Aiden looks for a challenger(only one person may join)

Aiden stepped through a large archway leading to a giant pair of double doors. The doors were extravagant with artwork and detail. Pushing them open Aiden walked into a huge arena, scanning the area he tried to get familiar with where everything was before anythiing started. He had come here looking for a fight and a fight he would get. Up to this point he had been oblivious to the sound of the crowd but now he looked up into the hundreds of faces watching him and shouting. Aiden chuckled at the sight and decided he would see how riled up he could get them. Taking his spear off his back he stabbed it into the ground next to him and flexed his arms while he let out a bestial roar that echoed throughout the arena and made the spectators cheer and scream that much louder. Glancing over he saw the double doors opposite him began to move and he smiled, soon he would have his opponent.

Alistair examend the arena as the doors began to open, but quickly his attention was drawn to the male in the center, a spear at is side 'he was bound to be more than a regular man with a spear' he thought, but followed his lead drawing his crimson needle as he made his way through the arch towards the center of the arena "it's a pleasure, I hope we can enjoy ourselves and please neither of us can improve if we ever go easy on each other" Alistair raised his arm as he twisted his stance crouching slightly now standing side on with a lower center of gravity and prepared for a frontal assault.

Aiden watched a brown haired man walk out from the doors and make his way towards him. Watching the man pull his needle weapon out and lower his stance Aiden smiled. Awww come now, these people are looking for a show. Of course we cant go easy on each other, what kind of show would that be? Aiden said in reply to the man and grabbed his spear, pulling it from the ground and twirling it in his hands. He began to slowly walk towards his opponent, keeping his strides measured and calm. Aiden waited for the man to make a move as the distance between them slowly closed. Lets make things interesting for em, show me what you got. Aiden said, the smile on his face growing wider as he stopped spinning his spear and held it out to the side with one arm. His other hand moved in front of him flat with his palm facing his opponent.

Alistair decided to start slow and test the waters, "fine i accept" he replied as he picked up the pace running towards the blond his needle aimed straight towards him as though he wear jousting aback a horse. Once the distance closed he made his strike aiming between his two arms as he shifted his momentum and weight to his front leg for balance.

As his opponent started running Aiden prepared himself, tightening his grip on his spear and relaxing the muscles in his left arm. The man thrust his needle at him but Aiden could tell it wasnt serious. His left arm burst into motion, swatting the side of the needle with the palm of his hand Aiden pushed it far enough to the side to avoid a hit, continuing with the momentum from the slap he spun his body and lifted his leg. Aiden launched a heel kick at the mans head and touched his spear to the ground, jumping and pushing against his spear for stability and power while he aimed a knee at his opponents midsection.

Aliatair had planned his attack for the counter and in the second he saw the blond move in *fishemen step* his speed rose his body moving out the way for the kick as he launched his own from behind the blonde aimed at his back

Aiden watched his leg fly towards his enemies head and go right through, he leg had met no resistance and he realized his opponent had moved and instantly Aiden thought "where does someone always move to?" Aiden spun around bringing his spear close to his body just in time for it to be hit by a kick from his opponent. Blocking the kick he was pushed back a couple feet and he chuckled. What was that? You cant use predictable shit like that with me. Aiden said to the man as he jumped back putting a little distance between them and pulled his arm back. Here, you can have this. Aiden said with a smile as he launched his spear. pagoeui kkoch. He said as the spear left his hand using a technique he had learned, the spear seemed to distort as several more spears "popped" out of it in the form of a mirage making the real one difficult to pick out let alone block.

'Damn, let's kick it up to the next gear then' Alistair thought as the other man made some space before launching his spear "resorted to throwing things have we" Alistair jested before he felt Shinsoo distort around the spear, there where now several heading his way.

Alistair dove towards the spears before sliding under them his needle swinging in an arc above his as he slid breaking through the illusions before connecting with the real one putting it off course. Alistair rose standing sideways between both the blond and his spear. "Not bad blondie"

A laugh erupted from Aiden at the sight of the man blocking his spear. Well well well, look at that. Aiden commented and pulled out his other weapon, a double sided axe-staff he calls guillotine. Iv been looking for a reason to try this out. He said with a smile, moving the axe around in a couple of small practice swings. Try to to die now, it would be nice if we could make this last. Aiden said, his excitement growing. Taking off into a run at his opponent Aiden brought the axe in front of him, touching it to the ground he jumped. Using the axe like a pole vault he launched over it in a front flip and brought the large blades straight down aiming for his opponents head but Aiden was almost positive the man would be able to dodge something like his. Though that was part of his plan, he would wait for him to dodge and try to counter and thats when he would be his. A smile crept to Aiden's face as he thought of this and prepared.

