Jonathon V Eriyana

Jonathon heard what she had said. There was clearly something wrong with this girl. She had some kind of fear related to fire. There was no turning back now. The fight had gone on too long already. He had to find another way. Jonathon launched himself up onto one of the walls. He ran along the walls, trying to keep balance while the walls kept moving and shifting, almost throwing him off. He finally found her and jumped down, landing besides her. Rather then making fire he just tried to strike her in a spot that would incapacitate her. If he could prevent himself from abusing her fear of fire to win, he'd do so.

Eriyana was crouched down on her knees in the middle of the maze, trying to gather her strength back from using such a strong defense. She started to take deep breaths, calming down and getting her strength back a bit at a time.

She heard a thud beside her and screeched, seeing the boy standing beside her. Her body turned just in time to take the blow to her shoulder. Eriyana threw up her hands, but the sight of him combined with taking the blow to her shoulder disrupted her chi long enough for the earth pillar to launch in her direction instead of Jonathon's. The entire moment caught her off guard, slamming her through a couple of the earth walls she had made, and out into the un-mazeified area of the arena.

Eriyana stood up, being used to taking blows as an earthbender. She decided she had used up too much energy defending, it was either avoid attacks until her energy returned, or go all out with what she currently had...

She raised her fists, ready to show her unarmed prowess

"Ok then. No bending. Deal?" Jonathon asked, putting his guard up. By this point the blows from the boulders were getting to him. He didn't know how much fight he had left in him. If he was planning on winning this fight, he would have to win now. "This is it...I hope you're ready...Cause I sure am not!" He then ran at her, ready for one last good punch. Smirking all the while.

Eriyana listened to his request, nodding quietly. She sighed in relief, thankful there wouldn't be any more fire for a while. She took a fighting stance and grabbing his arm and sticking her leg out to trip him, taking his momentum and trying to slam him onto the ground.

Her counter worked and Jonathon found himself on the ground...Hard. Gasping again he once again lost all the air in his lungs. This was it. It was over. He climbed to his feet to see if he could keep fighting. It wasn't worth it though. Jonathon smirked at his opponent. "Congrats. You win." Then he collapsed, smiling even when he had lost consciousness.

Eriyana sighed and sat down next to him. "Come on, we have to wait to the crowd and give a good show" She smiled and stood back up, helping him to his feet and waving to the crowd, listening to them cheer.

Jonathon groggily woke up from being knocked out. "Give 'em a show..." He muttered. He was tempted to try and keep fighting, but he'd already given her the match. He looked up at the crowd and waved. "Let's do it again sometime, what do you say. Only next time we skip the bending part and go straight to the fist fight." He said to her, coughing up a few more drops of blood. "...I think I need a healer..."

Eriyana smiled. "Yeah, hand to hand, otherwise I'll have to go nuts on you with earth."

She noticed him bleeding and started to help him walk towards a healer
