Description: Concert Catastrophe: The play consists of the angel(Jesen) and the devil(Balrog) joining forces in a pact to overthrow The Goddess(Athena). Unfortunately, such an epic battle resulted in all parties being slain. In other words, it was a Saturday Night Fight that took place in the Syndey Opera House. (Draw Match)
Balrog stands on the stage of the opera house, holding a rose in his hand. He watches the rose as he turns it about in his hand, inspecting its beauty. He raises it to his nose and takes a smell, smirking. Him /and/ Jesen, versus Athena? It's just not fair.
COMBATSYS: Balrog has started a fight here.

Balrog 0/-------/-------|
The Sydney Opera House is the most distinctive and famous 20th century buildings. This is where the artists would always come together to listen to the plays being made. This is perhaps a nice show for the opera.
It's a garguatuan atmosphere, considering the wide space enough to fit over a thousand people inside. Peach-brownish color is what pervades the room, tube shaped crystal glasses are along the ceiling along with seveal lights. Surrounding the arc is no more than a lot of chairs for the Auditorium Stalls. The Royal Box U side has a large amont of people setting nearby, passing through the entry and exit for snacks and so on. Looks like to them, this will be an art.
Truthfully, the chairs consists of not only the rich and lofty, but the regular folks that would want to see a fight. It's no surprise that they are quite rowdy as far as the atmosphere is concerned. While the placid stage is set, the announcement is echoing in the air.
"The title of this is Concert Catastrophe. The tale of an angel and devil making a pact against the goddess that has ruled over the heavens. The angel, feeling that a better hand should rule the heavens, sought the demon for help, as the goddess did not satisfy the angel's view.
While Balrog is already in the stage, Jesen is soon walking to the middle of the stage slowly. The lights are dimming towards the stage. Upon the very stage, sparkles are fluttering towards the ground, manifesting into glowing feathers. While those feathers fall like cherry blossoms, the small angel is tilting his head curiously at Balrog. The expression is more of: 'A play...?' He beams a moment later.
The boy, however, turns to face the crowd, offering a cheerful smile. The innocent boy shuts his eyes, allowing for his aura to stir into life. His aura radiates a black and white aura, which shapes into those giant wings, encompassing his body briefly as both hands hold out to his front. Then, he brings his hands down, the 'wings' changing back into his aura.
"...The goddess shall be slain in order for a new god to take her place." He beams. He may as well play his part.
The Sydney Opera House is certainly an unusual place to stage a fight; but it seems the proper precautions have been taken in order to protect this distinctive building from any damage. Watching the camera crews set up, Athena muses that perhaps there was some arrangement made between the Saturday Night Fight coordinators and the administration of the opera house in order to boost the publicity of both. --not that either would -need- the publicity, mind, given the fame of both.
Whatever the case, venues of performance are hardly places that are foreign to her. The polished wood of the stage and the resonance peculiar to a concert hall is as natural to Athena as the living room of her own home.
She steps up opposite her slated opponents, punctual as always, a guileless smile crossing her face as her first greeting. Dressed as per usual in a short tank top and a skirt, she probably doesn't look like much to either; but then, her reputation almost certainly precedes her. "How unusual!" is her bemused comment on the entire setup of the thing, ruffling a hand through her violet hair as she inspects the special effects. "I wonder who thought this one up..."
Maybe it's the inevitable consequence of staging a fight at one of the centers of the art world. Whatever the case, she might as well play along. Her arms unfolding, she drops into a combative stance. I don't have a script or anything-- but I guess this is where I say I'll stop you..."

