GYM: Fire And Fire
*Aitome walks up to the old place, the musty old GYM. Old was a bit of a misnomer though as it had just been rebuilt. Still, the name carries on it legacy. Looking at the locked door she struggles with it for a second before giving up
Gah. Gonna have to do this the hard way. I think I perfer this method anyways though!
*Aitome then glows red as flames crawl up from her soul and into her hand, firing an inferno to destroy the door before stepping inside and flicking on the lights. Taking a seat and looking towards the entrance with glowing red eyes. Itching for a match
As Ina approaches GYM and is about to destroy the door, she realizes the damage has been done and she walks in side noticing aitome.
"Hey there! Is this GYM?"
(edited by Ina)
Glancing to the figure that stepped in Ai smirks an draws her two short swords, pointing one of them at Ina while she twirls the other in her hand
Sure it is, and I'm certain you know what that means. I've been cooped up in here for far too long. It's about time that I let loose a little so what do you say? Wanna rumble with the best? Battle the beast? Cause I'm not holding back. A fox doesn't let it's prey escape!
"Oh, I know that feeling all to well, sister. I've been itching for a fight myself! That being said...."
Her eyes turn a dark orange, with a flame covering her left hand, she points it at Ai.
"Let's do this!"
Ah yes, a true and proper GYM. And as such, Izumi appears!
Ah, there's the arena again.
Heh! Been a while since I've felt that fighting spirit! I'll let you have the first strike. You'll need it.
Ai then jumps back into the arena, cracking her neck and stretching her arms before pointing at Ina with her hand and flicking it, inviting her to fight, however she stops for a second and furrows her brow at the mention of "sister"
Sister? What are you talking about? I don't got one. Well, not anymore that is. So explain yourself.
When the other patron arrives Ai does a small wave with the blade before speaking to them
Heya Izzy, I would love to chat but I'm about to crush somebody, so it's gonna have to wait.
"It's just an expression. Anyways, let's go!"
Ina dashes at AI and creates a wave of fire attempting to sweep her off her feet and knock her down.
*Asha walks through the doorway of the newest GYM, spear in hand, looking around*
Is this were people fight?
Jiyu enters the doorless GYM with his white headphones on his head.
*Yawn* "Maybe I can have a fight for once..."
With an almost tired expression on his face, Jiyu sluggishly walks over to a stool and takes a seat on it.
Izumi looks at Asha with a bit of confusion.
Oh, hello there.... um.... forgive me, but are you new here? I've never seen you before.
An expression? First time I've heard that, I don't exactly talk much though so eh.
With a shrug of her shoulders Ai looks down the wave and gets an idea, jumping into the air with a backflip as she repositons herself, waving her arms in the air as hardlight builds itself in front of her, making a slope over the wave and pointed straight at Ina, sliding down the slope her leg glows with flames, aiming for a kick right at them
Don't make this too easy! Keep up ya? Oh! House rule! Turn off your resistances yeah? No fun if we both null flames! Let's turn the heat up!
*suddenly appears*
Oh boy, it's been awhile since I've been to a gym. It'll be nice to do some fighting for once and try out some new ideas I've had.
*Asha nods at Izumi*
I woke up here this morning. I haven't a clue what this place is, though it seems to be filled strong people, so I don't mind at all. Besides, I'm sure my friends will come find me when they notice I'm missing.
"Got it!"
She attempts to dodge out of the way of the kick, and fires a fireball towards Ai.
(Suddenly, a 7'3 grenish man walks in)...been ah while, and look at that, there's already fightin'
(edited by Reperzel)
Ah, well welcome then. I'm Izumi, and you are...?
(Then, a flash of yellow goes to both of his eyes, but covers them up)....that never happened
Senri wandered into the GYM, seemingly spontaniously. She was actually collecting information,
but no one had to know that. Just here for a drink and a little kicktime. Maybe practice with her new katana.
She noticed the fight going on while on the way to the bar and just decided to take a seat on the ground. Not exactly elegant, but oh well.
Ina-chan is fighting, eh? and with Ai-chan... This should be interesting.
...I should probably be prepare to flee quick if this goes to hell.
I'm Asha. Good to meet you, Izumi.
(He walks to a wall close to the fight and leans on it)...hope it's a good fight
(edited by Reperzel)
As Ai speeds past her accuracy isnt too good and narrowly clips Ina, but she dodges unscathed, cursing the attack she slides across the ground and tumbles when she is hit
Gah.. Slippery little thing.. Let's see you dodge this.
Aitome then takes her two blades and crosses them in an X, flames climbing up her arm and into the blades before spiking them into the floor, almost instantaneously two pillars of white holy flames burst from the floor a fair ways away from Ina, spiralling closer and closer to eventually trap Ina between both of them
While he's sitting on the stool, Jiyu begins to fall asleep but instantly jumps up the second before he actually falls asleep.
"H-Huh?! Damn, I gotta take more naps..."
*takes a seat in the air*
Ahh... it's always nice to have a chair where ever I go.
