Ark vs. Deleterious Round 1: The Grassy Plains
Ark's tunic wavered in the air. He was going through a grassy plain; the wind rippled through the high grass which was at Ark's waist. In his right arm was his sword that ran up and down his whole length plus 2 inches. He wielded the sword and used it to like a blind person's walking stick as to not trip over anything. His black gauntlet on his left arm glowed with power. The sun shined brightly on him, as he stopped in mid stride. Something was coming. Ark stood still and began to infuse power into his gauntlet.
The wind started to blow more heavily.
Deleterious walked through the area, sandy ripples of cloak focused by the wind rippled throughout the whole mans length; the cloak covered his head to his toes, and concealed all but half of his forearms and his hands. There was almost nothing out of the ordinary about this cloak, all that differed was that there were two crimson crosses; one at each pectoral, an ebony lace surrounded each one, both under laid an equal distance apart. In t
In the center of these two crosses were two...Underlying necklaces? No, this was not all, there were ancient runes, each carving came together to reveal two polished crosses, both coming to where the collar would have been. Electric blue eyes scanned the horizons with a dull shimmer in each of the dual captives "Nice day for a picnic...” Was all the emotionless man uttered, sandy gold locks of hair swung perilously in the wind.
He needed to fight. In the dense sunlight, a dull blue misty substance appeared to take his outline, a decaying stick, green with moss swung dangerously at his side as he stopped abruptly, staring at the man before him. “Come. Show me this...power.
Ark moved his left foot a step back. His gauntlet was glowing yellow, and the energy filled up his hand. The sun showed brightly. "You want to see my power?" Ark's hand began to shake. "I'll be glad to show you! Negative Zero: Solar Burst!" Ark thrust his arm forward, and an intense ball of light went forward. Its power came from the sun. It drowned everything in a blinding bright light. Ark rushed in forward. He was able to see through the stun attack.
Ark reached his target. He jumped up into the air, and came down with a quick slash attack, as his opponent was subdued by the solar flash. Ark rushed in forward. He was able to see through the stun attack. Ark reached his target. He jumped up into the air, and came down with a quick slash attack, as his opponent was subdued by the solar flash.
Deleterious sighed, the foe just did not get it, and the silhouette of the blue haze came around him like a mighty fog, having a 5 foot radius in all directions. The light fog, was only mere disturbances, caused in the 7th spiritual plain, only those who where fortunate enough to see into that division, would know what would come next. At that moment, the grass around him flattened, he man stood up fully, and reached out with his right hand, his to disintegrate the man's ball of energy, slowly malforming it into his own spiritual energy, causing the brightness to subdue as the whole blast of flames went out as he absorbed it's essence, but this was not all, oh no the man seemed to also gain energy from absorbing the blast, leading his hand to vanish into a burst of speed, to grab the rod at his side. Bringing it into the air, he crushed the insignificant branch.
"Mince...Soul" He said with dulled eyes, amethyst eyes scanned the area around him as millions of tiny swords where brought around his form, pulses of energy with a malice within consumed the hand that now enclosed around an unknown object. At that moment, he circled the area twice, bringing fourth a metashi rod, acting as if a magnet, the huge mass of swords clamped onto the rod in a corkscrew formation, making it look as if a nail, rugged turns biased it's very era of existence. "Stay still for a moment" He spoke as he unleashed from the plan, for his gravity to be altered, causing him to move at speeds unknown to man, behind the foe, his sword brought to his side he released it from his hand, purging it forward with speeds equal to that of the speed of light, the nail like object making it's resolve as it would make it's way towards its target.
Ark came down on his adversary, but he vanished. The sudden disappearance revved up his gauntlet. Ark began to react. Everything seemed to move slowly. In one second he saw swords appear all around. In a second Ark set his eyes on them, as he turned around in mid air. His eyes trailing on the swords, he seen them clamp on to a metallic rod held by his opponent. At that time he moved his sword up to his chest. The next second, the attack came forward. This happened in less than 4 seconds...
"Don't freakin' screw with me! Negative Zero: Arch gale!" The wind encircled Ark and Deleterious. It began rushing around them. The wind drew into Ark's hand. Suddenly, the wind came rushing out; it hit Deleterious at point blank, and gave Ark a boost to distance him from his opponent. It hit Deleterious at point blank, and gave Ark a boost to distance himself from his opponent. Ark spun around in mid air and landed on his feet, sliding a couple of feet before reaching a halt. The air was still blowing lightly. Ark was kneeling down. One knee was on the ground. He dug into the earth with his left hand. The gauntlet began to light up.
