Joseph(L)vs Chaos(W)[Sneak Attack][Ref: Yan]

Joseph watched as Chaos quickly snared his fireball into a net made from his energy. The boy couldn't deny that he was impressed by Chaos' ability to contain his attack in such a way. It was a less conventional move compared to other energy-based techniques. That wasn't the end of Chaos' astute solution; however, the net that captured his fireball quickly made its way toward the child.

Joseph quickly extended his arms and exerted his aura, generating a transparent field surrounding his form. He focused on the vestiges of his energy that he sensed from the fireball and from Chaos' makeshift net. The boy's ki made vibrations in the air surrounding him as Chaos net his way towards him. Once it was a meter from the boy, the net lost its shape, appearing as a spreading cloud before it swirled and circled Joseph, where it then spread and shifted to blue and surrounded him in a fiery layer of energy.

Chaos ascended to a higher level of power, and Joseph felt it. The power gap closed between them further. The child took note and was wary. Joseph decided not to raise his current level to match him at this moment. Though it was now marginal, Joseph still had the favor in terms of power. A better time to draw from his inner reserves or raise to the next level would present itself in time. Chaos rushed in to press the attack. A slash of ill-intent was on its way to his throat nearly faster than Joseph could realize.


The bot shot up his arms to intercept the blade. The sword crashed hard against his guard, driving his own forearms and fist to move back and crash into the boy's face delivering a shock of pain as his fist slammed into his nose and head. The child was knocked to his back and made dazed. Chaos' blade on the way down sparked survival instincts that acted to work through his dizzy state. Joseph quickly raised again, this time further from his head. The blade collided with the gauntlets. Another painful twinge struck through his forearm and wrist under the sword's weight. Joseph mustered all his strength to resist the weapon, fighting the Cosmic Emperor and the force of gravity on his side. He huffed and pushed back. The flames composed of the confiscated energy flared and exploded against Chaos, threatening to swallow him in a burst of fire. The child rolled and scurried back to his feet.

A torrent of fire swallowed him before his feet were completely under him. The child grunted in pain as the flames enveloped him. Joseph instinctively raised his arms in front of his face while closing his eyes, feeling like their liquid was about to dry. He extended his arms and manifested a circular blue field of ki that interposed and contained the incoming flames. He could still feel the intense heat beating against him even through the shield. The boy lowered one hand to the side, manifesting a blue sphere of ki. A shockwave of ki shot from the barrier dispersing the fire. The child then hurled the orb in his hand at Chaos. His adversary was upon him once more with a pair of diagonal slashes. He darted back and pivoted to escape its edge. Each strike went through his protective gui and grazed him, leaving a burning and stinging cut. The Demi-Earthling exerted another bust of blue fire at Chaos and then bounded back. More blue energy emerged from the boy,  this time it was not azure fire but rather what appeared to be tiny blue embers formed formed in the space around the boy and floated around him.

The Emperor’s resilience and craftiness allowed his reputation to proceed himself as he effortlessly absorbed the condensed Kamehameha and took its energy for his own. Joseph moved his hands from their firing position to a basic guard closing his hands and raising them in front of his face while. Joseph matched Chaos’ scrutinizing gaze. Joseph’s cuts, tattered clothes, and lingering burns showed that he wasn’t unscathed. However, he was sure his attacks were taking their toll on the Emperor. Joseph kept his gaze on Chaos as the Emperor spoke from behind his weapons, saying he had seen it all and that if he intended to fight him to gain fame, he would only die young. The boy wouldn’t deny that Chaos’ experience was vast and that it was possible that any tactics Joseph had and would employ could be things the Celestial faced before. As for dying young, his seemingly lost ally Recoome and the Demon Emi both made that outcome once before. Joseph could stress his relief at neither managing to have it stick. Regarding his motive, it was not in line with Chaos’ cynical proposal, and Joseph responded. “I’m not here for fame,” Joseph said simply. “I’m here to bring you in for your crimes while preventing the Cosmic Empire from rising back to power and to take back what you stole from my friend,” Joseph said flatly from behind his guard and opaque expression.


A ripple in the air made the already wary child look around. A crimson hue heralded another ominous act of interventional workings by Chaos. Joseph’s gaze was drawn to the tears, in reality, witnessing the chains emerging from them while exuding an eerie glow. The half-Saiyan extended his arms while holding his palms flat. A pulse of aqua-colored energy discharged from the child encircling where he stood. The chains stopped in the air, and sparks of blue electricity crackled around them before they dropped to the ground and disappeared.