Well yes, this is the GYM. Capitals are its trademark. As is a fighting arena.... I don't know where you're from but the people here tend to be pretty... unique....
Being trapped in between the flames is painful for ina.
"G-GAH!"
She's constricted, but she stomps the floor as a pillar of flame bursts out from beneath her.
"It's gonna take more than that!'
She sends a wave of medium sized fireballs at Ai.
Unique, you say? Unique is good when it comes to battle. I like being kept on my toes during battles.
*Asha spins her spear around before impaling it into the ground and sitting down*
I like a good challenge.
Wooooo, this is getting nice
Heh, well if all you have is that spear you'll likely find you're a bit overmatched in there.
Ah geez...
Without a guard for the fireballs Ai gets torn apart by the flames,
falling to her feet and taking a look around before smiling
Don't like that do ya? Well I hope you got a plan. As I'm not changing my tactics just yet!
Leaving her swords in the ground to continue to spew flames for a bit she runs around the area running her hands along the edges as she forms walls of light all around the arena, slowly shrinking and trying to trap Ina in the flames to continue the damage over time.
Let's see you handle a little zoning!
*Asha chuckles*
Don't worry about me. I wouldn't have lasted this long if I didn't have more than a few tricks up my sleeves.
Well then, sounds like you'll get along just fine, Magic or Not.
Jiyu is still trying to stay awake despite how tired he is. The only thing that's really keeping him awake is the fight that he's watching.
"..."
Ina begins to think to herself. If I get trapped in these flames for too long, I'm done for! I can't let that happen!
She begins focussing on the pillar of flame that she created and comes up with an idea. She jumps into the flames to attempt to give cover to herself while spreading a wave of fire towards Ai.
"How do ya like them apples!?"
So then, hm? How goes the fight?
She looks over at the arena just in time to see Ina dive into fire and send fire at Aitome.
Oh my.... this is some intense fighting, actually....
[A normal looking blonde haired man enters the GYM]
"It's time to show off my stand's new limit!"
Well.. it may be a bit of a wait. This is some slow fire.
Hmm... I wonder if slow fire could be useful for anything...
A slow burning flame is good for torture and sieges. A slow moving fire may be good for threats on an army or country, depending on the size.
Eito,having woken up from a nap, walks out into the GYM and discovers the incinirated door. He sighs.
"I'd like to wake up and come out here without seeing my door destroyed and the place currently being inhabited."
"One fucking time..."
Sighing once again, he walks back into his room and goes back to sleep.
...this fight may take longer than thought...no, wait, time is just screwing up again. Meh.
*Suddenly has a soda in her hands and starts drinking it...and doesn't stop...*
Perhaps, but I don't think I'm fighting many armies....
Usually my enemies come one at a time. Actually, even around here they usually come one at a time.
A threat to a country is a threat to a King. One man or 100, it matters not. The threat still works.
*Asha yawns*
This is boring. I wish to fight someone.
*stops drinking and throws the bottle to somewhere*
Yeah, me too. A goddess of insanity and general chaos needs to get some practice in every once and awhile.
Well, there's a potential fight right there. I suppose I could try fighting, too. Though I'll admit my "kit" isn't that.... expansive.
Never heard of any goddess of insanity and general chaos before. Either your self-proclaimed or your just not that famous.
Around here is my domain, so...you probably haven't heard of me. I'm Star Sakura, and you've already heard my job. I live up in a shrine on a small mountain nearby. It's also my place of work, being a weapon shop, general good store, and soon to be an apartment complex. I like to keep busy in my spare time.
A young woman would wander through the doors, her eyes darting about warily as she walks in... This whole city is weird, seemingly safer than home, but so very strange to her. Toss that with no clue how she's here, and a lack of anyone she knows? Blake's not feeling too warm and fuzzy right now, despite that, she needs info so she'd walk up to the small gathering of people and smile at them.
"Um, hi... Name's Blake, I guess you'd call me new in town? Um, what exactly is town anyway, to be honest, I kinda just found my way here..."
If you truly are a god of Chaos that commands powers limitless unknown, then I am not stupid enough to challenge you. I know I cannot defeat a god in single combat and I will not accept an opponent that refuses to use their full force, even if they are much stronger than me.
This is Tokyo, located in the Nexus. It's pretty much a place between a bunch of different worlds that people can somehow end up in. I'm Star Sakura, goddess of insanity and general chaos. Yes, I know it sounds evil, no, it's not. And yes, I'm an actual goddess. It's a world with a bunch of other worlds collided in it, so gods and other things like that are much more common around here. As for my powers, I can't control chaos or insanity. I simply make it. You're not wrong in saying that I would defeat you if I used my full power...but, that doesn't mean you can't see how long you'll last.
Hmm, another new person, huh? Must be.... something happening....
She trails off as if she'd just heard some terrible news. She reaches into her bag for a moment, pulling out a card. She doesn't show the card, she just looks at it and sighs. Hesitating a moment, before putting it away.
