Aether Weaving Tournament

"Begin!"

The announcer yelled out as the two fighter initiated the first attack. Noami dashed forward with boredom as Sakkash merely watched with his hands in his pockets. As she closed in rather quickly, she drew her sword even quicker and in one swoop she attempted to slice Sakkash head off but as the blade got closer, it curved around him and stuck into the ground.

Noami unnerved by this sudden change, began to use the momentum to her favor to flip into a flare and attempt to land a solid kick to Sakkash face who easily bent backwards but he assault wasn't done. She then went into another flare before stopping midway and slamming into Sakkash with a dropkick. This proved ineffective as Sakkash merely spun around the attack and with a slight nod, an invisible gravitational force slammed into Naomi, sending her crashing into the ground.

Noami despite the intense slam, she swiftly stood up and slashed vertically from down to up, closing in on Sakkash once again and the result was the same though this time it narrowly missed his face. She then ditched the sword and spun around it, unsheathing her other one and attempting to drive it through Sakkash Chest. Her opponent was surprised by the movement but was quick on his toes, stepping to the side just in time with his accelerated gravitational field.

With a smooth twist and slash, a cut appeared on Sakkash much to his shock until he figured out she was using the wind pressure to increase her range. Sakkash grinned and knew this would be an interesting fight. He stood in his stance, one fist forward and the other laid rest at his hip and he slightly bent his legs.

Noami then stepped back in with two horizontal slashes that Sakkash easily weaved and with a tug on a gravitational Thread, Sakkash attached to her gravitational field but before he could pull or bend the thread, Noami came rushing in with 5 slashes now that nearly cut him.

'She's getting more and more intense."

Sakkash said to himself as he tugged his own string and both fighters dashed off at high speed, circling the arena with kicks, jabs and hooks. Noami then caught an uppercut and twisted herself, slamming her elbow into Sakkash, releasing him in the process. Sakkash skid to a stop as 4 large boulders were lifted from the ground and shot towards Noami. The young teen female swiftly dashed towards one boulder and with finesse, effortlessly flipped across the boulder. She continued her motion by twisting around, to first gather momentum to lead into a horizontal sword slash by swiftly unsheathing her blade. This would all happen in but a split second, the line of thread leaking with her acidic blood. The vibration sparked into existence and as the sword struck the incoming second boulder, a thin line of blood traveled around the boulder in a circular path, slicing the boulder into two and allowing a space way for Naomi to safely glide through.

Sakkash was quite impressed with Naomi performance and watched as she effortlessly passed by the remaining boulders, closing the distance quick and smooth. As the sword reached to pierce his neck, Sakkash tilted his head and leant his body a few degrees to the side to avoid the sword and spun to deliver a back fist, swiftly connecting with her jaw.

Naomi was dazed as she stumbled backward, thankful that Sakkash was arrogant or kind enough to let her recover. The crowed watched in silence as the women's population sneered at the girl, whispering curse words that damned her. Naomi eventually regained mobility and her vision, immediately nodding at Sakkash who readied himself and within a mere moment Noami was in front of Sakkash.

"Blood thread….corrosive overdrive…"

Noami said with conviction and with those final words, the thread of death appeared. Bending. Twisting. Until it eventually straightened. Noami reached forward towards the string and as she closed in, it was gone and she found herself locked into a combo.

Sakkash expertly weaved various gravitational threads around his throat as the acidic blade sliced through but stopped just at the skin, barely nicking it and causing a slight burn. Sakkash slammed a vertical fist in her gut, followed up with 3 more and swiftly disarming her by slamming a chop to her wrists that held the sword and as it dropped, Sakkash flipped and placed his hand on the ground, using it as support to land a kick on Naomi neck while upside down. Noami vision darkened as she stumbled and fell to the ground, trying her best to stay up but it was futile and with a swift strike, Sakkash fell forward and landed his heel to her cranium, knocking her unconscious.

"Winner. Sakkash!. He will move on to the semi-finals."

The crowd roared at the display and clapped dispite the lost the women suffered. The ER team rushed in and lifted her onto a stretcher and left, allowing for the next round to begin and many was waiting for this battle upon hearing about one of the opponents.

"Next. Kami vs Lyth!"

The announcer spoke as Kami grinned for the first time in a while, finally able to display his power against someone that wasn't weak like many of the opponents he fought. Kami moved at his own pace as he walked down the bleachers to the arena, taking in the attention he received from the strangers but not letting it overflow his head.

Lyth was well popular in his school for his insane weaving and expertise in his thread prowess known as the altering space thread which allowed him to generate, create, shape and manipulate alternate spaces or in his case just a singular alternate space which he held complete dominion over. As both opponents reached the arena, they stared one another down, reading and analyzing everything about each other that was readable.

"Begin…"

The announcer spoke as Kami initiated the first attack, plucking his thread and enhancing the vibration and decreasing the frequency to match that of lightning.

