It was axiomatic that Chaos was a force to be reckoned with, even when Joseph thought he had him where he wanted him. A simple lull and a lapse in judging his position allowed the deadly Celestial to get off the back foot. Joseph watched as Chaos quickly slipped between each of his jabs. The Demi-Earthling’s gaze followed him as the Celestial evaded.
When Joseph started spinning, he thought the element of surprise would carry his strikes to success. The Sagacious Emperor reacted impeccably to even his unorthodox attack. Joseph could only catch of glimpse of Chaos dropping below the strike. The boy quickly exerted his ki, veiling him in an outline of white energy that layered over his person. He felt a nasty hook connect to his lower back. He could only imagine how much that would have hurt without the shield. The next move was a slash at his throat. He leaned back, and Chaos’ blade slid across the field layered over Joseph’s scarf. Joseph heard a metallic chime as he saw sparks fly out into the distance. The veil of energy flickered and became thinner.
A single beat wasn’t missed on Chaos’ end. The Emperor followed with a power thrust kick that crashed into Joseph’s torso. The boy huffed and stepped back, dampening the shock from the kick. Chaos quickly proceeded with a two-handed thrust of his blade. The Demi-Earthling gritted his teeth as he swung an arm at the sword and pivoted. His forearm met the blade, its cutting edge tearing through the waning shield and grazing his arm. Joseph fought through the pain and committed to his motion, trying to hook an arm around Chaos’ waist. Joseph stepped in, moving behind the Celestial as he attempted to wrap his arms around him, latching each hand on the opposite forearms as tightly as he could. Joseph then tried to lift the Emperor from this position while leaning back, threatening to send Chaos headfirst into the concreted streets. If he managed this, the impact would incite a quake that would ripple through the entire planet.
Afterward, Joseph would release his grip and bound away. He quickly slipped his fingers into a pouch tied to his sash. He opened it and pulled out a Senzu bean. The boy promptly placed it in his mouth and chewed it up thoroughly in a mere moment. He swallowed and felt a wave of elation flood him. His breaths steadied, his wounds mended, and his heartbeat slowed. The feeling of relief from the restitution was ineffable. These were the restorative properties many warriors enjoyed when they took one. The beans bolstered morale, restored vigor, and incited annoyance in many fighters across the universe. Joseph gazed at Chaos as his emerald eyes narrowed in focus. He lowered his stance as golden energy erupted from him as he approached the Emperor to engage him once again. One shall stand. One shall fall.

Health: 52% | Chaos yelped in surprise as he was yanked off his feet, deadlifted by the wild Saiyan, and slammed head first into the ground. Spiderwebbing cracks rushed away from the impact and Chaos remained stuck there for an instant, legs suspended in the air and buried shoulder deep in the ground.
His ears rang incessantly and he couldn't feel his fingers and toes, but managed to tear himself free. He flipped to his feet, instinctively taking up a defensive stance.
Luckily, Joseph again gave a break in the action. This time it was to heal and recover, a fact that both pleased and terrified Chaos. Finally his opponent was nearing the end of his bag of tricks. On the other hand, it seemed the recovery did its job based on the spike in Joseph's power. His eyes narrowed and he reminded himself to trust the process.
When Joseph bounded toward him he was ready for it, moves calculated and efficient from his prepared stance, shifting his sword into striking position.
He sidestepped the incoming blur of golden light, thrusting his empty hand at Joseph's ribs in a vicious palm strike. His dark blade whistled through the air as he swung it at the Saiyan's shoulder girdle with butcher accuracy and finesse.
He released the hilt and caught it in a backhand grip in one fluid motion, reversing the blade's path with a stab aimed at Joseph's sternum. His momentum took him into a half spin with his left hand swinging around as an eye-level back-fist.
Chaos flipped the blade over in his hand in a heart beat and the sword flashed back around diagonally shoulder to hip. His left foot darted inside Joseph's immediate position and tried to thrust a couple fingers into the Saiyan's soft eyeball.
His forearm shot forward to smash into Joseph's chest in an effort to quickly get back outside of his reach, while staying just in striking distance of his sword. The blade glinted menacingly in the orange light of the molten landscape as it darted forward in an expertly measured stab.
Without warning he leapt towards Joseph with another devastatingly precise stab, hoping to catch the young warrior off guard. As soon as he touched the ground his far leg snapped forward in a thrust kick to push Joseph back into his preferred range.
The dark sword was alive in his hands, weaving through the air between him in a masterful flourish. He exploded into motion behind the steel curtain of death, slashing at the previously targeted shoulder once more. The slash took him around in another spin, riding the wave of momentum and dancing around Joseph’s side while trying to slam his elbow into that shoulder.
All the while he relentlessly pursued his opponent with his sword constantly threatening, faint whispers chattering from the horrible weapon, voices that lasted for Saiyan blood.

