Thom - Vs. Starox

[16:12:35] The ookami waited as the wind blew by. So his challenge would be Thom? He expected this day to come. His mind wonder how this would go. The ookami would need to be smart. As he knew that Thom was a very well adjusted kid. He saw the potential and also the danger the boy could be at the time. The wolves would wait also as the orders were getting prepared.

"Beautiful day it is to be alive."

The ookami would swish his tail back in forth. Waiting for the challenger. One thing he knew was it was best to prepare mentally and physically. Cracking his knuckles as his eyes stayed close he would thin hard. The approaching steps coming forward.

As he would open his eyes he would smirk.

"I see you have come...Thom."
(Starox)
[16:16:00] Goggles, check. Jacket, check. Glowing blue orb, check.

Alright, with everything ready Thom would leave the gates of Nostvale, heading out to the prarie. With his letter responded to the evel year old would have breathed, before preparing himself for what was to happen. Red lighting twirled and sparked around him due to an increase in exictment as the little orb of blue cackled to him, but Thom scoffed at it.

"I'll do better then last time. Just watch.."

The boy insisted, walking further away from the city until the wall was just barely in view. It would be at this time the grey eyes underneath the goggles would make eye contact with the ookami he was looking for and his wolf back.

"I have come and it is a pretty good day!" The boy called out, taking a deep breath in. The orb would twirl around the youth in extastic exictment.

"This is going to be fun."
(Thom)
[16:22:49] The ookami would look at the numbers. The boy had two sashes. Now he wonder how the hell he got two. Still he would shake his head. That was not the point at the moment. The wolves would get up as he came to be facing Thom. The wind blowing yet again. He would crack his neclk with anticipation. Thom had grown so strong over the time.

As he would step to the side the winds would gather. He would take a vial out and place it on the ground. His eyes grew with intensity. The blood would begin to cover him. As the ookami wanted to feel the excitement.

"You want this sash? Then come Thom! Come take it from me with all you got. Don't hold back because i assure you. I won't be holding back on you at all."

With the winds gathered he would nod to the wolves would were growling. They prepared to fight also. Things were about to get tough. No holding back for the young magi. As he would need to see that Starox was not taking this game as a joke.

With that he would slam his staff into the ground.

"Come fight."


(Starox)
[16:23:40] Taking a final deep breath Thom would prepare for the battle about to begin. The blue glaive would be taken off his back and the red sparks of eletrical power shrouded him. The grey eyes closed for perhaps only a moment, imagining the door to the spirit world in his mind. His hand would extend, touching the handle and slowly pulling it open before reaching in and taking out some of the power that dwelled inside.

The little orb around the boy would have sparked a little bit more, taking a little bit more of a form. It would be vaugely humanoid but only just such, hanging out of the child's sight as they would once again open their eyes. Spinning their gliave a little bit in the air and doing a little bit of fancy footwork, Thom would draw more of the orb's power into reality, though still honestly not that much.

"I'm not going to hold back.. I hope that I at least prove a challenge.. Though I gotta say, last sash holder I fought beat me pretty badly so I'm slightly worried. Still,

Nothing tried, Nothing got! LETS DO THIS!!!"
(Thom)
[16:24:32] {combat} You killed a Direwolf! (+1 EXP, +1cr)
[16:24:32] {combat} You killed a Direwolf! (+1 EXP, +1cr)
[16:24:32] {combat} You killed a Direwolf! (+1 EXP, +1cr)
[16:25:23] {combat} Starox has been defeated by Thom! They're unable to continue fighting.
[16:30:30] "RAAAAAAAAAH!!!"

The battle would be off to a strong start. Thom would have run to the side, using his hellstorm to slow down Starox if only for a second before teleporting towards his flank. The ookami dodged the first waves placed down by this manuver, but there was more attacks to come as the younger magi flew towards him.

Water and lighing collided, though the battle drew near an end only when Thom got lucky. Feeling a bit of the elemental's power the youth would have drawn on it, using the speed to side step a beam of water flying towards his face. The boy would turn himself into a bolt of lighting, dashing back and forth at Starox before releasing a wave of shadowflame and finally one more lighting strike would finish the round.

