SummonerMan was relieved that his plan had worked so well. Rose was as well.
"It may not have gotten him any closer to winning..." She thought. "But it's keeping him from losing."
SummonerMan was more concerned with his regained mobility than furthering his thoughts of success. All the same he wore a smug grim, once more, as he sent himself into action.
The Nurse had set straight to healing him as he stood, and continued to bandage him with the disappearing electronic bandage as SummonerMan took her hand. Holding his shield in one hand, and his Nurse in the other, he ran to close to the wall he was behind. He held the shield, elbow cocked, in order to defend himself against attacks from behind.
Once he hit the wall, he dropped the shield and pushed the Nurse against the wall. Bracing his own back against the wall, he pulled out yet another summoning card as his Nurse stopped bandaging him and took the hint to push herself against the wall.
SummonerMan, assuming his opponent would quickly be rushing back up to finish the job he'd started, was acting defensively. He wanted to prevent surprises, which would be all he had should he sit around and wait for his opponent to hop up from one of the holes.
Dashing the card to the ground, very close to his feet, a wall was formed. This wall was his usual kind of construction; sturdy in appearance, and decently large. It would scarcely survive a strong blow, but it would block his opponents straight on shots. It also locked the Nurse and SummonerMan into a very thin space, perhaps a bit over a foot in width.
From this space he planned to launch his counter attack. He had it all planned out. "The idiot's a melee ranged fighter. He'll have to close in on me to attack. And I've just limited him to two very thin points of access." He thought, as he requested another chip from Rose.
She sent the chip he had requested and guessed as to what he was doing. She didn't really feel strongly about it, as unlike the defenses they'd pursued this far, this one was riskier, but she consented all the same.
SummonerMan pulled out the card and lifted it over his head. "Now all I have to do is use a turn up the heat a bit to flush him out!" He thought enthusiastically as he activated the card. He directed the fiery energy in both directions. It followed the thin path and a bit beyond, allowing fire to blast forth from the ground and straight vertically.
SummonerMan looked at his line of flaming walls with glee. "Sure, it may not be going as far, but it goes both ways. Besides, it'll get around that Damn shield of his, coming from the bottom like that." He grimaced, in a manner rather self satisfied.
SummonerMan looked around quickly as he considered what he'd need to do next. Rose figured that he could still use some healing, so she sent him a Recov50, the second of their four.
SummonerMan activated the energy immediately, and felt relieved. He himself had been planning on going on the offensive, but as nice as an attack would be right now, he would appreciate being in peak condition when he began fighting.
Rose shared this sentiment, hence the recovery chip. "Besides," she thought, "Voulge is a melee specialist. We may deserve the win, but I must concede the advantage to Voulge when it comes to close range fighting."

As Summonerman kept his shield up and retreated to the hematite barrier behind him, Voulge again made the field even more inhospitable for his enemy by covering a third of the lower floor with lava. Summonerman placed nurse and himself in front of the damaged barrier and summoned a new wall to protect them both. He then shielded up and jumped to the upper level as Summonerman was healed by his Nurse summon and sent out several pillars of fire out in all directions. Voulge's earthen shield was vaporized by the heat, but blue energy barrier protected the armored Navi from the heat and flames.
Voulge remained determined and countered with a fiery blast from his Gunlance, which burst through the wall and hit both Summonerman and his nurse. The flames were just too much for the summon, and it dissolved into bits of data. A bomb soon followed, and Summonerman just wasn't able to get out of the way in time. The blast heavily damaged the Navi and destroyed the hematite barrier, but he managed to heal enough to keep himself in the fight.

