*dodges knives* Ah but you forget my friend. I am the flame, and the flame is myself. *draws blade in Iaido* *releases flame wave* It is important to recognize and respect another warrior's skills, friend. For it is what defines them and them alone on the battlefield. *draws revolver in other hand* To make oneself use a different form of skill to accommodate the other is like defacing a statue, my friend. *shoots six shots at you but doesn't spin* *reloads with custom .35 rounds* *takes battle stance with revolver in left and katana in right* *wings blaze* So we shall not battle with mere blade and bullet, no, we shall battle with the very weapons that become the extensions of our warring souls! *all equipment blazes with fire* Water may counteract regular fire yes, but nothing can dampen the will of a warrior! *fires three shots at you* *flies into you, slashing the hip again* *stops and turns to face you* *slashes at your gun, disarming you once more* *slashes across chest* *backsteps with force, drawing more ashes from the ground*
