Tapion rolled the gem between his fingers, staring into its scarlet depths with no particular thoughts on his mind. In all honesty, he had been thinking of literally nothing for the past hour, ever since he had sparred that young human girl. Well...he knew she was a human girl, at least. Age was a still a touch and go for him. Hard to tell when he was over a thousand and still looked like he was in his twenties. Hmm, maybe I should start paying attention to the subtleties of mortal aging. As it stands now, I'm only able to get a general age, but a lot of beings out there are just...strange in their youthfulness or old appearance, he mused for a moment, a thought finally entering his head. With a slight sigh, though, the ashen warrior banished the thought. He really should not be worrying about how to tell a twenty year old from a twenty-one year old. It just was not a good use of his time. After another moment spent in silent absent-mindedness, he grasped the stone in his gauntlet, and focused his mind upon it. Shortly after, that familiar feeling of in and then up rocketed his consciousness into the Astral Realm. Already the world had changed to his desire. An endless sea of black sand stretched to every horizon, with roiling dark clouds overhead. Bolts of lightning arched throughout the clouds, adding just a tinge more light to the darkness. Now to wait for my opponent. ---------------------------------------------- Word Count: 258 Word of Tapion: 258 I have Combat Rune |

[Combat Rune] An endless ocean of black sand stretched further than even his eyes could see. Above, the tumultuous sky was not any brighter save for sporadic cracks of lightning. One particularly bright flash illuminated his figure for an instant, though his scarlet gaze shone in the darkest conditions. Even in this dim light he could make out a familiar figure that he sensed since entering the astral plane. The mohawk outline was as much of a giveaway as the energy that permeated the desert. Confident strides took him forward to where Tapion was waiting. He flashed the ashen warrior a devilish grin,one crafted from countless victories, that revealed his perfectly white teeth. Tapion was possibly the only being that could best Chaos with a bladed weapon; to say he was excited for such a test of his skill would be a gross understatement. His lips remained curved upwards and there was a noticeable hop in his normally smooth gait. A few deep breaths steadied his emotion as he came to a stop in front of the master swordsman. Friend or foe, the silent moments that passed between them held a suffocating amount of tension. Much like their differing moral views, neither warrior could be labeled with such trivial terms as good or evil, friend or foe. Both men had their enigmas still yet to be uncovered or revealed to each other, but the one certainty they shared: respect. ”It’s been awhile,” he said calmly. Mere feet away from the lone hero Chaos stood with his hand held out as a crimson ripple appeared above it. His favored weapon, Ea, descended from the red portal and roared to life in response to his touch. He allowed his sword arm to fall casually to his side, the simple action carving a narrow ravine in the sand behind him. His heart rate quickened as their exchange drew closer and his breathing became rapid, though he hid behind his mask of mild interest. Ea spun idly between them not moving a centimeter despite the shaky giddiness that flowed through his body. The instant Tapion was ready and their blades crossed he burst into action, his muscles firing in the practiced chain of events that lead to a perfect slash from shoulder to hip. His feet shuffled to maintain his balance in the event of a parry and he maneuvered into a defensive stance. He reveled in his own luck, landing a spar with a man who could be his better at one aspect of combat. Perhaps the day would come to show that Chaos had become the superior swordsman, alone on a level none could hope to touch.

Tapion looked to his side as a power made itself present in the realm. It was massive, and he knew from experience that it was no where near the true strength of the arriving opponent. This energy is greater than Seta's had been. That...is troublesome, he mused briefly before his dark green eyes shifted into a lupine form with golden irises. Before him stood a familiar face, the fourth Emperor of the Cosmic Empire. The sheer increase in power, it could only have been done in one way. "So, you actually went ahead and used an entire world to empower yourself. I am disappointed, Chaos. I had thought you would take the more difficult path to attain power," he replied, his face hinting at his emotions with only a slight frown. A red scar in space appeared near the half-demon, a sword dropping from it into his hand, and one eyebrow rose on the lone hero's face. "You wish to have a match of blades with me? Fair enough. I think that even with your newfound strength, you'll find my sword more than worthy," Tapion stated, drawing his own from its sheath and crossing the tip briefly with the hybrid's own spinning weapon. His mind stretched out as steel touch spinning steel, sparks flying and thoughts heard over the screech. With a faint smile touching his lips, he burst into action just as Chaos did, taking a short backstep just out of the whirling blade's reach. He had seen the attack coming, his mind already set on a perfect response. Stepping in, his sword came in for two quick, but powerful strikes with both hands upon the hybrid. One whipped out towards the upper right arm while the other flowed from the follow-through of the first for the left side of the abdomen. Almost immediately after, the legendary blade continued to strike out as Tapion followed through on the first assault, only one hand holding the large, heavy blade. The weight of the sword spun him around as desired, it coming descending down towards Chaos's left should towards the hip. As it descended from the strike, he used the momentum and switching back to both hands gripping to bring the blade curving around for a vertical slash rising up before bringing it back into a more defensive position. If he wants to test his swordplay, I will show him just how much farther he has to go.

