The missiles would be denied of their target. As Aiya fired, the tail of the dragon glowed with Dark Energy, and the beast swung it before his fallen body, the Dark Energy twisting up to form several tall crystal spires, meant to protect their master.
At that, they succeeded... to an extent.
The missiles detonated against the crystal spires, blasting them to pieces. Shards flew in all directions, some embedding themselves into Salavance himself, while others lacerated through Aiya's flesh and skin. Yet, the dust and smoke formed from the explosions were just what Salavance needed. As Aiya prepared to fire again through the smoke, Salavance's form shot upward out of the smoke cloud, the very flames of the forest floor surrounding the beast like a magnificent phoenix, as more Dark Energy flowed from the wings. The wings beat faster and faster, and Aiya found himself engulfed in a Dark Energy tornado! Darkness surrounded him as he was thrown up through the air, tossed and turned by the powerful winds. He couldn't fire his missiles in here, otherwise he'd blow himself up!
Alas, such was his fate, as the very fires that raged across the forest floor were sucked into the twister, setting off the sea of explosions and fire that engulfed Aiya. Salavance grinned as he heard the warrior howl in pain, before the twister dissipated, sending his form flying through the undergrowth and into the ground. Aiya's flesh was cooked and charred, chunks of flesh that had been loosened burnt to a crisp or vaporized outright. The fall itself hadn't been kind to him either, as his muscle enhancer had been crushed by the impact. The dragon hovered above the prone form of the warrior, head reared back, before firing a beam of Dark Energy down upon Aiya...

Acting more on instinct than anything, Aiya shot both his hands up and unleashed dual palm blasts to meet the Dark Energy Beam head on. The beams collided and tussled with each other for a moment, but it was clear the Dark Energy blast was slowly winning. While his palm blast's power was set and he couldn't influence it by simply "trying harder" or pouring his energy into it like his quasi-ally Myston could, Salavance didn't have that problem. The two beams had been equal at first, with his dual palm blasts having a minor edge in the beam war. But Salavance simply had to increase his effort and the strength and intensity of his blast quickly took the upper hand.
But the palm beams were giving Aiya precious moments to formulate a plan. And as on the fly plans go, it wasn't too bad. Aiya quickly activated his anti-grav boots, using them to propel him away from the Dark Energy beam's destination. The blast hit empty ground, and Aiya started moving up. Problem was he wasn't moving fast enough. Salavance just had to turn his head some and the Dark Energy beam turned with him, catching Aiya full-on and slamming him against a tree. The beam stopped and he bagan to fall to the earth below, but used the claws of his gauntlet to dig into the tree and stop himself. Groaning in pain, he reached for his third and final face-tracker missile, unbeknownst to his opponent.
Salavance let out a warcry and flew in, his powerful claws at the ready. Aiya just smirked and threw the explosive orb. Salavance saw the orb a moment too late and ran right into it, his face taking the full brunt of the damage a third time.
He was REALLY starting to hate those things.
Aiya unsheathed his sword again and leaped at his enemy, intent on cutting into his neck. But he made the mistake of letting out a warcry of his own, alerting Salavance to his incoming attack. He turned away from Aiya, allowing his back to take the sword-strike instead. It wasn't where he wanted to strike, but it was still a good, deep cut, spilling blood and exposing bone. The face-tracker and the sword strike were enough to force Salavance out of the air, causing him to land hard on his legs. Aiya had already landed, a little more gracefully, and was upon his foe immediately. He slammed both his fists into Sal's back, letting the sharp points of both fists puncture the dragon's skin. He then ground his fists into Salavance's back, shredding the skin and getting both his hands covered in dragon blood.
With a groan, the mighty dragon collapsed onto the ground, the toll exacted by the string of attacks momentarily too much for him to bear. Aiya stepped back and tried turning his muscle enhancer to augment his power again, but growled when nothing happened. "Aw sonofa..."
Snorting in frustration, Aiya simply pointed his palm at Salavance's neck and fired a blast...

That time taken to decide to fire the palm blaster was wasted time for Aiya, and he quickly realized why.
Salavance was no longer lying on the floor... Salavance was already upon Aiya! The badass grunted as he was thrown onto his back, the feral savagery of the dragon desiring his blood. Once more, the terrible maw of the dragon clamped down, this time upon his lower arm,shredding away and tearing at the flesh and muscle there, while one arm kept the warrior's chest pinned down. Aiya had to grit his teeth to not shout in pain. Even worse, the bite was spreading poison from the lower jaw of the beast into Aiya's arm, further wrecking havok on his flesh...
Alas, Salavance was in JUST the right position for Aiya's free hand to blast at his side, and so he did.
Salavance howled as the blast sent him tumbling head over heels, flesh splayed out from the blast area. As Salavance began to rise, his own blood dripping upon the burning forest floor, Aiya aimed the palm blast again, and fired. This time, the beast managed to leap to the side, dodging it while also getting airborn. With both wings spread out, the dragon flew in, the Dark Energy spreading from its wings blanketing the area around Aiya as it flew overhead.
"Oh shi-"
KABOOOOOOOM!
The resulting sea of explosions sent Aiya flying up high into the air, experiencing pain like never before. And yet, Salavance wasn't through with him, for the tails of the beast coiled around him as Salavance flew by yet again. They coiled around Aiya like serpents, binding him as they twisted tighter and tighter, rubbing through his charred and burnt flesh. With an unearthly screech, Salavance folded his wings in, and dove straight downward, before twisting around, preparing to dash Aiya's body against the nearest tree...

The impact was unpleasant. To say the least. As was the bite to Aiya's shoulder that immediately followed. His arm was already in severe pain from the other bite, and now his shoulder was joining in, making that entire arm practically useless due to the intense pain. Finally, Aiya opened his mouth, and bit down hard on Salavance's neck. His teeth were razor sharp in their own right, and blood spurted from several puncture marks. Still, Salavance clung on. But he was forced to withdraw when Aiya used a palm blast at point blank range on his chest. The mighty dragon backed off for a moment. But that moment was all Aiya needed. He activated his Mohawk Slicer again and struck, landing a blow to Sal's neck.
Salavance screeched in pain as Aiya cocked his foot back, looking to score a field goal with his foe's head...

The dragon snarked as the kick landed, throwing his head back as blood splurted from his maw. Yet he wasn't going to just let Aiya do that without paying a price. One of the three tails came up behind him, and snapped around Aiya's other leg, blood dripping from the deep slice wounds, before the tail pulled back. Aiya grunted as he was flung onto his belly. The tail receded, and the dragon rose, venom dripping from his maw as he pounced upon Aiya!
Pain once again gripped Aiya's world as the dragon set about slicing up his back. The terrible claws dug into his sides, ripping through flesh and muscle, before gouging out long strips of meat from either side. Aiya could only scream from that, a sound which to Salavance, was like music to his ears. He leapt off, before grabbing the bits of meat in his mouth and swallowing them whole... how tasty.
One of the wing arms unfurled and struck Aiya across the face, leaving a set of sharp claw marks down the face, before the wing planted his head into the ground. The dragon leaned in close, the lips parting into a snarl.
"You... Die"
Aiya's eyes widened. The beast could speak?! No sooner had it hissed the words, did Salavance leap backward, wings spread out as it prepared to dive bomb Aiya's form and break his back in two...

And, after an absurdly long 24 hours, Yaburu is DQed. Salavance wins.

Before Salavance could commit the deadly deed, Aiya was wisked away in a bright light. The dragon snarled in irritation that he had been robbed of his prey, before he too was wisked away...
