GOFF: Manta vs Alphonse

As Manta enters the arena, he takes a look at his opponent. The opponent was a man with a high bounty. That bounty was not as high as his own, but it was high, too. He would be a difficult opponent for sure. Manta had to be careful. However, no matter how much stronger he was there was no opponent that could beat him. And so, the man prepared his scythe and pointed towards Alphonse with it in order to show that he was prepared to start the battle. The pirate with the bounty of the 40,000,000 beli had made his move. Now, it was up to Alphonse to start the battle. Who would emerge victorious?

Alphonse looked at his oponent, a man with 40,000,000 belli as a bounty couldn't have been weak. Alphonse hoped he wouldnt have to use his full strength. He stood still at first "Metal Sand" Tiny Sands were scatered in the air, glowing but a tiny portion none the less, the small fragments of metal seemd to be rotating the arena. Alphonse then Braced him self, "Metal Manipulation", Alphonse was secretly controling the metal particles in his body now allowing him to move freely, Alphonse started running towards His oponent "Metal Fist!", he swung at his oponents rib cage, the pressure from the impact was felt as the fist got closer to his enemy.

"Shockwave Rush!" were the words of Manta who started using his signature Shockwave while running to echance his speed to Soru levels, dodging the Metal Fist attack. It looked like the metal fist attack was pretty strong. He should not be hit by a technique like that. That would cause him much damage indeed. He had to be careful. Alphonse was not an ordinary pirate at all. As soon as he got a few meters away, the man said "Scythe Windslash!" and he launched an air blade from the scythe after swinging the scythe quickly that aimed for Alphonse's chest.

Alphonse controled his body and pushed it back forcibly with his metal controling DF powers, he barely dodged the attack leaving a cut in his black coat. Alphonse emediatly reacted taking out both his swords, He propeled His metal atoms moving in a fast speed, Alphonse swung his right sword at the oponent, having the other sword held beside him. He aimed t his right arm. -This man i cant hold back to too much longer-

Manta laughed evily as he looked at the opponent coming towards him with the sword attack. He said "That was what I wanted! Don't hold back, weirdo!" with his tongue out of his mouth, something that showed his blood lust. As the opponent swung his sword towards him, the man moved the scythe towards the sword, blocking the sword attack with it. Then, he said "Chicken Beam!" as he launched a beam from the scythe that would turn Alphonse into a chicken if it hit. Apparently, the man was at a close distance. His sword was touching his scythe. It was very difficult for him to dodge the beam and not turn into a chicken...

After Alphonse was Hit by the beam he turned to a chicken, Alphonse watched as the oponent was over him. Alphonse opened his mouth "Bock Bock BOOOCK!!" His entire body turned to metal getting prepared to defend itself.

"Hahaha! No matter how much harder your body turns, you are still a chicken so you are frailer than a human!" were the words of the man who moved his scythe gracefully and prepared to strike his enemy. He said "Scythe Slash!" as he moved his scythe quickly towards his target, aiming to chop the chicken's neck. There was no friggin' way a small chicken could defend itself against a powerful attack like that... Manta believed he had won the battle against Alphonse.

The chickens metal body made it easier for Metal Manipulation to move it around, the chicken propeled itself backwards narrowly missing geting cut in the neck since it was much lighter, the speed of the chicken was much faster in this for then in his human form. The chicken had an angry look on it as it transformed back Into Alphonse "You... dont want to play around do you.." Alphonse was mad now, he wasnt going to hold back anymore "Metal Shards", shards of metal were Made from his body, not removing any of the metal he already had on him. The shards turned to swords, 5 swords sorrounded Alphonse willingly controled by his will. Metal fragments also concentrated on his arms creating a shild and sword "If u wanted me to fight seriously, heres most of it" Alphonse was now getting ready to counter.

"This will look pretty interesting!" Manta said as he looked at the enemy reverting back at his original form. The battle seemed to REALLY start now. Manta should be more careful with his enemy now. The pirate looked at the metal swords and said "Interesting..." as he started spinning his scythe for a while, while taking his real battle stance. "I guess the real show will start now!" the man completed. Then, he said "What are you waiting for? Come to me..." waiting for Alphonse to come towards him. Manta's plan was simple. He would see through Alphonse's plan first and then he would go with his attacks... He had to predict every single move of the enemy if he wanted to trap him and defeat him. He had to read through Alphonse's actions and predict his next movements...