The moment Chaos stepped out of Joseph’s center, the Demi-Earthling turned to follow him. He met the incoming strike at his ribs with his palm, patting the side of Chaos’ wrist, diverting it away while he pivoted to the side. He answered the downward slash with raised his arm over his head to meet the blade in the middle of its path. The collision between his cuffed wrist and the blade made a shockwave that resonated throughout the decimated battlefield.
Joseph caught Chaos, releasing the hilt for a split second before thrusting the sword at his sternum. He placed his feet beside one another before separating them and pivoting to Chaos’ flank, moving in the shape of a V. When Chaos spun to deliver a back-fist, Joseph leaned back, escaping the reach of the shorter, rounder blow. He saw the gauntleted fist pass over his face as a gust of air rushed against his cheek. The blade followed. Joseph gasped as the ravenous sword made its way. He hopped to the right while turning and pulling his shoulder back, narrowly escaping its cutting edge.
Joseph caught Chaos moving a foot in his immediate position. He was wary of the hindrance it could be to the footwork that carried his defensive efforts. There was a more immediate danger. However, Chaos thrust his hand toward the child’s eyes. Joseph darted his head to the side from the strike’s path. The boy squinted his eyes and winced from merely the thought of it hitting. The tactic brought annoyance and surprise to the boy. He knew of techniques that target targeted the eyes. Joseph abstained from the use of such moves. They were dishonorable. He did not expect such an attack from Chaos, though he felt he shouldn’t have been surprised. He understood the unscrupulous nature of the Cosmic Empire and its Lords all too well. They would never have followed someone who couldn’t be ruthless.
The next strike was a forward shot at his chest. The boy started picking up on Chaos’ tendency to open with linear attacks. Joseph darted toward Chaos’ flank and turned to evade it. The boy stepped back, placed his feet together, and pivoted to the opposite side, narrowly moving his person from its way. He felt it brushing his gui as it passed by.
Joseph saw Chaos raise his leg and was signaled that the Emperor was sending a kick his way. The boy’s reaction was automatic. He caught the kick between his wrists and huffed to disburse the weight of the kick. The Demi-Earthling swung his foot at the Chaos’ other leg to take the Emperor to the ground while he raised the arm over Chaos’ foot to block the incoming blade with his cuff, Joseph followed by shooting his arm to strike his stomach with an open palm, followed by a punch, and a final palm with the same hand. The boy turned to Chaos as he moved to his side, spinning while sending an elbow to strike his shoulder. Joseph weaved back and rotated his shoulder, taking it out of the elbow’s reach. Joseph raised his hands to eye level and closed his fist. He stepped forward, fired his two jabs from his leading left at Chaos’ chin, and followed with a cross from his right.

Health: 52% | Gouts of flame and geysers of glowing magma nipped at the warriors as they warred across the torn terrain. Chaos grunted, each stroke of his sword perfectly aimed and each of Joseph's evasions proved equally masterful.
But as the battle raged on the experience gap would become increasingly apparent when several of Joseph's attempted defenses failed to defeat the sheer perfection of Chaos' blade work. Finally his sword found its targets penetrating Joseph's right pectoral with a few stabs and an unhindered slash across his right shoulder, all intended to be disabling in nature.
Chaos got the better of the exchange and allowed a break between them to assess the damage he had caused. Until Joseph made a move it would be impossible for him to know if he had succeeded in causing serious structural damage in that shoulder, but one thing was undeniable-- those strikes hurt.
In the momentary separation he took the opportunity to retrieve a red hued bottle from his pocket dimension. It burst into this world in a shower of crimson particles and he popped the cork off with his thumb. He gulped down the contents in a flash and tossed the container aside, shattering it on the uneven slabs of cooled magma.
His empty hand shot forward, fingers splayed, and his other blade was summoned to him, screaming through the air as it exploded from somewhere in the devastated landscape with a trail of debris flowing in its wake.
His aura flared around him as he leapt forward, catching the hilt mid-flight, landing just in striking range of his opponent, chopping with both blades at Joseph's wounded shoulder. He twirled his dark blade above his head and came straight ahead with a blinding thrust aimed at the dead center of Joseph's chest.
As he retracted his stabbing blade he was already unleashing an immense orb of fire from his mouth. The white-yellow flames erupted into a blazing cone that tore through the land, starting fresh fires that drowned out the muted orange glow of molten rock and flames around them.

