[b]Stratos slams his molten ribbons into the ground, creating another shield, obscuring your views. The spear rockets out of the mansion and into Stratos's hands. Unseen to you the spear melts into a massive sword boasting two blades running parallel to each other.[/b]
[i]That's of no concern.[/i]
[b]Stratos drives the blade into the ground, and a lightning bolt from an unseen cloud rips across the sky, briefly illuminating the battlefield. The bolt strikes the mass of metal Stratos hides in, causing it to explode into a mass of razor sharp shards which riddle the surrounding area.[/b]

*You hear a yelp, followed immediately by a double [i]whump[/i]. Then another shriek. Maya Sundaresh had attempted to get out of the way but was pierced by shrapnel once before teleporting and once after when she reappeared right in the path of a last shard. The clones are gone.* [b]My Shihan always said metal never belongs inside muscle.. Now I can understand that sentiment. Again.[/b] *Maya crouches down and slams her fist into the ground. Grabs ahold of an access point and stands up, then leaning far back. A massive tear between the dimensions open. She releases a massive amount of thick, tangible shadows that attempt to bog you down. With that she steps in through her own portal. (Unbeknownst to you she returns again about 400 feet in the air. Falling down with her mask still covering her face. Featureless.)
-
[b]Stratos desperately searches for you while hopelessly attempting to chop away the shadow goop.[/b]
-
*You hear a screaming whistle from Maya's free fall above you. Another spear is in her hand. And a spiked shield that looks like it belongs in a museum. (Probably came from one. She might've gone and stole it from somewhere before coming back) the shadow [i]slop[/i] retreats at Maya's advancement*
-
[b]Stratos reacts by shoving the sword into the ground once more, calling another bolt from the sky. It travels through you and connects with the ground[/b]

Edited by Doos: 4/18/2016 1:05:35 AM[spoiler]clones can be remade a turn after the last one is destroyed. I told you that tidbit for a possible counter of leaving one alive or disabled so I'd be unable to conjure up more. Mwahahaha but you destroyed them all with shrapnel fooool! Mwahahahaha. I mean.... Yeah.. Nvm[/spoiler] *the lightning destroys the lone clone with utter ferocity. In the chaos of the sound from the lightning's thunder Maya snuck up behind you. You feel a knife point touching your spine.* [b]Goodnight friend.[/b] *she thrusts foward with her fast reflexes* [spoiler]PSA: Not a killing blow. It's a disabling blow at it's best. Severs the spinal cord or at least damages it. Unless you have a trick up your sleeve?[/spoiler]
-
[b]The blade easily pierces the metal core of Stratos, but does little to deter him.[/b] [spoiler]Sorry if you didn't know, Stratos is more or less like a spirit thing inside an automaton. You gotta bang up his host so he can't fight. Super duper mages can also kick him out of his host too but I don't think you're one of those. https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/196999792/0/0/1 [/spoiler] [b]Stratos spins quickly, leaving the sword in the ground and grabbing your hand with his, crushing it.[/b]
-
[spoiler]host as in the automaton body? Or do you have a seal to break? I'm confused on how I can actually fight you with a chance of winning...... What have I gotten myself into.[/spoiler] *Maya screams in pain and then grabs a heavy sword from an access point behind her. She swings it with the other hand and brings it down on the intruding arm that dared to crush her hand* [spoiler]hopefully severing the metal? Or is your armor something that normal stuff can't cleave?[/spoiler]
-
[b]The blade slices through the synthetic flesh and dents the metal frame severely.[/b] [b]Stratos punches you in the face with his other hand before releasing his grip and kicking you away so he can retrieve his own sword.[/b] [spoiler]Just keep chopping eventually something will fall off. Maybe.[/spoiler]

Edited by Doos: 4/18/2016 3:26:52 AM*Maya drops the cumbersome sword. She has never enjoyed using a large blade like that. She pulls out her spear. Presses a release latch hidden in the butt of the pole. The wood splits in half along the spear, falling off and revealing a black blade that looks extremely flimsy. She twists the spear head off and tosses it aside. She now holds her sword. [b]I haven't revealed this blade in decades. It's composed of a metal that grows within the [i]City Under the Sun[/i]. I can't tell you how many times I've tried to break it out of anger at the sight of it. But I know it will serve me well here.[/b] *Maya adopts her signature low stance. Sword held above her head. She charges to a slightly left path toward you. With a double [i]whump[/i] she disappears from view and reappears five feet above you, facing your neck. Sword out to the right. Swinging faster than what should be humanely possible.*