Balrog looks sidelong at Jesen, smirking at him. He then looks at Athena as she enters, tossing the rose in her direction. "Darling Athena! It is good to see you again! I have not forgotte what happened last time we met! And this time, you shall pay!" He snaps into a fighting stance, and rolls forward, to get in close. He pops back up to his feet, and jabs at her with his claw. He aims for her neck, hoping to bleed her out.
It does not take the boy long to recognize the opponent. The violet haired girl is observed carefully. In one sense, the boy can feel some sort of energy. This is perhaps a strange, but pleasant thing. The boy of the evil Psycho Power smiles. "I am afraid your time is short, goddess." It's interesting how the boy doesn't give off an angry look.
Tilting his head over at Balrog in the most curious way, the boy gives off a cheerful smile. Although, the boy blinks with a curious look at the attempt to make her bleed. He merely smiles once more.
"A hand is needed for the demon... the pact is made, but both share the vision of a new god needing to be in place."
~ This is fun. So exciting and invigorating. ~
Covered with the black and white aura spiraling along each other, the boy immediately reaches a hand out, lashing the hand backwards to shoot forth a steaming flash of energy. A shockwave is created, digging through the earth as it sails straight towards Athena's direction while Balrog moves in for the cut.

Oh my, someone remembers her. Mild dismay flickers briefly in Athena's expression as she attempts to recall what her last encounter with this man might have been-- or when it had been, for that matter-- but her train of thought is rather handily interrupted when he kicks off immediately into an attack straight at her throat.
She falls back slightly, arms scissoring before her neck to guard that vital area. But as she does so, she forfeits her chance to dodge Jesen's own attack. The shockwave slams into her, and she stumbles sideways a few paces.
Quickly, she regains her balance. Psycho Power flickers along her arms as she gathers energy, firing a ball of psychic force at the closest target: Balrog.

Balrog gets struck in the chest by the ball of force, getting knocked off his feet. He quickly rolls back up to a standing position, his left hand touching his sizzling chest. He knows that feeling. That's not chi. He growls, a snarl hidden beneath his mask, before he moves forward again, then leaping into the air. He lands behind Athena and spins about, aiming a quick poke of his claw at her back. Sandwich her - then she's screwed.
Now, that is actually what catches Jesen's attention. There is a prominant action that she just made to catch the Innocent Doll's attention. That attractive feature: The Psycho Power. It's not what truly makes her attractive, but the feature is something to catch the curious boy's attention. Watching it's manifestation, he watches the sphere collide against Balrog.
He can see the result of that strike, and then he shuts his eyes. He better do his part against the girl now. He's going to need help, after all. So Jesen, running in while Balrog moves towards her from behind, the boy is hurrying along his rush towards Athena in order to distract her enough.
The martial artist takes a leap off of the ground, the glasses still remaining on somehow. The youth descends to the ground and he swings his left hand out, twisting the hand over with a palm. While in motion, the aura swirls along his hand, drawing out to lash at Athena while the boy then thrusts this right leg out to give off an underbladed heel-strike at her angle, then he swings the left leg out to thrust it against her stomach. All along the strikes, his resonating energy illuminates along the foot, glittering black and white feathers kicking off in the air.

The thing about coming at a person from both the front and back-- is that there are still many directions in which the target can move. In this case, Athena opts to leap straight to the right in order to avoid those pincering attacks: landing on her hands and springing to flip back up to her feet.
She doesn't stay standing there for long. Jesen wants to see more of her psychic capabilities-- many people have shown interest in them over the course of her life, and not always for benign reasons-- and he'll be shown them. She leaps right back at him, achieving some considerable height in her jump, and then hangs at the apex of that arc for a moment. Red energy ignites along her frame, concealing it from sight: and then she arrows directly at Jesen.
Balrog smirks beneath his mask. He loves jumpers. He dashes along the ground after Athena, before springing into the air. As she nears Jesen, he leaps after her, attempting to grab her about the waist. He if he can a grip, he takes her for a short ride, before tossing her downwards, to the ground. "Dear Athena...Today is your unlucky day..."

