Once he reached a favorable area, JJ didn't play into JT's trap. Instead, he tossed Despair towards JT, and pulled out his bow. This time, he notched three arrows, aimed then horizontally, and fired them.

[i]JT could see the tilt of the bow and the three shots, and knew exactly what was to happen with the shot. So he knocked out two birds with one stone, allowing Despair to fly off into the background but that left little time to avoid the arrow, which pierced through his metal flesh and got stuck in him, the fires of his stomach burning away at the centre of the arrow's shaft. [/i]
-
Slowly running out of undamaged arrows, JJ notched another 3 arrows, tilted his bow slightly to the left, and fired diagonally.
-
[i]JT changed his tactics up this time, grabbing the middle arrow and ducking under the arrow that was highest with a spin. When he stood, the arrow he caught was thrown back at JJ, with speed thrice that of anything the bow could produce. [/i]

JJ didn't make an attempt to dodge. Instead, he simply stood up and welcomed the arrow. He had attempted to do this with his own blade before while he was using Despair. If it didn't work then, it wouldn't work with an arrow using the same energy. The arrow merely pinged off of Rage, ineffective. JJ then willed Despair back to him, from behind JT. He attempted to hit JT's left arm on the way back, with the hope of at least damaging it.

Edited by JT of Winterhold: 11/30/2016 11:17:06 PM[i]JT's leftmost arm was impaled by the blade but due to the skeletal make of it, the blade only cut on the side of the augment, rendering the drill augmentation within useless but also trapping Despair, for JT to pull it out and bend the blade into a C-shape with his raw strength. [/i]

However, whenever JT grabbed the hilt, or whatever part of the blade, a massive wave of sadness overcame him; and it felt as if it digging up negative memories, no matter how far down they were buried. The aura around Despair grew darker, signifying the strengthening of the sword. It had fed off of the negativity, like some twisted sort of vampire. All the while, the blade still attempted to push through JT's arm. JJ was still calling it, and the strengthening of Despair only made it get farther into the arm.
-
[i]That was where JJ made his final folly, for JT had only gotten so sad and angered once in his life. Soon the Marshal grabbed the sword with his right hand, his own raw strength and rage overcoming the will of JJ as he grabbed the sword and snapped Despair in two, throwing either piece to the ground and creating cracks in the asteroid. He reached into it, grabbed the rock, and pulled it in half, executing a full spin and crushing JJ with the asteroid, and using his Overgrowth aug to close the gap by stretching his arm. [/i]

[spoiler]Dat rage doh. [/spoiler]

[spoiler]I didn't teleport. JJ can either throw the sword and teleport to it, allowing it to be predicted, or he can call it back to him and have it fly back. Think of it like Mjolnir out of the Marvel comics whenever JJ calls it back.[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]It's pretty close to teleportation, like that or Dishonored's Blink ability. So JT and myself say teleportation because it's easiest, and JT thinks it is. [/spoiler]

Edited by jj1042: 11/30/2016 9:10:13 PM[spoiler]But JJ's no where close enough for JT to plant a grenade on him. There is no teleportation at all, and nothing is disappearing and reappearing in a different location. JJ is sitting in one spot, waiting for his sword to reach him. What JJ is doing right now is not teleportation,[/spoiler]

[spoiler]Oh -blam!- I read that wrong XD. One sec. [/spoiler]
