Summary:
After luring Rise to Kumogakure's premier arena, Ren leaves the Shirokiri to settle a challenge issued in her name. One facade is shored as the heat of a 'friendly' spar transforms into a knockdown drag out fight.
"Test of Mettle, Reawakening of Demons"
Kanayama Hiko Arena - Fighting Ring [Kumogakure]
/oo\|/oo\|/oo\|/oo\|/oo\|/oo\|/oo\|/oo\|/oo\|/oo\|/oo\|/oo\|/oo\|/oo\|/oo\|/oo\|
The arena before you is as large as an open field. Vast stone walls surround the arena. They look as rough and uneven as the walls of a cave. The walls climb straight up, higher and higher to the distant stands. The only break in the rough hewn walls is a round, cave-like entrance leading back to the lobby. The grounds of the arena are a mixture of lands. On one half is uneven, rocky ground like many of the places found in Kumo. The other half is firm packed soil with a long row of full grown trees that encircle the edges of the arena. Within the center of the field is a wide, deep pool surrounded by sandy shores. It's a tribute to all five nations, yet seems to blend naturally together as if one were standing on the edge of the nations' borders.

"Oh c'mon Rise-chan!~ Aren't you at least a little bit excited seeing a bunch of idiots smack each other around? Doesn't it just get your blood pumping?!" Rise heterochromatic eyes remain glazed over even after being nudged by the speaker, her guardian and current reason for being at the Arena. The flamboyant man is a persitant one, of that there can be no doubt, but his words at this point have fallen on deaf ears.
Sure, she register the fact that there was some sort of grudge match being settled in the arena. And yes, there ability to smash each other into (and some times with) boulders were impressive feats of strength worthy of some attention. But dare she open her heart to an old pasttime? Did she want to be reminded of what she is, and of what can never be?
"… *huff*… I 'preciate what yer trying to do Tsuki-san, but I really should be getting back to the academy to finish scheduling things." She said, turning to him with a plastic smile.
Mitsuomi walked casually down the hallway of the arena. It had been a long time since he had been home, and even longer since he entered an arena by choice. Not since some woman decided it was fun to torture his mind with scenes from hospital horror shows. Still this would be fun for him.
As he made his way into the arena, he pulled his shirt over his head and launched it into the stands. No sense destroying another one. A faint smile wore on his faces as he looked to Rise.
"Been a long time since someone came calling me out. I hope you know what you have gotten yourself into Rise…chan."
Ren shrinks from the look at first, only to point back into the arena with eyes wide open in surprise. Rise had to do a double take just to make sure her eyes weren't playing tricks on her. Before she can even consider debating offering a word of warning to the combatants in the arena, Mitsoumi shocks some real focus into her with his declaration. "Call you — I didn't do any-…" She cuts back to her father, only to see a mokujin wearing his clothes in the seat beside her.
"Figures," She mutters as she rose up to stand. After giving the current fighters a quick once over, Rise whistles sharply to grab their attention. Fortunately for them, the adrenaline rush hasn't blinded them to much, and after curt gesture from the chuunin instructor, one actually growls defiantly at her. He doesn't get much further than that before his wiser friend wraps his hand over his mouth and starts dragging the fuming man away.
"… Its been a long time, Mitsoumi-sama. I figured you retired or somethin' after the tournament." She states before discarding her jacket and leaping into the arena, spinning and ultimately landing for in perfect moonsault. "How's the head?" She asks calmy.
Mitsuomi smirks, "Better now than it was then. I will remember to ask you the same thing come tomorrow. Let us not waste too much time catching up today. There will be plenty of time for that when the winner visits the loser in the infirmary."
A smile crossess his face as he begins to tense up. His chakra flaring to life pushing smaller rocks away from him at it gathers. With one final push it settles back down and his smile grows broad.
"The first attack will be yours. I will not move from this very spot, nor lift a finger to defend myself. Anything goes. You can try to slit my throat, gouge my eyes, or even…crush my man bits. Just try your best to actually hurt me little Rise."

