Time for our first match which also means time to spin the wheel of shiny sparkly death settings!
And the wheel is spinning and has chosen... A graveyard... That... Seems a little tilted towards the candidate who is literally the horseman of Death, but hey it is not for us to judge the wisdom of a spinning wheel.
Both contestants appear in the graveyard. The Ace of Chaos smiles at Hera and speaks.
"I'm not one to harm a pretty girl if I can help it. The last beautiful woman to try and kill me ended up having my children."
Hera looks confused, "Did... Did you just suggest I'm going to have your child?"
"What! No! Not at all! I just meant..." he paused and formed a sword out of chaos magic, "Nevermind"
"You realize how creepy that was right?" Hera states as she raises her scythe and begins attempting to lower the temperature around them. A light fog starting to form from the sudden temperature drop.
"Yeah I realized it. I guess I'm not really used to trying to be charming and cool when the person I'm fighting is... What? 19? 20?" he states as chaos halos begin to float around him.
"21... What are you like 50?" she responds as she glances around her at the graves,
"Much older than that," he responds and launches one of the halos at her.
She hits it with her scythe and it despawns as ghosts start to rise out of the graves behind The Ace, "That actually makes it way worse,"
"Look can we just pretend that never happened. I'm actually usually really smooth about stuff like this," he states and then without turning around slashes his chaos made sword through a bunch of the ghosts who were sneaking up on him and launches a few more halos at Hera. Hera tosses icicles at the incoming Halos, but as the last halo is hit an energy blast launches past them and Hera barely manages to dodge out of the way, as she lands The Ace of Chaos has moved and swings his sword at her legs. She instinctively tries to dodge, but in her current position she only manages to trip herself and falls on the ground using her scythe to block a second slash from The Ace with a second created sword. The Ace summons more halos as he continues to attack her as she's on the ground. She barely fends off his attacks with her scythe and deflects the halos enough that they merely graze her as they embed into the soft earth around her. She's in a bad situation and she knows it. She whistles loudly and The Ace is distracted by the sound of approaching hooves and dives out of the way as Hera's horse comes rushing towards them. As he dodges away she grabs her horse and pulls herself off the ground and onto the horse as it runs past.
The Ace launches a few blasts after the horse, but the horse manages to dodge and turns around Hera raising her scythe as the horse starts barreling towards The Ace again. He readies to dodge, but the cold is getting to him now. His muscles are straining to move in the cold and he changes his mind. He banishes the two swords and starts to create something else. Hera reaches him and slashes the scythe down just as The Ace finishes creating his new weapon and strikes upwards. Hera's horse continues past trampling Ace into the ground. Ace groans, battered, but alive and as The horse stops Hera slumps down and slips off the horse onto the ground. The spear The Ace had created protruding from her chest.
"It really is a shame to kill such a young woman... Good thing these tournaments aren't canon," The Ace groans looking at the spot on his arm where Hera's last strike seems to have nicked him.
It seems The Ace has won and will be going on to the next phase!
The Ace has won the fight
