[Maverick Hunter Zero]

Vent was wholly prepared for the assault, and needed to at least try to dodge to the best of his ability, especially the combo...
DEX ROLL A: 7LSv_gQap_1d20+2(attacking stat wins, 8% dmg)
DEX ROLL B: p_1d20+2(dodged)
DEX ROLL C: p_1d20+2(8% dmg)

Then came the Scythe...
DEX ROLL D: p_1d20+2(Missed me!)

And finally the broadsword...
DEX ROLL E: p_1d20+2(19% dmg taken)
Mortal Wound Chance: p_1d100(Not afflicted with Mortal Wound)

"Our fight is almost done and over with, and I must say; you are making me feel the burn with this bout." Vent would say, clearly impressed that Haseo was actually giving him a good time throughout the fight, that in turn was enough for him to actually become serious and aim to inflict alot more pain upon his opponent, the rage he had towards Serpent and Slither Inc. had subsided and in its place was genuine excitement, a rush like he never felt because of that pent up hatred he had.

In other words; Vent was actually having fun for the first time in his life...

"Now to finish this fight!" Vent said as he immediately went for a Triple Slash...  It might not be the best, bit it was just the first stage of the combo.
STR ROLL A: p_1d20+2(Triple Slash @ Haseo, 24% dmg if it connects, 2% recoil dmg taken)

Then attempted to unleash a Shot Burst upon his opponent...  Which can easily punish anyone if they weren't careful
DEX ROLL F: p_1d20+2(Shot Burst @ Haseo, 18% dmg if it connects, +2 accuracy bonus if opponent has low DEX)

Then ended his combo with something he hadn't used before...
STR ROLL B: p_1d20+2(Codebreaker @ Haseo, 30% dmg if it connects, 5% recoil dmg taken, destroys bubble shield on hit if blocked)

Then came the appeal...  Which was spot on and got the crowd feeling entertained!
Appeal roll: p_1d20+2(Noice!)

Haseo was really enjoying this fight as he swung and hit Vent for quite a bit of damage this time. Still Haseo planned to win this and he was in the lead damage wise but not appeal wise. So right now he would see as Vent dealt out another round of attacks as Haseo went to dodge them. 

"Got me working up a sweat here dude, but it's going to take a lot more if you want to finish me off." Haseo said with a smirk before beginning his dodge round.

"Okay that stung a bit but I got more in me." Haseo said as he moved in to attack Vent with a last string of attacks. "But first I think I'll change back to normal form." 

With that Haseo changed his form back to 1st Form.

~Action used to change back to 1st Form Haseo.

First he would do his combo attack with his Twin Blades in the form of Sword Dance.

"Let's go, Sword Dance!" Haseo cried out as he performed the attack.

STR Rolls for Sword Dance: Does 10% damage per hit. Cooldown 1 turn.

Then the appeal.

As the duo of announcers continued to blubber amongst each other, Lt. Surge remained sat at his judge’s throne, staring pensively at the duo as they continued to trade blows. The match was nearing its end, Haseo throwing out his last line up of moves right as the timer was ticking toward its end. It seemed that the match was over for him, but for Vent, these last few seconds were imperative. Could he manage to swing himself out of harm’s way and avoid the bruises and beatings in store, or will he slip up and turn the match over in Haseo’s favour.

The better question on Lt. Surge’s mind was which of them deserved the bonus badges he had. Which of them proved themselves the better fighter? Only time would tell.

The least Vent could do was to get out of the way of some of the attacks and try to survive the onslaught...  Starting with the first set of attacks...
DEX ROLL A: bE7cBaoAp_1d20+2(hit)
DEX ROLL B: p_1d20+2(miss)
DEX ROLL C: p_1d20+2(hit)

Then the second hit...
DEX ROLL D: p_1d20+2(miss)

"That was close, you almost had me there." Vent would say, a chuckle escaping his lips during this.

[Mr. Game & Watch]

As Vent skidded to a halt, following the final slash of Haseo’s blade, the bell struck. The jumbotron displayed in bold text TIME, the crowd erupting in uproarious applause as the two combatants sheathed their blades and stared each other down.

A hand raised, Lt. Surge standing from his throne, commanding silence from the audience. With a brisk pace, he stepped down onto the battlefield. His face was analytical, sunglasses lowered as his vision switched between Vent and Haseo.

“Well, colour me surprised. You two seem to know your way around a blade, no matter what shape it be. The Life Sphere’s lucky to have a couple of you guys around, you’d make for good soldiers. This match has been a lot of back and forth, my mind shifting every minute or so. You guys were really neck and neck, sometimes literally. I like that. It seemed to me that Vent held the most momentum throughout the battle, not gonna lie, halfway through the match, I was convinced he was gonna take it all. However, in terms of style, I think Haseo had it down. That’s an extra badge for each of you.”

Lt. Surge continued to pace between the two of them, hand gripped to his chin. “Usually I give out an extra badge for the combatant who shows the most strategy, but I can’t say that either of you showed more strategy than the other. Just two guys swinging at each other until someone fell. Not a bad strategy, but it won’t win you any wars.”

The militant man pulled a remote from his pocket, punching a few numbers in. His face contorted in annoyance. “Don’t think I much care about Stadium Matches becoming a numbers game, back in the hay day of this coliseum, we trusted the minds of seasoned veterans over a stinking computer, but I guess that’s just the way things are” he grumbled.

The large screen showed an image of Vent and Haseo side by side, numbers rolling wildly underneath. When the numbers stopped, it showed 198 for Vent and 218 for Haseo. Fireworks flared both on screen and beyond, Haseo’s image taking center stage.

Lt. Surge pushed his sunglasses back over his eyes. “And there you have it. Haseo’s proved himself to be the better combatant. This time. I’ll be watching your progress closely, kid. Might make a soldier out of you yet” he added sternly before walking off, allowing the audience to celebrate their hero of the hour.

[Maverick Hunter Zero]

"Even though I lost, good match... Here's hoping that we meet again on the battlefield some day." Vent said, offering a handshake to Haseo for his victory, though it may be a trick of the light, one could seriously tell that Vent was being genuinely graceful, this loss proved he needed to do some more training, he would head back home to where Ciel was.

If Haseo looked carefully, he could swear that he could sense a looming presence in Smash Spirit form lingering around Vent.
