Chris vs. Clarisse.

A man with black hair shortly cut, almond coloured eyes, sharp chin and nose, stood opposite a woman with string dirty blond hair, brown eyes and a tall stature.

Chris Rodriguez and Clarisse Le Rue stood opposites. Both wanted the trophy but nether wanted to fight each other. They were dating for several years now, growing very close.

Immediately Chris perked up, "You know this could actually be helpful to our relationship. You know releasing the pent up anger we usually keep."

Clarisse let out a small chuckle. "Boy when did you get smart."

A sleek smile crept onto his face brining a small glint of mischief to his eyes. "Enough talk let's fight."

He drew his sword glinting in the sunlight, about two feet long. She drew raised her spear made wholly from celestial bronze so that it never breaks.

The ceremonial horn blew, reverberating across the ring and stands. The ever increasing crowd began to lean forward eager for another adrenalin fuelled match.

The scar from the previous battle had sort of become the separating line between them.

Clarisse and Chris started to circle each other. Clarisse was the first to act, she leapt into the sky striking from the sun like a hawk on a hare. She struck the earth blowing a red electric wave from her impact zone. Flinging Chris to the ground, he coughed and readied himself for the charge Clarisse was predictably doing.

He leapt to the side, and tripped Clarisse, she hit the ground dropped her spear but continued with a forward roll, meanwhile unsheathing the dagger from her boots. Coming out of her roll she turned; threw her dagger at Chris and slid a few feet.

A *thunk* was heard as the dagger planted itself in Chris's shoulder.

"O my soul! Chris you okay?" She rushed over grabbing him by the other shoulder, he nodded, Clarisse made a time-out sign and called one of the Apollo campers over.

The Apollo camper took the knife out and gave him some nectar.

When his wound had healed. Clarisse called time back in.

They stood at odds again.

The horn blew again and the fight resumed.

Chris using his abilities was able to close the 50 foot gap in less than 3 seconds. Clarisse befuddled by the speed of Chris didn't raise her spear in time.

Her spear was sent flying, as Chris swatted it aside. Clarisse pushed him back causing him to roll and back flip to his feet.

Clarisse drew her sword. A two handed five foot blade meant to kill in a single blow.

Chris slammed the jewel on the bottom of his sword; his sword slid open extending by a foot and a half and a longer grip. From a normal arming sword to a basterd sword, he was no capable to fight Clarisse.

She charged bringing a heap full of pain to the defending hands of Chris which narrowly blocked her. He delivered a swift elbow to her face reeling her backwards. She stumbled; blocked Chris's right swing and started to lash out. An over head strike, blocked; a left swing, blocked; a X-swing thrust combo. Which tore through his guard slicing but only glancing off his armour.

He was lucky sidestepping her final thrust he got the opportunity to put his sword on her right shoulder right up to her neck.

She scrunched her eyes, a look of concentration cover her face. A soft click was heard and Chris's sword folded in on itself, returning to its two foot long mode.

She elbowed him in the ribs. Tipping him over, she swiped her sword to just above his throat.

"I concede!" He splurted out. The horn blew again, the crowed cheered, satisfied by the fight they just saw.

She dropped her sword and helped Chris up, " Good game, Chris almost had me." She smirked pulling her hair behind her ear.

"What did you do to my sword?" He was mad at her, never expected Chris to be the sore loser kind.

"O just a child of Ares power." She giggled.
