The Creed
Since the beginning, there have been few fights that have been dubbed ‘legendary’, and are still today remembered as being so. They incorporate so much action, explosiveness, concentration, drama, excitement, and acknowledgement that they are formally set upon a pedestal for the future generations of Internet fighters within the territory to look back upon. All fighters of today require knowledge of the past…they yearn for it. A feeling of looking back upon what others have done before them. It is a time for remembering heroes. Participants of these great and well-respected battles are more then fighters. They are legends.

The Synopsis
Three of the greatest warriors in history stepped up to prove that Blackfyre truly was the ‘Boom’ era of the time. Seiryou Shinjou, reigning Blackfyrian champion of the first Budokai and Martial Arts Tournaments and only undefeated fighter in Blackfyre, put his skills to the test when he faced off against two of the greater warriors of that time, his long-time friend Victor Kuroji...and arch-rival Silver Aeon. Seiryou had proved his weight against either competitor one-on-one, but the unlikely duo of sorcerers were to be the Saiya-jin’s greatest challenge yet. To make matters worse, Victor and Aeon had not been on the friendliest terms. Indeed, it seemed that every moment either fighter had been at each other’s throats. To take on Seiryou himself, Victor and Aeon set aside their opposing differences in order to pool their resources and give it their all against the one man that had never been taken down. There were no stakes. There were no rules. There was just one man with a cause, and two men with an ambition. Seiryou Shinjou versus Silver Aeon and Victor Kuroji would inevitably turn out to be a great spectacle, no matter who or how it was looked upon. The combatants were set. The fight was on.
Seiryou Shinjou found himself sandwiched between Victor Kuroji and Silver Aeon. The Saiya-jin knew that he would have to play an unusually defensive role this fight, for both men were skilled in not only supernatural warfare but also physically, with a fist and with a sword. In the beginning, both Victor and Aeon rushed Seiryou with their blades, with Aeon swinging his blade in a crescent slash upwards across Seiryou’s hip to his shoulder and Victor coming in towards the left with a horizontal slash from the mystical jeweled sword, Izestiphon. Seiryou had had them scouted and chose to score an advantage: leaping over Victor’s slash, which had come first, and grabbing the tip of Aeon’s weapon in his golden hand, aiding it’s momentum and sending it back across from him. The blade nicked Victor in the shoulder and caused the energy drain to begin on the Silver Warrior. Although it would take a lot to keep Victor down and out, the drain was enough to keep him limited in the beginning until he could fully recover from the status effect, and proved to be an early advantage for Seiryou.
The two opposing Seiryou then took on a new strategy. Victor, initially injured and seeking to not only recover but gather massive amounts of energy to use against a distracted Seiryou, stepped to the sidelines, keeping wary of both men. Aeon once again attacked Seiryou with his sword but Seiryou, utilizing his quick speed, evaded. While Victor’s Zao currents ran amuck, Aeon attempted to inflict damage on Seiryou with an energy attack, but Seiryou responded with a defensive attack of his own, and both energies were parried. Then, once again, Aeon attempted to attack Seiryou with his weapon, clearly keeping the Saiya-jin distracted while Victor, a distance away, unleashed one of the most terrifying techniques ever devised: The Yexen Sphere. The currents of Zao quickly began to form the inescapable energy sphere around both Aeon and Seiryou. However, Victor had taken a split second in setting things up, and Seiryou took advantage, using Shunkan Idou to instantly phase to the outside. The Yexen Sphere exploded, although Aeon managed to survive.
Although their strategy was broken, both Aeon and Victor continued to work together to keep Seiryou on the defensive, hoping that he would make one wrong move so that either or both of them could finish him off. Victor unleashed four powerful energy cyclones, which Seiryou was forced to dodge and evade, and they continued to chase him every which way. Using the deadly currents of Zao, Victor continued to follow Seiryou and his handy Shunkan Idou phasing technique through the skies, and barrages of aura energy leveled the playing field to dust and craters. For nearly two hours Seiryou and Victor played a game of cat and mouse above the arena, with Seiryou clearly playing the defensive here, for Aeon himself, the almighty sorcerer, was gathering up a slew up magic on the ground. When Victor attempted to mimic a Kamehameha, Seiryou was forced to fly ground-bound, where Aeon met up with him and attempted to cut him in half with his blade. Seeking his chance to even the playing field, Seiryou maneuvered his sleek body around the weapon and prepared to deliver a deadly Ashi-Kara Kamehameha to Aeon. However, Victor had returned from the skies, with an explosive barrage of energy, and Seiryou was forced to abandon his attack, evade, and speed like a golden comet up into the skies. While Aeon continued to gather his energy, Victor hurriedly charged upwards into the sky at nearly sound speed. Seiryou, finally seeing a spot in which to turn the tide of one near-death battle, sped downwards at an equal speed, barreling through the silver warrior in a blaze of light. Victor Kuroji was torn in half, and it was up to Aeon to finish the fight and take down the Saiya-jin.
As the two legendary rivals squared off, Aeon rushed upwards at the golden warrior, already an intense ball of dark magic and energy. Seiryou, gathering up the last of his strength and energy, launched a massive Jubei Kamehameha, a Kamehameha ten times the normal blast, downwards at Aeon. The sorcerer attempted to escape the blast, but Seiryou re-angled it to follow him. Turning to face what would eventually be his demise, Silver Aeon launched his remaining energy at Seiryou’s energy, hoping to cause one massive explosion and eliminate both energies. Seiryou Shinjou, however, made one last desperate attempt to land the Jubei, and focused all of his heart and soul in dividing the blast around Aeon’s energy attack, the Kamehameha reforming on the other side and destroying his remaining opponent. Exhausted, spent, and nearly out of energy, Seiryou Shinjou sank to the ground, re-living the six hour battle in his mind.
It was a battle of attrition, one of such magnitude and caliber that will never quite be reached again. All three warriors gave it their all, which is something to be both remembered and admired. Alone, neither Aeon nor Victor had proved strong enough to take on Seiryou. Together, though former enemies and unusual partners, both warriors took Seiryou to their limits. The result was not a ceremony for the winner but a steady reign of applause for all three men, for their great accomplishment. They took the arena and made it the Blackfyre Arena. They took fighting to a whole new level. They not only became heroes…they became legends.
