-Neo Banisher walks in slowly and finds a spot to stay in-

[The Badguy]

*Lapus runs straight past Shinjuku Village and into the Battle Arena towards where he is to fight.*

Lapus: I have to drop all this off afterwards! I must get to that battle!

*He spies his arena, but the doors are closing. Running as fast as he can, Lapus just barely squeezes through them and in the arena. He skids to a halt and attempts to catch his breath. panting heavily he looks up at the Neo Banisher in the corner.*

Lapus: Did *pant pant* Did I *pant* Did I make it? *pant*

*The Neo Banisher simply scoffs at Lapus and turns his head to the side arrogantly. Lapus looks shocked at the beast and then turns his eyes to Kimimaro. He is about to collapse from his running paired with the idea he could be counted out.*

Lapus: Lord Kimimaro!? *pant* I swear *pant pant* I would have been here sooner, but your quest! I ran as fast as *cough* I could! Lord Kimimaro please!

(I would've wrote the battle, but I have to go to bed. It's up to you whether Lapus can still compete or not. Sorry I couldn't post sooner on this.)

[Akatsuki Dizzy]

I'll let it pass this time around because you were lucky enough to make it in in time. Just be careful with this fight, he is 4 levels highe then you.

EDIT: But that means this fight must be completed today (Feb 11th).

[The Badguy]

Lapus: Thank you so much, Kimimaro. I will look out for myself in this match.

*Lapus feels a change in the wind and pulls his tail in front of him just in time to barely have a few stands of fur cut from it and hears something smash into the ground behind him. He looks behind himself and sees his own scared stiff expression reflecting in the Neo Banisher's massive sword. *

Lapus: Tha... That almost cut off my tail!

*The Neo Banisher lifts his blade grinning as Lapus checks his tail fully. He glares angrily at the Neo Banisher.*

Lapus: You tried to cut off my tail you- GAH!

*He ducks just narrowly avoiding being cut in half as the sword flies over his head. Lapus leaps as far away from the Neo Banisher as he can and it sits in place watching him but holds it's sword at the ready. Lapus closes his eyes panting heavily.*

Lapus: you may think you have the upper hand.... But you just caught me off guard...

*He looks up to make sure the Banisher's sword isn't flying at him again and sees it hasn't moved much since he retreated to the distance.*

Lapus: (He doesn't move much at all... and he's slow to recover after he swings. That gives me an idea... That jerk is going to pay for trying to chop off my tail.)

*Lapus moves hesitantly closer the Banisher. It doesn't seem seem care much. He gets even closer and suddenly it swings the blade smashing into the ground, Lapus narrowly avoids it and runs forward as the beast tries to recover and slashes it across the stomach. However, the attack only does 20 damage to the beast, barely piercing it with his claws. Lapus tries to leaps back but the beast catches him in one hand. He struggles as the beast squeezes his body in his hand causing him 70 damage. Unable to break free of the grip Lapus focuses his energy into his pendant. As he begins to glow the Banisher cocks his arm back, sword in hand, ready to decapitate Lapus. Lapus finally reaches his focus point just as the sword is about to meet his neck.*

Lapus: SQUAAAALLL!!!

*The Banisher's sword bounces away from Lapus, repelled by a green glow around his pendent. The green light then covers the Banisher's hand gripping Lapus and begins to tear at it causing him 60 damage and he quickly lets go of Lapus and moves backwards gripping his shredded hand. Then a glowing green ring with the DeMonet symbol appears under the Banisher. A small tornado begins to form from the ring and knocks the Banisher staggering backwards causing 30 damage. Lapus falls to the ground breathless from the Banisher’s crushing grip. He hacks as he tries to move back from the Banisher. The Banisher regains his balance and throws an uncontrolled swing of his sword in rage at Lapus, but the young werebeast is just able to get out of range of the great blade.*

Stats: Lapus- HP: 49 MP: 72
Neo Banisher: HP- 270

END PHASE I

*Lapus did some damage to the Neo Banisher, but more than anything he made the beast angry. The Banisher roars as it flails its sword at Lapus, who is just outside the range of the blade. Blood drips from his disfigured hand from the power of the pendant’s spell and he is holding the twisted hand in a fist of rage as he swings at Lapus. Lapus drags himself further away from the Banisher and rises to his feet. He then focuses into his pendant again and it begins to glow. The Banisher sees the glow and, seeing as it cut his hand before, begins to lumber slowly toward Lapus. Lapus finally gathers his energy.*

Lapus: Moonlight SONATA!

*Moondust rains upon Lapus and he regains 37 HP. He looks up and the Banisher is right upon him raising his sword to crush Lapus.*

Lapus: I WON’T DIE SO EASILY!!!

*Something beastial erupts inside of him and Lapus leaps at the Banisher’s arm. He slides around to the back of the Banisher and attempts to sink his teeth into the neck, but the muscle of the beast will not let him get through to the Banisher’s blood causing only minor damage. The Banisher roars as he flails Lapus around trying to toss him loose, but the werebeast has a death grip on the Banisher. Finally his fangs pierce the rough exterior of the Banisher, and blood spurts out of the neck and his claws go out and he begins to wildly slash into the Banisher’s wound causing a total of 160 damage. Finally the Banisher throws his own body against the wall of the arena, crushing Lapus and causing him 35 damage. The Banisher gives one more swing and throws Lapus to the ground rolling to a stop. Blood flies from the open wound in the Banisher’s neck and he gets 20 more damage. The Banisher staggers about in rage and delirious from his blood loss.*

Stats: Lapus- HP: 51 MP: 47
Neo Banisher: HP- 90

END PHASE II

*Lapus hacks blood as he drags himself to his knees. He looks at his bloodied claws and tastes the blood covering his mouth. He looks curiously at himself*

Lapus: *cough hack* What… just happened? Was… Was that me?

