Individual: Round 1 - Match 5: Kassato v Magus

[HisLordship]

*A frigid wind whips along the glacial surface. Slippery and unyielding as glass, the icy arena's cruelly reflective surface bears only cold forms frosty sculpture, with the form of the Owl judge the only distinguishable feature.*

"Ladies and Gentlemen! The Fifth Indidvidual Match of the Roleplay Olympics is about to begin! Make ready for the competition!"

*The crowd cheers exstatically*

"To my far right lies a stealer of strength and bodies, a necromancer and scholar whose powers have made him a feared foe to fight against! I present Magus Magus!"

*The crowd bellows "Jubilation!"*

"And to my left lies a man whose past is shrouded in mystery. Weilder of the Twilight Crucifix and chosen as one of the Infinity Eight by his god, I present to you the Terror of Death, Kassato !"

*The Crowd parrots their aforementioned cry*

"This glacier has been here thousands of years, and has been bitterly cold momument of nature. Now, on its vast and unmeasured surface, one of you two competitors shall make it into the marble into which you carve your futures! Let the contest begin!"

*The crowd rabidly screams. The game has begun.*


Individual: Round 1 - Match 5: Forte in Kassato v Magus Magus

[Guest]

Ice. Ice could be of benefit to me.

*Magus pushes himself forward and finds that due to the slippery surface, he is at least three times faster as he squelches his way across the arena. He flattens himself somewhat and attempts to make himself even more streamlined as he slides across the ice towards his opponent. He then shouts to his opponent*

I admit I currently know little of your abilities, but if you possess any type of fire magic or skills, I suggest you refrain from using them for the time being. Melting this ice could cause us both to drown!

*And with that, Magus reaches the opposite side of the arena and uses his current velocity to propell himself towards Kassato's face*

[SesshoX8]

*the Black Knight that is Kassato used the ice to propell himself away from Magus' strike by using his Twilight Crucifix as a skipole and skid around the arena, where he thought to himself*

That gelatinous blob doesn't freeze? The hell?! Damn it...I hate this Ice...It's time to "warm" things up.

*Kassato throws the Twilight Crucifix up and jumps up after it, and a azure fire surround him as he grabs the spinning Crucifix and screams...*

MOON! SHINE DOWN!

*Kassato lands on the ground and releases a great burst of energy, cracking the ice with a cold fire, and the moon appears in the arena, the energy waves reform reaches the walls of the arena and jumps up into the air, as they do, they change their trajectory towards Magusmagus...*

[Guest]

*The heated energy blasts circle round and begin to head towards Magus*

~Hmm this is just too perfect. I guess that my suggestion only fuelled the fires within him, believing me to be at disadvantage in the water. If only he'd witnessed the events in the sewers of forumopolis~

*Magus, upon seeing the incoming blasts, quickly spread himself thinly across the floor. To an onlooker this would appear as though someone had spilt some variety of green bleach across the ice. Spread as far as he could, Magus hoped the surface area would help him to survive the attack. This strategy was going to be exceedingly risky, but if he could pull it off, Magus would be at a great advantage.

The flames scorched the slime under extremely hot temperatures. He could feel the heat lapping over him like a flame tongued lizard in a heatwave, and it was more painful than he had anticipated. In his desperation, Magus attempted to absorb the cool temperature from the ice into his body in an attempt to combat the searing assault. He could almost feel the slime on his back bubbling as it reached boiling point.

Finally he felt the ice below him begin to slip as it melted away. Soon he would be submerged in the sub zero waters, a relative relief from where he was now. The ice gave way, and Magus plopped into the water, cooling his body all over. Any longer and he may have passed out, but for now, he was safe from view underneath the icy arena.*

~Soon, I shall get my chance~

[SesshoX8]

I have you now!

*Kassato quickly throws his Crucifix into the water...*

Hyo Sousou! (Ice Coffin!)

*the Crucifix generates waves ice energy that both, sinks to the bottom of the body of water to the floor and that floats to the top of the water, and creates ice from both the top and the bottom, resulting in trapping and killing the thing in the center of the ice coffin, hence it's very name, the water now freezes at an extreme rate and can literally form a coffin of ice in a matter of seconds...*

-Let's see you get out of that one, Magus Magus...-

[Guest]

*Magus noticed the crucifix fall into the water, and suddenly the temperature took a drastic plunge into the minus numbers*

~He's attempting to freeze the water!~

*Magus begins to dissipate amongst the water, and each tiny particle of himself shot upwards towards the newly forming ice on the surface of the lake. This was a technique he used to travel at high speeds in the water. Using this speed, he formed himself into a whole again at the very last second, making himself into a larger object, that was now travelling rapidly towards the ice

A loud smash was heard as the blob literally catapulted his form out of the icy depths beneath Kassato's feet. Ice and water flew about in every direction, as well as a formless blob of jelly which firmly latched itself to both of Kassato's legs and began to slowly ooze up past his knees. Eyes began to emerge as the blob took shape, and Magus stared up at his opponent as he crept up his leg*

Such a clever opponent, I anticpate your absorption with great excitement. Please do not struggle too much, lest you ruin the delightful taste.

[SesshoX8]

*Kassato is now in danger, he realizes it too, being pummeled by ice and water, his movement was dramatically hindered and with Magus Magus on him, it doesn't help one bit*

Magus...damn you, you wretched blob!

