| The doors to the antechamber slam shut behind the two combatants as the doors ahead of them slowly creak open. A thin ray of light steadily grows in width, until the two warriors are displayed for the crowd to see. Wordings both magical and technological prevent either combatant from leaving, but they a re free to move around however they wish within the arena. The surface is sandy, with rocks of various size littered about, some bigger than Manticores while others the size of a hoof.
Mind Blaze steps into the arena, watching her opponent carefully as she readies her magic. | |

| Jäger doesn't just walk into the room, he saunters into the familiar setting of the arena, even going so far as to rear up and throw his forehooves up into the air and let out a bestial roar that sounded far from pony like, and actually rather fitting for the monstrous thing that joined the unicorn in the arena. The beast was large, likely able to look at least Luna in the eyes, and maybe even Celestia. It's rough coat was a dull orange in color, or at least most of it as the back left leg all the way up to the flank was a much more yellow shade of orange and the right foreleg was various metallic colors, showing that it was a blatant prosthetic piece. The thing's mane and tail were both green, somewhat short, and haphazardly cut, but blatantly different shades of green. As he stood up for the cheer inducing gesture, the large pair of prosthetic wings shuffled and adjusted themselves, but remained folded up against his back. With the roar the beast let out, Mind would also be able to see the jagged array of pointed teeth that refused to properly mesh up even when his mouth was closed.
"YAH, YAY-GAR ISH READY TA HUNT!" he called to the crowd with a booming and rough voice before beginning to fall back to his forehooves. Though on the way down, he whipped the long poled halberd from his back. After landing, he hitched the weapon up under one of his wings so that the weapon's head was pointed outward. The cruel axe head and spear point aimed directly at Mind Blaze. With a burst of speed from his hind legs, one of which sporting a rock as a cutie mark, and the other sporting a hoof breaking a shield, Jäger began to charge at Mind Blaze. "HY HOPE HYU'S READY!" | |

| Mind Blaze eeps, as her horn flares. Instantly several rows of conveyor belt like arrows appear on the sand, sliding her out of the way of Jaeger's charge. The arrows themselves are translucent wireframe a in the air, atop white rails in the sand. The spell form vaguely resembles a train track made of runes. At the same time, arrows appear around several nearby boulders, propelling them towards the end point of Jaeger's charge. Several more arrow rails move her around the arena as she phases through any rocks in the way. "You aren't going to catch me, and I won't let you hit me!" She yells back, though her heart wasn't really in it. She wasn't an arena fighter, and he was. Her advantage was magic, but that didn't mean he was defenseless against it. She would need to keep an eye out for any anti magic devices.

| Jäger's eyes followed Mind, but that didn't mean he was oblivious to the barrage of boulders and rocks that were now converging on his charging path. Jäger however didn't even try to stop, he just kept up the charge. Then with a quick flick of movement and bit before the point where the boulders were converging, Jäger planted the end of the pole weapon into the ground of the arena and hopped up so that the pole weapon was almost vertical. Using the pole like a fulcrum, Jäger spun about on the shaft of the weapon until he was aimed at a spot in Mind's current path and launched himself in the new direction without losing much momentum. As he went through the spin, he ripped the halberd from the ground with a flourish and then simply resumed his charge at Lolk, poised to intercept the faster moving pony with the ax head.
The reason for waiting so long before performing his sudden direction change soon made itself apparent too, as there'd be little to no time to change the direction of the flying rocks before they collided with each other, likely breaking several of them in the process. "HAH, HYU BE NEEDINK MORE DEN LEETEL TRICKSH TO ESHCAPE MEH!" Jäger bellowed as he continued his charge. | |

| Mind Blaze is relatively stunned as the mad pony with the polearm circumvents her opening blow entirely. Of course, she could do the same to him, in way. She falls backwards, using her momentum magic to push her faster enough to escoae the polearm as she phases into the ground. She want sure if the weapon was enchanted to be able to hit her while phased, or if he had soe, technique of his own, but she wasn't taking any chances. Once under the surface, another application of her magic propels her to the other end of the arena, where she resurfaces with a gasp of air. She glares at the polearm, ready this time. If Jaeger tries to pull the same trick, she would be ready with another arrow rail to shove his polearm off balance, hopefully disrupting the trick. Meanwhile, white lighting arcs from her horn, quickly scorching a runic circle in the ground around her. | |

