King of Fighters(Kirahutner and Kihia Avoa) Fire and Ice vs Everything Else

Simon didn't know what to think of the flying ice disk weapon but he did his best to act excited about it. Apparently Kihia thought it was a good idea so he'd give it a shot. But he had no idea how he was going to catch it which was a cause for mild concern until it conveniently froze mid-air in front of him. Simon snatched it out of the air grabbing Icarus with both hands "Alright!" He charged The King brandishing the weapon "I hope you're ready for this!" The King took a step back and put his guard up "You've trained with each other's weapons?!" Getting close Simon yelled in response "Hell no!" At the same time he threw Icarus like a frisbee of death.

Simon's outrageous behavior again proved enough to surprise The King but still he was able to throw his hands up at the last second blocking the whirling ice blades with his hands. Icarus kept spinning like a buzz saw as The King wore down its blades by pressing his super heated hands into the ice. Before long Icarus's Spiral Blades and Ring were shattered and melted, "Spells of this caliber hold no fear for me." From point blank behind The King, Simon said "How about this caliber? Perfect Phoenix Flare!" Previously his arms had been crossed holding in an intense fire but now he threw them wide unleashing the brilliant fire blast straight into The King. The fighter was sent flying but he was still trapped within the fire blast, about halfway across the arena he was able to dig his feet into the ground and surrounded himself with a heat shield to resist the blast of fire.

To this day Simon didn't understand how heat blocked fire but apparently it did. Refusing to let The King off scott free Simon continued to pour the fire on as long as he was able hoping to buy more time for Kihia. Simon couldn't help but enjoy this though, sure his attack wasn't doing much damage now because of the shield, but it had initially and forcing The King to block meant that The King needed to block his attack. Which was an improvement on the trends of the battle so far. His flare finally dissipated but when the fire cleared Simon couldn't see The King. It didn't even take him half a second to realize where he was but he still wasn't fast enough to stop the round house kick that connected with his back. Simon flailed through the air before having an unfortunate landing on some ice and taking an unpleasant slide across the terrain. Stupid ice terrain. Freaking selfish dummy. Why am I buying time for this guy anyway? I'm the hero! Hero or not at the moment Simon was a penguin taking a forced vacation as he struggled to control himself on the ice despite the high speed The King had launched him at.

Kihia had immedietly got started on his plan that he had come up with, two shards formed in his hands and he then tossed each one a few meters to the side, “Heavens Arch…” Then as the giant ring of ice form he bent down and touched his calves with his index fingers, “Frozen Armor Creation!” two boots of ice formed on his calves and he nodded, he then stood up and focused his magic power causing his right index finger to glow along with the majority of the gauntlet, “Of great blizzards and ancient calls… I fuse together to great storm of ice… that freezes anything caught in its wake… Freezing Blizzard of the Frozen Angel…” Kihia then started to draw symbols mid air as Simon unleashed a fire spell trapping the Champion as Icarus flew off to the side. Kihia then thrusted out his gloved hand and made the symbols glow once more completing the spell. The giant arch started to shake as it then rose from the ground as one giant completed ring, that then solidified into one large plane of ice.

Kihia then crouched down as the Disc of Ice angled itself to aim at the champion and started to glow, he clutched his hands into fists, “Lets see how you handle this…” Kihia then sprung forward at a speed that was hard to track with the naked eye, within a few seconds he appeared at the opposite side of the champion after he just launched Simon with his kick, “I have you now…” The Champion merely chuckled, “No you don’t” He then wrapped himself with fire, “Your ice will never touch me as long as my flames surround me!” At this Kihia smiled, “Even Fire when cooled down enough fades into steam…” Kihia then thrusted his hands towards the champion and unleashed a dual blast of cryogenic magical energy that impacted the veil of flames making a giant steam cloud erupt, “What? How did you manage to put out my flames??” Before Kihia said anything the disc of ice unleashed a massive typhoon of ice shards and snow that impacted the champion and carried him into Kihia’s Glacier wall, “I told you, even fire can be cooled… with enough energy focused into one plac-“ Kihia was interrupted when I giant jet of flame shot out and sent him sprawling backwards. The Champion was standing within the crater of the wall, his armor was in pieces along the ground he had flown and had his sword out and extended Kihia’s Direction, “Alright Now you have made me angry!”

Simon finally got onto his feet and popped his knuckles "You're only now getting mad?" The King gave him a backwards "I suppose I am most irritated that ants like you will require me to go all out." A vein bulged on Simon's fore head and he curled his hands into fists so hard his nails dug into his hand,

"Alright I tried to be calm. But you know what? FUCK YOU ASSHOLE!"

