Winter was, in all honesty, a younger copy of her mother, aside from a few small differences.
She was slightly shorter than her mother, her bangs were swept to the right side of her face instead of the left with her bangs slightly covering her right eye and there was only one curl of hair going down past her left ear instead of two going down, one on either side.
Her attire was navy-blue, white and grey coloured. It consisted of a white coat with red brooch, exposed upper arms, and black gloves, along with a blue undershirt.
Her pants had garters incorporated into them.
Rex looked to be around 19 years old. His hair was a bright, shining silver, a trademark of those who were directly descended from Lucifer, the Father of All Devils, and his eyes were as crimson-red as the hair the Gremory Clan was most famous for.
His hair was short, and spiked backwards in a windswept way.
His attire consisted of a faded black, ¾-length, hooded leather jacket with red interior linings and the design of a crimson-coloured rose on the back of the jacket, a grey tank top, black fingerless gloves, black faded jeans and black military-like boots.
Neither Rex or Winter spoke as Raven stood up, triggering most of the Devils in the audience to stop talking, as they quivered with anticipation.
There was a soft murmer among the audience as Raven walked to the edge of the balcony where she, Fafnir, Zeoticus, Venelana, Grayfia, the four Satans, Willow and Jacques were sat, and called out one word.
"...Begin."
Winter made the first move, drawing an Italian duelling sabre from a magic-circle that she opened with a flick of her hand, and dashing towards Rex.
Who drew a simple-looking longsword out of a magic-circle just in time to parry Winter's blow and clash with her for a couple of seconds, before Rex pushed Winter away with brute strength.
Rex rushed forward and swung his sword at Winter's chest, though Winter was quick to parry Rex' attack, as well as the next attack that involved a diagonal swing coming from above.
A quick flick of her hand was enough to send Rex' arm flying away from her, leaving the Gremory Heir open to a fast punch to the stomach from Winter.
Which left him further open to more attacks, which Winter proceeded to rain down, thick and fast, on her silver-haired opponent.
A few of these attacks made contact, leaving gashes on Rex' clothes and person, but none, out of the three that hit Rex, as he was able to start blocking the attacks that came after the first three, did any severe damage.
When Rex blocked another of Winter's attacks, and held the block in place, he pushed back against Winter, eventually breaking her guard down.
Now it was Winter's turn to go on the defensive, as Rex kept the heat on her.
Winter was forced to keep backing up until she and Rex reached the barrier shielding the spectators of the battle from any attacks that might go astray.
"Ready to give up?" Rex asked, as Winter had her back against the barrier, valiantly parrying all the blows she could.
"You wish." Winter replied to her friend and rival, quickly punching Rex in the face, forcing him to stagger back.
Winter followed up the punch by sweep-kicking Rex' feet out from under him, punching him in the back of the head, and delivering a low kick to his body as he went down.
Winter's foot impacted Rex' chest, knocking the wind out of him and sending him flying backwards.
He landed on the ground and rolled for a bit before coming to a stop and jumping back to his feet, where he saw Winter preparing to run at him.
"You wanna play dirty?" Rex asked, pulling a scabbard out of a magic-circle, magically attatching it to his side, and sheathing his sword into it. "Fine. I can play dirty too."
A red and black aura gathered around Rex' hands as he held them close to his chest, and as he flung them out towards Winter or, more specifically, the ground that Winter was running on, the red and black aura flew out and impacted the ground between Winter and Rex, blowing a huge hole in it in a single hit and kicking up a large cloud of dust.
The audience applauded wildly at Rex' use of the Power of Destruction, a power that he had inherited from his father, Sirzechs Lucifer, who was applauding himself, along with Zeoticus and Venelana.
"Oh, what the fu-" Rex heard Winter's voice, before a soft 'thump' as she fell into the pit that he'd created from his Power of Destruction.
Unsheathing his sword, Rex dashed towards the pit, which the dust was settling around, and jumped into the air, spreading his six Devil wings.
'Damn.' Rex thought, as he flew into the hole that Winter had fallen into, and clashed with his opponent.
'This is a way bigger hole than I wanted to make. Oh well.'
Retracting his wings, Rex landed on the ground, clashed with Winter once again, swung around her and kicked her in the back, sending her stumbling forward.
When Winter turned around and swung at Rex, he pulled a quick move with his sword that sent Winter's sabre spinning out of her hand and up into the air.
As Rex smirked, quite sure that victory was his, Winter lashed out with a very hard punch to Rex' stomach, which made him double over in pain.
Winter then took the opportunity by jumping up, landing on Rex himself, and using him as a springboard to jump up while he was forced to the ground by how hard Winter jumped, grab her sword and land on the ground outside the pit Rex had created with his Power of Destruction.
The crowd were applauding wildly as Rex jumped out of the pit and landed in front of Winter, sword in hand. His nose looked to be broken as he pointed his sword at Winter.
"Let's finish this."
