Dale makes a quick change at Trevor, katar in hand. Trevor takes careful aim with bow, and unleashes an arrow directly at Dale’s chest. Dale sees the arrow coming and jumps out of the way at the last second. As Dale rolls to the side, the arrow whizzes by doing no harm. Dale springs up having put his katar away and draws his own bow. Trevor seems surprised as Dale stands up, stringing an arrow into his bow. But Trevor is able to pull out his quarterstaff, dropping his bow, and stand ready for the worst. Dale starts unleashing a hail of arrows upon Trevor. Trevor is able to spin and parry to avoid getting hit, while knocking the stray arrows out of the air with his quarterstaff. He slowly works his way closer to Dale and, in a daring move, spins his quarterstaff, hooking it on Dale’s bow string and ripping the whole bow from his hands. Trevor then brings the opposite end of the quarterstaff around, smashing it into Dale’s helmet. If Trevor was using his glaive he would have definitely beheaded Dale. Dale blacks out for a second and falls hard to the ground. Trevor raises quarterstaff above his head and begins to beat Dale’s body. Dale’s armor protects him until he reaches up and catches the other end of the quarterstaff. His hands scream with pain he tries to yank it from Trevor’s hands but Trevor’s grip is too strong and Dale instead pulls him to the ground. Both toss and turn on the ground trying to gain control of the quarterstaff. Dale holds on to the quarterstaff with one hand as he reaches for one of his sai. He pulls it out and jabs it towards Trevor’s hands. The main spike of the sai pierces Trevor’s gauntlet and is driven deep into Trevor’s wrist. This makes Trevor release his grip on the quarterstaff as he shrieks in pain. Dale jumps to his feet with his newly won quarterstaff and jabs it into the dirt so that it stands on its own. He sheaths his sai next to the other and pulls out his katar. He swings it several times straight through the quarterstaff cutting it into pieces and slowly destroying it. After eliminating Trevor’s weapon, Dale flourishes his katar and stands in a battle stance ready for the next attack. In this time Trevor has risen to his feet, blood running down his forearm, and reveals the glaive he carried on his back. They charge at each other and being to interlock in combat. Steel clangs against steel and Dale brings his katar down towards Trevor’s head. Trevor quickly blocks it with the shaft of his glaive held between his two hands. His glaive handle bows and Dale pulls his katar back and thrusts it towards Trevor’s chest. Trevor jumps a quick step backward, still holding his glaive in the same position, parallel to the ground with two hands. Instead of pulling his katar back towards himself, Dale swings it upward breaking the shaft of the glaive where it had been weakened. Trevor stares at his broken weapon but he thinks quickly. As Dale makes another jab at him, hoping to catch him off guard, Trevor spins clockwise as he moves to his left. Dale continues to move forward but Trevor is now behind him. Trevor pierces Dale’s back plate using the broken glaive handle with the blade attached. Trevor takes the upper hand and makes quick work of the fatally wounded Dale. Winner: Trevor the Tenacious
