Tomaru disappeared out of sight behind the edge of the platform. Aw. Why would he go all rabbity like that? Was he afraid of Fuchsia? Had he seen the terrible weapon he wielded in action? He had a reason to be afraid. Fuchsia would demonstrate the terrible power he wielded, even if his opponent was about to disappear out of sight. Fear was a weapon in itself. A nuclear deterrent could very well end the battle. "Look'at this!" Fuchsia shouted loudly as Hitler's rocket-tipped face emerged from his launcher, hitting it's original target, the spoot where Tomaru was standing a mere moment ago, with terrible effect. Parts of the platform itself was blasted apart by the vastly powerful explosion, it's pieces sent flying all over the place. The demon child took a solid one to the face, breaking his nose, and shattering more than a few teeth, before the blast-wave itself sent him flying backwards before he could even land. He was hurled into the edge of the platform he originally jumped from, dampening the impact with his left arm, a loud crack emitting from his elbow as a thick sharp bone forced itself through the skin. The darkened stone surface was splattered with the velvet liquid it contained.

Fuchsia dropped to the ground below. Blood dripping. He smiled wickedly. This was a good pain. A pleasant pain. He needed more!

I can see how my wording could be a bit vague. I will make sure to be better in the future. Thank you for being understanding, I'm glad we resolved it. I fully agree with everything you just said. Sorry you have to re-write things :/

As for stats, I see your logic. I just felt I had to point it out so that I'd get a clearer picture of how Tomaru is visually presenting his speed and strength throughout the battle, and I think what you just said will do nicely. You're a cool guy for taking things as well as you did, kudos. I'm always worried about people being upset when/if I start questioning their moves and character OOC.

I´m familliar with such, Ruronihs. Not to worry :)

Fuchsia´s jump was aimed at the opposite end of the platform, Tomaru moved to Fuchsia´s intended landing point, therefore the distance 44 feet if he is jumping towards the nearest edge of the platform Fuchsia jumped from, or 59 if he´s aiming for the middle.

The fact that he´s jumping before Fuchsia even fires the rocket is interesting though, but I´ll adress that point on my next IC post (why fire at an opponent who´s no longer there?) - As for Tomaru´s running speed and jumping capabilities. Sure, Tier 5 allows you to defeat Trinity with ease and so on; and I agree that Tomaru´s reflexes are well up there, but nowhere (That I can see) is Tomaru´s running speed, or strength, specified :/

Edit: Made a dot drawing. Didn´t show up as intended at all. Damn.

I´ll wait a bit longer for an OOC reply from him then. I just had to make sure I wasn´t walking into a forfeit ^_^

Err. I´m in a bit off pickle. I inquired upon a few issues I had with my opponent´s latest post, no big ones.. but big enough for me to halt my posting process. My time limit runs out in a few hours, but I´m reliant upon his OOC response before posting. What do I do? I guess I could ask for a ruling to save time, but I feel that´s going past him on something that we can easily sort out between the two of us. Dilemma.

I think you're misjudging the altitude and speed of the rocket. In no way will Tomaru be able to land on the other platform before the rocket hits.

Distance between Tomaru and the other platform: 44 feet (edge) or 59 feet (middle)
Distance between Hitler Rocket and Tomaru: 25 feet.

Rocket speed: Likely a lot faster than the unspecified dashing speed capabilities of Tomaru.

Altitude: Fuchsia hits the ground before the rocket lands it's mark, meaning he's not that high up to begin with. You're allowed to assume at which altitude he's going at, but by logic, it's the opposite of what you thought ^_^

It was at times like these that Fuchsia really enjoyed himself. The heat of battle was indescribably satisfying, the thrill of a kill, nothing else could compare. The enemy of the day, a human swordsman of sorts, had fallen into the trap of assuming he didn't plan ahead. A grave mistake. Fuchsia was nothing if not cunning when it came to devising methods of carnage. One could say it was in his blood. One of the million demon-spawn that roamed the deep and fiery caverns of the realm infernal. He was nothing special, not when compared to his peers. A no-name soldier in an expendable legion of the damned. If not he, but one from the royal bloodline had been sent to the realm he currently found himself in, then the tournament itself would not have mattered. It would have been an invasion. A dimension ripe for the taking. The current owner would put up a fight, no doubt, but would he be formidable enough an opponent to come out on top? Fuchsia had his suspicions that there was more to the skeleton than meets the eye. Well, at least more than the human he was up against. Silly man.

