The fifth round is upon us ladies and gentlemen! These next two warriors are expected to display some incredible feats! Both are strong, unique warriors with the will to win! Surely, it'll be more than a battle of strength displayed here in this fight!
@alric and Jaci are expected to be one of this tournaments highlights!
Jaci heard her name and looked a little confused for a moment or two. Oh right, they were calling on her to deal with the fight that she had signed up for. That was going to be a strange thing to do. She didn’t really care to fight whomever she was supposed to fight with. Either way she had signed up to this and so she was going to deal with it. Plus Lettuki would probably be disappointed in her if she didn’t fight now, after all her gearing up to fight, even if it wasn’t the fight she had originally wanted to take part in.
She drifted her way onto the main platform that everyone else seemed to be avoiding. It looked like that was going to be the likely spot to have the fight. Though she was a little worried. She didn’t think of herself as a capable fighter, not like the kind of people that would probably be dragged into this kind of organised fight. She jigged nervously in place, though she was careful not to let her feet actually touch the ground for that one. She looked around a touch cautiously and half expected some kind of sneak attack coming in for her that would ruin her day.
Alric had been waiting this entire time, merely hiding among the groups of people and playing some jokes, he had wanted to play his games a bit more but he had had to wait, his enemies would be more fun than the average weakling humans around here. But finally, Alric was called forth and he was ready to put such a wonderful show, he could only hope his straight man, or straight woman in this case, could provide him with great material to play his jokes and provide the audience with many laughs.
With a poof of mist, Alric had appeared in the center of the ring with his eyes glowing a bright yellow. He was facing away from his enemy and he quickly bowed to his part of the crowd with a smile on his face, taking in his time in spot light, he then repeated to the crowd to the right before finally facing his enemy.
To his surprise, his enemy was a demon much like himself, it was shocking to see another one of his kind out here, it took a lot of planning, training and some pure dumb luck for Alric to discover his way out, hell he must've died at least 500 times during his grand escape. But living the same day over and over with no changes tends to make even the most toughest challenges a bit more easy. But he couldn't delay his show even if he wanted to, he'd have to ask her questions some later time, so for now all he could do was wink at his fellow demon, as he bowed toward her and the crowd behind her.
Finally he ended his little entrance by turning toward the announcers and bowed toward them as well. "My, my! So much people to entertain! I never performed before such a large crowd before! It's a pleasure to be here friends!" Alric would shout toward the audience in the earth's common language, enjoying his time in the spotlight. "Let us put on a marvelous show! With explosions! Magic! Chaos! Chaos!" Alric would tell his enemy in earth's language, laughing as he did so, not really caring that he was completely outmatched by the female demon.
Jaci’s bright red eyes flashed blue for a moment as the strange demon appeared in a sudden poof of mist. The girl rather surprised as she took a slow step backwards, almost worried about how this had come about. However, some things just didn’t fade away and while Vuoto had warned her to not act exactly how her mothers had taught her as it apparently made her a slut or something like that. She would still try and use some of her previous training. The little demon giving a full on bow that would be revealing if she didn’t have a lot of covering on her chest. Before regarding him in the demonic tongue.
“It is a pleasure to see you master. Though a disappointment that another of us has been kicked from our home to die at the delight of the humans.”
She seemed a little confused at his comments of entertaining, the word mostly went over her head so to speak. Jaci’s head slowly tilting in confusion, however most annoyingly the people in charge of the event had taken her book off of her so she wasn’t able to look up what they actually meant. Switching back to the common language in an attempt to communicate.
“W..what is entertain? Wait..” A glance around at the crowd watching them expectantly. “Is this a real fight? Is one of us to die? Is that why so many humans watch?”
She seemed disappointed for a moment or two and then straightened up, watching the other demon with some care. Though she didn’t make any real move against the other demon as yet. She wasn’t sure about his strength aware that her senses weren’t the most reliable when it came to respective power between people.
“I am jacivsvaust nishkasvent werithquenti . Sorry we have to fight.”

