[spoiler]the longest battle ever continues[/spoiler]
Anne reeled back from the push of force, and grinned at shadow.
"Hope you aren't going easy on me Shadow."
Anne held her blade with two hands, the edge gleaming in the night as it pointed towards its rival.
English
-
"Want me to start fighting? Alright." Shadow vanishes amidst a wave of tendrils. Thousands of shadow-formed appendages sweep out at Anne.
-
"Oh Anne...why do you do this to yourself." Anne spoke to herself as she took a knee, and as the tendrils lunged she proceeded to swing her blade in long arcs, cutting them apart as they drew near as fast as she could. Though many ended up cutting her arms and shoulders.
-
"Mortals keep asking me why I hold back, as if I'm demeaning them. As if I couldn't be bothered to put my all into it. My reason is simple." Shadow leaps through the tendrils, her eyes pitch-black, sword trailing green mist. Half of the tendrils vanish, leaving behind a few hundred. The remaining tendrils attack Anne's left and right sides as Shadow stalks forwards. "Ever faced a sidhe king or queen on the battlefield? No one has, because if there was, there were no survivors."
-
Anne quickly brought her blade around her in a 360 degree swing, slashing the oncoming tendrils. Soon after she flipped back, gaining more distance between her and the onslaught. "Yes yes I get it...you're tough...."
-
"Because we were made to be." Shadow grins as she flickers forwards, appearing into a leap, bringing her sword down at Anne.
-
Anne brought her blade up, but that was a diversion. She extended her left arm, and suddenly a straight double edged blade, which Molded another curved blade on its side attached to a chain shot from her arm. The shogi hook wrapped around shadows left ankle, and Anne pulled, sending her foe collapsing in the air.
-
"Good!!" The tendrils pick up Shadow as the chain slips off of her now solid armor. "I was wondering..... perhaps now is the time." She reaches into a rift and pulls out what looks like an over-sized machete combined with a shotgun.
-
"Oh come on..." Anne drew her own pistol off her hip, and took aim at shadow with the black .44 magnum.
-
"Try me." Shadow tilts her head, then shifts her grip on the new blade.

Edited by Inflatablepants: 12/23/2016 8:16:43 PM[spoiler]An open field gun fight would be death for both parties....[/spoiler] Anne's grip tightened on the pistol, and she quickly popped the magazine out of the weapon and loaded a new one from her pouch. "Not sure I want to. You sure we wanna use guns on an open field like this?"
-
"If you insist." Shadow flips her sword-gun into the air and it vanishes.
-
Anne readied her blade then, holstering her Magnus as she held her blade with one hand and pointed it at shadow. [spoiler]S-s-sword duuuuuuueeeeel[/spoiler]
-
Shadow takes advantage of her speed and vanishes. A single rustle of grass in the quiet night from behind is Anne's only warning.
-
Anne quickly turned to where the grass blew, raising her blade to retaliate a strike. [spoiler]and it continues...[/spoiler]
