The Bloodied Hands Arena/Link vs Terra: Single Battle

==Spectators==
Lee and Amber sat in the stands watching their brother walk into view. "You think he's gonna win?" Amber asked.
"No clue. He did pretty good last time he was here, though." Lee replied.
Close to Lee and Cassie, Alexia and Schnee sat in the stands alone together, for their friends had more important things things to do. Well, alone wasn't exactly true - a bunch of wildcats sat beside her, members of the Wild Wind Village. They were yelling Terra's name ecstatically.
Alexia spotted Lee and Amber, and she recognized both of them (though she didn't know that the two knew each other). Slowly inching away from the wildcats, while Schnee joined in on their ruckus she sat down in a seat closer to the duo. "Hi, Lee! Hi, Amber! A-Are you two here to watch the fight too?"
"Aqua! Um.. yeah, watching Link fight." Lee said, waving.
"W-Well.... you really shouldn't underestimate Terra. She has a big brain and an air of confidence," Aqua explained, silently hoping that Terra would put up a fight.
"Link's just kinda stubborn." Amber added.
"And sometimes stupid." Lee also added. "What's he doing now?"
Schnee was jumping in her seat, seeing Lee and Amber together and moving closer to them (for she knew both of them, too). "Oh, hey, Lee! Yo, Amber! The two are really giving it some of their everything now, aren't they?" Schnee giggled, ecstatic to watch such an intense fight. "Terra's pretty fast, y'know, but that Link kid seems speedy too."
"He's fast, yeah," Lee answered "Got it from our dad."
Amber laughed. "He's not just fast, he can go ludicrous speed!"
Alexia scratched her eyes, due to both sand getting in them and because she wasn't able to see the combatants' movements. "Wow... your brother and Terra are fast. I-I can't even keep track of the fight!" However, in those rare moments where the two's blows met, Alexia was able to feel a strong impact from the powerful clash.
Schnee shook her head, wondering just how people like Alexia and Mac lived. It's a damn shame that Terra and I don't have any powers. We'd be kicking villains' asses every other day of the week.... twice!
Aqua squealed when Terra lost, and Schnee just shook her head. "Dang it, Terra, you got reckless. Need s'more training, that's what I say." The members of the Wild Wind Village were visibly disappointed, and Schnee turned to face Amber and Lee. "Hey, your friend ain't that bad."
"He's my brother actually.... Umm, give Terra my.. Sorry?" Lee said.
==The Bloodied Battle==
Link walked towards the center of the arena, remembering the time he'd been to the glowing sands before; He smiled, waiting for his opponent to arrive.
Terra inched into the arena, a hint of confidence in her every step. She stopped suddenly, and her claws came out. She looked at her opponent - he looked about two years younger than her, but he didn't look like he'd be easy to defeat. She was only in this because Schnee suggested it to her... but she was still going to impress the members of Team Astro. Taser. Saturn. Satellite. Whatever, they still needed to confirm a team name.
Terra got into a stance as she finally spoke. "We both know why we're here," she said to Link, tensing her leg muscles. "Neither of us have much to say, I assume. I hope that you will not take me as a fool and go easy on me."
"Trust me, lady, I go easy on you... it means something's wrong with me." Link said, dropping into a running position, every muscle tensed.
"Hope this fighter's easier than the last one" Link thought to himself, his memory of the last fight here was a blaze of fire and darkness.
With that thought finished, Terra burst at Link, claws out and prepared to attack. She was going in for a headbutt, and if it hit, she would deliver a combo of scratches from her claw. Can't start easy... I'm going to go all-out from the start to see if I can beat him quickly!
Link smirked as Terra ran at him, standing there until she was within attack range, which is when he jumped over her." Sorry, miss, can't catch me like that!" He dashed to the far side of the arena, charging for a move similar to Terra's.
Terra did not cease her attack. When he jumped over her, she quickly turned around and followed him while he was dashing, aiming a grab to his ankle to stop him from running. If the grab landed, she would spin around quickly as if she were a living Beyblade and throw to to the other side of the arena.
The grip connected, but Link managed to ball up before hitting the far wall, leaving him and it undamaged.
"Nice! Now it's on!" Link shouted, running the long way on the arena walls, aiming for another attack from behind.
He doesn't look like the smartest, but still, I must be prepared just in case he tries to think of a trick to pull off. Terra got into a defensive stance once again, preparing for whatever Link's attack was going to be like. If he ran within her range, she'd aim a claw-punch at his face.
He rushed her, attempting to slide on the ground under her attack. Terra would then jump forward before he could hit her from behind, knowing that if she stayed around that area, she'd be hit. She landed ten meters behind him, keeping him away from her and getting into a defensive stance once again once again. He's very aggressive... I'll have to find a way to exploit that.
