And so it did, pounding away at JJ's armor and doing damage to the outer two layers of upper torso armor after all was said and done. However, JJ's armor is so bulky that the springs merely interrupt his spin, and cause him to stumble forward. He quickly regains composure, and uses the thrusters to run to safety behind the asteroid he was standing on.
Eventually, a missile with a grey warhead appeared from the other side of the asteroid, and began moving toward JT in an erratic and hard to predict pattern. It obviously had a lock, and was attempting to out maneuver anything JT would do to stop it.

[i]JT had a trump card for missiles that would ultimately result in his armours destruction, but that's what made him more lethal - The armour was a coffin, and the Cowboy was a reaper waiting to break out. The armour opened at the back and JT was ejected out with all his regular weapons as the black layer from before soon flew back to him, creating almost a cape and allowing him to fly in the skies. "Finally free." With a cocky grin, JT drew a large assault rifle from his back, a white one with a set of three barrels protruding from the sleek frame in a triangular pattern. And soon JT was firing a set of plasma rounds to JJ from one of the barrels as he flew around the asteroid. He was much more lethal like this anyways. [/i]
-
While JT had been ejecting from his suit, getting his weapon, and beginning to fly to the other asteroid, JJ had been overcharging his cannon. His cannon was actually shaking and trembling with the sheer amount of energy built up in there; along with the bright light that basically acted as a beacon. His suit's energy reserves had gone from 90% to 25%, and most of the maximum possible energy being inside of the cannon slowly damaged it. "How about you and I fight on more equal levels?" Once JT had appeared, JJ quickly stepped into the open, and aimed at JT. He didn't care how many rounds his suit took, just that the shot hit its mark. His targeting systems said that the shot was good, and he fired. A bolt of lightning spewed from the cannon, and the sheer energy caused by it leaving the barrel of the cannon actually threw JJ backwards, causing him to fall. Usually, the bolt would be weaker and slightly slower than naturally occurring lightning; but because the bolt had so much energy packed into it, it moved as fast as a natural bolt of lightning, and had the strength to come up a little shy from natural levels. The only way to completely dodge something like this would to move at speeds that one could only move at if they could teleport at will. [spoiler]Pants, if you think this attack's OP, tell me, and I'll edit it. Just keep in mind the energy drain and cannon damage cripples a lot of the suit's capabilities.[/spoiler]

[i]The lightning struck the Techno-Cowboy and forced him to stagger, but thankfully he had the sense to disengage the NanoSwarm cloak that surrounded him and fade it into the background, catching him like a net and sending him towards an asteroid. The shot though, it only served to activate JT's OverCharge augmentation early as the receptors in his rubber mesh skin absorbed much of the electric current, and the Marshal was sent flying through the net and into an asteroid. But, he stood tall on the face of it and gripped the rock, pulling it apart at two points and completely halving the set of space rocks that were the result. A strange, silvery coat adorned the rocky asteroids like a fresh coat of paint, and the hands of the cowboy soon joined them. Eventually he lifted the rocks in the air as a layer of metal conjoined hand and rock as they were completely coated in the strange substance, and JT slammed the left rock onto JJ, creating a crater where he would stand, regardless of whether JJ moved or not. "Flash before my eyes, Now it's time to die!" But hey, JJ knocked out the augs that required electricity or any tech, like TagSight.exe. [/i]
-
"Shit!" JJ braces for impact as the asteroid hits, and it seems to crush him. When the asteroid is pulled away, however, JJ can be seen kneeling on the floor, his armor falling away. The error and warning notices could be heard even outside of the suit. "[i]WARNING, CATASTROPHIC POWER FAILURE. DISENGAGE BATTLE ARMOR BEFORE USER IS TRAPPED. WARNING.[/i]" And with that, the suit has begun to fall apart, showing the surprisingly small body of JJ outside of his armor. He was trembling inside of the crater, but not out of fear. No, the red aura could easily be seen forming around him. As Rage and Despair finished forming, JJ immediately cried out. "You... you tried to crush me with a giant rock. Who the hell tries to kill someone by TEARING APART AN ASTEROID? [b]COME HERE, SO I CAN TEAR YOU APART.[/b]" With that, and before the asteroid could attempt to crush him a second time, JJ threw his sword out from the crater, Despair formed around it. He then warped to it, reappearing with the sword in his right hand. Now that he was out of the crater, it was apparent that Rage was burning brighter than in any of his previous battles. The fact that his attack had mostly failed, along with losing his suit, made JJ quite upset. He threw his sword again, this time landing atop one of JT's rock hands. He threw the sword one last time, now directly at JT. He was within range, so he teleported in front of JT, and began to use JT as a stress-reliever. He immediately began attempting to stab JT's head, grabbing onto JT's right shoulder.
-
[i]The stab... Connected. JJ's blade traveled through the cranium of the Marshal, with a deafening crunch of titanium from the skull that he once inhabited as the sword pierced JT's brain as well, killing him off. But the fight was not over. For when JT fell to the floor, a deep cackling was heard bursting forth from all directions around JJ. Laughing at him, like it was nothing he had just done. Then and only then did the fallen corpse of JT arise, the hole plugged by a strange black substance, before the expressionless and deformed face looked back at JJ. Soon, the blade of JT soared back to him from the armour as the tungsten, six foot long, plasma edged greatsword by the name of Hullpiercer sped towards JJ and JT, impaling either in complete silence and binding the two fighters stomachs together. "Did you miss me?" John Truman asked, the Techno-Cowboy was still living but... How? [/i] [spoiler]Yes I have explanation. And it's quite well known what's happening, if you know JT. [/spoiler]
-
"Oh, fu[i]c[/i]k no. I am NOT dealing with another supernatural entity!" JJ then throws his sword backwards, teleporting away and off of the blade. When he lands on another asteroid, JJ holds his hand over the hole in his stomach. "All my life, I've had supernatural entities toying with me... and I am NOT gonna have one giving me hell in a tournament!" Rage and Despair both grow visibly in power, as Rage begins to slowly repair the hole, and immediately stops the bleeding. JJ then waits for JT to make a move, as he jumps from asteroid to asteroid.