In a flash of brilliance Tapion narrowly side-stepped Ea’s whirring teeth. A rush of adrenaline flooded his body. His blade shot back to a defensive position between himself and Tapion. ”I disappoint you for attaining power? This is what holds you back, Tapion!” The lone-hero’s sword sliced the air towards Chaos’ shoulder. His eyes widened in marvel at the swordsman’s speed and staggered back two steps. He twisted away from the tip of the blade as it neared an inch of his skin. Tapion’s sword came again even faster to plunge into the Regent’s abdomen. He growled, turned his body square to the threat and brought Ea down on the blade with all of his force. A bead of sweat rolled down the bridge of his nose as the conflict he so badly desired heated up. The mohawked warrior spun with the weight of his heavy blade carrying him and then tried to slash across the Regent’s body. His eyes flicked towards the flash of steel, illuminated by a strike of lightning, and Ea was thrust upwards to intercept the attack. A full spectrum of sparks lit up their surroundings as the two legendary weapons grinded against one another. His eyes narrowed on his enemy who had once again fallen into a spin. The Z-Sword slashed upwards and Chaos had already leaned backwards. A burst of Ki channeled into his legs propelled him into a practiced backflip outside of Tapion’s reach, though the sword did manage to take a few hairs at the apex of his flip. He landed several feet away unconcerned for his cheap haircut. Besides, nothing that happened here would be permanent. All the more reason to push himself to the limit of his abilities against the last obstacle in his way of becoming the greatest swordsman to exist. Ea came to a rest and he slung the blade over his shoulder casually like a baseball bat. ”You’re still as fast as ever. Even with my jump in power, your speed is still beyond mine. No matter, I’ll beat you with superior technique!” He rushed forward in a blur of speed that kicked up a slip-stream of sand in his wake. A few more steps and he’d be upon his opponent. Eight feet away he lept into the air, his eyes trained on Tapion and Ea screaming with energy overhead. He came down with a thunderous slash that carved a trench behind his enemy. His feet hit the ground an instant later and he pulled his spinning weapon into his body and swung it horizontally to cleave his last obstacle in half. A second crater formed across the previous behind the lone-hero forming a massive ‘t’ that slowly filled with sand like water. A flame blacker than the empty sky formed around Chaos’ body. Ea spun faster than before and bolts of crimson and black energy crackled along its length. In a flash of movement only a handful of individuals could hope to follow he swung, knuckles white, across Tapion’s chest with all the raw power he could muster. The ground behind Tapion erupted in an ebony shower of sand as a new scar was carved over the last two.

Tapion felt the touch on his mind as Chaos dodged the attacks. He would have to learn a more solid defense against telepathic intrusions, but that was for a later time. It was time to focus on the battle at hand, and show the hybrid that power did not mean skill. "Superior technique? You fight like a brute, using only strength to win your battles," he responded, already positioned to give a faithful reply in steel writing to any attack mustered against him. Suddenly, the half-demon attacked. A faint smile was upon the ashen warrior's face as he saw his opponent rush in, and his form shimmered, gone as the first strike cleaved the sands below their feet. To the right, he reappeared, in the same exact defensive position as before. Suddenly, the hybrid's speed increased greatly as the next slash came roaring out. Unable to move in time, a scarlet touch screamed into existence around Tapion as he caught the spinning sword upon his own. Sparks flew as strength battled strength, his muscles straining even with the increase brought upon by a low level Kaio-ken. Below, the sands nearly liquefied from the impact, a temporary crater forming under his feet before he finally pushed the weapon off to the side. "You do have much greater strength than I do now, Chaos. I even had to use Kaio-ken to match you. But let us see how that holds up," he stated, a mysterious glint touching the faint smile upon his face. Like a coiled snake, the Z Sword began to move, waving back and forth hypnotically before the lone hero suddenly appeared behind the hybrid. "Eyes, throat, intestines, right bicep, left inner thigh, groin and heart," he stated, calling out each point that his sword had slashed at, ending with the last that he had thrust the legendary weapon towards. Spinning, he released a crescent wave of ki that rolled towards the demon, aimed to send his opponent careening off even as a second followed close behind it, albeit weaker without the scarlet power he had held.

