Blood of Grimm: Bonus Fights 1
Emerald and Mercury are returning to the dorms. "Hey, Mercury, you get the fights?"
"You bet. Every second, blow, and defeat," the silver haired teen replies, smirking and brandishing a Scroll. They return to the dorms where Cinder Fall is waiting.
"So did you find something we can manipulate him with? Someone is very interested in him and the power he holds. They can work anything."
"Yeah, he has a dead girlfriend and no living family. We also got some recordings of some fights," Mercury replies, starting up the video:
Yang steps up to the training ring, as Valke stows the rapier on the rack. "So, you ready to get beaten?" taunts Yang.
"Big words from a reckless brawler. I'll barely break a sweat."
"Don't be so sure, tough guy. I won't go easy on you just because you have a sob story. Most of us do." With that, she blasts her gauntlets, speeding towards him.
"Why is it that everyone wants to rush me?" He ducks, swaying to the left, raising his right hand, blocking her hook, not even getting pushed back.
"What the-" Yang is silenced as Valke counters with an underhand jab. He follows up with a series of three jabs, right, left, right. She dodges the first two, but is too slow to avoid the third. She recoils, and looks up to find Valke gone. He appears behind her and jump-spin kicks her. She shoots a combo of fireballs at him, and he rolls to the left, immediately going back on his feet. She rushes him yet again, and unleashes a rapid series of jabs and hooks. He sways left and right, blocking and knocking strikes off course. He reaches out, and plucks a small hair from her head.
"What did you just-" Valke just waves the strand in front of her. "You… YOU JERK!"
Ruby shakes her head. "Oh boy. Someone's walking away with either broken bones, or broken pride."
Yang explodes, her eyes turning red, and gets a fiery aura around her. Valke chuckles and adopts a martial arts stance; his hands up in a half closed grip with the palms facing outward, the left hand higher than the right one. She rushes him once again, and he swats her punch aside, elbowing that arm, throwing her off balance slightly. She passes by him like a bull and a bull fighter. She assaults him, and he once again blocks and swats away most of the attacks, although she does land a few hits. She takes a large left swing, and he ducks, simultaneously sidestepping to his right. Grabbing her arm with both hands, he kicks her knee from behind, and twists her arm behind her back, then crouches, putting her in a simple but painful hold, laying on the ground. Valke release her, and she walks off in slight shame.
Next is Ruby. Valke picks a simple, but heavy-bladed scythe, with a hook at the opposite end as the blade. He holds it blade back, his left hand barely not holding it. He and Ruby circle round the ring slowly, until Valke dashes forward, performing a backhand swing with the scythe. She blocks with her scythe and fires the built in sniper rifle, knocking his weapon away and adding momentum to her incoming spin attack. Valke plants the scythe in the ground and spins, kicking Ruby after her scythe passes by him. She stops by planting her weapon's blade in the ground, then starts shooting at him, managing to shoot two rounds before he is out of her aim, and she frees her weapon. Valke spins the scythe over his head, adding force to his downward swing, which Ruby flips away from. She then unleashes a series of slightly varying horizontal slashes, which Valke backs away from, until he stops by planting his scythe in her swing's range. He then uses the hook to ensnare her weapon, twisting out of her hand and in the air. He swings the scythe at her neck, stopping as he catches her weapon in carrying form. He hands it back to her and goes to switch weapons.
Blake steps up, so he chooses duel swords, odd curved blades with European style cross guards, the right hand one longer in both blade and hilt than the left hand one. He attacks immediately, and she flips out of the way. He chases her, spinning the swords around him, only ever using one sword at a time, and never having an attack follow the same direction or orientation of the last one. She eventually stops him by using her sheath to stop a downward swing, then counters with a series of horizontal swings, followed by a burst from her pistol. Valke backs away from the slashes, then side steps the first two shots, redirecting the final two to the side. He lashes out with his right sword, performing an uppercut. She flips away, leaving a clone of ice, which traps the sword. Valke uses the other blade to free it, but Blake manages to wrap her weapon's rope around him, limiting his arm movements. She fires another burst, and Valke falls to the ground, bringing her with him. He launches himself up, standing once again, now free from the rope due to it going slack after she had fallen. She kicks him as she gets up, stinging his arm. She whips her sword around, like a chained dagger, and he steps in to avoid the blade, letting the rope wrap around his left sword. He switches that sword to a reverse grip, freeing it, and closes in on her, placing the smaller sword at her neck before crossing his arms, placing the blades in a scissor pattern at her neck. He steps back, flourishing the blades as he does so.