Alistair grinned at the blonde "nice axe, now lets hope it's not to heavy for you"  Alistair was quickly taken aback by his attack havn't to retreat *fishermen step* he appeared next to the spear he reached out and grabbed for its length his eyes studying the other as his attack struck the space he used to be, Alistair flipped his needle in his hand holding it, so it's point was in the direction of hs elbow as hs left hand tightened around the spear *the axe didn't make him slow, the blow he blocked was to easy for him to be weak, he had to have strength enough to keep is speed and follow through' he thought as he prepared for a follow up.

As Aiden attacked he watched his opponent, seeing that he moved out of harms way before his attack could land. Aiden already had a plan for this though and as soon as his feet touched the ground he activated it. Mirage step. Aiden moved at an incredible speed, an after image of himself stood at the spot of his departure. He stopped as he got to his opponents side. Fouund youu! Aiden said in a playful voice, axe pulled back he spun his body and swung his axe at the same time adding to the momentum of the horizontal swing. You shouldnt touch another man's stuff without permission ya know. Aiden commented as he attacked.

Alistair was uprise by the speedy attack but it ment he had to skip a step in his plan. He pulled himself up as he jumped using the spear as leverage to lunch himself away from the attack, leaving the axes trajectory with a clear path to the spear, Alistair now traveling over the top of the blond twisted his body  to alow for his attack *fishermen fury* Alistair unleashed a barrage of stabs down towards the other regular.

The man jumped using Aiden's spear as a platform, his attack hitting the spike on the end of his own spear and crashing into the wall. Looking up Aiden's eyes met with the needle in the mans hand, a barrage of thrusts coming towards him. Without time to think he did the only thing he could to dodge, letting his body go limp he dropped to his back and put the blades of his axe above his body. Aiden had effectively gotten out of range of almost all the thrusts, the few that still connected hitting his axe blade. Rolling backwards into a somersault he turned and slashed upwards with his axe hoping to connect as the man fell to the ground.

'He's faster than me' was the only thought that passed through Alistair's head as his attack had successfully stopped, a few of his strikes strook the axe but it want enough, before he could get enough friction to dodge the blond strook with his axe, Alistair instinctively grabbed his needle at both ends as the axe strook at him, hitting the needle and sending him further away as he fell towards the ground, the impact was natural due to the improvised strike lacking the mans usual strength 

As Alistair landed he vanished again *fishermen step* this time he got in close pulling the spear from the ground before throwing it towards the blonde, he ran behind the spear, ducking and weaving his movements irratic as he gripped his needle ready as he started his assault.

Aiden's attack was blocked by the needle, he figured it was mostly because the awkward position he threw the attack from. As the man landed he disappeared again, reappearing next to Aiden's spear which he then grabbed and threw, darting behind it towards Aiden. Tsk tsk tsk, you can only run for so long and didnt i say you need to ask before you touch my shit? Aiden said, the last words coming out in a tone of irritation. Aiden was not very fond of people touching his weapons, but this man not only did that but used it against him as well. Couching slightly, Aiden made his move. Mirage step. Aiden moved forward and jumped, landing on his spear mid flight. His weight beginning to make the spear drop he swung his axe vertically under him, the height of standing on his spear making his attack about the same height as the mans chest.

'Damn it' Alistair thought as the axe collided with his chest sending him spinning through the air landing on the ground a few meters away "gahh! Your good ill give you that" Alistair spat out as he pushed himself to his feet, his top cut open and blood trickeling from the wound staining his clothing, he gripped his needle and waited, his arms hanging limp at his sides

After his attack Aiden let his weight drop, both him and his spear falling to the ground. Flicking his spear into the air with his foot he grabbed it while holding his axe in his other hand. Spinning slightly he loosed his spear, letting it fly into the arena wall so it would be out of the way. Turning back to his opponent he flashed a smile. You too, its been a while since i fought someone that could dodge my attacks so well. This fight had been getting fun for Aiden and he didnt want it to stop anytime soon, the excitement was getting to him and he thought that if it continued he might lose himself in it. Aiden loved the rush a fight like this gave him and he would continue until he could immerse himself in it.