Alric was joyed his enemy would bow toward him as well, so classy! What manners! She will be a fun partner! However to his confusion, she had spoken in the old tongue and called him master? Was this an amateur? And why call him master? He had never been called master since he left home... What a bore! What a pain! What a drag! No, this won't do at all! "Kicked? Master? No! Wrong! Wrong! Wrong!!" Alric shouted at the other demon in their language "I left of my own will, when I left, my title of "master" was left as well and I refuse to take it back!" Alric told his new comedic partner, unhappy with her response as his smile faded.
As the the little demon kept speaking, his suspicions of her being an amateur was confirmed, she didn't even know what entertainment was! How foolish can one be? No... Could she be that foolish? Is she trying to make him the straight man? No one steals his show! "You fool! Entertainment! Put on a play, a show, make them laugh and happy! Simple and fun!" Alric instructed his companion in the old language. "And I'll have you know I am no one's straight man!" Alric finished his little rant before clearing his throat and resuming his smile.
"Enough with the old language, what fun would the crowd have if they can't even understand us?" Alric asked out loud mostly for the audience rather than getting an answer from the demon. "Now as a true gentlemen, I'll let you have the first strike, ladies first after all!" Alric would declare as he begun to laugh to himself, ready to face his melodramatic enemy known as Jacivsvaust Nishkasvent Werithquenti, although he'll probably just call her Jack.
Jaci seemed a little startled at the other demon shouting wrong at her, the girl almost instinctively cowering and backing away before he started to speak normally once more at which the girl managed to straighten back up and stare at him in a mixture of fear and utter hatred. The girl didn’t really catch what he meant by leaving the title of master behind. The little demon just confused that this demon could refuse something as obvious as power and respect. To abandon the position that he held? He chose to come here? A land of waiting death. By choice? Her voice was a little mumbled, but at least in the common tongue
“W..Why come here? It’s horrible here.”
She smiled a little at the other demon talking of entertainment, though she didn’t seem to really know just what that meant in the context of a fight? Maybe they needed to be flashy with the moves they used and how they went about fighting. But Jaci didn’t really know fancy moves. She only had her little blast and the ability to fly. So she chose to float, rather gracefully doing so and staring down at Alric.
“I.. Don’t think I get it, but. I’m going to fight, let you entertain.”
Raising a hand that purple energy gathered in a sudden swell of effort before the ball was launched down towards Alric as Jaci watched carefully to see how he dealt with the incoming and how he moved so she’d have a better chance of catching him off guard and ending this match quickly. Well as quickly as she could without using the ice prowess she held.

[BT-1] Evilbolt (Jaci’s father’s technique, a small bolt of energy, it’s a lovely shade of purple but Jaci has no idea why it’s evil)
"So glum! So gloomy! So boring!" Alric said out loud in the common language, finding the demon's lack of enthusiasm and borderline fear of this event just boring and lacking, there was nothing fun about her and only left him to be a solo act. How disappointing! He had expected the tourney to provide him with some more fun than this! Maybe the future enemies will be more fun.
Thankfully the sad demon was content on letting Alric be a solo act as she told him to do the entertainment as she fought, but rather surprisingly she gathered up her energy in a rather powerful attack, right off the bat? After saying so little? It wasn't even anything unique too! It was only a mere purple bolt of energy! How insulting! How boring! How Frustrating! It was supposed to be a fun show! A fast show! One with many unique and lively characters interacting and fighting! But the jester of chaos gets Gloomy McSadness?!
Alric could only break out in laughter at the joke the universe played on him, out of all odds, he ended up fighting the boring one! The universe was truly a jester at heart much like he was and he appreciated it! However, he didn't appreciate the sudden and powerful attack the little demon had just sent his way! No way was he going to bow out after just a single bolt of energy! He didn't come all this way just to be taken out in one shot by a boring demon!
Alric gathered his energy and put his arms in front of him, this was going to be a tricky move, but he could handle it despite the overwhelming power the demon had on her side. Alric rushed forward to meet the bolt of energy, quickly tuning his energy he made a slide of his ki for the other ki to be directed upward, which barely even worked, the attack far exceeding Alric's expectations and instead slammed into the demon, forcing him to redirect the bolt into the ground and explode in front of him, causing the demon to be sent flying off, landing on the edge of the ring and laying with his arm hanging off and nearly touching the ground, his power falling to exactly 1% of his power.