A-anyway.... greetings, I'm Izumi.
The man who simply wished to go by the initials F.H. appears sitting in a chair, examining his fingernails. His legs remain crossed as he lounges in the middle of the room now, having seemingly appeared from thin air.
...Honestly, can you be any more lacking in tact, Miss Sakura? I understand pride in your work, but there is always a line to be drawn.
*Asha goes into silent thoughts for a second before removing her spear from the ground and pointing it at Star.*
This is probably a bad idea bu...
*Asha looks at F.H, lowering her Javelin.*
Who's this?
Following a bit behind Blake, another young woman stumbles into GYM. Taking her place next to Blake, she curtsies.
Greetings. My name is Weiss Schnee. A pleasure to make your acquaintance.
She then gives Blake a harsh glare.
Anyways, Blake, how could you just leave me like that! I told you I was just going for a moment, then when I come back, I see you walking in here!
Well, what can I say? I'm the goddess of insanity and general chaos. I have to cause it, you know. Even extreme confusion counts as chaos these days, so I like to make a lasting impression. Also, who are you?
He turns to the two girls now looking at him, and simply smiles.
Ah, well on that note I must extend to you my thanks, Miss Sakura. Your work certainly goes a long way to helping mine, that much is certain. As for my identity, I am simply F.H. It's a pleasure to meet you both after all this time.
Blake simply stares in shock... This is utter madness surely. Who, what even is this person? Goddess of insanity? Gods? Those are just old fairy tales... At least this Izumi girl isn't speaking utter madness.
"I-I see, that is all quite a bit to take in but um nice to meet you. And hello Izumi, a pleasure to meet you I'm sure."
She'd then turn to Weiss and smirk, a sly look shining in Blake's eyes as she looks at her... Friend, yeah.
"Hmm, did you get scared without me around? Well, come on then Heiress. This place seems like some kinda fighting area to me, you feel like a practice? Haven't seen any Grimm, but somehow I don't consider that a reason to stop training."
She'd casually stretch out for a moment, walking over to a backdoor, she's getting the sense the building will be a bit busy soon, so she'd step outside into the backyard and motion for Weiss to follow.
Well, it's a pleasure to meet you too F.H. So, pray tell, what is your work if my work helps it? I'm quite curious.
Grimm, now that's a new term. Sounds like that wolf we ran into the other day by the river.
Another god? Heh. I can tell I'm going to like this place already. So, FH, was it? What's your job in all of this? God of floating and condescending, perhaps?
F.H. taps his foot on the ground, the metal sole of the expensive-looking shoe making a very audible clicking sound as he does so.
We'll call that...classified. For now, anyway. Just keep doing what it is you do, and pay me no mind, 'o gracious goddess.
Very well. Now then...
*Star summons her techno sword, which has now been named after all this time as Gagrifar, the ancient goddess sword.*
Whoever wants to fight me, just ask and I'll give you the time of your life.
Oh right.
*Asha spins her javelin around before pointing it at Star*
How long do you think I can last?
No, I was not scared. I just... would've preferred it if we stuck together, that's all.
Well, whatever, I'll take you up on it. I've got no reason not to, really.
Before doing so, she looks over to Izumi.
The creatures of Grimm are beasts, drawn towards feelings of negativity. If you wish, I'd be happy to inform you further once we conclude.
Weiss sighs, before walking over to the battlefield and standing across from Blake. Touching the tips of her fingers to the cylinder of her blade, she spins it by quickly flicking her blade outwards, it landing on the red cartridge. She then takes to her combat stance, breathing calmly before looking towards Blake.
You ready?
(edited by Heiress)
Honestly...I doubt you'll last if I ever used the absolute full extent of my powers, so...this should only take a few minutes, depending on how fast you are.
*Star transforms into her dragon form, gaining her dragon wings and a more mature body*
Now...time for some fun...
*Star starts shooting bullets aimed in her general direction from her body, going half as fast as normal bullets and obviously magic in nature. There's way too many bullets to count*
Huh, what an odd contrast of people. One is loving the idea of "gods" and the other can't believe it.
It both makes you wonder why more people want to be heroes, and explains why they would want to be.
New? So she's right... These people don't have to deal with Grimm huh? Sounds like a lovely world to live in... Her musing is put to a halt by Weiss however, the young woman reaches up for the blade on her back, she'd flip a few things around before it takes the form of a pistol, a long black ribbon wrapping around her right arm. The left, on the other hand, holds the bladed sheath of her weapon. Finally, she loads her own red cartridge into the pistol and takes a deep breath, eyes already darting up toward the building behind Weiss.
"I'm plenty ready yeah, well. Guess I'll ask this before we start, you want to go all the way, or just till half aura or something? I'm thinking we'd be better off cutting out at half given our... Lack of know-how, in the current, area."
*Asha crouches down and spins har Javelin. Any bullet that hit the spear would turn to dust. With a motion of Asha's hand, the dust would gather above Star before forming into stalagtites and fall towards her dragon body. The more bullets Star fired that hit the spear, the more stalactites would form and fall.*
That sounds like a sensible plan. Very well. However, you'll regret allowing me to take the first move!
