THE FIEND CUP

[firesofhades.livejournal.com]

Who: EVERYBODY + Hades
What: See title, folks
Where: The Underdrome
When: March 13 through March 17. Hades is being generous.

You're sort of expected to show up pretty quick, although Hades is a douche and didn't mention that.

Hades lounged on his throne that looked to be made of melted wax and jade. The Fates were nearby, chortling to themselves as they measured string.

It was Lachesis who addressed Hades. "This Aya...she is to have her string undamaged?"

Hades gave a dramatic sigh. "I gave her my word, ladies. But have at it with the others."

"You've gone soft," Lachesis teased. She knew Hades would blow his top if she pushed the issue...but she resolved to push it later. It was more fun that way, when other people were around to witness.

And lots of people would be coming soon...

Okay, clarifying points. The battles are in order of posting, and they are one hour apart. I don't know when I'm going to be back--shouldn't be too late. Declare a victor, but don't do anything with him/her yet. You do not get to watch the other battles today. >D

It wasn't hard to guess what Auria was planning and Tifa was ready before she even started running.

She took shorter strides than she normally would have meeting Auria halfway. Waiting for the very last moment, she quick-step'd out of the way of the hammer, feigning a a slight wince. Without another second, her leg came up and she kicked the Hammer staff in hopes of dislodging it from her grip.

It seems the only way to get though the match was to disarm her and knock her out as quickly as possible to Tifa and she was determined to do so without causing too bad of a injury to the other girl - unless she provided at least a bit challenge to make things more interesting.

If it wern't for the fact that Hades already knew how Cloud fought, he would have just forgone using his sword and fought barehanded like Tifa. But the god was watching, so that plan was out of the question.

Cloud hoped he just be able to let Tifa deal with the girl, because he could probably kill her without even trying.

Auria's hammer briefly flew from her grip, but she caught it...after a lot of fumbling. She turned on her heel to face Tifa again, but now her stance was all wrong. She would either have to run at Tifa, regaining her balance as she closed in, or waste time trying to right herself.

She chose the former. Realigning her grip, Auria charged Tifa again, but this time she skipped to the side at the last minute and swung her hammer at the other woman's side.

The hammer just grazed Tifa's side and her eyebrows rose slightly in approvement.

That, however didn't stop her from grabbing the Hammer and pulling Auria closer, Tifa's other fist ready to strike her stomach.

"Shi--" and then the fist connected, knocking the wind right out of Auria's lungs. Her grip weakened and her hammer left her hand as she crumpled, vision turning black at the edges. She stayed there, wheezing.

Don't go down this easily! What the fuck is wrong with you?

Auria forced herself to lift off the ground. Her ribs bitched about being moved so soon--she had to get her hammer. Where the hell was her hammer. It was there, at the edge of her sight. She rolled her eyes up and lurched forward, still wheezing.
