ALL HOPE IS GONE (Xavier Vs. Auz)

@Xavier Bloodbayne

At this point, Auz should be significantly faster than Xavier. It's how he breaks even against Xavier's durability and strength. If his best swings can't cut through bone and blood armor, then it was a rather moot fight to begin with.

Even more credibility to it considering Auz was poised to strike the entire time, and Xavier's left arm was lowered. That's a feint based purely upon Xavier's physical prowess, like if I lowered my arm, let an angry eleven year old girl walk over, and then brought it back up to punch her in the face.

Speed is Auz's game much more so than Xavier's, so saying that Xavier can match Auz's strike is what doesn't cut it. Lending speed to a whip with a foot of motion should scarcely allow it to channel nary a fraction of the speed or power of Auz's swing, as it'd have far less mass behind it and as it grew out during the swing, it'd not have the full momentum of that meager foot. You seem to imply that the raw dynamic strength in Xavier's blood and body can boost him enough to match Auz. That pretty much gives him every advantage, in terms of strength, hard-to-killness, reach, and speed.

Xavier might have expected his opponet to get close, but his feint was an opening before the superior speed of Auz. After all, the fleet swordsman's counter came immediately after Xavier's initial attack, and so at the very best Xavier could expect to launch his second at the same time as Auz's, whose blow would be faster, and hence might land first. If Xavier wasn't devoting any attention to stopping Auz's swing, then he'd probably wind up without a head. It'd be worth noting that since Auz was aiming for the base of the neck, the chance of Xavier having second thoughts and trying to duck or otherwise Matrix his way out (without having intended to do so until having seen the conclusion of his own counter) would be slim to none. He was trying to beat Auz at his own game. That being said, Xavier's attack probably would land, as Auz was in the midst of his swing.

*A single trade, a split second fight. The most likely result? Two deaths, Auz sheared by Xavier's whipswords, Xavier missing a significant fraction of his cranium. The ghosts of both warriors might even spit snarky insults as they waft upwards.*

Hope Santa gave you the true meaning of Christmas or whatever! Anyways, I'm always keeping an eye out for events.

It was a good thing Auz had cleared his mind, otherwise he'd have probably been too confused to react immediately. As it was, his senses were fast enough to keep up with his body. He slid his right foot back, twisted his body sideways, and leaned away, all in the same, fluid motion with nearly flawless mechanical skill. Nearly. It had been a fast surprise attack, after all, there was little chance of Auz getting out unscathed. A normal stab would have glanced off of Auz's breastplate as he turned himself to the side, but at these speeds steel was but a paltry defense. A groove was gouged over Auz's right pectoral, biting into flesh and reaching the bone. Instead of shying away from the pain, Auz darted a blurring skip forwards along the outside of Xavier's extended weapon, paying careful attention to spacing to ensure that he could keep his opponent in slashin' range. Were Auz to get close enough, then with his left foot leading and his right crushing a furrow into the ground with the forces exerted, his raised sword would spite the air with its speed, literally whistling as it seared a horizontal arc for the base of the front of Xavier's neck. Auz wasn't hitting like a bantamweight anymore. From this point on, the intensity of his attacks would be of such magnitude that even a monster like Xavier might feel the old reaper looming behind him, a pair of bony hands massaging his shoulders. At any rate, this meant that Auz was reaching his blade over Xavier's own, but due to his superior acceleration, it'd be a nigh improbable feat for the blood-manipulator to bring his long right weapon up in time to guard. Mayhaps he could shorten his sword just as effectively for close combat, but even then the timing would be tighter than a triple granny knot.

Auz approached Xavier once he had gotten to within eight feet, hunkering into a half crouch as he moved, shield and dagger lowered. His eyes had become flat and vacant, all distracting thoughts clearing out. Soon Xavier's sword would be in reach.

Auz remained where he was, sliding his left foot back and bringing his sword up over his head. Auz puckered his lips up and began making fart noises. Truly a frightening tactic.

Auz nodded, and then pierced his brain one more time, using up his last suicide. He was going to be at full power now. He rematerialized in nearly the same spot as before, stretching his arms out and rolling his neck.

Auz suddenly plunged a dagger into his left eye socket, going down like a sack of potatoes. When he appeared again, it'd be twenty feet behind Xavier. Looks like he felt the desire to start powering up. He only had one more suicide left though.

Predator Vs. Ewoks (Liliya Vs. Doc)

@Liliya

I think it'd be fitting for you to take up the first post, the Predator's arrival?



The battle takes place on the Forest Moon of Endor, deep in the heart of Ewok territory.



As seen in the below article link, there are exactly fifty-one named Ewoks, and so, that will be the number for the Predator to defeat. I'll list the name of each Ewok and what action they perform, and whenever one dies, I will cross out its name from the list.