Weiss puts her pointer and middle finger of her right hand together, bringing them behind her. Hopping off the ground, she pulls herself onto a large white symbol standing vertically behind herself. She pushes off, flinger herself straight towards Blake, slashing with her blade as she approaches. She lands herself on the ground as her slash connects with Blake.
*Star would teleport before each stalatite could hit her, lining them up in a fashion as she shot more bullets. When she had a good stack of them, she started chucking them at her with her extreme strength, the speed they travelled at being as fast as bullets*
Heh. Not bad. I didn't expect you to try that. But you're just feeding me ammo!
*Asha tries to disintegrate the stalagmites, but after a few the impact of multiple bullet speed rock spikes proves too much as Asha is sent careening across the GYM. She manages to stand up, using her Javelin as a cane, breathing heavily before throwing her Javelin at Star with all the strength she can muster.*
*Star catches it midway to her with magic and tosses it right beside her before she gets enveloped by a giant rainbow laser of non-elemental death, somehow not destroying the gym, and stopping the laser from actually killing her with a small shield she cast on her to protect her against the attack. The laser dies down and suddenly, she feels completely fine, like the fight never happened to begin with*
Well...that wasn't long. Still, you lasted pretty good for someone going against me at nearly full power. Of course, if I had went at full power...well, you'd be dead probably. You should be glad I cast that shield on you, otherwise you'd probably feel that for a week, even after the heal.
"Alright, let's not push this one too far then!"
A full out melee attack, not out of the norm for Weiss of course so... Blake saw that one coming, just as Weiss will no doubt see the other woman's sheath rising up to block the rapier's slash coming. Normally, this would be the part where some clones come out, or Blake fires some rounds as she's blocking, instead? The cat Faunus darts forward, she'd aim a quick kick into Weiss's left leg and shift her gun back to the form of a katana, trying a far more aggressive move than normal by aiming to slice the blade into Weiss's shoulder.
"Hmm, wonder if that trick will work? I mean, you pretty much know my normal tactics anyway, so I figured I'd try something new this time."
*Asha falls to her knees after the battle is over.*
I knew it would end this way, but I still expected to get a few more attacks in before... I this is the power of the people in this plain, I must get stronger.
*Asha looks over at Star.*
Thank you for the battle, as short as it was.
Actually, I one of the strongest people here. I'm pretty much the guardian deity of the Nexus, so I kinda have to be strong. Still, you did have quite the time. I doubt anyone would be able to defeat me at my truly full power. Still, normally the bullets do people in. I respect the fact that you were able to counter my attack. Truly, almost everyone is defeated by that alone. I do hope you get stronger, maybe even strong enough to actually stand a chance against my might.
Not expecting a more offensive play from Blake, Weiss ends up taking a swift strike to the leg. She stumbles a bit, before bringing up her blade to guard from Blake's strike.
Interesting choice. You've always been quick on your feet. But I'm not finished yet.
Weiss points her right hand down, a glyph appearing beneath Blake's feet. Flicking her hand towards herself, it causes the glyph to pull Blake's feet out from under her, assuming she gets caught in it. Either way, Weiss then pulls herself back, readying her stance, before lunging at Blake with a combo of a forward stab, upwards slash, and leftwards slash.
*Asha picks up her Javelin before looking back at Star*
I doubt I will get anywhere close to that level of power, but I shall try if you think me able. Still, I had fun.
*Asha sits back down, resting*
I shall rest here until I have enough energy to leave. It might be good to see how others battle until then.
Trust me, if you were able to counter that attack, then you have quite the large amount of potential in you. It was nice to be able to use some of my true power once again. Now, I'll be taking my leave. I feel something is going to happen soon, so I should probably prepare for it. See you again, Asha.
*With that, a gap in space-time opens under Star and she falls in before the gap closes*
Aww, well at least it worked to an extent. Still, might be time for something more like her usual?
"I try Heiress, and nah I didn't expect you to be done."
A glyph forms under Blake, despite expecting that, it's still enough to leave her off balance for a moment. The stab slams into her chest, but she'd quickly land on her feet once more and bring up her bladed sheath to block the upper slash, followed by tossing her katana into the final attack.
"Two can play at the Semblance game ya know."
Blake darts back for a moment, she'd focus for a moment, a burning red clone of herself leaping up in front of her and rushing right at Weiss, it would aim to swing its copy of the katana at Weiss before quickly blowing up in a cloud of flames. Blake herself however, has shifted back to the pistol form of her weapon and quickly wrapped her ribbon around her arm, as the clone's slashing at Weiss, she'd toss it up like a grappling hook and swing, landing atop the GYM roof. Finally, as her copy explodes in flames, small blasts of fire would rush from Blake's gun toward Weiss, the aim being to strike at two points, and hopefully, force Weiss to approach while taking gunfire.
