Tre'Yan vs Dyayun: The Return of the Dead Champion

The jab made contact. It was to Tre’Yan’s surprise that the jab had made contact. Further surprise was the fact that Dyayun was coming in, to launch an uppercut. The uppercut, a deadly punch and if mastered properly was one of the most punishing punches in a fighter’s arsenal.

A great uppercut was hard to see, and in close range gave the fighter who mastered it, often a decided advantage. The problem was, they were not close. No, Tre’Yan had done what he was good at, firing fast jackhammer jabs at range. Dyayun took the shot and came in to throw an uppercut. Because he was coming in the shot was telegraphed, hell a novice boxer could have seen it coming.

To properly execute an upper cut, the body has to turn in a little for the blow to rocket up into the body or chin. This move must happen to execute an uppercut. Even a feint as apparently what Dyayun was employing. It was a bad move. As mention previously most boxers threw the uppercut incorrectly. An uppercut takes the fighters body in a particular way, momentarily dropping the guard and leaving the fighter using it open to counterpunches. A proper uppercut is a short, crisp punch that comes from a deadly angle with a lot of force. This was not what Dyayun did, he actually pulled back, stopping the action like an indecisive fighter.

However his body was open for the counter punching that Tre’Yan was known for. The left hand came back into guard. In a flash the right hand rocketed forward, Dyayun's left was exposed by the feint. A feint at distance, leaving the left side of the chin exposed to the deadly right hand. They were at medium range now and the punch would hit like a freight train.

Tre’Yan loved this punch. It was one of his favorite punches and Dyayun offered himself up for it. The smaller champion pivoted his back foot, while rotating his hips and shoulders. His hand came up in a rainbow over what would have been a guard had not Dyayun tried some sort of fumbled uppercut that brought him range of this punch.

It was lighting fast as the gloved hand rotated opening the face of the knuckles to strike the left chin and jaw of Dyayun flush. Tre’yan would hit with malice and intent to punch through the other man’s jaw and head if possible. The move was fast, and if the blow hit it would already be snaking back to a guard. The fight was now on as they say. If Dyayun wanted to pussy foot and get a text book boxing lesson he would be happy to oblige him.

Cho Sun-Jin vs. Kolskegg.

Again the smaller fire wand blossomed and again the zipping bees hammered the large shield, ricocheting away in a myriad of directions. Perhaps even back towards the little wizard. Then a hammering blow struck the chain shirt at mid-thigh of Kolskegg then another exploded against the outer side of his left thigh as the bullet burned and tore some of his thigh muscle. The pain was immense, as if a hot iron had been applied to his leg, followed by the hammering impacts as other bullets hit the coat protecting his side from anything more than painful, deep bruises.

Then Kolskegg was there, landing before the smaller man, his large shield before his body covering a goodly portion of his body. Blood dripping from his left leg, the Viking thrust Alyward forward and slightly below the shield. Hopefully the wizard would not see the blade until it impacted with his body. The move, deadly and one well practiced was something that the Viking hoped would be the fell blow that ended this fight.

The thrust, short and pointed was aimed for the left side of the wizard, below his heart, square for the area below the topmost rib. The blade would be accelerated through years of practice and test of arms. This was a decidedly deadly move, one that had ended many fights in the past, and hopefully this one as well.

Yes, Kolskegg had killed the wizard Cho’s company. But that was to be expected, they were not the same caliber of sorcerous foe that this small man was. Thus far Kolskegg had been hit by his fire rod and fire staff. His shield dented and battered, even pierced by one of the wizards magics. But the wizard had not sustained a reciprocating blow. With Odin’s blessing his sword would strike true and kill the man. If not a wounding would do. At this range, the Viking was sure he had the advantage in weaponry. But of course time would tell.

Never give up LeeRoy. The only way to find your voice is to sing. So keep writing, soon enough you will see what you want in your writing.

Arena FAQ/Advice

@Skallagrim @Rilla
What do you guys use as inspiration for your arena writing styles?

@Imaginary

That's a good question. I suppose I use the various martial arts I have studied, European sword techniques and fire arms training as a base. For everything else I try and envision it through a cinematic lens. Hope that helps.

Oh I have no issues LeeRoy. I can understand. General Freedom is a comicbook hero completely.I was just surprised at the character changes.

No. I did state in my post a trap. I had expected he would step in and throw a left handed shot. I had thought it would be another jab to counter mine, but he is throwing an upper cut. This action will expose him enough for the right to strike. I also expect him to shrug off most of the damage as we are both dead, and I am the weaker fighter, but it will be a wake up call to him.

I assume that it opens Rilla up to a hook with the right to the ribs. Stepping in with the hind foot for an uppercut generates a lot of momentum, as you push forth both the weight of your whole torso and your leg. This would delay Dyayun's recovery. Tre'yan, however, will be quick to sidestep with his right foot, lean away from or block the uppercut and attack, his initial strike carrying minimal burden.

@Vordak

Good Vordak, very close. But since Dyayun is throwing an upper cut with his left hand, he is open to an overhand right to the chin. Which even if he twists his head opens it to the downward strike from the over hand right to breaking the jaw in a terrible manner. Although we are both dead, it still is a hard thing to shake off.

Here is advice my friend. I left jabbed you. You step in to throw a left uppercut. As your mentor can you see the indefensible move open to me?
