My coliseum was coloured silver and gold and Rai stood at the opposite end… hm this can be quite fun! I whipped out the chains and attacked ASAP. He hesitated as the spinning blades came closer to him. He finally let out a battle cry and held his ground with his gauntlets and then charged at me, this is more like it! He didn't know that my blades can hit backwards as well! The cutting sound came closer and closer but he didn't stop charging! He slid past me and punched the ground with his right arm! The air seemed to be getting hotter and as I tried to escape a hand made of rock emerged and captured I and the blades weren't stopping!
"Focus" A voice yelled in my head and I stared at the blades while trying to run away… The blades moved away from me and started attacking Rai at the last minute! "There yah go…" I continued to send the blades after him! Wait was this… telepathy? "Telekinesis actually" I tried talking to the voice but it was gone. Anyway the hand crumbled into sand and I was free! I charged at him and kicked him from the front, while the blades hit him from the flanks… and that forces him away! I kept this up until he was against the wall! "Nyx" I summoned her and readied a close range Mudo!
He smiled at the last moment and smashed his fist into the wall and it broke down! He dodged the hit and was behind me! A short sword emerged from one of the gauntlets and aimed at my neck! This battle is… getting much better! "Hemera" I switched over and made barriers to protect myself from his onslaught… right… now! His arm went to stab himself! It worked! But I'm getting tired… "Pulse" Rai summoned forth his persona and the arm redirected and he was launched forward like a rocket!
I did my best to dodge but I took some damage to my side… what was happening? His gauntlets started to glow and became a white blade! It had several words on it but they disappeared and were replaced with a new one "Benevolence" he hesitantly swung the sword at me as I rolled away… but my movements were getting slower… was the sword sapping my will to fight? That is such a cheap shot! I then felt power in me… different from Nyx and Hemera… like emptiness something older… "Whoa stop there!" Philemon's voice rang and I collapsed and found Rai and I back at the dining table.

Rex was at the other side of the coliseum, this one was dark blue and violet mixed together… he took out what resembled a toy like gun and then inserted a card into it… "Oh no, no, no this card is!" He grasped at his head and groaned… he then had glasses on, and his axe turned into a fishing pole and or spear! "Omae boku ni tsuraretemiru? He smiled and then came closer to me and I hit him away. Oh my… he started flirting like mad and it's hard to fight all that seriously against this guy!
I started juggle gunning at him to keep him away but he just used his spear to spin and deflect the bullets! He swung it while I had to reload and it acted as a fishing pole and capture me! He stabbed the ground and strapped me to it! He then smiled and took out a different card… "Kiva" the unsettling feeling was gone as his gun thingy spoke. He then had an armored right leg! He had a bat thing bite him and it spoke "Wake up"! Rex kicked the sand on the ground and it became night time! The moon was changing phases! He leapt up and took a bat stance mid air! He started plummeting down and his leg became a red vampire like bat design! **** He was seriously going to hit me from that height!
I swore every word I knew… wait… totally forgot about Fenrir! I took out the card and smashed it in my hands! The huge wolf broke the pole and took the kick head on! I fired bullets rapidly at the Rex but he just kicked them away with his foot! He then inserted a new card and he looked worried… "Mr. Thriller" the gun spoke again and Rex looked as confused as I was about the effects… well it made him dance almost every Michael Jackson dance move possible. The singing was perfect too… he snapped his fingers and back up dancers appeared out of nowhere! What was going on!

Zanosuke stood on the other end… the whole coliseum was dark and you could hear a pin drop… I was still a bit distraught but… I have to fight right? Zano summoned forth a black cloud that merged with his sword. "Don't worry this will be over quick" and he swung and roared "Heat wave" Oh geez like it wasn't hot enough already! OK I snapped. I yelled and swung my scythe at high speeds to create a mini gale and defused his attack. I smashed my mask and summoned Pale rider! "I' am a reaper of death! I'll be taking your soul!"
"Killer winds!" I swung the scythe and the air bended into a blade, he dodged and the shock wave appeared on the wall. I charged at him and attacked vertically, he parried with his katana and it happened really fast… he was behind me! My scythe broke! I quickly redirected Pale rider to attack with all his strength at Zano, Rider blasted mudos on the way but he side stepped each one. "I will become stronger then death!" He declared and stopped Pale rider with one hand! He ducked and slid across the ground afterwards and my persona returned to me!
"Give up girl… I'm sorry but you're not strong enough yet… maybe in a few years?" I rose what remained of my scythe and tried to plunge the stake like pole at him but he pointed to the sky and I looked… thunder clouds? "I win. I can make everyone of those clouds attack you at once… so give up, it's checkmate". It then turned back to the dining hall again.

Hic… hehehe… that juice was nice… Bang! That West guy was shooting in the air… he was annoying… I feel sleepy… "Don't worry we'll fight instead…" I sleep now.
(Pretty much everyone who has completed their fights already more or less thought this in the following events)
West and Sayuki entered the room again. Wow… West was… covered in lip stick kisses; claw and sword marks… dog bites… etc. Really I wondered what must have happened out there…

Kaze was different… he was acting weird… "When the world ends… you are lucky enough to survive…" He rushed at me and thrusted his spear at me rapidly and made cuts on my cheeks! What the hell! I dodged and I took Gram from the sack… which then turned into a sheath for Gram… well that's useful… oh crap forgot to pay attention! Kaze made a real powerful attack that would have killed me if I didn't block in time. "Aeon plus blue" my phone was ringing and I strapped the blue ribbon to my arm instinctively! I grabbed his spear and threw him back a few meters!
"Resolve: Guardian" Gram became two swords! Then a shield covered the hilt area of it and merged with my arms! Metal armour emerged over my body and a dragon like helmet appeared and stuck to my head! Kaze snarled and started yelling curses… he then came at me and continued to attack as if he was insane! "Follower" I stabbed myself with the dagger and summoned him. He had changed too! He was a large armoured knight with a colossal blade in his arms! He blocked the attack and flung Kaze into a wall with one hit!
(Now I need a vote on whether I should do any of the non OC fights… your choice though. Also I can expect the first chapter of web comic version in two or three weeks. I'll PM you guys when it gets done.)
