AXES FINAL
CHARLOTTE vs. KHAN BASILIO @peachmeant / @feroxiox
Coin Toss: Charlotte strikes first
“The audience is already roaring in applause and the match hasn’t even begun yet. Here we are, Chrom... this match will decide the winner of the ax division. Lady Charlotte, or Khan Basilio.”
“This is going to be pretty intense, isn’t it? I’ve heard people hyping each other up all morning, and the support seems to be equally share between the two. Charlotte pretended to be a fragile one back during the signups, but we’ve all had a chance to see her true colours by now: I don’t believe anyone knows which way this match will go.”
“Without further ado, let the tourney begin!”
CHARLOTTE: 3 strike v. 9 defense
Charlotte lets out a snarl and moves in, but Basilio laughs mightily as he side-steps.
BASILIO: 8 strike v. 17 defense
As Basilio steps to the side, he swings his ax in a downward cut, but Charlotte blocks him, pushing his ax back.
CHARLOTTE: 6 strike v. 17 defense
The back and forth continues as Charlotte swings her ax around to hit Basilio’s side, but he blocks her in turn, congratulating her as he does, “Almost got me there, Gar har! Good form!”
BASILIO: 4 strike v. 10 defense
Charlotte sneers slightly as Basilio swings again to hit her, but she sees it coming and avoids him in turn. “Have to be faster than that, old man!” she taunts.
CHARLOTTE: 2 strike v. 18 defense
Again, Charlotte strikes and again, she misses. Basilio laughs once more as he dodges her strike.
BASILIO: 12 strike v. 2 defense (Anemone)
Finally, a strike connects! Charlotte is distracted by the anemone flower that Basilio wears, and she falters in her dodge. Basilio swings his ax against her side, catching her in a solid hit.
“Who knew ax wielders were so swift! They’re both dodging more than they’re hitting. But the Khan has made a slight lead!”
“Gods, I thought they’d never get a hit in! I never thought Basilio was one for flowers, but it certainly did him a favour there.”
CHARLOTTE: 11 strike v. 8
Tying up the score again, Charlotte lets out a rough shout as she hits Basilio with the flat of her ax. All the same, the khan still laughs.
BASILIO: 6 strike v. 17 defense
Charlotte gets out of the way quickly as Basilio retaliates with an uppercut strike. She lets out a triumphant, “HA!”
CHARLOTTE: 7 strike v. 10 defense
Charlotte swings wildly, trying to win the match with one last hit. Time is running out, but Basilio can see her motion coming and he steps to the side.
BASILIO: 8 strike v. 6 defense
As he side-steps Charlotte’s final attack, Basilio tags Charlotte with one more strike to the shoulder.
“Oh! OH! Khan Basilio has won! Chrom, Khan Basilio has won the whole ax tournament!”
“Emm? You look like you’re going to cry. Want to step out a second? Anyway, congratulations to our first champion of the day, Khan Basilio of Regna Ferox! Charlotte also fought valiantly; as such, both will be receiving a prize. I heard you’re a fan of shiny things, Charlotte, so enjoy...”
Before the two warriors leave the arena, they are ushered to the judges’ box. Charlotte is presented with a circlet made of silver flowers, her second place prize. Khan Basilio is crowned with the golden circlet of flowers.
BASILIO IS THE AX CHAMPION!!!