COMBAT: It is now Mitsuomi's turn.
COMBAT: Mitsuomi focuses 4973 stamina to turn it into 6468 usable chakra!
RP: Rise joins the roleplay.
COMBAT: Mitsuomi finishes his turn.
COMBAT: It is now Rise's turn.
If Mitsoumi's intentions were to get Rise riled up like /everyone/ did in the good old days then, well, he succeeds… to a point. He would catch a flash of anger moreso in her gaze than expression briefly before she closed her eyes and let out a sigh.
"No. You go right ahead old timer. I don't wanna hear complaints later about going easy on me later." She states tonelessly as heterochromatic eyes open part way. A jest, and one that shocked her to the core. Though she tried to present an unshakable front, by balling up her hands at her side, she gave away a piece of the conflict.
She would not enjoy this.
She would not slip again.
As the internal mantra played on the background, chakra is slowly gathered up. In terms of volume it paled in comparison to what Mitsoumi just demonstrated. Still, there's the unmistakable heaviness to the air about her. And menace. Restrained menace.
COMBAT: Rise focuses 1942 stamina to turn it into 2000 usable chakra!
COMBAT: Rise finishes her turn.
COMBAT: It is now Mitsuomi's turn.
Mitsuomi sucks his teeth in disappointment. "Perhaps you need proper motivation to understand that it isn't a handicap."
Mitsuomi's muscles begin to bulge and convulse as countless small tendrils begin to writhe under his flesh. This wire like strands begin to converge and entwine thickening to look like steel cables fit for construction work twining through his muscles. His skin crawling and writhing as the cords of nerve tissue settle into place. Mitsuomi's muscles bulge to the point they seem ready to split his skin open and burst free.
"Rise…attack now before I lose control. It is your one shot before this becomes a fight foe your very life. Come little one, show me the growth of those not yet seeds when I last fought openly."
RP: Mitsuomi transforms into NERVES-OF-INSANITY-III.
COMBAT: Mitsuomi finishes his turn.
COMBAT: It is now Rise's turn.
Despite everything Rise has seen over her short life, the transformation Mitsuomi's body undergoes is one that can't simply be brushed aside without a thought. Her own skin began to crawl at the sight, and only sheer willpower kept her from shuddering as well.
'No… that isn't it' She furrowed her brow at the thought, only to snap back to full attention as Mitsuomi spoke up again. It wasn't a taunt, and yet… she still hesitated to act. Simple choices became complicated in mind. Too complicated. Rise's breathing began to become uneven, her heart raced, and a forgotten longing gnawed at her nerves.
The earth beneath her feet cracked as she leaped forward, quickly closing the distance between them in a matter of seconds to try and punch Mitsoumi square in the jaw hard enough to shatter most bone. Her body had acted on its own.

COMBAT: It is now Mitsuomi's turn.
COMBAT: Mitsuomi defends against POWER-PHYSICAL-II(35) attack from Rise with a ENDURE…49
COMBAT: Mitsuomi wins the roll.
Mitsuomi smirked as he felt her hand connect with his jaw. The force of the blow barely shifting his head. His chakra had absorbed the impact without any harm being done to him. A single word left his lips as he looked to her, "Disappointing…"
A heavy foot fell to the ground and his chakra exploded into a shockwave the cracked the ground beneath them. It should push Rise off balance if she isn't prepired for it. The opening would be brief, but it would be enough for him to deliver a right cross to her face. Enough chakra present there to crush a lesser shinobi's skull. Hopefully, Rise wasn't in that category.

