FireStar Challenge

[Anubis Karos]

I have waited long enough. I wished for this to coincide with an Overlord Challenge, but you are not capable of a defense, evidently. Ergo, I challenge you now.

[Goldglo]

This challenge is valid and may proceed.

[Ticallion Carter]

I guess that beating you for both titles wasn't enough, huh? Oh well. Regardless of recent events, I still got the stones to defend this rock (pun intended). So, I accept. I'll send you some dates soon.

[Goldglo]

Gentlemen,

Please inform the community of an update to this challenge's progress immediately. I expect this challenge to be scheduled within the next three days, and notice of such publically posted along with the pertinent details.

Failure to adhere to the above will result in the anullment of this challenge, and, depending upon the circumstances of delay, the removal of FireStar from its current holder, Ticallion Carter.

Since most of the callers may have their hands full with the Panther's Claw, I'll call this challenge. Of course, if that's acceptable to you. But why wouldn't it be? I'm totally awesome.

[Ticallion Carter]

Sai works for me.

Hey. There was a challenge. I was there. I saw it! It was great!

It was former FireStar holder Anubis Karos challenging Ticallion Carter for the right to hold the Red Opal once again. I sent them off to ring Avalon, and we were underway!

The first duel started with Anubis attempting a highly risky spinkick, which simply got punched down. But he tied it back up by sweeping under his armblock. He then took the lead by snazzily leaping over a grab attempt. Ticallion tied it back up at two by sweeping under a feinted grab, but that was the last unanswered point he got in that duel. Anubis dominated up until round nine where they traded punches to end the duel 5 - 3 Anubis.

The second duel was much closer. Ticallion started out with the lead again with another victorious jab, twarting Anubis's sweep attempt. But the Egyptian snazzily leapt over Tical's own sweep attempt, tying it up. In round four, another victorious jab from Tical punched Anubis and his jumpkick out of the air. But in round six, Anubis tied it right back up with a reversal of round one. Anubis then took the lead by feinting a grab, which Tical bit on with a leap. But Tical tied it right back up by spinkicking and demolishing Anubis's armblock attempt, and then took the lead back by feinting an uppercut, which Anubis bit on with a duck. But he then chopped into Anubis's grab, which tied it up at 4 all, sending us into sudden death. The duel ended in round twelve, when Tical tried to sweep, but Anubis snapkicked over it to win the match in two duels.

Anubis Karos is now the holder of the Red Opal, FireStar! Congratulations Anubis, and well tried, Tical!
