Intro

[[|Adam]] -Child of Apollo -The Shining Rockstar   Height: 5'10   Sexuality: Straight   Health Status: Healthy  Main Weapon: Bow/Arrow and a Knight Sword  – 11:54, December 4, 2013 (UTC) He enters the arena, feeling confident due to his victories over Scott and Nayra. He wields his armor and weaponry from his last fight. Chainmail over his torso, also having leather gloves and boots. His weapons being a guitar pick that can turn into a sword or a bow, he has a quiver of arrows strapped to his back. Along with a pack strapped to his right thigh, filled with caltrops and shuriken. Adam looks up, seeing it's currently overcast in the arena. Meaning clouds are blocking all of the sky, meaning there is a lack of shadows in the arena. Adam is unaware that that could limit his opponent's ability to shadow travel or hide among the shadow, since there are hardly any shadows to do so. He hides behind a wooden bench, looking around for his opponent

Adam ~ Son of Hades
	He had already arrived and set himself in an abandoned building, not liking the weather at all, he decided with his shadowtravelling gone it was best to just stick to a face to face fight, but he didn't know what his opponent was like though, and Adam would probably find it would be best to find out his opponents fighting style first. He tugged his jacket closer, making the ends hit his ankle but he could easily ignore that, he liked his clothes and how they are armour at the same time. His sword was already in his hand and his dagger in his belt whilst his other sword was strapped to the inside of his jacket. He was hiding on the top of piles of crates, with the perfect sight of the entrances of the building but was far to tall for anyone entering the building to just look around and see him.     ~ Time

Fight

Adam S.: He sighs loudly as he gets up from his hiding spot, deciding to check around the arena. Adam S. checks an abandoned building, not aware of his opponent's presence. After dashing around for a few moments, he views his opponent. So Adam S. sprints towards the piles of dry and empty crates, firing a light beam near Adam D. Watching as the wooden crates around him ignite in flame, crawling towards him.

Adam Darkwood: As he had already seen his opponent, Adam had already leapt off the crates and gracefully landed on the ground on the opposite side of the crates than his opponent. He made a small tremor in the ground and that was enough to make the crates topple to the ground and Adam began to sprint away before he could be squashed by the thousands of falling crates, and the fire that his opponent had made spread through crate after crate and flames could soon be seen everywhere and smoke covered the roof. By this time though, Adam had leapt out of the building and landed on a tree, safe and sound and he quickly climbed down and raced to the subway he had seen, when he entered the arena. He heard the building explode as the fire had found oil, making the flames explode and Adam fell to the ground as rubble and smashed glass flew over him, some scraped his jacket but due to the clothes being armour as well it made no damage to him, but he did not know if his opponent had survived or not but Adam knew he was safe for the moment as he raced into the deserted subway, he knew he was safe as his opponent did survive, would never have had the time to see him go to the subway because he had to get through the flames and the fallen crates. When Adam found the ventilation, he quickly unscrewed the hatch and climbed into it and placed the hatch back to where it was and crawled through the metal tunnels, and soon light had faded away, but that did not bother Adam and he climbed deeper and deeper.

Adam S.: He flailed around as the tremor shook around the ground, Adam S. dashes out. Avoiding the flaming crates, after getting about 10 feet from the building. His ears are pounded with the sounds of an explosion as he continues running. He considers the possibility of his opponent going into the subway, the darkness makes it a perfect place for a sneak attack. But he stays outside the entrance, ready for him to come out.

Adam D.: He climbed through the ventalation then climbed out the other end, too far from the other entrance. He climbed a tree and quickly but quietly made his way around back to the entrance so he could get a clear view of his opponent.

Adam S.: He sighs as he decides to look elsewhere, taking his pick out of his pocket and commanding to transform into his bow. He turns around, shocked to see his opponent. Adam S. quickly draws two arrows notching them and firing, he aimed towards his left lower leg grown tired of all his running.

The arrows hit him in the legs and he flew backwards, but he seemed like he had let the arrows hit him, but as he slammed to the ground he tried to wrestle the arrows out his leg.: {{{2}}}

Adam S.: He smirks as he commands his bow to switch to it's sword form, deciding to attempt more damage. Seeing the perfect opportunity to do so. He swings towards his right ankle, still not wanting him to run anywhere. He feels a bit of remorse while doing so, but he does want to win the match and knows he can heal him if he seriously injures him. Adam figures the arrow must have hit bone.