Hearing the mans name Aiden grinned. Alistair huh? My names Aiden. He said, paying too much attention to the conversation he didnt notice when the man moved and appeared next to him. Aiden realized he had made a mistake and it was too late to dodge or block and turning his head he took the hilt of Alistair's weapon to the forehead. Jumping backwards to put some distance between them Aiden wiped the blood that had begun to flow from the blow to his head, it would be bad if it got in his eyes and he knew this. Ripping a piece of cloth from his pants he tied it around his head to cover the wound and stop the blood from dripping into his eyes. Turning his gaze to Alistair he licked the blood off his hand and grabbed his axe, this would indeed be fun. Aiden ran forward, his body low to the ground and as he came into range he let out a low sweeping strike with his axe aimed at Alistair's legs and followed through with it, letting the attack turn his body as he shot his leg out as a side kick to his opponents ribs.

Alistair jumped lifting his knees up blocking his body which took the kick, Alistair used the transfer of moments to flip backwards landing on his feet. He looked towards Aiden before charging again, his body low to the ground and his centre of mass shifting as sung a kick up towards Aiden's axe's shaft sweeping his needle at his body in the gap he was attempting to produce.

Aiden's kick hit Alistair's knees so it didnt really do anything but push the man back though he used it to perform a backflip. Nice movement there. Aiden said nonchalantly with a grin as the man begun to charge back in towards him. But dont think its that easy! Aiden said in an excited tone as he shifted his grip on his axe. Mirage step. Aiden seemed to disappear though in his place was an after image of himself that seemed almost alive. Moving to the side of his opponent he swung horizontally in front of him aiming the flat side of his axe at Alistair's back, hoping the blunt force would cause him to lose balance or fall and he would use that to attack, like a wild animal would go for the killing blow he would descend upon his prey with a ferocity most wouldnt see let along have.

Alistair dropped to the ground his palms flat avoiding the blow to his back 'shit what was that' he thought, he only saw the attack because he came from the side. Alistair sung his body as he swept at Aiden's legs with his own as he got to his feet before jumping back trying to get some distance between them.

Aiden noticed he had made a bad movement, his opponent was able to see his attack and dropped to the ground. Before Aiden could react to the mans movement his legs were knocked out from under him, he looked over to see Alistair had put some distance between them. Aiden fell on his shoulder because he had made sure he didnt drop his weapon so he rolled onto his stomach and pushed himself to his feet. Rotating his arm to get rid of the feeling in his shoulder from the fall he laughed. Mannnnn... Its been a while since iv had a battle like this, you know your pretty good... I like that. Aiden commented to Alistair with a wide smile. Most of the people Aiden had run into and fought were weaklings and didnt deserve to climb the tower in Aiden's eyes, but this man was proving worthy and much more difficult then the other regulars. This fact brought excitement to him and he couldnt wait till he got what he was looking for, someone that could give him the rush he sought for. Crouching lightly on the balls of feet he leaner forward waiting for his opponents next move.

Alistair watched Aiden recover, *very professionally done he must he from a family, maybe even a great one* he thought as he readied himself making sure not to miss a step he needs to be sure not to miss his speed boost, it would be hard to avoid, just got to watch more than where he looks to be when he can't break the mirage.

"Thanks, your much better than I expected to fight at this level" he looked in his eyes "very frightening" Alistair ran in towards him needle pulled back as he ran "don't slip up and die, I want this to end with us both alive so we can do this again" 

Aiden watched the man charge towards him and smiled at the comment he made, as the man gott closer Aiden stabbed out with the tip of his axe. He knew it wouldnt cause much damage even if it hit and was using it as a setup for the real attack. After the thrust he spun to his right bringing the axe around in a whirlwind motion towards Alistairs upper torso. It seemed both fighters were oblivious to the noise of the crowd, screaming and cheering for the two as the traded and dodged hits. This was after all a spectator sport, none of them cared who won or lost, who lived or died. All they cared for was getting entertainment but this didnt matter to Aiden as long as he had his fun.
