I figured he wouldn't be able to blow up the solar system, no worries, it was just to show how badass he is. ;)

Although one might consider both a giant fireball that destroys planets, and a sword that falls into the ground and re emerges as whatever many hundered of smaller swords that can be controled with the mind stupidly overdone. That being said, it would be nice to see seph get trounced ;)
6k on Byakuya Kuchiki
I'll say 1k on Byakuya
I'll bet 50,000 on Byakuya Kuchiki.

I'm unfamiliar with this Byakuya character, but since everyone is going with him, I'll bet 1500 on him.
I write these things at like 1:00 AM. Quiet you.Quote:

Two figures stood at opposite ends of a huge, stark metal room. One was a tall man with long, silver hair. He wore a black leather trench coat, pants, and shirt, and on either shoulder were strips of plated steel. Behind him trailed one huge black wing, which was folded neatly at his back. His hands were covered in black gloves, and in his left hand he held a massive odachi, its blade glinting in the bright fluorescent lights. The blade was easily taller than him, by at least half a foot if not one a whole foot. His eyes were cold, and blazed with a hatred for all living things.
The other was a fairly tall man, although just a few inches shy of the first. His eyes were equally cold, although within them were held immeasurable amounts of pride. He had long black hair that was held in place by a white hairclip on the front of his head. He wore a black shihakusho, over which he wore a white haori emblazoned with the kanji for the number "six" on its back. Around his neck was a long, silken white scarf and over either hand were two white cloth gauntlets. In his right hand was clasped a katana, its guard two rectangles, one around the blade and another attached to the inner guard by four strips of metal, one on each side, connecting them.
High above the room was a control panel, at which sat Yagami Light, casually fiddling with the various buttons and knobs.
"The next battle is between Sephiroth and Kuchiki Byakuya," Light said. "Begin."
Byakuya seemed to vanish in the blink of an eye. In the next instant, Sephiroth's back exploded with blood as he whirled around, arcing his blade in a vicious arc. Sparks flew as the two blades clashed, Byakuya barely having stopped the attack. While Byakuya had managed to pierce Sephiroth's back once, Sephiroth's reaction was instantaneous, forcing Byakuya to guard himself.
Byakuya vanished again and this time Sephiroth released a wave of fire which expanded out from his body and continued outward.
Several mounted laser turrets animated as this was happening, and began firing lasers around the room. This, however, was short-lived as the flame brought a swift end to them, melting them instantly.
As the flames expanded outward, a calm voice could be heard.
"Hadou #4. Byakurai."
A beam of white light lanced through the air, parting the flames. Sephiroth seemed to blur as he warped out of the way and the beam slammed into the wall, leaving a wide hole in it.
Before the flames could reform, another gaping hole appeared in Sephiroth's back as Byakuya once again vanished from sight. This time, however, Sephiroth's attack met nothing but air as Byakuya quickly moved out of reach.
Sephiroth's eyes were blazing now. His head whirled as the flames cleared, catching sight of Byakuya standing calmly to his right, casually taking out another blaster that had been preparing to fire at him with a quick slash of his sword.
The air around Sephiroth grew dark as black energy welled up around him.
"Descend..." he hissed.
"Bakudou #61. Rikujōkōrō"
Sephiroth's sentence was cut off by a cry of rage as six beams of light slammed into his body, immobilizing him.
With a howl of rage, Sephiroth broke free, the beams shattering and dissipating into the air.
In the next instant Byakuya's sword appeared, the tip piercing his right breast. Roaring with rage, Sephiroth unleashed four spiraling pillars of flame from his body.
Once again, Byakuya seemed to vanish as he retreated out of the way, but this time his blade seemed to shatter as it broke off into pink flecks of metal.
Sephiroth's chest seemed to explode with blood as the flecks tore out of him and began swirling through the air before being caught up in the flames.
Byakuya seemed to appear and disappear several times as he deftly dodged the pillars of flame. As the pillars smashed into the wall and dissipated, Byakuya raised his empty hilt and his katana blade reformed as the pink flecks quickly gathered and took its shape again.
Now bleeding profusely, Sephiroth's shoulders seemed to slump. His skin began moving, as if something were inside it trying to get out. His wing stretched out as several more began to grow. His limbs twisted and elongated, leaving only his torso and face intact as his body began mutating.
