Square Enix Boss Tournament: Grahf Wins!

[Ultima Shadow]

Oh, well... I've changed my mind. To pass a round is just lame and I like to play risky so...

334,000

34,000 on Wiegraf

:cool:

[Doomie]

4000

2000 on Wiegraf

[Masamune·1600]

70,000

2,000 on Wiegraf. I think there's a high probability we'll see Wiegraf take on the form of Velius in this round.

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

Lava swirled around the area of Mount Goug as Wiegraf and Seymour stepped lightly onto the rocky platforms.

"BEGIN!"

Wiegraf drew his sword as Seymour gathered a ball of flame in his right hand.

"FIRAGA!" he yelled, hurling the fireball at Wiegraf.

Wiegraf dodged to the side with ease and drew his blade back, thrusting it at Seymour.

"Lightning Stab!" he yelled, a blade of lightning bursting from the blade and hurling itself at Seymour.

Seymour grunted and dodged to the side, the blade of lightning impaling him in the side and sending bolts of lightning coursing through his body.

"Damn you!" he hissed. "COME ANIMA!"

"HOLY EXPLOSION!" Wiegraf yelled.

As the black gate opened to admit Anima into the world, a pillar of light descended and hurled itself into the portal.

A huge roar emerged from the portal as Anima burst forth, crying out in utter pain. At that moment another pillar of light burst from the sky, enshrouding Seymour and blasting him to the ground.

"KILL HIM!" Seymour yelled.

Anima bent over and glared at Wiegraf, a burst of black energy descending on him.

Wiegraf brought his sword up and parried the attack, holding back the energy with his sword as it began to glow with an orange aura.

"Doom of the planet..." he chanted. "CRUSH PUNCH!"

A blade of orange energy released itself from his sword, piercing the energy and dispersing it as it shattered in the air.

Anima growled and brought its hands down to slam him.

Weigraf jumped to the side, dodging the attack with ease.

"SPLIT PUNCH!" he yelled, a large blue sword engulfing his own and impaling Anima.

Anima howled in rage and slammed the ground just as Wiegraf's feet touched it. A dark purple semi-liquid substance suddenly entrapped his feet and began to pull him under.

"What the hell is this!?" Wiegraf yelled as he struggled against the liquid. However, it was no avail, and he was pulled beneath the earth.

Seymour watched with a smirk on his face as Anima writhed, knowing the horrors that took place beneath. However, that smile soon evaporated as white, howling souls began streaming down into the rift.

A massively muscular humanoid creature appeared just beyond the rift with the head of a ram and four arms.

"Cyclops! Come to me!" it howled, a magic circle appearing in midair.

A hugely muscular humanoid creature, as tall as Anima and with one gaping eye burst forth, tackling Anima and bringing it to the ground. Anima shrieked in pain and rage as it grappled with it, bashing it with its huge meaty fists.

Anima shrieked weakly before fading in a huge cloud of pyreflies.

"BEGONE!" Seymour hissed, banishing the Cyclops with a wave of his hand.

"What are you?" he demanded.

"Velius," the creature replied. "The one who will slay you."

"I think not." Seymour replied, raising his hand and unleashing a stream of flame at Velius.

Velius teleported out of the way. Bringing his hands together, he unleashed a wave of dark magic.

Three demons with gray, muscular forms and red wings and horns appeared at his side.

"Go, my minions!" Velius hissed. "Destroy him!"

The three demons fanned out, dark magic crackling in their hands while Velius himself began charging a spell.

Seymour turned and blasted one of the demons with a powerful fire spell, scorching its body and turning it into a statue. The other two, however, unleashed blasts of powerful dark magic at Seymour.

The spells enveloped him, causing him to scream in pain as they wreaked havoc on his body.

"Titan!" Velius roared, a massive man bursting from the ground.

As the dark energy dissipated Titan grabbed Seymour and pinned him to the ground.

Seymour roared in pain as Titan systematically broke his limbs with ease, the sound of cracking echoing throughout the volcano.