Voulge kept his Lancea in the Gunlance form and looked around the battlefield with a swift glimpse. Seeing that the nurse was deleted from his last assault, SummonerMan was finally alone and vulnerable. Also, the navi's Signature system still had some time before complete cooldown to summon another set. The lavas were placed just underneath the navi as well, limiting the escaping option. Marius saw exactly what his navi did and looked at Rose, eye to eye. "We had our self a good match. Your navi withheld Voulge's strength for a good measure, but it's all over. VOULGE!" With only two chips in his hand, he slotted them in one next to the other in a blink of an eye and pointed his finger straight at SummonerMan.
"For the pride of Guisarme!"
"And the infinite Justice!"
BGM
The two shouted out one of their academy chants with the top of their lungs, loud enough to startle some of the spectators. However, as energetic as they were, Voulge didn't move from his spot. He placed his other hand over the Gunlance and the shape shifted it into a stubby, double barrel Gunlance. Fidgeting the new Gunlance for a few seconds, the chamber popped open and the magazine clip slid out and landed onto the navi's hand. Voulge reached into his Brigandine once more and took the same Fireknife from before. With a firm grip over its handle, the knife was covered in flame and morphed in a shape of a shining red bullet. The navi looked into the Gunlance's chamber and saw there was a single, thick bullet. It was the cannon chip that was loaded when the Gunlance was transformed. So Voulge took the magazine clip, loaded the Fireknife bullet inside, slid it into the gun, and cocked the hammer back.
Finally prepared for the battle, the navi placed the Gunlance on his back and started to dash towards SummonerMan. There was a chance that the navi decided to hide underneath one of the barricades, or possibly dive down to the lavas, just so he can save himself. Voulge kept his eyes out for any movement or sign of SummonerMan and headed towards his enemy quickly.
Possibly in range to his enemy, Voulge raised both his arms up in the air and a gigantic wooden log materialized on hand. It was hefty, but Voulge lifted it up like it was nothing but a light weight. The navi didn't waste any time and hurled the Ringlog straight at his enemy. The log tumbled and stopped at its track, either from hitting against SummonerMan or the coliseum's wall.
Voulge didn't stop his attack and decided to use the Ringlog once more by hurling a throwing knife attached to a thin, durable chain. The knife landed on to the log with a dull thud and the chain tightened as Voulge tugged it. Voulge wrapped the chain around his right hand and quickly pulled it towards him. The Ringlog flew towards the navi in mid-air, almost in slow motion, and Voulge dropped the chain and prepared his Gunlance. When the log was only few feet away, the Gunlance was drawn back with both hands and Voulge swung the weapon against the Ringlog, sending it towards his enemy once more with disastrous speed.
Voulge took a quick second to catch a breath and raised his Gunlance with his right arm and looked through the iron sight. "Let's finish right now!" With a simple pull of the trigger, the two barrels blazed with a giant muzzle flash and two barrels fired the bullets almost simultaneously. The red bullet transformed back to the flaming knife, but due to the transformation, it slowed down and fell short to the Cannon bullet, delaying the impact for about half a second.

SummonerMan realized that he was in danger of losing, and was startled by this shocking fling to reality.
"Dammit." he thought, as all his defenses were blown away and his last ally was destroyed. "I could actually lose this thing if I don't get moving."
He swore in his mind slightly as this reality faced him, and received a barrier chip from his Operator.
SummonerMan sighed inaudibly as he received yet another flimsy defense. But the realization that he wasn't winning made him more willing to accept it.
Rose turned her attention to the battle. Anger had swelled up inside of her upon hearing Marius' cocky statement, but she decided that she'd rather prove him wrong than state him to be so.
SummonerMan got ready. He pulled card he had just requested from Rose out of thin air, holding them within his hand beneath his cloak. He then began running at Voulge.
The enemy Navi may have been more than a match for him in melee combat, but he had no where near the strategic prowess of the purple clad Summoner. With a thought, SummonerMan dissolved the first of the three cards, and felt its energy flow through him. At that moment SummonerMan disappeared, fading out of existence in the blink of an eye.
While Voulge would be left clueless as to what had happened, SummonerMan would take advantage of his momentary advantage. He reappeared soundlessly, planning to be behind his opponent within the very same blink.
As SummonerMan's feet hit the floor, he flung the second of his two cards at Voulge's feet with a strong flick of the wrist. As soon as the card left his hand, SummonerMan took a small leap backwards, touching down a meter or two away. As soon as the card hit a target, it exploded violently.
From within the card sprang strings of sticky substance, wrapping themselves around anything they came into contact with. The speed of these webs was enough to whip them out, causing significant pain to whatever it came into contact with. The card had soon released a sticky web covering and entrapping everything in a small area, which SummonerMan hoped included his opponent.
"With a flick of the wrist, I could trap my enemy, helpless, to the floor." he thought as he dissolved the last card, allowing it's healing energies to flow through him. He glared at his opponent with a determined look, though from behind it wouldn't have been visible. "Just think of what I could do to such a helpless target with a few more."

