Midnight Stroll(OPEN)

[Mr Sinister]

Demetrius looked up as the balls of energy were formed, he smiled an didnt think the boy had it in him to create these. Before he struck him with the attack, for a brief moment he made eye contact with laharl, smiling an evil smile. The attack struck him, as the explosion emitted Demetrius shielded himself with his hands. A rather large ball of black smoke emitted from the explosion.

It was in this moment that Demtrius was to "test" out laharl. While inside the smoke he placed his hands together, an aura formed. He quickly made a pentagram and up arose a clone of Demetrius. He then whispered in his ear Have some fun with him, dont go too overboard, that is if you live with that said he made his escape. Of course not fleeing but watching in a dense shadowed area from afar.

That was some attack, this smoke is rather annoying though the clone said. He then acted quickly, he lifted up his hand and shot out a burst of wind(mega wind)
.It blew towards laharl and lifted up the smoke, making it seem like the real Demetrius was there.

[WAR]

Laharl nearly flinched. What was that..? He suddenly felt an evil aura around him... wh-what!? How did he survive his Wrath!? That should've vaporised him! Dammit! Wind!
"Gah!" He bit his lip, taking the blast without any notable damage, other than a few scratches. He smiled and pulled out the Cosmic Blade again. "Okay... so you're not some random idiot with a chip on his shoulder." He grinned. "This'll be fun, now, won't it!?" He let loos a loud yell and dashed towards Demetrius, closing the gape easily. He began by testing the waters with a heavy horizontal slash. Who was this guy..? There weren't too many people who could possibly take a hit like that without amy damage! That's crazy!

[Mr Sinister]

The clone acted quickly seeing laharl rush him like that, sword in hand and that. He pulled out his sword, holding it up blocking his attack, laharls sword struck hard with force. This is more like it! he said with a sinister grin, his face pretty close to laharls. Suddenly the clone ran his sword to the right side of his enemy's sword, past laharls weapon so that his sword struck his left arm on purpose. The clone flinched a little and the hard slash but could still use his arm. After all he was expendable.

He hoped to catch laharl in a surprised state, maybe throwing him off balance. With his left arm free from an attack he opened his hand and placed it towards the blue haired overlord. An intenese flame began to emit as it shot towards the demon. (Giga Fire)

[WAR]

Oh, no! Not this time! Laharl let go of his sword, dropping into a crouch, rolling over to the side, narrowly avoiding the beam of heat. He leaped back up, grabbing his Cosmic Blade by the tip with his right hand. He quickly switched to his left hand, leaping backwards away from the harsh heat. Hmm... so this guy knew a lot of magic, huh? He's not too bad with a sword, either... Laharl cliicked his tongue in annoyance. Okay, okay... it shouldn't be too difficult to take this guy down if he just finished it quick.

He switched hands again and readied his sword, sliding into a familiar stance.
"Eat this!" He yelled, as a huge burst of mana suddenly expelled Laharl at dizzying speeds towards Demetrius. "Blade Rush! he yelled, mustering all his strength to smash this fool to bits. Laharl left the floor and flipped once, adding more momentum to go against the expected resistance of this demon's sword.

[Mr Sinister]

The clone put up no resistance surprisingly, he did however try and move to the left. Laharl was too fast and made a crack on his shielded shoulder pad, a cut ran down his shoulder towards his stomach.

Blood trickled down as he laughed at laharl. You must have more that that...boy.Demetrius started to glow a bright red(Braveheart) and a dark black. A gust of wind emitted from the aura's. Ill show you a fraction of my power.

Meanwhile Demetrius found this amusing, he watched from the shadows. Observing the boys movement and attacks.

[WAR]

"Wh-whoaaa!" He yelled out, flying a good forty feet past past Demetrius. He managed to stick the landing, a shower of sparks emitting from the Cosmic Blade as he smashed it into the stone to slow his movement. "Rrr... I'll show you! I'm Overlord Laharl! No one's stronger than me!" He yelled, an angry scowl on his face. He ran back towards Demetrius, seeing only red. Suddenly, a huge burst of win blew past Demetrius. He turned, and fired past Demetrius several more times, a whirlwind beginning to form. Laharl's sword began to glow a pale, almost white luminescent blue. "BLOCK THIS!" He yelled, his voice warping into some sort of demonic lilt from the vacuum, and he finally gave one more dash directly at Demetrius, and with one final roar, he gave the mightiest uppercut he could possibly manage. There was no way he could get past his Hurrican Slash!

[Mr Sinister]

Demetrius looked upon as the demon boy became angry, a smile lifted across his face at the site. The clone however was mid air by now, laharl struck him with his sword hard. A gash was across his chest as he landed, as he came down once more the sword struck him from behind leaving a rather large diagonal cut along his back. The clone felt a sharp pain as he stood up, he could fix this though.

A green light shined around him, (mega heal). The damage seemed to fade away in due time. Strongest huh? he said with a smirk. Without another word he attacked laharl with a strong diagonal slash, his spell still in effect.

[Prince Shadow]

"So...This is the famous Lord Laharl." A voice sighed from afar. No one would possibly notice him, maybe if someone had an eye for cat ears and tail. "His techniques are...incredible." He had to admit, he hated seeing a lil kid being so much tougher than him. "I can't defeat him at this state, I must find an Overlord that will allow me to be there apprentince..An Overlord in Training..I hate that idea."[/I]

Shadow turned his head over to the other Overlord. "Who is that?..."[/I] Shadow folded his arms against his chest as his tail flickered boredly. "Hmmm..must be another unknown Overlord..."[/I] His cat ears twitched, picking up the mutters and whispers within the crowds. "Who will be the victor of this battle?..." All Shadow could do, is wait.

[WAR]

"RAAAAH!" He yelled, countering Demetrius's blow with a vicious strike of his own. His teeth grinded as he and Demetrius were at a stalemate, both swords creating sparks between the two. There's no way this bastard could last much longer with all the mana he's been wasting! He'd show him! He deliberately folded under Demetrius' strength, and side-stepped the coming strike.

He gave another vicious uppercut, aiming to cleave his arm off. He would not lose! He wouldn't allow it! He was the great Overlord Laharl, and he refused to allow himself to lose against some nobody who knew a couple of spells! "Go DOWN!" He yelled, letting loose his strike.

[Mr Sinister]

Ahahaha the clone laughed. The clone was wasting mana on pointless spells really, he did have a mind of his own however. Demetrius knew the clone was playing with him, he soon saw some blood fly to the floor. The clones left arm had been cut clean off, all he could do was laugh really. He knew he was expendable and decided to end it here.

The left arm was lifeless, but the clone persisted to fight. He ran at laharl with a mighty force, the blade was scraping the floor as he went creating sparks as he slashed upwards towards the overlords face.