Velius laughed as Seymour lay, broken and dying on the ground. "I've no more time for this," he said, before teleporting away along with his minions, leaving Seymour behind to bleed the rest of his life away.

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

Rase, don't forget to go find whenever your battlefield was used and add 1,000 gil for each.

The crystal walls glittered as the cloaked Zemus and black-robed Riku stepped onto the field. In his right hand, Riku held the oblivion keyblade and in his left he held the nameless dark keyblade used to unlock people's hearts.

"BEGIN!"

Riku surged forward with blinding speed, slashing at Zemus with his right hand before he could even react.

Zemus took the keyblade right in the chest and was sent flying backwards into the crystal wall.

Not missing a beat Riku dashed forward, keyblade extended outward. His right keyblade slashed Zemus across the face, leaving a trail of hot blood while the other impaled him through the heart.

"You're mine!" Riku yelled, twisting the keyblade inside his chest.

Zemus coughed and spat blood at Riku as his body coalesced and was swallowed by the darkness.

Slowly but surely Zemus vanished into the rift, only to explode outward again in another form entirely.

A massive beast with gray flesh, several open red orifices, and several blue crystals emerged from the rift, exploding into the cavern and crushing much of the crystal as it expanded outward.

Riku nimbly jumped back to the edge of the room as it grew until it was touching the roof of the cave and nearly lifting it out with its massive bulk.

Steeling himself, Riku charged forward, keyblades held outward.

Zeromus batted at the charging boy but he dodged under the hand and jumped onto Zeromus's flank, running alongside the great beast and dragging his keyblades through it, causing it to roar in pain.

Zeromus clawed at its body with its many hands in an attempt to dislodge Riku, but he was simply too nimble. Running and jumping quickly, he continued to hack at Zeromus, opening several gashes on its tough hide.

Zeromus growled, and an eruption of lightning burst from its body, slamming into Riku and blasting him into the air.

As he fell to the ground, Zeromus's hand shot out and pinned him against the crystal wall, smashing part of it in the process.

Riku struggled against Zeromus's clutches for a moment, before going limp. Satisfied, Zeromus removed his hand, letting the boy fall to the ground.

The next battle will be between Necron and Grahf. It will take place in the Game Room. Betting will close around midnight tomorrow night.

[raskerino]

Once again I'm not sure, I think Grahf probably has an advantage with the battleroom (I'm not sure but I'm too lazy to look) and I think he has more advantages aplicable to one if these fights.

5000 on Grahf.

[greymon138]

[Takara]

Shouldn't I have 273,000 actually? 216,000 + 56,000 + 1,000 for the rent?

Unless I really suck that much at maths.

[The Triumphant Hero]

10,000

5,000 on Grahf

[Masamune·1600]

80,000

10,000 on Grahf, even though I think Necron's strengths would normally counterbalance Grahf's.

[NeoCracker]

5,000 on Necron, because hey, its necron.

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

The game room flickered into the shape of a sprawling cityscape as Grahf faced down Necron.

One one side Necron hovered easily in the air, watching Grahf's movements. In the other, Grahf stood on top of his massive, bat-winged gear, it's arms folded and its eyes glowing.

"BEGIN!"

Grahf jumped down from his gear and landed on one of the virtual buildings.

"Are you not going to get into that toy of yours?" Necron asked calmly.

"It is not necessary for the likes of you," Grahf replied, equally calmly.

"We shall see," Necron said, magic arcing around body.

"FLARE!"

Necron stretched his palm outward and hurled a burst of flame at Grahf. Without making any visible movements, Grahf blurred, and was suddenly standing on the building just adjacent to the one he had been standing on just moments before.

The magic crushed the virtual construct, causing it to fall to the ground and dissipate into millions of pixels.

"HOLY!" Necron yelled, this time raising his hand to the sky.

Once again, Grahf blurred and the next building exploded into pixels as Grahf appeared on yet another.