Fuchsia was expecting his foe to move over to intercept his landing, and that was just what he did. Sword in hand, of course, what else would he have done? The demon child was still soaring through the air when the swordsman dashed towards his landing point. Expecting him to continue on that path, planning to impale him on his blade, no doubt. Well. That was not what was about to happen. When Fuchsia came in above the platform, on the opposite side of his intended landing point, he aimed his hellzooka towards the dashing man, and once he stopped, Fuchsia fired the triple-charged Hellzooka. "YOUR MOTHER IS A WHORE!" The Hellzooka shouted. The massive recoil halted Fuchsia's velocity, and he landed on the edge of the platform opposite Tomaru. But not before a rocket with Hitler's screaming face on it hurled towards his foe, who was clearly preparing for a completely different type of attack. He braced himself, knowing full well that the blast from the explosion would knock him off the platform.. or worse, even though he was well out of it's normal kill radius. Such was the power of Rocket Hitler.

The explosion went off, but had clearly not done any damage. Oh well. Seems like parts of it was coming back too, weird. Fuchsia couldn't recall that ever happening before. Some kind of special ability his opponent possessed? A barrier of sorts? Telekinesis perhaps. Didn't really matter. Those skullnades were absolutely awful. There hadn't been a single instance in which a formidable opponent had been injured by em. Good opener though, always revealed all kinds of nasty tricks. The human in front of him was.. well.. more of a beef than average. Would it be a problem? Nah. Re-directing the force of an exploding skullnade seemed like a waste of energy. If he was that frightened by such measly weaponry, then how would he react to Fuchsia's signature hellzooka in action? The mere thought of it made Fuchsia drool. Oh. Right. Explosion.

Would it hit him? Was it strong? Eh? Fuchsia didn't really give a fuck, he took a few quick steps to the side and rushed forward, avoiding the whole thing altogether if it even got that far, jumping off his own platform towards his opponent's, intent on landing at the edge on the opposite side of it. While doing so, he flipped his "club" over his shoulder and grabbed the handle with his right hand. It was still searching for strong souls.

He smiled. Silly humans. Just as he had been taught in demon kindergarden; tell them anything, they will belive it without question. Fuchsia started tapping his feet to the ground, he was getting restless. His body hungered for chaos and carnage, for the tasty meaty lifeforce of the man before him. All in good time, he assured himself, all in good time. He licked his lips with his tongue. The hellzooka continued it´s search for a strong soul.

"Pleased to meet´cha Tomaru. I am Fuchsia." - Noting the man´s tail, "You have a tail too? This is truly a match made in heav-.." He threw up in his mouth.

"Ugh.." A smooth brown liquid pimpled out between his lips and dripped onto the floor. He wiped the greasy saliva off his chin. "Sorry about that."

"..Traps, eh? I never heard the skull guy say anything about that being illegal. I happen to be a trapmaker." He pulled out Nathan-nade. "Why don´t you take this? It´s an intelligent magical beartrap of sorts. Goes by the name of Nathan Markson." - "Hi." - Nathan-nade said. "Nathan Markson will, once you pull his mouth open and put him down, merge with the ground. When our opponents step on it, it will push them into the air. It will be very effective if we use that moment to attack. I´ve got two of them. If you place this one by the statue over there on your side, I´ll do the same here." - He tossed the skullnade towards Tomaru. "Nathan Markson also has a beatiful singing voice, if you´re into that kind of thing." Fuchsia giggled.

"It´s true. I do!" Nathan-nade said as he soared through the air. A big smile on his face. "I believe I can-.." - "Hail mary." Fuchsia yelled cheerfully when the little skull got close enough.