Another reminder I have a weakening system so attacks will hit harder the more damaged you are and not as hard the less damage you have. This is especially potent in combos. Carry on.

It had been a while since he had been placed under this much pressure in a close-quarters exchange. He had impressed himself with many of the attacks he could avoid. Still, akin to how the aggressor in a boxing match eventually caught an elusive opponent, Chaos had managed to connect three of his strikes. Joseph felt the fruits of the Celestial’s persistence and disciplined aggressor. The blade tore through the fabric of his gui. He grunted and had to stifle himself from sounding a shout of pain. The sword struck his chest, stabbing through his tunic and undershirt to pierce his chest. He grunted as he stumbled away before the blade got to something important.
The boy cursed himself internally for lapsing again and losing the economy of motion. This was a battle if any mistake could be his last. He watched as Chaos opened another portal and downed another potion before throwing it to the ground. Wary of this, Joseph manifested a white veil of energy as a provision for Chaos his attack. The Celestial summoned his blade and leaped toward him. The Demi-Earthling crossed his arms, forming an X shaped guard. The layer of energy managed to withstand the brunt of the impact, though it didn’t null the vigorous strikes. Each hit on his shoulder delivered a shock that traveled down his arm. After the impact, blue flames encircled the boy and sprayed at the Celestial to engulf him in fiery retaliation.
Following the slashes and fire came a thrust of his sword for his chest. The blade collided with the weakened shield. It shattered, scattering into dozens of crystal-like pieces. As the strike pushed him back, Joseph evoked the azure flames once more, deploying an eruption of fire that threatened to swallow the Celestial.
The monstrous strength of the strike hurled the child back, sending him skidding back, drawing trenches into the street. He gasped at the sight of a massive fire orb rushing toward him. He couldn’t stop himself in time to evade and was engulfed by the flames. He shut his eyes tightly and held his breath. The intense flames burned all over his body. Once it disbursed, Joseph coughed and exerted his ki, generating a gust of air that extinguished the bits of fire that remained.
The boy looked at Chaos with his stern stoicism and raised his hands in front of his mouth. He closed them, leaving an opening that could be seen through each hand, mimicking a tube. Joseph took a breath and puffed his cheeks after taking all the air he could. He then blew, and a blue torrent of flames sprayed from his mouth through the openings of his hand, spreading in a wide cone that spanned the width of the streets they stood on, lighting up the surrounding area and forming a cloud of smoke. The flames spread, growing larger as they made their way toward the Emperor.

Health: 52% | Chaos was unprepared for the blinding blue fire that swallowed him whole, blowing away what remained of his ki shield.
As another inferno consumed him mid strike he could only grit through the pain and chant a vile curse, a voodoo spell that would share his horrendous pain with Joseph.
Chaos huffed from behind the crossed blades, watching Joseph place his hands in front of his mouth. With a tick of annoyance his crimson blade snapped forward and the flames were contained along its edge before seeming to shrink beneath the metal, rippling inside the steel itself. The minute energy it provided restored an equally negligible amount of his own Ki, but every ounce was precious now.
He brought both his swords to his chest and a dull green light emanated from both blades, slowly increasing in intensity until it overcame his dark aura. His breath steadied and his burnt skin slowly gave way to fresh flesh, and one of his offset ribs painfully slid back into place.
His chest heaved with a relieved exhale, vaguely aware of his dwindling Ki stores.
Without warning he burst into motion, blades weaving a curtain of death in front of him. He landed, throwing a quick backhanded strike with the added weight of his sword. His other blade followed in a reality rending slash, once more aimed for the right shoulder.
With his feet planted, he swung a quick, precise elbow at the right side of Joseph's head, took a short jab step back, and chopped at the shoulder, throwing his weight fully behind the strike.

