"The challenger Makes the first move."
-
"Alrighty then." Anne drew song blade off of her back, the crystal blade gleaming in the eve. The pommel of the blade echoed with the cold yellow sky as she twirled the long sword, getting into her stance. "Ready when you are."
-
"Woah, that's a nice blade you got there." [b]Royal's own sword forms in his hand, and since I'm a lazy fúck here's a link [/b] https://m.imgur.com/KKTKSQg [b]He gets into a defensive stance [/b]
-
"Touché!" Anne quickly moved forward, using the cold floor to slide her feet towards Royal, who she then slashed towards his hip with the long sword using to hand to hold the blade. "Hyaaa!"
-
[b]He swings his own blade, blocking the attack and causing the swords to clash [/b] "Did you mean En Garde?"
-
Anne pushed her blade towards Roy, with a lot more strength then she look like she could use just by staring at her. She gestured to Royals blade. "No..I mean...your sword... is nice as well!"
-
"Oh! Thank you!" [b]Royal stepped backwards and took a step to the side, moving diagonally to the left, avoiding the sword. [/b] "Custom made, very difficult from what I've heard".
-
Anne brought her blade up quickly and tried not to stumble from the sudden move. She turned her feet to face Royal. "Phew! No kidding? 'T.H' here was made by Zane and Falk." She readied her blade, and straightened her composure.
-
"T.H.? Is that what you call it? My sword chose it's own name. -blam!-ing Jaeger." [b]Royal stepped forward stabbing once, twice, Three times. Using his blade as a rapier [/b]
-
Anne hit the blade assaulting her consecutively each time using the flat of her blade, misdirecting it each time. She quickly hopped back, pointing her blade towards Royal. "A blade that names itself? Odd. But not the 'oddest.'"
-
"How should I know? I think it was- oh who was it." [b]He steps back, putting up a finger [/b] "One moment please. Was it Tesuto? I believe it was either Tesuto or Zane who told me to speak to the soul of my weapon. Oh I don't remember." [b]He took a step forward, spinning around in a three sixty cicle and using the momentum to slash at Anne with more power then before [/b]
-
Anne quickly brought her blade up to block, and she did, but the impact sent her back and onto the ground with a [i]thud![/i] she quickly reached to her side, and threw a black ball at Royal quickly. The balk seemed to meld into the fabric of Royals chest....
-
"The hell is this, Anne?" [b]He stepped back, eyeing Anne [/b]
-
"Uhhhhhh.... Boom?" Suddenly, the black ball beeped with a red LED. And soon turned red hot, following a fiery explosion which Sends Royal flying back, his chest in flames, towards the cherry blossom tree.
-
[b]Royal crashes into the tree his his entire body vibrating violently. When he stops Anne can clearly see that surprisingly enough, his armor had survived the blast. But his jaw and saw of his face was completely covered in burns. The flames that were around him, only seemed to grow brighter, but felt much darker. Slowly, he rose to his feet, smiling wickedly. [/b] "Thanks for the power up." [b]He charged forward, flames dancing across his entire body as he jumped into the air, slamming down on Anne [/b]
-
[spoiler]When was this a thing?[/spoiler] "Ah!" Anne quickly rolled out of the way. But the flames from the thermal grenade quickly extinguished on Royals body, as if they were never there. [spoiler]Read the bio I linked.[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]How effective are the grenades though? What armor is it unable to go through? [/spoiler] [spoiler]Also for the flames, since Royal has flame powers he harnessed the flames that exploded with the grenade [/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]alright. And the grenade is well...a grenade. What do you think it would do to your armour if it's stuck to it and explodes?[/spoiler] "Oh boy...." Anne quickly got to her feet, and she drew her Magnus. She aimed the pistol towards Royal. Her hand steady and her longsword ready as she took aim.
-
[spoiler]Well I dunno, haven't updated Roy's bio in a while and it's gotten an upgrade from the last time. [/spoiler] [b]Royal merely continued advancing, his sword in his right hand as a shadowy captain America sized shield formed in his left. He put his hand up, ready to block the shots as he approached [/b]
-
With Royals shield up, there was no point in firing towards his chest. But...she could use it as a diversion still. She fired towards Royals feet quickly, and as she did she sprinted towards him and jumped, firing off a total of four bullets and complemented them by swinging down against him with the blade.
-
[b]Royal entered a tap dance, avoiding most of them accept for one, which shot off his pinky toe [/b] "Aagh!" [b]He raises his shield which stays strong against the sword pressing into it. With Anne so near, Royal attempts to kick her and sweep her off her feet [/b]
-
"Agh?!" Anne lost her balance from the sweeping kick, and she fell towards the ground again. But now that she was there, she was under the shield. She fired another two rounds into Royals chest, hoping he would back off.
-
[b]Royal did indeed step back, the bullets lodging themselves dangerously close to his chest as his armor had been weakened with the grenade. The shield DeSpawns and he steps forward recomposing himself. As he stepped forward, he attempts to stab at Anne while she is down [/b]
-
Anne quickly rolled towards Royal so that his blade would impale the ground beside her. Suddenly her Magnus transformed into a sleek rapier in a poof of twilight particles, which she then thrusted into an open part of Royals leg.
-
[b]He fell to one knee, his sword in the ground and both hands on it. He pushed her a few feet away using shadow powers the shakily stands up [/b] "You've passed the test Anne. Congratulations."
