Dylan dodges her scythe just in time, the wind in front of his faces blows away and, for a split second, he can't breathe. "You feel that?! My scythe is nicknamed the suffocator for a reason. I can swing it so hard that the air in that area isn't quick enough to be replaced, leaving you breathless!" She gloats.
"I'd be an idiot to not see the air vacuums on the side of your scythe." Dylan shoots another soundwave into her face. "That effect is not your strength, it is that of your machine. It would also be practically impossible unless you moved at a speed above mach five, which would rip your arms off."
"Just shut up!" Sickle yells.
'Why do I just love putting this girl down? Could there be something behind this? She is a beautiful woman, so why do I love hurting her?' Dylan thinks. "You're way too confident in yourself." he says aloud. 'Is that it? Could I be envying her confidence? That might be it...'
"My confidence is what gets me my wins!" She says quite loudly.
"Wow, you must lose very often then." He looks at her, unimpressed.
"JUST SHUT UP!" She throws her scythe at him and it hits the side of Poison Hades.
"Not gonna lie, that was a nice shot." Dylan grabs the scythe and tosses it backwards, making it pierce into the wall. She stumbles at the compliment, and eventually pulls out a hammer.
"T-Thank you…" She hesitates.
"You're welcome." Dylan looks at her, analyzing her. She's off guard now, perfect time to… Her hammer flies straight up as he rushes toward her. It makes contact with big jim and the twins, sending him skywards, along with the pitch of his voice.
"You're not the only one good at deceit!" She yells, flying up to him, raising her hammer again.
"You are good at deceit, but how good are you concealment?" Dylan squeaks, turning invisible.
"Wha… where'd you go?! That's a cheap trick! Show yourself, stinking coward!" Sickle yells.
"There's a difference between cowardice and strategy…" Dylan smirks. He starts to barrage her with attacks that are unseen, but then his 5 minutes were up and he reappeared.
Ralem walks up through the crowd, hand in hand with Jace, and then sits down in his reserved chair, along with the other combatants. He pulls up his heads-up-display and starts to scan his soon to be rival. The speed of the IS is very high, and it's stealth capabilities are high, but it's defenses are fairly low. It also has the ability to steal the shield energy of it's foe by using something along the lines of echolocation. The soundwaves have an uncanny little component. They attach shield energy to themselves, meaning that, not only can it take away shield energy, but the shield energy floating through the air is still capable of taking hits from weapons. However, due to it's focus on high tech offensiveness, it's defense is fairly low. Offensive wise, it outdoes almost every IS, but can be rivaled by Akatsubaki. "He'll make for a fun opponent. Jace? I think I have a very interesting fight on my hands."
"I can see that. You're most likely gonna win though." Jace looked at him with a smile.
"I appreciate your faith in me, Jace, but he did win the last time." Ralem returns her smile
"Yes, but he had his brothers help that time." Jace reminds him.
"His brother was also pretty strong, but I didn't take all that much damage but he took me out in one shot. You shouldn't underestimate him." He looks her in the eyes and then looks back at the battle.
Sickle looks at Dylan just as he reappears, and then tries to slam down on him with her hammer. Dylan kicks her hammer to the side, making her lose her trajectory, and he then stabs the side of her IS with Ghoul, and hits the side of her head with the hilt of Succubus. "Your weapons are too heavy, and their trajectory is too easily deflected. I suggest you get weapons that are easier to handle, like daggers or swords. Possibly some guns, for better long range capabilities."
"AND YOU NEED TO SHUT UP!" Sickle yells.
"Geez, I'm just trying to help you get through the day, and help your performance. I suggest a shotgun instead of your hammer, a shotgun seems to fit you more." He throws up his hands in mock surrender, and sends out a huge sonic blast at her, sending her to the other side of the field, but she stops herself from hitting the wall, that her scythe was embedded in, in the last second.
"My weapons do perfectly fine by themselves." Sickle holds her hand to her chest, trying to calm down.
"I bet, I mean, you obviously were aiming for the ground, and you hit your mark perfectly." Dylan grins.
"Why do you keep insulting me?" She looks down at the ground and says, calmly. "You got a thing for me or something."
"No. Truth be told though, I envy your will, courage, and persistence." Dylan shrugs.
"And so you insult me?" Sickle looks up at him, surprised.
"Part of me… part of me wants to see you break. The other part has complete respect for you. You're only in your first shift, I'm in my second, and you've survived up until now. Now I'm gonna finish this, sound good?" Dylan pulls his knife to his sides.