His eyes widened as they watched Tapion’s hypnotically wavering blade. The fire around him condensed to his form almost instantly, and he braced his body for impact. The combination of instinct, experience, and skill narrowly saved the Regent, the legendary Z-Sword slamming against his protective ‘second skin’ just an instant after. Damn..he nearly penetrated my armor and Ki. That's-- --exciting. A crescent of Ki erupted from the edge of Tapion’s weapon too fast for Chaos to react. And he knew it. He smiled wide just before the energy slammed into his chest and took him off his feet. His smoking figure twisted in the air only to be struck once again with a weaker slice of energy. Any attempt to correct his flight was ruined by the second Ki slash and he was tossed into the ground, bouncing several times before coming to a stop. Pain shot through his left arm. He pushed himself up with his sword arm and dusted the sand from his clothes. A few meters in the distance his opponent stood at the ready. ”You are something else. And that sword...I’d love to add it to my collection” he said through a smug grin. His left arm rose with excruciating slowness until it was upright. Behind him, more than a dozen crimson ripples appeared in the air. The Regent remained motionless and smiling. Brillianty decorative blades poked through the portals, each reflecting the little light available in impossible ways. Letting gravity do its job, Chaos dropped his arm signifying the hail storm of blades. Sixteen swords and spears, some not seen for centuries, rocketed from the red ripples to turn Tapion into the galaxy’s strongest pincushion. The moment erupted into chaos, the volley of weapons easily capable of leveling a city block, and the Cosmic Regent rushed forward on their heels. Ea whistled with energy that was manifest in crimson tendrils, the Regent’s hair an absolute mess as he sprinted towards the familiar enemy. It was possible, and likely, that Tapion would dodge or block most of the blades. But as each weapon desperately tore through the air, Chaos drew closer behind the veil of steel. He kicked off the ground propelling himself high above Tapion with Ea held out to his side ready to be swung. A claymore passed next to him en route for the swordsman and Chaos kicked off of it, redirecting his flight path to a sharp angle left-and-down rather than arching up and down to his target, then swung. The blade would arrive just after the last weapon exited the portals, and it would lazily trace a cut from left shoulder to right hip. However, the slow slice held a darker secret: as Tapion would make a move any direction (especially backwards) a maelstrom of crimson energy would fly off of its edge catching the hero by surprise if all went to plan.

Tapion watched coldly as Chaos fell to the black sands, smoking from the ki he had unleashed. He assumed a basic stance, ready for the continued assault from the hybrid. That new power his opponent held...small attacks like the ones he had delivered thus far would not quash such strength. I can feel the sorrow of the dead in his ki. How many lives did he sacrifice for power? he mused, silent against the desire for the Z Sword that the emperor held. That man would never hold such a dangerous weapon, not as long as he still drew breath. One eyebrow rose on the ashen warrior's face as he saw sixteen red slits in space appear. Frowning ever so slightly, his lupine eyes watched the heads of sixteen different weapons appear from those tears. How did Chaos get his hand on those? I recognize most of them, and I know for a fact that at least seven of them are in Vault. The island has sent me no reports of lost artifacts...they must be copies. Good ones, at that, to fool him into keeping them, Tapion determined, his muscles tightening. All the blades shot out, and he rushed straight towards them. Like the most graceful of dancers, he weaved in and out of the sixteen weapons, the cloth on his body getting cut, but his body escaping damage. As he came upon the last, he brought his blade up, and another scream of metal upon spinning metal was heard throughout the realm. "You should check how real your arsenal is, Chaos," he managed to say, before a wave of crimson energy came roaring out of the hybrid's sword. It blasted him backwards, and he bounced once loosely on the ground before he was able to correct his movement and skid a few more yards along the soft sands. Standing up, he looked at Chaos with a slight hint of surprise in his eyes. "Hmm, interesting." The lone hero took his sword and rested it upon his shoulder. Some smoke rose from where the energy had struck him, and a scar had been burned into his armor. Slowly, his body began to fade from feet up, and a faint smile touched his lips. "Your swordsmanship still needs a few centuries of work to catch me, but you are obviously getting skilled in combat. Next time we meet in battle, I'll make sure to let loose my limits." Those were the last words before he fully faded away from the Astral Realm, back to the reality of his world.