Adam Darkwood: He cursed as he felt his ankles being slashed but he had enough strength to summon an undead warrior to attack his opponent.

Adam S.: He seems somewhat scared of the incoming warrior, he jumps back a bit. Wanting to avoid it's reach, before making a swing towards both of it's lower legs. Adam hopes to cut through both of them and leave the undead soldier on the ground, helpless. He then points his blade towards Adam D., "Swear on the River Styx that you'll quit and we can be over and done with this crap." Adam S. says this, with heavy doubt his opponent can even stand up.

Adam: He grinned 'Never.' he said, reaching to a shadow and shadowtravelled to another building, hidden in the shadows, and he began to inspect the damage that his opponent has given him.

Adam S.: He sighs as he walks off, beginning his hunt for Adam D. After searching for a while, he enters the building. Gripping the hilt of his sword, expecting an attack. Once he sees he isn't attacked, he searches for his adversary. He listens for breathing, hearing that of his opponent's in the distance. He runs towards the sound of the breathing, collecting 3 ninja stars and quickly throwing them towards Adam D. Adam S. then uses his sword to make a powerful swing towards his torso.

Adam D: He saw the sword coming and resurrected the warrior who took al the weapons to him and when the weapons were in the warriors body, Adam sent the warrior back to hell and made a tremor in the ground trying to knock his opponent to the floor.

Adam S.: Adam S. pulls his blade as the warrior returns to the underworld, hardly able to maintain his balance due to the tremor. He makes a quick thrust towards Adam D's left shoulder once it subsides, while firing a beam of light towards his stomach. Adam S. hopes to set his coat on fire, not thinking he can run away with his injuries. Adam S. is not aware that there aren't many shadows in the room.

Adam: The flames hit the coat but it didn't set it alight and he smirked breathing hard. 'Sorry nonflammable coat.' he said as the coat protected him from the flames but he managed to roll to the side making the thrust only graze his shoulder and picking up the sword next to him he made a thrust to his opponents side.

Adam S.: He grunts in pain as the sword cuts his thigh, blood trickles down.  Adam S. steps back and creates a powerful flash of light, hoping to blind Adam D. He then swings his sword towards Adam D's sword, hoping to knock it out of his hand. He then holds his blade upside down, making a powerful stab towards Adam's D's left thigh.

Adam D: He saw the flash coming and covered his eyes with his arms and waited for it to be gone then block his attack but he barely dodged the thrust coming towards his thigh, he swallowed some ambrosia, knowing it wont be automatic but he could already feel the cuts closing a bit. He threw a dagger at his opponent and began to crawl away giving him enough time for his cuts to heal and he stood up wiping blood off his face. 'Your good.' he remarked. 'But you haven't won yet.'

Adam S.: He seems surprised at how he avoided the attacks, since he launched them during the flash. He fires another beam of light towards an empty crate behind Adam D, causing it to burst into flames. Starting a fire, Adam S. hopes the smoke from the flames will cause him to cough or cloud his version. As the flames spread, Adam S. makes a powerful swing towards Adam D's knees.

Adam: He uses one hand to cover his nose from the smoke and stepped sideways, dodging the thrust and brought his own sword down at his oponents shoulder.

Adam S.: Adam S. smirks as he sheds his flesh and enters a pure plasma state. The attack doing absolutely nothing to him, his blade growing hot with his touch. Adam S. touches a crate next to him, it quickly burns and the flames grow as it burns more crates next to it. As he dashes towards Adam D, his steps burn the wooden floor. Thus starting a powerful blaze in the room, Adam S. grips his now red hot sword and swings towards Adam D's waist. No shadows are visible as smoke fills the air, it threatens to suffocate Adam D. Adam S. feels his energy draining quickly, knowing full well he can't keep this up for long.

Adam: As he already had one hand covering his mouth he was safe from the smoke but the flames whip his arms and he curses and as he see's the sword swinging towards his waist he had no option but to fall back onto the floor, his arm falling into flames and he clenched his teeth and decided to go all out, making a tremor which went for double the amount of time of last times he has used this but this drained his energy and at the same time he made an undead warrior attack his opponent from behind whilst using his barely burnt arm he threw a dagger at his face.