1. Barrier on self [10 HP Barrier around SummonerMan]

((Edit: The Phalanx Aspis protects only from one side, so Summonerman's WhiteWeb1 did 40dmg to Voulge, who in turn had 15HP regenerated))
Voulge prepared his Gunlance and began to charge towards his opponent as Summonerman erected a weak barrier over his body. They ran directly towards eachother, but Summonerman suddenly disappeared! Voulge had his ringlog prepared and was already throwing as Summonerman warped away. The log rolled away and bounced off the wall of the arena as Summonerman threw a card at the armored Voulge. The card exploded with a sticky web that covered Voulge's legs. The web started to harden immediately, but he still had the mobility to keep up his attack. Voulge flung the log back towards himself with a knife-tipped chain. He jumped over the log as it thundered past. With a loud crack, the log broke in half over Summoner's barrier.
The barrier quickly fell, and it provided no protection against the large fire-imbued projectile fired at him from Voulge's gunlance. However, a smaller, more local barrier prevented the bullet from passing through Summonerman's chest and destroying him in one shot. Summonerman dissolved his last card and managed to give himself some more energy.

Voulge couldn't help but to feel distressed about his current situation. He knew he had the advantage, yet, SummonerMan wasn't going to go down so easily. Last attack should have finished him off, but the undershirt NCP prevented such thing from happening and SummonerMan has been continuously restoring his wounds. To make it worse, his opponent can now summon another set of his goons and Voulge was helplessly stuck on his feet. His back was wide open and Voulge immediately smashed his Gunlance's Bayonet against the ground; causing shards of cements to explode everywhere and form into a tightly packed shield. The shield floated right by Voulge and positioned near the navi's back, just in case SummonerMan decides to attack at that direction.
If Marius' prediction was correct, SummonerMan would immediately start attacking with all he has against the Voulge, just like what he himself did before. The operator just had to place his faith onto the earthly shield to hold off the attack for just a little bit and allow Voulge for a quick counterattack. Marius slid out a single HeatShot into the PET and shouted towards his navi. "Voulge, forget about the webbings on your leg for now! Just attack!" From the look of it, Voulge already knew what he had to do and instantaneously prepared the Gunlance. Loading the gun in a blink of an eye and twisting his body as much as he could, he took the monstrous weapon with both hands and started to search for SummonerMan. "Understood!"
Without looking twice, Voulge fired his HeatShot at the slightest hint of SummonerMan's position. The Gunlance didn't fire the usual scatter shot of fireballs, but it was a single, spear like, stream of fire that was launched at his target. Suddenly, Voulge had thought, what if SummonerMan casted his sets of Summons to defend himself? But after another quick thought, he knew the HeatShot was strong enough to melt through even the toughest of SummonerMan's summons; Voulge knew that his attack wouldn't go to waste if it was to miss.
Now turning his focus onto himself, he needed to rid himself from the webbing to make sure he wasn't a sitting duck for a little longer. Rather than simply cutting and clearing with his lance, he thought up a better substitution. Voulge faced the western side of the platform, where the lavas were, and directly stabbed his Lancea into the ground. As usual, the grounds cracked and the upper area was filled with more of the dangerous magmas. Voulge had confidence that the heat from the lavas would be enough to burn the webbings, while limiting SummonerMan's mobility at the same time. Two birds with one stone.
Voulge pulled his legs out of the trap, breaking the hardened webbing into white dusts that burned into the lavas, and immediately charged towards SummonerMan. While he was running, Marius prepared two more chips and slotted it into the PET one by one. "Voulge, with these chips, you should be able to reach SummonerMan without too much trouble. Don't waste it carelessly, you need to put these precisely or else!".The navi didn't respond at all, but Marius knew that Voulge clearly heard what he said and nodded. Turning his attention towards Rose once more, Marius crossed his arms and tried to start another conversation, "So, Rose. What do you plan from achieving from this tournament? I'm just curious of how a young reporter like yourself would do if you were to become famous champion. Wouldn't it be awkward to interview yourself?". He tried to break into a small joke, but he was sure that Rose wasn't going to even break up a smirk. "I can say that I tried."
Voulge was now nearing his opponent and gripped onto his weapon tightly with his right. Without a doubt, SummonerMan would be hiding behind something: The hematite barrier, a shield, even his own summon. But he was sure he would reach his opponent, no matter what was in his way. Reaching into his ever versatile Brigandine, he took out a regular throwing knife and imbued it with the battlechip he received not so long ago. The color of the dagger's blade became sky blue and it was wrapped in visible winds that constantly swirled around. Voulge didn't waste a second to throw the dagger straight at SummonerMan, or anything that was in between his target and him. Strangely, when the dagger was nearing its target, it didn't stick, but rather exploded in a giant burst of gust that could've easily blown away anything.
"This is it!! BE GONE!"
While he was running, Voulge stabbed the Lancea into the ground and continued to head towards his opponent. Placing all his energy into his right arm, the gauntlet turned from brilliant silver into a bright orange that barely maintained its shape from its heat. Now only couple of feet away, Voulge leaped towards SummonerMan, with his fist firmly positioned right next to him, and launched a quick, fierce jab right towards the chest. The gauntlet was set on flame as it traveled that short distance and Voulge placed all his might into that single punch.