"Ta daa!" Alric declared with joy as he bounced back up and bowed, his clothing badly damaged and but still smiling despite the obvious pain he was in, his power also resuming back to normal, well as normal as someone this hurt could be. "Powerful and strong! But ending the show so quickly?! Boo! No fun!" Alric told the demon, a bit angry she had no sense of entertainment and seemed only interested in fighting in a rather plain and boring way.
"Allow me to show you what a real demon could do!" Alric declared as he formed a construct of the skull, glaring at the little demon as energy gathered in it's mouth, Alric only pointed his hand toward Jaci in front of it. "Behold! The Chaos Blaster! Isn't it wonderful? It's unique! Fun! And powerful!" Alric told the demon with a wicked smile as he poured in his magic into the attack to give it an extra kick for it's buck.
"Remember, put on a show!" Alric would tell the demon as he let the skull open it's mouth, firing off the beam it held within at full power, the little jester only laughing as it did so.

Jaci was a little bothered by the attitude of the other demon. It was fair to say that she just didn’t really understand just what it was that was expected of her during this. She had come here thinking that she was going to be able to get revenge on the human clan that had destroyed her forest. She Scowled a little at him calling her boring. Was the strange laughter he pulled out at the concept of her trying to attack him. Was he holding back his strength somehow. She was hardly surprised that he had managed to come out the other side of this attack.
What did bother her however was the strange response At his survival acting like she was a fool for trying to remove him from the fight early. She didn’t really want to fight a demon here. She was more interested in getting the chance to end some of the humans that had caused her serious problems in her life. Instead she was being taunted and mocked by a demon that seemed a little on the weak side of things. Maybe like Vuoto he had become weaker for escaping from the seal.
She hesitated at the concept that this demon was going to show her just what a demon could do and she backed away slightly, watching the other demon with care and a little uncertainty. What was he about to do that was so impressive. Oh it was some kind of skull creation. How strange, what was it going to do? Jaci was a little shocked. Though her gaze narrowed a little and she stood stock still in the face of that blast. The little demon striding through the laser and looking a little bit annoyed at the Jester in front of her as she emerged past the skull, stray smoke coming off her body from the burn of the laser before the little demon tried to gut shot the laughing jester.
“… Just beam. But with skull...”

Alric's smile faded as soon as the female demon remained still and met the attack head on, emerging from the beam without any real sign of damage from the attack besides some residual smoke on her clothing. She just no sold his attack! What a complete and utter amateur! However the crowd seemed impressed at that feat as they immediately begun to cheer for the little demon as she walked toward the jester.
"Interesting show! Who would've guessed even this crowd likes to see a curb stomp?" Alric asked the demon, not really expecting the demon to answer him. Alric begun to laugh once more when he realized the demon was going to attack him once, thinking quickly Alric teleported behind the little demon, hovering in the air as he laid on his side, his head resting on his open palm as he remained there. "So boring! A mere gut punch? Come on! Come on! Do something more creative than just a regular old punch and bolt of energy!" Alric told his demon companion, not really caring he was pretty sure he'd collapse if the demon fired another blast of energy at him.
Alric then resumed an upright position and begun to laugh to himself a small bit before spinning around rather quickly, his movement surprisingly fast and maybe enough to become a blur to even the stronger demon. He'd then start moving toward the demon with this accelerated speed and attempt to crash into her, still spinning and laughing as he does.
Regardless if he landed the hit or not, he'd spin away from the demon and stop himself a small distance away while still remaining in close quarters. He'd then turn around and face the young demon. "And one final present from me to you!" Alric would tell the demon with a smile as he pointed his hand in a gun shape at her. "Bang!" Alric would say as a single orb of ki would be sent out. "Ueeheehee! Good! Good! Now let's bring up the big gun, shall we?" Alric would say as he mimicked picking up a machine gun and pretended to reload the invisible gun. "Ready? Set? Go!" Alric would declare as he pulled the "trigger" on the machine gun.