Before Necron could act again Grahf blurred once more, charging towards Necron. He unleashed a series of barehanded attacks, finishing with a barrage of energy balls that blasted Necron backwards.

Recovering, Necron raised his arms and gathered energy to him, unleashing it upon Grahf.

Grahf easily dodged to the side and assaulted Necron's flank, striking him open-palmed with two successive blows before leaping into the air and rising up, kicking Necron repeatedly.

Necron grunted and unleashed a blast of Lightning magic that expanded outward. Grahf easily jumped back and landed on another building, dodging the attack. Gathering energy into his hands, he jumped into the air and began throwing them at Necron, the balls of energy exploding on impact and covering Necron with smoke.

The smoke suddenly dissipated as a massive burst of magical energy spiraled outward from where Necron was standing, moving towards Grahf and destroying not only the virtual constructs but much of the game room itself.

Grahf blurred from building to building and backflipped into his gear, the cockpit closing and the gear moving to block the attack just before it struck.

The blast of the magical attack pushed the gear backwards slightly, but not by very much.

Wings extending, the gear burst forward, energy swirling around it. Slamming into Necron, the gear unleashed a series of vicious punches, before delivering one final, energized kick that blasted Necron into and through the wall.

As the battered blue being strove to rise, the gear darted forward, flying through Necron and tearing him asunder with its hands, hurling the flesh aside casually before streaking off into the night.

As much as I hate myself for doing so... :whimper:

273,000

73,000 on Sephiroth.

Poor Golbez doesn't stand a chance. :crying2: I mean, how can he compete against Sephy? Sephiroth's got hordes of raving fanboys/fangirls and Cloud as his gay lover. Golby only has a mop as his incestuous gay lover. IT DOESN'T BALANCE!

[raskerino]

While I don't think Sephiroth will win the tournament I think he has this round, it's not the one I see him losing in.

[Rase]

195,000

5,000 on Golbez.

[Masamune·1600]

90,000

40,000 on Sephiroth. I think that the edge makes Sephiroth's ability to fly all the more useful.

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

Sephiroth and Golbez stepped onto the platform, preparing for battle. Sephiroth clutched his Masamune and smiled viciously while Golbez held an ornate black-bladed sword in a still but ready position.

"BEGIN!"

Sephiroth shot forward, his movements a blur as he slashed at Golbez with his masamune. Golbez flicked his sword out and blocked the blow, smacking it in just the right stop to off-balance Sephiroth.

Sephiroth stepped back to regain his balance as Golbez came in low with a vicious thrust to his midsection.

Sephiroth twisted and avoided the blade, bringing his sword around and arcing it at Golbez's head.

Golbez smoothly changed the arc, bringing his blade up and locking it with the Masamune.

Both combatants locked blades, neither giving ground. Almost simultaneously, they began summoning magic about them, the aura increasing in size and potency as they struggled to gain ground.

"FIRAGA!" they both yelled, the materia on Sephiroth's arm glowing as the magic around Golbez flared to life.

The area around them exploded in a massive burst of fire, further fueled by the Volcano's natural alignment to fire magic. Both combatants were thrown back, digging their heels into the ground to prevent themselves from flying too far.

Grasping their blades in one hand, Golbez and Sephiroth both gathered magic about them.

"Quake!" they both yelled, thrusting their hand into the ground.

The platform began to shake violently before breaking apart and, piece by piece, submerging beneath the waves.

"Levitate!" Golbez yelled, using his magic to rise into the air.

A massive wing burst from Sephiroth's back, which flapped once and thrust him into the air.

Both men now hovered above the lava pool, staring each other down. Golbez raised his hand, magic coursing through him. At the same time, Sephiroth clutched his side and bent over as his body began shifting and changing.

"METEO!" Golbez yelled, a storm of meteors bursting through the volcano and raining down upon Sephiroth.

"SUPERNOVA!"

A drastically changed Sephiroth, now sporting one demonic wing, several white legs, and a massive halo shouted.

