Who am I?

Luke is looking around and just waiting for the dust to settle as he was fine inside his suit beyond the blind part. He sends a call out to his grandfather as he is standing there waiting for it to settle. "I wonder if we can get a reward from Rendered for services rendered." he is laughing some in good humor and even his grandfather laughs from his booth "They should at least cover repairs but we have two arenas anyways so classes can be at the other one for now."

Carter is working with others and checking for wounded and while some are hurt nothing is major. However the dust is the main issue but as it is nearly all gone they see Luke still standing in the middle like the cocky asshole he is. Carter is looking around and sees another dark mass in the dust but this one is not standing.

Luke looks over as it is finally nearly gone he holds his arms up and cheers out in victory as now they can see him. A few cheer out but not many as most are pissed about the weapons and risk to themselves. This was just a damn student fight after all. He is spinning around and stops as everyone hears a deep dark hissing sound.

Everyone looks around and turns as the dust settles and in one area is Dante but he doesn't look the same. He stands as his body is reflective obsidian in coloration as the body design is that of his canine form with emerald around the eyes and golden designs down the arms with the same two symbols on the back of each hand.

Dante stands straight and slowly lifts his hand to brush off his chest as he looks to Luke. "Well congratulations, you managed to make me put my suit on." Luke takes a step back as everyone had seen him dive towards that grenade. As he stammers and motions towards him Dante smiles darkly. "Did you forget already?" he starts to walk forward as his body tenses and he roars "I AM THE GOD OF BEASTS!"

The stands are silent for a moment before several voices echo out in roars, howls, caws, and assorted other sounds as his squad call out. Everyone jerks as they have all shifted into their suits and Dante howls out loud and with him synced to the system his voice is nearly a sonic attack to Luke.

Luke lifts his gun again and going to fire when a small dagger slams into it cutting along the side of the main body as Luke throws it away before it explodes. Looking forward Dante is standing there as his body is shaking and Luke smiles. "There is no way you took that blast without injury."

Luke closes in quickly as they resume hand to hand fighting and most can tell Dante isn't moving as quick as before and they all know why. Xin is running now and grabs Carter's arm. "Will Dante be okay sir?" before he can respond a loud cracking sound is heard as the two separate as this time Luke opted for the exchange and Dante sways some "Oh no Dante!"

Dante coughs up more blood as he does a quick mental check and is sure he has nine busted ribs and his guts feel like he was beaten by a damn Colossal Bear for an hour. Dante puts his arm up and sends a quick jab followed by another from the other side as he steps in grabbing Luke and sends a knee up and as Luke blocks with both arms he slams their heads together as he tries to bust his helm.

Luke reels from the hit but they just keep coming but soon as he guards his head knees start to slam into his body. Between the two he can't afford to suffer rib wounds too. Dante can't keep this up long so he just needs to outlast. After whichever hit it is his visor cracks and his eyes widen as he realizes finally what Dante is after.

He kicks Dante taking another hit as his helm busts and creates a distance. Looking forward he sees Dante is breathing heavy and spitting blood while Luke is in far better condition. Looking at it and seeing the obvious weakness in his suit since busted he mocks Dante. "What you trying to force a weakness but are too afraid?"

His voice stops as Dante's head area pulls back and his eyes are locked on him. "I finally get to see the fear in your eyes." With that Dante launches back into Luke and the two are fighting rapid but none can miss Dante is losing ground steadily.

Edna is watching over the holo and feels herself worried but as she isn't there, she can't take him away. Her mother is there to make sure she doesn't do anything to cause trouble either. Ally sets a hand on her shoulder and smiles softly as Edna looks up. "That boy has survived worse than this, so don't count him out until he says it. You care this much then trust this much."

Lisa is now looking around and seeing a couple with smug expressions she is sure who is supporting this prick. His use of weapons shouldn't ever be allowed but despite the rifle and grenade the match isn't stopped. Looking over Jenny nods as they look forward and both hope Dante ends this match as victor.

Dante flies backwards and hits the ground rolling as his shoulder touches down before his legs swing around to take Luke from his charge. He sends a knee into his face knocking him away as Dante pushes off and takes several steps back. He steadies his feet and faces Luke as he gets up wiping the blood from his face as Dante coughs more out.

Dal shouts out and Dante hears her voice. "In professional fights if you can you are allowed to use formulas and since he used a damned grenade, heal up Dante!" Dante blinks a few times and decides he will do everything Dal wants later!

Luke laughs and stands up as he spits more blood out. "Like a bottom feeder like you has something that good on you?" Onya just grins as she knows what he carries on him and her eyes sparkle as she is even more in love with this fight.

Dante looks to him and after a moment shakes his head as he runs his hand through his hair. "You really know nothing if you think that is true." as Luke looks to him he smiles and points to himself "What am I you idiot?"

Luke spits and laughs. "You are some weak bastard who begs others for help and nothing but a sellout who disgraces our school!" Dante moves his hand past his hip as he downs a pair of bright blue vials as Luke gasps "Where did you get those?!"

Dante looks to him and smiles as he can feel his bones forcefully aligning and shakes his head. "Here is your best chance. If my ribs fix up I can do something your mind can't process but until then I am to weak." he smiles "Body cost of ancient tech is high."

Edna looks to Ally as her eyes are wide since why bring that up unless he has something stored away. Luke not knowing what is going on but knows if Dante heals up the fight will be harder launches at him once more. They are back in exchanging blows and he is counting on his gear ramping up his moves to beat Dante down.

They separate yet again but this time he hits a knee as Dante stays upright and is walking towards him with a smile. "Tell me who told you to use those weapons and if you do I will not destroy you, today." Dante moves quickly and kicks him in the face as he flies backwards to roll along the ground "If you don't. I will make you so far below a human no one can save you!"

The Principal comes over and grabs Carter. "Why haven't you stopped this? My grandson is in danger! You will be fired if you don't stop him!"

Carter looks to him and narrows his eyes. "Your grandson used both an energy rifle plus a grenade in a student match and both of those are illegal. If we stop this he will go to a Gongal Site and I assure you on that. I will escort him as he put the lives of students, faculty, and guests in danger."

Benjamin steps back as Carter while a teacher on contract is a Patroller and as such he holds the right to act out punishments for crimes. Looking around he sees how everyone students and beyond are glaring at him he turns and looks to the arena.

Luke looks up as Dante is now standing above him. "Ever see a real beast or even an animal in your life before?" Luke coughs and looks up as Dante holds an arm up "Come sibling!" The arena goes silent as a giant serpent forms up and as the body races down everyone is shocked by the sheer size as the head alone is most of Dante's height.

Luke is staring up in fear as Dante kicks him across the arena. Holding a hand up as the large snake lowers down and rubs a nose against his palm. "Last I remember sibling was you putting a hand on my nose. I am now somewhere new but as you have blood on you, who do I kill?"

Dante smiles walking forward as the new beast follows behind at Dante's pace with nearly no noise, some are really hoping this is a holo or something. Luke pushes up than backward as he is looking for an exit. Dante motions as the giant snake quickly circles the area before lifting its head to look down at Luke trapped in the ring he made. Dante smiles and leans back as he looks to Luke. "Who told you or shall I summon out more?"
