The Dueling Arena ~The RP~

[ProperGamer]

Marble met unbreakable wood. With a loud crash the two objects collided with one another, but when one object wont break and the other can, the outcome is inevitable. The marble shattered, from the combination of Sarika's speed and Duke's strength. Though, the resulting collision and momentum from Duke's downward fall wouldnt be stopped by Sarika's attack on his improvised weapon.

As his weapon shattered, the force from the downward attack would have shot anyone else straight back into the ground. But Duke knew better then that. This woman had high velocity on her side. She didnt just move fast, she moved like she had no restraints from physics or any partials to move through. That was faster then just fast, it was almost inconceivably fast. That with her weapon, ment she could very well keep going forward.

So as far as Duke was concerned, she was still moving upwards.

When he finally landed, he landed in a crouching position on one knee. He stood and took a deep breath, keeping his exhaustion level to a minimum. He ignored the peanut gallery. If someone thought that strategy was unnecessary, they he knew they werent worth his time to fight. Though they were right, it was boring, it was necessary for a win. Duke stood, waiting for the woman to make her next move.

Sarika indeed continued on upward, as her unbreakable wooden sword sliced the marble with ease, it shattering as it's wielder went to the ground.. And as she went through, or more like pass her opponent, her eye's landed on him, finally being able to see him once again. "Heh", she smirked, still going upward, and turning wihtin the air, to lay her eye's upon him. He know stood, looking at her, and as she made her descent, she dove towards him, sword position in a way where she would strike him head on. Sarika raised her sword, both hands upon the handle, at it raised above her head. "No more hide and seek", she smirked.

Duke looked up at her and stood there. When she started falling and readied her weapon, he changed his stance. Moving his legs apart, he bent his knees and opened his arms. His hands ready to strike as she came at him. He would wait just long enough until he could use his reach to grab her from the air. A falling object only falls as fast as its terminal velocity will allow. Though Duke didnt know about terminal velocity, he knew that things fell slower then they went up. So her speed, as far as he could tell, wouldnt be of much help here.

"Fine by me, never liked the game anyway."  

[Faulty Ambition]

"Not to say that these two aren't talented," the scrap heap continued to prattle, "I've seen better is all." The heap harrumphed and seemed to take a moment to adjust itself. "You want to see a real fight? You should have seen Desta and Lutia go at it! Hoo boy! None of this smokescreen, testing the waters crap. Those two would really let you have it!" The pile chuckled softly. "And I'm sure that I could arrange better, especially if I could get a handle on what exactly people like this are fighting for."

The Mysterious Laelia/Plushie Lady

Sarika gave a smirk, as he agreed. So as she continued to soar downward at him, she watched as he stance changed, him ready for her to get close. she guessed that once she was close enough, he would grab for her, and that was just what she wanted. Falling into an enemy like this wasn't so smart, but over the years she found ways to make this obstacle work for her. So as she inched closer and closer, his hands came to grab her, but acting quickly, she placed her sword in a horizontal position, making his hands grab the ends of her sword, instead of her. Smirking, she held to the middle, and swung like a gymnast. Extending her leg, she sent a kick to his neck and landed before him, upon the ground, with ease.

Fang was amused at the strategy and finesse of the moves. I could have done better. He thought as he clapped his hands a bit.

Xela, ready for it, took a step back as he repositioned his blade.

Now Duke's body wasnt like a normal persons. He was thick all over, not just his arms, legs and chest. He had a very thick neck and a very small one at that. Of course, this made him what he was, a Brazer. So when her foot went to hit his neck, she hit him indeed. But his thich skin and small neck only made it so instead she connected with his chin. Of course, this was only because he had followed her movements and looked downwards at her and not her legs. And, this didnt hurt any less then being hit in the neck, but it wouldnt wind him and his thick jawbone could take her hit with less damage instead of the neck.

Course, Duke could have sworn he had a loose tooth now. But, he couldnt dwell on that.

His head tilted back from the impact of her foot, but his grip on her weapon remained. He looked back down at her and spat out some blood, frowning alittle. He lifted his arms, and still holding to her weapon with his vice like grip, he brought his arms inwards onto her. Course, she was fast enough to dodge this, but he had her little toy now. And he wasnt going to let go of it until he was out like a light.

It seemed that his skin was tougher than she anticipated. Normally after such a kick, the opponent would fall to the ground, over even to a knee, releasing her weapon. But it didn’t happen. He instead spat out some blood. Her kick actually connected with hi chin. “Hmm” This would actually take some time. And with her sword within his grasp, she would have to think of something else. So as his next attack came down towards her, Sarika quickly, with ease dodged it, standing at his side, gazing at him. “Now what can I do, to take such a large man down?” He was indeed slow, so perhaps tiring him out. That was the only thing she could think of, since she was weaponless now. So with that idea in mind, she placed a hand upon her leg and raised it to her thigh. Resting high on her thigh was a guarder belt, which held a few knives and such. S taking one, she dashed around him, with quite a display of speed and began to cut him here and there, while avoiding his attempts to defend him self.

Fang couldn't take it any more. He stood from his seat, turned into sand and slithered out of the arena. Turning back into his original form, Fang looked around and saw a commotion going on at the graveyard-like place "Somebody wants a fight, and I'm going to deliver." He said to himself. He started running towards the area at speeds that no normal man could run.

Jesse took out her sword, changing her mind.  

[ProperGamer]

Duke couldnt keep up with her speed. He knew that much, so his only option was to let his thick and tough skin take the cuts. How deep the cuts were didnt really matter, they still hurt either way. Though the blunt force of the cuts wasnt nearly as hurtful as her other weapon which he had in his hands, cuts still hurt none the less. He curled h is arms and bent down, into a semi ball for now as he thought about the situation.

Duke closed his eyes, hoping that she slowed down alittle. He couldnt lose like this, she could do enough damage to him with a little knife, well, not enough at once. Over time she would but could she keep it up? Duke certainly hoped not. He had to find a way to slow her down. Something to make her stop long enough or stand still.

Duke had to do something, so he raised his powerful arms into the air, readying an attack. Sarika's weapon that he now held pointed downwards as he readied his body for his next move. He just hoped that this might slow her down.