Seeing the fire bathe the Celestial brought a wave of satisfaction, but a malicious incantation saw to his gratification being short-lived. “Arughh!” An intense burning feeling washed over the child. It felt like he had been drenched in lava. The ferocious heat drew out sweat that became vapor in an instant. His eyes shut from the feeling that the liquid in them was boiling. He hacked from as if he was in smoke-polluted air. Joseph leaned back and breathed heavily. A spell that could bring on damage and pain from an attack to its sender was outside the possibilities Joseph had considered. It served to remind him how imperative it was to expect not to expect things.
Joseph saw Chaos snap his blade forward and consume the fire he spewed. It started to relate to the annoyance Mona expressed when recounting how often Rocket could dampen or nullify her attacks. The Demi-Earthling stood on guard, expecting Chaos to advance. However, Chaos instead brought his sword to his chest and channeled energy into his being. He recognized this technique to the effect of frustration and dismay. Regardless, there was an opportunity he saw. Joseph reached into the pouch on his sash and brought out a small vile that contained blue liquid. The boy quickly popped off the cap, downed it in a single gulp, and tossed a small bottle to the side. Golden sparkles flickered around him as chimes briefly sounded. He felt a portion of his ki pool replenished. Joseph became curious about the state of Chaos’ reserves. The Celestial’s relieved breath indicated mended injury but also betrayed the toll of his expenditure.
Chaos rushed toward him. The Celestial caught him with the backhanded strike, snapping his head back and staggering him. The seamless slash of his blade tore through the fabrics over them and widened the gash on the shoulder underneath. He winched at the hot sting radiating in his shoulder. Joseph stepped back while putting his hands in front of himself, palms facing parallel. As the elbow swung toward the boy’s head, a round translucent shield bearing a bubble-like texture manifested in front of him. It absorbed the weight of the elbow pressing down before regaining its proper shape after the impact. The heavy swing that followed struck the barrier. Upon contact, the shield popped, releasing an explosion of energy that threatened to send Chaos flying back. The energy that sprayed from the detonation would ensnare him if he didn’t escape it, restricting his movements and possibly the flow of his ki.
The Demi-Earthling reached his hands out, and another torrent of blue fire shot from his hands. The flames flew toward the Celestial, spreading until it became wide as the road. Joseph then ceased the fire and pulled his cudgel from his sash. The boy then dashed forward with his weapon drawn. Once in range, he swung his stick to strike the side of Chaos’ neck. With his opposite hand, he sent an uppercut up at Chaos’ stomach, drew his back slightly, then shot it up to give him one more aimed for his chin this time. Joseph slipped his staff back in his belt and stayed in close proximity, circling around to make Chaos have to adjust his center before he’d attack.

Health: 52% | Chaos grinned at Joseph with sneering arrogance as his blade found its mark yet again, surgically searching for the fragile tendons in the Saiyan’s shoulder. But through the pain and unrelenting assault the crafty young warrior managed to throw up another trapping bubble. His dark blade struck it, but rather than explode and entrap him the bubble was penetrated by the sword, and the entirety of the sphere shrank around the edge until it vanished beneath the black metal.
His sword sprang back from the connection, glowing with blue energy and he stumbled back a step, saw Joseph toss his hands forward, felt the swell of smoldering energy, jumping in response, aura bursting around him as he streaked out of the inferno’s path.
The black flame of his aura left a sharp trail above Joseph’s head as Chaos rocketed straight down while Joseph was bringing out that damned staff. Glowing sword already mid-swing, the blue energy trapped within it flung off the edge like a thick mucus with the same properties it possessed when Joseph had cast it and intercepted his attempted offense.
His opponent remained relentless, trying to maintain a melee distance. Chaos was all too willing to oblige.
Glowing red eyes followed the Saiyan’s every move, calculating, cold, and predatorial. Chaos waited a beat, until Joseph crossed in front of him, and took a flash step towards him.
He opened with a thrust directed at the wounded shoulder, blackened blade blurring with sheer speed. He retracted his stab and swung a left handed punch at Joseph’s gut, the force of the quick strike bolstered by the weight of the sword in hand.
Chaos spun, whirling both blades around him high and low like the edge of a screw to disguise his next attack angle, every turn threatening the Saiyan from different heights. His leg whipped out low to catch Joseph behind the ankle and take his balance. Rising to his full height his ebony weapon chopped at his favorite shoulder yet again.
His sword hummed through the air, whipping back around in a diagonal line from right shoulder to left hip and a quick kick threatened to send Joseph reeling backwards.
Without pause he pressed the young Saiyan with a dangerous backhanded slash with decapitating intent. As he followed through the slash his left hand came around behind it, hilt providing heft to a simple hammer fist aimed to dislocate the shoulder he continued to target. He huffed through the mounting exhaustion of swinging the pair of blades but his eyes remained trained on Joseph, unwavering, unblinking.

