Lincoln rolled to the side, narrowly dodging Marcus's blade. In a fluid motion he stabbed at Marcus's side. Though the man was quick and he pivoted to his right, retaliating with a slash at Lincoln's side. Lincoln jumped onto his feet and bowed backwards to avoid the slash. Lincoln steadied himself and pressed his attack. Slashing and jabbing Lincoln began to feel Marcus's defence weaken. With a final grunt Lincoln brought his blade down upon Marcus's shoulder. He let out a scream as the Master Sword lodge itself. Lincoln gave a strong kick, pushing Marcus back and loosening the blade. When the sword came free Lincoln took a rag out from his belt and wiped off the blood, then he turned to the king and kneeled.
Kadin stepped to the edge of the rock, he looked over to his opponent on the opposite end of the arena. The horn sounded and the two dove into the water below. Kadin stopped himself once he reached the bottom, he took off the spear from his back and steadied himself. His eyes scanned the dark water, his skin feeling for a change in the current. His back bristled and he turned, bringing his spear up in time to deflect a harpoon shot. Then the other Zora flew at him, swinging two daggers ferociously. Kadin blocked one dagger with his spear and lunged backwards to dodge the other. Then just as fast he shot forward thrusting his spear in front of him. The other Zora juked to his side dodging Kadin and brought down his dagger, catching Kadin's thigh. With a wince Kadin came to a stop. He turned to see the other Zora was already rushing him. Though this time Kadin had a plan. With great force, and pain, he pushed upwards. He looked downwards and saw the other Zora was gaining on him, but Kadin kept swimming up. Every kick of his leg he put all his strength, the rest of his body he kept tight forming a projectile- shape. Then he burst from the water, shooting into the air. He flipped around and saw the Zora below him, and smiled. As Kadin gave a mighty thrust of his spear as he came down, peircing the head of the Zora. Kadin removed the spear, and kicked the Zora away from him. He swam over to the rock and pulled himself onto it. Then he gave a Zoran salute to the king.
Micheal stamped his feet on the ring. Drakken did likewise. A voice spoke to their side, "Ready. Fight!" Then the two squared off. Circling each other the two studied the other. Each looking for a wrong move, a misstep, a wrong look. Michael saw his chance when Drakken stepped onto a loose pebble. To throw his balance off more Michael slapped him in the face. Then he threw his whole weight onto Drakken. Michael pushed with all of his strength, but Drakken was fighting with a fierce determination. For every ounce of effort to push Drakken off the ring Drakken matched. Then Michael slipped. Drakken took advantage and pushed Michael onto his back, then he quickly rolled him to the edge. Michael managed to shift he weight to his side and roll from the ledge, then he unfolded himself and lunged at Drakken. And with all of his strength sent Drakken out of the ring. Michael took a minute to recover and pounded his chest before the King.
Brett steadied an arrow, his back pressed against the stone arch he used as cover. He took several deep breaths and listened. Silence, the subrosion crowd made not a sound. He heard no footsteps to indicate where his target was. Raven was equipped with a boomerang and a dagger. Brett had his bow with bladed tips for close combat. Brett had the ranged advantage but Raven had the advantage of surprise. Brett continued listening, nothing, nothing, and then he heard it. A crunch of sand to his right. Brett made a mental image of how his shot would go before he stepped out from cover. With a pivot Brett had his bow drawn and was looking for Raven. It took him no more than a second to see the Subrosian, aim his bow and fire. The arrow whistled through the air, and with a fatal thud submerged itself in Raven. Brett watched as Raven fell to the ground. Then in a surge of triumph he threw his arm, bow and all, into the air. He turned to the King and did the Subrosion salute, a quick dance.
The King then repeated the line he used three times prior, "Ladies and Gentlemen, we have our hero!"