SummonerMan prepared himself for the final stretch. He sent Rose his chip demands, which she complied to immediately.
"Looks like you called your victory a bit early." Rose said with a smile. "We're not down quite yet!" she continued, with determination leaking into her voice.
SummonerMan activated the first card instantly, running towards his opponents exposed backside. A shield was on his arms, blocking his front from oncoming assaults, and holding a dangerous surprise for his opponent should he attempt anything successfully. Breeze due to speed found itself diverted around his shield, the sense of rush accentuated by the sound of the air.
SummonerMan continued in, approaching ever closer. Like an animal, he needed to be within snapping distance of his prey. Unlike most animals, his cunning and stealth didn't demand silence; they demanded a snide remark and the smug satisfaction of gloating. "Sorry, Torch, but it looks like our little brawl is coming to a close." SummonerMan said, very obviously without a tone of regret.
Upon reaching his opponent, he activated his second card. A flaming dagger appeared in his grip, and he drove it with a large deal of strength right at his opponents back, hoping to pierce deeply. A connecting blow was just what a victor needed, and SummonerMan had yet to receive one. What better way to turn the tide, to turn the momentum, then with a devastating attack? "I'm not going down without a fight;" the purple clad fighter said, as he pulled his arm back up and struck out again, trying to keep hold of and capitulate on his momentum, "And your not going to come out anything near a clean winner." The blow fell, and upon getting wherever it was getting, SummonerMan released it. The dagger had served its use, and one attack could only work for so long. He moved to a new strategy, and, he hoped, what would be a finishing blow.
He pulled out his last card and activated it, too. He took a short step backwards as a bomb launched from the card and at his nearby opponent. "You're ending this match dead or close to, regardless of the results. And either way, we're going out with a bang." The bomb would hit something: the terrain, his opponent, some sort of barrier. And when it did, it would spread its scathing flames all over. These kinds of flames that didn't just singe once like a normal explosion; they burned. Such an explosion would not only validate the cocky fighter's words, but they could very well win him the match. With the tense air on the field, SummonerMan couldn't afford anything less then acute, deft strikes, and that was what he had delivered.
Rose, meanwhile, ignored the tense ambience for but a moment and answered her foe quite simply as their navis tried their best to kill eachother. "Publicity." She said, pleasantly. "And besides, everyone wants to win. I'm a NetBattler, too." With a quick darting of the eyes she had attempted to make eye contact with her opponent, letting him know she cared and was polite. It was only fleeting, though, as she had very pressing matters to deal with on the field.
She awaited the results before returning her opponent's gesture, and granting them a "nice match." She was far from overtly suspicious, but she didn't want to jinx it all the same. "Besides," she thought, "It would look foolish on camera."