Alphonse sent 3 of his swords, recognizing his oponent as the type to wait, the last time he attacked he fell for a trap, so attacking stratigically was his only option. Alphonse has only been on this form once before, and he promised himself he'd never use it again. The swords were controled as if they had a life of their own, they got near manta and started swinging, each aiming at a different part of his body. While the swords were sent lphonse started making more shards, having only enough time to make 2 shields sorrounding Alphonse since his oponent hadnt attacked. Alphonse now had 2 shields and 2 swords around him.

"Perfect!" the pirate said as he looked at the opponent who created more and more metal shards. The pirate could easily understand that Alphonse had enough physical strength in this form to control all these metal swords and shards at once. However, he would be lacking the strength to control all these things if he was a chicken. Moreover, he had filled himself with metal particles. He had many shields around him and swords so it would be difficult for him to move. As the swords were coming towards Manta, he pointed towards the enemy with the scythe and said "This is the end! Chicken Garden!" as he launched a blast from his scythe that exploded right at the ground in front of Alphonse and unleashed energy that could turn him into a chicken, before the swords hit him.

Alphonse saw the attack coming, While closely watching the attack alphonse noticed the attack was made of light. Alphonse didnt even bother to move as the attack hit him, smoke covered the arena as the smoke cleared away beams of light came running out of the smoke hiting most of the audience. Alphonse explained "Did you know that metal can reflect light? I bet you might've noticed the thing your scythe shoots is light" Alphonse still had his 3 swords aiming at his enemy. ((looked it up, its true))

Seeing that everything went as planned, Manta started spinning his scythe. The light of the beam was sent towards the scythe. As he spinned it, the scythe absorbed the reflected light. The man said "Chk... Chicken Hunter Mode!". Then, he looked at the swords that were coming towards him. The man laughed and said "Shockwave Rush!" as he dodged them gracefully by running away randomly and seconds later he started running towards his opponent. Afterwards, he said "Scythe Slash!" as he attempted to slash the man in the eyes. Apparently, his eyes were not composed of metal so he could still turn him into chicken if he hit him in the eyes...

Manta ran towards Alphonse, a bold move from someone. Alphonse But the shield that was inches from his body in the way, blocking the hit. the light that was on the scythe touched the shield, after carefull calculations he saw he originally aimed for his eyes since the scythe was too close for comfort. Alphonse closed his eyes after the attack was blocked inches from his face, with his eyes closed he didnt have any way of turning him to a chicken. Alphonse easily maneuvered his swords that were behind Manta originally had caught up to him after alphonse stopped the attack. They were moving in a rather fast pace aiming straight at manta (note Alphonse is in complete control over it).

Seeing that the opponent blocked his attack, Manta decided to go back at his previous position and think of something else. As the swords were moving towards him from behind, the man launched two shockwaves from his feet and gathered enough force to jump high and avoid getting slashed from behind. Then, he took landed on the ground, safe and sound, standing on his knees. He said "Will you keep doing that again and again?" while waiting for his opponent to do something else. Manta had grown bored of this hit and run and block. He wanted something to happen instead of blocking and dodging each other's attacks most of the time.

ALphonse figured the swords were doing much effect so he put all the swords and shields around him, 5 swords and 2 shields plus the sword and shield in his arms, Alphonse desided to simply attack with the sorrounding weapons, Alphonse Put both his hands with his eyes closed infront of him. "Metal..Manipulation", Alphonse could easily move. Not moving throughout the fight was a choice. Alphonse propelled Himself in the direction of his enemy with a total of 6 swords and 3 shields, 2 floating shields and 5 floating swords. Alphonse swong all the swords at Manta while at the same time holding all the shields close to him. Alphonses speed was that of an even faster quality then before. Alphonse used the metal sands in the air to sence his oponents movement, using it like a radar for living things.

Manta did not care about what his opponent was about to do. He did not look at his actions. He only wanted to see if he would respond. If he was about to respond to his words, then he would go with his plan. Despite the fact that he had his eyes closed, there was still one more area from which he could turn him into a chicken: His mouth. As soon as Alphonse responded, the man said "Chicken Garden!" and launched a blast of chicken energy in front Alphonse. Then, as it exploded chicken beams were unlished. Some of the light particles were reflected towards Manta's side who easily absorbed them on his scythe's blade by using some more Chicken beams around the blade to echance it. However, some of the light particles were moving towards the man's opened mouth. If they managed to reach the mouth, then he would be turned into a chicken once more and Manta would have an advantage once more.