Starting from his center and expanding outward, a massive burst of intense flame erupted. The meteors from Golbez's spell were consumed and destroyed utterly as it expanded outward, destroying the walls of the volcano and engulfing Golbez.

Golbez screamed in pain, a scream that ended abruptly as the powerful spell destroyed his body utterly.

30,000 on Kefka.

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

Oy! Stop spamming my thread.

Anyways.

The sky was dark but clear and cloudless as Kefka and Kuja stepped onto the roof of the Fanatics Tower.

"BEGIN!"

"Firaga!" Kefka yelled.

"Blizzaga!" Kuja yelled.

Both spells slammed into each other before erupting into a burst of steam.

Kuja jumped into the air and floated upwards, above the steam cloud.

"COMET!" he yelled, directing a large comet from the sky and casting it onto the battlefield.

The sound of the comet crashing into the tower was deafening.

Without checking to see if he had contacted, he began forming another spell.

"FLARE!"

A burst of powerful magic shot down into the steam and dust cloud. However, this time it bounced back, striking a surprised Kuja in the chest and blasting him upward, where he lay suspended in midair for a moment before recovering.

A burst of lightning surged forward, electrocuting Kuja, followed by several meteors, one of which blasted him into the tower and crushed him under its weight.

As the dust cleared, Kefka could be seen laughing maniacally.

The meteor that had crushed Kuja was suddenly blown apart as he emerged, his hair now fiery red and his eyes cold and vicious.

"Oh? A new form? I suppose I should get serious as well," Kefka said as six wings burst from his back.

Kuja raised his hand and a torrent of mystic energy began gathering about him.

"DIE!" he screamed, hurling it at the tower. "ULTIMA!"

Kefka shot up as the explosion of magical energy burst forth, obliterating the tower and causing a chain reaction. Magic spiraled outward, completely out of control as fey bolts of energy moved to destroy anything and everything in their path.

As the magics grew out of control, Kuja, too, began to fly upwards, as both combatants moved to escape the explosion.

"Fallen One!" Kefka yelled as they flew, sending a group of tainted cherubs at Kuja.

The cherubs latched onto Kuja, dragging him down as they sucked his life energy from him. "No! STOP!" Kuja screamed, blasting them with his magic as they pulled him inexoribly closer to the surging magics.

Finally he burst free and desperately flew upwards, only to be batted down to earth again by a large meteor. As he fell, the unleashed magics caught up to him and engulfed his body, obliterating him.

Kefka flew in the air laughing as the magic continued to expand. Finally, it reached its limit and exploded, the huge surge expanding outwards in all directions, destroying the land for miles around.

"This... a monument to non-existence. Not bad, I suppose. A bit lacking in style, though," Kefka said as he flew off.

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

Two warriors stepped into God's Private Studio, blades in hand.

"The next battle is between Wiegraf and Beatrix! BEGIN!"

Both warriors stood, facing each other, their eyes narrowed.

"I've a proposition," Beatrix said tentatively.

"Go on," Wiegraf said, not breaking eye contact.

"How about a battle between us as equals. No orb."

"Sounds good to me."

Both raised their swords in unison.

"Climhazzard!"

"Lightning Stab!"

The orb was slashed from both sides with great force. As Wiegraf and Beatrix both drew back, it seemed to expand, and then contract, before shattering in a storm of magical energy.

The storm ravaged the center of the battlefield, leaving a gaping crater in its wake.

"Well then," Wiegraf said, bringing his sword into a low, offensive stance.

"Let's begin."

Both warriors shot forward, locking blades as they tried to push the other back.

"Not bad," Beatrix said, grunting as she strained to push Wiegraf back.

"Likewise," Wiegraf said, also grunting.

Beatrix smirked as holy energy began to gather around her.

"HOLY!"

The energy surged through her blade and blasted Wiegraf backwards.

Wiegraf swore as he tumbled back, off the edge. Thinking fast, he thrust his sword forward.

"CRUSH PUNCH!"

The blade bit into the ledge as the power of his sword attack opened a hole for it. Grasping his sword, Wiegraf vaulted upwards, hurling himself back onto the ledge.

