Chapter 4 - The Preliminaries - 004

Zeros Domain Arc

- Ascension World Zero Fighting Arena; below the Guild Hall -

Zeke - Finally, after all that bull crap shopping. We can let loose and show off, right Bombshell?

Ignite - Couldn'ta said it better myself Windboy.

Raven - I've decided to step out for this battle, originally the battle was planned to be 2 on 2. But, that would be far too easy. And I wanna give the both of you a shot at Advanced.

Zeke - Pff, whatever- I wanna see what our challenge is. If I gotta fight with this timebomb I might as well know what I'm up against.

Ignite - Is thunderstorm yappin'? Cause that's what I heard.

Entering the room was none other than Xeb himself.

Xeb - You wanna be an Advanced right? Then show me you two weaklings can beat me.

Ignite - YOU'RE GONNA PAY FOR SAYIN' THOSE WORDS XEB.

Zeke - Don't get all mad, that's what he wants. You all in pissy mode and bent outta shape. Leaves an opening, lock in.

Ignite - Yea, almost lost myself there. Sure thing man.

Xeb - Soul Archer Pierce X99.

Zeke - Wind Sword parry.

Ignite - BOOM STICK OVERDRIVE DTYNAMITE ROCKETS 100,000.

Zeke - Couldn't figure a better name for that move?

The Arrows charged through Zeke's wind parry, sending him flying towards the other side of the arena. Ignite barely dodging, his attack having no affect.

Zeke - Makes sense, he's fast- and we can't really hurt his spirits now can we.

Ignite - SHRAPNEL BOMBS BURST.

Zeke - He just keeps dodging them, stop trying to hit him dead on man. That ain't gonna do anything.

Ignite - Shut up, you're just bent cause you got hit. Learn to dodge windyboy.

Xeb - Teammates arguing over who did what, hmmm. I see, this'll be over faster than I anticipated. Perfect for me, unfortunately- you 2 showed more promise in my original examination.

Ignite - YOU'RE GONNA BITE THOSE WORDS XEB. I'MA MAKE YOU FEEL THIS MAN.

Zeke - WIND STORM FLURRY.

Xeb - SOUL CHAIN COMBATANT STRIKE.

Zeke - GUHHHHHH...

Ignite - Reversal Shrapnel 44 Sticky Nades.

Xeb - HIGH ASCENDING HORSEMAN.

Ignite - *dammit* Jackoff, dodging me frickin moves. Grh-

Zeke - FOCUS BOMBSHELL, HE CAN'T FEND OFF BOTH OF OUR ATTACKS. TRUST ME ON THIS ONE.

Raven - An amusing fight indeed.

Zeke - LIGHTNING STORM GROUND STIKE.

Ignite - FRENZY OVERCHARGE GUNPOWDER PISTON; 172 BURST.

Xeb - GOLLUM ART SHADOW FIGURE SKY.

Zeke - HE DODGED THE ELEMENTS OF AIR AND GROUND WITH A DAMN MONSTER?

Ignite - STOP FUCKING AROUND AND FIGHT US HEAD ON.

In a moment notice both fists landed in each of the boys faces. Sending them flying to the edge of the arena. Hurdling towards the wall, the boys felt the stone and debris fall over them.

Zeke - GUHHHHHHHH.

Ignite - GAHHHHYUHH-

Xeb - YOU TWO DON'T STAND A CHANCE, YOU'LL NEVER BE ADVANCED WIZARDS AT THIS RATE. JUST GIVE UP, THIS IS PERFECTION- AIN'T NO GETTING OUT.

Raven - He isn't holding back, but that's not a bad thing. They'll never learn the gap if they don't see it for themselves.

Ignite - I AIN'T DONE DAMMIT. GAHHHHHHHHHHH-

Raven - His magical energy is skyrocketing. I knew he had it in him, now let's see if he can use it, or fail trying to maintain it.

Xeb - Finally, got the bombshell all pissed. Don't go boom on me now.

Zeke - WIND DEBRIS SMOKESCREEN.

Xeb - WHAT THE, HE SENT THE DEBRIS MY WAY TO BLOCK MY VISION. OH FUCK NO- SPIRIT SLASH CATALYST.

The debris cleared as Xeb looked to his feet, his eyes widened as he'd come to the realization... The boys had planned a focused attack. Before the fight had even begun.

(minutes prior)

Zeke - He's tough... *Guh* I got an idea- but you got a listen. I'm gonna screen him out, I need you to channel you're magic until then got it.

Ignite - I get it, yes I'm in.

(current)

Ignite - MINE FIELD ATLAS STRIKE.

Xeb - No way... My perfection... I couldn't have been bested like this...NOOOOOO-

The mines went off, a loud scream from the arena, as the room lit up blinding white. Smoke covered the field, within the confines, the smoke began to clear. Dust settling-

Raven - That was good boys, but it just wasn't enough.

From the smoke was Xeb, unscaved.

Zeke - H...how- I heard you're screams...

Ignite - No way...that was everything I had...

Xeb - When you set off the mines, I used a spell that would drain most of my magic. Soul Bond Force Field. I was able to negate the attacks at the price of my magic dropping substantially for the time being.

Ignite - NO...I...I gotta become an Advanced man.

Raven - It isn't you're time Iggy.

Xeb - Please, give up now.

Zeke - No way man, NO WAY.

Ignite - WE AIN'T GOIN' ANYWHERE.

In that moment Xeb had morphed in front of them, a fist to each of their stomachs, knocking the wind out of the boys. Sending them to the ground.

Xeb - Maybe next year Bombshell, Zeke. I really am sorry.

Raven - The preliminaries are concluded. No other members are willing to participate after that ferocious battle.