Deleterious sighed briefly as he grabbed onto the putrid black aura, it's essence was unbelievably strong, as the man grabbed the aura, he pulled it, causing the huge rod to come rushing back to it's user the foe still going flying from the velocity he attacked the opposition with. Instead of catching it he allowed the rod to slam into the wind energy, busting through it, and causing a torrent of wind... to come with the second strike.
Reattaching his hand, he grappled at the shadow aura causing the blade to go faster than before; a loud calamite boom was heard from the depths of the destructive force. The torrents of wind seemed to ail the progress of the rod; swords that attached themselves to it fell off at the end of the nail, assaulting him from the back, as well as the constant battery from the sword at his vertical front, the blades seemed bloodthirsty as they bore down upon his person.
Ark slid to a halt on the ground. One of his knees was on the ground. Ark's hand was dug into the dirt, and his gauntlet began to glow. He looked up and sees the barrage of swords coming at him. They covered his form. The attack caused a giant cloud of smoke, but when the smoked cleared what was shown was a horde of words stuck into a giant shell of earth. Ark looked up. He saw a barrage of swords coming for him. His gauntlet began to shine brightly. His hand was into the dirt. A giant encasing of earth surrounded him. The thick shell was 4 ft thick. Inside the armor was a 3 ft radius of space for Ark to take cover in. "Whoa. He almost got me. Well, since I already set it up, I best as well roll with it." Just then, the giant shell begins to rumble. It began to sink into the earth, going underground and taking everything with it. The swords, Ark, and the shell itself, sunk underground. The opening where the shell sunk through was filled back up. Ark disappeared, but he still wasn't out of the fight....
Deleterious stood his ground. As he waited for his enemy to show back up, he began to focus his energy for a counterattack. Ark disappeared into the underground. Everything above went silent. Suddenly a deep rumbling sound could be heard. The ground started shaking violently. Then it stopped. Suddenly a pillar of earth burst out of the ground in front of Deleterious. Two seconds later an object popped out of the ground into the air. It came back down quickly and was stuck in the ground. That item was none other than Deleterious's own sword. It landed 2 inches from his left side. The rumbling became worse until it turned into a full earthquake. The ground burst open with millions of Deleterious's swords coming out of the ground. Not only was this happening, as giant earthen pillars sprang from the ground. One pillar was raised right under Deleterious. As he went up, the swords came raining down. It was a shower of metashi steel coming down over Deleterious's head. One rule of engagement: never drop your weapon or hand it over to the enemy.
Deleterious sighed "This will be the end of the chow...” He announced in a terribly cold voice, everything seemed to stop, but that was only what it seemed to him, it was not what actually occurred. His pupils rose, and for the first time, he chose to unleash his real power, grabbing at his left eye, his sclera went deep ebony, his pupil and optic went a crimson red, the inside seemed to be enveloped in mist, his right eye went a deep black pup
Thoughts emerged into his brain, spreading like a virus. Thoughts, warm and peaceful, then he discovered something. Was it an old emotion? No, it seemed to be the opposite, it seemed to be the very contradicting factor that underlie Azumas emotion, for a clone does not own an eternal solitude, the thoughts in his brains where simply remorse. At that moment, a figure seemed to engulf the empty mater beside him; standing upright he was equally t
[22:29] <Vincent> him, standing upright he was equally tall to Deleterious, but all the male wore was a black hakama, and stone made metashi gauntlets. The gauntlets outstretched his whole forearm, below that was an all-consuming void. "Akuma.. Remorse form!" He yelled, infusing the atoms of the dead bodies left over soul particles into his own form. Now an outline of what Akuma wore was spiritual coating what he wore, gauntlets lay on his forearms, and a void exposed itself, eating anything that was close to it. Grabbing a sword in mid air, the void devoured it; his hands now began to move quicker as they consumed the energy within the matter. Akuma grinned darkly, moving at speeds almost useable to grab the man's outline with his hand, to rip the essence from the male, so there would be nothing more of the man but a shell.
