DeathMatch: Tournament of Blood

[Arrant]

Arrant stepped out into the arena and looked around, chuckling. Okay, a fight without people running everywhere. Maybe this time I can get down to Hand to Hand combat. He crouched and waited for the battle to start.

[Shenzii]

Blaire smiled, although her heart was sinking slowly. "I don't care. I'm not all the tired anyways." She dropped down from his arms. "We can't pretend like what just happened didn't. Don't try to make it better. So we argued... Not the end of the world. It's supposed to happen. And as for worrying about me, you mustn't. I am perfectly capable of fighting for myself. Armor or no armor." She looked at him, her eyes shifting back and forth. Her nose flared as she exhaled.

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Chrono groaned as she started talking about something that he already understood. "How about this... after the arena is clear, we fight to our best abilities. If you win, I'll know you'll be able to handle yourself and back off, you lose... your training will start the day afterwards. Deal?" Chrono knew he was being stubborn, but if she could beat him, then Hera the High Crusader will not worry him as much.

[Shenzii]

"Why do I have to prove myself!? Why can't you just trust me!?" She shouted getting frustrated. Her ears went back in anger.

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Chrono didn't budge. "Your first match ended in a double homicide when you had a clear view of what was behind Spike's back. So you could have thrown him off by jumping, then don't even hesitate when you snap his neck. The second is Y, if you saw my fight and remembered what I used, you should have gotten at least a make-shift emp device to get the upper-hand." Chrono still saw anger in her presence, so he continues on.

"The point of this deal is to see if those two incidents were flukes or not... since we've only sparred, and not had a real fight, I do not know the true extent of how you'll fight when I'm not around to fight with you. Sorry for doubting your powers and skills if thats how it sounds to you." Yet, she didn't seem to be wanting to even consider the deal. "Okay, if you don't agree to this... events such as right now will re-occour, and I'll never be completely fine with you being on your own."

[Shenzii]

"I'm not a child! I can fend for myself!" She growled, the sharp white daggers baring at him now. "I don't need you to babysit me! I came here to be free, Not have to be under surveillance all the time!" Her growling only grew louder. "If I say you stop watching, then you stop watching!"

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Chrono just sat there, being the only one in this room still controlling his emotions. "Of course I'll let you do as you please, I'm not your father..." He looked out the door and sighed. "However, if you're gonna call me for help for any reason from now on..." he didn't need to finish, and he was back to being emotionless, allowing him to make clear choices of what to do next. He went through a nearby drawer and pulled out a canister, and handed it to Blaire. "Open this instead, because if you think all I'm doing is treating you like a child, I... don't want to hear your cry for help." he choked up at the last moment, wanting to be caring, but thought she would take it as him being 'ignorant' to what happened.

[Shenzii]

Blaire's eyes welled up. The thought of him not caring at all was more harsh than over caring. A low huff came from her throat as she stomped her foot and stormed out the door. She sobbed down the hall, her emotions once again getting the best of her. Damn it! I want all these emotions to be gone, nonexistent. Dead. She argued in her head. Nothing could stop her from the anger that formed inside of her.

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Chrono saw her walk out again, and didn't know if he did the right thing because he knew the training was the best way he could show he cared, of course, he was only doing what he thought his own father would do, just now realizing her father would have just smacked her around for speaking like that. He opened the canister that she left behind, and pricked his finger on the edge, letting a drop of blood touch the nano-bots inside. They scanned the DNA, and recognized Chrono as its owner. The swirled out of the canister until floating in the air as a giant gray cloud. He picked up one of Blaire's hairs that was on the cot, and presented it to the cloud. "Find the owner of this DNA strand, and guard her at all costs..." the machine condensed and formed a mouth "Please choose a form to defend in." Chrono stood up and stretched his arms out. "Copy my form and that is what you'll be defending her as..." it did a quick scan before beeping a confirmation then slinking into the wall and sifting its way towards Blaire, making sure that any attack is defended within the milisecond.

[Shenzii]

Blaire finally got to her room and shut the door, nanos entering her system undetected. She went to her bed and sat down. She turn and punch the wall. Once, twice, three times, her knuckles were bleeding.

[Chrono Blackwyng]

The next time she punched, the nanos took the brunt of the damage while they healed the wounds. However, most of them are outside her system, and waiting to form into Chrono to fight off anyone hostile towards Blaire.

[Shenzii]

Blaire noticed the Nanos and growled. She searched for her knife. Pulling it out, she dug at her skin, tearing it open and taking out a nano. I won't let him be snooping around... I need to protect Y.

She stopped when the pain became unbearable. Chrono, I need you to come here. NOW!

[Chrono Blackwyng]

He was good at hiding his emotions in his voice and features, but not in his mind. Or what, you'll leave me? Thats only way you could make me feel any worse about this... or do you expect me to trust your fine after I had to rush you to the medical room after that fight with Y? 'I'm sorry for protecting you from your father while you make your escape, sorry for taking the scars that you obviously wanted'. You clung to me for five years in hope that I could get you out, and I never regretted every pain I took for you. But when you tell me to stop, every pain you get is doubled onto me because I'll always feel like I failed to stay by your side. Now, do I need to elaborate why I sound frustrated... or are you satisifed?

[Shenzii]

I can handle myself here. I don't need you're protection every moment. I am not the same person I once was! I don't want you to forget about me completely. But cut the link between my pain. I want this, I want to know that I'm worth mare than I appear. Because I know I am. I want you to care, but not protect me against everything. I can handle Y, for reasons I wont explain. And as for whoever, I have plenty of skill to either vanquish or flee. She began to cry as she punched the wall over and over. Her hand now shattered, and knuckles bloodied to the extent of needing stitches, she sat and sobbed. Her hand dripping with pain and anguish.

[Gabag]

Arrant stepped out into the arena and looked around, chuckling. Okay, a fight without people running everywhere. Maybe this time I can get down to Hand to Hand combat. He crouched and waited for the battle to start.

Boron stepped off the platform, and took his posistion on the opposite side of the arena, which took the form of city ruins from an ancient civilization from Mexico.
"3... 2.... 1... BEGIN!"