*The black armor has one indestructible feature, however, it's mantle, Kassato wraps the mantle around himself and goes as far as to dive into Magus, after using the Crucifix as a pole and propelling himself into the air

Inside Magus, the absorption process is horrifically slow, the acid melted away most of the black armor's surface, but Kassato has a plan...he creates six walls of ice crystals and at the center, it seems to be a warped surface indicating...a lens? A prison of ice crystal lenses?

Kassato, using all his might, rips an opening in the formless gelatinous blob somehow, and freezes some of it so he can yank himself out in a split second, being freed, he floats in the prison and bellows a great order...*

SUN, SHINE DOWN!

*the moon falls and a great scorching sun appears in it's place in mere seconds, the light and heat from the sun scorches the prison, the heat becoming more unbearable compared to the fire that scorched Magus, and temperatures are rising up quite fast, in fact, very very fast, in the prison...*

This ends now, Magus!

*blood trickles down his face, but he felt no need to strip himself of armor, despite the coating of his ebon armor, his armor has a very interesting mechanism that repelled heat, more like excessive heat, transfered into magical energy, with Kassato being charged faster than a solar battery, not that he need the excess energy, however, he uses it for an even more ingenious effect...*

Reflect Armor!

*the ice is now laminated from the heat by dispersing energy particles around the prison, making each and every bit of the prison as hot as the others...*

There is no escape, Magus. You will fall here!

[Guest]

"There is no escape, Magus. You will fall here!"

*As Kassato spoke, he left a noticable escape route wide open for Magus. As the well publicised saying goes "head for the eye of the storm". But where was the eye? Kassato himself!

The gelatenous blob decides his only hope of freedom is through Kassato. The top half of Magus caved in slightly as he sucked part of his body inside himself and held onto it tightly until it was taught enough. Releasing it, he creates an elastic band effect in which the top half of his body springs back, only with extra force that sends it flying towards Kassato's head.

Luminescent ooze splatters itself all over Kassato's face, primarily inside his open mouth and started to move towards the back of his throat. Magus was entering his body and soon Kassato began to hear the inner thoughts of his opponent, all jumbled up and garbled. A brief history flew past his eyes and he felt the anguish of Magus's creation and the reveleation ((Read my character profile for more info))

All of a sudden, a sharp, clear voice shot through Kassato's brain, and repeated itself over and over with increased urgency*

~Disband The Prison~

~Disband The Prison~

~Disband The Prison~

((Magus is attempting to influence Kassato from the inside. I am sorry if you consider my hitting you in the face with myself as a powerplay, but that part was not really my attack, and I am letting you decide if Magus influences your mind or not. Also, may I inquire as to how you got your Crucifix back? You did drop it in the water and never made mention of retrieving it.))

*Meanwhile the other half of Magus couldn't stand the obliterating, relentless heat. It had been bubbling and churning away, and eventually just vapourised into nothing. Magus would now be half his original size from now on*

[SesshoX8]

[Guest]

~A disguise I see, no matter. I must admit, I am finding my stay here rather comfortable~

*Magus sees a small opportunity to annoy Forte*

~Oh dear, you are certainly not the greatest of housekeepers, I have made note of how many cobwebs are lurking within your head and I shall hire the greatest cleaning crew in the morning. I also expected this place to be a little better furnished, at present it is little more than an empty head~

*Although he was enjoying this gentle mockery, Magus decided that now was the time to use this advantage and issue his ultimatum*

~I am already deeply rooted here, you might as well just surrender your body over to me. Give up, or face being absorbed from the inside, it's your choice, but I guarentee the latter option will be considerably more excrutiating.~

[SesshoX8]

~Who the hell are you...to stay in my HEAD?!~

*mentally, Kassato revealed his true identity as the God of Destruction, but his physical disguise remained the same...*

~Get out!~

*the command is probably way too powerful for Magus to ignore, as the command inspires the deepest of fears to emerge, the mental power of the only Diclonius alive is too great for an extremely large majority of people to control...*

[Guest]

~As you wish~

*His host appeared to be attempting to influence Magus' departure by projecting frightening images towards him. Due to his short life span thus far, he had encountered very few beings or events which frightened him.

The scariest items he knew of were creatures out of books and stories, and even then, being an educated being, he understood that most of them were either mythical, or misunderstood. Others, he simply believed that he would not run into them during the course of his lifetime, or figured that he would just absorb them anyway should they ever cross paths. So, the gelantenous blob knew little of the concept of fear, and was unphased by these illusions. He simply shrugged them off and continued to carry out his threat.

Since Forte was not willing to simply release control of his body, Magus would take the body away from him forcefully. He decided that it'd be easier to give up on the mind control option and simply just destroy his opponent.

Magus particles filtered out of Forte's head and used his bloodstream as fast transportation. In no time he was literally surfing through his circulatory system deciding upon the best point of attack. Somewhere central would be best, but the stomach would be much too acidic for Magus to survive for long. He decided his best choice would be to go for his lungs.

Redirecting himself, Magus gathered all of his cells into the left lung of Forte and began to reform into his usual sticky, mucus like state. Clinging onto every surface he could, Magus began to pull the sides of the lung inwards, on top of himself.

~I told you I would absorb you from the inside~ He thought to himself as he tugged harder, trying to collapse the organ*