COMBAT: Rise wins the roll.
COMBAT: Rise defends against BURST-IMPACT-II(30) attack from Mitsuomi with a ARRYTHMIA…55
COMBAT: Rise wins the roll.
Rise looks up sharply the moment her first met the unexpected resistance. The look of shock does not fade by the time she lands, which nearly costs her in the end. She leaped back more on instinct then conscious thought, evading the shockwave with effortless ease, but Mitsuomi offers no relief afterwards. The moment her foot touches the ground she shifts seemingly wrong keeping her face in the path of the fist, only to throw herself in the opposite direction, narrowly avoiding the strike.
The rarely used maneuver left her off balance to the point that she stumbles the first few steps. "Tch! Disappointing?" Rise parrots, mixing the word with a directionless growl. "Disappointing!? I'll show you disappointing!!" She yells even as another voice within yells otherwise. No matter how many times her bones and muscles complained about MItsoumi's toughness she he choose to endure the barrage again, Rise would lay into his center in a mix barrage of punches and kicks before throwing her weight behind a final spinning back kick.

COMBAT: Mitsuomi wins the roll.
Mitsuomi is no longer smiling. The barrage met by small shift of his body so the heavy blows only met his wildly shifting chakra. Every blow being easily deflected from landing in any meaningful way. As the barrage neared its end Mitsuomi's right arm began to visibly glow. The intensity of chakra visible to the naked eye. While his torso had moved, his feet stayed planted. His chakra being condensed and pushed through his body. Every muscle clench adding speed and force. When Rise stopped moving he shot a heavy straight punch for her face. The chakra finding its release at the end of his fist. The release resembled an auger bit of pure chakra firing away from his body.

COMBAT: Rise has successfully countered the attack.
RP: Rise transforms into BATTLE-LUST.
Stop moving? No. There isn't a single moment some part of Rise isn't in motion. As every strike failed to put a dent in Mitsuomi's defenses, the harder it became to ignore the old rhythm. Pain was the beat, her body the instrument, and the obstacle that stood before her… the inspiration for it all. As soon she 'stopped', Rise stepped in to meet Mitsuomi's fist seemingly head on. She spin past it and into his guard, then with all her might leaped into an uppercut without losing the momentum. Regardless of rather or not the giant adapts in time, the petite berserker was awake now, and more than willing to drive her fist into his gut, driving him back into the ground; one way, or another.

COMBAT: Mitsuomi defends against POWER-PHYSICAL-III(42) attack from Rise with a SURVIVAL-INSTINCT…58
COMBAT: Mitsuomi wins the roll.
Mitsuomi saw the lunging upward palm, and leapt up and back with it. His chakra surging in a vibrant blue cadence of crescent wavea rolling from his flesh sending a powerful gust of wind out around him. As his feet touch the ground both palms shoot out towards Rise a shockwave of chakra blasting from them. The force enough to turn a boulder to dust or completely powder a person's rib cage.
Rise's fist hits his chest and came to a dead stop against his chakra. His mass shifts as he pushes the arm back with a powerful shoulder lunge aimed at her chest. It merely serving as a distraction of pian for Mitsuomi to spin behind her. His powerful hand seeking her spine out. He wanted to grasp it and crush it as begore throwing her broken body to the dirt.

COMBAT: Rise defends against WAILING-DEMON-FIST(46) attack from Mitsuomi with a SUBTLE-DODGE…68
COMBAT: Rise wins the roll.
Rise eyes widen for a fraction of a second before narrowing as she tried desperately to fight against fate and gravity. She doesn't succeed, to say the least. Her form folds over his palm as they are driven into her, then flies away under the force of the shockwave. After subsequently ragdolling halfway across the arena until an unlucky boulder finally put an end to the disturbing displace, the match should've ended then and there.
But no, it does not end so easily. Little of the old Rise existed beneath the mass of skin. Shuuren made certain of that after the Bloody Mist Tournament. She threw her severely bruised body into one last attempt at a punch before being repelled by chakra; the catalyst that completed what the palms had started. Before succumbing to muscle paralysis, the bare minimum of what she could muster kept her swaying just out of reach of the giant's hands. But ultimately, out of breath and strength Rise fell to the ground.
COMBAT: Rise finishes her turn.
COMBAT: It is now Mitsuomi's turn.
If there a conscious part of Mitsuomi's mind left, he would have backed off and let Rise off with just this much of a beating. Unfortunately, for the both of them, that was not the case. His hulking body stalked towards her like a great predator. As he neared her, his hand stretched out again for her. This time to grab her by the back of the neck like a wolf raising a pup up from the ground. His hand clenching tight enough to crack bone. The other gathered an immense amount of chakra and leveled with her back. As he let the punch fly, his grasping hand would drop her. The explosion of chakra and brute force should send her flying away from him a second time.