Next up is Ren. Valke chooses a pair of curved, single edged daggers with small hooks at the end of the blades. He begins wielding both of them reverse gripped, his wrists crossing each other. Ren and Valke calmly circle around, waiting to see who would strike first. Valke makes a faint, then rolls to the side as Ren counters with a burst from each pistol. Valke rushes him from the side, and slashes in a lunge, flipping around when he misses, and blocks Ren's downward stabs. Valke then unleashes a series of spinning slashes and cuts, until switching the left hand dagger to a normal grip. He then lunges, closing his arms together vertically, like a jaw, pushing Ren's weapons apart, then knees Ren in the stomach. Ren staggers and attempts to shoot Valke, but Valke is already behind him. He kicks in Ren's knees, dropping him to said knees, and brings the daggers down like fangs, stopping an inch from Ren's skull. Valke steps back and Ren exits, visibly exhausted.
Nora steps up and Valke selects a mace, not his favorite weapon, but it keeps with the theme of similar weapon based duels. He holds it in a half-raised position, the mace head at about his stomach. Nora begins by jumping at him and swinging her huge hammer horizontally. Valke jumps over it, away from Nora. When he lands, Nora rushes him, swinging down. He dodges to the side and prepares to strike, but she recovers faster than a normal person and uppercuts. Valke narrowly avoids it by stepping back. This continues, Valke being on the defensive, until Nora launches into the air by firing a volley of grenades at the ground. Valke drifts around her powerful downward slam, then unleashes a flurry of quick bashes and jabs, striking her several times. She tanks the hits and launches a grenade at point black.
"Shoot!" Valke does a matrix style dodge, but it ends in him dropping to the ground. He compensates by spinning on the ground, sweeping her legs out from under her. They both get to their feet, and Valke dashes in, dodging a hurried downward smash, then assaults her, smashing her legs, then her torso and arms, then stops right before he smashes her head.
"Well that was the longest fight yet. I shouldn't have chosen the mace. Oh well." Nora walks off, losing color just a little bit, before springing back to hyper-activeness. The monkey, Sun, steps up, twirling a staff. Valke grabs a staff of his own: wood reinforced with steel strips along the side, rectangular with rounded edges. It's more of a converted halberd pole than a staff, but it functions the same. He takes a ready stance, a traditional one, the staff slanted slightly up, in a two handed grip.
Sun paces around, holding the staff behind him. Suddenly, he spins and strikes at Valke, using both ends of the staff, right, left, right, ending with a jab. Valke uses his staff to block the attacks by holding it vertically. The jab he deflects with his hand, pushing the weapon to the side. He then counters with a lunging thrust, followed by spinning the staff then upper-cutting his opponent. Sun evades both, then switches his staff into two pairs of nunchuck-guns. He unleashes an assault of lightning-fast strikes and gun shots. Valke uses his staff to deflect the blows, in turn throwing most of the shots off target. Sun changes tactics, and uses one pair of his unconventional weapons to knock aside and trap Valke's then strikes with the other. Valke releases his staff and dodges, countering with a kick, spinning parallel to the ground. He hits sun in the face, causing the monkey to recoil in pain. Valke follows up by grabbing his staff, then unleashing a series of left and right hooking strikes, ending with an uppercut, launching Sun onto the ground. Valke places the staff on his chest, stopping Sun from rising.
Valke hangs the staff back up as Emerald, the green-haired girl, walks up, holding a pair of revolver-kamas. Valke grabs a singular chained kama, wrapping the chain around his left forearm, holding the miniature scythe like the hatchet it was made as. She opens with a burst of shots, prompting Valke to roll away to dodge. She sends a chain to ensnare him, but he knocks it away with his chain-encased forearm. He rushes her, but she suddenly disappears. She appears again to kick him from behind, but disappears again. He closes his eyes and wait. The sound of air being cut and a metal chain cause him to turn and catch the chained blade flying to him. He releases it, and the blade retracts, but not completely, as he had tangled his chain with hers. Surging towards her, he stuns her with a left jab, and follow through by wrapping the chain around her two or three times. He throws his hatchet, lodging it on a rafter tie. He pulls on the end of the chain, and she spins, dislodging the blade. He catches this as she stops spinning, the blade at her neck.
The final opponent is Pyrrha Nikos, who he had watched fight in the Mistral Regional Tournament for three years. Knowing her skill, he grabs a familiar weapon: a spear.
