It was like something out of a dream. For years, Garsot had always wondered and fantasized about what it would be like to do battle against characters from the imagined worlds that he spent a lot of time playing in. It was all so surreal...like it wasn't even there, but the pain from fighting took that idea out of his head really fast. He and JD had fought through the first two rounds of the first stage, which had always been the forest stage, giving the two fighters various opponents including bandits, thugs, and mages. As in the game, the opponents they faced were both numerous and somewhat skilled in their fighting abilities.<br/><br/>"Yes, the realism of this game is quite impressive," he joked as fatigue and pain had set in while Julian fought off a crowd of bandits around him. During the first few stages, Garsot had been learning how to have more control over Julian's body and powers, making him enjoy the experience even more as he laid waste to his opponents. For the most part he stuck with melee combat, mostly hand-to-hand with using some weapons that had dropped, and was saving his mana for stronger enemies. After JD got shot in the back with Davis' attack, Garsot turned to see where the projectile had come from, seeing both Davis and Rudolf enter the area. He was ready to go after the ninja warrior but went after Davis as his partner requested a switch.<br/><br/>While JD went into his battle with Rudolf, Julian began his fight with Julian, starting off by throwing the boomerang he had picked up earlier in the stage. Davis easily dodged it while running towards the purple-skinned warrior, throwing a flurry of punches as he got within range. The two fighters exchanged blows for a few seconds before Davis hit Julian with a energy blast to the chest, making him stagger back just enough for Davis to land his signature 'Dragon Punch,' which knocks Julian to the ground. Without skipping a beat, Davis moves in to capitalize on the moment, jumping into the air and bringing his fist down to smash in Julian's face. He connects with enough force that the ground beneath ends up shaking a bit, a smile playing upon the fighter's face.<br/><br/>The smile did not last long as Julian disappears from the ground and connects a 'Soul Punch' to the face of his attacker, knocking Davis to the ground several feet away. He quickly darts towards his opponent who just finishes rolling on the ground before leaping up to his feet and firing a blast of energy. Using his 'Mirror Image' technique again, Julian dodges the incoming projectile and manages to get within a few feet of Davis. Grabbing the collar of his opponents shirt, Julian aggressively smashes his forehead into the face of his opponent twice before throwing him onto the ground.<br/><br/>Just as Davis hits the ground, blood beginning to pour from his face from the headbutts he had just received, he blocks an incoming punch from Julian before grabbing his arm and pulling him off balance. In an instant Davis gets to his feet and sweeps Julian to the ground again with a swift kick to the legs. Davis leans down and picks up the fallen fighter over his head before throwing him several feet away.<br/><br/>Julian hits the ground with enough force to lose his breath, making him almost lose consciousness from the amount of health he has lost in the fight. The early 'Dragon Punch' from Davis had left quite a mark on him, but it could mean that the fighter was probably close to being out of mana, which Julian had plenty of still. Finally able to catch his breath, Julian stood up as his enemy leaps into the air for a finishing strike. He is foiled by the 'Mirror Image' technique again as he passes right through the projected image of Julian, leaving himself open to another 'Soul Punch' that caused him to be knocked a few feet away. Without hesitation, Julian hits his opponent with a barrage of 'Skull Blasts' that tears Davis to shreds and completely eats up Julian's remaining mana.<br/><br/>Content with his victory over Davis, despite having to use up all his mana in the process, Garsot looks over to see how his partner was fairing against the ninja assassin, Rudolf and was pleased to see that JD had won the fight. He nodded his head at the triumphant JD before noticing two rather large bottles of milk appear between the two of them. "Oh awesome,' Garsot exclaimed as he picked up the bottle closest to him and drank it down, his health restoring as he finished the whole thing.