The fight was not over yet however and the ground would be scorched already but Thom twirled his glaive again, closing his eyes to breath for a second before pulling further on the orb's power. Sparks of blue lightning came from it, showering the boy a little though only providing minimal coverage.

Still the battle wasn't as if it were entirely one way. Glancing down Thom stared at some hits taken to his armor, dents in it and the like before glancing back up to Starox with a grin. The orb cackled again, but this time not towards Thom's incompetence.

"Alright lets go even faster this time!" The boy said spinning the glaive once more.
(Thom)
[16:31:21] Thom

The magic the boy would display was indeed terrifying. It was enough to trigger the ookami. The lightning burst would hit him over and over. The boy was simply appearing behind Starox as he gritted his teeth. The burst hitting him over and over again. He would see that it was time to think more smarter.

He would see the pack get took down. As he would then know it was not the same. It was a new measure of pain he was getting hit with. The fire would slam into his body over and over again.

Though as Thom was he would fall. The burning feeling in his body. The black ooze would then begin to drip. The antiicpation of holding back had made its mark. The ookami blood would turn from red to a dark ichor as he would smirk. All of a sudden a different voice would speak.

"Alright time to play!" The virus taking over his mind as pure excitement would bring out the feralness inside the venom. His teeth grew more sharper and claws more deadly. The skin mutated and more aggresive looking.
(Starox)
[16:32:12] {combat} You killed a Direwolf! (+1 EXP, +1cr)
[16:32:12] {combat} You killed a Direwolf! (+1 EXP, +1cr)
[16:32:12] {combat} You killed a Direwolf! (+1 EXP, +1cr)
[16:32:12] {combat} Thom has been defeated by Starox! They're unable to continue fighting.
[16:36:28] Back in forth!

The two would collide. The use of both magics hitting all over the field. He would watch the wolves fall. The ookami didn't care as the black ichor would hit all over the field. The more deadlier form of Starox not caring for damage. Seeking the boy down. He would stay abck but charge when the time was right.

As Thom would keep hitting him he would smash Thom back with the use of sound and also wind. He would then see Thom was open and smash into his body with his deadly claws. Then blowing him to the ground with his powerful wind magic.

The black blood would drip on the ground. The ookami bleeding would only increase the virus aggression. He would lick the blood and eyes showed it wanted it more.

"MORE PAIN! Get up Thom! I want to see you fight more! Yes, fight me more!" Thom would see that the blackooze was not normal. The ookami body more bulkier and mutatted. His face shwoing a whole new feral side. The effects of the chimera virus sinking deeper.
(Starox)
[16:40:44] Blood and black ichor.

Red liquid would fall onto the plants below as Thom fought more, though this round wouldn't be quite as lucky. The eleven year old was taken down, and though the direwolves which served Starox would have fallen the man who commanded them did not. Thom would be knocked onto his back and grunt before using the glaive to haul himself to his feet.

Crimson liquid was covering him again, how annoying.. On the bright side though, this time the boy was wearing red instead of black so it wouldn't show nearly as much. Taking a deep breath in the boy calmed himself, before focusing on Starox, red lighting flashing about as the orb cackled to Thom, though this time not just laughing.

"Be faster."

It told him him, causing Thom to blink. It was the first time the orb had actually said something rather then just float about.. But the boy would give it a nod, standing up fully and twirling the glaive. A slight smile would cross his face despite staring at the black ooze and the feral side of the ookami.

"Alright.. I'll fight you more Starox.. I'll keep fighting.."
(Thom)
[16:41:36] {combat} You killed a Direwolf! (+1 EXP, +1cr)
[16:41:36] {combat} You killed a Direwolf! (+1 EXP, +1cr)
[16:41:36] {combat} You killed a Direwolf! (+1 EXP, +1cr)
[16:42:27] {combat} Starox has been defeated by Thom! They're unable to continue fighting.
[16:47:34] "Jump." Said the orb.

"Wha-" But before Thom could refuse the action the boy would follow through, red lighting taking him towards the left and away from Starox before the wolf would strike towards the begining of the fight. Thom couldn't reach but it was an itneresting start. And it was not the only move that the orb would tell him to do.

"strike." "Burst" "Faster" "Shield." For once the worlds of the orb would be on Thom's side rather then against him, guiding him around the battle field as the wolves attempted to attack him before being knocked down. With them out of tthe way.. The battle wasn't easy but it was definatlely closer. Lighting struck from above but it barely seemed to slow down Starox but it was enough for Thom to keep close to the ookami mage.

