In a remarkably short amount of time, the arena had been yet again transformed. It was now… a beach! On one side of the arena, where the competitors entered, was a sandy shore, on the other side a small island where a gilded lily sat on a pedestal. The rest of the arena was filled with warm, salty water. The currents were harsh, and it’d take a while to swim out to the island.
Yeonaixho remained in his private section with his two children and Petrai, the latter of whom stood up to address the crowd. “Greetings, all. Our next match is between Roy Davenport and Hannah Moines. I would like to remind these contestants specifically that only they are permitted to fight, without the aide of other creatures or persons, summoned or otherwise.” She glared at Hannah, specifically.
She continued, “Like always, there are two ways to win this fight. Contestants can either retrieve the Gilded Lily on the other side of the arena, or win by knocking out their opponent. Any violence done to an opponent after they have fallen unconscious will count as a penalty, and the offender will be stripped of their victory. Furthermore, any great harm done to one’s opponent, such as dismemberment or serious attempts on the other’s life, will be penalized and result in the offender’s expulsion from the tournament. Good luck.”
There are 2 ways to win this fight
Knock out your opponent
OR
Be the first to retrieve the Gilded Lily
To move closer to the Gilded Lily, you will have to pass through three sections, each section consisting of three d20 rolls you must pass to move through three subsections . Any roll above 20 counts as 2 subsections passed, any roll below 1 counts as one move backwards. When you reach subsection 3 of section 3 [aka subsection 9], you will make one final roll to grab the Gilded Lily.
Environmental rolls will be against the waves and rolled after the competitors’ turns with a straight d20.
May the best competitor win!

Roy walked in, forcing himself to stop trembling. He shook his heads around, hyping himself up. “You are not going to die, you are not going to die, you can do this, it’ll be fine-”

Well, Hannah was supposed to be here, right?
Either she could also turn invisible, or she was late.
Or maybe she was hiding in the waves, ready to strike when he made a move. @Sauce | Roy 🌩
Sauce | Roy 🌩 10/12/2023 6:31 PM
He wasn’t that early… is she trying to surprise him or something?? God. “Calm down. I can do this.” Deep breaths Roy.
…shit there’s a lot of water. (edited)
Mads|Roque🩸+Hannah🦈+Madeline 10/12/2023 6:38 PM
After a few more minutes of waiting, finally Hannah walked in to the arena.
She was wearing an all red outfit, dark red, blood red. A tight swim shirt, shorts, and strappy sandals, perfect for the arena they were in. A necklace sat on top of the shirt, and tied to it was a shark tooth from a certain shark. He couldn't actually be here, but he was there for moral support of course. Her loose hair was tied back in braids, but her giant ponytail still flowed freely. Too iconic.
A small shark fin was also protruding out of her back, but it seemed she had accounted for that, since there was space for it out the back of her shirt.
She looked over at Roy standing just far enough away to avoid her wrath at first. She flexed her fingers, claws protruding already, and bared her teeth at the man. @Sauce | Roy 🌩
Sauce | Roy 🌩 10/12/2023 6:43 PM
“Ahh shit.” He was wearing a much less…. Special outfit. Just a shirt and fucking shorts. No shoes though, his powers worked best with contact so…
Oh god he was really out of his element. “Aw hell. Okay, okay. She’s not allowed to kill me, it’ll be fine.” Like he was chanting a prayer or something.

Mads|Roque🩸+Hannah🦈+Madeline 10/12/2023 6:48 PM
"I'm gonna kill you!" Hannah yelled as she started running at him, noting that he was looking much too petrified to move. The sand billowed up behind her as her sandals struck the sand with an intensity previously unknown to man. Her claws were extended toward him, and her eyes struck dead on to his. Seems like she wasn't even worried about getting in the water yet.
Sauce | Roy 🌩 10/12/2023 6:52 PM
Well shit! Not sticking around to see how much she’ll make on that promise. Into the water he goes!

Well he’s not exactly a pro at swimming, but he’s running in that water as much as he can until he has to swim.

Hannah finally managed to catch up to them after their running. She ran in to him at full speed, tackling him to the ground. He was close enough to the water that when she pushed him down, his head landed in the water, just shallow enough to keep his face up luckily.
She ended up on top of him, her claws digging down in to his shoulders.
"You ruined my life!" Hannah yelled, moving her face down close to Roy's. "Everything I deserved- I lost it! Because of you and your stupid powers!" Even now, she could feel it, that power of his. It was flowing through him, just like it was that awful day she first met him. It was sickening. Overwhelming. But she didn't care about how she was being overwhelmed by the sensation currently.
The sensation of Roy's blood beneath her nails was overpowering it.
(Drowning tw)
She removed her right hand from his shoulder, blood now trickling out of the wound, and dripping in to the water. She placed her hand on his cheek, her claws only sinking in enough to barely break the skin. She forced his head to the side- enough to cover his mouth and nose in the salty water, and to put his ear up toward her.
She moved her face down close to his ear and whispered, "I'm going to make you regret ever stepping foot here." @Sauce | Roy 🌩

Pure adrenaline shot through him when Hannah made contact, he didn’t even have time to respond before the breath was knocked out of him and lost in the salty water.
It was pure instinct that he grabbed onto her hair and shot lightning through his hands.
Mads|Roque🩸+Hannah🦈+Madeline 10/12/2023 7:11 PM
Well, he should have thought more about that move, it seems hair wasn't a very good conduit for electricity. Regardless of it not hurting, she could sense him trying it.

