Title: First Year 2v2 Match - Round 1: Lucina/Isabelle V Fallow/Kushii[Limited: 4/8]
Post by: Dr. Gustave on September 27, 2016, 08:49:23 PM
"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!" A Booming and energetic voice explodes through the speakers set up around the enormous stadium. A deep and gravely voice, like someone who spent too much time smoking and decided now would be a good time to start screaming for their entire life. "WELCOME TO THE VYTAL FESTIVAL'S FIRST ROUND OF PAIRED MATCHES!" The crowd erupted into a ceremonious cheer, whoops and hollers came from all corners of Remnant as people tuned into the match from home. "I AM YOUR ANNOUNCER, VULCO DENTRES, BUT I THINK AT THIS POINT, YOU ALREADY KNOW THAT. I MEAN, REALLY, IF MY VOICE HASN'T BEEN HEARD BY ALL YOU F ҉   ҉ KERS-" A loud, annoying BEEEP filled the arena. Of course, this of all events was kid friendly. "- ALREADY, i WOULD BE SURPRISED.ANYWAY, ONTO THE COMBAT! PREPARE YOURSELVES, IN THIS FIRST ROUND, WE'VE GOT TWO PAIRS FROM BEACON- AND WHY THE NAME BEACON? IN MEAN, WHY NOT EXPLOSION SCHOOL, OR "NOT AS COOL AS HAVEN" ACADEM- OHMYGOD F ҉   ҉ K OFF, DEREK! I'M TRYING TO DO COMMENTARY. ANYWAY, OUR FIRST PAIR IS LUCINA ARCHALETTA AND ISABELLE AOZORA, MEMBERS OF TEAM ALIA. GOD DAMN, THAT KID IS TATTED THE F ҉   ҉ K UP! AND THE OTHER TEAM, WITH SIGNIFICANTLY LESS TATTOOS, FALLOW RUSSET AND KUSHII UTSU- OH THAT'S THE ONE WITH THE F ҉   ҉ KING BLOW DRYER, SWEET! ANYWAY, ENOUGH ABOUT THEM, LET'S GO TO THE ENVIRONMENTAL SPINNER! WHAT DO YOU MEAN I'M BEING REPETATIVE, DEREK. HOW ABOUT YOU TRY BEING A MULTIVERSE ENTITY HAVING TO SPECTATE EVERY MATCH AT ONCE! WHAT? NO, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE WORDS I SAID MEAN, WHY?" After a silence, the crowd sort of just... clapped.

A large holographic image of a lottery machine appears on all sides of the arena, with two spinners. The spinners spun so quickly, making it nearly impossible to make out the passing words. It ticked through the options slower and slower until it finally stopped on Savannah and Mountain.

"AH THE LOVELY VACUAN LANDSCAPE."

The floor of the arena lowered and, in its place, arose two new floors. Lucina and Isabelle's half became a flat plain with simply chest high, densely packed, wheat blades, and Fallow and Kushii's half became a large red rock plateau with a steep drop, leading down into the Savannah. (Fallow and Kushii will start atop the mountain)

Just then, the doors on each side of the arena opened and, from them, out strolled the combatants.


(A coin flip decided Fallow and Kushii get the first posts. The arena size is that of the 2v2 arena in the show, and features scaled down biomes. Good luck, contestants.)

Fallow couldn't help but laugh as he saw the environment he and his partner had been given.  "could they have given us a bigger advantage?" an amused Fallow asked to his teammate.  "I assume I don't need to tell you the plan for this situation." As he finished his statement Fallow ran his hands over a page in the Russet Grimoire and a fireball appeared in his hand. With a flick of his hand the fireball hurtled into the wheat field not aimed at either combatant but setting the field ablaze. [3% damage in the unlikely event that it connects.]

Marlon bellowed his support from the stands, his younger sister Melinda by his side, cheering along in her small, gentle voice. Naturally no one could hear her, but she clapped along anyway and hopped up and down in excitement, her long brown hair almost flying out of its red bow. Mr. Utsu looked perfect even on the battlefield! The way his hair shined in the light, his stature, his stance, it all was so elegant! A high color rose to her cheeks, and Marlon blessedly assumed she was getting caught up in the thrill of the crowd. She'd told him she'd like to go as she'd wanted to see something like this in person for once. As he was already going to be there, he saw no harm, and happily indulged her.

"Knock 'em dead, boys!"

"I believe in you Mr. Utsu! And Mr. Russet!" she added, not a moment too soon. From what Marianne had said, Marlon wouldn't like her recently discovered interest in Mr. Utsu...

