Ile’s Pond: A large, deep pond. The water is murky, and virtually impossible to see in, home to many nasty snapping turtles and nonpoisonous snakes. There are many small islands, barely large enough to stand on, scattered throughout, as well as trees that grow by the fringes of the pond and on the said islands. There are several deserted rowboats and canoes scattered around the area, with oars still intact. In the center is a large floating platform, anchored in place by a rope with a rock tied to it. This wooden platform is very sturdy and ALMOST impossible to flip.
The combatants have been poofed in at full health and strength from the elimination round at opposite sides of the pond. Begin!

Aquara stood at one end of the platform, little bits of water rushing over, and running across her naked feet. "Hmph" she said smiling widlly "Its dirty, but water is still my best attribute..." She took off her shirt, and her pants, keeping her in a bikini that she wears when she goes out, just incase she felt like swimming. "Not only am I a martial artist, I was a champion swimmer, you ready?" she said putting up a stance.

Rongerik smiled smugly. "Dirty? Compared to what I swim in, this is practically clean glass!" After practically living in Marshallese lagoon water contaminated with bits and pieces of radioactive fallout, the little Raixian boy had strange mutations. His feet and hands were webbed, and his eyes had a thin, protective covering that allowed him to maintain perfect vision underwater. And, of course, 10 years of fishing made him a master of swimming, capable of outswimming most champion swimmers.
"Ready as I'll ever be!" Rongerik held his trident defensively, as he always did. His first thought was: be like the fox. Play cleverly, no matter how dirty it may seem. If he stayed in the water, he had a better chance of winning since a) he had a trident, a weapon tailor-made for aquatic combat and b) he was a better swimmer than Aquara, or so he felt. He backflipped and dove into the ocean without making so much as a single droplet jump into the air.

Aquara moved to the middle of the platform. hopefully, they're not better then I she thought to herself. snap out of it... you can take'em she banged her head and waited for the opponent to make a move.
Aquara loosened the muscles in her feet, and tried to sense the currents under water, hopefully feeling if an attack was to come somewhere from below.

Rongerik's first strategy was to destabilize the platform in the middle. He stabbed at the platform like a venomous snake biting into prey, snapping part of the rope in half. He grabbed the rope and began to cut it, until finally the rope frayed apart and the platform began to float around aimlessly.
"That should put her at a disadvantage," he blubbed. While swimming around, Rongerik spotted a large snapping turtle nipping at his toes. Carefully grabbing it, he paddled close to the surface and chucked it at Aquara. He took care to not reveal his position by swimming away and hiding under a large lily pad. He took a breath of fresh air and waited for Aquara's next move.

Aquara caught the turtle right before it snipped off her nose. It slipped out of her hands and landed with a loud thud on the floor. "Damn it" she said cursing loudly, kicking the turtle back into the water.
"I won't be able to do much just standing outside the water..." She stripped her clothing, and she was in a two-piece bathing suit (bikini) it was darly colored, and would be hard to see under the water. She moved cautiously to one end of the platform, and it began to tip over from an un-even amount of weight. Her knee caps already submerged, she pushed off, and let the dirty water run across her body. She surfaced and had a face of disgust.
Aquara looked around and couldn't see her opponent so she took a deep breath and submerged herself. She opened her eyes and could only see a few feet ahead of her, and she began to swim foward. After finding nothing she noted a giant lily pad. no, that would be to obvious she thought to herself.
Aquara stealth-ly submerged once again and swam slowly to the lily pad, and began to sneak up on what ever was over there. She got closer and closer, and lunged only to attack a log that was floating there. "Where is he... this isn't good at all"

1 month time limit. Steph has to respond before April 5th. And starting in May, it'll go down to a two week time limit. Probably, if still going in July, it'll go down to one week. And, lord forbid, still running in September, down to a 3 day time limit.

OOC: Yeah, I believe that Stephanie called forfeit by no longer being able to post for four years.
