THIS IS WAR

"Not Bad "Earth", hopefully we're not the only ones who have dominant performances today." "Light" said smugly.

"You better watch your mouth new guy, and if you wanna see dominance just wait til you see my match." "Fire" said. As the two started to bicker, "War" then came in to break them up.

"Now now guys, you need to calm down. I mean come on, we're all warriors here. You guys need to act more professional." "War" said, being told to act more professional by someone as childish as "War" got the two to quit their bickering.

After 4 straight victories the 7 Elements had already accomplished their mission of winning the War Festival and conquering Extoria. Of course, there was still the issue of winning the rest of their matches as they would still be executed if they dropped a single match.

"Coming out next out of the eastern corner, is a fan favorite so expect an exciting match, he stands 5 feet 9 inches tall, weighing in at 185 pounds, he has an outstanding record of 1011 wins and zero losses, it's the King of the Sun, it's …. "Fire"!"

"Now for his opponent out of the western corner, he stands 6 feet 2 inches tall, weighing in at 205 pounds, he's making his War Festival debut, it's …."

"Elroy Rider"

Elory Rider

Age: 28

Ht: 6'2

Wt: 205 lbs

Special Ability: Melting Point

The fight began with Elroy rushing towards "Fire" and the two exchanged some punches. As he put his hands up to block, Elroy grabbed his arm and suddenly "Fire's" arm was ripped off completely. "Fire" then cauterized his wound to stop the bleeding.

"What was that? It wasn't brute strength that ripped his arm off, it was some kind of ability. I can't figure out what it was though. What do you think "Wind"?" "War" asked.

"I'm afraid I'm a bit confused as well. Not about his ability, his ability is melting. What doesn't make sense is how it works against "Fire", he should be immune to heat based attacks." "Wind" said, "Unless… of course that's how he does it!"

Elroy's ability allows him to bring anything he touches to its melting point instantly. The longer he touches an object the greater the area he melts.

"That would explain how he can melt even "Fire". He's going to have to keep this fight at a distance if he wants to win" "Wind" thought.

As "Wind" expected, "Fire" immediately created distance between the two of him and attacks with long range techniques. However, Elroy melted the ground to avoid the attacks. The match then turned into a stalemate of Elroy avoiding all of his long range attacks, and when he would close the distance "Fire" would create space between them.

"This is tough eventually one of them is going to have to take a chance to create an opportunity to win. But obviously doing so will be risky." "War" said.

"It must be embarrassing after talking himself up so much." "Light" said.

"Why doesn't he just use that awesome power he used to win a week ago?" "Darkness" asked, taking a break from his nap.

"That's a good question. We haven't really talked with him about it, but he hasn't used that power since that fight and I'm not sure if he even can now. It's clearly not a power he has full control over yet." "War" responded.

"Are you just going to keep running you coward? Why don't you stand and fight me like a man? I guess your courage is just as small as your stature." Elroy said mocking "Fire".

"What did you say?" "Fire" shouted as he started to run towards him.

"No! "Fire" he's clearly trying to goad you into a close quarters fight so he can use his ability. You need to keep your cool and stick to your strategy." "Wind" said.

"No you're wrong, he wasn't getting anywhere with that strategy. He needed to try something new." "War" said.

As "Fire" approached him, Elroy prepared to use his ability to attack one of "Fire's" vitals. However, as he was moving to grab "Fire" he engulfed his entire body in flames.

"Alright go ahead and grab me, let's see which one of us melts first." "Fire" said.

"Ha! Nice one buddy! This is going to turn into a battle of endurance now. Let's see who can pull this off." "War" said excitedly.

"What a reckless strategy. You really are a bad influence on him." "Wind" said exasperated.

The two were stood face to face, Elroy had his hand on "Fire's" face and suddenly the flames around him turned into a blazing inferno that engulfed them both completely. After that the fight was over in an instant.

After the fire and smoke dissipated, "Fire's" face was revealed to be horribly melted leaving him in critical condition. As for Elroy, all that was left of him was his charred bones.

"Hurry! Get him medical attention now!" "War" shouted as he rushed into the ring himself.

"I'll say this, it may not have been a dominant win but even I have to admit that his guys were impressive." "Light" said seemingly reluctantly.

"I guess it's your turn next "Wind". Do try to show why you were offered a position in the Royal Guard. I know I've never seen you as worthy of such a thing." "Light" said.

"He was offered a spot on a Royal Guard squad? That's news to me." Toudou thought to himself, "I'll have to ask him about it later, I'm sure Lord "War" would want to know too."

"What an incredible performance by "Fire" I certainly hope he ends up being alright. That being said let's move on to our next match."
