Kyria slowly walked towards the center of the arena, annoyed by the cheering going on around her. Daliha did the same opposite her but seemed to become even more excited and energized by their cheers.

"Fight!" Chiron shouted as soon as both girls were ready. Daliha immediately jumped backward, flinging two arrows at her opponent as she ran to the south side of the sandy arena. Kyria, using her telekinesis to split the arrows apart in midair, wasn't fazed by her sudden antics, ask she sent two fireballs spiraling in the direction of the daughter of Tyche. Daliha dodged to the left, missing one of the fireballs by a hair. Kyria's eyes started glowing, a symbol of her using her magic, right before Daliha doubled over and started vomiting. Kyria lifted her palm, which had also started glowing, and used her telekinesis to fling Daliha across the arena, the young daughter of Tyche barely missing the remnants of Michael's broken sword from the previous match. Kyria frowned. She was sure she had thrown Daliha against the sword. Daliha stood up, still wobbly, and shot an arrow at Kyria's general direction. By sheer luck, it managed to slip past her guard while she was distracted and pierce her left shoulder. Kyria growled under her breath and used her powers to fling the arrow back at Daliha. She once again dodged and shot another arrow, but this time, she was ready. Kyria once again split the arrow in half with her telekinesis before using the Mist to make it seem like they were suddenly in a maze with stone walls. Daliha jumped as soon as walls sprung up around her, glancing warily around her once she landed on the ground before doubling over and vomiting once again. She shakily stood up, leaning against one of the walls for support. Suddenly, the wall disappeared, dropping Daliha into a room full of Giant Huntsman spiders. Daliha immediately tried to go back through the wall she had just fallen through, but it had sealed up behind her. All of the spiders, simultaneously sensing her, turned in her direction and started scuttling towards her. Turning around, she stopped dead in her tracks, paling, and for the third time in less than five minutes, she once vomited all over the ground. Once Daliha had regained her breath, she pulled out her bow and started shooting the seemingly endless amount of spiders. However, her efforts soon became futile, and the spiders overran her, wrenching the bow out of her hands and pinning her to the ground. One that had happened, the walls slowly turned back into Mist, curling around Daliha and the spiders before disappearing. The spiders crawled off of her face, allowing her to see Kyria's form clearly. Kyria leaned over Daliha's stuck body, looking at the pitiful form.

"Everything I make is real enough to hurt you," Kyria said, a bloody tear tracing down her cheek before letting the spiders bite.

Daliha's screams could be heard all around camp as the spiders dug their fangs into her flesh, prompting huge amounts of pain and swelling to occur all around her body. After several minutes of bloodcurdling screams, Daliha finally fell unconscious, putting an end to the battle.

The stadium was dead silent, only interrupted by the crying of a few younger campers.

"Well. Kyria wins." Chiron said solemnly, looking at the field with tiredness in his eyes.

The Apollo campers ran onto the field and took Daliha away on a stretcher. Meanwhile, Kyria had already flown back up to her seat, except now people were giving her a wide berth.

"Next match! Chiron said, attempting to get everyone's mind off of what had just happened.

"Nicolas Jones and Jack Grace!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~This is for updating late~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Nicolas jumped down from the stands, landing in a crouch as he hit the ground. The Ares/Mars cabin let out a cheer as he raised his fisted hands, looking out over the crowd. Jack, on the other hand, was just sitting on the arena floor, waiting for Nick to ready his weapons. Nick soon got ready, and Jack stood to his feet and took the gold coin out of his pocket before setting it in his palm. Nick laughed at the sight.

"What are you going to do? Bribe me to lose?"

A smattering of laughter could be heard in the crowd, but Jack only smiled.

"Watch this," He said before balancing the coin on his forefinger.

The whole stadium seemed to hold its breath as Jack flicked it and it turned into a pilum before Jack grabbed it and spun around, treating it like a Bo staff as he flipped it all around his torso and pointed it at Nick when he was done. Nick grunted, impressed, before he slung his Waraxe off of his shoulders, slamming it into the ground and causing a giant split to appear on the earth. Both massively built boys faced each other. Jack, being 6"1" 235lbs, and Nick, being 6'3" 250lbs.

"Fight!" Chiron shouted, prompting another round of cheers.

Nick and Jack both rushed at each other before Nick swung vertically, causing Jack to put the pilum at an angle, causing a huge amount of sparks to fly off as the giant weapon slid off of the pole. Jack immediately tried to counterattack with a stab from his pilum, but Nick jumped to the side, causing the pilum to go wide. Nick tried to swipe at Jack's open side, but Jack had more maneuverability and once again deflected the weapon. Nick spun away from the impact before springing back at Jack and hammering away at him. Jack was having a hard time keeping up with the brutal hammering. Eventually, Jack's guard seemed to break, and Nick went in for the final blow. However, it was just a fake, as Jack stick his Pulim through the bottom of Nick's weapon and flung it to the side. However, Jack was still getting used to not using his sword in a battle, and accidentally let go at the sudden weight of the two items. Nick, barely wasting a second, came in with a thundering right hook to the side of Jacks' face. Jack, still reeling from the blow, was not prepared for when Nick started raining blows all along his body, each one like a hammer to the exposed parts of his flesh. Eventually, Jack just curled into a ball to better protect himself from the blows, and Nick soon stopped.

"Get up Jack. I taught you better than this," Nick growled.

Jack stood to his feet, getting in a boxer's stance.

"You hit like a grandma Nick," Jack said, spitting blood out of his mouth and onto the ground.

Nick only grinned as he ran towards Jack, swinging with a right hook as Jack raised his left arm to block. However, he underestimated how much power was behind the fist, and was instantly knocked out by the blow.

Nick, seeing that he had won, walked over to his ax and lifted it up into the air.

The crowd began cheering for Nick, amped up by the match.

"The winner is Nicolas Jones!" Chiron shouted.

The Apollo kids carted away Jack and Nick.

"Next match will be Cyra Kylal and John Wilson!"