"Divine sound: Cynematic lightning strike"

Kami said as lightning raced across the thread in a linear straight line towards Lyth who swiftly wrapped his thread in circular fashion and as the lightning hit the open space in the thread, it was transported out of the physical reality and into a pocket sized alternate space, frozen in time.

Kami grinned and dashed forward, swiftly zigzagging in a linear path, understanding that it took a slight second to create whatever he created. Kami could see the minute precise altered vibration that emitted supernatural energy. He used that to pinpoint the second it took the space to be altered and avoided those spots.

Lyth was impressed by the way of movement and grinned as well, understanding that this would be a interesting fight. Lyth changed his way of attack and decided to test his opponent combatant skills, engaging Kami in hand to hand combat. Kami noticed his opponent shift into a Jiu jitsu stance which Kami engaged by stopping into his mixed fighting style of Taekwondo, Jiu jitsu and Muay Thai, calling it 'Vibro-zero' due to incorporating his divine sound thread.

With a swift vertical jab, Kami nearly knocked Lyth head off due to the sheer swiftness of the strike but Lyth wasn't surprised and swiftly shifted his body and slammed his arm against Kami's, changing the trajectory of the strike and countered by grabbing Kami arm and pulling him forward. Kami quickly found his equilibrium and flipped forward, landing a quick and powerful axe kick to Lyth head that made him freeze, his head staring at the ground.

Kami didn't let up and as he gripped the air a solidified vibrational wave was constructed. Lyth was hit with the wave and flew back but at the same time he regained consciousness and with split second thinking, generated a portal in the space Kami stood. In that moment Kami found himself in a new spatial plane that was filled with weird vibrations, energy and frequencies. Lyth began laughing and grew more sinister as he recovered from the hit and Kami came to a realization that he was within Lyth's pocket dimension, where he held absolute control.

"Divine Sound Thread…supreme voice…"

Kami spoke as he let loose his ultimate technique weaving that could only be used once a year as stored up energy. By constructing threads imbued with divine sound within his throat structure, his voice now reigned supreme and what he says becomes reality to an extent due to his limitations and lack of knowledge of more advanced things.

Lyth snapped his finger and two giant poles appeared above Kami and closed in to crush him.

"Turn to dust.."

Kami spoke as in that moment the giant poles became dust and scattered around the air, shocking Lyth. Kami took this moment of distraction and allowed his vocal energy to overpower the alternate space.

"Create an exit by cutting through space"

Kami said as an abstract rift appeared and tore open the space between the original space and alternate space. Kami dashed forward but was stopped as Lyth appeared in front of him and slammed his fist straight into Kami stomach. Kami took the impact and stood his ground, latching onto Lyth arm and quickly pulling him forward, lashing out a swift side kick to his chin whilst still gripping his arm.

Lyth ducked under the kick and flipped, using the momentum to preform an axe kick to force Kami to let him go. It worked as Kami quickly released his grip and stepped back but once again engaging Lyth, keeping the fast pace battle going. Lyth recovered and stood up right, lashing out 3 quick and precise jabs but Kami brung his two arms over his head to cover his face and rushed forwards. Lyth soon realized Kami was trying to preform a jiu jitsu technique but did not allow it and delivered a swift knee toward Kami head. Kami swiftly brung his arm out and slammed an open palm to the knee and pushed it back.

Lyth felt this and swiftly backpedaled to gain some distance. Kami plucked his thread and shot his open palm towards Lyth, generating a concentrated sphere of sound and with a flick, it was shot towards Lyth at the Mach 1 speed…the speed of sound. This created a spherical cone around the sphere as it traveled. Lyth was shocked by the speed and narrowly stumbled to the left, avoiding the linear straight shot that would've took his head off. The sphere curved in a circular path and redirected its trajectory back towards Lyth at the same velocity during the initial velocity, maintaining a constant velocity, giving it the illusion of immediately shooting back towards Lyth with no break.

This time Lyth fell backward as a load of threads wrapped in a circular path on the surface of the ground he stood on and narrowly avoided the sphere once again, falling into his alternate space. Kami glanced around as the sphere flew beside him, hovering a few inches above his head. A shimmer of vibrations flicked into existence right in front of Kami who swiftly jumped to the side and a blast of lightning zoomed out, slamming into the ground with a powerful electrical discharge.

Kami glanced to the side as another shimmer appeared and in that moment he launched the sphere towards it, watching as it entered the moment Lyth exited. The crowd held their breath as the sphere slammmed into Lyth stomach, tearing a hole through him.

"Explo-"

As Kami uttered those words the fight ended and Kami allowed the sphere to disperse. Leaving Lyth with an open stomach wound. The medics quickly acted and rushed into the arena and carefully put Lyth on the stretcher and took him away, leaving Kami to bask in the attention for a bit but he ignored it and began walking up to his seat as the crowd clapped wildly.