COMBAT: Rise loses the roll and sustains 618 damage.
Once Rise fell the entirety of her focus switched to finding her breath again once the paralysis began affecting her lungs. What pain coursed through her system hardly registered to the Shirokiri during the task. Her limbs have been severed, bones broken, and fleshed seared on multiple occasions throughout her career. So, what's a little extra agony thrown on top?
It isn't until pressure began being applied that an addled mind picks up on a change in the environment. A bloody scream comes out unbidden as her very spine comes under direct duress, though not without her fighting it down first. Still, it overwhelms her to the point the pain inflicted by the follow up punch is swallowed by it.
'Get… up'
After bouncing along the ground for the third time, Rise swings her feet up under her before hitting it again, churning up earth as the rest of the momentum bleeds out. Seconds later, Rise's head snaps up, roaring as chakra surges to the surface, cracking the ground at her feet, filling her up with renewed vigor, and enshrouding her in a green aura that contrast against blood red skin. Beneath the surface her wounds begin to mend…
RP: Rise transforms into GATE-OF-PAIN.
COMBAT: Rise heals rise for 705 with LESSER REGENERATION.
COMBAT: Rise finishes her turn.
COMBAT: It is now Mitsuomi's turn.
Mitsuomi watches her rise back to her feet. The surge of chakra and primal scream make him smile. He had all but written her off as another weakling. Though she had endured more than most. It made her an adequately entertaining rag doll. So now was she going to inflict a single scratch on him.
With a low growl, he leapt into the air towards her. His chakra surged as he slamed into the ground, another shockwave being released as he lands. Both of his rain down in succession small amounts of chakra exploding off of them as the come down.

COMBAT: Rise wins the roll.
COMBAT: Rise counters against a BURST-IMPACT(37) attack from Mitsuomi with a LEAF-RISING-WIND…67
COMBAT: Rise has successfully countered the attack.
Her voice spent, Rise slumps forward, panting lightly until pressed again. Mitsuomi does not fail to disappoint on that front. With hardly a thought, her body was propelled into the air in a casual leap back, then moving forward at the moment of touchdown, guiding the first blow away in a timely parry. The opening created is one she exploits by swiftly swinging her leg up, hoping to catch Mitsuomi in the chin or abdomen as he adjusted himself to try and hit the smaller target.
Though her rage was no in full bloom, only the absolute minimum was available to her. For now. Overcharged cells were still dividing — still mending some of her injuries.
Soon…
COMBAT: Rise heals rise for 736 with LESSER REGENERATION.

COMBAT: It is now Mitsuomi's turn.
COMBAT: Mitsuomi defends against LEAF-RISING-WIND(67) attack from Rise with a SURVIVE…50
COMBAT: Mitsuomi loses the roll and sustains 462 damage.
Mitsuomi harnessed his chakra as he landed. The kick connecting with his throat and knocking him back. With a half step, he snarled as he looked to the woman. He spat out a small trickle of blood as his chakra began to surge. For the second time this fight and the first time in his life, Mitsuomi was preparing to use that technique again.
Mitsuomi began to glow blue as his chakra exploded from his body. He spun to face the woman as he slammed out both palms. His chakra bursting in a massive explosion aimed at Rise.
COMBAT: Mitsuomi attacks Rise with BLAZING-DOUBLE-DRAGON-PALM with a roll of: 73

