The crowd was seated in the massive arena, not every seat but enough to see there was intrigue in the match. Aria sat in the locker room but not Aria, she could not bare her normal name and appearance given the fact Orion funded this place. Aria took on the name Grave flower also dying her hair completely red and removing her jewelry. It was good enough to keep her off of Orions radar and let her work out her aggression in the pit. She’d opted for a random match with anyone who was in the MMA venue as it was her favorite, hand to hand combat with nothing to get in the way. Despite her inhuman innards she could still feel the rush that came just before a fight radiating through her, it was excellent she thought. Aria wore a pair ox boxer shorts and a black wife beater, she also had her hands wrapped in bandages. The previous match was just ending at it was growing closer to her time in the ring, the crowd’s cheers were gone and replaced by murmurs. The ring was prepped, and it was a minute till match time.
Over on the opposite locker room Aria’s opponent Ardiz-zil Subos sat on a bench in a meditative state, her blue skin radiating a bit of a cold aura helping her focus. Ardiz was fairly new to competitive combat and didn’t love the whole fan fare aspect of it. The only reason she was truly here was to display the capabilities and some of her culture to the people of the world. It was her hope that gaining a bit of fame would attract more attention to the existence of her kind and help with her ideas of expansionism. It had also been some time since she had tried her skills against an opponent outside of training with other members of her village. She pondered in her mind what manner of enemy she’d be facing and how she should go about handling different situations, a good deal of her powers were not useable in the match so she’d have to rely on technique. Ardiz was very agile and fast in her natural state, she could throw a furry of punches and kicks in two seconds like the wind. Ardiz stood up in her ceremonial combat attire now ready for her engagement in the pit.
The pit was pitch and silent deepening the dramatic tone, drums began to beat in the dark so loud they shook bone. As the drums picked up their pace the spotlights burst to life pointing down at the ring which was really just a large area of sand cordoned off with steel cage barriers. The barriers themselves are heavily reinforced and have magic runes etched into them that glow a gentle white light. The spotlights circle the pit as a voice crackles to life over a speaker.
“GREETINGS LADIES! GENTLEMEN! AND ALL BEINGS INBETWEEN! TONIGHT WE HAVE AN ELECTRIFYING MATCH FOR YOU IN THE SEVEN SINS PIT! THE BLUE BRAWLER FROM THE FAR NORTH! THE FROST NYMPH WITH THAT DEADLY DANCE STYLE ARDIZ-ZIL SUBOOOOOOOS!”
At that moment Ardiz steps out and walks down the laneway to a decent amount of applause and cheer, she forces herself to be more charismatic waving and bowing to the crowd.
“SUCH A HUMBLE FIGHTER! AND NOW… You know her well. She’s BAD, she’s MEAN, and she breaks fighters like a MACHIIIIIIIINE! INTRODUCING THE SATURDAY NIGHT GRAND BRAWL WINNER! GRAAAAAVE FLOWER!”
Aria walks out from the opposite entrance with a glare on her face looking up towards the announcer.
“Who the fuck writes that idiots’ lines?” Aria thought to herself.
The two fighters stepped into the pit as the steel barrier closed behind them both. They stared across at each other; Aria bearing a cocky smirk and Ardiz giving no reaction.
“THIS IS A NON LETHAL KO OR SUBMISSION MMA MATCH! FIGHTERS DO YOU UNDERSTAND AND ARE YOUUUUUU READY!?”
Both Ardiz and Aria give the thumbs up symbol.
“RING THE BELL AND LET’S GET THIS MATCH OOOOOOON!”
A second later the bell rings and both fighters strike their combat stance as they carefully approach the other. They both circle each other keeping a close on the other movements and footwork, Aria in her aggressive style is the first to attack. Aria comes in with a few jabs and a right hook that Ardiz nimbly dodges and counters with a roundhouse kick. Aria blocks the kick and catches Ardiz leg holding so she’s off balance. Ardiz very used to balancing on one leg makes a small jump with her other leg bringing it around and kicking Aria in the face sending her stumbling back. Ardiz uses that momentum and runs at Aria trying to jump up and wrap her legs around Arias neck to throw her into the barrier, but Aria catches her as Ardiz legs are around her neck and instead slams Ardiz down hard enough she lets out a gasp. Aria pins her down and starts brutally pounding Ardiz face into the sand making it fly up. Thankfully Ardiz still has the focus to move her face out of the way of one punch and use her leg to kick Aria in the back and off her. Aria gets up quickly as does Ardiz shaking off those bows to the face that felt like a block of metal. Aria gets in close throwing a few high kicks and side kicks which Ardiz manages to block and dodge. Ardiz begins to notice that this opponent feels different to hit, almost like her flesh is hardening as the fight goes on.
Ardiz decides it’s time to go on the offensive and see if she can tire out her enemy with her speed and agility. Ardiz ducks and dodges under one of Aria’s jump kicks and gets behind her quickly, she kicks the back of Aria’s knee making Aria yell in pain and then follows up by a vicious kick to the side of Aria’s face making her hit the sand fast and hard. When Aria looks up again Ardiz has vanished, she quickly gets back on her feet and looks around confused.
“What the… I can sense her but.”
Suddenly Aria feels a heavy blow to the back of her head making her stumble a bit.
“Ack! What the?!”
Another strike comes from the side hitting Aria’s ribs with a loud crunch sound as a blue blur whizzes past her.
“Ugh!... Ok that’s a cute power. Let’s see if we cant shut that down.”
Aria hardens her body to a more solid point and waits for the next strike still trying to find Ardiz. What Aria doesn’t notice is that Ardiz has been moving just outside Aria’s peripheral vision, so she seems invisible. Ardiz comes in for another hit and strikes Aria hard but Aria endures the strike and catches Ardiz by the arm. Ardiz tries to yank herself away but Aria grabs her other hand so Ardiz has to face her. Aria gets a demented grin on her face as her grip tightens and she pulls Ardiz in headbutting her hard throwing Ardiz off her balance. Aria takes Ardiz by the hair and slugs her across the face like her hand was a metal flail sending her flying into the barrier with a resonating, metallic, smacking sound. Ardiz rendered dizzy by this, struggles to regain her senses and pick herself off the ground, a little too late as Aria stands before her. The crowd at this point is enamored with the combatants and every move they make. There is no booing at either fighter only loud cheers for these warriors. Aria picks Ardiz up by the head and throws her against the barrier in a corner, she starts beating on her hard using her boxing training as Ardiz tries hard to keep her guard up and find a chance to escape this corner. Even though Ardiz guards each punch from Aria feels like a stampeding animal.