Unsure of what just happened, Link just sort of blinked while events straightened in his head. He spun to Terra, ready if she tried anything but preparing his own moves. Terra just stood there, wondering why he wasn't moving. She stared at him for a couple of seconds, engaging him in a staring contest.
Link decided to use her distraction, bracing his foot behind a small pile of sand and getting ready to make his move. As soon as he moved, however, Terra lunged at him again, trying to tackle him in an attempt to pin him down for a reckless and risky move. Link kicked the sand towards her face, following it up with his spin kick.
Terra was blinded temporarily and the kick landed on her back. However, she landed on her hands and jumped in the air using her hands as feet and landed on her legs, spinning around, blasting the sand around the arena at Link and firing multiple powerful gusts of wind with pure force in an attempt to defend herself.
Link was thrown by the gusts but pulled his scarf over his nose to keep the sand out. Managing to grip the ground and he flew farther away. Terra stopped suddenly and bolted to Link, aiming a claw-punch, but this time she was much faster. The punch nailed his scarf as he tried to dodge, dragging him along Terra's warpath. Once Terra realized that she had caught his scarf, she stopped and spun around rapidly before launching Link at the wall. Link pressed his feet against the wall, using it to spring back at Terra, balling up to make the attack even deadlier.
Terra limbo-ducked backwards, causing Link's attack to miss her... almost. It barely grazed her chin, weak but managing to draw a small amount of blood. What...? He's fast! I'll have to find a way to catch him, then - he's a living spring!!
He landed on the far side, his momentum finally used up, and spun around. "Seriously? This lady's barely putting any resistance, guess she's not much for defense." Link thought to himself just as Terra started running circles around him. She wasn't Kennedy or Mackenzie - she didn't make afterimages appear, but she was still really fast. Link stood his ground, turning just fast enough to watch Terra make her circles. "What's she doing?" Right in the middle of his mental question, Terra lunged at him again, claws out but this time, she had a backup plan. I don't have any powers or weapons.... I'll have to manage for now.
Link bent backwards, standing on his hands and using his feet, along with Terra's momentum to throw her over him and perform a backflip to an upright position. However, Terra presented her backup plan - she used her tail to grapple onto Link's leg, threatening to send them both flying. Link, realizing the danger, jumped as hard as he could, attempting to slam Terra into the ground. Terra was slammed to the ground at extremely dangerous speeds, but she Spin Dashed in order to take Link down with her. He Spin Dashed right with her move, wondering if ti would cause the combo dash he'd heard about.
They started to go round and round in circles, creating a cyclone of sand around them. Knowing that if it continued, if would get extremely dangerous, Terra let got of Link's leg, sending her flying forward into the sand, out of the cyclone. Link just sort of went flying in a random direction, dazed by the impact.
Terra turned around, quickly shook her head as to regain focus and lunged at Link while he was in his daze, claws out once again and Spin Dashing for a Spin-Claw combo.
The attack knocked Link further away, shocking him awake. Terra lunged at him again, aiming for a follow-up, but an extremely reckless one. Link grunted loudly, doing his upward spinning kick as best he could. Terra was launched upwards, but then she came right back down for a full-power body slam.
Link rolled over, dodging the slam. It looked quite comical to the onlookers as Terra faceplanted into the sand, feeling tired but her pride not going to let her give up. Urgh... Gain control of yourself, Terra. You're going to look like a reckless fool in front of the villagers. Terra grunted, slowly getting back on her feet, having too much willpower in her. Link jumped to his feet, simply waiting once again. Terra, like before, just stood there, attempting to wait him out for his next attack.
Link, deciding Terra wasn't going to attack, rushed her, trying a sliding kick to knock her off-balance. Terra jumped right above them before jumping off the back of her head, using the recoil to deal more damage. Link took the hit HARD and went careening several feet backwards. As soon as Terra landed, she quickly turned around to Spin Dash at the back of Link's head and send him into the wall. He spun in mid-air, performing a homing attack right at her Spin Dash. Terra bounced back a few moments after their Dash Clash, rolling in the sand, injured.
Harumph, I'm going to need a new strategy, Terra thought, getting up and huffing. Link landed roughly far from her, getting ready for another go. Terra was catching her breath, but she still lunged at Link at low-moderate speeds, trying to tackle him and pin him down. Link blurred, phasing to behind Terra and trying a helicopter kick that landed and sent Terra into the air. Terra grunted as she Spin Dashed down in order to crush Link. He balled up, resulting in a cartoonish bouncy ball moment. Terra was off, however, and she landed right next to the balled-up Link, bouncing before unraveling herself. The sand parted as she landed, and she was nearly knocked out.
Link pondered it for a moment before deciding to finish the round, going in for another attack. His hit landed, knocking Terra out and blasting her into the wall, even cracking it. The now-unconscious Terra fell from the wall and faceplanted into the sand, tired and defeated.
Link raised his right fist to the sky in victory.
