The whole illusion vanished, Zane finding himself back in the arena.
"You're fun."
Bedlam said, his voice sounding like it were coming from every direction. He was now crouched behind cover, having used the distraction of the illusion to sneak away.

-
[i]Zane raised his eyebrow in confusion. Lightning wasn't red, and if it was actual lightning it would have triggered the explosive compound laced onto his opponents back. He raised his MP7 and fired, sending a 5 round burst of hollow point rounds at Bedlam.[/i]
-
Bedlam seemed to phase out of reality for a second before reappearing directly in front of Zane, Zane's sword just inches from his face.
-
[i]Instead of attacking with his blade, he chose to leap over bedlam and fire at his back. If the bullets landed, it would not only tear into his body but trigger the explosive compound that was laced into his opponents wound.[/i]

Edited by Stitch: 12/18/2017 5:07:55 AMUpon seeing Zane attempt jumping over him, Bedlam formed a red hard light barrier directly above Zane, waiting for him to crash into it. "Really?"
-
[i]The bullets bounced off the barrier, and so did Zane. He rolled into the floor, raising his Gunblade as he chuckled.[/i] "What, it was worth a shot."
-
"Eh, I guess." Bedlam turned to face Zane again, arms in front of him in the shape of an 'x' over his chest. "This has been going on for a while now..."
-
[i]Zane put away his MP7, replacing it with his buster sword. His two blades hovered just off the ground as he kept his grip lose.[/i] "Indeed, we should probably wrap this up. Don't want either of us to move on from a disqualification."
-
"Nah, that'd be boring. If I lose I want to be stabbed or shot or something, not judged out." Bedlam began walking towards Zane, arms staying in their position.
-
[spoiler]well okay if I say so babe[/spoiler]
-
[i]Zane flipped his blades as he walked forward, his blades humming softly as they seemed to cut through the very air itself.[/i] "Indeed. If I lose, I want to be because my opponent outplayed me."
-
"Me too..." Bedlam just kept walking toward Zane, getting as close as Zane would let him before attacking.
-
[i]Zane continued to twirl his blades, the humming getting louder and louder with each swing.[/i] "Well then, let's end this. You were a fine opponent, and you have earned my respect. May the best man win." [i]He raises his twin blades and pointed them at Bedlam, as if he was saluting him with the Warriors way.[/i]
-
"This was fun. We should do this again sometime." Bedlam gave a little bow in response to Zane's gesture.
-
"Oh for sure, I think my kids would enjoy sparring with you. Take a load off of my back huh?" [i]He spun his blades one last time before gripping them tightly. It appeared that he was ready to end this.[/i]
-
Bedlam sighed. "You know I'm not stalling or anything, right? Are you trying to stall or something? I feel like this is taking way too long."
-
"Eh you know how the final battle in a video game goes. The two clashing warriors banter on for a bit before running at each other screaming their lungs out."
-
"I feel like they usually do banter a bit back and forth, yeah....Alright, so how mad do you think the judges will be at us wasting all this time?""
-
"Shit, they might just DQ us both....We really should stop talking and end this before they feed us to the Sharks."
-
"You think they'd feed us to the sharks? Huh. Doesn't sound like too much fun." More red electricity crackled around Bedlam's arms.
-
"Indeed." [i]Zane suddenly aimed his Gunblade at Bedlam, firing off two quick hollow point rounds.[/i]
-
Bedlam suddenly did another faze out of reality. Surprisingly, he appeared right on top of the gun blade, the sword was now stuck through his midsection as he immediatley formed a knife in each hand while bringing his crossed arms together. The knives were aimed at Zane's neck and Bedlam was only inches away from Zane's face, giving very little time to react.
-
[i]Given that bedlam had pierced himself into the gunblade, he unknowingly coated himself with the explosive compound that resided under the blade. As Bedlams arms were coming down he pulled the trigger, a .357 hollow point round going clean through his opponents back and triggering the explosive compound in both his midsection and back. This action cause the two fighters to be sent flying in opposite directions, Zane gunblade ripping clean out of his opponent [/i]
-
With the trigger pull, Bedlam had enough time to swing with his knives, cleaving through Zane's neck before being blown back. With large parts of his body missing and a hole through his midsection, Bedlam coughed up blood and laid motionless for a moment.
-
[i]The blades tore through the graphite lining, slicing into the side of his neck and causing him to bleed. Blood stared to drip from his mouth as he moved forward, his two blades dragging along the ground. When he was about 10 feet from bedlam he raised his gunblade and aimed for his skull, firing off another, and hopefully final shot.[/i]

Edited by Stitch: 12/18/2017 10:46:33 PM[i]Explosions, chaotic and violent chemical reactions...just enough for a final effort.[/i] Bedlam raised a shield of red light with an arm and a pain filled groan, the shield cracking from taking the shot before Bedlam made a finger gun with his other hand and "fired" at Zane. An electric shock fired at Zane's neck, igniting the same substance Zane had on his own blade. If Bedlam wasn't on the brink of death he'd probably had said a one-liner, but sadly he was a bit choked up on his own blood.
