The Sun roses, as it shifted to the Arena. The battlefield shimmered under the rising sun. Crowds roared, banners flew, and the air pulsed with anticipation. Aria Ling and Rika stood face to face in the center of the arena. Dust swirled around their feet. The tension was mythic.
At the Grand Throne, Emperor Void ling sat tall, his gaze fixed on her daughter. Beside him: Blaze Vortex, Asuna, Revy, King Ryder, King Kaito, and Queen Celeste. Seraphina Ling sat with Kaia, Liana, and Celestina. Glacior, Kai, and Takashi leaned forward from their seats, eyes locked on the arena. Both sitting different sides.
Kaia:
(Smirking)
"Looks like your husband's getting a deal of this, Celestina."
Celestina:
(Rolling her eyes)
"Nah. My husband doesn't even care about this stuff."
At the Grand Throne, voices stirred. And Asuna spoke.
Asuna:
(Smiled)
"Can't wait for your daughter to fight Emperor."
Revy:
(Nodding)
"The same goes for me too."
King Ryder:
(To Void ling)
"Your daughter's about to make history, my lord."
Blaze Vortex:
(Elbowing Void ling)
"You nervous?"
Void ling:
(Calm, unreadable)
"She knows what she's doing."
Referee Ryuu raised his hand. And spoke.
Ryuu:
(Voice booming)
"Let the match...begin!"
Aria surged forward. Rika matched her. Fists collided--Shockwaves cracked the battlefield.
Asuna:
(Eyes wide)
"Amazing! Didn't know your daughter was this strong, Emperor Void ling..."
Void ling:
(Watching intently)
"She's only begun to show it."
Back at the battlefield of the arena. Rika spoke.
Rika:
(Grinning)
"Hope you don't regret stepping in."
Aria Ling:
(Steady)
"I wont."
Rika stand in position and smirked and then slammed the ground with her fists-- and then Aria stumbled.
Rika:
(Confidently)
"Got you now."
Aria:
(Dodging)
"No you don't."
She surges forward and then teleported at Rika's back--and then launches a powerful blow sending Rika across the arena.
Rika:
(Growling)
"Why you---!"
Aria:
(Aura rising)
"I ain't done yet Rika!."
And then she called forth her armies. Twenty Darkness Armies erupted from the shadows of void
Rika:
(Stunned)
"What...is that?"
At the Grand Throne--Blaze and all the Kings and the Emperor looks amazed and then spoke
Blaze:
(To Void ling, amused)
"Looks like your daughter inherited your army trick...just shorter."
Void ling:
(Smiling faintly)
"She's learning."
Blazion Vortex:
(Eyes gleaming)
"Amazing...i didn't know Aria could do this!"
Back at the Arena-- The Armies surged forward. One fired a beam of dark energy--but Rika streches her hand and destroyed it instantly, shocking Aria
Rika:
(Calmly)
"Illusion Manipulation."
Aria blinked. Her armies vanished. Confusion set in. And Aria spoke.
Aria:
(Whispering to herself)
"Something's not right...I activated my armies minutes ago. Now they're gone...is this her power?"
Rika:
(Mocking)
"Can't figure it out, can you?"
At the Bleachers of the spectators, Liana turned to Seraphina and then spoke.
Liana:
(To Seraphina)
"Hey, Seraphina. Isn't that the power of your husband possesses?"
Seraphina:
(Nodding)
"The Armies yes. But Void ling's version is infinite."
Back at the battlefield--Aria spoke with frustration.
Aria:
(Frustrated)
"This is obnoxious."
Rika:
(Charging)
"If you won't attack, then I will."
She surges forward and punched Aria in the stomach-- multiple times and Aria dropped to her knees, coughing. The crowd roared. In the Grand throne. Asuna spoke
Asuna:
(Worried)
"This is bad."
Void ling:
(Then his eyes glowed in purple)
"She's manipulating Aria's vision and surroundings...Making her believe her armies are gone. Clever strategy."
Blaze:
(Glancing over)
"You're worried about your daughter, aren't you?"
Void ling:
(Serious)
"She'll find a way."
King Ryder:
(Serious and whispering to himself)
"Hmmm. She's completely erased Aria's vision and surroundings, as she is unable to contact her armies. By manipulating her sight, and all her senses
Glacior:
(To Kai and Takashi)
"Hey guys, do you realize Lord Void ling daughter can't survive. She's completely blanked."
Takashi:
(Nodding)
"Absolutely."
Back at the battlefield, Aria stood. Her aura exploded outward--dark energy rippled across the arena.
Aria:
(Voice rising)
"I won't lose this battle!"
Rika:
(Smirking)
"Do you really thi---"
Before she could finished, Aria surged forward and punched Rika in the stomach, sending her crashing to the ground painfully. At the Bleachers Blazion jumped overjoyed and spoke.
Blazion Vortex:
(Jumping up)
"Yeah!! That's my Aria!"
