Chapter 7: Mind, Body, and Soul

Aodh: So we at least know the tournament at the very latest started in the 10th century. A couple hundred years later the story of the creature we believe to be number 100 come from so he can't be the creator or the tournament. Maybe he has something to do with the creator though.

Mellan: I don't think we can put that thought out there yet, he could be his own completely different force. Maybe we should wait for Gabriel and ask him what he's thinking. How do you think his match is going right now?

Gabriel: I think I'm gonna die...

Gabriel struggles to dodge the super powered Ava as she tries to crush him. He activates his orb, turning it into a lightweight minigun. Rapidly shooting shot at Ava, Gabriel somehow manages to miss every single shot. Ava grabs one of the bullets and flicksit back at him at high speeds. The bullet, still imbued with Gabriel's ability, removes his soul from his body.

Gabriel: So that's what it does...

Without his soul, Gabriel's body stands back up. Ava sends a rapid barrage of punches and Gabriel's body dodges them all with ease. A person is constructed of 3 parts, the mind residing in the soul and the soul residing in the body. With his soul and mind removed, his body reflexively avoids all damage. Every attack sent toward him is completely evaded. Instead of continuing with the fruitless efforts of attacking Gabriel's body, she goes for his soul. Despite trying her hardest, she just can't hit something without a physical form.

Gabriel: Cool. Wait a minute, what is that?

He sees through her body to her soul. As he reaches his hand out, a tendril forms from Gabriel and it tags her soul. He lifts his hand and Ava goes up with it. With a push from his hand Ava is slammed against a wall, reverting her back to her normal self.

GR33N: Ava is unable to battle, meaning

Gabriel is the winner!

R3D: The next round will begin in 30 minutes.

Gabriel's soul returns to his body but he's unconscious. After a day, Gabriel wakes up to Aodh and Mellan sitting around waiting for him to wake up.

Mellan: Finally, took you so long to wake up me and Ali had our matches already. I won of course so the only person left to have a match is Aodh.

R3D: For round 30, number 60 and number 44, in 5 minutes please be in Building 3 ready to battle.

Mellan: Nevermind.