Simon charged the King growling like a mad dog. The King swung his blade unleashing a wave of fire. The phoenix made no effort to dodge and collided into the blast of fire before busting through the other side without slowing down. He wreathed his right arm in fire just as he got near the King and clocked him in the face. The King was barely lifted off his feet but Simon quickly remedied this by violently raising his knee into his opponent's family jewels. He snapped his fingers with his left hand "Phoenix Fire Secret Art: I'M TIRED OF YOUR SHIT! Phoenix Rage!" An explosion of blue fire blasted out of thin air below The King launching him heavenward.

Simon pursued jumping after him "Phoenix Talons!" His legs coated themselves in flame as he unleashed a hellish combo of kicks on The King. His foe countered by coating his arms in fire and using his forearms to deflect the kicks, "For all your talk. This is all you have?" Simon uttered profanity so foul it made all his past slurs sound child friendly, "Kihia get clear! Giga Crush!" Again Simon grew into his massive Fully Realized Phoenix Form to deliver an earth shattering kick that buried The King in the ground and unleashing a lava plume to high it went out of sight. Simon shrunk down but remained in his Phoenix form and flew circles around the pillar of magma.

The King jumped out of the lava pool coated in burns but he seemed undeterred. He looked up at Simon as he flew about with anger boiling in his eyes, The King jumped at him readying his sword to slash at the fire bird but Simon pulled up flying out of his range. He flipped mid air to meet The King's charge"Phoenix Impact!" His flight speed suddenly magnified as he spun into a flaming drill to crash into his opponent, but not everything would go his way, the King met his attack with a sword coated in flame "This is nothing!" Simon's flame dissipated leaving not even ashes behind and he reappeared in a burst of fire several meters above The King, in his partial phoenix form(in which he has a human body but his arms become flaming wings for those unfamiliar), he crossed his flaming wings across his chest "But this has some kick! Sky Fire!" He threw his flaming wings wide unleashing six small phoenixes that shot like bullets at The King.

The King's blade deflected the first two with little trouble but the third threw his arm off balance allowing the remaining three to hit home. They exploded in fire blasts that sent him into the ground hiding him from sight behind a cloud of dust and debris , "You won't get away that easily!" Simon flew straight down with no apparent attack plan and vanished into the dust. His flight generated enough wind to dispel the dust clouds allowing the audience to see a truly morbid sight. The King stood, beaten, bloody, burnt but quite alive with his sword in the held. Impaled through his head and through the entire length of his body was Simon. A collective gasp went up from the crowd at the violent killing. His jaw was slack and his eyes rolled back into his head, "At the end of the day, you're all talk. It's a shame to kill a child but your own reckless behavior brought this on."

Then Simon did the only natural thing, he blew up. Violent blue fire consumed Simon and The King from vision for several seconds. The flames cleared and Simon stood over the fallen king. The King's blade stuck out of the ground where it had fallen and buried it's tip. The phoenix mage laughed triumphantly "Honestly isn't anyone up to date on their mythos these days? A phoenix cannot be so simply killed." A roar of cheers met his apparent victory as Simon threw his curled fists into the air, "He-" "Enough of your foul tounge." No one saw The King move, it was simply too fast, but now he stood on his feet again holding Simon by his throat. Simon's mouth was moving but he made no sounds, he couldn't breath, The King was crushing his throat. "What's that boy? I couldn't hear you."

The strangler wore a sadistic grin. The arrogant boy now helpless struggling in the air had long been an annoyance. An ant who challenge god. A fly in the eye of a bull. Irritating but no real threat. The King knew no fear of anyone but himself. With his free hand he reached to pull his sword from the ground but his hand grasped nothing. Simon grinned and stabbed The King with his own blade. The King's grip relaxed and Simon fell to the ground clutching his throat and breathing raggedly. The crowd was shocked silent as The King fell on his back, clutching his blade. His eyes were wide as he wordlessly stared at the sky. Simon rose to his feet and walked over to his fallen foe, looking at him it appeared if the sword was pulled out he would bleed to death, then without further ado Simon pulled out the sword.

The crowd cried in disbelief at the cold hearted gesture. Simon jumped back and coated his hands in fire "Don't lose your minds. When fighting me even my enemies are Safe and Sound." He shot the fire around his hands at the ground. The two balls of fire hit the dirt floor of the arena and exploded into a small fire dome over The King. Simon landed on the ground and shoved his hands in his pockets "This is a healing and defense spell. It will close his wounds and pull him back from the gates of the underworld. Just give it a little time. This is our win."

The crowd relaxed at his explanation. Simon looked over at Kihia and grinned sheepishly "Sorry guess I got a bit carried away. I didn't even let you get in a good shot."

Kihia groaned as he pushed himself off the ground, sending some of his magical power to his right arm to restablize ice that it was made out of. He then looked up and saw Simon fighting against the Champion both going all out. Kihia got to one knee and reached out and grabbed Icarus, when suddenly he heard Simon call out to him to move, which he did without hesitating, Kihia landed not too far from the edge of his glacier wall as a giant explosion enveloped the area he was previously. Kihia then took a breather and watched the fight, not wanting to get caught in another blast of fire magic.

