Atlas was pretty sure that the abilities she'd inherited from her mother didn't involve transformation, and something like this required years of specific training and magic, neither of which she'd learned yet. But Wolfie was counting on her to be even a tiny bit as awesome as him so she had to try! With her eyes screwed shut, she focused and focused, and strained audibly, and... Well, she managed to fold her ears in a bit tighter. That would do!

“That will do. We can work on that more at a later point. Ok Zadia. Inform them that you are ready to compete. We will be training until you tell us a date.” wolfie said. Zadia nodded in agreement looking quite excited. “Feel free to use my personal training room. Here’s the keys to my home. Im assuming you remember where it is?” Zadia said as she tossed the keys. “I do not forget things. We shall see you later. Lets go Atlas.” Wolfie said as he waited for her to grab onto him.

"Wee!" Atlas squealed, doing a little spin and then leaping on Wolfie's back. "Let's go!" She jokingly nudged his sides to get him to giddy up like a horse, knowing that he definitely wouldn't play along with it but being too excited to care.

Wolfie sighed as he started walking. He certainly wasnt going to act like a horse, but he would lead them to where they needed to go. Zadia giggled as she watched them leave. How cute. Wolfie led them out of a building and into the air towards another big building. They landed on the roof and went inside to find a very beautiful home. Zadia lived in style. "Lets train then rest. Im sure tomorrow is going to be an annoyingly long day." Wolfie said. (we can skip XD)

"I love annoyingly long days," Atlas teased. And then they started to train. The date of the battle was not for at least another week, so they had a lot of time to train together. Atlas didn't like hurting others, but she had a natural affinity for fighting styles that incorporated her abilities. What she found more difficult was adopting Zadia's mannerisms to pull off a more successful impersonation of her. Zadia's tight, heavy clothes were also difficult for Atlas to move around in compared to her usual, light and loose clothes. But soon, the time had come for them to battle.

Just so he wouldnt be recognized, wolfie also donned a suit of armor He looked pretty badass as he and Atlas had Zadia sneak them into the arena undetected. While the announcements and everything were being done, Zadia made an appearance then she came into the warriors waiting room. "Ok its all set. You two will fight a gauntlet of the queens elite warriors just to show that I and my champion arent pushovers. Then the grand wizard and the champion will make an appparance. Im sue I dont have to tell you Atlas, but Wolfie, try to make it seem like you arent extremely strong. Otherwise I might be accused of cheating." Zadia said. She was cheating, but Wolfie wouldnt say anything. He was already in character.

"Eh heh," Atlas laughed a little nervously, scratching the back of her head. She didn't have to tell her not to be extremely strong? Oh okay, so Zadia thought Atlas was weak. Well, whatever, Atlas was probably going to be fighting all out and she would only just make it. "Time to get in character," she mumbled, putting on Zadia's helmet and standing up straighter, with her legs slightly apart, like Zadia did.

Atlas might have misinterpreted what Zadia meant, but at this point it didnt matter. It was time. They headed out to the stadium and were greeted with the sounds of loud applause and excitement. The two of them couldnt see the champion and the grand wizard yet, but the voice of a powerful sounding woman came on. "It is time ladies and gentlemen for Zadia, the powerful sword fighting wizard, and her champion, a man of many mysteries to take on the arena. If they can survive this mighty gauntlet then they will face off with me your might champion! Should they win they will be your rulers, for only the strong may lead isnt that right?" She shouted and everyone got incredibly hyped. Ugh what an annoying person, Wolfie thought.

"Okay, focus," Atlas was whispering to herself. "You can do this. Just.. Think of it like a pen." When she'd expressed concern with having to fight with a sword, Zadia told her to imagine it like a giant pen. The pen being mightier than the sword after all. "A pen. A giant pen. A giant, sharp, lethal pen." Slowly she drew out her sword and held it up to the sky. Zadia told her to do it. She was grandiose like that.

the crowd roared when Atlas did that, which signified that they were ready to duel. Wolfie wanted to give Atlas some last minute advice, but he didnt want to interrupt her focus so he kept quiet. They would get through this easily. "Alright, time for the first round!" The champion said as from the opposite side of the ring out walked 4 very powerful looking bug armored warriors. Wolfie held his hand up, indicating that he would be the first to participate. He needed to judge how tough these fights would be for Atlas after all. "ooh looks like the mysterious champion wishes to test his strength first! Very well lets start!" The champion said as the warriors began to approach Wolfie.

