[Round 2] Zedd & Violet vs Cerise & Gildarts

[Karl Jak]

Face to Face
#19 Cerise & #34 Gildarts vs #5 Lord Zedd & #37 Violet

The fighting had degraded.

Gone was the laser show.  The elegant dagger-play.

The insults had even fallen to the wayside.

All that remained was two overpowered gestalts punching and kicking at one another as the tumbled down the stone stands.  The snake-mage and the whatever-the-fuck-the-other-thing-would-be-called lashed out viciously, with little regard for poise or pressure points.  Like caged animals, they came crashing down to the grass, and a boot from Zevi sent the other fusion rolling a few feet away.

Once on their feet, the pair came back in for another exchange.  This time, it was the snake-mage that found the opening and landed a vicious one-two strike combination.  As the monstrous fusion staggered, an uppercut sent it sailing back up into the stone stands, where it crashed through two rows of bleachers.

Jumping up, Ceridarts clenched and unclenched her fists as she moved in to finish her adversary.  She swung down with a pair of laced hands, landing what should have been a crunching blow on her opponent’s sternum.

Instead, of all things, the punch left the gestalt’s hands with a tingling sensation.

“What?” Ceridarts muttered as she noticed the bleachers on both sides of the fallen fusion jiggling against their struts.  The other fusion’s arms were missing, half sunken into the stone.

“Nighty night,” Zevi muttered as she lurched up off the ground and swung her arms inward.  As the grounded fusion lurched up, the two rows of seats came with her—fused into her limbs.  With a thunderous crunch, the stone seats sandwiched Ceridart’s skull between them.

The snake-mage, her eyes out of focus, held up her fists.

“I said… good night!”

A second bleacher-infused assault sent the other fusion toppling backwards into a motionless heap.

Seeing the swirl of lights around her body, Zevi grinned.

“All sha—”

The fusion vanished.

Back in the preshow facility, Zedd and Violet rematerialized separately of one another.  The woman was smiling at a victorious battle while her partner fumed.