Kihia then watched the battle drag on for a few more minutes, when Simon flew into a dust cloud which quickly dissipated revealing Simon to be impaled on the Champions sword with blood spraying into the air, “SIMON!!” Kihia then prepared to dash forward when Simon suddenly exploded, and when the smoke cleared, Simon was standing triumphantly above the Champion. Kihia however stood their aghast while The Champion then attempted to strike back at Simon, however was swiftly defeated afterword.

Kihia then shook his head and sat back, waving his hand dispelling all of the ice he had created during the course of the tournament. He then looked at Simon and a small chuckle came out of his mouth, “I guess I should not be surprised… Your title… The Phoenix… is as literal as mine…” The Frozen Knight Then slowly stood up as the crowd continued to cheer, with Simon’s and Kihia’s names being cheered by the crowd alternating the names with excited praise. Kihia sheathed Icarus and rubbed his head with his right hand, “I am not used to this… So I will let you have the lime light…” Kihia then started to walk off towards to the side of the arena, wanting to get out of sight.

Simon had less then no problem taking the lime light. But at the same time he really wanted to put Kihia on the spot, nothing was more amusing then big guys who were scared of crowds. Ultimately what it came down to was that Simon figured he didn't have the upper body strength to stop Kihia from walking away. So he allowed is comrade and soaked in a good few minutes of cheering and fan fare. "Can't wait to tell the guild back home about this. They'd never believe me. But then again, I am me, so maybe they will." Eventually the crowd began to calm down and Simon started to make his way out of the arena. As he exited through one of the open gates he thought to himself, King of Fighters. Now that's a title. I can really get behind that. A couple years ago I would have never thought standing where I am now is possible. I guess I've done a lot I wouldn't have believed possible a couple years ago. I mean hello I can turn into a flaming bird at will! I do it like it is an everyday occurrence and no big deal, but really just turn back the clock a little and I'd have told you such a thing was never going to happen.

He was following this train of thought when he caught sight of Kihia down the intentionally-made-stupidly-long-for-dramatic-effect-entry-hallway. Simon rushed to catch up, "Hey! Nice moves out their big guy. It probably would have taken me an entire ten minutes more to finish that without your help." The phoenix laughed at his own arrogance before saying, "But in all honesty you know what you're doing with all that ice stuff. But you know, we've shared some intense battles now but I don't really know you; what's your story?"

Kihia stopped suddenly when Simon called out to him, he then turned and faced the man who had been his teammate throughout the tournament. After hearing what Simon had initially said, Kihia did a slight bow to Simon, “Same goes for you Simon… You showed excellent fighting capabilities of your own…” After Simon had laughed, and asked his next question, that question like always, made Kihia look away and tighten his right hand into a fist, “My Story…?” Kihia relaxed his right hand and lifted it up grabbing the gauntlet of his right hand. He then pulled the Gauntlet off, revealing the icy structure of Kihia’s right hand and arm. “When I was seven… My arm was taken from me… That’s when it all really began I guess…” Kihia then continued on summarizing what his past was like, From the complete destruction of his home town, his early to middle years of magic training with Iarok, The Death of his mentor and his Arrival at Lamia Scale, and his progress in Lamia Scale eventually becoming the first Ace of Lamia Scale since its reconstruction. “So that’s it… From my time at Lamia Scale… I have seen and learned so much… even though I may be the last member of my family alive… I have a new family that I will protect with my very life….” Kihia then went silent and placed the gauntlet back onto his right hand, covering up its icy structure once more… Kihia then was silent for a few minutes before turning to Simon, “What about you…? You show excellent abilities… even having the same traits of the Mythical Phoenix… What is your story?” Kihia then went silent, waiting for Simons response, he leaned against the wall of the entrance hall for he had a feeling this was going to be a long conversation…

Simon listened to Kihia's tale of a whole lot of stuff. Well listened to was a very generous word. It got a bit drawn out at times and Simon's attention slipped more than a few times. Enhanced time perception and all that good stuff made it all but impossible to maintain focus over a long period of time. But Simon liked to believe he got the gist and all the important parts. After all he remembered all the stuff he payed attention too and so from his point of view he got everything. Fortunately he was listening when Kihia and as such was able to answer his question and give the impression that he had in fact been paying attention the entire time. "Oh my story? Nothing too exciting origin wise." Simon shrugged and sighed "Born in Ca=Elum. Didn't have parents, so I don't know if I can say I was born for sure. I was just kinda there. So I get taken in by a demon or something. He turns me into a weapon or something. Some hero tries to save me, but honestly the demon was pretty cool. So they both ended up raising me or something? Anyway eventually turns out the demon was super evil and so the hero guy had to send me away." Simon listed off the events as those they were rather insignifigant and completely normal "So he takes me to Fiore. He goes back to fight the demon and what not. Haven't heard from him or the demon since. I get left with this rich guy. He was pretty nice. He put this weird mirror thing on me that trapped the demon weapon thingy. But the nice rich guy got progressively more and more old and dumb and mean. He started randomly blaming me for stuff that I had nothing to do with and just got rather unpleasant to be around you know? Like old people do. So I run away when I guess I was 10 or so."

