"Aha, very nice, Worru." Kasei commented. He probably knew what Worru was planning, though he kept the plan to himself. Footprints appeared, two sets, heading towards the center of the arena, and as they met, Both Aria and her clone came into view. "Alright, come out and fight me! Unles your a coward whose afraid of girls!" Aria yelled out, showing her small but deadly scimitar. As she finished, her clone became undone, vanishing in a puff of smoke. "C;mon, scaredy cat!" Aria yelled once more. "What is she thinking? she can't beat Worru in a one-on-one fight, thats suicide!"

OOC: Worru, as imaginative as that was, I have nevere seen worru use a clone before, so don't try that again, unless you want to face the wrath of....BAD 80's music!

OOC: No clone, my friend. Let's just say that he learned that from a cat.

IC: Ryk laughed, as one red eye shown out of an opening in one tree. "I am not the one who should be afraid, Aria." he taunted. This meant buisness, since he never used someone's full name unless they either earned his respect, or a meeting with his claws. In the tree opposite the one with the red eye, another red eye peeked out. "and I'm only afraid of Fox-Girlie..." that eye mumbled.

OOC: orph, I have read your edited post, that is a vey un-traditional and un-sneaky way to start a battle...

IC: Aria grinned, and clapped her hands together and focused on her energy. Kasei seemed to know what she was doing, becouse he had a scared lok in his eye. "Orph, simon, I suggest we get into the treetops, now!" he said with panick in his voice, the next instant, he had used his streangth and speed to jump into the tree closest to him, and as he did so, Aria released the energy she was holding in, and it blew out in every direction, as a slicing, dicing, lethal wind, it was Aria's unique attack: Death to the rebels, air destruction! Basically, it was the opposite of her death to the rebels, air sufocation , where, instead of pulling air in to crush an opponent, and potentially suffocate them, Aria blew a gale of slicing wind in all directions, similar in concept to kasei's kamikaze barrage. Dispite the fact that Kasei was in the treet, he still felt some of the techniques effects, most of his arms, witch were being used to cover his face, were covvered in small but painfull cuts. There was no way Worru would survive this, and if he did, he would be badly injured.

OOC: That. Is. Definite. unless you got a miracle that fits in to this battle, worru will be covered in painfull scars.

Both of the eyes laughed. You could see that they had red liquid spilling in copius amounts from them, but they still laughed. "That was a nice one, Aria! Worru shouldn't be helping you, you should be helping him!" they both said, as they dematerialized, and Ryk appeared fully, his eyes still bleeding. "A blind man can see better than I can now!" he said, sounding downright happy.

OOC: You didn't answer my question.

IC: Orpheous obeyed and immediately headed for the tree tops. He opened his hand like he was going to catch something, and the ax returned to his hand. He prepared it again, and aimed for Kasei's arm.

P.S. Un-traditional methods are my middle name.

OOC: can ya wait till this is over?

IC: "Huh, that was a pretty good attack, but it comes with a price, Aria looks like she's used up everything she's got!" Kasei said, and true to his words, Aria looked exhausted. The only reason KAsei hasen't stopped the fight is because he knows Aria, she would kick his butt when she recovered. "It looks like this is over...She's finished." Kasei said hopelessly...

"No freaking way! I still want to fight! So what if I can't see? I could smell Aria a mile away!" yelled Ryk, actually looking in some other direction than that of Kasei. He was currently blind, after all. Having your eyes slashed several hundred times does that to ya. "I can't kill her, anyway. You have that damn rule, and Worru likes her too much." he added, thinking, I have enough fantasies from the boy about her to tell me so.

Kasei jumps down from the tree, and casts a healing spell on Worru that will regenerate his eyes. The mercinary then walks over to Aria, picks her up, and walks to a safe spot near a tree to lay her down. "heh, I guess worru is the winner, mainly because Aria was already weak when the fight began. Anywhay, he wins!" Kasei pronounces, then turns to Orpheous, and asks; "Ready to fight?"

"Yes, and it is about time," he answered. Without any hint of movement. His figure was there, and then it wasn't. Then rustling was heard in a tree to the top left tree section behind Kasei's few. Orpheous popped out and lunged at Kasei with his sword.

Kasei turned his head at the sound of Orph's attack, an emotionless expression on his face. He turns his whole body around, and holds out his right hand, grabbing the sword and recieving a nasty cut in the proccess. Still with no emotions, Kasei pulls the sword to the ground, then lets go and jumps a mighty jump, landinng on the other side of the field next to the scimitar. The mercinary picks it up, and goes into a fighting stance, the cut on his right hand already stopped bleedin. "Now I am ready, let us fight." Kasei said, apparently pleased wih the enthusiasm of his opponent, ven though only his voice shows it.

"Alright," said a resounding voice echoing through the forest, "let us fight." The Orpheous that attack Kasei disappeared. Inkclone, not a powerful as a normal inkcreature, but requires less magic. Another figure darted from the tree tops, this time, it was on Kasei's far right. He used the same tactic to try to hit Kasei as he did earlier.

Kasei seemed amused by this, he held his sscimitar in his right hand, and used it to knock the sword to the side. With his free left hand, Kasei grabbed Orph's face, and started spinning, aventually letting go of his opponents head, sending Orph flying into a tree. The mercinry followed this attack up by appearing in front of orpheous, and puncing him in the chest, breaking a rib.

OOC: in case you didn't know, I'm Gming this fight, and you can eal all of those injuries in a heartbeat, so don't get mad, get revenge!

That Orpheous also quickly evaporated, while another descended from the trees. This time on top of Kasei.

OOC: I think your starting to get the hang of this. If I tell you something in OOC, will you promise that you won't use it in your IC?

shadow of the abyss form matter and rage!! JORMUNGAND
A ball of pure darkneess charges trough the thickets destroying everything on his path, it hit a nearby tree which hitted the ground before the Kasei leaving the grass ashed.

Kasei?, Azador appeared out of the shadows of the forest.
"It seems you got stronger then the last time I saw you.
You can make a impressive show,

Azador applauded, and came closer...

"Would you please leave Orpheous alone?"
he said selfassure

OOC: actually, no...don't tell me!

IC: Kasei smirkid, then swung his scimitar upward, cutting Orph in the stomach. The mercinary then got out of his way by jumping to the side, an effective tactic. The rebel flame then put his scimitar down, and got into a fighting stance, ready to do physical combat. "Come at me with all you've gopt, otherwise, you cannot hope to be victorious!" Kasei said, a strange aura appearing around him.

Then Kasei noticed Azador's energy ball, and once again jumped, preparing to fight an unknown foe, then it just turned out to be Azador. "Heh, its just you, join us, wil ya?" Kasei asked, then got back nto a fighting stance, facing orph.
