"Welcome one and all to the final match of the Chiba Prefecture Qualifiers. The angel to win this battle will go on to the Kanto regionals!" The crowd roared in anticipation as the purple hued MC stalled for time as the two Deus' made final checks on their angels. Deft fingers checked joints and sharp eyes scrutinised any potential damage to the laminate-resin bodies. Neither Deus looked at each other till they sat in their elliptical chairs as they rose into position with their angels in their hands.

"Enter your angels!" The crowd went wild, playing to the MC's excitement.

"Ginryu, strike true and with purpose!" yelled the boy in the West corner, some of his spiked short hair falling over his visor. He regarded his opponent as his angel made its stoic entrance into the layer. She seemed over excited, probably didn't think she'd make it this far. He had to admit that, until the Qualifiers, he hadn't heard the name 'Fluorite' before. What a stupid name to enter the contest with, why didn't she just enter using her own name? He had: 'Suma'. Ginryu stood on the layer expectantly looking up at the girl and her angel, his crimson hakama and black kimono top blowing in the generated breeze.

Fluorite looked down at the waiting angel; he was wearing a helmet in the shape of a black dragons head, silver horns and moustache tendrils flowing out of the black. Blue eyes paid special attention to the clawed gloves on the small hands.
"Even if you fall you'll raise again, Pheonix!" East corner called out cheerfully, how she could see with her blonde tendrils practically obscuring the visor was a mystery to the boy. Ignoring the Dues, his scarlet eye took in the small angel.

The angel Pheonix's hair was split into three colours, a vibrant blue at the tips and was orange-red for the most part, but blue and red were separated by a yellow layer. Her dress was a simple light blue but had an intricate white pattern. He couldn't see from his high perch but the pattern took the form of a phoenix and wrapped around her body. Her sleeves seemed to be separate from her dress; they were the same blue but faded to white the further down they went. They were much longer than her arms.

"With both competitors on the layer, we can't hold them back any longer! It's time for Angelic Fight!" The cheers rose as the MC called for the fight to begin.

Ginryu made a swift run towards the lighter angel, swiping at her with his claws when he got in reach, and as if floating, Pheonix silently dodged the talons. Without stopping, Ginryu pivoted on small geta and kicked at the colourful girl, who yet again dodged.

Suma was slowly getting annoyed, not that he let it show. Aren't you even going to try and strike back Fluorite? He changed tactics, running circles around the innocent looking Pheonix who just stood there wide eyed, her blonde Dues watching with a careful smile.

Ginryu suddenly jumped into the air, obscuring himself in the bright arena lights, swinging his heal down perfectly aimed to connect dead centre with Pheonix's head.

The crowd went silent.

Pheonix was standing on the other side of the layer smiling politely at Ginryu. She waved.

Even the MC is speechless; the buzzer goes for the first half.

"…Whoa! What an amazing first half! Despite Ginryu's best effort, Pheonix has come out without a scratch on her. What will Ginryu's strategy be for the second half?!" The crowd was half mad with excitement! This was the first time that an entire round had passed without a single hit taking place!

The second round started and soon Pheonix's movements began to make sense when she finally went to strike Ginryu. As a light weight class, she'd have a better chance of knocking her opponent off the layer when they were close to the edge. Ginryu darted away before she had the chance to get close enough to reach him. Ginryu was a medium weight class, so knocking him off the layer wouldn't have been out of the question.
Suma made sure to keep in as close to the centre as possible.

Coming down to the final minute of the second round, both Ginryu and Pheonix were trying their hardest to make contact with the other, to at least knock enough points off the other in order to be the winner.

5…4…3…2

The buzzer sounded. Neither angel had landed a hit… The now rabid crowd was screaming out the name of the angel they favoured hoping they would win just because they wanted it so.

For a moment the MC said nothing, his finger was pushed against his ear piece.
"A-Amazing!" Again the crowd roared.
"Not a single hit was landed! Both of you will be going to the Kanto finals!"

"What?!" Suma growled. He knew both winner and runner up went to the Kanto games but there were rankings that needed to be known. How could you win a game when you don't even hit your opponent? It had to be breaking the rules... but then again he did consult his earpiece. The fans didn't seem to care one way or the other, and Fluorite seemed to be more excited than she was before. Suma rolled his eyes at her, not that she would have seen it.

"Suma!" the blonde came running up to him after the match "Thank you for a great match" she beamed.
"I don't consider it a match, dodging like that looks more like dancing" he replied gruffly.
"Boo, Boo Suma!" she pouted "I thought that we had a great match…er.. dance?"
Suma looked Fluorite up and down, she was wearing a high neck sleeveless top with long baggy arm warmer type sleeves and shorts that could only just be seen under her top.
"...Are you wearing enough pink?" Suma squinted at the outfit. Fluorite pouted for a second but smiled again
"Silly, Suma. This is Lilac, Lilac and gold!" he giggled, Suma stared at him in disbelief.

"…Okay.. I'm leaving now, good bye." He turned to leave hoping that he wouldn't have to talk to her during the Kanto games.
"Suma! What's your name?! I'm Fai D. Fluorite!" Suma paused. That was her real name… she's got to be joking. Without turning around Suma replied.
"Suma, Kurogane"
"Bai Bai Kuro-chan!" Kurogane spun on the spot to see Fai waving idiotically at him before running off.

Kurogane felt the urge to kill.