Simon scratched his head as he struggled to recall "That's when I went to Fairy Tail. I used some magic I learned from some charlatan I met back in Ca=Elum. I eventually worked out how to weaponize the mirror thing. But that got annoying because of how weak it was so I broke it and unleashed my demon weapon power things. Wait demon slayer was the word I was looking for earlier, demon slayer, I was a demon slayer. Anyway so that kinda got problematic, it was a pretty gruesome magic and it kept hurting people." Simon prattled it off like it was nothing but at that particular section of the story his face showed the slightest bit of remorse and maybe even regret. His story resumed with a slightly heavier tone, "So I do some research. Find out about The Phoenix. Get some magic ring thing the demon made back in the day. Trick the phoenix into burning away my demon slayer magic, and the ring allows me to absorb some of The Phoenix's flames. Then I become famous and awesome with my super cool fire powers!" His voice suddenly picked up at the last part and he smiled "And now I'm here and a freaking badass!"

Kihia nodded fully understanding at Simons explanation of his own story, he then looked to his left down the entrance hallway that led to the Partipants entry hall, no doubt their client was waiting for them there. He then sighed and then smiled, “You know… its amusing… of how different the two of us are… a Fire and Ice mage… One who is a Genius of Hard work… and one who is a Genius by Blood…. One outgoing and the other introverted…” Kihia then went quiet for a long moment before looking at Simon, “However in the short time we knew each other we fought together brilliantly… fighting in a tournament where Elites gather… beating each round with near flawless precision and teamwork… and winning the entire ordeal…” Kihia then stood up fully and rolled his neck before turning to face Simon fully, He then bowed out of respect and then offered to shake Simons hands, “If your Guild has more like you in it… perhaps one day… our two Guilds could possibly work together on something… however I am not sure on how Master Zuo would handle the idea… if he would accept it… but I for one see it as a possibility…” Kihia then would wait for a moment to see if Simon would shake his hand, after the accepted or rejected gesture Kihia would lower his right hand and calmly said, “Consider me an Ally for any future conflicts you may need… My shield will always be ready to aid you…” Suddenly a shout could be heard from down the hall, it sounded like their client running to them giving up on waiting, however when Kihia turned to see him what was behind their client made him cringe… and that thing being a giant mob of new fans rushing to see the new champions…

Simon threw his hands wide "And then the fans swarmed us! Me and Kihia were pretty much swept away by the masses. I mean if I really tried I could have got myself out of there anytime. But man it was fun and you gotta show the fans a little love sometimes so I let it happen." It was several weeks after the events of the tournament had come and passed and Simon found himself retelling the story to a crowd of Fairy Tail mages. He was standing on top of one of the guild's tables like a stage, he couldn't remember who even asked about it first, but now the whole guild was going to endure his verbose story telling. They crowded around him listening with various levels of attentiveness, from the eager newbie excited to hear every detail, to the half asleep veteran who had heard enough of Simon's stories to last a life time.

The phoenix grabbed the pendant hanging from his neck and held it up for everyone to see "And for my effort! This was my reward. The Pendant of Champions! I tried to give it to Kihia, you know since he was such a good meat shield the whole time. But he simply wouldn't have it." He shrugged and let the pendant hang again before continuing "I mean I don't want to bore you guys with the details about him. He was kinda dull. So proper and uptight, it was something else putting up with him sometimes. But honestly I think he was a good guy. Maybe he tried too hard sometimes, and maybe he was too tall to be cool. But under that he was good hearted. A real go-getter and a bit of a badass." Simon laughed "I mean not as badass as me though! I mean remember the part where I was pummeling the King? Never got his name thinking back. Anyway I was all like Phoenix Rage! And Giga Crush! And Sky Fire! I was kicking ass! Like dang I was on fire." Simon pointed his finger to the ceiling and shouted "Anyway! That's the story of how I won the King of Fighter's Tournament!"

Simon was met with a barrage of cheers of various sincerity as he jumped to the upper levels of the guild, vanishing from sight and making his exit.

Now back in his nest he kicked back at his desk content with his daily fame mongering. His gaze drifted to the sky, visible between tree branches, "I never did hear from Kihia after that. I wonder where he is nowadays." He thought about it for a minute before deciding "Well. Wherever he is, I'm sure he's doing fine."
