box where he, Janus, Green, and Grey were spectating. When he got back inside, landing neatly on the tiles of the room, Janus looked over to him with an impressed glance.

Janus: "You're a good man, Evan."

Red: "So's he."

[OOC]Wait, so I can actually conclude this battle? Then I have the perfect way. [/OOC]

DarkSlaya: I will accept your offer, Red. This battle had gone too far. I believe that both Blue and I fought to our best. This is way I'm ready to walk out and let this as it is.

DarkSlaya then slowly walked out of the arena. He was injured, not seriously, but still injured.


[OOC]While short, I must say good fight, Grey.[/OOC]

Blue said nothing... He only stared at the ground, ashamed of his conduct and his loss of control. His body was badly bruised, his pride was badly wounded, and his mind was nearly shattered from the events of the day.

Blue: "I... I am not strong enough. Forgive me, DarkSlaya. My attitude in this battle was not that of a decent person."

He did not say anything else, but instead turned his back on the battle, and exited the arena, heading slowly up the stairways to the rooms provided for the rest and relaxation of the fighters. He sat down on his designated bed and began to meditate.

After about an hour, there was a knock on the door.


Blue: "You can come in, Evan."

Red entered the room, walked up to the meditating Agent, squatted down so that he was on level with his friend, and took off his sunglasses.

Red: "You're perceptive. Much moreso than me."

Blue did not move. Keeping his body still, he responded.

Blue: "I lack control. It is still a trait I need to learn."

Red: "No, John, you don't. You've got more control than anyone I know, and I know a lot of people. Sometimes, it just wells up in you and you have to release it."

Blue: "........Do you think I am weak, Evan?"

At this, Red laughed out loud, and extended his hand to push the cross-legged Blue to the ground.

Red: "You'll never beat me in a fight, that's for sure. But that doesn't make you weak at all! Far from it, actually."

Red got up, walked to the door, and left Blue's room. Before he did, however, he had one final statement to make...

"Come on, and relax. You did good today. Now get up and watch the next battle. I think it's Green's turn."

Blue's eyes opened, and he stared, puzzled, at Red, as he got to his feet.

Blue: "Do you know why Janus is not fighting?"

Red: "Beats me. Maybe he's waiting for the right opportunity."

Blue: "I see..."

The two men walked together to the lookout post for the next battle...

Schwa is waiting for Red and Blue by the tournament board.

"Hi, Blue. You amaze me. I tried reading your thoughts during your battle, but every time I tried there was some kind of energy feedback that damaged me... Anger can be pretty strong. But about my judging descision...

"You may have lost the battle, but you didn't lose my vote. Strange, I know, but I'll tell you why. You fought with the HARDEST circumstances anyone could ever have... rage. I've so been there, friend. Janus has seen it, Dracoon has heard of it. Watch." Schwa projects a mental picture to Blue of images of Schwa's battles of when he was enraged... During those fights, Schwa was engulfed in real flame, and his attacks were epic. The images subside, and Schwa speaks again. "You and I have something in common, man. We are both very focused most of the time, but like Red said, those dark feelings are bundled up and there's a random chance of a "meltdown", as I call it. I can relate to this, and I could see your emotional hurt, even without the mind-reading ability.

"You and DarkSlaya were both evenly matched in every way, but you fought with harder circumstances by far. So my vote rests with you, Blue. I want you to learn from this experience, and the images I gave you, as a reminder to learn to deal with the inner emotions before they overflow out of the "calm tank". And lastly... learn a better way to use that Oracle contraption. Tell Green I said that." He smirks. "Goodbye."

And with that, he turns, wavers and disappears.

Sitting next to Schwa at the judges' table was Zap slouching in his chair and deep in his notes, studying them thoroughly. He glanced up to take a final look at Grey and his opponent, DarkSlaya. He motioned them to wait a few more seconds for his final decision while he gathered his thoughts. Finally, after going over the last few pages of his notepad, Zap rubbed a bit of sand from his eyes and adjusted his glasses. He then straightened himself up in his seat and sighed.

Zap: First of all, nicely done both of you. You've given me one of the best battles I've seen in a while. DarkSlaya ... I'll comment on you first.

Your performance in this battle was