-
[b]My head is lopped off and rolls to the side. My voice Emanates from inside my core.[/b] [i]Hmmph.[/i] [b]Stratos swings in a tight arc and knocks you out the sky, catching you between the blades and slamming you into the ground[/b]

Edited by Doos: 4/18/2016 3:47:40 AM[spoiler]About the spear/sword: constructed by forming shadows, this is a preset weapon, and has no copies(if stolen I have to get it back). This weapon is hardly used except in desolate anger. When facing a dire situation, this spear can be revealed to be a thin sword by removing the wooden staff outer edges. It is a Cursed blade stolen from Maya's father. Composed of metal that grows within the City Under the Sun. Nigh unbreakable. Believe me. Maya has tried again and again in anger to destroy it. It enhances the speed of the wielder tenfold. And there is very little it cannot cleave. Magic has no effect on the Cursed blade. It resists transfer of any energy. Can be destroyed by throwing it in a new born star, and left alone for two months. But in doing so. The curse it wields will be released upon destruction. It's downfall of using the blade unprotected by the staff's form is that Maya will begin to become possessed. Once fully possessed. The sword must be physically removed from her person and she must be exorcised of the demons. DO NOT ALLOW HER TO ENTER THE SHADOW REALM WHILE POSSESSED. IF THIS HAPPENS. SHE COULD WREAK HAVOC WITHOUT EVER GETTING APPREHENDED AGAIN.[/spoiler] *Maya lands hard with a grunt. Several ribs crack and she only grunts. Her face (the mask now broken off) reveals a wild look with a touch of pure evil. But it soon is replaced, with effort, for an angry face.* [b]For your sake, and my own, I hope I do not need to hold this Cursed blade for long[/b] *Maya somersaults to her feet and begins to attack you with a flurry of swipes, stabs, and slams. With each movement her face flickers with a dark look.*
-
[b]Stratos pulls another wall of metal out of the ground under you, knocking you upwards. The blade goes into the wall, and a lightning bolt is called, hoping to catch you in its path. Stratos quickly abandons the sword and dashes away, fearing that you may dodge the attack. [/b]
-
*Caught off guard, Maya is thrown into disarray and tossed into a heap from the bolt. The sword, refusing to lose it's wielder took the brunt of the blow. But it causes the process of the possession to speed up. Maya's body, smoking and slightly burnt, stands back up on her feet as if pulled by puppet strings. She shakes her head and clears the confusion away.* [b]That wasn't such a great idea. But thanks[/b] *The voice wavers between raspy and Maya's normal voice. She raises her hand and yanks a shadow clone from her dimension, throws it to the ground like a rag doll. She infuses it with a bit of her soul shadows to make it stronger and more withstanding. Yanks it to her feet and points at the direction Stratos went.* [b]Hunt. Now.[/b]
-
[i]Oh god. Hey pants! should we do something about that?it looks not good at all.[/i] [spoiler]Should I be concerned for the well being of your character should you get possessed?[/spoiler] [b]Stratos' face, which is lying of the ground a few feet to your right harbors a look of genuine concern. The rest of Stratos pulls a strange tri-bladed knife from an unseen pocket and holds it in front of him, waiting. A gentle humming can be heard, and if you took the time to notice, the snow around us begins to become slushy.[/b]
-
Edited by Doos: 4/18/2016 5:43:28 AM[spoiler]nah. If you read the healing description in my bio link. Average wounds will heal after the fight. Limbs are iffy but a flip of the coin will tell me if I'm good. But do we have an exorcist in the dojo? Because not too much longer and Maya will be fully possessed. I can be exorcised if the blade is removed from contact with me. [/spoiler] *Maya, currently busy being slowly consumed by possession, doesnt notice the melting snow. She hears the incoming whistle from her hunting clone. She dashes to the sound and sees Stratos. She grins an evil smirk.* [b]Hmm. I do believe I found my prey.[/b] *with a [i]whump[/i] she's standing in front of you. Blade resting on her shoulder. She screams a bloodcurdling cry and leaps forward with reckless abandon*
-