COMBAT: It is now Rise's turn.
COMBAT: Rise counters against a BLAZING-DOUBLE-DRAGON-PALM(73) attack from Mitsuomi with a LEAF-DRAGON-GOD…114
COMBAT: Rise has successfully countered the attack.
Rise did not falter at the sight of the glow about Mitsuomi intensifying for a second time. Instead, the young Shirokiri shifted her stance ever so slightly in preparation for the assault. The moment Mitsuomi moved in, Rise kicked at the air with such speed and force, the very wind and earth spiraled about her in a fierce tornado. The wall of which would rebuff even the explosive force of Mitsuomi's attack, forcing him back just far enough to see her creation in all its beauty.
Very much like the dragon in which it took the form of, the head of the seemingly living entity would come down on the giant, chasing him if need be, and swallow him whole if given the chance. Once inside there would be no escape from its fangs — the very wind and debris caught up inside — tearing apart the surface over and over again.
COMBAT: Rise heals Rise for 734 with LESSER REGENERATION.

COMBAT: Mitsuomi loses the roll and sustains 1854 damage.
Mitsuomi watches his strike be buffeted aside by raging winds in sheer shock. He had never seen his attack deflected before. Nothing had been strong enough. Still, he stood his ground. As the raging dragon of wind came barreling down at him, he outstretched his hands coated in chakra. He met the fierce wind head on. His massive form struggling to hold back the fierce wind by its snapping jaws. At first he felt like he could do. He could hold back the beast.
Then he felt his chakra corroding away as his body began to shift and slide across the arena floor. In another heartbeat the world began to spin as he was spent into the maelstrom. His chakra armor stripped as the yell in his throat died. The air from his very lungs ripped from him. The world spun and fluttered in and out of a blackness that threatened to consume his consciousness. He saught an escape, but pain was all he found.
With a deafening boom, his body was slammed into the arena wall. Several inches of stone gone around his body and several feet cracked like an Okumo's web around him. One heavy bleeding hand slamed into the wall and began to push himself free of the arena's embrace.
COMBAT: Mitsuomi finishes his turn.
COMBAT: It is now Rise's turn.
Rise did not so much as see, but feel the struggle through the shifting currents in the wind. Surprised but undaunted, the Shirokiri added more to the subtle dance behind the maintenance of the dragon, increasing its strength until things at last shifted back into her favor.
If he screamed or yelled at all, the dragon would see to its silence. As some semblance of remorse worked its way to the surface, the winds died down enough for her victim to come back in sight. Alive. Dead. Neither of these things cross her mind as she walked closer to the embedded Mitsoumi, blissfully ignorant of the kind of attraction their battle has more than likely gained over the past few exchanges. When at last the petite form of the berserker stood before that of the behemoth, Rise took one last lengthy look before embedding both of her fists into the stone at his waist. Veins bulged to the surface in her arms and forehead as Rise crushed everything in her way path until her hands found Mitsoumi's back, then began to squeeze for all she's worth. What little wind remained in Mitsoumi would be robbed of him moments before she peeled him off the wall, taking parts of it with her as she suplexed him!

COMBAT: Mitsuomi wins the roll.
Mitsuomi's eyes could only half focus as the kunoichi returned the stalking gait he had demonstrated earlier. His ears were ringing loud enough to drown out the sound of crushing stone as she closed her grasp around his waist. His hands were pushing him closer to freedom as he felt the force of her embrace rip him free. Admist the sounds of falling stone were a loud crack of his spine realigning and a deep guttural twist of a scream and roar.
As the world begins to spin again, he snaps back into reality. His chakra coating him on pure instinct alone. The slam into the dirt does little more than refocus him. His arm begins to tense before a spiral of chakra can be seen banding it. His fist slaming out wildly to try and blast Rise away from him. He needed a moment to get his senses back, and she wasn't looking to give it.

