Since apparently none dare stand against the Makuta, Voidarix continues his assault until there's nothing left of the coliseum but massive pile of rubble.
A purple energy emanates from his axes, wafting over the massive chunks of protodermis. All at once, they stand up into towering golems, lumbering over to stand beside their master.
After all, it had been too easy. Way too easy- he wanted more.
Voidarix could swear he saw a small, far away Kraahkan staring at him from one of the buildings he blew up.
He seems to either not notice or not care. Whatever his reasoning was, he and his small army marched onwards to their next target.

One member of the small army suddenly falls into the ground, apparently having been split in two by a wedge being driven through it at high speeds.
No apparent perpetrator can be seen.
Another suddenly goes flying a few feet, convulsing from some unseen blow. Eventually, it stops, and doesn't get up.
Another suddenly roared and began to fight its comrades.
Another simply turned to dust.
The rest were struck down by sudden lightning bolts raining from the sky atop their heads.
By this point, Voidarix's vision has completely blacked out. The only thing he can see is the image of the Kraahkan. No matter where he turns his head -- it's just that same dreadful face staring into him.
Nobody has spoken yet. Apart from, possibly, the sudden shouts from the members of his army being slain.

Voidarix simply laughs, a scepter forming in his hand. Immediately, the mental attack stops, despite Kratark's-supposedly- continued efforsts, leaving only the fear and illusion. And the former, of course, was simply a foreign concept to him. He felt it, of course, but his insane mind's fight-or-flight triggered by it seemed to only drive him further into madness. This thing was scaring him.
He wanted it smashed.
"What a pretty mask," he replied with a lopsided smile- one that immediately vanished off his face. With a slight growl, he added darkly, "I want to break the real thing."
The army- which, made of rock- slowly gets back to their feet. The innumerable figures split in twain or simply turned to dust quickly form back together, rocks adhering back together into practically identical, new golems.
Simultaneously, Voidarix turns all the ground at his feet into one sentient mass. Through it, he scouts out the surrounding area, an innumerable amount of "eyes" looking everywhere and seeing everywhere to find this attacker, wherever he is.

Kratark was nowhere for a moment, but then, he was somewhere.
Magnetism was used to restrain Voidarix's limbs and almost at that same moment, Kratark unleashed a punch with his fist-blade, which, mind you, those things hit worse than trucks do.

Voidarix activates Dodge, slipping outside of Kratark's punch at the last moment despite the magnetism. In that half-second where Kratark is recoiling, having to now react to the force of his truck-fist now hitting only thin-air before reeling it back in, there is a miniscule window- more than enough time for a follow up. With Elasticity, Voidarix lashes out instantly- again the kraata properties overwhelming the magnetism- throwing a quick, light jab at his currently exposed midsection. This alone does no damage, but combined with the coup de grace of this triple threat, Disintegration tears apart Kratark's armor as soon as contact is made, disintegrating a massive chunk of his armor.

Kratark narrowly dodges by allowing his momentum to carry him forward. He twists his body around and fires off a fragmentation blast at Voidarix before turning to smoke and repositioning himself in some place with some distance from Voidarix.

Given this momentum would be incredibly easy to predict and much harder for him to control than Voidarix to react to, especially with elasticity being instantaneous, he is still hit by the disintegration.
To react to the fragmentation, Voidarix morphs his staff into a primitive shield- just enough to take the brunt of the fragmentation as it's destroyed.
He spins around to face Kratark in his new location, forming twin axes in his hand. Even as they begin to glow a bright purple- energy coalescing around them- the ground underneath Kratark upheaves, innumerable, rocky hands reaching upwards to grab hold of the Makuta.

The hands grasp at empty darkness and smoke, and it flies away as it did before to a better position, the lost portion of his armor slowly being reconstituted . Voidarix's hand and shield both are likely broth broken if not obliterated by the force of Kratark's fragmentation blast.
The Makuta materialized its arm just long enough to throw the blade of its fist weapon out, making a broad swinging movement to launch it. The arm eventually dissipated into smoke again so as to not be carelessly grabbed by anything.
When next taking corporeal form, Kratark was now at the base one of the stone arms, now bearing a sword large enough for him to call it a longsword.

Voidarix seems to neither feel nor care about any damage in his hand, much more set on not giving Kratark time to heal. All he does it form meager patches of stone over whatever small cracks had formed in his wrist armor.
He teleports three meters away from Kratark's damaged side, immediately unleashing twin blasts of searing energy right towards the gaping hole. Simultaneously, a c-shaped field of Slow is formed directly behind Kratark, leaving no room to escape away.

Kratark mysteriously vanishes before Voidarix can get close enough to execute his attack.
A longsword is thrust through Voidarix's back. Disintegration is channeled through it in the same way a guurahk's staff would be, and it probably turns Voidarix's armor to dust.

The moment Kratark teleports behind him, the sentient earth alerts him and he is able to activate dodge again, twisting around the blade to fire a second, almost point-blank blast of energy at the exposed hole.

By this point Kratark has seen Voidarix's intentions and is able to protect his leg with both a magnetic field, and, failing that, heat resistance. Using this solid defense as an opportunity to attack, he swings his sword as Voidarix was in the middle of his initial dodge. Given the length of the sword's blade, Kratark's proficiency, and the fact he has not pulled it back since thrusting with it, his likelihood of striking Voidarix is very high.
On the bright side -- this isn't Illidak, his sword isn't crackling with plasma or anything
OOC: In the interest of preventing another political fiasco, and to not be caught off guard for not communicating effectively enough -- I am not making oversights that could lead to character death, correct? Cus Kratark's got things to do.
As a side note -- Kratark's not fighting to kill either. Merely to... prove something to himself.

The magnetism holds no sway over the energy, and though the heat resistance proves to make it not quite as lethal as intended, there is still a massive chunk of antidermis completely obliterated upon contact.
If he's still in the middle of his dodge, then Dodge would still be active and Voidarix would be able to duck under the sword. Similarly, as the sword is already very close to Voidarix and stretched completely outwards, it would be hard to get power behind it anyways. However, Voidarix follows it up with an upward slice with his axe the outstretched, sword-bearing arm now above his head. Before it gets anywhere near, a paper-thin plane of energy explodes upwards, acting like a blade that cleaves through the arm at the elbow.
OOC: Let's hope so However, if you don't want your character to die, I'm fine halting the fight when one of the two is incapacitated.

Not even the power of dodge can ignore simple physics and geometry. Seeing as how Voidarix would've needed to dodge to pull this stunt, Kratark's sword hits its mark.
