<i>She'll take what she can get, and raises the Stand's left arm up even while it keeps on melting down his armor. One second, and it's fired off with a massive blast from the arm. A stand energy based railgun, firing with truly absurd power and speed towards her foe's chest and head with a massive spray of energy. The recoil of such a weapon sends her Stand moving backwards though, even while digging into the ground with the inhuman might of their metal legs. Naturally that forces the woman herself to move back, and the flames will only last for a few more seconds as her enemy's spear breaks free from the cables.</i> &quot;No telling how much good that'll do, but I can hope to do something it doesn't recover from too quickly...&quot;

<i>The woman mutters a curse under her breath, a self repairing Stand then? Automatic type perhaps. Her Stand is struck dead on, chest shifting into a tough metallic form mere moments before the spear can come into contact. Even with that defense up, both fighters are still pushed backward a few meters by the impact.</i> &quot;I see, well you're pretty good at going forward... You didn't seem to shocked by my little trick, so I'm guessing you're a [Stand User] as well.&quot; <i>Could use guns, she did place some in that new chest but... That repairing is a pain to cope with. There must be some trick to it, and if Akia can figure that out then winning this fight becomes far easier.</i> &quot;As usual in these fights, it comes down to who can use their head more than who can throw a better punch eh? But I'm woefully straightforward.&quot; <i>Her left leg shifts at that point, thin and barely viable cables slowly creeping out from the Stand's transformed leg. Even as it rushes forward to try and keep up the pressure, its true aim is spreading about the cables while the user watches for a moment.</i>

<i>How long can she hold out indeed... It is a simple Stand to be sure, but that's fine in this case. She's got an idea, and it isn't a good idea maybe. But it'll have to do, the cybernetic eyes begin calculating something with rapid speed.</i> &quot;Yeah, this is kind of a pain for me. That's why I tried to kill you right off the bat and all, good trick avoiding it though man.&quot; <i>This move is a gamble, it's all or nothing really. Her Stand tosses the young woman up into the air with inhuman strength and speed, easily flying up high enough to be on the level with his cube in an instant. That'd hopefully dodge the robot on the ground, but of course leave her wide up to his gunfire if her next move fails. The left arm's been replaced with a grappling hook, more like a harpoon gun on a very thick cable really. It shoots for him with incredible speed and aims to pull the man towards her if it makes contact. If that happened, her Stand would quickly begin unleashing a scary fast and strong flurry of blows into his chest that sends him crashing down to earth.</i> &quot;The thing about simple Stands however, they tend to be real nasty when they have a clear shot.&quot;

<spoiler>I'm gonna be sporadic at best for an hour and a half, so if that's not okay then you can safely ignore me. </spoiler> <i>A young woman who appears to be in her early 20s wanders up to the building, there's a few cuts and scrapes lining her hands, face, and the black jacket with jeans she's wearing. </i> &quot;A dojo huh? I guess that I could try my hand, haven't worked on the ole actual martial arts as much lately.&quot; <i>She'd greet those already here with a wave and smile, eyes gleaming slightly while she examines the pair and absently pulls her headphones off one ear.</i> &quot;Yo, so you're teaching martial arts or something right? Name's Akia, and I've been around the block on that front a time or two. Can't hurt to keep my skills sharp though, so I'm game to learn if you're teaching.&quot;

<i>Akia sighs and stares the woman over. Telling... Her powers... That goes against every instinct she's got. But perhaps a watered down version, tell one part but not the whole thing. </i> &quot;I... Shapeshifting of a kind. I replace my body with cybernetics, that's the gist of things anyways. The biggest limitation is really in what I'm capable of imaging that's workable, so I've gotten pretty good at mechanical engineering.&quot; <i>She shrugs slightly with that statement. Already feeling like far too much has been said. If they're [Like Her] then they'll already know, but there's still a big card up her sleeves if they aren't.</i> &quot;Anything you can suggest for working with that?&quot;

<i>Illusions and slight of hand... So she meant that kinda mental defense, now there's something she can work with.</i> &quot;Hah, getting possessed or something? Can't say my powers have ever done that man. Anyways yeah, illusions are... A hobby of mine, not magical ones or anything. I just enjoy tricks and such is all. So yeah, I get what you're saying there. It's amazing how often a simple distraction can do so much.&quot; <i>She cracks her knuckles slightly at that point, yeah that sounds about right... In some types of fights, if you can't think fast and smart then you've already lost.</i> &quot;Yeah I can do that. I'd like to think I'm decent at that kinda stuff already, but you can always get better with it.&quot;

<i>How did she get it... There's a fun question, she grins widely while going on to explain that one.</i> &quot;To put a very long story short? My family dragged me along for a vacation to America one time, I've always been into weird rumors and myths kinda... Heard about some weird desert pass, locals called it uh, a 'Devil's Palm' I think?&quot; <i>She'd utter the phrase 'Devil's Palm' slowly while rubbing the back of her head. Clearly not entirely sure if she's recalling it correctly.</i> &quot;Anyways, they said the place killed almost all who went through it, and granted the survivors some mysterious powers... Naturally I went!&quot; <i>The black bodysuit wearing woman with a visor would appear behind her at that point, though clearly making no hostile moves.</i> &quot;She's the result, [I Am Machine]! No points for guessing why I picked the name. As for what I know about them, not much beyond being mental power's manifestations into a physical form, and that we seem to run into each other eventually.&quot;

<i>No damage... Could be a new weapon, something freshly made. But that's unlikely.</i> &quot;Hah, for me the people using than them are usually the real issue. And I'm going to say fake, it's gotta be either fake or amazingly new because I can tell that barrel's seen no use.&quot;

<i>Magic items... This woman so casually tots out a mystical object? The rational part of her mind wants to say it must be fake.</i> &quot;Hahaha, the flailing? Sorry to say, but you strike me as crazy enough to do that with a real gun. I could be a false impression, but I don't think so sensei.&quot; <i>She's far from an expert in this kinda stuff, unlike the tech which she actually understood quite well. The magic item she's simply staring at very carefully and hope for the best.</i> &quot;I'ma be real, I don't really deal in this kind of magic stuff very often. So I'm sort of winging it here. The tech I'm great with, but this... Outside my ballpark.&quot;

<i>Akia chuckles slightly upon realizing the true levels of misdirection going on here. That's pretty clever, but against her eyes...</i> &quot;The grenade is fake, obviously so even. But that bomb... It isn't nuclear, it's some kind of explosive I've never seen before. I do hope you weren't planning to fire that thing off though sensei, that would be rather dangerous to most of us. Clever though, saying the real one is fake then tossing something else out.&quot;
