Note from author( instead of writing that in every time I think ill just put in these ( ) for messages from me oh and leave a comment if you think I need to improve on anything I am willing to listen? read to what you have to say)
Dark: I began to head out to the field where my opponent stood thinking that he already won. Than he saw me and looked a bit surprised that I even showed up but that surprise quickly turned to anger as he thought that he could just win with his name and tittle alone. I looked to the crowd and saw that they expected it to be an easy win for Zan, they were even betting against me. As I looked around I noticed Alice looking at me and when our eyes met i felt a spark pass between us. She smiled until she saw that people were betting against me so she walked over and bet on me instead. At this i decided that my plan would need adjusting I would need to humiliate him in front of everyone and make sure that Alice won the bet.
After a few moments of waiting for the announcer Zan began to try to mock me for being a human and other stuff I didn't really hear because I was busy not listening to him. At this Zan became enraged and said that he would beat me so badly that my parents wouldn't recognize me. I laughed at this as I don't have any parents and told him he is a weakling and a fool. This made him livid and he began to tense up like he really was going to try to beat me to death.
The announcer arrived just in time to say begin as Zan caste haste which allows him to move 2 to 3 times faster than normal. He came charger at me with the intent to truly beat me to death that was when I finally noticed his weapon. It looked like a two handed mace made of ebony, it had spikes that protruded from the weapon and it seemed that the weapon held some magical property that I couldn't figure out.
But i was easily able to figure it out as he swung at me and the weapon began to glow green. It seamed that the mace was instilled with dark and nature magic allowing it to drain the opponents stamina and mana. I guess this fight will be a tiny bit more difficult than I thought.
Zan: As I began to mock the strange looking human and talking badly about his family to the crowd I looked over my shoulder to see his expression. What I saw angered me, he wasn't even listening and completely ignoring. As I began to open my mouth to say even more profanities about him and his family he told me that I was weak and a fool. I decided at that moment that I would kill him. I began to prepare a warrior skill called haste as the announcer arrived. Exactly when he said start I used the skill and came running at him with my weapon. The fool didn't even move as I got within striking distance and swung at him. I showed a smirk at I thought he was all talk and no show but than he was no longer within the reach of my weapon.

Dark: Exactly when he swung I ducked down and crouched right in front of him, sense he put a lot of strength into that hit he wasn't able to dodge as I kicked him in the stomach and launched him through the air. He came falling down a good 15feet away from me and looked a little baffled as if he had no idea that he even got hit. Everyone in the stadium was quite as if they couldn't believe what they saw. Zan began to get up and when he did he took a more cautious stance before moving in for the attack again. He came in much faster and his attacks weren't as flawed as the last in fact I would say they were sharper, stronger, and didn't waste any of his energy. As I dodged yet again I felt a bit weird when I looked at my body it seemed that his weapon had drained me of some of my stamina and mana.
It seems that when he gets serious the weapon also get a power up. The range in now letting the weapon take my energy within 3 feet of him. Hmmm this is a bit troubling I think ill end this early instead of trying to drag this out. I quickly scanned his fears and saw that he feared. I found a couple of thing but most of them are natural fears like being afraid of the dark when he was young, the fear of being rejected by everyone, and finally the fear of undead which is pretty understandable as if you are killed there is a chance to be revived as one of them unliving and unfeeling you would kill anyone even your friends and family without batting an eye. So I began to manifest all of his fears as one, a portal of darkness ripped open in front of him spewing a miasma of death and darkness. From within came an undead version of his family who began to attack him. He could easily block the dead but he couldn't strike him down as they looked exactly like his family so it was at a stale mate. Until the fear of rejection came in.
Crowd: To anyone watching from the stands this battle was an amazing feat, no one thought that Dark would stand a chance against Zan but there he was kicking Zan's ass without even trying. After they watched Zan get sent flying with a kick they thought it was over until Zan stood up and started fighting, faster, stronger, and smarter than before. The battle looked like it would end in a stale mate until they saw Zan use magic for the first time in there lives. The magic he used felt horrible and made them feel all weak and diseased. As they watched a portal formed in front of Zan where an undead version of his family cam out and began to attack him. He was able to deflect the creatures attacks but they knew he wouldn't be able to kill them as they also wouldn't be able to kill there own family if attacked. But that when Zan began to lose.

Dark: As I watched Zan began to look worn out and tired from the physical and mental blows he was taking. No one else was able to hear what Zan heard and they most definitely don't want to hear what was yelled at Zan.
Zan: Zan couldn't understand why the cities people began to talk badly about him some of them were yelling about how weak and pathetic he was. The worst blows came from his family as they said cruel things about him. This hurt him mentally and emotionally and he began to take more hits from the undead. He decided that giving up was a better option than living in this hell any longer and he began to say "I giv......
Dark: I heard Zan begin to say that he gives up but I didn't give him a chance. I upped the fear he was feeling to greater heights and he became frozen in his own fear. I than released my undead and began to walk towards him. As I got within arms reach I started to punch his body all over the place. After a few minutes of this he had 103 broken bones in his body and to make things much more painful for him I dislocated both his arms and legs leaving helpless. The announcer came out a bit fearful and called the match over, as the healers quickly ran over to heal the prince. I won Zan lost simple as that though I did get a lot of fearful looks from the people around. The only ones I noticed who weren't as afraid but still shocked at the brutality of what they saw was Alice and her party. As I walked of the field the announcer began to call in the next contestants.
I didn't really feel like watching the next matches because fighting an opponent that I didn't know the skills of seemed more fun. I won my next 29 matches without any injuries which was kinda raining om my parade like come on you would think that in the thousands of people who were here there would be stronger people. It was down to the last battle me vs someone, sense I didn't bother to check I had no idea who my opponent was. As I thought this I noticed Alice walking towards me where she stopped a few steps from me and began to say.....
Alice: (I've watched this kid dark ever sense he beat the prince and made an example of him in front of everyone I'll be surprised if the prince ever picks up a weapon again. Back to the kid hmmm I guess ill keep calling him that even though I'm only 2 years older. He doesn't seem any interested in who he fights it just seems that he want a challenge. I've also noticed that in every fight he has never tried that much its just that everyone he fights is too weak. So I have taken it upon myself to make him try and to be the first person to injure him.) As I walked in front of him I started to say "Hi I'm Alice you've probably seen some of my matches". Sense we are going to fight each other for the final battle I thought that I should come over and introduce myself before the battle and to wish you luck.
Dark: After she said that she just turned around and left without letting me give a reply. On the outside I looked calm and collected but on the inside I was thinking of how I could win without hurting her I knew I could easily do It i just didn't want to show anymore of my strength. As I tried to think of ways to get out of my dilemma the announcer came out and told us that the final fight is going to begin and that the challengers should head out to the field. With slumped shoulders I walked out and began to prepare for the fight of my life......
(Mwahahahahaha)