Atlas would have really appreciated words of courage from Wolfie, but as he stepped up first, she would give him her own words. "You got this," she whispered to him. Of course he would dominate in any fight, these scary metal bug things were nothing to Wolfie, but Atlas... Maybe not.
Re: Beyond Space & Time
Sat Jun 02, 2018 4:20 am
Wolfie nodded as he walked forward and the bugs surrounded him. Wolfie would have to focus on not using his godly power too much in order to not stand out. They started to chuckle, thinking they would win easily since they were so much bigger, but one launched a punch at Wolfie and he grabbed it. The crowd was in awe as Wolfie flipped the warrior on top of another and kicked him across the stage. The others backed up and then jumped at him all at once, and Wolfie dodged and then smashed into them and they went barreling away. "Whoa...looks like this guy isnt all talk!" The champion said as the crowd cheered.

Atlas winced slightly, but then remembered. The universe was big and cruel. It was okay to hurt people, sometimes. And even if she refused to kill people, Wolfie didn't. Besides, he did look really awesome right now. She tried to remain composed as Zadia but her heart was pounding.
Re: Beyond Space & Time
Sat Jun 02, 2018 4:47 am
Wolfie remembered how Atlas was not fond of killing, so he held back enough to simply break a few of the their bones and knock them out. They wouldnt die...probably. He finished the other ones off and the crowd cheered. Seems they were digging wolfie. He returned to Atlas's side as the next round was starting. "On to round 2! This gladiator specifically asked to fight Zadia. Seems he wants to prove that his claws are better than her sword. Will that prove true? Lets find out!" The champion said as another gladiator came out from a room. Seems everyone on this planet wore armor, because he was also clad in armor from head to toe. "Let this battle be one for the ages Zadia." The warrior said as they walked up ready to fight. "You can win this atlas. Just focus." Wolfie said in her mind.

"Outta my head," Atlas hissed out loud, resisting the urge to shake her head to clear his voice. He also knew she was uncomfortable with the whole telepathy thing. Her mind was not a place she wanted Wolfie to see... Especially now, when she was utterly terrified. Keeping up this facade was exhausting and she'd not even begun to fight yet. Beneath her clothing, she felt something warm and soothing against her wrist. It felt like... Aurora. Ever calm and brave in the face of horror. Aurora also used to be a surprisingly good actress. Taking a deep breath, Atlas let Aurora guide her, channelled Zadia, and began to stride forward with her sword at her side.

He had informed her it was simply a message, not him rooting around in her mind, but he simply just sighed and let it go. The gladiator was ready as the round started. He heard Zadia was a master at counter attacks, so he would wait and see what she did. That was the only way he could see himself winning.

Atlas also knew that Zadia's speciality was counter-attacks, so she would wait for the other guy to make the first move. So she waited... And waited. Wow. This was getting awkward.
Re: Beyond Space & Time
Sat Jun 02, 2018 5:36 am
It looked like she wasnt budging. Heh, that was smart. guess he would have to start after all. The gladiator would have to just work against the counters using his skills. He suddenly burst towards Atlas with its claws outstretched.

"Meep!" Atlas squeaked a little and dodged sideways. Oh wait, parry, parry! She swung the sword up at the same time and somehow it connected with the gladiator's claws. Okay. Okay! She could maybe do this! Her body was already moving so the parry sent the gladiator spinning off to the other side.
Re: Beyond Space & Time
Sat Jun 02, 2018 6:13 am
The gladiator was indeed surprised by her strength as he was sent flying to the side. He managed to recover and barely managed to keep his balance. Her counters were dangerous. He decided to try to throw a feint as he rushed her but didnt attack, just to see what she would do.

Zadia's voice came into her head then, loud and clear as day, almost as if someone was projecting it into her brain... "Not all attacks are real attacks. Don't waste your energy dodging and parrying feints." They'd practised a lot with attacks and feints, and now Atlas felt fairly confident that this was a feint! So she just took a small step to the side, holding her sword up in front of her with her other hand behind her back.
Re: Beyond Space & Time
Sat Jun 02, 2018 6:33 am
She seemed to catch onto his feint, so the gladiator decided to actually turn it into an attack. He'd put all his body weight into it so there was no way she could dodge!

Well, guess all of Atlas' self confidence was misplaced and she was a fool. The gladiator slammed into her, and she was only just able to hold the sword up to stop herself being impaled. She reacted on instinct, or perhaps it was someone else's instinct, and flipped backwards, throwing the gladiator over her head and doing a back flip. Since when could she do that?!
Re: Beyond Space & Time
Sat Jun 02, 2018 7:01 am
She clearly used more power than she intended because she redirected most of his own strength back at him and sent him flying backwards into a wall. He fell down on the ground, unconscious. "Amazing!! An easy victory! As one would expect from Zadia!!" The champion said as the crowd roared.

"Huh?" Atlas squeaked again as she stood up and looked around. Had she just...? Oh! Atlas very calmly bowed to her unconscious opponent and went to stand next to Wolfie. Only he could hear her excited whispers. "Did I look awesome?" she asked him. "Did I really win? Did I look super awesome? I didn't even waste any energy, are you sure I just won that? I'm not dreaming?"
