[color=tan]"Uh...huh,"[/color] Sarai said, still confused by all this weird terminology. Damn that Blonde Devil for not explaining jack and just throwing him into the world of Brain Burst. At least his King was happy enough to explain all of this to him, even if he still didn't know the specifics. Still, a chance to fight with Eins didn't come up so often so he nodded to her request. Might as well get some free training in without Rise present to mess things up. His cheeks did flare a little when Eins just shoved the end of her of her wire into Neuro Linker, but he tried to play it cool. Keep it cool for the ladies, especially for Miss Eins. [color=tan]"Alright, Burst Link!"[/color] he said before having his mind transferred out of his body and into the world of Brain Burst. Much like Pyrite Saber, he and his King found themselves in an Alley with a wide expanse laid out before them. Looking down, he could see that his body had changed into that of [url=http://i.imgur.com/aGsqrtX.jpg]Stark Zealot[/url]. Seriously, it was still going to take some time getting used to this stupid maid dress. At least the knives were cool looking at least. He turned to Blue Lancer and nodded, saying, [color=6ecff6]"Yeah. Though this map doesn't really provide much for a strategy."[/color] [color=0054a6]"Don't worry, Zealot. Based on her name, I think that our opponent will have as much trouble here as we. Let's go find them."[/color] Blue Lancer padded the wet streets along with Stark Zealot before realizing that this would take too long and squander the chances for Zealot learning something out of this duel. [color=0054a6]"Hold on to me, Zealot, we are going to do this the fast way."[/color] Blue Lancer extended her hand to the sky as the typical effect of one summoning their enhanced armaments was played. [color=6ecff6]"Fast way? What exactly does that mean?"[/color] Stark asked, not liking where this was going. [color=6ecff6]"And don't call me that. Call me Stark. At least that sounds less dorky than the other half."[/color] [color=0054a6][center][i]"Summon Enhanced Armament: Valkyrean Lance!"[/i][/center][/color] As she yelled the command, Blue Lancer's weapon descended from the heavens and fell right into her hand, Valkyrian Lance's Fuel Gauge appeared beside Blue Lancer's Health Bar as the satisfying sound of the booster engines whirring to life as they charged up power could be heard by Blue Lancer and Stark Zealot. [color=0054a6]"Are you ready, Zealot? On the count of three. Three... Two... One... Blastoff!"[/color] As Blue Lancer yelled, they got launched forward at an insane speed, right at the wall of a nearby building, right about to crash into oblivion, only for Blue Lancer to kick it and continue ascending the building with assistance of her rockets, until they finally reached the top, a few stories above the street level. [color=6ecff6]"Eh? What are you-put me down, put me down, put me down, put me down!"[/color] Well it was better than flat out flying. Plus this was a great excuse for him to cling onto his King with no shame or remorse. The unfortunate bit was the fact that he was too busy fearing to be dropped to enjoy the moment. If this was Eins' way of rejecting him then she could have at least let him off on the ground. And speaking of which. [color=0054a6]"We can have a better view from here. Let's see if we can find Pyrite Saber like this."[/color] Blue Lancer said as she placed Zealot back on the ground and let her Lance recharge for a bit, taking the time to look for Pyrite Saber, or at least hoping that they have been spotted by their foes, Blue Lancer's rockets where exactly stealthy, after all. [color=6ecff6]"Yeah, you go do that Miss Eins,"[/color] he muttered, still trembling all over even as he was planted on the ground. Was every chick who played Brain Burst flat out batshit crazy?!? Pyrite Saber was still waiting at the intersection yet was fully focused and aware as he had no idea yet who he dealt with. However as he heard a Loud noise in the distance he quickly reacted and his first thought was to simply seek cover in case it was a long distance missile or something. He threw himself on all four quickly switched modes and dashed out of the way. However when he realized it was not an attack he stopped and looked around. He took a moment to locate the origin of the sound then he quickly dashed towards the nearest building and scaled the wall. He was very good at climbing as he could Pierce the wall with his claws and run straight up. The small destruction also charged his special attack bar slightly. When he reached the top he scanned the area again and then ran to leap from roof to roof to travel faster. And soon enough he heard the voices of his opponents and came to an halt. He glanced down upon them from above and stood quite still while watching. [color=gold]"Fantastic weather today isn't it?... It even rains inside Brain Burst. So is it your new member's first battle? "[/color] he asked loudly to get their attention, yet sat like a feline predator ready to pounce it 's prey. After all he was still unsure if he could get a friendly battle here. [color=6ecff6]"The enemy's already here?!? Attack, attack fight, fight, win!"