"You are? Guess I can help with that, then?"
[i]Irina stopped just then, looking upon Xavier with a much more serious look than she had beforehand. Not too serious, but nonetheless.[/i]
English
-
"Well..." [i]Xavier brought his crowbar down to activate the device on it. And as soon as it was activated, Irina could see electricity coursing through the metal. At times, some sparks arced with the ground. [/i] "Gonna gave to test out it's combat capabilities."
-
"Electricity? You know that I'm cybernetic, right Xavier? This'll be neat." [i]Irina muttered quite quietly, although Xavier could hear her murmurs still.[/i] "Bah, whatever. C'mon, let's get started."
-
[i]Xavier nodded, grasping both his hands on the rubber grips engineered onto the crowbar. He then put his feet apart, holding the improvised weapon to the side.[/i]
-
[i]Irina kept her Rakuyo's blades separate, as she merely circled around Xavier. Her best bet was to try to not get hit at all, to be truthful. Otherwise, she'd be in hell.[/i]
-
[i]Xavier, however, just stood still. He only just watched Irina's movements as she circled around him. He clenched his crowbar, not not too firmly.[/i]
-
[i]Irina decided to take the first move, although with a different approach.[/i] [i]Allowing her Rakuyo to be conjoined once more, she charged, prepping a slash-[/i] [i]-Before fainting as she aimed her left hand, a grapple shooting from her palm and wrapping around Xavier's weapon hand. She pulled, bringing him close as she awaited his response.[/i]
-
[spoiler]I think you meant to say 'feinting'.[/spoiler] [i]Xavier raised his crowbar to block, not expecting the grapple to latch onto his hand. As he started to get pulled close, he attempted to tug on the grapple as he went along with it, trying not to trip. But seeing that he was getting closer to Irina, he gripped the crowbar with his right hand and raised it to strike her when he got close enough.[/i]
-
[spoiler]Meant that, apologies. Autocorrect.[/spoiler] [i]Xavier raising his crowbar to strike was indeed, what Irina wanted, as she sheathed her sword and began to reel in Xavier faster and faster. Her ultimate plan was to disarm him, after all.[/i]
-
[i]He was now stumbling a fair bit, not being able to keep up with being reeled in. He started trying to bash the grappling hook of his hand, trying to get it off one way or another.[/i]
-
[i]And it did - the bashing of the hook caused Irina to lose balance, as the hook itself was bent and twisted due to Xavier hitting it. She sighed, slicing off the grappling hook with a blade that protruded from her right arm before sheathing it once more.[/i] "Alright.." [i]Steadying herself, Irina drew her Rakuyo - but only the sword portion, keeping the dagger at the side.[/i]
-
[i]Xavier steadied himself, holding the crowbar to the side. Then suddenly, with a burst of speed, he quickly covered the ground between them and swung his crowbar diagonally at her.[/i]
-
[i]Irina's initial reaction was to jolt to the side, bending her body as she slid underneath the crowbar. She didn't have any time to effectively slash his stomach open, so she instead propelled herself into the air, flinging her knife at his stomach.[/i]
-
[i]Xavier quickly batted the knife to the side, making the blade slide across the floor. He then followed up with raising his crowbar, and then throwing it at Irina while running at her.[/i]
-
[i]As Irina landed, the crowbar effectively slammed into her gut, causing her to painfully gasp and stumble back. Groaning, she kicked the crowbar to the side, allowing it to skitter across the ground as she switched her sword to her left hand.[/i]
-
[i]Then almost in an instant, Xavier rushed forward and delivered a punch to Irina's face.[/i] [u]Ability: Rush on cooldown[/u] [i]He then followed up by attempting to jab at Irina's left arm.[/i]
-
[i]Irina yelled out due to the punch, knocked back but immediately returning to combat as she grabbed Xavier's fist with her left hand, twisting his arm before kicking him away.[/i]
-
[i]Stumbling back while grasping his injured arm, he quickly ran towards his crowbar and rolled, grabbing it. He brandished the blunt weapon a couple times, then started to slowly advance at Irina.[/i]
-
[i]Irina soon recovered, shaking her head and sighing as she stared upon Xavier carefully. She merely twirled her blade, waiting upon his next move.[/i]
-
[i]He quickly extended his hand towards Irina and casted two psionic projectiles towards her, one homing towards her head and one towards her left arm. After doing that, Xavier started to sprint with his crowbar held to the side.[/i]
-
[i]Irina was able to dodge the bolt headed towards her head, although the blast went towards her left arm hit, knocking her back slightly due to the pure force. She was still capable in combat with her right arm, though.[/i]
-
[i]Xavier used his momentum to slide, just when he reached about five metres away from her. He took a swing at her legs, hoping to knock her over.[/i]
-
[i]By then, Irina had recovered, and had noticed Xavier's assault: she switched her weapon to her left hand, as a two-foot long Damascus steel blade protruded from her right forearm. She slashed with the weapon once Xavier came close - she knew that she could be tripped still, but would be taking Xavier's leg with her.[/i]
-
[i]The crowbar struck Irina, instantly sending another jolt of electricity through her body as she fell. Xavier grimaced as pain flared below his knee, blood seeping through his pants. He quickly flipped around, lifting himself up to a crouching position while tearing off a piece of his damaged pant leg and bandaging the flowing wound.[/i]
-
[i]Searing with pain, Irina yelled loudly as electricity traversed her partially cybernetic body, slamming her fist onto the flooring as she stumbled upwards. Still considerably stunned, she backed away from Xavier, breathing heavily.[/i]
-
[i]After finishing making the bleeding stop on his leg, he picked up his crowbar and started walking towards Irina, brandishing the weapon in hand. Since he wasn't that far from her, he took a swing at her left shoulder.[/i]