The boy flashed a surprised look at the attack failing to knock back and restrain the Emperor. It had instead got absorbed into Chaos’ blade. Joseph focused on the shrinking ki. He didn’t feel a shift in Chaos’ energy reserves like what could be felt when power was going in or leaking out, so he concluded that the attack was contained similar akin to when he absorbed it and deployed it to repel one of the boy’s advances, he was wary of this knowing how much of a pitfall it could be for a melee advance. Joseph instinctively followed Chaos as he shot into the air to avoid his torrent of flames. He wasn’t surprised, given that Chaos didn’t get caught in the trap meant to set up that fire technique.
As suspected, he inadvertently gave an answer for his melee assault. He saw the giving off a glow and coming toward him. Joseph raised his foot and flicked it. An invisible burst of ki shot from his foot, propelling him backward as he rapidly twirled his staff between his fingers, generating a gale force that interposed itself between him and the ki ejected from Chaos’ blade. The Demi-Earthling gritted his teeth, grunting as he kept spinning his weapon with conviction. The wind generated from his spinning cudgel and the discharge of energy pushed him farther back, giving distance and momentum that was instrumental to his effort. Joseph grunted as he glided across the streets as he fought against the pressure of his attack. He landed, soles skidding across the ground as the attack disbursed, becoming a blue mist that slowly faded away. Joseph stumbled, falling into a backward roll as he dropped his staff.
Joseph hopped up to his feet as the Emperor advanced with a quickness that clamored that the Celestial was smelling blood. He braced and took a breath, knowing he’d need to be the calm eye of the storm. The boy met the thrust at his shoulder with a sway of his arm, diverting the blade from its path, then crossed his other arm over his body to block the gut punch that followed.
The boy stepped back as Chaos began to spin with malicious intent, blades whirling high and low to fuddle him. Joseph reeled back in small hops, he rose his arms and swayed them to meet each swing of the blade as he watching each carefully to properly angle his guard. As Chaos swung his leg to sweep him from the ankle, Joseph raised his foot and snapped it forward to intercept Chaos’ before reeling back. When the blade came for his shoulder again, Joseph raised his arm over his head, intercepting the strike with his cuff before pivoting as he parried the sword away.
The diagonal swing was met with a raised arm stopping the blade in its track, though the impact gave a sting that traveled from his wrist to his forearm. He crossed his opposite arm over his body, catching the kick on his forearm. The boy huffed as the kick pushed him back.
Joseph raised his arms and turned toward the backhanded slash, his forearms colliding amid its swing. From behind his guard, he saw Chaos’ fist coming down. He moved toward the downward strike intercepting it with his arms to deny the Celestial his new favorite target.
The child could hear Chaos breathing heavily, feeling a bit of relief from another reminder that his opponent was mortal, to a degree at least. Joseph moved in, shooting two jabs at Chaos’ chin, followed by a straight right at his stomach. He stepped to the side and swung his leg toward Chaos’ ribs. The boy then threw two hooks at the Celestial’s head.