[/color] The ringing of Saber's voice was clear enough indication for Stark to summoning his Enhanced Armament and begin spamming knives to and fro. An obvious rookie mistake, but then again what did either Lancer or Saber expect from someone who had only started playing the game recently? Therefor, he shot off knife after knife with no hesitation. Though truth be told, it was more because he had been startled by Saber's appearance than actually wanting to throw down. A somewhat large blue visual sweat drop appeared on the side of Pyrite saber's head (anime style) as he saw what the rookie started doing, chucking daggers literally all over the place and not in the way one would use to do to set anything up, it was a panicky move indeed that made him face-palm. [color=gold]"Really?..."[/color]he mumbled to himself before rolling his eyes, this was certainly already turning into a very interesting battle, and he figured that funny rookie move answered his question clearly enough as he avoided any dagger that he needed and then simply sat through the rest that came his way. [Color=gold]"I suppose that's a clear enough answer... "[/color] he mumbled to himself as he remained where he was figuring it was up to the king to stop their minion from wasting time. [color=0054a6]"Sta-Stark, you may think a bit before doing that. Pyrite Saber is being a nice person and playing for sport. You can calm down."[/color] Blue Lancer said, resting her hand on Stark Zealot's shoulder to calm him (her?) out. [color=0054a6]"Well, Pyrite Saber, it's just as you think. I'm just helping Stark get the hang of things, unless you want me to interfere I'll just observe and block any underhanded moves, from both of you. With our combined levels, Stark shouldn't lose any burst points from a defeat and you''ll only lose some if he -or is it she?- wins. But, if you want to face me, I'm more than happy to oblige."[/color] Blue Lancer said as she rested her lance over her shoulder and waited for Pyrite Saber's reply. [color=6ecff6]"I'm a guy you know,"[/color] Stark complained, crossing his arms and glaring up at their opponent...could one even tell if he was glaring? He had ceased in his mad flailing about to listen to what his King had to say before nodding. Right. Of couse. Obviously he was just getting the enemy warmed up and intimidated. Now the real fun could begin-wait, she wasn't helping? Seriously? He was supposed to fight this Zoid ripoff alone?!? Pyrite Saber watched his two opponents and felt glad that his bet had paid off, of course being friendly with his opponents was the best and he didn't really mind looking to these two. [color=gold]"Alright, I don't mind sparring a bit with your trainee. We can always fight later eh?... Alright lets see what you got"[/color] he said then leaped From above, span around in the air and landed in front of them. [color=6ecff6]"Right then! Stand back Miss Lancer,"[/color] Stark said with a brimming fire in his eye; or was it? One could never tell with these robotic Avatars-before launching yet another barrage of knives. While it may have appeared he was attacking without focus again, in reality he was waiting for Saber to make a move. Earlier interaction told him that this guy could tank his blows so he would have to play smarter, not stronger. Pyrite Saber leaped towards one wall then skipped from it in a wall leap to just get out of the way of the daggers and land slightly closer. Yet he was curious to see if this was all the newb had in mind. But Stark wouldn't let the mecha cat get away that easily and soon sprung forward with a knife in each hand to lash out. Pyrite Saber smirked slightly out of his avatar, then as the newb sprung forth he planted his feet hard In the ground in a wide stance and swung his hands free in the air. In this moment his spikes on his back folded out, and the rain hissed more towards them as energy started gathering. [color=gold] "My turn..." [/color] he said suddenly, then leaped back in a flip, landed on all four and then charged straight ahead towards the newbie. Behind him a fiery tail emitted and his speed picked up quickly. [color=gold]"Shooting.. . Star!"[/color] he roared as he charged, it was a direct impact attack using the force of a meteor, a direct hit would deal heavy damage of course and a miss would probably leave a hole in the Wall. [color=6ecff6]"H-Hey, isn't that cheating?!?"