Raiku wasted no time, after all he wanted next. He disappeared and in a streak of lightning was on the battlefield. "Where's my opponent," he yelled. "I don't have all day!" Alex clutched the railing at the flashy entrance before barking out to Adrian, "eminence entrance technique, 4B!" "Right!" Adrian yelled back before Alex disappeared in a wave of shadows
The crowd looked around waiting for Raiku's opponent before somebody yelled, "Wait! WHO IS THAT UP THERE!" If somebody were to look up they would see a man dressed in the darkest black with his cloak flowing in the wind, hood on his head looking down on the battlefield, it looking like he was standing on the air itself. Although the more observant people like Welt would have noticed that he was standing on a physical shadow. Suddenly he smirked before jumping off the shadow in a back flip before another shadow platform appeared above him half way into his back flip as he jumped off of it shooting himself towards the ground like a missile, kicking up dust as he landed. Suddenly out of the dust pile he walked out. "My name is Shadow, he who lurks, to hunt the shadows." The man said, before he laid his right hand into the air, catching a blade that seemingly fell from nowhere and he slashed diagonally downwards. The slash was accompanied by the sound of a firework and a mini explosion.
"Well if that's your type of pace, you can call me Kashimo! '' The newly identified Kashimo said with a face splitting grin on his face. Adrian wiped the sweat from his brow as he smiled upon the battlefield. "Perfect" he muttered. Zack from the side of Adrian was watching with starry eyes. "THAT WAS SO COOl" he said, "What do you say chat, should i make an entrance like that for my next fight?" Rhyan took a break from comforting Ross who was still tripping off the za to watch the entrance, giving a small smirk in response before going back to making sure Ross didn't go off a try to kill everybody there.
"Are both combatants ready?" The ref asked, getting two nods in response. "Go!" Suddenly Kashimo disappeared from his spot in a streak of lightning shooting towards Alex, sword ready to cut him in half, but just then Alex disappeared accompanied by the sound of a firecracker and appeared to the side as if he had sidestepped the attack at lightning speeds.Kashimo turned around and went for a second attack, but Alex now being more ready tried to parry it by first blocking the strike and using impact to parry. Instead of being welcomed by the sight of Kashimo on the back foot he was instead pushed back as he flipped mid air and regained his footing. 'I see, he's moving so fast that my impact can't happen before he stops making contact with my blade'. "You're quite fast," Alex said, watching Kashimo smile in response. "Too bad you're so weak!" He finished, watching Kashimo's smile turn into a scowl as he went to attack Alex again. "You won't be saying that when you're at my feet Shadow!!!... Or whatever your name is, I don't even know anymore!"
Kashimo and Alex ran at each other at dizzying speeds before both Alex and Kashimo disappeared, one with a flash of lightning and the other with the sound of a firecracker. Suddenly Kashimo appeared imprinted in the wall as Alex landed. "Oh?" he started "and here I thought speed was your strong suit, so slow and weak, I will give you the name Fraudshimo."
"Don't underestimate me BASTARD" Kashimo yelled before charging up and disappearing in a streak of lighting, as he bounced off the walls waiting for an opening. Alex seeing this put his own guard down allowing Kashimo to strike at him. And just as Kashimo took the bait he sidestepped, using impact to augment his speed before grabbing Kashimo by the back of his shirt and throwing him into the dirt, Kashimo quickly scrambling to his feet.
They eyed each other and just as Kashimo was about to make a quip Alex took one step forward and vanished with the sound of a firework. Instincts took over as Kashimo turned around just in time to barely block an attack from Alex, just for impact to push him back, suddenly Alex disappeared again accompanied by the same sound, Kashimo once again turned around and was barely able to block the strike from Alex, realizing that Alex was grinning like a mad man. Suddenly instead of vanishing, Alex went into Kashimo's guard and hit him with a back fist into a punch, Kashimo tried to catch him with a sword strike but Alex ducked under before kicking Kashimo in the head knocking him back a couple feet. 'I need to finish this quick, or the usage of my speed augmentation using impact will get to me' Alex thought, though on the outside he was still grinning at the fraud Kashimo.
"You know... I don't understand why you were originally so eager to fight me" Alex stated, Kashimo looking offended in response. "A fly like you couldn't possibly put your hands on somebody like me." Kashimo growled before he suddenly got into a low stance as lightning started appearing all around him, shooting out like an angry nest of wasps. "FINE, originally I was gonna save this for my next fight but I gue-'' He didn't get to finish what he was about to say before with the sound of a firework, Alex disappeared, standing a couple feet behind from Kashimo. Kashimo froze as Alex started sheathing his sword. "Stand low Kashimo, YOU... ARE WEAK" Alex said before fully sheathing his sword as a wound exploded from Kashimo's chest, Alex using the delayed form of impact on him. Alex turned looking to the ref. "Winner, Sha- I mean Alex!" He yelled to the crowd which responded with yells of applause as shadows appeared around Alex that soon engulfed him, ending up with Alex arriving next to Adrian who was smiling at him.
