Combat Arena

[ITADAKIMASU NOM NOM]

((Dangit, lost again!))  

[ShaydraSilversky]

Shaydra detected a weak point on Ankara and leapt across the arena, crunching her guitar into the ground as she pounded her paws on Ankaara's chest. Burns spread where Shaydra's paws touched the werewolf.
Then suddenly, Shaydra melted into a white-hot flame that started twisting around Ankaara. The fire enveloped her entirely.
Then the fire exploded, searing a blinding image into everyone's eyes. When the light faded, Ankaara was revealed laying majorly burned and slightly bloody on the arena floor, unmoving.
Shaydra landed, thrown off by her own explosion, on the other side of the arena, back into her original form. She lay next to the basket of fruit. The dragon cracked open her eyes and said weakly, "My pure form always tires me out. This fruit smells good." She pawed one.  

[ITADAKIMASU NOM NOM]

Ankaara shuddered, bleeding green, and weakly held her head up, shaking. "Unfortunately, this form does not have great defenses. I..congratulate you on your win..." Her head plopped to the arena floor. Her dragons came from the ground and put her in a healing bubble as they all sank into the shadows.  

[ShaydraSilversky]

"Thank you." Shaydra slung the basket over her wing and scrabbled up the arena wall into the stands. She plonked herself on one of the benches and took out some healing crystals, administering them to her burns.  

[ITADAKIMASU NOM NOM]

Ankaara came up, now fine and in her dragon form, and said: "Hey everyone!! Who wants to fii-iiight?"  

[ShaydraSilversky]

"Not me." Shaydra bit an apple. "I've had quite enough." She tucked her healing crystals back into her bag and lay back, content to simply watch the fights.  

[ITADAKIMASU NOM NOM]

She yelled into the bleachers. "C'mon, somebody's gotta challenge me! Pleeeease?" She did the puppy dog face.  

[Lexadraxa]

"Hmm...I want to challange...Shaydra." Lex said, shifting then jumping down to the arena floor. "Sorry girlie, but I want this to be a fight between my and Shaydra." Lex directed this to Ankaara. "Come on Shaydra, unless your scared!" She smiled.  

[ShaydraSilversky]

Shaydra grinned back. "Scared? No way!" She dropped the basket of fruit and leapt into the arena. "Ankaara, I'm sorry, but Lex has challenged me a battle I must accept." Then she crouched down, slipping her pencil inconspicuously behind her ear. "Bring it!"  

[Lexadraxa]

"Maybe I'll just snap that pencil in half!" Lex growled, but her face showed she was jokeing. She shifted quickly into a huge tiger and pounced on Shaydra, claws out.  

[ShaydraSilversky]

"Snap my pencil in half? I can always make more!" She dodged Lex, but Shaydra was not fast enough and one of her claws partially gouged her wing base.
Wincing, she kicked out at Lex from pure instinct, who was still crouched in tiger form at the place Shaydra had been.  

[Lexadraxa]

Shaydra's kick was hard, and Lex was sent sprawling on the ground a couple feet away. Seconds later, she was back on her feet and charging at the dragon as a draft horse, big and fast. She reared in her face and pounded her huge hoofs on the feet of the dragon. "I'm only getting started!" She yelled at Shaydra as she once again shifted and flew into the sky as a magestic eagle.  

[ShaydraSilversky]

Shaydra drew her feet back, but Lex's hooves were large and they crushed Shaydra's feetclaws, sending pain lancing up her hind legs. She cursed and swept open her wings, lifting into the air higher and higher until she was level to the eagle.
Then she opened her wingclaws and muttered a spell. A winter staff crystallized in her claws and she gripped it tight, raising it to the sky. "Let's get into a holiday mood! It is almost Christmas, of course!" Snow started sprinkling down.
"No, that's not right..." Shaydra uttered another spell. The snow changed smoothly into hail the size of a human's fist, which pattered down hard, aiming for the eagle's wings.  

[Lexadraxa]

Lex new better than to get hit by hail, so she pulled her wings in fast. The hail still hit her body, but she was not injured as bad. She fell to the ground and shifted into her tiger state before she got there. The hail was a problem, she knew. "But maybe if I stop Shaydra's concentration, it'll stop," she thought. She shifted into her dragon form and flew up into the sky. She spun in a circle and smaked Shaydra with her tail.  

[ShaydraSilversky]

Lex's dragon form was slightly bigger than Shaydra's, so the hit sent her careening. The hail was cut off as if someone had flicked a switch, but both hail and snow still carpeted the arena floor.
"Darn! There goes my holiday festives." Shaydra quickly righted herself in the sky, then drew on her eyes, changing them into a glowing yellow. "Maybe this will confuse you," she said as she flew away from Lex. She swept the staff dramatically, and a thick, chilly fog rolled in, obscuring all sight. Shaydra could still see due to the changing of her eyes, and out of nowhere she struck Lex, head down, sending her spinning into the mist.