Health: 52% | Blinding sparks showered from where his sword and Joseph’s block met. Each attempt to further damage the Saiyan’s shoulder was answered, his target clear. Joseph managed to spare himself most of the intended pain and destruction but with each blow he rained down Chaos swore he felt that right arm begin to falter ever so slightly.
With his black blade reeling back from Joseph’s block Chaos could only utilize his left arm to intercept the jabs, arm throbbing from the impact despite the thick gauntlet protecting it. Joseph followed with a straight shot from the same arm Chaos had been terrorizing. Chaos circled his other arm around, catching the punch with both forearms in a sturdy cross block.
His eyes darted to the side following Joseph’s burst of movement. Instinctively, Chaos lifted his arm and wrapped around the incoming kick, trapping it around the knee. He chucked the leg aside harmlessly, ducked underneath a hook, and another, popping up with a back elbow to the throat before rotating the other direction to deliver a backwards stab to Joseph’s gut.
He spun fully around to bring the warriors face to face and chopped at Joseph’s right tricep. Geysers of magma spewed fresh lava around them with each of their movements exerting tectonic forces upon Toffit. Neither of them paid the collateral devastation any attention, eyes locked in fierce combat. Chaos wasn’t even willing to blink, not when any mistake now could be fatal.
Allowing no break in the rapid fire exchange he twirled the dark blade overhead while his left hand snapped forward in a jab aimed for Joseph’s nose. As his left retracted his black sword blurred through a downward slash cleanly down Joseph’s center.
He rotated his hips through a weak but snappy kick to the side of the Saiyan’s closest knee, went into a full spin, black and red blades flowing around him. Without warning the curtain of death opened and a quick thrust screamed out, sailing towards Joseph’s damaged arm.
Chaos kept up the pace, ignoring the pain in his lungs and the acid in his muscles, blades rolling over each other, disguising his next attack and providing a deterrent for any sudden retaliation. He took a step forward, bounded up, propelled by a burst of his aura. He flipped sidelong over the Saiyan, attempting to stab straight down through Joseph’s right clavicle.
He landed lightly, spinning immediately, swords whistling through the air as he threw all his weight into a slash intended for Joseph’s neck.

Letting Chaos keep the award. His combos are simply better written than Joseph’s and Chaos is not afraid to forgo damage and only dish a WA instead of a WA + QA to keep his flow going. meanwhile Joseph's blocks are very nothing hurts me bam, bam, bam like he's taking no damage while his other defenses feel like he has all the time in the world. His read through doesn't feel like someone on post 54 while Chaos remains conscious of all these things.

His first simple combination being blocked was far from a shock to Joseph, though Chaos’ maneuver against his kick did take him by surprise. Joseph gasped as the Emperor snagged his foot. He worried that Chaos would sweep him, but to more wonder and a little relief, the Celestial tossed the kick to the side before ducking under his hooks. He instinctively retracted them to a guarding position. The boy braced himself, tensing until the moment of impact, and then loosened himself, letting the elbow drive him back. The child grunted as a shock ran down his arms. Chaos’ sword was right behind. He barely caught sight of the blade before he lowered his arms to intercept the edge. As it struck against his arm and started to cut through, Joseph shifted to the side to divert the sword, its edge grazing his arms as it was turned from its mark.
The sting brought recollection of how painful and deadly each of these attacks were. As a matter of fact, the pangs of stings and throbbing pains pepper him throughout his body, most sharply at his shoulders and forearms. Adrenaline-gifted numbness was starting to subside. A feeling a lethargy began creeping on him as well Joseph gritted his teeth behind his lips, trying to push past the pain and setting fatigue. He couldn't afford such distractions.
As Chaos spun, Joseph raised his arms and curled behind his guard, moving his arms toward the chop. He grunted in pain as the impact added to the sting of his cuts. He watched Chaos’ hands and blade carefully. Next came a jab which Joseph darted his head to the side to avoid, slipping outside the path of the linear attack. The blade quickly came down to follow, Joseph pivoted to the side and rotated his shoulder, ignoring its agitation. He could see his reflection in the eerily close passing blade.
The movement of Chaos’ hip betrayed that a kick was coming. Joseph promptly raised his leg and turned toward kick, meeting it with his shin. The impact between them created a shockwave that made the lava by them splash. Another thrust came for his injured arm. Joseph snapped his arm 45 degrees to deflect the thrust. The shock hitting the blade stung his wrist further. The boy hopped back to gain more distance between him and his adversary.
Joseph watched Chaos' guard raised as the Emperor bounded toward him cloaked in his foreboding dark aura. Joseph jumped hopped to side and twirled hardly moving inches outside the blades path. The Emperor wasted no time and sprung toward him with a slash toward his neck. The Demi-Earthling raised his guard turning toward the swing as he braced his shielding arm with his other one. He met the swing with his cuffs. His wrists began to feel a tenseness, his cuffs along with meeting the strike midway may have saved him from another cut but the weight was still there, it was like a bulletproof vest, diminishing the force and preventing penetration but enough of an impact to have its effects. Joseph shot his leg out at Chaos' shin before retracting it and snapping it again at the Celestials stomach. He then planted his foot on the ground and sprung forward, sending out an Elbow at Chaos gut.

