Larion

The moment Asami starts the match the two attack. Luna sends an Ancient Beast Slash at Larion.

"Sparks!" Luna shouts while reaching her hand out. Sparks jumps from her Familiars Mark before merging with her. Her fur turns white with blue stripes. Lightning crackles across her body. She lunges for Larion as he lands. She goes to scratch his head with her claws. He steps to his left to dodge. At the same time, he throws a punch at her head. She ducks down to avoid it while twisting her body. She places her palm against the ground and pushes herself up. She lands a kick on Larion's head, making him stumble back. She kicks too? I should make her some boots to go with her gauntlets then. I briefly think as Luna creates some distance. Larion rubs his head where he got hit.

"That's some good reflexes you got there Luna. I didn't think you'd be able to dodge, let alone counter." Larion says before running for her. Luna jumps back, jumping a few feet in the air. Larion jumps up after her and quickly catches her. Luna smiles seeing him jump after her. She raises her foot, while still in the air. She kicks off the air in front of her. As she does, lightning crackles from her foot. She dodges Larion's punch by a few feet. She uses both her hands to cast Ancient Beast Slash. She sends two at him since he can't dodge in the air. He raises his arms to protect his face. The Slash's hit him, knocking him to the ground. Luna lands and runs toward him. He lands a few feet from the wall. Luna gets to him as he gets on his feet. She lunges for his chest, trying to cut him again. He dodges by moving to his side. Larion kicks her side, as she passes him by. Luna gets sent crashing into the wall, cracking it and creating a small crater in it. Dust and dirt get kicked up, hiding Luna from sight. Larion jumps back and waits to see if she can still fight. It's now I notice that both of his arms are bleeding. There's a nasty wound on each of them, covering his hands in his own blood. Luna stumbles out of the dust cloud, blood running down her face. I Observe Luna and see she's down to just a few hundred HP. I stand up, about to jump in to stop her when Asamis Wolf lifts her up with its tails.

"That's enough! Larion wins!" Asami says into the mic while jumping off her Wolf. Her Wolf carries Luna through the entrance to the floor. I assume it's where Gaia is waiting. The crowd erupts in applause as Asami says something to Larion, but she's turned off the microphone. I assume she's telling him to go see Gaia too. She turns the mic back on before clearing her throat. "That was a short but intense match. Unfortunately, Larions injuries are too severe for him to continue in the next match. So, let's get the fourth match started! This time it's Innu, our Demonic Pheonix Wyvern Hybrid, against Kagiyama, the Blue Lotus Guild Master." Asami says pointing to the two of them before they enter the arena. "The rules are the same as before. Are you two ready?" Asami asks while looking from one to the other.

"Yes!" Innu replies excitedly.

"Yeah, I'm pretty exited Innu. It's been a while since we spared using magic. Let's see how much you've improved." Kagiyama says.

"Then begin!" Asami shouts before her Wolf jumps back. Innu rushes Kagiyama while lifting her blade above herself. She swings it down on him. He quickly steps to his left while using his right hand to deflect her blade. His gauntlets redirect it, causing it to crash into the ground next to him. He swings his left fist at her exposed hip. He connects, causing Innu to gasp and cough before jumping back. Innu opens her mouth and breaths fire at him. Kagiyama raises his left hand with his palm facing Innu. Water appears around his arm before extending around his palm. It creates a shield barely bigger than his body. It wraps around him, covering him from all directions. Her flames run along it, but can't break through. They suddenly start to swirl around him before becoming a tornado of flames. They envelop him as Innu runs toward him. She pulls her sword back to attack. Before she can, a large fish-like creature made of water breaks through the flames. It's covered in watery scales and has a shark fin. It swims through the air and goes to bite Innu. Innu stops her swing and uses her blade to block. The fish bites down on her blade and presses down on her. Its tail starts to move back and forth. It moves slowly at first but quickly speeds up. The faster it moves, the more weight it presses down with.

"Grrr! Let go stupid fish!" Innu says while growling. She breathes fire on it, but it doesn't seem to care. It doesn't budge or slow down causing her to growl again. During this, Kagiyama breaks through Innus tornado. He runs toward Innu, to attack her while she's busy with the fish. Innu sees him coming and I see her eyes widen with panic. Kagiyama pulls his left arm back, enveloping it in water. Before he attacks, Innu does something that surprises me.
