Multiversal Tournament

A Strange Ancient Power

Herobrine ducked underneath the punch and swung his own up at Ozul's face. Right before his fist collided with Ozul's nose, the shadow Elemental threw a black fireball at him. Herobrine jumped backwards and front flipped behind Ozul. He landed and turned around just as Ozul turned to face him again. Herobrine thrust a punch at his chest, but Ozul grabbed his fist.

"Hm, you've clearly gotten faster," Ozul said "What kind of power is this?"

"I'll show you what I've done. Behold the power of Primal Instinct." Ozul growled and roundhouse kicked up at his ribs, but Herobrine blocked with his forearm.

Herobrine rolled backwards and Ozul snarled before saying "This power seems to let you move faster, but if all you do is run away, then you're not increasing your chances of defeating me. In fact, all you're doing is lessening your chances."

"Well, you're finally talking more. Didn't expect that," Herobrine said with a hint of a smile on his face.

This seemed to strike a nerve and Ozul yelled "Stop smiling!" He sent a blast at Herobrine, but he leaned out of its way, and let it blow up the trees behind him "I told you..." Ozul conjured another black fireball "To stop making that face!!!" He sent the next blast at Herobrine, but he disappeared, and let it blow off another chunk of the arena's edge "Where did...?" He turned around and saw Herobrine just calmly standing a foot or two away "You look awfully relaxed."

"Really? It's not like this is an easy fight or anything. You look a little pissed off."

"Oh, shut up." He sent another blast at Herobrine, but he jumped away from it, and landed next to Ozul.

He sent another energy blast at Herobrine, but once again, he just disappeared, and reappeared behind Ozul, then he told him "This power seems to decrease the emotions that are deemed most unnecessary in a fight. Curious." Herobrine lifted his fist up and looked at the strange aura.

"Unnecessary emotions, huh?"

"That's right... or at least from what I've seen." He looked from his fist back to Ozul "My heart's as calm as the forest in a warm summer's night at the moment."

"Well... let's just see what that power will grant you." Ozul created an aura around himself.

"Well then, if you're going to power up yourself..." Herobrine's fists clenched "How about I do the same?"

He looked up into the sky and sent a pillar of his aura into the sky, which knocked Ozul backwards. The arena began to shake in the split second that the pillar existed. It dissipated and Ozul ran toward Herobrine to finally finish the fight. With his eyes closed Herobrine struck first, with a blow that, once again, caused the entire arena to shake, and one person to fall off. Herobrine's fist was implanted in Ozul's stomach as he had uppercut him. Ozul coughed and gagged, having never felt a blow quite this powerful before. Herobrine glared up at him with his cold, focused eyes. He slowly pulled his fist out of Ozul's chest and stepped back, watching as the Shadow Elemental fell to his knees.

He wiped some black blood from his mouth and growled "No... there's no way... this is how it's going to end." He jumped up into the air "I won't accept defeat by a power not even its user understands!" He flew back down to Herobrine, who just stared at him coldly.

Ozul swung a flurry of punches at Herobrine, much like what the latter had done earlier in the fight. Herobrine moved back quickly and effortlessly blocked each and every attack. Anything his body couldn't move fast enough to block was dodged. He wasn't being driven backwards, but moving back on his own. He knew that if Ozul wasted energy on moving forward, then his strikes would gradually have less power. Ozul was clearly getting angrier and angrier as the battle progressed, and yet he felt as though he was getting nowhere. Kaira and Prokaz watched as Herobrine continued to block and dodge each enraged attack.