"Climhazzard!"

Beatrix shot forward, slashing at Wiegraf. Vainly he brought his sword forward to block but it was no use. Beatrix's sword blasted him from the edge, hurling him backwards.

As Beatrix sheathed her blade and walked away from the battlefield, souls began pouring down into where Wiegraf had fallen.

Whirling, Beatrix drew her sword just in time to see Velius appear before her.

"That wasn't very nice," he growled, raising his arm.

Three demons appeared kneeling behind him. They all stood and faced Beatrix, hissing viciously.

Beatrix raised her blade.

"SHOCK!" She yelled, unleashing a powerful blast of energy.

The demons all scattered, leaving Velius to take the brunt of the blow.

Velius crossed his arms before his face as it hit him, before shrugging off the strike.

"Is that the best you can do?" he taunted as Beatrix raised her blade for another attack. At that moment, dark magic converged around her as three consecutive Dark Holy spells erupted from the ground.

Beatrix screamed in pain as they assaulted her, battering her with unholy energy and leaving her weakened and kneeling before Velius.

"Now, feel the pain of your existence!" he howled, enveloping her in dark energy.

Beatrix shrieked, a sound that enveloped the entire battlefield. When the darkness cleared she lay on the ground, clutching her head and sobbing pitifully.

The next battle will be between Zeromus and Grahf. It will take place in the Goug Volcano. Betting will close around midnight tomorrow night.

Oh, and as a note. The Grand Tournament III has been posted up and I am accepting characters now. You can wait until this tournament ends or transfer some of your funds now to make one. I'll start auctioning off planets and patches of land for battlefields shortly, and noncombatants should follow soon after. The current Tournament is Sci-fi, although there are still fantastical elements within it. You are all welcome and encouraged to join, all Grand Tournament money carries over between these tournaments, so any tournament I run has it as an interchangeable currency.

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

Grahf's gear OR Weltal and Zeromus in his true form both flickered into existence within Goug at the same time.

"BEGIN!"

Both combatants faced off, neither making any movement but instead remaining perfectly still.

It was Zeromus who eventually broke the tense silence, unleashing a Dark Matter attack directly at OR Weltal.

The volcano went black as the negative energy burst towards Grahf.

OR Weltal raised its hand, which began glowing red.

The dark matter crashed into the hand, parting like butter under a hot knife and destroying the area around the gear but leaving it untouched.

OR Weltal spread its wings and the verniers on its back flared to life. Moving impossibly fast it burst forward and unleashed a flurry of blows on Zeromus, ending with a kick that sent the large creature backwards several meters.

Not letting up, OR Weltal rushed in and delivered a combination of powerful punches before ending with an upward spiraling kick and a backflip that sent the beast sprawling.

Zeromus howled and lightning bolts burst from the sky, surrounding and blasting the gear.

OR Weltal's wings folded around its head to protect itself from the worst of the attack as it was battered on all sides. Just as the attack ended, its wings unfurled and it burst forward, launching itself into the air and delivering a flying kick before pushing off and flipping over Zeromus.

The gear began gathering energy in its hands before releasing it in a burst of spirit force.

Zeromus roared as the blast took it in the back, leaving a gaping hole upon passing through it.

Zeromus whirled just in time to be punched in the face. The punch was followed up with several more, and ended with a mighty blow to the midsection that broke through its massive, fleshy hide.

The gear jostled its hand inside of Zeromus as Zeromus moved to grapple it with its other hands, but it was too late. Energy gathered around OR Weltal and was released in a massive burst inside of Zeromus.

Zeromus seemed to balloon outward for a moment, before exploding in a rain of disgusting and twisted organs and bloody flesh.

And since this is almost over, start thinking about what to field in the sci-fi tournament.

[raskerino]

Zeromus and Grahf just fought so the fight can't be between them:D

I think it's Sephiroth vs. Kefka

[The Triumphant Hero]

Who's fighting?