COMBAT: Mitsuomi drains stamina from Rise
Rise scrambled to get back to her feet, but her efforts are in vain. A rock snares her foot, sending a jolt of pain through worn down muscles. The most she can manage in desperation is to knock Mitsoumi's fist aside, only for the concussive force of chakra behind to send her flying and further off-balance. Try as she might, Rise wouldn't be getting her bearings any time soon.
COMBAT: Rise finishes her turn.
COMBAT: It is now Mitsuomi's turn.
Mitsuomi lurches to his feet a bit unsteadily. This fight has worn him down. His chakra was waning, his muscles cried for rest, and he had more wounds than he care count. Still, reason was held at bay by the storm of sensations filling his mind. Rise was still moving, still capable of fighting, so he had to continue onward.
A low growl came from him. Gritted teeth caused a mist of blood to spray with every breath. His muscles bulged as he pushed himself further into the depth of madness. His insanity churning up chakra he couldn't even feel anymore. All he felt was pressure threatening to rip his wounds even wider.He felt it spiraling through him as the world itself began to stabilize. The force culminating in his shoulder, forcing his arm to raise. The chakra surged forth down his arm. As it passed his knuckle it was given form. An auger drill of chakra visible to the naked eye went spiraling for Rise's form. Hopefully it would end it.

COMBAT: Rise defends against FORGED-IRON-NEEDLE(42) attack from Mitsuomi with a TENSE…15
COMBAT: Rise loses the roll and sustains 1286 damage.
Blind rage pent up for far too long kept her numb to much of the pain, but not all of it. Regenerated tissue still raw and senstive warn her only moments before the pressure against her side builds up to the point that sheer agony nearly shuts her down completely.
Afterwards, consciousness is a fleeting thing. Long after Rise's airborne trip concluded with her among a pile of rubble that once made up one of the arena's many boulders, the world spins in her view. Disgust more than anything gives her cause to spit out whatever copper filled her mouth before forcing limbs that longed for rest back into motion. She wasn't even conscious enough to notice it at this point.
Rise only had a focus in mind. An instinct that nudged, threatened, and guided her to search out the one responsible. To search out its long awaited meal. The moment her eyes fell upon Mitsuomi the widened with excitement, then quickly narrowed as she dashed in his direction. Weakened as she was, Rise still managed to move at such a dizzying pace that few eyes could track her. When she finally does pause for a moment, it is only to bound forward, elbow extended and supported by her other hand for a single bone shattering strike.

COMBAT: Mitsuomi counters against a LEAF-ROCK-DESTROYING-RISE(75) attack from Rise with a BLAZING-DOUBLE-DRAGON-PALM…65
COMBAT: Mitsuomi loses the roll and sustains 1603 damage.
Mitsuomi couldn't keep sight of Rise's movements as much as he could hear and feel them. His nerves pushed to their limit. His chakra surging enough that he shone like a beacon for an instant. As Rise lunged forward, his hands shot out in a double palm strike to release a massive chakra blast at her. He felt his hands connect, but it was not at his full extension. Her elbow drove his arms apart as she continued in. The elbow causing his head to snap back as he lost control of his chakra. The built up force exploding the ground just behind rise.
A smile grew across his split lips in that moment. "Welcome to the Asylum Rise. You truly are like me…only you try to hide it too much." As the ragged words passed his lips, his nerves receded into his flesh like countless snakes fleeing death. Clouded eyes cleared, and slowly closed showing the return of the true Mitsuomi. Even as labored breaths slowed, it seemed that this behemoth of a man would not fall to the ground even in unconsciousness.
RP: Mitsuomi reverts to his normal state.
COMBAT: Mitsuomi finishes his turn.
COMBAT: It is now Rise's turn.
Her expression — once frozen in pure excitement — became manic during the final moments. Just as she had tried earlier, Mitsuomi sought to throw himself into a final, inescapable maneuver. It is a chance no sane person would take, but fortune most often favored the bold. Rise did not contemplate it; only accepted and praised her prey on some subconscious level.
Shaken still by the impact despite all defense being abandoned at the end, Rise stood before Mitsuomi, still smiling, panting, and itching by the looks of her to keep things going despite the body's complaints. Thoughtless did she inch forward, blissfully ignorant of Mitsuomi's words until slumber took him, shocking sense into her, and providing an opening for his words to sink in.
Shock gives way to indignation, indignation to rage, and finally rage became to numbness. Unless stopped or intercepted at some point, Mitsuomi would wake up later in the hospital with a practically mummified Rise seated and asleep at his side.
