******************** Ryomi Fiett Leitannia vs. Bloodshot (Match 1) ******************** The combination of his armor and faster than expected movement speed and reactions allowed him to catch the energy ball. With his armor able to protect against the destructive force of the energy, the actual physical impact did little damage. Despite it's larger size, the energy had less mass than a bullet, which was far more dense than her energy was. Of course she could make her energy more dense if she wanted to obliterate him, but that would take more charge time to compress the energy and she didn't exactly want to resort to that yet, even if she was able to somehow only catch him in the blast. It could be possible that his armor would take most of the force and would leave everything else untouched even if she did sent out a powerful attack, but there was still the problem of missing. She'd have to tread carefully either way. "Don't listen to his taunts," her sister ordered. "But if I beat him with my sword that would eliminate all possibility of collateral damage," Ryomi explained. "This man is fast and strong, the extent of which we don't know. It's too dangerous." Grr. Ryomi gritted her teeth. Her sister had a good point, and they did share a body after all, so it wouldn't be fair to entirely disregard her advice. But she had a point too! She hovered in mid air for a bit, watching her opponent for any sudden movements while pondering her situation. "Stop pouting. I can hear your thoughts, even if it's not directed at me," her sister said, interrupting her inner monologue. "But I can see what this means to you. If we end up killing innocents we'd be worse off than being dead. I can respect that...okay, here's the deal. Let's mind switch me into direct control. I'll use my sword fighting experience and see what we can do against him, but if this vessel of mine gets killed, once we can find a way into a new one you owe me a drink; a big one. And...all you can eat fish tacos." "Fine, fine," Ryomi responded. Using their deep connection between one another she could feel her body become numb and then turn as if nonexistent, in return allowing her sister that spot. "Alright, now get going sis!" She demanded. Ryomi (as she will still be called), flew quickly down to the skyscaper, her feet touching the ground 10 feet away from him as she came to a smooth stop. Her large meat cleaver looking sword was now in her right hand, pointed at him. She didn't make any other move, waiting to see how quickly he could approach. Unlike her sister Ryomi, she had a tactical mind and would certainly be using it to her advantage here, even if she had to handicap herself to please her sister. ******************** Cellinli Lienfeld vs. Niks (Match 1) ******************** She let out a little yelp as the two eyeballs, most likely attached to something else hiding in the shadows but you never know, started speaking to her. The words themselves weren't menacing, but that doesn't mean he or his surroundings didn't give off such an aura regardless. It was also likely a male's voice, her admittedly irrational fear, yet a fear all the same. There was no way he was getting her into that building. "Actually, I'm just passing through and have little time to waste. You see, I'm visiting my brother in an adjacent town and can't be late." Ah, what could she say about her brother. She had worked up the courage to get in the same room as him for extended periods for family get togethers, and even let him hug her on a couple of occasions, but he'd often mess with her as punishment for being late. Sneaking up behind her and ruffling her hair, for example. Even from her brother that was terrifying. She couldn't afford to be late for this meeting, just like she couldn't afford to go inside with this strange monster. She'd have to either defeat him quickly or run away quickly. "So anyways, see ya later, he he," she nervously laughed as she finished. She began to briskly walk away from him to continue along the path. During the conversation she had finished her "skates", so if she attached them to her feet she could get away rather quickly. Or she could use them to defend herself and fight if he proved too difficult to get away from. Hopefully he didn't force her hand. ******************** Evvie vs. Aurelia (Match 1) ******************** Evvie jerked to the side as something caught her attention out of the corner of her eye; a new figure that had appeared as if out of nowhere and was now rushing in. Actually, by new figure it was the same figure as the one she had just been speaking too, only she was now in two places at once! Or was this one an evil twin? Or maybe the original was the evil twin? Actually, maybe there were no evil twins after all and it was more than likely something else. Her head would hurt if she tried to figure this out from such little information she had going for her and she didn't have the time regardless. There was a battle to be fought, and most battles could be won simply by smashing them before they could smash you, not standing around thinking about useless facts. She'd show her for using cheap tactics like...whatever this was?! She sprung into action, quite literally, towards the approaching figure as she got within range for such an action. She didn't know how strong this person could hit so would have to assume a swing from that scythe could be deadly. As such she would try to grab a hold of the handle with her left hand and yank it out of her grip while she punched her across the face with her right fist. If this person defended herself before she could get in safely to deal with the scythe than she'd have no choice but to flap her wings to get overhead of any swings and come down from behind, stomping downward onto her head.