-
[spoiler]I know you mentioned the hole. But god damn man, you just got impaled! A more drastic reaction should be used rather then "I have a boo-boo."[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler] Rage sort of puts JJ into a mild berserker state, to negate some pain. Admittedly, I should've reacted more drastically, as I have to other impalings.[/spoiler]
-
[i]It was funny, JT had metalmancy but no other types of magic, so the chance of magic being used to keep him alive was minimal at best. The Marshal raised his asteroid hands and slammed it into the side of JJ. [/i]
-
JJ threw his sword at JT's hand, implanting it blade first. He then teleports, and rides the hand until the swing is done. He then teleports back to JT, and slashes at the hilt of the plasma greatsword, attempting to make it impossible to be wielded.
-
[i]The hand hit was a useful tactic but the hilt of the blade proved fruitless, as JT quite literally moved to behead JJ with one swoop of his sword. Only it wouldn't behead fully, rather break every bone from his skulk to shoulders, in true Hullpiercer fashion. [/i]
-
As soon as JJ had finished his attack, unsuccessful or otherwise, he shoved JT away. This propelled the two men just far enough way for JJ to actually see the incoming attack, and catch it with Despair. The two blades clashed, energy against energy. However, any brilliant light that would be created in any other battle was simply drowned out by Despair's aura. JJ then delivered a surge of strength, pushing Hullbreaker away, and pushing the two men even farther apart. When JJ had floated out of range, he threw Despair into a nearby asteroid as it landed blade-first. However, JJ did not teleport. Instead, he retrieved the bow he carried and usually attacked with before R&D appeared. He pulled out what remaining arrows he had after Hullpiercer hit his quiver after being stabbed. He pulled out a normal arrow, and a black aura similar to Despair's formed around it. JJ notched the arrow, and fired for JT's chest. He then quickly notched another, and then shot for JT's neck.
-
[spoiler]warning for making JT's attack obsolete. Though, if you were hit by it it would have been a kill Move. But you should have interacted with it(ROLL under it, dodge, block etc) instead of saying "before he did that, I did THIS!!! YAY!"[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]this is why I hate you[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]Love you too Tubbs...[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]I did that figuring that we were floating out in the middle of space. Can't really dodge things all that well in zero gravity if you have nothing to propel yourself. But, duly noted.[/spoiler]
-
[i]The most terrifying part about JT in this form wasn't the sheer firepower he packed from his augments, instead it was his pure agility and raw strength combining to create a lethal mix of pure destruction. A blackened substance formed from behind him and encompasses his entire body as he saw JJ pull the bow, and when each arrow was fired, JT swerved to the right and away from either shot. Soon behind JJ, a loud boom. Five actually, forming a pentagon around JJ as each of the asteroids cracked on the insides and a purple miasma was expelled from the craters. Soon JJ would find it hard to see, breath, and his skin would be hit with an itch so bad that it would drive most men mad, affecting any exposed skin... Including where Hullpiercer stabbed him. Upon further inspection, the black swarms were seen fleeting from those spots and into the abyss beyond. [/i]
-
While JJ did have a hard time seeing, and some trouble breathing, he wasn't affected by the itch because Rage had covered any exposed skin, including the wound that Rage has been slowly patching up. To get out of the miasma, JJ teleported to his sword that was previously implanted in an intact asteroid. Once there, he took a short moment to gather himself. There was a bright light around his eyes, nose, and mouth as Rage began to fix the blindness and breathing issues. "Ouch..." When it was done, JJ stood up once again, breathing heavily for a few seconds before he began to settle. He then began to jump from asteroid to asteroid, without teleporting, avoiding the miasma and getting closer to JT.
-
[i]JT pulled out his melee weapons of choice. It was a pair of jagged swords, one coated with a poisonous aura while the other was swathed in flame. These were the swords that once belonged to the Dancer, before he saved her from a hellish fate. JT though, he just waited on JJ. [/i]
-
[spoiler]OH MY GOD. WHERE ARE THEY ALL COMING FRO?!?![/spoiler]
-
Once he reached a favorable area, JJ didn't play into JT's trap. Instead, he tossed Despair towards JT, and pulled out his bow. This time, he notched three arrows, aimed then horizontally, and fired them.
-
[i]JT could see the tilt of the bow and the three shots, and knew exactly what was to happen with the shot. So he knocked out two birds with one stone, allowing Despair to fly off into the background but that left little time to avoid the arrow, which pierced through his metal flesh and got stuck in him, the fires of his stomach burning away at the centre of the arrow's shaft. [/i]
-
Slowly running out of undamaged arrows, JJ notched another 3 arrows, tilted his bow slightly to the left, and fired diagonally.
-
[i]JT changed his tactics up this time, grabbing the middle arrow and ducking under the arrow that was highest with a spin. When he stood, the arrow he caught was thrown back at JJ, with speed thrice that of anything the bow could produce. [/i]
-
JJ didn't make an attempt to dodge. Instead, he simply stood up and welcomed the arrow. He had attempted to do this with his own blade before while he was using Despair. If it didn't work then, it wouldn't work with an arrow using the same energy. The arrow merely pinged off of Rage, ineffective. JJ then willed Despair back to him, from behind JT. He attempted to hit JT's left arm on the way back, with the hope of at least damaging it.