Summonerman charged towards the ensnared Navi, guard shield in hand and ready to attack. Voulge reacted quickly by firing a heatshot from his Gunlance, but the attack bounced harmlessly off Summonerman's guard and some of the flames were deflected back at him. Voulge proceeded to burn the webbing from himself by changing the floor into lava, and tried to keep his distance from the constant assault of Summonerman's fireknife. The first attack was blocked by his earthen shield, but the second struck his chest. Voulge retaliated with an airburst knife that sent Summonerman flying into the adjacent wall. Voulge went in for the kill and delivered a fiery blow to Summonerman's chest. His undershirt managed to save him from deletion, but as he fell from the wall, all he had to land on was a blanket of lava. His emergency jack out program activated just before he hit the lava, and was beamed back into his PET.

Standing on top of the boiling lava, Voulge simply looked at where SummonerMan once stood. He tugged his chain, which pulled the Lancea into his hand, and proceeded to stab the weapon to the ground once more. The blade of the spear literally swallowed the magmas and left nothing but the heavily charred field. Voulge lowered his head, closed his eyes, and gave a moment of silence. "...You were a worthy opponent."

Marius gave out a breath of relief and let out a small smile. Looking towards Rose, he felt somewhat guilty for defeating a girl that was at least 3-4 years younger than himself. With that same smile, Marius tried to approach the operator with his right hand in front. "We had a good match. You almost had me worried when you caught Voulge in a surprise attack...". Marius tried to find a good way to end this conversation, but truthfully, he wasn't the best smooth talker out there.
Just ending his conversation abruptly, Marius checked his PET once more, "Will you look at the time. I still have some time before the 2nd round begins." He put his right hand in front again, trying to show friendly gesture, and nodded his head. "Let's meet again sometimes. I'm sure Voulge would be willing to do so. You remember my e-mail account right? Contact me through it if you want to see me."
Marius plugged Voulge out of the Colosseum and began to walk out...

Rose was rather depressed to have lost, but she didn't beat herself up over it. "I can't believe it's over..." She thought, as she looked up from the terminal, her eyes somewhat watery. "But I can't let it get to me, I have to keep composure. Think about the audience."
She walked over to Voulge and made an attempt at a smile. "Thanks, you too." She said, as he commented on her nice battling.
"Wait, already?" She said, as he hurried off. "Wouldn't you like to-" She began, but the man was already gone. "exchange e-mails or something. . ." She finished to herself, looking down now. "Though I guess I can just swipe them from the registration thread."
Looking back at the cameras, she realized something else. "And he left without saying goodbye. Or giving me a congratulatory handshake. " She continued, shaking her head. "That wasn't very polite."
Feeling somewhat dejected, now, and realizing that she'd look desperate or strange if she remained any longer, she hurried over to claim her prize. She grabbed the suspiciously non-object chip, as opposed to the zenny, thinking it would certianly be of good use. "At least until we have some nicer healing items. Those Recov50s we had in the battle were real life savers. And I do think they're worth more than 1000 zenny, anyway." Moving out of the room, she waved at the cameras once more, in case they were still filming, and made one last, trying smile, before disappearing out of the room.
SummonerMan remained silent throughout.
