[center][h2][color=red]Warning![/color][/h2][/center] [center][h3][color=Orange]Auto-Kill Inside[/color][/h3][/center] [hider=My Reasoning] The beginning of my reasoning for this is that El Rey has been unresponsive to questions asking him if he is still interested in participating in the fight. It was in the middle of a calm debate that El Rey simply decided to stop responding to me. The debate itself was about whether or not El Rey’s energy could destroy Dread Metal. I wasn't happy about this fact because it's kind of the design of my metal and energy that it resists destruction. I conceded the fact that they were both built of destructive energies and so El Reys power was okay to destroy naked structures; if I had to let him do it at all. These messages were passed between one another after the post of my metal encasing his hands; which is why it came across as such a problem to me. I worked him into a corner and he wanted to get out based on stupid technicalities; but I hate to cause drama and just let that pass. Well he posted with the details that he had obtained from our messages and the confusion between us deepened when Tez revealed that he had confused Dread Energy with Dread Metal. He had not read Xaviers sheet before the fight and was unable to differentiate one from the other. It was after this revelation and during the subsequent debate that followed it that Tez went silent. We were trying to figure out how our energies would interact with one another and he was getting less responsive until he finally just stopped replying. The final PM about the current topic was sent by me around 3 1/2 weeks ago. This message was me asking him how El Rey was supposed to maintain any part of his energy once he had used it in the fight. Tez said in a post of his that El Reys energy vanishes from the world entirely after it’s used, but Tez was trying to say that because Xavier could do it than so could El Rey; in my opinion. After asking him simply to clarify how El Rey would hold onto his power; Tez stopped replying. I sent him another message asking if he still wanted to continue the fight over 2 weeks ago and he has chosen not to respond; despite having at least appeared a time or two. I will have the fact about the Dread Metal remain as it is; that it was destroyed and his hands are no longer bound by it. However I am waving the entire argument that he had made about destroying the Dread Energy and continuing under its description of specfically resisting destructive elements. I will also be ignoring Tezs final post, as it was after this post that the vast amount of confusion began and he said it was because he had not read the Character Sheet and did not fully understand Dread Energy during the fight. Its entirely possible you won’t agree with what I’ve done; but that doesn’t change the fact that it is [u]done[/u]. I didn’t enjoy the fact that I was being asked to change the effects of my energies just because he didn’t agree with them. In my eyes; he lost the right to a debate about this when he decided not to respond. So: Death. I am more than willing to produce the PMs in question whenever someone requests to see them. [/hider] To many warriors of many worlds perhaps it holds true that the power of El Rey and his energy were a spectacle to behold; but to Xavier, it was strangely pathetic. When one delves beyond the muscles and the girth they find nothing more than a tiny man striving for greatness. Xavier was a man whose will was so strong that he tore his life from the clutches of feeble God’s like He who gifted powers to El Rey. Xavier could understand enough of El Reys power to realize that it branches from Chaos Energy and despite the rather vague nature of this revelation; it would prove enough to be El Reys undoing as he fights against Dread Energy. There was enough of a personal mutation with El Rey that would prevent Xavier from outright devouring overpowering the energy but it would allow his energy to stand up to the barrage of power which swept over the separate particles by rejecting its Chaotic element. As if this wasn’t enough, Xavier could feel fluctuations within the energy stream to signify that its power level was dwindling shortly after it appeared; Reys power was not a constant like Xaviers, so once it was used it would vanish from the world entirely. This meant that as El Rey later waste to the earth with his energy; every miniscule wisp of Chaos energy put into the world was freely gifted to Xavier and subsequently mutated into Dread Energy. Resulting in a writhing cloud of dark red energy that would roll in from the devastated countryside to assist in Xavier’s attack. The blast of Dread Energy would connect with El Rey in the one spot that Xavier felt was the most unprotected; his face. Even if there was a bodysuit covering this area it would undoubtedly fall beneath the onslaught of Xavier’s Dread Energy for just one impact of the energy was more than enough to cause physical objects to weaken as bits and pieces of their form are torn apart. What’s more is that an instant after the beat against El Reys face Xavier began to enlarge the particles so that each brush with his energy would that much worse for El Rey. By the time the extra energy hit, just a half second after initial impact, the individual particles were the size of metallic BBs and were focused into a plume of destructive force that would be concentrated onto El Reys face. After impact the Dread Energy would curve quickly into the air so as to loom above the two fighters in a constantly growing mass of dark red energy. El Rey would do nothing to evade; there either