This is perhaps a demonstration that had interest the boy in the longest time. Somehow, her ability to summon up the energy is not just fascinating to the boy, it's how it is utilized. As she arcs up into the air and immediately comes down, the boy shuts his eyes and allows her to jump forward. At that, the boy jumps up himself to meet with the young woman himself. That bright smile doesn't escape from Jesen as she immediately crashes into him.
In that second, it feels as if time itself stopped. Closed in at her distance, the boy can feel the resonation of power filling him.
~ So this is her power. That's interesting. ~
Her utters underneath his breath, enough for her to hear.
'Thank you.'
But next, he immediately thrusts his body backwards, immediately swinging his right leg up against the air, allowing the aura to blast forth while he swings the leg out for a backflip kick. Upon the kick are feathers kicking off.

Jesen 1/---====/=======|
She's startled at Jesen's reaction to her attack. The boy didn't even attempt to dodge or guard against her Phoenix Arrow-- instead, simply leaping straight into the brunt of the force. She doesn't particularly understand why-- not even when he whispers his thanks to her, a phrase that makes her lips part in an unvoiced query-- but she can make several guesses. Among them is 'he's setting up for another attack right after this'; and in that vein, she doesn't let her psychic power subside quite yet. That anticipation of attack soon proves to be wise.
She reacts quickly as that aura bolts towards her. Her hands thrust outwards, her red Psycho Power concentrating between them in the shape of a shield. That shield deflects the attack just in time, the energy coming within inches of her face-- but whatever relief she might feel is shortlived.
In this time Balrog has managed to snare her about the waist, abruptly knocking her out of her path in the air. The breath kicks out of her in a startled gasp, but she has the presence of mind to protect herself with that lingering psychic force as he slings her towards the ground. The remnants of her shield take the brunt of her reintroduction to the ground, and she rolls quickly back to her feet: away from her two opponents.
Balrog drops to the ground, and tosses his head, a few stray locks of blond hair moving from his eyes, as his long ponytail wags about behind him. He takes a look at Jesen. That must have hurt. No matter. He doesn't need the Angel Doll in this fight. Himself is enough. He begins circling Athena slowly, waiting for the moment to attack. In the meantime, he jabs at her with his claw again, probing her defenses.
As the barrier is actually summoned, Jesen can feel the flow of his aura going haywire. Once that foot collides with the barrier, the angel is flung off from even impacting against her, his entire body is blasted straight towards the ground. Such a painful turn taken, the boy lands straight onto his back.
Searing from the aura's sensation, the boy feels a bit weaken. But it doesn't take long for the boy to slowly get back up to his feet. But as he's getting up...
The boy utters, "We cannot give up. The goddess must be overthrown in order for the new god to take her place. May this song empower us and weaken the goddess." He shuts his eyes, smiling as he brings his hands together. This -is- an opera, right? Well, the boy is going to sing.
It's a hymn.
o/` Tway Ray Zway Kro Ryo Tway Zway... o/`
The song makes a resonation across the stage, not even requiring a microphone to transmit around him. The boy's aura is startng to become reborn, expanding off to form a pair of giant wings as the child arches his back.
o/` Kro Ryo Zway Tway Ryo Ray N'way Ryo Zway... o/`
Swirling along his body now, the wings cover along him until they finally shape into a black and white spiraling sphere to encompass his entire body. Now shielded, the boy smiles while he awaits for the 'shield' to close in on him, slowly offering a mend of his beaten state. The glasses offer a glint of light as he lifts his hands into the air.
o/` Vah Ray Zway Tway N'way Tway Ryo Tway Kro.... o/`
His eyes open as he is slowly looking less exhausted, gazing out towards Athena and Balrog, the yellow eyes illuminating through his glasses as he finally recollects himself.
o/` Ryo Ray Kro Ryo Zway Ray Vah Zway Ray.... o/`
He's ready.