[Pheesh]

i think he copies and pastes and trust me, updating the money tables is much harder than it seems.

Sephiroth vs Kefka
Wiegraf vs Grahf

Thar ya go, now let's get some sci-fi characters up. My haxzord guy has scared you all off hasn't he?

Ultima Shadow: 1,320,000
1,320,000 + 1,315,000= 2,635,000. :p


Anyways... if the next battle is Kefka VS Sephiroth, then...

[The Triumphant Hero]

5,000 on Kefka

[Doomie]

Well, I got 1000 for rent on the last one, so 21,000.

Something tells me that Kefka will not win, but I love him too much to bet against him.

10,000 on Kefka.

[NeoCracker]

25,000 left.

If Kefka looses, all hope is lost. Therefore 24,000 Kefka.

[raskerino]

I prefer Sephiroth and think the story made him out to be stronger, but I don't think his moves are very effective in this setting.

10,000 on Kefka, but this feels like a big risk.

[Mercen-X]

1,000,000 on Kefka

[Takara]

600,000

250,000 on Kefka.

[Rase]

220,000

30,000 on Kefka.

[Masamune·1600]

162,000

2,000 on Sephiroth. The system doesn't seem to favor him, but I still feel he's the stronger of the two.

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

Kefka and Sephiroth both stepped into the arena, staring each other down. Sephiroth's expression was one of grim malice, whereas Kefka's was insane bloodlust.

"BEGIN!"

"Why don't we just cut to the chase?" Kefka asked.

"Indeed," Sephiroth said.

Both of their bodies seemed to distort as Kefka sprouted wings and Sephiroth morphed into his many-legged form.

Rising up into the air, Kefka raised his hand.

"METEOR!" he yelled, unleashing a shower of meteors at Sephiroth.

"SHADOW FLARE!" Sephiroth yelled, destroying the meteors with dark energy.

Kefka circled Sephiroth as Sephiroth's eyes darkened and his hands glowed with energy.

"HAVOC WING!" they both yelled at the same time, rushing towards each other and clashing with a massive release of energy.

Both combatants were blasted backwards, away from each other.

Kefka beat his wings and easily stabalized, as did Sephiroth.

"ULTIMA!"

"SUPERNOVA!"

Destructive magical energies burst from Kefka and Sephiroth as they expanded outward, obliterating everything in their path. Both attacks met head on and began pressing against each other, neither gaining any ground as both struggled vainly to obliterate their target.

This lasted for several tense moments, before the attacks finally dissipated, their energies spent.

"FALLEN ONE!" Kefka yelled, almost before the magic was extinguished.

Dark angels appeared under Sephiroth and began clawing at him and dragging him downward, draining his energy.

Screaming in rage, Sephiroth raised his arms once more, energy building within him.

"SUPERNOVA!" he yelled again, unleashing a burst of massive flame that completely obliterated the angels who were attacking him.

As the fires grew around him, Kefka flew up and around it, keeping just out of its reach.

As the Nova expanded outward even further, it began to bulge until finally it exploded in a wave of powerful magic.

Kefka raised his hand to shield his face and rushed in, magic gathering in his hand. Ignoring the residual magic from the attack, he rushed right up to Sephiroth and placed his hand on his shoulder.

"Goner!" he yelled, releasing the magical energy in an attack that blasted Sephiroth downward into the destroyed ground below.

Raising his other hand, Kefka charged a spell and rushed towards Sephiroth while he was recovering.

"Thundaga!" he yelled, releasing a blast of powerful lightning that took Sephiroth in the back as he turned to face his foe.

His other hand glowing, Kefka ran up to Sephiroth and punched him in the stomache with great force.

Sephiroth spat blood from the force of the blow as he grabbed Kefka's hand with a triumphant grin on his face.

"I HAVE YOU!" he yelled.

"FIRAGA!" Kefka yelled in reply, engulfing Sephiroth in flames.

The blast distracted Sephiroth, allowing Kefka to rip his hand free and bring both of them together as he flew just above Sephiroth, magic arcing through his fingers.

