Round 4 WitD vs Cuckoo's Nest... The 2 elementals were thrown into an arena. Fairly large. Made to look like it was stone, carved the same way.
"AFTER THIS ANNOUNCEMENT, YOU WILL GO TO YOUR AREAS OF BUILDING. THERE, YOU WILL FIND A LARGE PILE OF SCRAP METAL. YOU WILL BUILD SOMETHING OUT OF THIS SCRAP. WHAT YOU BUILT WILL BE USED AS A FIGHTING TOOL FOR THIS ARENA. WHOEVER CAN DESTROY THE ENEMY'S CONSTRUCTION WILL WIN. THE VICTOR SHALL BE REWARDED GENEROUSLY. THE LOSER, FED TO THE BEAST..." the overvoice said to both the elementals, and the awaiting crowd.
Demetrius and his opponent make eye contact as the announcement ends. He doesn't want to be the cause of death to Andrew, but it was the only thing standing between him and life. They turn away from each other and walk off to their designated rooms.
"Ugh, I hate these damn gravity elementals and their obsession with building things" Demetrius says. "What am i to build with these things anyway?"
He hears his opposition working with whatever he has, wondering what he could be building.
---
After what seemed like days, the announcer called halt to the building. Demetrius looks up to his construct, amazed at what he was able to come up with. It is blue, made to resemble the god octane. It has a fiery headband and breathes fire. It also has numerous other bands across its body.
"THE TIME FOR BUILDING IS NOW OVER. YOU MUST NOW COME OUT TO THE ARENA" the announcer books across the stadium.
Demetrius walks out of his building area and sees a large, rock like figure standing behind the his enemy. It's a pretty basic design, yet incredible effective.
The stone golem immediately charges towards octane, fist in the air, getting ready to punch octane. Octane tries to fend it away with a fireball but it has no effect on the golem. Octane smashes into the wall, leaving a gaping hole in it. The god struggles out of the wall, severely damaged, but still able to fight... Just...
Demetrius remembered he programmed a trick for octane to use. This would allow it to breathe an ignitable gas.
"Hope it thinks to use it..." Demetrius says to himself.
Octane stands there, waiting for the golem to do something.
"C'mon, use it"
The golem charges towards for a second attack. If it lands, it will end the match.
"Come on!"
The golem starts to lunge it's fist towards octane when it unleashes the ability. It breathes a gas and ignites it with an ember from the headband. There is a massive explosion and both constructs are thrown back. A large cloud of smoke covers the field, concealing the end result.
The smoke around the golem clears first, revealing that its left arm, as well as the left half of its body, was blown off in the blast. It starts to move, still showing signs of life.
Then the smoke above octane clears, revealing a half-melted face and the right arm and leg destroyed in the explosion. Octane is gone, Demetrius has lost.
"THE WINNER IS ANDREW HARGROVE" the announcer says, barely audible over the screaming of the crowd. They saw a good match. One of the best in a long time, and one of the best for some time ahead.
What happened to demetrius? That's gonna be saved for a different story