Blocking the initial strike of the copy, Weiss attempts to back away as the copy explodes into flames. Partially successful, Weiss manages to escape the majority of the damage from the explosion.
Of course I know you can use your semblance, Blake. And frankly, there's not much to do to avoid it. But you can't run away forever!
Putting up her weapon, Weiss tries to block the gunfire from Blake, but the slim design prevents it from blocking much. Putting her fingers together once more, she brings it around from downwards, pointing up the wall, to right at Blake, and a trail of black glyphs lead from behind her up to Blake. She then hops up again, putting her feet against a black glyph vertically opposing the trail. Pushing off it, Weiss sends herself flying across the trail, eventually reaching Blake, where she begins with a leftwards horizontal slash.
"Not much to do indeed... Hmm, what next."
It'll take some time for the other girl to reach her, in that time she'd quickly flip the fire dust from her gun, only to replace it with ice in another moment... Running away huh? Nah, that's what she used to do all the time, from the White Fang, from her family, from everything, instead, as the girl slashes at Blake she'd focus once more, taking a strike to the arm yes, but an icy cope of herself would appear as well, actually catching Weiss's blade inside it for now and forcing her foe to either pull it out and be wide open, or just leave the weapon.
"Dust can do all kinds of fun things, but you'd know more about that than me right?"
Finally she'd rush at Weiss head on, aiming to push her foe back from her sword with a straight kick to the girl's chest, followed by ducking down as her gun flips back to katana, finally she'd rise upward with the blade pointing out toward Weiss.
"I can't run forever Weiss that's true, and I think it's about time I stopped running so much don't you?"
Tugging on her blade, Weiss' eyes widen before running her right hand down her blade, flames now rising up from it and melting the ice around it. She then turns her attention back to Blake, slashing the air with her blade as Blake kicks her, sending a wave of flames towards her as she gets thrown back by the kick. Picking herself back up, she puts her right hand on the back of her head, as well as her left thumb on the cylinder of her weapon.
Urg, I was a bit of a fool for that one... You all right, Blake?
The flames would crash into Blake, her Aura taking the form of an outright shield and burning away pretty rapidly as the fire rushes into her head on. Upon hearing Weiss's question, she'd drag out her Scroll for a moment... Blah, Aura about half down. Fire hurts when it hits you head on, who knew?
"I could keep going, but like we said probably best not to. Ah well, that was a learning experience for me ya know? I've learned that I should really be more careful of fire Dust for example, and also that I'm still not too good at this not running away thing. But, can't sneak around in the shadows all the time!"
With that, she'd walk toward the edge of the roof and leap off it, fairly clearly having conceded the match despite not really saying anything of the sort. She'd walk back into the building and look around, mostly empty now huh? Well, she leans on a wall and waits for Weiss for the moment.
[A black haired boy appears at the entrance to GYM. His coat waves in the wind as he enters the building. The sound of fighting intrigued him greatly so he deemed the place worthy of a once over. His head down, he continues into the building before finding where the fight was taking place.]
"A duel, huh? Nifty game! I'll have to thank Klein for letting me borrow it, hehe!"
[After his brief monologue, the boy finds a free spot and leans against a wall. He idly brings up his left hand and begins to dance his index finger through the air. However, he was seeing an interface not dissimilar to that of a JRPG.]
[The boy claps slowly as he rises from the wall; the invisible interface fading too.]
"You two were great from what I saw! Is this a registered duel zone? I never saw any of the usual fanfare, so I figured this place might not be regulated by the GM."
[He raises an eyebrow as he looks above the heads of both women. A puzzled expression comes across his face before he opens his mouth.]
"Come to think of it...where is the usual status and username information I'd find on top of other players?"
[He shakes his head before pulling out a crystal.]
"Well I guess it's nothing too important. But bye for now."
[The crystal glows and he disappears.]
Weiss chuckles, pulling out her scroll as well. A bit below half. Looks like she lost, but Blake doesn't need to know that. Putting it away, Weiss hops off the roof as well, using the occasional glyph to catch herself every so often before she reaches the ground.
Well, I'd say I learned not to be so hasty with my attacks when I attack from such a distance. It was a bit too obvious to not have some sort of deeper plan, I suppose.
Weiss walks towards the door, stopping and turning around to motion Blake to follow her.
What way should we go next? There seems to be a lot of unique locals here, although I haven't seen a map anywhere...
She turns to Kirito, obviously confused.
Duel... zone? GM? What on earth are you talking about?
OOC: Oof, same time posts hurt.
(edited by Heiress)
Blake would follow after her friend, shrugging casually at the question, a map of this "Tokyo" would be pretty great. Even better, would be to find Ruby and Yang, baring that however she'd just like to sleep... And then there's that guy in a black coat, what the heck was his deal anyway? GM, Players? Like one of those games, she's sometimes heard classmates talk about?
"Heck if I know, but I'm pretty sure we're not in some game so uh, wonder what he's thinking? this place is called Tokyo is all I've really gotten so far... Something about a "Nexus" too, but uh person who said that claimed to be a goddess so I'm taking it with a grain of salt honestly. I can, however, say this, we should really find someplace to get some rest for now. Don't know about you, but I'm freaking tired."