Glacior:
(Grinning)
"Huh...hey Blazion, do you like Aria?"
Blazion:
(Stutters and blushed)
"Oh--nahh..."
Glacior brushes it off. At the Battlefield. The Illusion shattered. Aria saw her armies still standing in confusion.
Aria:
(Whispering)
"So that's why...she manipulates my surroundings and my vision making me believe it."
Aria:
(Raising her hand)
"Go, my soldiers!"
The armies roared and surges forward, striking Rika. Completely overwhelm her and then Rika collapsed on her knees and fall to ground
Ryuu:
(Raising his hand)
"Rika is down--Absolutely down! The winner is Aria Ling!"
Void ling:
(Smirking, voice proud)
"Alright!!!"
Asuna, Revy, and King Ryder:
(In unision)
"GOOD JOB!!!!"
Void ling:
(Nodding)
"Indeed she is."
Aria:
(Running to her seat to sit where blazion)
"I did it, Dad!"
Void ling:
(Smiling)
"Well done."
Aria returned to her seat, triumphant. The crowd still roared. The arena shifted. Shadows danced and retreated. NEXT UP BLAZION VS CLARA. Aria returned to the stands, her aura still faintly glowing from victory. She walked over to where Blazion sat, his eyes locked on the battlefield ahead.
Aria:
(Smiling)
"Mind if I sit here?"
Blazion:
(Grinning)
"You earned it. Good job, Aria."
Aria:
(Blushing slightly)
"Thanks."
They fist-pumped, a quiet bond sealed in motion. Both smiled at each other--no words needed.
Aria:
(Encouraging)
"Go and do your thing, Blazion. I believe in you."
Blazion:
(Standing, voice steady)
"Alright. Time to show them what fire looks like."
He walked down toward the battlefield, his aura energy so powerful that even the battlefield shooked Ryuu stood at the center of the arena, arms raised.
Ryuu:
(Calling out)
"Are you both ready?"
Blazion and Clara:
(In unison)
"Ready."
At the Grand Throne, they observed and then spoke.
Void ling:
(To blaze)
"Looks like your son is about to face Ryuu's daughter."
Blaze:
(Smirking)
"Let's see how much of me he really carries."
Asuna:
(Leaning forward)
"This match might be even more explosive than the last."
King Ryder:
(Nodding)
"Two bloodlines forged in fire and shadow. This will be one to remember."
At the Girls section, Celestina spoke with proudness.
Celestina:
(Shouting with pride)
"Go and win, Clara! I belive in you!"
Kaia:
(Sighing teasing)
"Celestina...yelling won't help. Let your daughter do her thing."
Seraphina:
(Smiling)
"Let her cheer. It's a mother's right."
Back at the battlefield. The clash was about to begin as they both got prepared
Clara:
(Smirked)
"Hope you're ready.
Blazion:
(Grinning)
"Ready when you are."
They surged forward--fists clashing, blow by blow. The air tensed, vibrating with raw energy. Each strike echoed like thunder. The crowd leaned in, breath held. The fire heir and the starlight daughter had begun.
The crowd roared as Blazion and Clara clashed fists mid--air, teleporting left and right in bursts of speed. Each impact cracked the air, sending shockwaves through the battlefield
Clara:
(Smirked)
"You're fast...but not fast enough."
She throws a punch--Blazion blocked it with ease, his arm glowing red--hot. He countered with blazing fist, flames trailing behind the strike.
Blazion:
(Voice sharp)
"Let's turn up the heat "
His punch connected--Clara was sent crashing into the ground, dust and embers rising around her.
Clara:
(Coughing, rising)
"Not bad...but I'm not done yet."
Blazion:
(Smirking)
"Good. I was hoping you'd say that."
Clara's eyes shimmered with violet light. She activates her ability. The Mind bend. The air around Blazion distorted, reality bending at the edges.
Clara:
(Surging forward)
"Let's see how well you fight when your thoughts aren't your own."
Blazion:
(Staggered slightly)
"You're trying to twist my mind...but you forgot something."
His eyes began to glow--bright red with flickered of gold. The flames didn't burn skin--they burn perception."
Blazion:
(Voice deepening)
"With this ability. I can see through any material... and detect life forces even across all dimensions. I call this Burning Vision. Now tell me, do you think a mere illusion is gonna work on me?"
At the Grand throne--they all reacted to power ups of both of them and they spoke
Void ling:
(To blaze)
"He unlocked it... The Vision that sees beyond reality. Looks like Blaze your son has mastered what you could've mastered."
Blaze:
(Grinning)
"That's my son for ya."
King Ryder:
(Whisper to himself and looked at Void ling)
"An ability to see across all dimensions, hmm. Not even his father had that. But Emperor Void ling did. his is on another level, being able to see across triplets futures and infinite timelines... he was definitely born different, wasn't even his dream to become and Emperor of this Universe and to protect threat across all Multiverses. What a being he is."
