[WRESTLING] Asimona vs Zeus - Zeus - Mar 06 2018
Hearing his name from the judge announcing the next wrestling match pairs, Zeus lumbered into the ring on stocky legs. He’d immediately signed up when he had heard he could thwap other gembounds in the wrestling competition. It sounded like lots of fun. At the centre of the ring, he stopped and looked around at the audience with dull, beady red eyes. He didn’t care about being watched but he was looking for someone in particular. His brother, Fawkes. But no matter how hard he tried to look, the familiar white feathers were nowhere to be seen. His shoulders slumped. He’d lost his brother in the crowd. “Zeus find Fawkes,” the bear thought slowly. The bear was about to wander off when he heard cheering once more. He suddenly remembered he was in a wrestling match. He grunted. Finding his brother would have to wait. He’d thwap whatever was in his way and get to his brother. With a furious roar that bared a set of promising baby teeth, Zeus waited for his opponent to show themselves. He would thwap them real good.

RE: [WRESTLING] Asimona vs Zeus - Fawkes - Mar 06 2018
There was a crowd of gembounds surrounding him. Taller, bulkier gembounds that towered over Fawkes. The eagle fledgling was not big to begin with; nor could he yet fly over the crowd to get a good look at what was going on-- though he was certain that, soon enough, he would get there.
The bird paced back and forth, talons clicking on the cave floor. He weaved along the legs of other gembounds, trying not to touch them as he tried to get an adequate view of the match.
He could hear his brother's name being called over the crowd, along with another name he didn't know-- not that the second name particularly mattered to him, of course. His white headcrest lifted immediately and the baby eagle pushed through the crowd to the very front. "Go on, brother!" He called out as loudly as possible, waving soft, white wings around.
He threw in a few screeching, far-too-loud calls of encouragement, at first wordless, though he soon returned to shouting. "Thwap them! Do your best, dear brother! I know you can do it!"
Fawkes was confident that not only would Zeus thwap whoever his opponent was with the grace and eloquence of-- well, a bear cub, but also that he would win. For some time the baby eagle continued screeching and cheering before he finally settled down and fluffed up his own feathers, preparing to watch the ensuing spar.

Asimona padded forward, shivering. There were eyes on her, lots of eyes. So many eyes that it made her nervous. Sure, she loved being around others, but this was a little more then overwhelming. She had heard of the Olympics in passing conversation and had thought it would be fun to match herself against others, see how well she fought, without actually hurting anyone. She hadn't expected this kind of turnout.
But nonetheless, she stepped forward into the wrestling area. She found herself standing alone among the crowd, facing off against a bear cub not much smaller then her. Trying to ignore the overwhelming presence of the crowd, she smiled at him.
She crouched low, her claws kneading the stone. She needed to remember not to hurt him, but it would be hard with her huge talons. She took a deep breath to steady her heart, which was starting to race. Then a thought flashed into her head. What if the dragon showed up? What if he wreaked havoc just to get to her? Or...what if no one could see him? Would she have to continue the fight and pretend he wasn't there, even with his fearful presence?
No, she couldn't think about that. She had a task at hand. A task she had been waiting for. She pulled her thoughts back to the bear and the fight. She nodded at him.
Without further ado, she raced towards him, palms out, ready to knock him off his paws.
Round: 1/5
Attempt: knock the bear away