Surprisingly 39 orbs would be sent flying at the demon in random directions, most not even flying anywhere near the demon was standing. Only about 10 of the orbs would fly directly toward the demon, including the first orb he shot from his little hand gun. Alric was laughing as he fired the mimic gun, seemingly not caring he was missing his "shots".
Suddenly the orbs that initially missed the demon would stop in their tracks and suddenly fly toward her, 15 on her right, ranging from above and almost ground level and 14 on her left, ranging from above and almost ground level as well. The orbs would be flying in such a way that it would be difficult to weave through them as they converged toward the little demon.

Jaci gave a rather sympathetic look at the other demon as he talked about the crowd liking what they saw. It was rather sad in a way, here they were two demons stuck in the humans world being forced to fight for their amusement. This wasn’t how it should be, it was bad enough how often they had attacked her. Bad enough they destroyed her newfound home. Now she was being made to fight her own kind in order to please her tormentors. She paused to look around in disgust for a moment at the crowd and her eyes flickered into the pale blue. Damn, not now, she didn’t need the ice now. Why was it showing up!
She stopped in place, hesitating and unwilling to move in case she ended up doing any real harm to the other demon. It was the last thing she really wanted to do. It left her unable to really move aside as he slammed into her and caused her to grimace, a little happy that the plating she wore as part of her outfit soaked the blow for her to an extent. She staggered though and landed on her behind, trying to shake off the dizzyness of watching the spinning demon and the impact.
She managed to get to her feet as the sudden storm of bullets from his fake guns came flying in for her. The little demon snarling angrily as the blows impacted over and over again little blasts and smoke pouring off her, though across the ground at her feet ice started to slowly spread out from her toes. When the barrage was over, Jaci was revealed to be holding what looked tom be a swirling mess of her purple energy and ice, causing a rorschach test of purple on near white pale blue.
“This … Is… Sick. Human watch while demon kill! “
The orb was gently tossed airborne. Jaci’s gaze upon it rather than Alric as it seemingly got to the point she wanted she closed the hand that had thrown it. The ki within the swirl detonating and throwing out shards of ice in every direction. Most of it seemed to be going straight for the crowd. A singluar shard of the ice headed for Alric almost as a mistake considering the lack of aim

With his attacks landing, Alric was certain he had no more energy to use for any more tricks, he did all he could against the powerful demon and played his role as best as he could with the material he was given. To no one's shock once the barrage was over it seemed the demon was only pissed off more than anything as she stood with a purple ball of energy, but to those paying attention, they'd see shards of ice within the attack, swirling around in a circular motion.
However, what she said next was alarming to the demon. Was she really unaware that this was merely just a show? Did she think this was an actual death match? Alric could only break out into more insane laughter, no wonder she was so gloomy! Such a silly mistake! She must've been sheltered from reality for so long and stumbled into this place by accident! Alric couldn't stop laughing from that realization, it was so stupid, truly someone couldn't make this up!
"You fool! This is merely a show! No death needed! Such silliness! Silliness!" Alric revealed with laughter despite the demon not really paying attention to him and he noticed now the orb was gone from her hand. "Oh." Alric merely said as he suddenly broke out into more insane laughter.
The fool was actually about to cause so much chaos over such a stupid mistake! This was going to be a wonderful show and he was intent on watching how it would unfold, not really attempting to stop the demon from firing off her attack that would either expand out or shoot multiple shards of ice in random directions. Either way, it was truly going to be the show of a life time!
At least it would've if the fool hadn't shoot a shard of ice into the demon's stomach and pinned him into the ground as his laughter was cut short and his eyes dimmed. "You... You actually...?" Alric managed to say in his shock state. He broke out into even more laughter, stopping only by the blood being forced out by his coughs. "That wasn't very.... Ice of you Jack!" Alric told the demon as he started to laugh, not really caring about the shard of ice that had impaled him, he was certain the healers of this place could patch him up.
