Jesse Vs. Lena (Training Assignment #1) *Jesse emerges victorious*

As we both embark on this new path, Lena, the sun rises upon a new battle. As partners we once were, now we are enemies, even in training. It's the tragic tale that plays out most partnerships. In the end, you always must stand alone against a rising tide of determination from a co-star and antagonist, just as life plays through its script.

Life Gauge: 500 points


Let us both step into this warming spotlight, and face each other in a battle deserving of legend, fair Lena.

Leave it to you to make this more dramatic than it needs to be.

LIFE GAUGE: 500 POINTS


It seems like we just can't get away from each other.

We are placed upon the same platform, as allies and rarely as fated enemies. Even heroes need to clash with their own at times. This keeps the tale suspenseful and entertaining to the audience. Let the spotlight shine upon us both, facing each other in a brawl of fateful tragedy from opposing sides. What say you, Lena?

Paralysis Venom: When an Ability is played that allows his effect to be activated, Phosphos strikes one opponent's Bakugan with a venom that prevents it from activating Ability Cards for the duration of the round unless the Ability Card used to activate this effect is negated. This effect can only be activated by an Ability Card three times per brawl. Once the three chances are used, the Ability Card neglects the Paralysis Venom effect entirely.

Just a tragic turn in the tale that is battle. Every hero has the comebacks and every hero has the downfalls. Which shall be my fate is unclear. Let the show go on.

Phosphos 900 Vs. Plitheon 900

You may have the first move, fair Lena. Begin this fatal dance of battle with elegance and majesty, would you?

Well, if you insist.

Abiliy, Activate! Tri-Viper!

164. Tri-Viper:
Class: Attack
Effect:
- Allows your Phosphos Bakugan to use the effect of Paralysis Venom. In addition, allows that Phosphos to decrease an opponent's Bakugan's Power Level total by 300 points. During the first round of the Brawl only, increase that Phosphos' Power Level by 300 points in addition to the opponent's decrease.
- Increases your Phosphos' Attack Force by 3 points.

Unfortunately, due to this being the first round of the brawl, I'm unable to activate the Paralysis Venom portion of this card. However, I do get the special 300 increase to Phosphos' Power Level.

770 points of damage is headed straight for Plitheon.

There's no point starting, if you don't start it strong.

Now, Lena, it's only respectful to make the plot increase gradually and not rush the script. You aren't attempting to leave the audience with a failing climax, are you? The sun rises in due time, and the sun sets in due time. Winter follows the fall and summer follows the spring. It's the natural flow of nature, just as battle should flow justly and with pace.

During the first round of the Brawl only, allows that Phosphos Bakugan to neutralize an opponent's most recent Attack-Class Ability Card played.
- Increases your Phosphos' Attack Force by 3 points.

It would seem that I finally get to use Paralysis Venom. I've long awaited this moment. In case you need clarification, this means that Plitheon has been infected with Phosphos' venom. As I speak, it seeps deeper and deeper into Plitheon, rendering the Bakugan disabled. Simply put, you cannot play any abilities.

How does it feel, having your Bakugan infected with such a lethal poison?

As a tree slowly withers in the fall, it is reborn in the spring, lush and full of life. Your Venom, fair Lena, is nothing Plitheon and I cannot combat.

Stat Sacrifice: Finally, there is also the last-resort move known as "Stat Sacrifice", which allows a player to reduce their own Bakugan's Strength, Intelligence, or Agility stat (whichever number is highest) to 0, in order to negate an opponent's Bakugan's special effect. This move can only be used once per round, per player. It's a brand new, optional addition to the move-set, not unlike attacking Bakugan Traps individually in Bakugan Hyperspace (New Vestroia). The "Stat Sacrifice" tactic is designed specifically for countering the special effects of Bakugan which have been, until now, irreversible.

I will need to lower my Agility Stat to zero, in order to cleanse Plitheon of your vile Venom, and render him able to use abilities, yet again.

As that was the only move I could make against Phosphos, Plitheon does feel the sting of Phosphos' attack.

Class: Gate Card
Effect: This card ends the current round with the difference in Power Level being dealt to the owner of the Bakugan with the lower Power Level as Life Gauge damage (the overall damage is still divided by the defeated Bakugan's Defense, as normal).

Fair Lena, since I have read your profile as well as my own, I can see for myself that negating the Gate Card is out of reach for you. Just as a human tries to reach for the stars, without success, you cannot reach far enough in this instance. There is nothing you can do as the Gate Card is brought to completion, and the curtain falls over us both, signaling the end.

Upon the situation of a timed performance, the methods we all much take must be ones of the sly thief or cunning assassin. The sun pulls away and the curtains fall, leaving us only awaiting our respective exits and morals and lessons learned.

I had great enjoyment in brawling you, Lena. Perhaps we can brawl again sometime in the future, if our paths cross again on the battlefield someday.