[b]Stratos braces himself quickly and the air in between you and him explodes into a brilliant display of fire. Jagged projections of metal rise from the ground, jutting towards the flames, anticipating your attack.[/b]
-
*a group of shadows had been hiding behind her back. It covers her in a full body shield. Not impenetrable though, just enough shielding to protect her from the worst of it. So she grunts in pain. Her legs falter, she screams in an angry agony.* [b]I REFUSE TO LOSE TO A DOG LIKE YOU[/b] *Maya's voice is becoming raspier, with a slight metallic after effect on the voice. She falls on her knee. Then leaps forward with another demonic battle cry*
-
[b]The spikes remain vigilant in their watch, and Stratos Prepares to parry your jab as you leap towards him [/b]
-
Edited by Doos: 4/18/2016 8:05:38 PM[spoiler]so the spikes have an awareness of their own?[/spoiler] *Maya starts zigzagging between the spikes. Constantly coming in and out of the other dimension to avoid major injury from the protrusions. She ignores the minor injuries. Tho each scrape and cut bleeds her out a bit more. She uses her erratic shadow travelling to make it difficult for you to keep track. She's ten feet, six feet, three feet, inches away from you now. The instant she reappears nearly touching you by proximity. She has her blade thrust towards you and yanks it upwards. One eye is now fully black, a hint of a blue flame dances at the eyelids.* [spoiler]i didn't say wether I stabbed you or not. But I also didn't say wether your spikes jabbed me at the end. Idk where they're located around your immediate person[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]Not really its just personification, you know like the spikes were still standing watch, waiting[/spoiler] [b]Stratos lashes out grabbing your spear near your own hand, and driving his knife into your arm. The spear blade cuts deep into my torso, under my left arm.[/b]
-
[spoiler]ohhhh ok. I got worried they'd turn around and stab me for being so close to you.[/spoiler] [spoiler]also the spear was taken apart to reveal my cursed blade. The thing that's slowly possessing for using it.[/spoiler] *Maya laughs in pain. Her arm that was stabbed falls limply to her side. A major nerve was slashed causing her to lose control of her right arm. It lifts forward limply as if being controlled by an outside source. A puppet on a string. Maya sees this and a worried look crosses her face. It soon passes and is replaced by the demonic glare.* [b]Bahaha! I might not be able to make a fist. But so be it![/b] *She thrusts her sword deeper in and then slices upward with all her might. Along with the half possession's might as well. Sparks fly as the blade cleaves with effort through your metal frame.*
-
[b]My left arm flops to the floor, in addition to some of my torso, and as your swing carries through, Stratos kicks your knee in, forcing you down. Stratos reaches over you and stabs again at the arm holding the spear-with-demon-blade, aiming at your shoulder joint.[/b]
-
Edited by Doos: 4/18/2016 8:55:32 PM[spoiler]....not a spear. Haha it was a spear. And then when I dismantled the staff part to reveal the possessing sword I twisted off the spear head. Lol[/spoiler] *Maya falls to her knee and screams as her arm is cut off at the shoulder. Both eyes are black. But they begin to fade to the normal red eye/grey eye as the sword is removed from her person. A raspy metallic guttural voices screeches from the back of her throat. She leaps forward desperately. Grabbing the sword handle in her mouth. She crouches down and leaps forward. Shadow tendrils wrap around your legs tightly. The top of her blade flying towards the center of your chest with a downward angle suggesting she means to cut you in half. The black possessed eyes are fully back and ringed with dancing, winged shaped blue flames. [spoiler]My next response will be full possession.[/spoiler]
-
[b]Another wave of metal flows over Stratos, shielding him. It's exterior is jagged and bristling with sharp points.[/b] [i]God! Just drop the sword![/i] [b]The wall explodes outwards into large shards[/b]
-
*the sword pierces through the wall and it's shards, still heading straight for Stratos. But the blast knocks Maya down and back. Her body riddled with shrapnel. She groans and staggers up to inspect her last blow, one arm missing and the other slowly dropping back down after being forced away from the swords presence.* [b]Nooo! Give it back! I. Need. It![/b] *Maya staggers forward in attempt to regain the sword and it's hold on her. Craving it. But she falls to the ground, weak from blood loss. But in her mind she's sure that the sword has done a great deal of damage in that blow*