With that, Blake would stalk off a bit ahead of Weiss, despite her words of not sticking to the shadows all the time, the girl does exactly that for the most part. Old habits die hard, and unknown places put her on edge, that in mind she'd simply look around them for something like a hotel and hope that this madhouse takes their money.
(edited by Blake-Belladonna)
Weiss shrugs, before following Blake out of the building. Watching as Blake takes to the shadows, Weiss sighs, before walking at her own pace in the broad daylight.
Well, let's see where this takes us...
Seeing the wave approach, Ai quickly backpedals behind the enclosing light wall as it hits the hard surface, causing cracks along the area of impact
Close! But you'll have to do better!
Ai then controls the light walls to push in closer, a fair distance away, but that could change quickly. As for the flaming swords they begin to run out of steam as Ai's flames begin to die out
A young, silver-haired man in blue armor approaches the building. Seems rather similar to the old GYM he was once in. The man laughs as he sees that pesky door has already been laid waste to. Well, with the first idea out of the way, Grimnir only has one more.
Grimnir leaps, feet first, through the doorway, careful to land on the tip of his toes, he swings the lance in his left through the air, a silken scarf billowing through the wind around him. Satisfied, the man stabs his lance into the ground and proclaims
I, Grimnir, the Mad Cyclone challenge any who may see fit to an honorable duel. Let our single combat ring out throughout the heavens and cause foul beasts to tremble in fear, as they should when one as magnificent as I appears.
With a smirk as wide as his ego, Grimnir awaits a challenger
A middle aged man with black hair, glasses, a sweet white dress coat walks in to the GYM, trying to survey everything within the nexus.
He then hears Grimnir's challange.
"Hey, mind if I face you, o' ill sane Cyclone?" he taunts
Grimnir swiftly turns to face his opponent, he doesn’t look like much, but if his time has taught him anything, even the mightiest of warriors can come in a relatively unimpressive package. So, the man points his spear at Gideon and retorts
Challenge me if you dare, brave mortal. But first, let us begin with a traditional listing of our deeds. You may wish to cower in fear, if you would like, the challenge can be rejected at any time.
Grimnir smirks and holds his right arm over his eye, striking a pose that, in his mind, must have looked really cool. And so he begins
I, Grimnir have journeyed through the nine realms facing terrors the likes of you can only imagine, from the mighty frost giants of Jotunheim, to the blazing furnace of Niflheim, none have provided a challenge for a warrior as great as I. Once, I even faced the great Wolf Fenrir in epic battle, one raging for three days and three nights.
His one boasting done, Grimnir points his lance at Gideon
And so, brave challenger, what is it that you have accomplished?
Gideon ignores the spear that he points at him and calmly replies,
"Well, I am the head of my own buisness, made an organization dedicated to taking down the likes of a certain person that I personally think is not worth much. But did you ever achieve THIS?!"
Gideon, does 7 Kuji-in hand signs, with lights blinking and so, before unleashing his Pixel Katana. he points it at Grimnir, "Maybe if I win, you'll have to be within my service..." he smirks confidently
Grimnir watches the Katana, more of this magic eh? Just the way he likes it, fights are boring if they’re over too soon
Weapon conjuration. Any second-rate sorcerer can do that. But enough talk, I think our actions can speak from here.
Without wasting any further time, Grimnir dashes towards Gideon, feet practically floating over the ground, they step so briefly and lightly. Once he’s decently close, Grimnir would begin spinning, dancing around to Gideon’s right in aims of getting around his opponent
Gideon smirks and slashes at the direction Grimnir is going to counter his opponent's evasion,
"Think trying to get behind my back is that easy?" He then glares at Grimnir, trying to strike fear into him, "THINK AGAIN."
Nice reflexes
Grimnir compliments his opponent as he brings up his lance to meet Gideon’s katana
You’d be surprised how many people stand there until I strike them
Grimnir begins smiling as his adrenaline starts pumping. This might be fun after all. The man shifts his momentum, lashing out a single, sharp kick at Gideon’s leg as he slides his lance along Gideon’s blade. Assuming it doesn’t pass through objects or something, Grimnir would use this to reach the edge of the katana’s reach and allow it to slide across his chest plate rather than truly hit him
(edited by Grimnir)
Gideon, deciding to play his enemy to his advantage, plays along with the kick, seeming slightly disoriented.
But he then quits this after he lets his katana slide across his chest plate, though it scratches it a bit, ending the charade with a punch to Grimnir's face
Grimnir grins, his armor working as intended, he wasn’t expecting a retaliation so soon, but he can work with it. Gideon strikes the side of Grimnir’s cheek as he turns, causing Grimnir to drop his lance upon the ground. However, the man takes this chance to try grabbing Gideon’s arm with his own two hands, simultaneously aiming to sweep the man’s feet out from under him, if this works, he would flex his back and aim to throw the opponent over his shoulder, slamming him into the ground
Gideon's arms were quicker than Grimnir's grabbing.
