Zucceta rippled in and out of vision in the way Wyntre had come to expect from a practitioner of the After-Image technique. Her attack was evaded easily enough, but now Zucceta was the one attacking again. The Saiyan appeared above the Empress, arms together, as she made a slamming motion downwards. But, not to be outdone, Wyntre maneuvred her head out of the way of the attack in a motion that allowed her next attack: a kick to Zucceta's defenceless stomach.

To be capable of kicking Zucceta, in response to a heavy blow aimed for the back of Wyntre's head, the Arcosian would have to somewhat kick out behind her, which isn't a easy manoeuvre to do. The saiyan raised her right knee to her 'defenseless' stomach, blocking the foot before it collided with her gut. With her hands now free, Zucceta span the Arcosian around and, with her organic hand, released a ki blast aimed at the Arcosian's chest.

Zucceta blocked the strike sent to her stomach with a knee and put her opponent in a spin. Wyntre took this as an opportunity to gather some distance and continue the spinning motion so that she was facing her opponent. The Saiyan was quick, certainly, but… well, there's no 'but' to it: she was quick to strike, and Wyntre only barely managed to cancel out the Ki attack with one of her own. "I commend you: your skill is considerable." It's a shame, however, that it's wasted the likes of you.
There they were, two masters of Ki in opposition. Each of them has killed the other yet, here they stand, stronger than they ever have been. There's sure to be an metaphor in there somewhere.
[3/3KP] Their power is maximum.

"Same to you, Empress." If only you could use it for the good of your world. Of course, this Wyntre probably thought she had been using it for that purpose.
"I regret fuelling the animosity between saiyans and arcosians in my world," the saiyan said, drifting away from Wyntre slightly as they descended back down to the ring. "It's a feud that serves only hell. The galaxy would thrive if the saiyan and arcosian people could put aside their shared history, and fight for a better world together. Do you not agree, Wyntre?"

”Oh, certainly.” The idea of Saiyans and Arcosians working together was one of the most powerful motivators for galactic conquest and/or diplomatic annexation on a grand scale. ”The Saiyans in my world now live in peace. They are put to work doing a lot of the things they would have been doing anyway and, despite many not wanting to work for the Empire, they do their jobs well enough.” Although perhaps Zucceta had something else in mind? Wyntre really couldn’t tell if this was insinuating that Zucceta believed that her Arcosians should join with her SSE or that the SSE and AE should form an alliance, or even unite as a nation. Regardless, from what Wyntre had heard of the racial struggles in many of the universes, she didn’t think it was going to happen. ”I suppose you hope to achieve something like this in your universe, presumably with a Saiyan at its head?”
Wyntre followed her opponent down to the ring proper. ”Regardless, I feel our time limit is nearing its end. Come see after: we can discuss political matters over wine. But, for now…”
Ki gathered in her hands. In her right gathered red ki, and in her left blue. They formed and grew and sparkled, each looking dangerous in its own right… but then Wyntre’s propelled them together. The two forms of energy spun around each other of contact, forming a double helix of pain. And, just before they were to reach Zucceta, the two colours united into a glorious purple.

"You misunderstand me. The galaxy would benefit from a democratic star nation, with checks and balances to prevent the likes of you or me...'s. No unelected 'head', and no need for great wars, millions of dead souls. Citizens. Children."
"But you're right. Let's finish this."
It was time to take a risk.
The Super Themis Beam collided with Zucceta, who had raised her arms into a classic 'x' formation. The wave of purple energy enveloped her, and smoke billowed from her form, as her golden aura struggled against it. Her feet scraped along the katchin ring, and despite its vast durability her feet dug trails across the supermetal surface.
The beam faded, and the smoke cleared. Zucceta stood, panting deep breathes, a trickle of blood dripping from the corner of her lip. The suit and shirt sleeves of her suit had been singed away, and her arms had deep purple bruises on the underside. However, her golden aura roared high; she was preparing something.

