The sun had set and the forest was covered in a deep blue hue. The sounds of leaves crunching underfoot echoed as the two warriors, Fujiwara no Mokou and Tomoe, made their way towards the empty arena. Tomoe unsheathed her two swords and held them aloft while Fujiwara no Mokou simply stood and waited, her movements slow and deliberate. "You don't say much, do ya?" Tomoe said as she eyed Mokou up and down. "Let's see if you can back up that stoic demeanor." Mokou simply cracked a vicious grin and waited for the first attack. Tomoe was quick to oblige, leaping towards Mokou with her swords at the ready. Mokou simply sidestepped the attack and landed a punch squarely in Tomoe's gut. Tomoe doubled over in pain and stumbled backward, but quickly regained her footing. "Heh, not bad," she said as she wiped a trickle of blood from her mouth. She charged again, this time coming at Mokou in a flurry of slashes and stabs. Mokou deftly dodged each and every attack, then countered with a palm strike to Tomoe's chest. Tomoe stumbled backwards, her eyes widening in surprise. "What the hell was that?" she said between labored breaths. Mokou simply smirked. "My flames burn hotter than anything you can dish out." Tomoe shook her head. "I'm not done yet!" she roared and, with that, transformed into a fierce dragon. Mokou remained unfazed as the dragon launched a barrage of attacks, claws and teeth gnashing. But with her Eternal Youth and Health, Mokou could withstand any damage the dragon could dish out. Mokou waited for her moment and, with quick thinking and speed, she placed her hand directly on the dragon's forehead and unleashed an immense burst of heat, the likes of which Tomoe had never experienced. The dragon's form began to flicker and waver as if disappearing into thin air, until it finally returned to Tomoe's human form, crumpled on the ground. Mokou stood over Tomoe, victorious, and let out an exultant cry. "I told you, my flames burn hotter than anything you've got!" Winner: Fujiwara no Mokou Mokou had a clear advantage with her fire manipulation abilities, and her immortality and flawless healing made her invincible against any damage Tomoe could inflict. Additionally, Mokou's physical strength and quick thinking made her a formidable opponent. Tomoe's greater dragon form was no match for Mokou's heat, and ultimately, Mokou emerged as the victor.