He swiftly pulled it back, jumped two spaces behind, and then sent a ground wave of pixels from his katana, heading quickly towards Grimnir
Oooh, Magical shockwave. Now we’re getting somewhere.
his maneuver having failed, Grimnir whirls around to face Gideon just as the other strikes the ground. Grimnir has no time to pick up his weapon, instead he flips over the ground wave in a manner probably entirely unnecessary. He lands a short distance ahead of Gideon and begins spinning again, a light breeze fluttering with his scarf as Grimnir approaches
Gideon decides to take the offensive and starts off by slashing Grimnir with a powerful cross slash.
"You're actually pretty strong dude, you may actually match me here..." Gideon complements him.
(A greenish 7'3 man kicks the door open)...'sup
OOC: sorry for the wait, I needed to finish up work
IC:Grimnir pauses for the briefest of seconds, he was hoping for something less direct, but that’s all part of the fun
You too. It feels like it’s been ages since someone pushed me here.
Changing his momentum would interrupt the flow, so instead Grimnir raises his right gauntlet to meet the blow. At first, the Katana and armor clash, only for it to pierce through, cutting into Grimnir’s arm.
At the same time, a massive gust of wind that had been building behind Grimnir pushes forth, striking Gideon in hopes of blowing him back
I was hoping to build more of a tempest than that, you’re tougher than you look
Every time I walk in....there's always a fight
(He walks to a wall close to the fight, and leans on it)
I wish eito was here...he's a nice ta be honest
Gideon saw the wind and tried to dodge when Grimnir sends it, but it was too late as it pushes him back from Grimnir, temporarilly losing his footing, which he soon regained,
"Hyah!" he then sends forth another pixel shock wave while trying to maintain his footing
Seeing Gideon lose balance, even for a moment, is all Grimnir was waiting for, he advances and, rather than dodge or try jumping over the shockwave, Grimnir lets it strike his toes. The shockwave knocks Grimnir’s feet out from under him, however, he maintains his momentum, turning the fall into an attempt to tackle Gideon, hand out to pin his opponent’s sword arm
"Ah, I see what you're doing..."
This move was slightly familiar to Gideon as he saw it being used by a certain person before
He tactically decides to stay put for a bit before the last moment, where he simply steps to the side, trying to dodge Grimnir's tackle
"I know that kind of move from...someone."
(edited by Gideon_Gordon_Graves)
Woooooooo
Gideon is of course able to sidestep Grimnir’s tackle, the young man continues on his course, arms in front, and catches himself. The impact on his injured arm causes him to wince, but doesn’t prevent his bold proclamation
So you’ve faced many foes in the past eh? Well tell me, could you expect this?
Grimnir continues his motion into a handstand, twisting his body to lash out with his right leg in a horizontal arc towards Gideon’s chest, aiming at his opponent’s ribs with his armored foot
Gideon proceeds to block it with his katana, but gets pushed back in the process too.
"Hm, looks like you really are strong there, buddy."
deciding to finish this once and for all, he charges a blast faced at Grimnir, and then fires. If it hits Grimnir, he is infected by the 'Glow'
This is getting interested......not really
Since the blast seems to be aimed at Grimnir's chest, its fairly simple to know what to do. Grimnir lets his arms collapse, tired as they are anyways, and immediately falls flat on the ground,
causing the blast to go over him. Grimnir grins, and remains lying on his back for a moment
I think that's enough. You fought well young warrior, hopefully I'll never need to fight you for real. Twould be a sad day for the world
Jiyu awakens with a yawn and looks at the time on his phone.
"Huh? Oh crap, I have a fight!!"
He then jumps off his stool and runs out of the GYM.
*An orange hair cowboy opens the door to only dodge a man running out. Sighing, Naby walk inside of the GYM*
*After entering the GYM, Naby would look around to see if anyone was still here*
"Yeah, that'll be all for today, just wanted to size you up and all. It'll probably suck if I had to actually give my all against a tough guy like you, but anyway, see ya."
With that, Gideon decided to leave the GYM, not before leaving a piece of paper stuck outside the wall of GYM.
Chaos Theatre,
Grand opening soon...
Grimnir grins and remains lying on the floor for a moment. His once-injured arm seems to have healed in minutes as he raises it towards the sky. The man's lance shakes a little, before flying straight into his grip.
So you were holding back too. Interesting....
Grimnir chuckles and pulls both legs close to his chest, before kicking out and pushing himself off the floor and onto his feet. Grimnir shouts to the heavens as he exits the GYM
I must say, I'm growing fond of this new multiverse, perhaps its time I be more active in its fate? No matter, fare the well, lesser beings. Fear not, for you shall see I, Grimnir the Mad Cyclone, once more.
"Wait, I can break the wall? Huh."
Ina fires rapid fire fireballs at the crack she made, hoping to break through, even if it's a small hole.