was not enough time for him to do so or he realized that in fighting against Xavier the only outcome was death. Whatever the reason; El Rey would not survive. By means of his energy rushing passed El Reys form Xavier could feel only a moment of resistance before the overall shape of El Reys face and head began to smooth out as the Jaguar mask over his shoulder was destroyed first. The size of El Reys head began to diminish quickly as the enlarged particles slammed against it, until Xavier could feel that only El Reys skull remained. There was a brief rumble beneath the ring before Xaviers upper body was suddenly flung into the air by means of the stone pillars which stood strong against his back. His feet never left contact with the ring and simply allowed him to pivot upon his heels. With a quick jolt of movement Xavier threw out his left hand in a quick jab and collided his knuckles against the bare skull of El Reys forehead; knocking his block clear out of the ring behind them as he quickly shifted his weight back unto his feet. With his right hand Xavier grabbed hold of El Reys left shoulder before kicking his now limp left leg at the knee to force it to cripple and begin to fall; but with his right hand holding El Reys shoulder, Xavier stopped the body from hitting the floor so that he would be glaring nose to nose into El Reys eyes. If they hadn’t been entirely annihilated just moments before hand. Leaning over El Reys body Xavier would position his still open mouth over the hole where El Rey’s neck would have been and the torrent of Dread Energy spilling over his metallic teeth focused itself once more before shoving itself into the open wound upon El Reys shoulders. At this moment Xavier began to shrink the size of the particles back to a thin sand like structure just as the cloud of energy above the two men lurched down through the air to add itself into El Rey’s body. El Rey’s entire physical structure was being broken down at a molecular level and the secrets of his strength were subsequently given to Xavier through his energy. The viewers at home would be able to see and possibly even hear this knowledge being put to immediate use as Xaviers upper and lower body began to crack, pop, stretch and elongate while fibers of his muscular system could be seen visibly loosening and unweaving themselves to allow Xaviers body to stretch to 6’8 before his muscles would weave themselves back together again. The muscles upon his large body were nowhere near as large in size as El Reys but Xavier had taken their basic structure and filled in the gaps of his own body to mimic and increase the power that El Rey’s was able to replicate with larger muscles. The transformation was over when the last of the bones in Xaviers feet had reset themselves; leaving only the pitch black bodysuit suspended in the air before him. I could be seen that something was pushing out against the interior of the bodysuit in a multitude of different locations as Xavier tested the properties of the material. Needless to say, he was impressed with it. However; facial expressions would have been a little complicated seeing as his skin had been burned away. Perhaps though, with this garment as a construction basis, Xavier could fashion a flesh like material that could provide some added defense. The Dread Energy suddenly vacated the interior of the bodysuit and allowed it to shrink and tighten back to its original form, allowing Xavier to throw it carelessly over his shoulder. What good is it to a dead man? There was nothing left of El Rey in the ring now and the announcer was going frantic over the airwaves over what had just transpired before his eyes. Xavier simply drowned it out as he marched to the side of the ring opposite of him; eyeing the still white skull that would remain of El Rey. With a flick of his fingers the Dread Energy in the air collected round the skull and lifted it into the air before gliding it towards Xavier who stood now with his right hand outstretched near the rings turnbuckle. Once he had it in hand Xavier ran his fingers longingly along the surface for a moment; rapping his knuckles against the forehead and noting how thick it felt. Without wasting more time Xaviers mouth began to open; his jaw bone audibly snapping out of place so as to open his mouth to an unnatural degree. With his tongue stretched out as though to catch a snow flake, Xavier would cram El Rey’s skull into his mouth and down his throat in one swift movement that was devoid of a swallowing action. Xavier has been careful to only destroy the flesh and muscles on the outside of El Rey’s head so as to leave the flesh of the brain intact after killing his opponent. The entirety of any ability that El Rey possessed or lessons which he had learned up to this point would be discovered in time. Xavier would 'digest' this information over the next few years and it would eventually be used to create a new line of abilities ontop of his increased size and strength. The remaining Dread Energy in the air swarmed upon Xavier as he finished devouring the skull and it obscured vision of his form entirely as it swirled and writhed in a massive whirlwind. In the next moment the entire sky shifted to a dark red tone as a massive bolt of red lightning erupted from the writhing cloud in the ring and shot into the sky where it practically exploded and sent a massive electrical shockwave rippling throughout the airways. Xavier and his energy were gone with that massive flash of light; his body broken down to the rawest form of his energy and scattered into the space between worlds. Xaviers home away from home.
