[Artemis]

“Are you sure that you want to walk out there, Artemis? That guy looks pretty tough from the looks of it.” asked a satyr that stood on top of a bench and eyed her as if he wasn’t sure if the dark keybearer was “hero” material or even a warrior. The cloaked woman sighed in exasperation as she recognized that look that he gave her. It must’ve been because she was a female, a woman. She gave him icy eyes before answering, “I can handle him. I’ve actually fought worse…Also; don’t underestimate a woman because they can overpower a man.” Phil gave her a look and raised a brow at the statement as ‘Artemis’ pulled her hood up to cover her facial features. Her opponent didn’t need to see her true self just yet. She was going to save that card for later if Gabriel proved himself to be a truly worthy opponent.

“And stepping out of the deepest darkness itself is the Nightmare that will forever haunt one’s dreams. Give it up for “Artemis!”’

As the cloaked keybearer walked out toward the arena, the woman stared hard at her opponent. He didn’t appear to be quite normal in her opinion, but her Heart already memorized the rules of survival and the battlefield. One of those rules included the notion of never letting down your guard and another rule was to never underestimate your opponent even despite their appearance. The Nightmare raised her right hand upward to summon her chosen weapon, The Heartsickness keyblade, to her grip and points the spiky, poisonous keyblade at the man. “I certainly hope that you’ll pose a challenge for me…So please, don’t underestimate me?” asked the Nightmare with a sickly sweet tone of voice like that of a child asking for her favorite piece of candy or a scoop of ice cream.

Because that may be the last mistake that will prove itself fatal.[/i] mused Selena as darkess suddenly began to surrounded the tip of her keyblade then fired the single blast of darkness known as Void Extinction at the man called Gabriel and ruining her passive Sweet Suppression. The recoil from the blast causes her to slide back and she dug the heels of her boots into the ground as the dust began to kick up. Although suppressing her power to avoid detection in a tournament seemed to be unnecessary, Selena still found the ability to be useful in terms of the element of surprise. Let’s see how well you do with this.[/i] mused the Nightmare with mild curiosity.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Void Extinction: A powerful blast of Darkness shoots from either her keyblade or her hand at the intended target. It may be used normally and in her Dark Form. It can also be used in battle and outside of battle. [Cooldown: 2 Posts] DMG: Medium

Sweet Suppression: Selena can literally suppress her the power, making it as if she was normal, of her own Heart to make it undetectable to even those who were gifted. It was how she remained hidden for years. However once she releases any of her power in battle or by Corridor, the jig’s basically up. [Passive until Revealed] [No Recovery in Thread Once Revealed ] [HAS BEEN REVEALED THEREFORE NO RECOVERY]

-----------------------------------------------------------

Gabriel knew not what this place was, or who these people were... He noticed the monsters, but paid no heed. He was summoned by Hades for a 'quick bout', whatever that meant. He decided that the quickest was out of here was going to be to participate, so he didn't argue. This Hades seemed to be a powerful man, as it was, and Gabriel made the smart move not the challenge the Death God's request.

He stepped forth, seeing the other figure emerge as a blast of dark energy. Interesting.

He reared back, growling as he punched forward, cancelling out this dark attack with Dark Gauntlet, holding the clawed hand out in front of him. He silently stood straight, and nodded.

"You are strong." he said, getting into stance. "Allow me to test you." he then rushed forward, rearing back and attempting a punch, ducking to the side and letting the chain release from the Combat Cross. The Chain would then whip forth, skating across the ground as it snapped towards it's target, Gabriel's eyes narrowed in determination.

No Damage

[Artemis]

Her silver eyes widened a fraction as she witnessed the heavily armored man punch through her Void Extinction[/color] with his clawed gauntlet. She stepped backward with an expression that resembled one of surprise and shock but immediately returned to her cold façade. Okay. I suppose I would need to step up my game then if he can do THAT to one of my strongest techniques without batting an eye. mused the Nightmare as she quickly readied herself for her opponent’s counter. He was physically strong, more likely stronger than her and that ‘Artemis’ could already tell just from his previous action.

This time ‘Artemis didn’t allow herself to appear to be surprised at Gabriel’s words, even though she was stunned when he claimed that she was strong. Said the one who punched through a blast of darkness. Why would I be the one needed to be tested? wondered the dark keybearer as she watched him charge at her. When the heavily armored man raised his fist at her, ‘Artemis’ raised her Heartsickness keyblade so that his fist would hopefully get impaled by one of the many thorns and poisoned by her weapon’s unique ability. Closing her eyes, she bends her knees and her right leg appeared to be kneeling slightly as the force of impact causes her heels to slide backwards several yards. She shivered as she felt the dark energy emanating from the punch. The Nightmare reopens them to find that the force of impact had also caused her own blade to be closer to herself as well. Her eyes narrowed at a particular thorn that was too close to her chest where her Heart was.

Most definitely physically strong and fellow dark warrior! Perhaps I need to match his strength with my own wit as…! Cutting off her own thoughts, the Nightmare’s icy eyes quickly darted to follow his movements, watching him duck to the side of her. She quickly attempted to thwack the man with her Heartsickness key, hoping that the attack would hit and that the poisonous thorns would Her Heart concentrated on her Darkness and quickly rose up a shield of vines, Umbra Vitis Shield, to protect herself from the chain that whipped toward her. It soon disappeared and as the chain impacted the dark shield of vines.

“This is going to be tougher than I thought…” muttered the dark keybearer as she raises her blade at Gabriel. She just remembered that it was against the rules to use summons and any type of magic that changed one’s form for advantages. ‘Artemis’ couldn’t transform into Eblis or summon her Umbra Wolf without getting disqualified from the match. It was literally just her blade and her darkness. If only I still have my wings and my Heart’s Blood magick… reminiscent ‘Artemis’ bitterly as she narrowed her eyes at her opponent, It would’ve made things much easier.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1 Normal Attack Used

2 Blocks [Umbra Vitis Shield and Keyblade]

Void Extinction: A powerful blast of Darkness shoots from either her keyblade or her hand at the intended target. It may be used normally and in her Dark Form. It can also be used in battle and outside of battle. [Cooldown: 1 Post Left] DMG: Medium

Vitis Shield: Selena can raise up many large, thorned vines of darkness to wrap around herself and/or her allies to act like a strong shield. It can be used normally and in her Dark Form. It may also be used in battle and outside of battle. [Cooldown: 1 Post]


Keyblade Ability: Beware, the keyblade is rather poisonous. Although it isn’t deadly, it will make even the strongest of Hearts falter for a short amount of time if one doesn’t have a curative spell or potion. [[Cooldown: 3 posts] ] [[Note: Doesn’t work on Nobodies and is highly effective on Heartless.]]


OOC Note: The cooldown is for the victim IF he takes the hit and/or block since I forgot to clarify during the app process and I realize it just now. The ability is passive and it’s almost 12AM here so I’ll shut up before I ramble too much. I also noticed that the damage done by statuses such as Poison weren’t applied to the current battle system but I would estimate that it’s Low DMG per post in the cooldown for the sake of the thread but that's only IF he takes the hit and/or block.
