"Round One: Buffy versus Scorpian and Reptile."
The announcers voice was loud and lifeless, echoing through the arena. Buffy nervously stepped into the circle, whirling as the grate crashed closed behind her. She turned back and looked around. The arena was similer to the Colussium, except smaller. The walls were twenty feet high, and the only entrances to the pit were the grates, one of which was closed behind her, and the other, through which her two opponants entered. The two men marched forward authoritivly, stopping a meter from Buffy, who shaped up, with a stake already in hand. She wasn't sure if she should use it, as she was unaware if they were human or not. Still...
The two stood before her, posed. They were both dressed in typical ninja garb, with Scorpian having yellow bands on his clothes and mask, and Reptile having green. "Round one, Fight!" The command came through. Buffy immidiatly jumped forward, as the two ninjas seperated faster than lightning. Reptile threw a glass at his feet, and to Buffy's amazement, dissapeared. "GET OVER HERE!" Buffy's head snapped around, and she ducked automatically, and watched stunned, as the harpoon flew inches above her head, trailing rope. It stopped, enbedding itself into the side of the arena, the rope taut. Buffy looked at Scorpian, to see that the rope was coming *out* of his hand. "Definetly not human" buffy murmoured, moving forward agressively. She was a few steps away from Scorpian, whose eyes had narrowed as he fruitlessly tugged against the rope, trying to unhitch the harpoon, when she was hit from the side. She staggered, before looking around wildly, seeing no one. She had forgotten about Reptile! "Buffy!" A shout from outside the arena caught her attention, and her eyes snapped up to see Xander, waving franticly. he cupped his mouth, and spoke in a deep voice "Use the Force!" Buffy looked at him increadacly, before falling to one side as her invissable assailent got in another free shot. "Ow!" Xander complained to Willow's smacking him over the head "I've just always wanted to say that for real" He apologised, as Willow shook her head and returned her attention to the fight.
Buffy took a calming breath, remembering that time back in highschool where she had faught a similer opponent "Except she wasn't a ninja" Buffy murmered to herself, trying to sense any presence. She closed her eyes, sensing for movement. There! She snapped a quick roundhouse at the air behind her, and watched, amazed as her foot collided with Reptile, who stumbled back, visable again. Buffy snapped a quick front kick, before Reptile could recover, and followed up with a back fist, which sent him crashing back twenty feet. She returned her attention to Scorpian, who had just managed to release the harpoon. He wasn't moving, however, as the harpoon was winding its way back into his hand, somehow. Buffy ran towards him, and spun in a cresent kick which caught him across his head, and sent him spinning, crashig onto his stomach, his mask violently flung across the arena. Buffy stood waiting, as both Scorpian, and Reptile rose slowly. 'This isn't too hard' Buffy thought to herself, noting both opponents had their backs to her still. She grinned, and whirled a stake in her hand 'enter Mr Pointy' she thought confidently.
Both opponents turned towards her, and she felt her blood freeze. Scorpian's mask was removed, and she could see his grinning skelital face ("Damn wanna-be's" Spinal muttered to Sabrewulf, who was sniffing suspiciously in the direction of Oz). Buffy stepped back uncertainly, colliding with something. She whirled around to see a monster. "What the hell!" She screamed backpeddling fast. Reptile's mask was also removed, but unlike Scorpian's, it hadn't been hiding something, rather than containing it. The monster had grown to eight feet tall, still humaniod, except for the foot long green crocodile-like muzzle that had protruded. Buffy spun in awe, assesing her two frightening opponents. She nodded decisivly to herself, before flipping towards the two, kicking Reptiles muzzle, as he snapped at her, blocked a swing from Scorpian, a high kick from Reptile, then jumping over a sweep by Scorpian, kicked Reptile in the muzzle, which sent him stumbling back several feet. She took a chance, snapped a punch at Scorpian, and planted her stake firmly in his chest. She grinned in triumph, before a touch of uncertainty came to her, as she watched his eye sockets compust into flame, she stepped back, before turning and running, as Scorpian exploded cataclismically, knocking her to the ground, and starting a Mexican wave and a 'Fatality!' chant in the crowd.
Buffy, dazed started to drag herself to her feet, before a large weight knocked her back to the ground. She rolled on her back, to find herself face to face with the dripping maw of Reptile. His jaws, fillied with razer teeth inched closer to her face, as she struggled desperatly to get him off. Reptiles jaws enclosed the front of her face, as he struggled to bite off her head. Buffy fueled by fear, managed to flip him off her, and landed on him, herself, and hysterically, stabbed him repeatadly with her stake, again, and again, and didn't stop until strong arms pulled her off, she turned, about to attack, when she relised it was Fulgour holding her, and she collapsed in his arms, weeping, at which point, the arena vanashed, leaving them in a candle lit bedroom, with soft Jazz playing, and a bottle of champayne sitting in a ice bucket by an open fireplace... erm, sorry. Lets try that again.
She turned, stake raised, when she relised it was Angel that had pulled her off Reptile. She turned to look at him, and shuddered at his still twitching mangled body, and buried her face on his chest.
"Buffy Wins. Fatality. Supreme Victory." announced the announcer (Does that sound as bad as it looks?) in his emotionless voice. The crowd cheered, and the Scoobies rushed to the slightly dazed Buffy, cheering, and congradulating her. Buffy walked out, drained, led by the gang, as Angel watched relieved that she had won her round.
"Round two" Came the voice "Glacious versus Jax and Johnny Cage"
Angel walked off the arena, and sat down in the stand, and waited for the next fight. Oz sat next to him. "Oz" greeted Angel.
"Angel" Oz greeted back. Silence resumed. Oz found himself idly wishing for popcorn, as he waited for the fighers to come out.
