There Can Be Only One, The Face of Evil Arrives!

The clean up is finally over, those in need of medical attention have received. The next match is about to be under way as the show must go on. This is shaping up to be a champion's tournament not for the faint of heart.

" W welcome back ladies and gentlemen. We have another round of our tournament to get under way."

"Kumano, Master Yamabushi pleas make your appearance." In a whirlwind of flames a figure made his way to the stand. Kicks and flips with flashes of a sword is all anyone could see through the flames. Then they died down as the figure stood still. It was Kumano himself showing impressive command of red magic.
Kumano, Master Yamabushi
A roar of cheers from the crowd every being impressed by the skill level of magic just shown to them by Kumano. " Very impressive Kumano."

"Now our next combatant seems to be confused. He believes he is none other than.....Nicol Bolas." the crowd gasps in fear many looking around for the evil dragon. Bolas is a very well known evil planeswalking dragon with incredible amounts of mana at will.

"Calm down everyone, there is no reason Bolas him self would really be here.  But for now let us pretend he is Bolas shall we? Now welcome 'Nicol Bolas' !"

The sun began to be covered by a large figure, the stadium went dark. There's a loud roar and a spine crawling chuckle echoing in the darkness. A giant golden dragon stood tall before everyone, curved horns evil smile it...it is him! Bolas is here! The crowd screams in nothing but terror everyone starting to run for their lives! With a wave of his giant claw, everyone stopped and was forced back into their seats.
Nicol Bolas
" Come now...No one wishes to watch me destroy this mortal? Not even a glimmer of hope he could... Haha, he could beat me?" the dragon spoke very deeply and calmly.
" Sit and enjoy the show.." continued Bolas.

" V...Very well. Uhm w...warriors CLASH!"

Nicol Bolas is the first to make a pressence on the battlefield. Summoning forth his Fog Bank and showing a hint of amusement in his eyes. Kumano starred into them unsure what he will do against this powerful and evil dragon.

Kumano attempts to keep his calm casting out his Splitting Earth spell to destroy Fog Bank. That was a some what lucky move. Everyone knows that much is true. Kumano is facing the most feared being in the multiverse, this will not be an easy battle win or lose. A sinister smile forms on the face of evil as he makes more mana. Clearly toying with his pray he watches for Kumano's next move to unfold.

Kumano summons out his Viashino Sandscout and is sent forth to attack Bolas. The minor points of damage hit and it is returned back to Kumano. Things seem to be looking ok for Kumano right now. He has mana and has done some damage to Bolas. Maybe he isn't as powerful as everyone believes him to be?
Viashino Sandscout
" Ah, such a feeble attempt at an attack. Mortal you will have to do much greater than that if you wish to even put up a fight against me. " boasted the dragon glowing in the shadow he was casting. Bolas then sends forth his Disruptive Pitmage marking the beginning of his powerful counter magic. The dragon is the oldest and craftiest being known alive. His knowledge of magic is extensive, Kumano will have to be on guard from her on out now.
Disruptive Pitmage
"F...Folks it seems like this battle is starting to heat up some. B.. Bolas is showing his pressence alone is enough to take your breath away... How can Kumano hope to win this battle?" Everyone watches in terror forced in their seats by the dragon. All wishing they could run for their very lives.

Kumano summons his ancient artifact, Dragon's Claw. It is all he can do for the time being. That Pitmage will be a problem till he has more mana to get around it for his bigger spells. It is a small victory for him but a victory none the less.

" Bolas. You are a truly terrifying evil and must be stopped. If it is my destiny I will defeat you and end your terror here!" Kumano proudly states, facing this evil with pride and hope of victory.

" A touching speach mortal, but it will take more than bold words to defeat me. Taste the power of my Nightscape Familiar and Hissing Iguanar then tell me how you feel about destiny." boasts the dragon again. Standing tall in the sun light his golden scales blinding those caught behind him.

Stranglehold is sent out by Kumano.
"This should stall the dragon more than enough. He can't prevent my damage and he cant search for any truly deadly spells as long as I control this. " thinks Kumano.
Stranglehold
Another grin forms on Bolas. Then one some of Kumano's mana is destroyed! Wrecking Ball. A devastating blow for Kumano. In this battle mana is everything and losing any of it can spell the end fast.