| Jäger growled slightly as his charge yielded no results, and since he was already at one end of the arena, he wasted no time in turning right back around and beginning to charge back to the center, meaning he was nearly there by the time Mind Blaze resurfaced. Jäger grinned as he still pressed his charge, but then he saw the lighting up of the horn and it beginning to sketch something in the ground. Not wanting to deal with anything of that nature, Jäger suddenly hurled his halberd with a terrifying amount of strength at Mind. The weapon's broad head aimed to bury itself right where she was standing. Jäger however wasn't done with just that though, for as he continued to charge onward, Jäger kicked up some of the rocks to launch them at Mind as well, or at least at whatever it was that she was working on in the dirt and hopefully disrupt it. | |

| Mind Blaze manages to finish the circle just in time, though cursing the loss of a prepared spell. All objects kicked at her are repelled by the circle with tremendous force, while she uses one of her more combat appropriate movement spells. Charging a up a force based spell and serveral arrow rails, she let's herself get pulled into the Between, resurfacing for an instant behind Jaeger and firing off the three spells before being dragged back into it and deposited in a collapsed heap within the safety of her circle. The force push was extremely powerful, like being bull shushed by a manticore. It was angled so as to push Jaeger forward into an upward pointing arrow rail which would then propel him skywards at the same velocity into one that would abruptly shove his mid air body away for Blaze without changeling the momentum acting on his internal organs. Meanwhile, Blaze shakily pushes herself to her legs, the burst of four relatively powerful spells within such few seconds having winded her. | |

| Jäger cursed under his breath as he was just a hare too slow at interrupting the magic circle and the objects are repelled. With a a little hop in his charge, he catches the halberd and locked the weapon back into place under his left wing before using the right one to shield himself from the rocks that were hurled back towards him. When Mind disappeared, naturally the first direction to turn would be behind him, and he'd bring the halberd about with the motion. After all, just looking towards where you expected your opponent to appear didn't do nearly as much as swinging a large ax headed weapon in that direction.
Regardless of whether or not the swipe hit, that first directional arrow would send him rocketing backward. Jäger barely had the time to glance over his shoulder and spy the other two arrows before hitting the one that'd send him flying. However, Jäger wouldn't be hitting the third one as once he was being shot up, Jäger flared out his wings at an angle to shoot him forward in the direction he'd originally been charging, or in other words, the circle. When whatever force that was launching him upwards decided to wear off, Jäger'd fold in his wings and dive, hard, at Mind's shaky form, halberd aimed directly at her and grinning like a maniac the entire time. If he had any injury from the one abrupt change in direction he'd faced, Jäger didn't show it as he began to cackle while diving. "HY'M COMINK FOR HYU TRICKSEY PONEH!" | |

| Mind Blaze continues cursing the higher heavens as Jaeger avoids her tricks yet again. She'd forgotten he had wings, although that did give her an idea. It would be much easier if he didn't have them. After all. When Jaeger begins diving, white and black lightning arc along his wings as her magic directs them in the opposite direction of his dive with equal force to the dive. The magic circle she's in still holds, but it's lines are becoming shaky and dim. | |

| Jäger felt the sudden appearance of strain on his wings as they were forced outward, but that did little to stop his forward momentum until the impact with the circle occurred. Just as the mechanics might have started to become strained, Jäger would either be repelled off the barrier like the projectiles had, or he'd bound off it himself while throwing a spin onto the action to get the wings off those pesky arrows. Deposited on the ground shortly after, and fairly recklessly as he landed in a heap, Jäger got up and turned around to face the circle again. Still sporting the psychotic smile of a mad pony, Jäger charged forward again with the halberd still aimed at Mind Blaze. | |

| The barrier repels Jaeger successfully, though it fizzles out while he lands in a heap. Fortunately for Blaze, this provided enough of a delay for her to get her breath and some of her mana back. As Jaeger charges, she again activates her phasing spell. Diving under the sand, she appears in the center of the arena, leaving Jaeger to charge into a wall. Once she has fully surface, she waves a hoof in Jaeger's general direction. Usually, her hoof is glowing as circles and spell formula in black aura characters connected by lighting surround it. Her horn is also glowing though, so it is unlikely she is fully casting with her hooves. A wall of momentum arrows appears between her and Jaeger, temporarily blocking an immediate spin and charge attack from him. Meanwhile, her dual-colored aura spits out an ornate, black 'N', from which white lightening arcs onto the sand and begins drawing an extremely complex spell circle. | |

| Jäger would stop the moment Blaze disappeared again, and as per usual, turn about instantly where he'd see her appear in the center of the arena. Before he could really make much progress though, several of the same arrows popped up blocking him from really reaching her. Left with a rather simple course of action, Jäger began to run along the wall of arrows, towards an edge to hopefully get around it, and all the while he was knocking stones and boulders through the gaps in the wall at Blaze, once more trying to either hit her or disrupt the circle she was beginning to draw. | |