Alphonse was hit by the Chicken beam in his mouth transforming him into a chicken, But all the shields and swords were still up. Having already been made by Alphonse those shards are under his control, and his will. Alphonse prepared himself to defend, moving all the shards around him, having hte shields in the left, right and front and keeping the swords close to him. the sword he originally possed was droped on the floor behind him.

Now it was the perfect chance for Manta to strike! He was about to unleash one of his strongest melee attacks. Knowing that his scythe would be unable to do anything at all at the metal, he would go with another kind of attack instead. As the chicken was surrounded by the shields it would be very difficult to move. This attack would be the stronger Manta had ever unleashed. The pirate started running towards the enemy. Then, he jumped onto the air and as he was there he said "Shockwave Kick!" as he attempted to kick the metal shields with a shockwave echanced attack. However, that was not all. After the first kick, he would follow with a second one and with a third one and with a fourth one and .... and... and... until his opponent would be dead. The powerful shockwave, in combination with the kick would be able to crack the metal...

The powerfull shockwaves swarmed towards Alphonse, His shields were not enough to protect him, but the shields werent all he had to protect himself, Alphonse trasfrmed almost all his swords into Shields while the 3 he had were holding back the barage. Alphonse then used the sword behind him, "Boc Boc BOOOOC!! a wall of 8 shields one after another insured his protection, as he transformed back to normal and holding out all that time. He was now pissed, more so then before, ALphonse Repeled Himself alredy having his body under full control he propelled himself forward, infront of His enemy inches fom his face, he was now in a rage, his eyes stilll closed. Alphonse pulled out his hand, and and reached for his throat, he was far too close to even consider dodging it, and they were in the air, Alphonse could move freely in it. The shilds that were cracked were still around Alphonse, as he was controling them still.

Of course there was no way for an ordinary human to dodge the attack. However, who said Manta was an ordinary human? As the metal fist was about to strike him to the throat, he quickly moved and dodged the attack by moving his body the the side. Then, he said "Shockwave Kick!" as he attempted to kick the enemy at his b@lls in order to break them and cause him a significant amount of damage. The battle seemed to be drawing to an end as the two enemies were using more and more intense techniques.

Alphonse having Shields around him stopped the technique with ease, Alphonse turned a cracked Shield into a brand new sword while in the air, Alphonse was still close to him and having attacked already Manta was now wide open, Alphonse moved his body so that it was untop of Manta, he was in a position were he couldnt move for gravity was pulling him down, Alphonse Repeled Himself down,while falling centimeters from the target was His body moving at incredible speed which resembled a meteor. If this attack were to hit Alphonse would break every bone in his body. shields were around alphonse.

Although it seemed very difficult to dodge the attack, Manta improvised once more. As the enemy was falling towards him, he moved his legs at the right and launched a shockwave that repeled him at the exact opposite direction with extreme speed, dodging the attack. Then, as he looked at the enemy falling he said "Time to die!" as he started 10 rapid shockwaves from his leg, aiming for the enemy's back. He hoped that this would defeat him. After all, one shockwave was enough to crack a shield so if the 10 of them hit, Alphonse would be doomed to death.

Alphonse stoped himslef in mid-air, levitating the second the oponent used shock waves to stop himself, Alphonse Again boosted himself behind him in great speed. When the oponent used 10 rapid shockwaves Alphonse was already moving towards the side. Appearing right Behind him, Alphonse was inches away from his back as he made a quick sword appear from a shard Alphonse Plunged the sword forward, being inches from his back and him Just finishing his attack He was wide open, Alphonse Plunged his sword at where his heart would be. If this hits, its the end. Alphonse still had his 8 shields behind him.

"I said this is gonna end and I mean it!" were the words of Manta who moved his scythe quickly and blocked the sword attack as he felt the swing of the enemy's sword. After blocking, he swung his scythe in a wide diagonical area and said "SCYTHE WINDSLASH!" as he launched the air blade with much strength towards the enemy, that would and COULD cut the metal diagonically and cause extreme bleeding it it hit. Even if the shields were moved, they would simply be cut and the air blade would continue... The scythe was swung in such a big area that the air blade was very big, triple the size of Alphonse. Would he be able to dodge and survive?
