Mr. D had rounded up all campers and shoved them into the large arena. His green eyes scanning them all. He stood in the center on a podium.
"The rules are simple, no powers, and I will assign the weapon and if any teams. All most participate of be put on cleaning duty for the bathrooms, or do something else for me." he waved and a list appeared "Any volunteers to go first or should I pick?" a mischevious glimmer in his eyes.

"No powers?" Zeke shouted in disbelief. "Why not?" He knew he wasn't any good with an actual sword. His powers were the only defense he had. "At least let me use my ice swords!" Now, swords he made from ice seemed to work a little better. He just used his powers to make them and swung 'em around. Of course, he didn't swing them like a barbarian. He knew how to swordfight, he just couldn't seem to do it with metal swords, celestial bronze or otherwise.

Mr. D laughed "Zeke volunteering? Of course you may use this bronze sword," the god said tossing a heavy and long bronze sword at him. His eyes mocking him "Any other volunteers? Or should I pick from the list?"

Zeke caught the sword, mumbling something about getting revenge, even though he knew he wouldn't win against a god - let alone an Olympian like Dionysus.

Volunteer? Renate hopped to her feet buzzing with excitement. Sure no powers would make things easier but she loved having fun "I'll fight Zeke Winters," the Ares cabin leader said stepping forwards with no weapons "I can use any weapon given to me," a challenge in her voice as she laughed at Zeke. The poor child like many others depended in his powers, well now he can find out how the rest survived without them.

Silene tried not to smile when Zeke got dragged into the first fight. Renate was skilled, and she wondered how Zeke would deal with her. Silene hade been trained and skilled with everything. She had a sword. She just usually didn't use it. He had it with her today, beign prepared. The thin blade was nearly crystal clear and see-through. It was sharp and lethal, solid and unbreakable.
Tina~ She watched timidly, only to watch. She had no intention of joining in. Fighting was her least favorite thing to do, and she was going to avoid it at all costs. She was quite nervous, but she had learned to take any opportunity to gain fighting experience. After the first attack on camp, she hadn't been much help. She would learn by watching.

Just his luck. Zeke had to fight an Ares kid - Renate, no less. "Oh, gods..." he muttered, hoping Mr. D didn't take that as a prayer to him. Everyone knew Zeke couldn't fight without his powers. It was because he hadn't found a sword with the balance he needed. They were all off, and it threw his fighting off. With his ice, he could make one side a little heavier, the other a little lighter, all without changing the shape or size of the sword. He could just pack the ice together a little more and add some on top to keep the shape. Now, he was fighting with a celestial bronze sword against the Ares Cabin leader. "Oh gods," Zeke repeated.
Julien walked over to Tina. "I'm glad you're feeling better," he whispered.

Renate laughed at Zeke "Don't fret. You may actually have a chance," a twinkle in her eyes. Her brown eyes were bright and playful as she studied the colder figure. Looking at Mr. D she awaited a weapon. He could hand her anything and she could use it.
::::::
Silver's eyebrow raised in amusement as Renate rushed to the challenge. Poor Zeke, not that she felt bad. But rather amused. Her electrifying eyes scanned the arena. She wasn't going to volunteer but she was curious to see who she would fight.

Justin looked around and spotted Silver her amusement from Zeke. And strangely he felt annoyed by this. A slight frown twitching on the corners of his lips. But he shook his messy hair and decided he had no reason to get annoyed. This was nothing, she didn't like him so why should it matter?

Mr. D laughed "Ohh cocky now are we? Why not take the same thing as Zeke?" he tossed her a large sword that was also bronze but probably shorter and heavier than Zeke's. He wanted all to be challenged, not just those with powers.

Zeke raised his sword, preparing for the onslaught of embarrassment that was to come. He didn't want to fight Renate or, rather, he didn't want to fight her without any powers. He didn't stand a chance. He was maybe average at most. Swordfighting with actual bronze swords was a bit difficult for him.

Skylar peered curiously at Zeke and Renate. This was a good time to study their moves, watching for strengths and weaknesses. Perhaps that might help in the future, for whatever reason.
The daughter of Athena wondered if she should volunteer. Sure, she wasn't as experienced as most of the campers, but you learned from losing, didn't you? Okay, so it might be a little embarrassing to lose to a 12-year-old or something.

Renate caught the heavy sword. Her muscles tensing slightly as she got use to the weight. Slicing it through the air momentarily she smiled. "Crystal clear, ok let's begin," she said turning to face Zeke with a brilliant smile.

Zeke tensed, slightly, but waited to let Renate make the first move. He would try to wear her out by deflecting her attacks and just completely dodging them. He spun the sword through the air and back up a step. He wasn't sure if Renate would simply attack or if Mr. D would actually say 'go'.

Renate unlike Zeke didn't await Mr. D's signal to begin and rather just did a quick and quite simple and lazy thrust as his hand holding the sword. Her brown eyes narrowing slightly as she silently calculated the estimated victory time. It didn't seem to need to take long. He seemed a bit uncomfortable with his sword. Therefore knocking it out of his hand may be fairly easy. But given benefit of the doubt she decided to give him an hour and a half. Tops.