Health: 52% | Chaos was flowing now, driving Joseph to a near total defensive. His rhythm dulled the sheer exhaustion and he was dancing around with wraith-like fluidity, lifting his leg over a fast kick, aura flaring, propelling him just out of range of the second. Joseph rushed him as he moved away, quicker then he could run backwards. As the point of Joseph's elbow threatened the make contact Chaos sprang straight up and over allowing the Saiyan's momentum to carry him underneath and past.
He landed silently on the other side of Joseph's only offense. His wooden saddles pounded the ground as he dashed forward with a wicked thrust to Joseph torso.
Chaos maintained a frantic pace working the black sword through a whipping slash at the Saiyan's right bicep.
He feinted with the crimson sword trying to catch Jospeh's eyes as he tried to stomp the Saiyan's nearest foot. Keeping his foot wherever it may land, hopefully with Joseph's trapped underneath, he struck with the hilt of his sword in a hammer strike to the head.
He swiveled his hips, took a quick hop, and aimed a simple kick at the side of the neck. He flipped his dark sword and caught it in a reverse grip, driving it around in a vicious stab as he landed.
With his swords in different grips he was able to work a new series of flourishes he hadn't used so far, the new angles just enough to confuse even the most astute warriors.
The crimson sword seemed poised to strike suddenly, but instead the other blade swung around at the Saiyan's right arm.
Without pause he swung the blade again, more like a sickle then a sword in this grip, taking a dangerous angle down towards the skin between the clavicle with surgical precision.

The fact that Chaos was retaining such swiftness and fluidity this late in the battle was harrowing. If he had not known better, Joseph would have believed that Chaos possessed limitless energy to match his tirelessness, but the boy understood it was discipline and a steady rhythm that was sustaining Chaos’ pace. The boy could hear and feel it in his breaths and see it in his movements. He’d have to match that energy to surmount the Emperor. No, he’d have to surpass it. Fortunately, the necessity of needing to flow with Chaos to block and evade his strikes gave him a foundation to do so.
The Emperor had evaded his strikes and returned with a thrust of his sword. Joseph raised his arms in front of his and hit his wrist together, and his cuffs took the form of the gauntlets he had used to defend Chaos’ sword attacks earlier. Its tip strikes them at the wrists. The boy grunted in pain as the collision sent a twinge of pain through his hands. He yielded to the force and let it drive him back, disbursing some of its power and adding distance between the two of them. Joseph was unsure how much his arms could withstand colliding with such attacks, but he had to steel himself to do it as much as he needed.
Joseph saw the sword swinging toward one of his arms. He leaned back and turned away, shifting outside the blade’s reach. The child breathed steadily as he looked at Chaos carefully, observing his blades for the next possible attack and the feet to track his movements. The Demi-Earthling caught a sword movement and readied his guard, then the violent raising of Chaos’ foot caught his attention. Joseph frantically moved his foot to the side, narrowly escaping being painfully pinned beneath the Emperor’s sandal. He caught sight of the hilt coming for him. Joseph ducked and moved his head to the side, and stepped back as the hilt passed by his head.
The Emperor proceeded with a kick to his neck. Joseph raised one of his arms up to his head, bending it in a way one does when answering a phone, and ducked down as he did so. The kick made its way to the arm, interposing itself between the kick and his neck, acting as a slant making the kick slide up his arm on the moment of impact. As the stab followed, Joseph swiped his other arm to the side, meeting it with his forearm. As another mark was drawn on his arm, he stifled a groan of pain.
The Demi-Earthling curled into a guard to ready himself for the next attacks to come. His attention was drawn in by the blade that seemed like it could strike suddenly at any moment, only for a slash at his guarding right arm to notify him of the folly of fixating on it. The change in position of Chaos’ shoulders alerted him to an incoming downward strike. The child took a brisk step away with his back foot and turned with an urgency-charged jerk to shift his collarbone from the sword’s path. Immediately after the blade passed where his shoulder would have been, Joseph raised a foot a snapped it forward to shoot a kick at Chaos’ torso, trying to add distance between them.