Joseph saw Chaos accelerate promptly after their disappearance; such astounding speed could give the illusion of disappearance to the untrained eye, even well-trained eyes, when caught off guard. With the honed attunement of his vision and careful gaze at his adversary, he saw Chaos moving forward, preparing to swing his blade with ineffable power and ill-intent. Joseph dashed forward, inciting a shockwave that flattened where he stood before, similar to how Chaos had done. Joseph’s golden aura surrounded the area on his side, casting light on its way to the expanding dark presence. They met in the middle at blinding speed. The moment Chaos struck, his sword went through the child’s form, which split in two, or so it seemed. The hollow image of the child faded just as the real Joseph dropped into a slide between the Emperor’s legs, dipping beneath the blade’s deadly cut and the ghastly darkness that erupted from it, the dark energy grazing over his form as he slid beneath it and through the flames, between the fire and Chaos' blade cutting through his gui and shirt and cutting his torso underneath, he had to stifle groans of pain, a swift tilt of his head left narrowly had the edge of the blade just glancing his raised golden bangs and cutting strands hair, and seeing dark energy eclipse everything in his vision.


A pang of anxiety struck him before he immediately took a breath and steeled his nerves. The chains that Chaos had summoned earlier moved to wrap around the emperor, starting at his feet up to his body. The chains were enveloped in his ki, which not only allowed Joseph to locate and control them but would send a painful shock through Chaos’ body. It all happened in a blink. To some, it would have looked like Joseph vanished and emerged behind him with the Emperor in miraculously his chains; in reality, it was an act of prestidigitation. Joseph held on to the chains in each hand and jumped into the air, several meters high. He spun in a matter identical to his earlier spinning attack, attempting to lift Chaos in the air by his chains, swinging him in a circle, bringing the Celestial over, then down to slam him violently into the battle-torn streets. Afterward, Joseph stopped spinning and landed on the ground, dropping the chains and pulling out his cudgel. Chaos pressed the attack, blurring with his incredible speed. Joseph stepped back and pivoted, rotating his shoulder out the way of the heavy kick, then leaning nearly, becoming parallel with the ground to escape the sword swing that followed.

Joseph straightened himself while charging his staff with energy, snapping it forward with a flick of his wrist to strike at Chaos’ knee. He took his weapon in both hands and twirled it to deflect the thrust of Chaos’ weapon, then spun, holding his weapon in both hands like a baseball bat, and swung it to slam against Chaos’ body. The half-Saiyan made three jumps back to gain distance while watching Chaos and taking quick glances at the devastation from his high-level sword attack. Morrigan was the only warrior he had met of comparable skill with the blade. Joseph placed his staff in its case on his shoulder and widened his stance. Chaos was not only keeping up with his pace, but Joseph’s avoidance of evisceration was also beginning to narrow. The half-Saiyan lowered his stance and put his arms together in the shape of an x. Golden energy flared from him as the ground started to rumble beneath them. The ground gave in below Joseph’s feet, forming a crater; the bright, fiery aura enveloped his person, making him appear as a silhouette beneath as he started to levitate into the air.


Black bubbly dots emerged, outlining the child. The dots manifested and expanded to the edges of his growing and flame-like aura. The child uncrossed his arms as his aura emitted beams of light peppered in the bubbly dots, followed by sparks of electricity. The radiant energy began to settle, leaving a much thinner layer of energy encircling him where he could be seen clearly beneath. His bangs no longer fully stand; now, they were lower but raised at their ends. Flashes of blue electricity sparked around his gold aura. He gazed at Chaos with a look of sterner stoicism than the boy displayed before. He was now at his zenith. The full power of his Super Saiyan 2 state. Even so, he planned to further level the playing field. Joseph reached into his sash pulling out a small rolled up piece of paper held closed by a string. He untied it opening up the paper that began emitting a purple glow. The small sheet slowly turned to ash as the purple spread to cover his hands. 

Joseph lowered his stance while cupping his hands to the side. ”Kaaaaaaaaa-”Energy amassed between his palms, taking the shape of a blue sphere between his palms, radiating a warmth between his palms and against his body. ”Meeeeeeeeeee-” The ball grew in size, emitting greater warmth and brighter light as it expanded to the size of a basketball. "Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-Meeeeeeeeeeeeeee-"The child threw his hands forward, but no energy was released. The child’s image quickly faded just as the real Joseph appeared a meter behind Chaos and shot his hands forward. Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! The blast raced from his hands towards Chaos on its way to explode against the Celestial. If it connected with Chaos or the ground, the blast detonation would span across the ruined land, shaking the planet and making an explosion that could be seen miles away.  Destruction would not be all that was left in the attack's wake. Purple colored wisps floated around the battle. The feeling of divinity that was perpetually exuded by Toffit's atmosphere would feel muted in this battlefield and Chaos would find himself struggling to evoke some of his powers, wheather it was the magic that allowed him to change his breast plate or any divine powers he commanded.