The bear watched in agitation as a strange silver creature larger than him stepped into the ring as his opponent. He didn’t particularly care who fought against him. The plan was the same. Just thwap and thwap and smash and bash his way through to make his brother proud and then… find his brother. Yes, he was anxious to find his brother again. "Hello! I'm Asimona. Your name is Zeus? It's nice to meet you." He merely grunted in reply. He didn’t care for niceties. He just wanted to get fighting. He dug his paws into the cave floor and prepared to charge the… whatever-it-was, head first. But that was when he heard it. A familiar voice, a familiar screech, piercing through the screaming crowd. "Go on, brother! Thwap them! Do your best, dear brother! I know you can do it!" His heart soared. His red eyes scanned the crowd again and this time, successfully found him. His brother was here! Watching him thwap! Fawkes was cheering him on, screeching and waving his white wings. Distracted, Zeus took a step towards him, a big, goofy grin on his muzzle. "Fight well." Something hit him across the shoulder and the force knocked him off his feet and sent the bear cub rolling. The sudden attack brought his distracted mind back to the game at hand. The thought of losing against this creature angered him. He would never! He couldn’t lose while his brother was watching! Using the momentum of the roll, the bear cub leapt back onto his sturdy paws. His shoulder felt sore and bruised, but there was no time to dwell on it. An angry snarl ripping from his throat, he charged forward to tackle the gembound and knock her down with his body weight head-on.

Asimona wasn't a huge fan of the bear's attitude. She just wanted a friendly, fun fight. But the bear seemed to be taking it way too seriously. She frowned as her palm smashed into the bear's shoulder. She was careful to keep her claws out of the way as she made contact. She jumped back a little bit to give the bear a moment to get up before he was charging at her.
She swung herself around, her huge tail aiming for the bear to knock him away before he managed to tackle her.

As he rushed in for the head-on tackle, Asimona swung herself around, aiming to knock him over with her tail. He saw it coming and tried to dodge, but his awkward gem claw got in the way of his gait, and he stumbled onto his side. As he fell, Zeus snapped his jaws, trying to catch her tail in his mouth. His baby teeth were not yet sharp, so even if he did successfully bite, he wouldn’t be able to draw blood. The worst he could do was bruise.

Defense: none
Injuries: bruised shoulder, slightly aching side
RE: [WRESTLING] Asimona vs Zeus - Asimona - Mar 07 2018
Her tail connected with the bear's side and knocked him off his feet. She heard the snap of his jaws as he tried to bite down on her tail, but it was out of the way before he could close down. As she whirled herself back around to face forward again, she had a sudden thought and threw out the wing facing the bear, trying to catch on him and throw him across the ring. However, she had timed it badly and as she propelled the wing, she lost her balance. With a cry, she staggered away and flopped on her side.

Attempt: knock the bear away with her wing

The dragon’s tail shifted out of the way before his jaws could snap it, and he fell heavily onto his side. The injuries were starting to hurt, his bruised shoulder and side aching. At this rate he was going to lose. He was going to make his brother upset. The thought of this made Zeus feel upset… And angry. Then he heard it first - a cry of despair from his opponent and then a crash as the dragon’s body hit the ground. Beady red eyes looked up and saw an opening, his enemy now clearly vulnerable. Feeling a burst of energy at this sudden turn of events, he lumbered back onto his paws and half-ran, half-staggered towards her. “Zeus maaaad!” With this roar, he raised himself on his hind legs and attempted to bring down the palm of his paws upon the dragon with force, to bruise her upper body as she had done to him.

As the bear loomed over her, Asimona's heart leaped. For a second, time seemed to stand still and the face of the red dragon glared over the beast's shoulders. She gasped as the darkness in his eyes began to flood towards her, filling her mind with the foggy fear.

"Whoa, that big guy seems to be taking this a little too seriously!"
The black and white seagull in the crowd waddled closer, and stared in awe. The huge, shaggy bear cub and the--
"IS THAT A DRAGON?" His magic welled up, his voice shriekingly, gratingly, seagully-loud over the din. "That huge scary bear-baby's fightin' that ACTUAL DRAGON! Oh hell! Who's gonna win?! Look at 'em go! He's all BAM and SWIPE and SHOVE and she--aww man the dragon fell down! OH NO she's up again and LOOK AT 'EM GOOOO!" he repeated, at absolute full volume.
He strutted back and forth, too excited to hold back. "You think she's scared?! I'd be scared, that bear cub's SAVAGE! He's BRUTAL! But then again she's a DRAGON! Look at her! Claws the size of CACTI! And probably just as fun to land on! Who's gonna win this?! What a FIGHT!"
