The arena: a granite arena, round in shape. Large. It would normally glare in the bright sun, but the scarse clouds that lined the sky dulled its glow today. It was about a foot high, and surrounded by a small grassy area, and then the colosseum seats, curling around it. Here, truly, was the place to battle.
The intercom whirred, and made a rather loud buzz. The static cleared, and a voice came on; not as clear as day, but it was clear enough to be understood.
"Thank you for coming everybody! It's certainly a perfect day to battle. I'd like to introduce our first fighter. From Gate A: Carl!
And from Gate B, a fighter that goes by the name of Jin Tranitu!"
The gates both opened, and the fighters got the white flag. Once they step onto the arena, it would begin!

What an idiot. Look at the stupid grin. He thinks he's god or something. Always underestimating everything.
...Don't die brother.
Jin walked casually into the arena, waiting for his foe. His scythe dangled at his side and his buckler was still slung onto his back. His fists were on his hips, waiting for the action. Waiting to sink his scythe into flesh. Waiting to show this Carl what the strongest of the Tranitu brothers was made of.

Carl walked into the arena, his black cloak flowing in the wind as he walked. He looked at the ground, his blood-stained bandages concealing all of his face except for a glowing red eye and his mouth. "...Sorry i'm late."

"Not a problem!" Jin shouted. This guy looked...odd. Jin felt some reluctance to fight seeing all of the bloody bandages. Battle crazy or not, he was still honorable. His foe didn't seem fazed at all though.
Must be nothing.
He grabbed his scythe's grip with his left hand and slid his right arm around his back into the straps of his buckler. Scythe low, shield up, he waited for his foe to draw.
After the honor hoopla was done with, the carnage would begin.

Carl held his right hand out to the side, and a flash of purple energy appeared, leaving a large scythe in his hand. He then moved a few strands of brown hair away from his eye, and held his scythe behind him, the curved blade partially wrapped around his midsection.
"Ready?"

Hmm. Some sort of magical scythe user? Odd, but that's never stopped me before!
"You bet."
In the stands, his brother Jules rolled his eyes. He's still got that stupid grin.
Dropping his shield, he rushed with his scythe arm behind him. While he charged, a stone began to form around the scythe blade. He was three-fourths of the way to Carl and swung his scythe. The stone spiraled off toward Carl. Setting his arm back again, he applied the extra momentum of his charge into the swing at Carl's torso.

Carl's body turned black, except for his red eye, and he sunk into a puddle of darkness on the ground, avoiding both attacks. He then held an arm out of the puddle and fired a blast of purple and red energy at Jin's body. [[ Hell Cannon - An orb of purple and red energy that Carl can blast at a variety of speeds. Carl can also make the orb explode into two large rotating orbs of energy. ]] |

He expected a dodge, but he didn't expect the dude to become a puddle. Trying to dodge, the energy smacked into his right shoulder, leaving it burning. He quickly spun and, raised his scythe, and slashed the air with his scythe, facing Puddle Carl.
At the center of Puddle Carl, a brown splotch could be seen. It began to expand. Mud was rising up from the ground to engulf Mr. Puddle.
Jin kept a distance of about ten feet between him and Mr. Puddle. Carl seemed to be adept in close and ranged attacks. He planted his feet on the ground and began his Might of the Earth, absorbing energy from the ground. Offense would be key in this fight.

Carl reformed back to his solid form, groaning at the mud under his feet. "Damn..." He slipped on his feet, but landed on one of his hands. He fired a Hell Cannon blast and shot himself into the air, away from the mud. Carl aimed both his hands at Jin while in the air, and fired two blasts at him. Seems like this guy is a bit better than I thought...oh well...[[ Hell Cannon - An orb of purple and red energy that Carl can blast at a variety of speeds.

I'm assuming he aimed down to shoot himself up.
_______________________________________
With his foe high in the sky, Jin was readily aware of the two blasts and strafed to avoid them. The burn in his shoulder and the sizzling on the ground and mud told him that those we're bad to block; good to dodge.
He made his move. From the looks of it, Carl had no way of maneuvering in midair, so he rushed him on his way down. With the Might of the Earth in him, he slung a powerful Stone Crescent to intercept Carl, followed by a low jumping attack to meet him right before he hit the ground.

Cursing at himsef softly for missing, Jin landing lightly and spun at the ready. The oncomming attack flew fast and Jin barely got his shield up in time. The attack came through stronger than he expected and wore his injured shoulder even further.
Recoiling quickly, Jin charged again, swinging low going right and, twisting his wrist, followed with a left swing to the torso.

Carl then shot a purple beam from his eyes towards Jin. [[ Infection Beam - A thin, but fast, purple energy beam.

Jin recoiled after being blocked and quickly regained balance. He took the beam to his shield yet again, but it had more of an impact than he had braced for. His shield arm was feeling strange. Tingling. He shrugged it off for now.
His other attacks had failed so far, so it was time to use his strongest. He ripped off his shield and threw it at Carl. He knelt and smashed the scythe handle into the earth. Three rocks rose in front of him. Two took to either side while the other engulfed his scythe's blade.
They we off. The rocks floated at chest height and flew as fast as Jin could run, one slightly in front of the other. One rock would ht , then a second, then Jin would sweep kick Carl and slash into his chest.

Carl rolled on the ground, then launched himself back up by bouncing from his hands. He took out one of his scythes and threw it at one of the rocks around Jin. |

His shield had struck, providing a nice distraction. One rock was crushed, but the other was ready to hit. After Carl was chewing a mouthful of gravel, he'd hit the ground from Jin's sweep and then his torso would receive a nice visit from a stalagmite-scythe.
It would either work perfectly, or fail miserably.

The other rock flew off course and Jin completely missed his sweep kick. Before he had time to recover, the scythe blade tore deep into his chest. His face went pale. He staggered backwards clutching his chest, breathing heavily.
A massive bleeding wound.
Likely a broken sternum.
A few cracked ribs as well.
Spine damage?
Jules could only watch in astonishment.
His eyes were clouded. It didn't matter at this point. Screw the rep, Jin. If you die, you won't have any chance to rebuild it. Half-blind, Jin chucked his scythe far away from the both of them. He fell to the ground on his back, blood spilling into the dirt.
He wasn't sure if they the tournament rules declared a fight to the death or not. Although he was too distracted trying to hang onto his life force to think about it. All he hoped for at this point was mercy.

The referee came in. It seemed official. The match had ended. Maybe a little too soon, but nevertheless, it was over.
'Jin can no longer fight. Victory goes to Carl!'
Two medics with a stretcher came onto the field, and gently lifted Jin onto the stretcher, toting him away.
'Match 2 will begin soon!'

Carl watched as Jin was carried away, and sighed. "...He shouldn't die from that wound..." His scythes vanished in a flash of purple energy, and he walked out of the arena.