The Emperor continued to show he had no shortage of surprises. Chaos quickly managed to disperse the child’s ki from his chains and stopped them from snaring him before admonishing him for attempting to wield one of his weapons against him. In truth, Joseph did consider that Chaos had a way to counter his chains. The boy was hoping that his speed and discharge of his energy would have been an effective countermeasure, but it was not enough.

Thankfully his following counterattacks found greater success, the first striking the Emperor successfully followed by the second swing of his weapon that was blocked but still drove Chaos into a wall of a ruined building. The boy couldn’t help but feel satisfaction in being able to send his enemy flying back in such a way. He attributed these successes to his speed and Chaos’s limited experience fighting staff wielders. However, the child remained wary, discerning it would only be a matter of time before the sagacious celestial adapted to dealing with his cudgel.

When Joseph had appeared behind Chaos and fired his blast, he had thought he had him. However, he witnessed a confounding occurrence instead of seeing his attack on the Emperor. The massive energy did not detonate and overtake him. Instead, it gradually diminished in volume and power, slowly fading before disappearing into what Joseph could only describe as some void. It was a dismal sight, witnessing such a powerful technique be done for seemingly naught. However, based on what Mona had told him and what he observed in this altercation, it could be chalked up as one of many things in his repertoire of freaky extradimensional shit.

Chaos’ latest state was revealed after Joseph’s attack was wholly nullified. The Celestial’s already vast power was now even more astounding. This made Joseph even more curious about Chaos’ ability to keep up with his pace in this form. However, the following comment surprised him more than the power that had been unveiled, saying not bad. That meant a great deal coming from someone with experience and a resume of life and death battles. “Thank you,” Joseph said. It felt awkward thankng an enemy. However, Joseph felt it was the tactful thing to do. "You're not bad either, as a fighter."

Suddenly more portals emerged, summoning the chains once more. Joseph caught one in the corner of his eye and jumped back; this allowed him to evade them only for a moment as they came from all sides and tied his limbs; Joseph gritted his teeth in frustration and struggled against the chains, his arms tensing as he pulled against them. The boy kept his gaze on Chaos, wondering why he wasn’t trying to stab him or blow him up; then, he saw Chaos pull out some container and down a liquid. Joseph could smell vestiges of the substance in the air as well as the peculiar change in the scent of Chaos’ blood. A type of stimulant, no doubt.

Another huff and another strong pull allowed the child to free one of his hands, snapping the chains; he then waved his freed arm and shot out a yellow bolt of ki that shot through the chains restraining his other hand before swiping that one releasing a wave of energy that severed the chains from around his feet.

Joseph narrowed his stance while extending his arms outward to form a guard while keeping his gaze upon his adversary. While adjusting his posture and holding his guard, something in the back of his mind found its way to conscious thought. He was enjoying this fight. The boy didn’t think he should have been as much as he was, but he couldn’t help it. This was the most fun he had in a fight in a while other than his brief bout with Mona in the Time Chamber or against Mazikeen and Morrigan, though the latter wasn’t a very fun adventure while he was having it. This had all the makings of his kind of fight. A powerful opponent that could contest his full strength, a barren battlefield without innocent bystanders who’d need protection and no cohorts interfering in the fight and being a nuisance.

Joseph rushed towards Chaos, his image blurring as he closed the distance in a mere moment. The half-Saiyan struck at Chaos’ stomach with an open palm, stepped in with a vertically fisted punch, and closed the combination with another palm strike at his stomach. Joseph then lowered down, attempting to grab Chaos’ leg and lift it, holding it in both arms and twirling into a spin towards the ground to make Chaos spiral his way into slamming on the concrete, where he’d violently bounce off the ground. Joseph then drew a hand back and shot it forward, tossing a blue bolt of ki at Chaos that would send the Emperor flying back before exploding.

Joseph did so much better this round and had a lot of good movement and visuals but his first post annoyed the crap out of me. It was actually well written but his RP did not match his actions. I have a huge pet peeve for people flat out blocking an attack in RP without using an action. I’m happy to reduce dmg on creatively taken attacks but you can’t just go “The sword crashed hard against his guard.” What guard? You took it to the face! And what was that Flame Shield? Why are you partially dodging an attack when you’re using Flame Shield?

I think if it weren’t for that he might have grabbed the reward. You can tell Chaos is kind of on the run with Joseph better controlling the flow battle, but he still wrote well and his attacks felt like they had more depth and better oomph. If Joseph keeps writing as he did the following two posts, Chaos should be worried.

Joseph DMG: 11.87%
Chaos DMG: 55.50%


Friendly reminder, I have a weakening system meaning the more damage you have the more damage you will take from the following attacks. I would say things can start moving very quickly at this stage, but quick in this battle is a lulz. See you guys again in 4 months.