*Suddenly a great blade stabs into Lapus’ leg, splitting the bone as it cuts through and causing him 48. Lapus let’s out a pulsing scream as the Banisher lurches over him, both hands on his blade. Lapus tries desperately to push the sword from his leg and he looks up into the eyes of the Banisher, tears streaming from his eyes. He sees that of a blood thirsty monster, beyond all rational anymore. It growls with glee as it forces the blade in Lapus’ leg. All Lapus’ energy is sapped trying to push the blade out of his leg and the Banisher finally pulls it out. He then lifts Lapus by the neck and readies to stab him through the chest. Lapus actually begins to despair at the end.*

Lapus: (I… I could never really win could I… I was way outta my league… trying to win this tournament… I’m not a winner… I’m not even that good at fighting… Who… who was I to think I could win against the others, let alone these monsters……….)

*He starts to black out as the monster’s choke on his neck steadies him for the end. Suddenly a picture of his sister, a great knight, appears before his eyes.*

Lapus: (…Sister… You were brave… and great… I so… I wanted so bad… to be like you……….. Then… I’ll just die here………. NO!… I WON’T FAIL OUR FAMILY!… I WON’T! I… I… AM THE LAST!)

Lapus: I AM THE DEMONET FAMILY! I WILL NOT DIE BY YOU’RE HAND!!!

*Lapus claws spread wide and he cuts straight through the arm of the Banisher and leaps backwards. He spreads his claws wide staggering on his feet and his pupils turn to slits as he looks up at the Banisher. His pendant glows green and the DeMonet emblem swirls inside it.*

Lapus: FOR THE HONOR OF THIS CREST!!!

He leaps into the air above the Banisher and dives downward.*

Lapus: Moonsault SLAAAAASH!!!

*The Banisher has no time to react Lapus lands on the other side past the Banisher and lies roughly bouncing to the ground. The Banisher tries to turn his head and the wound in his neck suddenly fully opens. The Banisher has been decapitated by Lapus’ claws. The burst inside of Lapus completely gone he lies very still. Tears are streaming down his face as he smiles with his eyes closed. For a moment, he feels his Sister, the holy knight, and her warmth cradling his body and he gives way to the warmth of his sister, cradling him in her gentle yet strong arms.*

Lapus: …Sis…ter… Thank… you…<br>

[chaos unleashed]

Throughout the indignant battle, Hayaté watched Lapus deul it out with the banisher. He was quite amazed at Lapus' power and smiled as he slowly closed his eyes.

'He...He's quite the warrior.. If he trains, I wont be surprised if he can take on me and still come out alive' He demoniclly thought.

He opened his eyes as the smile detariated into a frown. A spirit was in the battlefield. The atmosphere was quite. Lapus lay on the battlefield in a very bloody state.

Kimimaro teleported in, he kneeled down at lapus, and healed Lapus

Lich: You do know that he can beat you up to a pulp if he really tried to..

[Note: Hayaté talks to his summon Lich in his mind.]

Hayaté: Hmm.. I never knew you could talk to me... aren't you supposed to be in the ragnarok??

Lich: I was... I just need some fresh air...

Hayaté: Oh.... And yeah I actually agree with you...

Lich: You sensed the power inside him as well eh?

Hayaté: no duh! humph... if he knew how to control it, he could even take on the likes of you.... and ME together...

Lich: you scared..

Hayaté smiled once again

Hayaté: Hardly... he's got a helluva long way before he can take on me...

Lich: Shall we get going back to Shinjiku? that God guy must have the next quest..

Hayaté: Let's go

The Spirit dissolved and the black air shrouded around Hayaté was attracted into the Ragnarok. The Dark Warrior was so quick it looked like he teleported on to the highest peak of the arena.

He Lapus slowly getting up and thanking Kimimaro. He jumped off of the peak and landed 40 feet to the ground unharmed, and slowly walked towards Shinjiku

[Akatsuki Dizzy]

Kimimaro: Good job, for your level you put up quite the fight against the strongest of the three tourny bosses. -Kimimaro heals Lapus- go finihs up your quest quick before the last round.

[The Badguy]

*Lapus rises slowly to his feet and examines his leg. He is greatly relieved the wound there is completely gone. He bows graciously to Kimimaro.*

Lapus: Thank you very much Lord Kimimaro. The strongest of the monsters you say? I... I couldn't believe I beat that beast myself... I must be getting better at this fighting thing.

*He smiles happily, but his eyes suddenly travel. For a second, he is almost certain he sees a dark shadow moving in the distance, but the feeling fades a split second later. Lapus shrugs and smiles at Kimimaro.*

Lapus: Thank you again. Then I'll be off to Shinjuku village. See you in a moment!

*Lapus excuses himself and runs out the arena doors. Nothing can bring him down he thinks to himself. He has toppled the greatest of the tourny beasts and has gotten all the items for his quest. The Tournament's third match starts very soon. Lapus prays to his pendant that he will be ready to fight the enemy and be victorious no matter who they are.*