As Deleterious was pulling all of the swords, Ark was 20 ft underground, directly below his target. Ark was on his back. His bracelet was spinning around at unimaginable speeds. The energy generated by the bracelet was channeled through his Zenkishi and engulfed it whole; the sword was full of volatile energy. Ark pointed his sword up at a 90 degree angle. His gauntlet shimmered with light and energy. It was pumping hard. He placed his right hand on the hilt of the sword. The sword hit a spike of power. The sword was sparking uncontrollably now. If he didn't unleash the power now, Ark could experience a backfire. "This is all or nothing", he said to himself. Ark thrust the sword upward. "Elemental Zen: Lightning Strike!"
At top the earth started to rumble again, and the pillars began to shake. The ground started to rise, but then it gave way; it not being able to hold it in anymore. Just like a volcano, it exploded with mighty force. The ground shattered. Rocky debris shot out as fragmentation, and the great explosion shot out with lightning. The pillars above began to crumble and topple over. Along with the lightning was fire. The lightning caused the fire to light the grassy plain and set everything ablaze. This attack was truly devastating. The fire, lightning, the rocky fragmentation, and explosive force went up to engulf Deleterious as he fell down out of the sky. Not all the swords were absorbed. A few hundred was still left, and, as that was happening, Ark escaped the explosion and went to the distant tree-line, as everything began to burn.
Deleterious just glanced at the incoming attacks, with enough time to react, he depressurized the gravitational pull, causing the rocky fragmentation to change it's direct path, all velocity gone, he yawned effortlessly as the lightning, and the flames would begin to be converted, the trails of energy giving bulk, but not being fully consumed in the field. At the time the energies attacked him from two vocal points, he pulled both of his hands up, his hands now a void hence the Kihakugan. At that moment, a sensual feeling traveled down his spine, a bit of remembrance of Azumas past flooded in, causing him to remember what would happen. "G-goodbye...” He spoke, raising his hands as the void seemed to vomit a raw blast of focused energy, the energy being above the temperature of molten magma, and was huge, and had a radius of 44 feet because of the drastic energy improvise
Because of the drastic energy improvised. As the energy left his system, he moved at light speeds above the huge blast, still making it's way as it would hopefully disintegrate the foe, but to prevent the foe from escaping, he raised his hand, a blue spectrum of energy provoking around his form, killing off the organisms that underlay the ecosystem, the ring of light was bigger than the blast itself, and seemed to engulf everything in its mighty wrath. Then, everything seemed to slow down, the oxygen seemed too frail to hold human breathing anymore, a packaged amount of energy encircled the massive circular, but this even seemed small as the energy erupted, soul energy being shiningly delicate as it made it's way, slashing and wrecking havoc on the crust that is shot through, crunching, killing, it seemed bloodthirsty, and to quench it's thirst was going to destroy this insignificant human, scattered souls collected the remains as they exploded right beside the man, each meeting their doom as the atmosphere turned into a void next to the man, if all worked well, Ark would be dead.
Ark ran through the tree-line as he left the field of destruction he had done, but something was wrong. After 70ft, he noticed something change. He heard a voice echo through the air. "G-goodbye", it said in a dark voice. As Ark ran, he looked back and seen a dark void form in the sky. "This isn't good", he said to himself, as he felt the temperature increase. The whole entire woods seem to shake in fear of what is coming. Ark knew all too well of what is about to take place. Just like what Ark did, Deleterious is going to make an explosion of his own, but Ark knows for sure it isn't going to be a little pop. Too much energy was in it. As this began to happen, Ark started to remember his past into his childhood. "Ark", a man said, "remember, boy, never to take this off."
"But dad", Ark responded, "it is so heavy. Are you sure I can't?"
"Yes Ark I'm sure. You are never to take it off. You need it and the gauntlet on to keep your secret hidden and in check."
"Yes father."
"Good boy. Now you may take it off only if you have no other choice. If it means life and death, the life of another or the life of all, then and only then may you take it off. Got that?"
"Yes sir."
"That's my boy".
Ark began to rip off his cape and began unlatching his tunic. "Well dad, I think this is one of those situations." Ark moved quickly. He undone the body armor, and then a sudden spark flew. Energy immediately began to flow. Just then, the first explosion hit. He was 45ft away from the blast radius, but he could still feel the shock wave. He snatched at his bracelet and threw it on the ground. As he tore off his gauntlet, a great power emerged, and covered Ark, as the second explosion came and engulf his figure. But…it did not destroy him. Ark turned into his true form. His human guise was thrown away. Now his true power may come out and be unleashed.