Lucky for him that wave knocked Hannah off of him. He burst out of the water, gasping for breath. Well then. Really, if he wanted to face this head on, he has to fight.
He got to his feet. Concentrating, he lifted his left hand and shot lightning out at Hannah.

Mads|Roque🩸+Hannah🦈+Madeline 10/12/2023 7:22 PM
Hannah lost Roy in the shuffle of the waves- even with her vice like grip on his shoulder. Luckily for Roy, they got separated.
Once she got back on to the sand, she growled and tried to run at him again. She skidded to a halt as she felt her hand standing on edge- Roy was about to strike. She dodged to the side, but the bolt followed her, hitting her square in the back.
The burning feeling spread across her body as she spasmed, collapsing back in to the water and twitching.
"Urgh!" Hannah grunted, her fingers gripping on to the wet sand as her body tried to return back to normal. All of her senses felt like they were going haywire- all she could do was grip at the ground and grit her teeth.

She didn't surface again.
Sauce | Roy 🌩 10/12/2023 7:25 PM
“…Huh??? H-Hannah?” Where the hell?? He… the water was screwing with his senses, he couldn’t tell where she went. Tentatively he stepped into the water, maybe he could actually get the lily now.

Duh nuh.
Duhnuhduhnuhduhnuh.
A shark fin rose up out of the water, not too far out from where Hannah had been washed out. It was rapidly approaching his location. @Sauce | Roy 🌩
Sauce | Roy 🌩 10/12/2023 7:29 PM
He could feel a cold sweat pour down his back. Maybe those nightmares were about to come true.
Mads|Roque🩸+Hannah🦈+Madeline 10/12/2023 7:39 PM
The shark was rapidly approaching his location.
It circled him, encroaching ever closer. It swam much faster than he did, there was no way he could get away.
No amount of struggling would get him away.
At first she seemed content to just scare him- making fake lunges and getting closer and closer.
But the blood that was flowing out of his wounds was spreading further and further out in to the water. It eventually reached where Hannah was swimming, and she diverted from her path. Her pupils were nothing but slits and she darted toward Roy. Her mouth was agape, sharp, pointed rows of teeth aimed right at him.
And finally, she attacked.
(Violence)
She bit in to his shoulder and yanked her head back, tearing his arm clean off and staining the entire scene red. She took a bite out of the limb before spitting the rest out and staring back at his other arm. @Sauce | Roy 🌩
Sauce | Roy 🌩 10/12/2023 7:44 PM
Screaming pain shot though his body as he felt his own arm sever. He could barely feel the sting of salt water as he screamed in anguish. His scars lit and lightning shot off of Roy, connecting with Hannah.
Mads|Roque🩸+Hannah🦈+Madeline 10/12/2023 7:47 PM
The shark jumped back as the lightning hit it dead on, spasming again and sinking toward the bottom of the water.

As Roy's arm was ripped from it's socket, Petrai rose from her seat and shouted, "Surrender! This is a breach of our rules!"
At the same moment, two guards and a dedicant entered the arena. The dedicant- Hang- pushed away the water with a sweep of her arm, magically parting it around the two contestants. Judas ran to Roy and began moving him, while Astrid moved over to Hannah and kicked her over, just enough to knock her out.
Mads|Roque🩸+Hannah🦈+Madeline 10/12/2023 7:56 PM
As Hannah was knocked out, she thankfully turned human again. Her natural state was regular human girl at least. She was covered in blood, especially her mouth, which was dripping with it. All of her teeth were stained that awful red color.
Her body was covered in those branching lightning scars, but she seemed much more peaceful now that she was knocked out and couldn't think about how much she hated Roy. @innsjo (glass🎸+ darcy🖋+ npcs❄)
Sauce | Roy 🌩 10/12/2023 8:00 PM
He was still screaming and fighting for consciousness, there was so much blood. It was all he could grasp at the moment. At the sensation of someone grabbing him, the part of his mind that was holding on to consciousness was pure survival instinct. “GH-LET GO OF ME!” Lightning arced off of him and connected with Judas.
innsjo (glass🎸+ darcy🖋+ npcs❄) 10/12/2023 8:04 PM
"AAA!" Judas screamed, and fell back to the ground as he was electrocuted. He stood there for a moment, not seeming like he'd get up anytime soon.
"Whoa- whoa!" Astrid shouted as Judas was electrocuted. She already had Hannah draped over her shoulder, and picked up Judas to drape him over her other one. She didn't approach Roy. "Can you get to the hospital on your own?"

Sauce | Roy 🌩 10/12/2023 8:08 PM
Good luck talking to that guy! Conscious is not here! Roy sat in the sand shaking and heaving. His eyes moved down to the bloody stump at his side. He then proceeded to black out.
innsjo (glass🎸+ darcy🖋+ npcs❄) 10/12/2023 8:10 PM
Astrid set Judas down and picked up Roy instead. Time to move these guys to the hospital.