"I love that idea, except I'll be the one taking you out." She pulls her scythe out of the wall.
"You will have to be able to hit me then!" Dylan bursts to the left.
"I guarantee you that I will be able to." She mirrors Dylans movements.
"Don't get too full of yourself!" Dylan fires off multiple sonic blasts and they all just barely miss. Dylan rushes in with his two knives, but Sickle dodges, stabs Poison Hades in the back with her scythe, uses the momentum in order to throw Dylan onto the ground, and then starts to bring down her hammer. Dylan blasts the hammer away with a sonic blast, jumps up, leans forward, and then does a rocket assisted backflip over Sickle, stabs her in the back with his knives and pulls them out as he fires one final sonic blast, sending her shield energy down to zero.
-about an hour ago, in the other arena with Jace and Ralem-
They both knew how to make it a show. They charged toward each other, Jace with her battleaxe and shield, and Ralem with his pitch black longsword, with a white outline. Ralem slashed, but Jace held up her shield and then sliced upwards with a black battleaxe with small holes and a white outline. Ralem lifts up a small knife gun to intercept the battleaxe and then pulls the trigger. Jace flies back due to the impact, but as she flies back she pulls out her crossbow, firing rapidly. Ralem slices the bolts off of their original trajectory, forcing them to move around in multiple directions, most embedding themselves into the ground. Ralem then charges once again, hitting the tip of the side of her shield, throwing her off balance, and then, using the momentum of his charge, spins around and slashes at her with his combat knife. Jace puts her battleaxe on her back, intercepting the knife slash, and then she uses the spinning momentum to hit Ralem with the flat side of her axe.
"What's the matter, Ralem? Losing your touch?" Jace grins.
"Oh no, just reminiscing the good old days, back when I could face you equally!" Ralem smiles and rapidly fires both of his laser crossbows, barraging Jace with laser bolts straight to her chest. Jace is blasted back, but then holds out her shield. The shield lifts up and reveals a huge gun barrel, similar to Ralems Omega laser.
"You think you're the only one with a big badass laser?! I just got this attachment yesterday, I introduce you to the Alpha Rocket launcher!" The barrel spreads open and 10 missiles blast out of it, all homing in on Ralem. Jace slowly glides to the ground and then vents open up, letting out the exhaust and smoke from the blast, however, Ralem has no chance to take this chance to attack though, he has some missiles to worry about. Ralem flies backwards, flying away from the missiles and smiles.
"You never cease to amaze me. We have a lot of talking to do after this, don't we?" He slices through a missile and it explodes a few seconds after, giving Ralem enough time to fly away. Eight missiles come from behind him and Ralem turns to face them. He starts flying backwards to keep his eyes on the missiles, when he hears something behind him. He turns around… and the ninth missile hits him right in the chest.
"Yes, I believe we do, what do you say we go get some coffee after this?" Jace smiles.
"I'd love that." Ralem winks at her.
"Good, now watch your butt before I blow it up." Jace smiles
"Sorry, I've been too busy looking at yours." Ralem laughs.
"Heh, shut up." Jace rolls her eyes, grinning.
"I don't know, it's very tempting." Ralem winks, and then charges toward Jace, sword out and ready for battle.
"Oh, I know that for sure." She holds up her shield, blocking the strike and then whispers into his ear "We have evidence of that."
"That we do. Maybe some time we could have a bit more thorough evidence, hm?" Ralem grins, and then kicks her shield, making her fly back. Jace, while in the middle of her backflip, shoots the side of Obsidian Archer with her crossbow. Ralem just barely dodges it, and fires back. Jace takes some tips from the Matrix and dodges almost every bolt Ralem shoots, only three hitter her chest, while firing her own. Ralem then rushes towards her with his sword in one hand, and his knife in the other. He shoots from his pistol knife and then slashes down with his sword. Jace holds up her shield but Ralem shoots the bottom of it, knocking her off balance, and then kicks her down onto the ground. He throws his sword through the leg of Jace's IS, pinning her down, flies back, and fires off his omega laser, finishing her off.
Jordan watches from the sidelines. "Dylan… are you seeing this?" He asks.
"Yeah… we're gonna have to train even more to beat him. He's definitely upped his game." Dylan nods.
"Did you analyze their IS's?" Jordan asks.
"Of course." Dylan answers.
"good, we can have mom and dad check it out to see if they can make a strategy to beat him, possibly give us a few upgrades." Jordan smiles.