Close enough to land.

And though he definately felt the pain of the water whenever it collided with him, as well as that of the blood and the wind the boy kept going forwards, embracing and facing it, taking the advice of the orb to do such. The boy chuckled slightly, getting more into both the pain and the nejoyment of the battle.

"THIS IS GREAT!" The boy called out before the final blow, red lighting striking out to knock down Starox before Thom would land and take his breath..

"Was.. Was that it..?" Admittedly the boy was also on his last legs and as such wondered if he truely one or if Starox was winding up for another blow.
(Thom)
[16:55:15] Failure

The ookami would attack as the feeling in his body burned. The spirit with a aggressive and violent attitude. It went out for blood. Though Thom didn't notice probably at all. The ookami would be slammed by fire magic and other kinds of magic. The stuff hurted like hell. It made him wince in major pain. As this happened he would come back for more.

His flesh beginning to churn.

As the wolves were killed off he would keep going. The bolts slamming around him. He could only dodge them for so long. Though Thom seem to be having a good time. The ookami on the other hand was having the fight for his being. The creature battled Starox for his body at this moment. The virus making the mutation stronger.

The black ooze splattering all over as Starox was hit. As the charge was coming the bolt would hit. Looking up at the sky the ookami would smirk as he fell to the ground. The sash falling over to Thom. Starox had been defeated. The hellish feeling of losing also swept through him.

Starox struggling to get up would only nod his head. One more blow would probably be the end. Was he disappointed at this lost. Indeed the ookami had not felt he could lose. Yet, things were like this at times. With that Starox would be trading sashes with Thom.
(Starox)
[16:59:31] Success.

The orb cackled slightly, but remained silent. Thom glanced towards it, awaiting for it to say something more but as it darted from side to side its words would be silent, merely its constant laughter. The grey eyes would then turn from it as the red jacket wearing youth made his way across the field. The occultic lightning flittering about him would slow down further and further, before finally he would no longer be surrounded by it.

Thom quickly corssed the distance, before taking the sash that Starox had and swapping it with his own. It might be odd however the note that it would not be the 49th sash, but the higher 44th sash instead. Keeping the lower one for himself?..

"That was a good fight Starox! It was really fun!" Thom called out, wiping off a bit of his own blood as he tasted the coppery liquid. "But I think I'm number 34 now.." The orb cackled and Thom frowned at it but it darted straight out of sight.

"Anyways.. Whats all this black stuff coming out of you..?"
(Thom)
[17:07:12] THe nature of the virus wanted to strike the child. The ookami defeated by a human. The virus making him want to kill everyone. Yet, he would try to take as much control as he could of himself. He would on for now as to be a good solider. Yet, he needed to be calmed soon rather then later. A smile of trying to keep himself together was shown.

Taking the 44th sash he would only keep smiling as the black ooze and blood would drip.

"F-f-f-fun indeed my friend. Had a good time. I must go now. Though i be back for my..sash."

He would not answer on the virus. As the longer he stayed the higher of danger would increase. The ookami needed to see if the medicine was ready. His body would go back to normal. Yet, his mind still blinking of pain and nerveness. He could feel it eating at him.
(Starox)
[17:11:28] The question was unawnsered causing Thom to give an inquisitive look. But moments after Thom shook his head, understanding something. "Alright, I get it. You're a Nostvale soilder so you gotta do all your soilder stuff. I won't keep you longer then." A nod of the youth's head as he smiled at Starox.

The whirling of the orb went around Thom, whispering little things that could barely be made out as it whizzed by. It was.. Rather distracting but at least it wasn't laughing this time. "And I had a good time too! I hope we can have fun again like this soon! And feel free to fight me for it any time!" Thom declared. If he was going to keep this sash after all he needed to fight for it.

"I'll keep trying to be stronger! So I hope we can spar again!" Thom then glanced over at the wolves. His magic hadn't meant to hurt them too badly and the boy could only see the slight rise of their chests. "Sorry about the dire wolves though.."

"And do you need help getting back?"
(Thom)
[17:12:19] Starox: N-n-no they be fine and i will also no worries.
