Plus, I haven't posted in awhile due to much schoolwork and other activities. Please forgive me! OK, this next battle was sent in by No Heart's Throne, the challengers are Aqua and Tifa!
Riku: Oh, this should be good.
Axel: Chick fight, always entertaining.
Kairi: (glares offendedly)
The two femme fatales step into the arena. I pull a lever and the arena converts into an old abandoned street. It's a dark cold night and the only light is a single streetlamp over the damp dank road. The fist fighter dressed all in black walks down the street to meet her opponent, her form just barely outlined by the yellow glow from above. The blue-haired Keyblade Master walks solemnly forward, face still hidden in shadows. With a swift gesture of her hand, Rainfell, a large blue and gray blade, appears in her hand. Tifa backsteps in defense, immediately hunching over with fists clenched. The two stare, waiting for the gong. It sounds.
Tifa hurls herself forward, thrusting her leg outward in the air. Aqua guards the kick and her opponent lands on the ground, rapidly following with a barrage of punches. The Keybearer guards them all, then swings horizontally to ward off her foe. Tifa leaps back a good ten feet to dodge the blow. Aqua doesn't hesitate. She aims her Keyblade and launches a Mega Flare. Tifa braces herself with arms crossed in front of her face as a huge explosion fills the street. The fist fighter slides backward from the force. Squinting, she slowly opens her eyes after the attack has ended. She sees a blur of blue and her enemy is upon her. Aqua swings in a cross slash combo, but Tifa ducks under all the attacks. Then she hurls her foot forward, blasting Aqua back with a sideways kick. As she flies through the air, she quickly flips back to land on her feet. Immediately upon reorienting herself, she charges forward again.
Lengthening her strides to close in faster, she plans to take a horizontal swing to catch her foe off guard. As she approaches, Tifa watches, analyzing and interpreting her enemy's movements. When Aqua is mere feet away, she swings across her body forcefully but Tifa has already backflipped into the air. She hovers above her foe for a moment before kicking back downward, blasting toward the ground like a comet. Her kick beats Aqua backwards, causing her to drop her guard and falter. Tifa continues the assault, landing punch after punch on Aqua's face. Then she swiftly uppercuts Aqua's jaw with her fist and the woman is launched backward. She winces and grits her teeth as she gets back up again. Tifa watches, still crouched to pounce, waiting to see what her foe will do.
With a slight war cry, Aqua launches herself toward her competitor, shrouded in a magical barrier. The forcefield collides with Tifa, shoving her backward into a mailbox on the side of the road. Aqua stabs forward but Tifa ducks, causing the key to stab through the mailbox and leave a huge gap. Tifa, now underneath her opponent, leans back on both hands, sending both feet flying out in a double kick. She hits Aqua squarely in the gut, forcing her back and causing her whole body to ache. Aqua growls in frustration and glares at her foe. Tifa leaps back up, adjusting one of her gloves. Aqua, unamused by the girl's easygoing attitude in battle as if the whole thing is a joke, points her Keyblade once more and shoots three consecutive fireballs. Tifa's eyes widen and, on instinct, she cartwheels to the side, all three shooting past her. Just as she comes right-side-up again, Aqua has leapt forward and swung. Tifa sees the attack coming and twists to the side, but the blade just barely catches her shoulder and leaves a miniscule scratch. Instantly regaining her focus, the young woman throws her fist forward. Aqua blocks it while rapidly shrouding herself in a field of electricity. Tifa cries out and retracts, the sparks crackling around her hand. Aqua sees her opponent's defenses down and thrusts forward. Tifa twirls to the side out of the way and the blade shoots right past her. As Aqua follows through and her side is facing Tifa, the girl kicks the Keybearer in the hip, launching her onto the sidewalk. Following it up, Tifa sprints toward her and jumps, turning sideways and grabbing the pole of the street lamp. She whips around it once to gain momentum and launches at the blue-haired woman, double kicking her right in the face. Aqua staggers back, dizzy, and falls backward onto the ground.
Her vision is blurred and her head throbs with a horrible headache. She squeezes her eyes shut, trying to clear her vision, but all she hears then is the pound of her heart in her sore head. She hears rushing footsteps and opens her eyes to see Tifa charging her way. The girl in black leaps into the air, foot aimed to stomp down on the Keyblade Master's midsection. On a quick reflex, Aqua rolls sideways right as Tifa's foot stomps down. Rapidly, Aqua swings her blade across Tifa's feet, tripping her. Then she jumps up so she's standing above her foe and stabs down. Tifa rolls out of the way, somersaulting backward into a standing position. The two lock angered eyes for a moment before Tifa runs forward to fight. Aqua calls up an army of large bubbles around her. One appears right in front of Tifa and she collides with it, causing her to stop. It pops and engulfs her in an enormous puddle of water. Then the others launch, blasting her repeatedly and halting all her attacks. Aqua bounds forward and slashes, cutting deeply into Tifa's arm. The girl winces and grabs the wound, leaping backward to avoid Aqua's next slash. Although that attempt missed, the Keyblade Master doesn't give up. She launches another combo and closes in on her opponent. Tifa dodges them with quick ducks and weaves, punching Aqua in the face to give herself a rest. The woman quickly recovers however. She sticks Rainfell skyward and calls down a flurry of lightning bolts. Tifa braces herself but is still blasted by the spell. Aqua stabs forward to end it.
Tifa cartwheels away and behind Aqua, grabbing her arm and forcing her against the wall of a building in an arrest hold. Aqua tries to free herself. With her free arm, she jabs her elbow backwards in Tifa's ribcage. This causes Tifa to release her but before she can turn around, the fist fighter kicks her forcefully in the back, smashing her into the wall facefirst. She starts to recover and turn around but Tifa slugs her sideways across the face. She is blasted to the sidewalk, jaw aching. She pants as she rests on her hands and knees. She glares over her shoulder at her enemy. Tifa raises her foot and kicks downward at Aqua's back. The attack lands. Or it should have. Tifa's foot goes through her halted foe as if she's an illusion. She takes a small step backward, confused expression on her face. Suddenly, Aqua appears behind her adversary, slashing down and cutting Tifa's back. She yells in pain and whips around with a punch. Her fist blasts through a frozen image of her foe. The real Aqua is gone again. She appears on Tifa's side, blasting through her side with a sharp strike. Then the image freezes and becomes a ghostly transparent image again as Tifa attacks. She whips around, trying to defend herself, but her enemy keeps warping and striking from all sides. The attacks pick up the pace and soon Tifa falls over on her hands and knees, teeth clenched against the battering. That's when Aqua appears hovering in the air, glowing. Then she shoots forward, a beam of light trailing behind and stabbing straight through her opponent. She warps and does the same again, over and over all within a fraction of a second, until there is star of light around her foe. It explodes and Aqua calms down, feet gracefully setting her on the ground. Her foe lies on the dark street, shaking and breathing heavily. Aqua stands above her enemy, glaring down. Tifa silently whimpers and closes her eyes, waiting for the final blow. The young Keyblade Master raises her weapon and plants it in the ground beside her enemy. Then without a word, she turns and slowly walks away into the night. Her figure disappears into the shadows and the single light above the street goes out.
