Multiversal Tournament

Beasts in the Blizzard

Ashley was walking through the forest, which used to show people frightening illusions... but now was simply a snowy forest. She really did not understand this entire arena and how it worked, but to be frank, she didn't really care all that much. Since lava coursed through her blood and fire was what her blood was made out of, the cold didn't affect her in the slightest. She came out to a small cliff and just looked out at the snowy landscape. She closed her eyes and took a long breath in, appreciating the rush of freezing air that her breath seemed to pull through her body. She cracked her neck and loosened up her body while she had a chance to relax for a little while. While there was more at stake now, as only the strongest beings in the tournament remained... well aside from maybe one or two, there were less people. Less people meant that there would be less constant action. All she needed out of the past few hours was maybe ten minutes without having to run and fight someone. While she enjoyed battle, much less than her brothers, but she did enjoy the rush of adrenaline, Ashley needed some time to breathe. Now that Kaira's fire for combat was very clearly relit, he was just going on and on with the fighting. While she found it to be admirable in him, she also knew that she would never be able to do that. Her brothers were somewhat different, but Kaira was just the right breed for fighting. It was in his very nature, which didn't bother her or anyone else in their family in the slightest.

"This tournament's just getting weirder and weirder..."

She sat down on the cliff and continued to just sit, breathe and take in the view. The sounds of combat were being drowned out by the winds that were picking up all around her. She could tell a snowstorm was coming, but again, she was unfazed. Suddenly she was slashed across her back. She screamed as her skin was torn open... by five knives? She stumbled towards the edge of the cliff and turned around. She tried to punch at her opponent, only to find that she was about to brawl with a bear. She had to block a paw slash to her neck, which knocked her backwards again. The bear slammed his head against her stomach and sent her flying over the edge. She fell on her back on a rock that was in the side of the cliff and the bear jumped down at her. She grabbed its mouth and rolled them both over the side of the cliff while punching him across the jaw. It slammed itself on top of her when they landed on the ground and bit down at her head. She tilted her head to the side and pushed his face to the side. She got up and swung a punch at the bear's jaw, but he bit down on her arm. She screamed out in pain and elbowed the bear in the side of his neck. She grabbed his top jaw and ripped his teeth out of her arm. Ashley wrapped the arm he bit around his neck and swung him down onto the ground.

"Exactly my fucking point!!" She yelled while getting up and creating a lava spear from beneath her "Let's go!" Suddenly, a gigantic wolf crashed through the forest and ran past the two "Woah, what the hell!?" She saw the two princesses of Hell fly after it. "Well, at least that won't get in the way of this." She looked down at her arm, ripped off her right sleeve, and wrapped up her arm "Let's do this."

Elizabeth climbed up a cliff with her blades of Chaos while Evie just teleported up to the top. They saw the wolf they had been chasing tear apart trees in a fit of rage. Evie tried to use her magic to calm him down, but it only seemed to make him even angrier. It ran away and she sighed.

Elizabeth got up and asked "Magic not working?"

"No, this pacify spell should be working."

"Well, maybe it only works on people from our world."

"It worked on people from the Prime Universe when we were there," Evie reminded her "Maybe he's just too enraged for it to work?"

"Who knows, I think we just need to fight him."

"I guess... hey, by the way. How are you still in the tournament? I thought Entity took you out."

"Oh, yeah. I used one of my Blades of Hell to latch onto the side at the last moment. I figured he was smart, so I made an illusion of myself in the stands."
