Axorn unsheathed his sword, glinting in the light of the sun, and faced the man that was to be his opponent.
"I hope you will be a worthy, honorable adversary and that you don't hold back." Axorn said, a determined look on his stern face. "I want to have a good, honorable battle, and I hope you feel the same way."
Axorn gazed at the uneven dirt battlefield in front of him. There was a huge, gaping fissure down the center, jagged and crumbling. Axorn also remarked that behind either of them there was a large rack filled with all sorts of medieval weaponry. Swords, axes, bows, crossbows, maces, daggers, they were all present. There were also many stone obstacles that dotted the field, allowing for various stealth and cover tactics. The stands engraved into the large stone walls of the Colosseum were packed with cheering onlookers that came for the thrill of the battle. I guess that's one reason why I'm here, Axorn thought. the other reason is to win! Axorn planted his sword firmly into the ground and eyed his opponent once more. The man was middle-aged and seemed to be quite confident.
"Now," Axorn began, readying himself. "let's begin!"
Axorn fired his gunblade, the resounding recoil shooting him straight up into the air, much to the amazement of the crowd, and spread his wings, allowing him to hover there. Axorn was just about to swoop in for an attack when his opponent made a series of hand gestures and there was a loud uproar in the crowd. The next thing Axorn knew, something had slammed into his back, and then promptly exploded, launching him forward and sending shocks of pain through his upper back. Axorn lost control for a moment and began to dive towards the ground, just as he regained control, a flaming skull came shooting out of the ground towards him. Axorn attempted to swerve out of the way but the edge of it caught his waist. It then exploded, catapulting him into a roll towards the precarious fissure.
Axorn stopped himself just in time with his arm, but he promptly fell over, due to the stress his body had endured. This is going to be really tough, he thought, using his wings to push himself back in the air. but this is EXACTLY what I came here for. I wanted a challenge, Omni has presented it to me. Time to prove my strength. Axorn steadied himself and began firing off shots, most of which missing. One of the shots managed to graze the man's shoulder, but Axorn had used up half of his ammo reserves. This isn't working, I need to get closer. Axorn swooped once more and another skull erupted underneath him. Axorn tucked his wings together and corkscrewed out of the way just in time to have the skull whiz past him. Axorn turned and faced his adversary and fired once more now that he was closer, the shot slammed straight into the competitor's arm. In response, he shot a flaming skull from his hand straight towards Axorn's face. Axorn tucked and dove, causing the skull to just barely clear him. There was some screaming and yelling as the skull exploded in the stands. Axorn landed and dashed straight in, slicing towards the man with his sword. Axorn's adversary blocked the attack with blades that seem to have shot straight out of his wrists. Axorn backed off and swung again. Again, he was blocked by the arm-blades. How is this guy so strong? I can barely land a single attack on him. Axorn thought, struggling against the man's strength. If I'm going to win this I'll need to fight smart and exploit any weaknesses I find.
Axorn shot a torrent of flame directly at the competitor, causing the sudden heat and light to make him back off before promptly shooting yet another flaming skull out of his fist, heading on a crash course straight for Axorn's face. Axorn tried to get out of the way, but wasn't fast enough. The skull exploded upon impact with his chest sending him flying into the side wall. Axorn was able to slow his velocity with his wings, making the impact nothing more than a slight bump, but he hurt all over, causing him to be leaning forwards. Axorn ducked behind one of the walls and used it as cover. Axorn sat down and concentrated, meanwhile, the crystal in his adversary's shoulder prepared to explode dramatically.
