Tournament of Champions: Brilliand vs. Fire of Zion
The two combatants appeared suddenly on a large floating platform in the middle of space. There seemed nothing extraordinary about the platform-- save the fact that they could breathe and that there was gravity-- until a closer examination was given: the platform was made of thousands of tiny insectoid-creatures. The insects stayed close together in a symbiotic relationship, and only a few buzzed around higher above and farther below the rest. When one walked on the insects, they vibrated.
The minds of the fighters filled with an unnatural fury; a burning desire to kill now dictated their thoughts.

((What? "They could breathe" not "There was oxygen"? Gzi is in his element!
As always, this description is Gzi's perception, not what a human would see.))
This time, Gzi appeared on a space platform, covered in an invisible but quite breathable gas - a welcome change from the thin, bland atmospheres of the other places. The ground shook and buzzed like the surface of a neutron-relativity drive, throwing off appropriate sparks. Gzi strode confidently toward the only anomaly in site (presumably the reason he had been brought here) - a swirling tower of white, apparently a break in the engine, with flames at its base. Gzi was not familiar with this situation, but he trusted his instincts, which told him that the leaking substance needed to be splattered all over the ground. If he had had more experience, he would have realized that this was not the way to fix a leak...
((In case you didn't guess, the "leaking substance" is Reine Liran.))

And yet another time, Reine found herself in yet another unfamiliar place. Her feet told her that despite the secure-looking platform upon which they stood, it was not still. She stooped and placed a hand on the ground. A ticklish sensation caused her to retract her hand quickly and she stood in disgust. Bugs. Everywhere, bugs. That's what she stood upon, that's what was holding her up now. How... awkward.
This place was so foreign to her that she felt an overwhelming sense of discouragement... until her eyes fell upon her opponent. Her discouragement was immediately drowned out by an intense hatred and fiery burning against him. She looked around quickly at her resources. What was she supposed to do? She could breathe, but there was no real assurance that the air contained water. Fire was an option, though, her opponent looked tough.
Clenching a fist, Reine stepped forward towards him as felt the bugs vibrated under her feet. Curious...
((wanna throw the first punch? I want to give you the option. Otherwise, I could take off with a couple ideas ))

As the leak drifted toward him, Gzi raised his right arm and swung mightily, trying to swat the top off and begin the work of leveling it to the ground. As luck would have it, Gzi aimed his open palm directly at Reine's left cheek.

An attempt to block against the hit or move was foiled by her lack of time to react. Still, when he hit her across the face, she flew to the right, making sure to kick him in the side of the head at the same time. She hit the "ground" and quickly pushed herself up. It was time to go all out. As he made a move to retaliate, she stomped on the bugs beneath her feet and made scooping motions. Water, or actually, goo from the insects' bodies answered her call and followed her fingers. Reine threw the water at Gzi and twisted her hands to freeze it.

The stuff splashed harder than Gzi thought, and he blinked as it splashed him across the face. When he opened his eyes, the leak was completely gone, as though he had wiped it away by slapping it. Pleased, Gzi turned and was just about to leave when a strange sensation ran down his left side. Reaching around with his left hand, he broke off a bit of blue stuff and gazed at it curiously. Cold was completely unknown among the Zea, and he wondered whether this new stuff could be a useful power source.
Whatever it was, it did not belong on his back. Gzi scraped all the stuff off his back and tossed it on the ground, deciding that it wouldn't be safe to hold it. As he did so, he happened to turn and sight a new leak ((still Reine)) that had sprung up some distance away. Very well, he would slap this one too.
Gzi started toward it.

She continued to crush the bugs and throw their liquid insides at her opponent, but each time he looked at it quizzically and then scrape it off. This would only manage to tire her further. There had to be a better way.
One more crushing blow to the "ground" beneath her and she saw a spark of fire char a couple carcasses. She frowned and then glanced at her opponent. First...
Gathering her arms to her, Reine inhaled deeply and then thrust her hands forward. A burning sphere launched from her, headed with deadly aim at him.

The strange blue stuff kept bringing Gzi its strange sensation again and again, and it was getting to the point where the sensation just wouldn't go away. But then the blue blasts were followed up by a red one, and Gzi felt comfortable again... at home, as though he had just walked through a blazing acid cloud. Gzi stopped worrying about his skin and continued toward Reine, raising his right arm to whack her on the top of her head and knock her flat.

The fire did nothing. Absolutely nothing. It may have even made him more comfortable. Reine panicked and raised an icicle of bug guts against him as he went to hit her. Then, she ran around him to the other side of the platform. She turned quickly, squaring her stance, and raised her hands above her head. A burning ball erupted from her fingertips and she threw it. It fell short of actually hitting him, but she smirked. It wasn't meant for him... it was meant for the bugs. A layer of insects burned away. She continued to throw balls of fire, burning layers away. He may be impermeable to fire, but the bugs weren't...