Sephiroth was now surrounded by two halos. His hair was billowing and his lower torso seemed comprised entirely of wings.
Byakuya's eyes widened slightly at Sephiroth's new appearance.
"FLARE!" Sephiroth screamed, his voice now guttural and distorted.
A massive ball of magic burst from Sephiroth's palm. Byakuya's expression showed clear shock as the magic swept over him.
When it cleared, Byakuya was slouched against the wall, blood running down several wounds on his body. In his hand he clutched the empty hilt of his blade, as he had used the shards to shield himself and defend himself from the brunt of the blow. As the blade reformed, Byakuya turned it toward the ground, and dropped it.
"Bankai." he said coldly.
Two rows of large sword blades rose behind him. The blades were numerous, it was impossible to count.
"Chire (Scatter)," Byakuya said. "Senbonzakura Kageyoshi (Vibrant Display of the Thousand Cherry Blossoms)."
The blades broke off into countless pink shards of metal and began swarming around Byakuya.
The blades swept forward, sweeping over Sephiroth's body. Sephiroth roared in rage as he unleashed another flare spell.
Some of the blades detached and formed a wall around Byakuya. As the flare slammed into them, it pushed against them for a moment before dispersing, leaving Byakuya more or less unharmed.
Sephiroth unleashed a burst of black energy at the blades. The energy blast was so big it nearly enveloped the wall. The blades were easily cast aside by the blast as it hit the wall, disintegrating a huge part of it.
As the dust cleared, there was no trace of Byakuya. The blades were wafting listlessly in the air, direction-less.
As Light took a breath to declare Sephiroth the winner, the blades suddenly animated again, spiraling forward in intricate patterns and raking across Sephiroth's body, leaving huge gashes all over him.
Byakuya stepped out of the shadows from behind Sephiroth, his arm extended as he wove patterns with his fingers, patterns his blades followed.
"SUPER NOVA!" Sephiroth howled.
A ball of flame began expanding outward from Sephiroth, increasing in size as it expanded.
Byakuya's feet began moving forward as the attack began developing a strong gravitational pull, sucking him forward.
Several of the blades were pulled into the flames, but through force of will Byakuya was able to wrench most of them back around him, creating a swirling globe around him.
The flames expanded further, enveloping the ball of blades and continuing to move outward. As it reached the outer limits of the wall, it kept moving, forcing Light to quickly vacate the premise lest he be caught in the attack.
As it reached its apex, the ball exploded in a wave of ferocious flame.
As the dust cleared, the entire area was destroyed and the two were now out in the open. The blades could be seen swirling around Byakuya. Their color had changed, they were now white as they formed into a huge white throne with protruding angel wings. Many other blades condensed in Byakuya's hand to form a long blade.
"Shuukei Hakuteiken (Final Scene: White Imperial Sword)" Byakuya said, as he suddenly sprang forward. Sephiroth whirled just in time for the blade to pierce his heart. With an earth-shaking scream, Sephiroth clawed at Byakuya weakly, the halo deflecting his attack. Blood poured from his body and his shoulders slumped.
Byakuya's eyes narrowed, and his sword and halo exploded into tiny blades once more, tearing through Sephiroth's body. Sephiroth screamed once more as his body began to dissolve.
Byakuya landed lightly on his feet, as the blades came together again and condensed into his katana once more, just as Sephiroth's body finished dissolving into nothingness.
Overhead, the sound of a helicopter could be heard.
"Kuchiki Byakuya is the winner," Light said through a head-mounted microphone.

The second battle is between Ridley and Asakura Ryoko. It will take place in the Zanarkand Ruins. The fight will be posted either Saturday or Sunday (or maybe a touch later, due to Penny Arcade Expo). Betting will be open until that time.
Eegh... tough call. Both are powerful and both have a good shot, but I'm gonna bet on Ridley underestimating Ryoko due to her appearance, and bet a cautious 70,000 on Asakura Ryoko.
Cool battle, at least Sephiroth put up a good fight. :thumb:
Does Ryoko have any powers at all? Her wiki article doesn't mention any.
Ryoko can exert control over the data of the area in which she is fighting, bending it to her will. The longer she remains in an area, the more her domain expands, allowing her to control objects and even people within it. Her physical capabilities are also much enhanced.
Essentially, she's not as strong as Nagato Yuki, but her abilities are in the same vein.