[/color] Stark said before immediately back-pedaling. Because like hell he was going to charge in when the opponent was charging in too. So he skidded to the side, just barely avoiding the attack yet he was not unscathed. Saber's charge grazed his arm and was enough to cause some damage to him, Stark rolling on the ground and landing on his back in a less than graceful manner. At this rate, he would lose no doubt but thankfully the timer was still a factor and only one minute remained on the board. If he could just dish out some damage he might win with more health and let the timer run out. Pyrite saber rammed straight through the wall that he crashed into, a few moments later the whole building would slowly topple over and turn to rubble. Calmness would then return and the Feline avatar was not to be seen... then suddenly the sound would be broken and rubble was lifted up as the feline emerged and shook it off like it was dust on top of it. He didn't look quite as unharmed as one would think however, his avatar looked like it had taken a light beating and surely enough it had one of Starks daggers jagged in its shoulder. [color=gold]"Tsk... I'm fairly certain near nothing is against the rules here..."[/color] he replied as he bent his head slightly to the side to pull the dagger out, when he did his hp bar seemed to drop slightly, but apparently it had dropped three tenth's from full from the impact and building. However... his special gauge was fully loaded... [color=gold]"You might win if you run like hell... and if you wish to intertwine I suggest doing it now... otherwise I might Annihilate you both... "[/color] he said calmly, then suddenly a sound rang almost like a machine or something whose full ran out, the fiery aura emitting suddenly stopped and a soft trail of smoke arose from his body. [color=gold]"....Final... Nova"[/color] he whispered... The Sound of a complete ultimate Vacuum rang, the sound of the rain, lightning and all light in the area would get sucked in... then a gigantic explosion occurred with radiation burning so hot it molted the rocks of the buildings around it and dyed everything within the block in a golden Super Nova. The Explosion took a toll on Pyrite saber as well, his hit point bar dropping to about 20% yet that would hardly matter if his opponents was hit by his attack. He was gritting his teeth outside avatar state, the pain was quite real indeed and it was certainly burning him... but he had somewhat gotten used to the pain of it. [color=6ecff6]"You're still kicking even after all that? Crap, crap, crap-"[/color] [color=0054a6]"Ok, that's quite enough for this duel."[/color] Blue Lancer got back to her feet as she noticed Pyrite Saber charging his final move, it was a good one, however it still didn't accounted for the power of a King of Pure Color, or for something much greater than that, to say the truth. [color=0054a6]"You've done well, Stark, for your first duel against a an opponent other than Limit, let me handle this while you concentrate on winning."[/color] With those words, Blue Lancer Stepped in front of Stark Zealot, looking like she was going to take the brunt of the damage, to shield him. A stupid tactic, for an avatar without any defensive powers, which you would expect someone like the Green King, since they were supposed to be tanks of Brain Burst, either way she did it, with total confidence. [color=0054a6]"Blumenschild!"[/color] As Blue Lancer yelled, a shield of shinning blue energy, shaped like the petals of a flower, sprang forth, shielding her and Stark Zealot with ease. Yeah, maybe using Incarnation was a cheap move, but it's not like the Blue Legion had rules on how one should fight, as long as they fought in a fair way and gave their best. Plus, no harm was done and, since the explosion camouflaged her move, Blue Lancer doubted that Pyrite Saber saw what she just did, which only left Zealot to deal with. [color=0054a6]"It's a secret between us ;3",[/color] she seemed to say, as she turned to her underling, putting a finger over where her mouth should be. [color=6ecff6]"Uh...thanks Miss Eins?"[/color] Stark said, not exactly sure of what just happened. [color=6ecff6]"Alright, time to finish this,"[/color] he said before leaping forward with both knives in hand. No doubt Saber would have to recover from using such a potent move and seeing as he might have taken damage from using it as well, this gave him the perfect opportunity to strike. So without further ado, Stark Zealot went in with flashing eyes, ready for the kill-then the timer ran out. And just as suddenly, the match was over, leaving Stark to trip and skid onto the side. Hurt? Yes. Annoyed? Very much so. Wondering who had ended up winning the match? Oh absolutely. [hr] [center][@KoL], [@Iatos][/center]