Oh, democracy. It sounded sweet and useful but, as Wyntre had seen first hand, the tyranny of the people was worse than that of any autocrat. The Empress thought up a few quips, like how billions had died in Zucceta’s universe because the wars were allowed to continue or how barely anyone had died in her own timeline’s war because of, not in spite of, her being the ‘unelected head’. But, she thought better of it. After all, things were starting to get interesting. The Super Themis Cannon hit her foe, brilliant. If I can not get hit in the remaining few minutes, I’ll get into the next round! But, perhaps it wasn’t going to be quite so easy. ”Oh?”Oh indeed. ”What are you doing?”She sensed the ki building up in Zucceta’s body. ”… Oh.”Oh indeed. And, if her Scouter was giving the numbers correctly, an attack sent with that ki would be substantially more powerful than the one she sent herself. All she could really do was gather her energy and hope she could come up with some way to avoid the attack.
I regret not giving her a stun, but oh well. By a literal reading of After-Image, unfortunately for Empress, the technique dodges attacks of less power, but not equal exactly. A shield would lessen damage, but even by that point she’d have been hurt by an attack twice as powerful as the one sent to Zucceta, and not even Arcosian Durability can put much of a dent in that (not that it’d even mechanically do anything). So, I think Empress is quite boned. Her best hope is to only take 133% damage, I believe. It’s been a good fight. Good luck in Round 2. [2/3KP]
But Wyntre wasn’t going to give up so easily. Zucceta thought she could just shoot an attack directly after being struck? Well, perhaps two can play at that game. It probably wouldn’t be enough, but to damn with it if she was to lose she’d lose with a bang! ”You’ve put me a tricky situation, Zucceta! Let me return the favour.”Ki began to gather in her finger and made it blow. Closing one eye, Wyntre aimed her Death Finger Gun at Zucceta.
[N1] Ki Beam charging! She’s counting on Zucceta not being able to charge it to 300% by the time limit but will almost certainly lose regardless. Gee that fake signature sucks. [0/3KP]

Zucceta grinned, in spite of the pain wracking her body. "If there's one thing I am, its resilient. Some have called me roach-like. I take it as a compliment."
Zucceta's eyes glinted with her chance at victory. The Arcosian had began to gather her own energy... which wouldn't allow Wyntre energy to regenerate at all, or give her the ability to effectively counter the coming tide. At least, to Zucceta's knowledge; she could be dead wrong. But her gut said otherwise.
She moves her hands to her side, cupping them above her chest to her right. Crimson streams of neon light shoot out from between her finger tips, illuminating her face maliciously. Her cerulean eyes gleam with the red reflection.
"This is it. WARHEAD!" The super saiyajin screamed, thrusting her hands forwards. An energy beam, red as blood and twice the size of her body, spilled out like a flood dam failing, a crashing, roaring wave of pain screaming the distance towards the Empress... with the intent of knocking her, flying, out of the boundaries of the entire arena, if not unconscious, too.

Wyntre had planned on taking on the attack and then sending her own, as Zucceta had done. What she hadn’t taken into account nearly as much, however, was if she’d be able to survive Zucceta’s attack enough to send her own. By the looks of it, she couldn’t.
Well, never mind that. She’ll just have to send her attack in there and initiate a beam struggle, short though it may be.
The red energy in her finger intensified and intensified… Zucceta sent her attack. Nearing the last moments of charging, Wyntre sent her own attack. It expanded and slowed the massive red Warhead attack but, in all but a few short moments, it was enveloped by its power. The attack rushed on forwards towards the Arcosian, now regretful of some of her more recent moves.
”Spot of bother.”
The attack smashed into her and pushed her where it pleased. It hurt, it really very much did hurt, but Wyntre could ignore the pain by focusing entirely on her survival. But not even her full attention would save her from the power of the Warhead.
When the smoke cleared it was clear to see that the Empress was not standing where she stood before. In fact, she was on the ground, out of the ring, unconscious.
That ended well and close to the time limit. Good match.

The arcosian couldn't quite resist the magnitude of Zucceta's destructive wave. The fight had been close, and hard fought, but the conflicted super saiyajin had managed to come out on top. She wiped the trickle of blood from her lip and, massaging her arms with each opposite hand, floated towards Wyntre's spot. The Arcosian was cratered in the ground, below the floating Minor League rings.
A Namekian from the Vargas' universe was already healing the Arcosian, his hands glowing with white magics. If the arcosian were to regain consciousness, Zucceta would have a hand extended to her foe, both to help her from the ground and to shake her hand. She had reassumed her base form. "Good match, Empress."

And so the crowds went wild, pleased with the end of the match, complete with an actual fight for once in this tournament. Capper couldn't help but to find himself cheering also for a moment. A winner was had. "Zucceta has passed round one, and will advance to the next match!"