The strike on the walls aren't for naught as the cracks get wider, eventually opening up a tiny hole, however this doesn't go unnoticed as Ai rushes back into the box as for darts for her blades, picking them back up aa she rushes down Ina with a strike in the shape of an X, engaging in close quarters
Not letting you do that! I need that wall!
Ina is knocked back by the strike.
"Grr! I'm note done yet!"
She dashes into the fire pillar and back at aitome. She covers herself in the flames and tries to crash Ai through the the wall.
Aito doesn't expect the sudden dash and takes it head on, being slammed against and through the wall as she goes flying, getting up slowly as burns and cuts line her body, smiling as she places her hand on the sheath of a katana on her back, glowing with a light orange
How about we end this? No more games!
As she prepares the next strike, Ai uses her other hand to send spikes of hardlight towards Ina to buy some time as she charges up the finale
(A greenish 7'3 man...ish, as soon as he walks in, anyone who had eyes would see his legs part would not be legs, but body of a snake, and it oddly !looks like when he was a snakipede) I hate life.i hate society.and I hate inzangi
(edited by Reperzel)
She's planning something! I can't let her get that off, or else I'm toast, literally!
She attempts to create a wall of flame to attempt to block the spikes, while sending a blast of fire toward Ai.
(He slithers by the fight)...ay, I may be nicer, I was before I was human
The flaming wave works perfectly in damaging Ai, stopping the spikes however is a different story. They pass right through it before spiking Ina, Ai on her last legs however as a click is heard
Alright.. Gonna have to shoot for a tie.. Let's try this new thing out...
With a glint of light shining off the weapon, Aitome pulls out a katana with symbols, runes and a mess of electronics, a true monster of a sword, as she holds on it begins to swap between an red and a white glow, eventually mixing as blips light up
Haha! Let's give this baby a test run! 1, 10, 100, 1000, 10000, 100000 1000000! Blazing Blade! BURNING DETERMINATION!
Ai then slashes runs with the blade completely lit up and slashes once across Ina, nothing seems to happen yet as she swings the blade around
Just wait for it...
Ina closes her eyes and flinches in fear but the she realizes it didn't do anything yet.
".......Huh."
She decides now's her chance and attempts to land the finishing blow herself, jumping up into the air and firing a bunch of fireballs at each other to make a big one, then Kicking it down and following it.
"SPECIAL MOVE: STAR DROP!"
Wow, surprised no one ain't noticing yet
The sound of thunder would echo out as lvl 1 Izanagi would appear next to Rep in a bolt of furious lightning.
"Hahaha! Get reckt nerd! Turned you back into a snake!"
Mate, I'm just half snakipede, my waist is my snake part when I was, I'm still half human, just, my legs has now turned into my snake part
As fury approaches Aitome she smiles and brings the blade close to the sheath, sliding it mostly in before speaking
I suppose that will be a suitable end. Not bad.. Not bad at all..
When the attack has almost hit, Ai pushes the blade fully in and a small click is heard. Ina could see the slash slowly begin to glow as multiple explosions of light and fire burst from the slash, meanwhile Ai also gets shredded by the giant fireball, creating a small crater in the floor before she gets up, blacked with ash and smoke as the red glow in her eyes fades
G-geez.. Did you really have to blow her up so much Korumi? Are you okay over there?!? Answer me!
"Still, get reckt nerd! I am the original god! Izaaaanaaagiiii!"
Ina gets absolutely destroyed by the slashes and explosions. She gets up, but not without being in alot of pain.
"O-ow...."
She looks at Ai with a smile
"Say, you fight really well! I didn't expect that!"
*Asha wakes up, stretching before looking around*
Huh. I fell asleep. That was unintentional. Guess I must have taken much more damage than I thought.
Not you, im talking bout inzami, I think, keep mixing ya two up, I'm talking bout the god of death that turned me Into a human
(edited by Reperzel)
With a sigh of relief Ai raises her hand in the air and a green light emits from her hand, healing most of their wounds, or at least the most pressing. However when Ina compliments her she scratches the back of her hand with an awkward smile
That's good! You dying here should have been pretty bad! We don't need any more death here! As for the fight uh, hehe, I wasn't exactly the one fighting... It was Korumi. I've basically got a little case of split personality disorder! But I've got it all figured out! I appreciate the compliment though! Even if it shouldn't be for me!
Ina creates a flame and walks into it. It heals her up. She begins to walk towards Ai.
"Well, it was still kinda you. It wasn't exactly your brain, but it was your body!"
She sticks out her hand and smiles.
"My name's Ina. Nice to meet you, even if we just fought a few seconds ago!"
Ai takes the hand and shakes it, before looking around and panicking
I guess you could say that! But really it was all her! Me alone I can't do much unfortunately! Anyways its nice meeting you Inie! But I've gotta run! I'll see you later alright? Bye!
Ai then runs out the door and down the street, disappearing
Well, she's gone (he sighs in boredom)...God of death....why did I make that deal for fucks sake