"ULTIMA!"

The magical energy burst outward, slamming into Sephiroth and driving him into the ground.

Sephiroth growled and struggled against the spell, gathering energy about him in an attempt to counter with his own Super Nova.

With a grunt, Sephiroth slammed into the ground, the magic of Ultima crushing him further and further into the earth.

A burst of magical energy erupted from Sephiroth, but the Ultima wrapped around him, engulfing him as his own magic expanded outward, only to be met with resistance by the Ultima's magic.

A huge explosion wracked the battlefield as the Ultima exploded.

In its wake Supernova burst outward, expanding several meters before also exploding.

Without waiting to see if his opponent still survived, Kefka raised his hand and dropped several meteors onto the spot where Sephiroth had been blasted.

The meteors slammed into the earth, further crushing it.

Without pause Kefka unleashed a blast of ice that froze the area utterly, before one more meteor storm that shattered and crushed the area.

As the smoke cleared, Kefka spotted Sephiroth's broken body lying on the ground.

"HAVOC WING!"

Rushing in, Kefka blasted the body with an energized charge, vaporizing it in an instant.

Battlefields will be saved for other game-based tournaments.

OR Weltal and Velius both stepped onto the battlefield, Velius accompanied by three demons who growled menacingly.

"BEGIN!"

The demons spread out, dark magic crackling in their hands as OR Weltal stood silent, Grahf watching them from inside the cockpit.

All three demons unleashed a dark holy attack at the gear, blasts of dark energy raining down on it.

OR Weltal remained immobile as the blasts slammed into it, not moving at all.

As the smoke cleared, the gear stood, completely unharmed.

The demons flew around the gear, preparing for another attack.

It's arms moving in a blur, OR Weltal grabbed two of them, crushing them in its immense fists. The third demon attempted to attack it with a blast of magical energy, but OR Weltal's left fist shot out and slammed into the demon, destroying it.

Velius grunted and raised its arms, a massive magic circle appearing before it.

A hulking cyclops burst from the ground and charged at the gear, grunting loudly.

OR Weltal waited until the last moment before unleashing a flurry of punches to its stomache, followed by one final blow through the chest.

Roaring in pain, the cyclops began to dissolve as OR Weltal rushed forward.

Dark magic flared around Velius, but OR Weltal easily punched down through the magic and crushed him.

When OR Weltal raised its fist, there was nothing left but a bloody smuge and a glowing stone.

if Grahf wins
i shall go crazy

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

Forgive me for not updating tonight. I was out celebrating the birthday of a very good friend. But I shall leave you with a thought.

Lucius Malfoy = Sephiroth.

[GunbladeMaster]

Sephiroths spirit still lingers on...
in our hearts...
in our games...
in our movies :evilking:

[raskerino]

delaying the finals, cruel... if this is allowed though I'm going to change my bet. Kefka has power but Grahf has incredible speed and hasn't been touched by a spell yet, I think he will be this round but he will definitely avoid some. He also can switch in and out of his gear (I don't remember) but I assume he has some abilities he hasn't used yet. If I can change my vote (which was a weird vote) I'd like to make it:

20,000 on Grahf (I hope this change doesn't lose me anything)

[Doomie]

31, 000

11,000 on Kefka.

[Mercen-X]

1,000,000 on Kefka

[Spatvark]

hmm, I wonder if I have this straight, since I'm new at this, I get 5000 to start with... and since this is the last match of THIS tournament, it's of no consequence if I lose...

All (5000) on Kefka =D?

[raskerino]

Money carries on to the next tournament so it does matter, but you will be given more.

[Spatvark]

My point is, if I lose, I still get 5k the next time I turn up, so I've not actually lost anything; I either keep my money or earn more.

[Rase]

If only that's how life worked...

Also, to Void, my total is 250,000 (220,000 + 30,000 from Kefka vs. Sephiroth). It's my fault, as I posted the bet most likely while you were posting the fight.