Athena shakes her head once to clear it, her violet hair rustling about her shoulders. Out of the corner of her eye, she notices the display Jesen is putting on-- but at the moment, her concentration fixes upon Balrog, whose slow circles suggest an incoming attack. She watches him carefully-- and when his attack comes, she skirts aside from it. Her dodge takes her close to Jesen.
She knows it's likely he's preparing for something; and there's something a little off about that energy she can sense from him. It makes her uneasy, whatever it might be: 'evil Psycho Power,' indeed. She turns, closes with him with a rapid agility, and aims a strike directly for him: a palmstrike directed at his chest.
Balrog does a quick backflip as his blow is blocked. He drops the fingers of his left hand to the ground, hissing under his breath at Athena. This is beginning to become annoying. Jesen is almost down, and this bitch is still going. He suddenly springs into the air, his claw drawing back at the apex of his leap. As he comes down, his claw slashes out, right at Athena's back. "HYA!" he cries, his voice sharply punctuating the move.

It is actually amazing that Jesen is still up. While trying to channel forth his energy, Jesen's aura is actually... -disappearing-. The flowing aura that the boy has actually disappears from the entire body. Digging deep into that energy pool, the Psycho Power is actually transferring all the way to the point to where it looks like he does not even have that aura anymore.
He smiles, awaiting for Athena to come towards him with her aura extending out at his direction. The boy immediately reaches his right hand out, trying to place the hand upon her shoulder with a gentle smile. It is quite unfortunate that the palm strikes his chest, nearly knocking the wind out of Jesen to where he stumbles back. That concentration is lost, and he falls on his butt, the aura burning profusely around his body is alive once more.

In striking out at Jesen, Athena has to take her eyes off Balrog. And soon enough, the penalty for that inattention becomes clear with the sudden sear of pain down her back. She jerks away from the blow, her back flayed and blood soaking down into her clothes. That stain will be difficult to get out-- but the pain itself isn't anything she hasn't felt before. She's taken the claws of Iori, after all.
with a grimace, she turns around as Jesen falls back: whipping a punch upwards, straight at the descending Spaniard.

Balrog takes the strike to the stomach as he falls, grunting and getting knocked backwards. He lands and somersaults back, coming to his feet. He shakes his head back and forth, as his left hand clenches his stomach. He growls at Athena, and puts his guard up, readying himself for the next attack. "Strike me if you /dare/..." he hisses, snarling at his foe.
Both eyes shut. Jesen starts to gather his will once more. As the eyes widen to see Balrog not handling himself so well, the young boy decides to take his action once more. He steps up towards the stage, offering a stare towards Athena. "The goddess from the heavens, you have reign control for too long. I will not let you take hold of the heavens anymore!" The boy brings his hands together, cupping them.
Along the space comes forth a bright sphere, slowly illuminating to life, Jesen's sphere is glowing once more, then the boy re-opens his eyes. "Here is a food for thought." He smiles, tossing the sphere into the air. It's a small sphere, nothing to worry about so much. That sphere is slowly ascending to the sky.
"Manna from Heaven."
....But that -small- sphere creates a large gateway as the reality ripples apart to start shooting around a beam of light that's thicker than the sphere itself. The beams are blasting towards the the ground. It strikes the left, the right, and down towards Athena.

A glance is spared Balrog as he readies himself some distance away, but any reply she might have made to him is cut off when Jesen goes back on the offensive. She attempts to predict the trajectory of the beams in order to dodge past them towards Jesen, but one miscalculation is all it takes to disrupt her and ensure that the majority of those attacks strike. Wincing, she continues onward nonetheless: though her pace is somewhat slowed.
Once close enough, she leaves the ground in a leap to help put impetus behind her strike: a direct punch for the boy's solar plexus.
Balrog approaches Athena from behind as she attacks Jesen. Now that she's distracted, this is the perfect opportunity for an attack. His claw jabs at her back, aimed at her spine. If he's lucky, maybe he can get a swift strike between her vertabrae, ending this fight - and her career. His claw is swift, flashing through the air as Balrog and Jesen sandwich Athena again.

While Athena takes off of the ground, Jesen waits for his chance to strike. It's a measure of rhythm, after all. The boy is immediately tilting his head over, just waiting for the chance to actually strike the woman as she gains some sort of momentum in on him. It is why Jesen is adopting a stance. His right leg steps forward, both hands aiming to give her a recoil in position to keep the fist from string him.
The swell of energy rests on his palms as he aims to pierce it right at the chest of the woman. Unfortately, Jesen is eating a fist towards the solar plex, and he collapses against the ground.
To the crowd, the boy says, "Ahh... the goddess has slain me. I am afraid my goal to see a new god... is no more." Dramatically, he shuts his eyes.