" Go Familiar and Inguanar. Say hello to your prey and taste his blood." instructs Bolas.

Kumano is trapped. He needed that mana desperately. Now he has a no spells to play with that dreaded Pitmage just sitting there ready to counter a spell he might sling out. Another attack from Bolas. Things are looking grim. Another mana is generated and finally he can do something!

" What is Kumano going to do now folks? He actually has more mana than Bolas himself!"
The eyes of the crowd go to Kumano, each showing hope and begging for Kumano to win this match.

"Go golem. Take my form and defend me from this evil."  the golem stands tall and takes the form of it's master. It isn't a back breaking move but it will protect his life points for some time at least. Bolas was up to no good again. Not attacking this time but instead calculating his next move to destroy his prey. Kumano interupts that whole process though.

Using his special powers, Kumano destroys all of the creatures Bolas commands. This clears the way for him to attack the dragon yet again. Bolas only builds his mana up staring at his prey with anticipation of the next few moves. Kumano is now in desperation mode. He sends forth the Sandscout and now Rorix Bladewing all in for an attack!

A staggering amount of damage has been dealt to the dragon! Everyone is in shock. Kumano might actually have a chance at beating this monster. Maybe he is beatable! The dragon only grins more chuckling at the attempts to bring him down. Vessel of Endless Rest comes forth providing more power for the ultimate evil. Again Kumano is free to attack and charges right into the battle sensing he can take down the dragon.

" Wow things are getting pretty tense now folks. I believe that Bolas will be done fore in just a few more attacks!" the crowd starts to cheer chanting for Kunamo's victory at hand.

Things get silent fast though. Bolas unleashes a powerful spell known as Killing Wave to clear every creature from battle. A minor set back for Kumano, as he just casts out his golem again.

" You are persistant mortal but your resistance is pointless. I will be the Victor in the end. " gloats Bolas. A few spells trigger for Bolas building his mana up even more now in full command of what will happen next. Kumano suspects nothing but will soon realize the terror that awaits him.

Kumano charges in for an attack and then uses all of his mana to put an end to this once and for all. Fireball! A giant ball of fire is hurled towards the dragon the crowd cheers believing it's over. Kumano has beaten the ultimate evil! He will forever be a legend now. But wait the ball of fire has disintigrated before their eyes. A skin crawling chuckle bursts out.
FireballOutwit
" You thought that was my end mortals?! Ha, Outwit is an ancient spell that stopped your fireball dead in its tracks. " Bolas roars in laughter.

Faced with this reality, Kumano looks at pure fear. Cruel Ultimatum again clears the battle field shifting the battle back to the favor of Bolas. Kumano is unable to make another move after this. Left with no answers to anything Bolas can cast. Nicol Bolas gathers his mana, surging and glowing from his power. His golem starts to march into battle but is quickly devoured by the dragon. The crowd watches in horror as the dragon chomps the golem in half and gulps the rest of it down with another chomp.
Cruel Ultimatum
" There is no need for that pest. I will face you myself not some golem." growled the dragon. standing even taller now that he is on the battle field. Kumano gets ready to face this next hurtle with the best he can manage.

Wild Colos and Rapacious One both make their way into battle attempting to defend their master against this evil. Painful Quandry comes out to continue the control from Bolas. The dragon gathers flames in its mouth and unleashes a devastating ball of fire towards Kumano. Kumano continues to stand tall. he sends forth his Rapacious One into battle attempting to deal damage to the dragon again.

" There is still hope folks. The evil that is Nicol Bolas could very well still fall before our eyes."

This is nothing more than hopeful words as they will soon realize. Another terrifying attack from Bolas and now he has split his powers tapping into his planeswalker spark. Now things have taken an even worse turn for Kumano.  Everyone can sense the end is near.

"You have been an amusing prey mortal..But it's time I end this game of ours. Burn in the flames of my might!" the evil dragon opens his jaws gathering his fire..

Another fireball hurls towards Kumano dealing the final blow for this battle. Bolas flaps his mighty wings and flies off into the skies leaving Kumano on fire.

" H He has defeated Kumano ladies and gentlemen. This.....This means the ultimate evil, Nicol Bolas has advanced to the next round..." With his absence everyone screams and runs for the lives unsure if they wish to continue sitting through this tournament....
