Ultra-Dimension dropped from his ship in the sky, landing in the arena in full gear. ~~ Gecko: The first 12 seconds of the fight went fairly much like this. [youtube]WJ-afKCOZZc[/youtube] Granted, it was a samurai doing Sentai poses, and it was a Saiyan descendant using a finger gun, but the feel is still largely the same. As Ultra-Dimension staggered from the blow to his upper left, for a moment, David brought up his other hand and proceeded to open a volley of fire. The first shot got through sizzling into Ultra-Dimension's armor, but the next four were absorbed into Ultra-Dimension's blade as his guard was raised. The black vortex surrounding Ultra-Dimension's sword, although it had been used earlier in the fight with Shin Zen, had not shown its true purpose yet. Regardless, Ultra-Dimension seemed to get the idea that his antics would not be allowed this fight, and rather than declaring his next attack, he simply let it show itself. White lightning crackled from his blade, and the two damaged spots in his armor began repairing. The Finger Gun had showed its power when it hit, but against Ultra-Dimension's blade, every shot was a liability Ultra-Dimension could use to recharge. Duthguy: Seeing that ki-attacks were ineffective David decided to switch physical attacks despite the risk Ultra-Dimension's blade presented. With any luck he could successfully use his second signature attack and get some damage in that way. He charged at at his opponent from the right, hoping that the loss of the samurai's eye would give him some extra time. And it seemed his plan had worked, the first hook kick connected though the armor naturally decreased the effect. However it seemed Ultra-Dimension was expecting an attack from his blind spot, since he used his katana's blunt edge to sweep David's leg out from underneath while the Saiyan descendant was still unbalanced. The younger fighter fell down on the ground, giving the armored human the advantage. Gecko: Ultra-Dimension now had David in a perfect position to slice, but did not do so, instead leaping up into the air slightly before sending a knee crushing down towards David. The slight window was all David needed to flip himself up, dodging the blow narrowly. David was in position to strike at Ultra-Dimension's blind side just after they both landed, but Ultra-Dimension had once again expected that, holding his unsheathed katana there, making it dangerous for David to attack. This hesitation was all Ultra-Dimension needed to attack again. Rising from his half-kneeling position, Ultra-Dimension swung his sword in a windmill motion, timing the apex of his speed rising with the apex of power of the swing as it rose. A fast and strong attack, but very obvious, a way to force David off-balance as he dodge. Then something David didn't expect happened. Ultra-Dimension combined his motion with a flip, hooking his feet under David's arms. Ultra-Dimension was using Shin Zen's Flip Kick Combo? David expected the next move, catching himself in a handstand instead of having his head rammed into the ground. Then, he swept his legs down to counter the next move in the combo. But Ultra-Dimension wasn't on the ground. Instead of continuing the combo, he had pushed himself into the air over David using his arms, buying a moment to sheath and lock his sword before sweeping down, a sheathed Iaijtusu strike, aimed downwards from above. Once again, David barely dodged, Ultra-Dimension's katana, even sheathed smashing through the stone arena floor. As David regained his footing, Ultra-Dimension tore his blade up from the arena floor, sending a spray of shattered rock at David. David parried the largest rocks, but was still ever so slightly damaged by the many glancing hits. Neither fighter had landed a true attack in hand to hand yet. Of similar experience, instinct, and power, it was an even fight so far. Duthguy: David couldn't help but be impressed Ultra-Dimension really surprised him with his last few moves, especially the rock spray which left him with some minor cuts and bruises on his arms. From what the Saiyan descendant could tell this human was stronger and smarter than Teemo. David once more charged at the samurai seemingly going for the blind spot again, but he changed direction just before coming into melee range. Hoping that an attack from the left would catch Ultra-Dimension off guard, he went for a punch aimed at what appeared to be a weak spot in the samurai armor namely the black section around his opponent's waist. Gecko: Ultra-Dimension was fooled by the bluff. In order to attack, he had taken his primary hand of his katana, grabbing at David and attempting a knee attack while his secondary hand defended his blind side. Without the speed of both hands on his weapon, the punch hit Ultra-Dimension square. But, due to not dodging due to following through on his strike to maximize power, David was hit by Ultra-Dimension's attack in turn. The rest of the battle took the same tone. They would dodge and block each others attacks, and only once they both committed to an attack at the same time would either of them be hit, so equally matched was their martial prowess. In order to land a two handed overhead swing, freezing David's left shoulder with the force of its landing, Ultra-Dimension had to accept a reverse back kick to the chest, at the same weak point his armor had been hit before, this time fully shattering the armor over Ultra-Dimension's abdomen, bloody shards sticking in both fighters, but ignored by strength of will. In order to cripple Ultra-Dimension's primary hand with a muy thai like pincer elbow and knee strike, followed by a point-blank Finger Gun to the shoulder to make sure, David had to accept an axe kick to the ankle, sending him down to one knee. Ultra-Dimension's katana fallen to the ground, and David on one knee, both fighters had one last moment to regard one another as they unleashed their final attack. No words were spoken. With the sword out of the way, Ultra-Dimension no longer had a defense against the Finger Gun. With David's ankle damaged, David couldn't dodge or buy time to launch multiple attacks. Ultra-Dimension's sheath swung forward, David thumb came down. David went to the ground, while Ultra-Dimension staggered backwards, his helmet cracking before falling off, revealing the battered man beneath with an eyepatch, breathing raggedly from his chest injuries. Ultra-Dimension fell to one knee, but kept himself upright with his sheath, his dominant hand still hanging limply from the shoulder. The count began, and David did not rise. The fight was over by knock out, a brutal slug match with full power right from the beginning. ~~ "A fight with honor. My respect, warrior." After retrieving his weapon, Ultra-Dimension slowly and ritually sheathed it, scraping the blade against the top of the sheath before actually sheathing it.