As Jesen crumples, Athena again seems about to say something. Perhaps to play along with this entire little 'act,' perhaps to compliment him for doing well. But there never is time to say much of anything in these two-on-one spars; the moment you turn towards one combatant, the other will sneak up to attempt to knife you right in the spine. Or claw you, as the case may be.
Some preternatural sense warns her of that incoming attack, and her jaw snaps shut on whatever words she might have had. Whirling, she brings an arm sheathed in energy up in a bid to deflect that strike; however, the 'shield' is thin by virtue of her limited time to erect it, and his claw still lacerates along her arm. The sting of that injury compounds with the sharp smarting of the open wounds on her back, and she realizes that this fighter is deadly serious about his strikes. Those attacks were intended to cripple-- if not kill. And Athena has no particular desire to be either.
It's dangerous to drag out this fight-- but Athena herself won't adopt a killing mindset. Few of her attacks are even capable of killing or letting blood for a reason. She's designed them to knock out opposition-- to take out their ability to fight-- without dipping into the lethality that others seem to espouse. The attack she retaliates with is one of those.
She tries to get in close this time with a rapid teleport, rather than back away: and a lick of red energy sparks about her as she reappears, forming into an aura. A whirling set of small projectiles surges around her, aiming to strike and blast back whatever they touch.

Balrog's eyes widen. Those crystals are coming fast. He's struck in the chest, the crystals lacerating his body as he's sent flying backwards. He falls upon his back, not moving for several moments, as he bleeds. Slowly, he pushes himself back to his feet. Then, he turns to face the crowd, with a flourish of his left hand. "Behold!" He turns back towards Athena, and rushes forward, his body blurring. His claw aims to stab Athena right in the chest, before tossing her up in the air. If she goes airborne, he sets his feet apart and points his claw straight up in the air - right towards his falling foe.

That's always the risky part of Shining Crystal Bit: getting in close, a tactic she usually tries to eschew. And though Balrog gives her a few moments to react due to taking some time to play to the crowd, she's still unprepared to avoid it when he moves in. He's quick-- and in this instance, quicker than she is. She's a fragile sort, and by this time she's fairly exhausted.
His claw enters her chest cleanly, missing vitals only by chance: the subsequent flip upwards wrenches an actual cry out of her, the reaction delayed primarily by surprise. When she comes down again, it's on his impaling claw. It enters her chest again hard, and this time she hasn't the breath to even make a noise. Blood courses profusely down Balrog's upraised arm, unspooling rapidly from the wounds in her chest.
Her hands grasp along the arm impaling her: and then push hard, with a surprising resurgence of strength. With a flex of her body, Athena forces herself off that claw and back into the air by virtue of will and the last remnants of her psychic power: and then, once again fully wreathed in that blazing red energy, she comes straight back at Balrog with a series of Phoenix Arrows: firing the remainder of her Psycho Power in that attack.

Balrog pulls his claw away, his arm covered in blood. He begins laughing like a hyena, lifting his mask so he can lick the blood off his claw. Delicious. He blinks, turning his head towards Athena. She's still alive? Impossible! The Phoenix Arrows strike him, sending him flying backwards. He hits the ground, not moving. He's out like a light.
As all three fighters have managed to defeat each other, the announcer ab-libs, "And so, the angel and the demon fought bravely against the goddess. Because the angel was injust, the goddess was able to easily slay the angel before her power, but the demon was able to overcome her. Not wanting to let the demon take over, she slew the demon with the last bit of her energy."
His tone undertakes a sad turn, "As the demon was slain, the goddess fell. The goddess's death was mourned, and a new god would take her place as the ruler of the heavens."
The lights dim.
Everyone applauds the show.