250,000

50,000 on Grahf.

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

Kefka flew high above OR Weltal, circling it as they prepared for battle.

"BEGIN!"

OR Weltal's wings shot out and it hurled itself into the air, verniers engaging as the massive gear shot towards Kefka.

"FIRAGA!"

Kefka's magic fire seemed to take on the shape of an elongated serpent as it rushed towards OR Weltal. The gear's arms shot forward as it accepted the flame attack, blocking it but not without some damage.

"THUNDAGA!"

The bolts of lightning also took on the form of a serpentine dragon head as they arced from Kefka's fingers and threw themselves at Grahf.

OR Weltal brought it's arms together and assumed the fetal position in the air, it's wings wrapping around its body. As the lightning struck, it began moving across the surface of the gear, shocking it all the while.

OR Weltal's wings snapped open and it's limbs extended, the lightning flying off of its body and dissipating harmlessly in the air.

"BLIZZAGA!" Kefka yelled, hurling a dragon of ice at OR Weltal.

OR Weltal seemed to blur and suddenly it was behind Kefka, dark ki energy gathering in its hands.

Bringing its hands forward, OR Weltal unleashed a burst of dark ki energy that took Kefka in the back of his wings and blasted him towards the ground.

Kefka stopped himself several feet from the ground and turned around, his eyes blazing.

Wiping a trickle of blood from his lip, he raised his hand. A swarm of meteors burst from the sky, hurling themselves at OR Weltal.

OR Weltal blurred once more as it dodged the meteors, it's arms crossed. However, one of the meteors managed to hit it square in the back, causing it to pitch forward slightly before righting itself.

Waving his hands Kefka unleashed hundreds of balls of flame that sped towards OR Weltal, scattering so as to make themselves harder to dodge.

OR Weltal shot forward at an incredible speed, the air around it howling as it sped past the balls of flame. The balls were extinguished within the vacuum OR Weltal's speed had created as it moved towards Kefka.

Kefka shot upwards, but he was nowhere near fast enough. OR Weltal's hand shot forward and punched Kefka, bringing his body downward, into the ground. A massive crater formed almost instantaneously as the force of the blow drove Kefka deep into the ground.

OR Weltal stood over the crater for a moment, grinding its fist further into the ground. In the next instant, however, it was up in the air again as a massive dome of blue magic began expanding outward, tearing up the ground as it grew larger until finally exploding in a burst of energy.

As the blue dome dissipated several bursts of dark ki shot towards the ground, exploding around where Kefka had unleashed his last spell.

As the dust cleared from the explosion several tainted angels shot from the ground and attached themselves to OR Weltal, dragging it downward and trying to absorb its energy.

OR Weltal's eyes flashed and a burst of dark ki shot outward, enveloping all of the angels and destroying them.

Kefka shot forward, rushing at OR Weltal with magic crackling in his hands.

OR Weltal burst forward as well, dark ki enshrouding it.

Kefka attacked first, unleashing three seperate elemental dragons at OR Weltal which arced around it in order to attack from all sides.

As the spells snaked around the gear its cockpit flew open and Grahf shot forward, unleashing a combination of punches and kicks on Kefka in midair before landing a final blow that sent Kefka flying towards the ground.

As the spells exploded around the gear Grahf landed on top of Kefka, driving his foot into Kefka's stomache. Without pausing he unleashed a vicious combination of punches and kicks, juggling Kefka's winged body in the air without giving him any time to respond. As Kefka tried vainly to incant a spell Grahf punched him in the face and slammed him into the ground before sending him upward and continuing his attacks.

Finally, Grahf landed a fierce knee to Kefka's back that sent him flying into the air, a snapping sound emanating throughout the stadium. Grahf seemed to vanish as he suddenly appeared above Kefka, launching another kick that sent him into the ground.

Grahf landed on Kefka with one final kick, crushing his heart and ribs.

Standing and turning his back on the broken body, Grahf moved towards the exit of the stadium, calling his battered gear to him as he went.
