The Namekian announcer stepped forward onto the arena, waving gladly at the excited crowd as they cheered in excitement for the coming battle. "Welcome everyone, to the second round of the Trial of Peace! Now we have our top eight, so the question remains who will become our top two!?" Once the crowd had settled down— which took a fair bit longer than usual— he reached into his pocket and pulled out a card with the names of this bout's fighters.
"Our first contestant this round is literally the largest one we've got, the tricky portal user— Terium!" The crowd cheered once more, wondering what else this giant could do beyond his usage of portals. "But can the portals overcome raw unhindered instincts?! We shall soon see as the other fighter is the mighty wild man, Dosu!" The crowd continued to cheer, similarly curious about what potential Dosu could reach.
The announcer then took a step back, and addressed the two fighters directly before clearing the arena. "Okay, you two! The winner of this fight will be decided by either knockout or ring-out. If the match has not naturally concluded by the time limit, then our panel of judges will independently determine a winner. The only other rule is that no form of flight may be used in the bout. If I am understood, then... Let the battle begin!"
The second round of the Trial of Peace begins! This fight will end and be judged on Monday, April 10th if a winner has not yet been decided by either ring-out or knockout by then!
Dosu had barely finished being patched up by the Namekian healers that it was his turn for the second round of the tournament. Not forgetting what had occurred after the fight with Bael, the Heran was now meaning business. Now against just anyone, if he went by what he overheard from the medical staff. Apparently, he would be fighting someone who managed to beat the queen of the saiyans? Now, that would be quite the formidable foe.
As he was called to the ring for his match, he dashed onto the scene, all wounds healed and with a fresh new outfit to replace the torn one he previously had. Feeling jittery after having his purpose renewed with his previous match, it was almost as if he had fires burning in his eyes.
“COME ON, LET’S FIGHT ALREADY!”
He would be surprised at first to see what Terium looked like. Certainly, he hadn’t expected quite that size for an opponent. Despite all of this, he felt in familiar territory here. This creature, he had hunted very similar ones throughout his life. Maybe not quite as big, but still formidable prey bearing large amounts of food.
“HAH! Do you want me to entertain the crowd with a hunting showcase? I’ll make bags out of that leather!”
He assumed a fighting stance, about ready to strike, only waiting for the official start of the match. As it was officialised, Dosu jumped straight at Terium’s face, ready to throw a killing blow.
“A shame you had to fight me! LET IT BE KNOWN! I AM DOSU THE POWERFUL!”
Putting all of his might into that strike, he would try to uppercut Terium far up in the air and out of the arena. Right then and there.
ooc: After his fight with Bael, Dosu is no longer holding back.
Dosu uses [b][MAX power] Unfathomable Might (+10% to techniques)[/b] Dosu strikes Terium with his full might with a [b][Medium Offensive] Burial Rites (80%, 4KP)[/b]. That's [b]320'000 damage[/b]
Terium slithered into the Arena once again, carefully making sure his entire body is in the arena and that nothing is touching the borders. He stared down at the Herran in front him, sending his powerlevel and realizing that this guy was someone who was very unlikely to defeat him, but then, that was what he thought when he fought Amara. He wondered how to approach this, as he observed the man's expression. How problematic, this guy clearly doesn't intend to hold back. "Very well, little Herran," he spoke in response to Dosu's clear lust for battle, one he can sympathize with as he too has felt that enjoyment of battle, it was a shame they had to face off here in this restrictive setting...then he proceeded to call the Wyrm a 'hunting showcase', which gave him some nostalgia.
"Ah, correction, Hunter Dosu," he responded once more, thinking of his first encounter with Mint. But due to Dosu clearly taking things seriously, Terium decided to take it up a notch as well. So he proceeded to transform, his Bioluminescence glowing a menacing reddish orange as he grew in size, eventually reaching 160 feet in sheer length. He also made sure to stay in the Arena regardless.
As Dosu charged at him, Terium realized that this was a moment he could not afford to waste, so he fired a Blue Dragon Beam at the charging Dosu, knowing that his Beam is unlikely to do enough to stop the Herran, but should block his vision long enough for him to pull off his trick. Once Dosu got close enough he'd proceed to make a portal right in front of the charging Herran, with the other end being above the grass outside the arena pointed down so as to attempt to ring the impulsive Dosu out.
It's a risky move, but one that has be made, at any rate he's not going to able to avoid the damage done by said uppercut's shockwave, but in order to prevent a ring out he has a portal above his head so that upon getting hit by the shockwave he'd instead find himself making a crater on the arena, which is fine, though he'd be left with quite the hefty damage, the kind he'd not felt since his fight with Mint so long ago, which would only go on to leave more nostalgia, he then loses consciousness from the amount of damage he took.

Just as it had began, the fight was over. Dosu had launched a fierce and powerful attack right out of the gate at such a speed that the crowd barely had much in the way of time to react in the moment.
For a short while, there was utter silence, many people, the announcer included, were slack jawed and stunned. Immediately afterward there was a massive cheering uproar for appreciation of the sheer spectacle and massive impact. "I-I think it goes without saying that we have our winner!" The announcer shook themselves out of their bewilderment to conclude the match officially. "Which would be Dosu!"
Looking over at the unconscious Terium, the announcer stated; "Lets have a round of applause for Terium getting this far. Perhaps we shall see him rise back up through the losers bracket? The only way to know is to tune in, because that'll begin soon! Please look forward to the next matches of the Trial of Peace!"
Dosu is the official the winner of this match, and will move on to round three, the semi-finals! Terium has been eliminated, but may choose to return in the losers bracket for a second chance later on!
Emboldened by his previous fight, Dosu charged straight at Terium with furious might! Even as his mighty opponent transformed into a giant insect bug alien thing, the Heran did not stop a single second. Due to the cloud of smoke rising from the attack, Dosu did not see the portals forming beneath him.
As soon as he had uppercutted Terium, he felt the ground giving out under him. The next second, he was mid-air, free falling just outside the ring.
“Hey oh! What happened, that’s not fair!!”
He had no time to consider the giant wyrm knocked out in the ring, far more concerned with his own situation. Thankfully, he wasn’t too far off the edge. Thanks to his high IQ, he managed to pace himself and as he grew closer with the ground, he kicked the side of the ring, his foot digging into the fighting ground. Using this as an anchor point, he kept himself in the air, technically not falling out of bounds.
“Phew, that was close.”
Jumping back into the ring, he was ready to get back at Terium.
“You cheating creature! I’ll show you!”
Then he noticed it, unconscious in a crater in the middle of the arena. At the same time, he was declared victorious.
“Haha! Serves you right! No one messes with Dosu like this and goes unpunished!”