Taking a moment to glance around at the environment provided by the spinner, Isabelle raised one hand in the air, an expression of true disappointment appearing on her face. "Really? They got a mountain, and we have wheat. Just our luck..." Rolling her eyes, the catgirl reached behind herself and grabbed an arrow from her quiver, nocking it onto the bow in her hand. It was at this point that she noticed the ball of fire being launched in their general direction. While she didn't have to move much for it to miss, the field had been set on fire, yet another inconvenience to them.

Looking over at her partner, Isabelle couldn't help but smile a little, before looking back towards their opponents with seemingly new confidence. "We can do this. I'll go in first. Follow behind me." With that, she started to run forward, avoiding the fire until she reached the foot of their plateau. Wasting no time, she activated her semblance, glowing light blue for a moment before taking off into the air at a very high speed. Pulling the string of her bow back, she waited until she had reached the peak of her massive jump, temporarily being at level with the opponents on top the mountain. Aiming the shot at Kushii, she released the dust-infused arrow towards him, the tip striking him in the torso before exploding in his face. (10%. Autohit, because time ran out.)

Falling back down, Isabelle soon landed at the bottom of the plateau, taking a moment to recover. She then started to run around it in circles in an effort to recharge her semblance. She hoped that Lucina would be able to climb the mountain on her own, as she knew that the other girl didn't exactly have a semblance that would be useful in this situation.

The time for the Vytal Festival had finally come, and the combatants from the legendary Team ALIA of Beacon Academy were primed and ready. Three months of "training" at the local coffee shop & vinyl record store would pay off in these matches to come. As the legendary pair of misfits stood on the main stage of the massive Amity Colosseum, Lucina would note the holographic lottery spinner which would determine one of their advantages or disadvantages in this first match of theirs. As the the spinner came to a halt and the terrain formed to what was indicated on the spinner, Lucina gave a deep sigh. Exactly like a lottery machine involving lien, she always lost. Staring at the useless bed of wheat surrounding them, Lucina would sarcastically reply to her feline teammate's seemingly annoyed comment on the situation. "This...would probably be useful if the match lasted a week or more". As Isabelle moved slightly to the side, Lucina would also note the fireball being hurled their way. Running a few steps away from her previous location, the fireball would crash down igniting their precious golden commodities.

As Isabelle said to follow after her, Lucina would give a slight nod and take off in the direction of the intimidating mountain-of-fun. Noting Isabelle's direct hit with her arrow, she would take advantage of this initiation. Pulling the crudely made trigger on her saw, Lucina would continue to rush towards the plateau with her weapon in it's elongated cleaver form. Swiftly approaching the plateau she had little time to spare, so she would load a slim vial of powdered lightning dust into Hunter II. As she reached the boy (Kushii) that Isabelle had initiated upon, her blade would begin to emanate blue sparks. Finally arriving at her target, Lucina would move slightly to the left of the boy and hold out the blade of her cleaver so that it would make contact with the boy. As the blade made contact, a swiftly fading flash of blue would come from the point of contact located at his chest area (7% autohit due to the time limitation being broken).

As Lucina knew she had made contact, she would immediately begin to head towards the boy who had ignited their precious wheat.

Fallow sighed as both of their opponents climbed the mountain with remarkable speed and the unresponsive Kushii started getting whaled on.  "I knew I should have partnered with Arashi. Running a hand over his spellbook Fallow extended his hand in the direction of Lucina sending a small blast of kinetic dust at her hoping to propel her off the mountain and back into the burning wheat field. [5% damage if it connects and additional damage that you can decide if she falls into the fire.]

Iron was calmly watching the match.

With his two arms crossed and the third arm feeding him popcorn, Iron could truly enjoy the match. As a part of the greatest team known as ALIA, Iron had instantly calculated their success rate from the first frew seconds of the match. Including the factor of the environment and the opponents' possibilr abilities, he came up with a measly 50%.

In reality, that's all BS, and Iron was actually just silently waving a flag that says "Team ALIA" and was trying to excuse it. The team pride is strong with this one.

"BYGAWD, THAT MAN HAS A FAMILY! MAKE IT STOP!" Vulco screamed into the microphone as he watched Kushii get pounded over and over and over. "AS GOD AS MY WITNESS, THAT MAN IS BROKEN IN HALF! CALL THE MATCH, SOMEONE CALL MATCH! DEREK, WHAT ARE YO- OH SHIT I CALL THE MATCH! KUSHII IS OUT, HE IS OUTTA HERE!!"

(Kushii forfeits by lack of post. Gooooooooooooooooooooood luck Arcus.)

Before Lucina could reach Fallow, she was swiftly propelled in the exact direction she didn't want to be headed in. As she didn't expect dust thrown at her in a manner similar to pocket sand, her reaction wasn't very good. As she fell from the "mountain" Lucina would look below her, noting that she would be falling directly into fire. Not being able to do a whole lot about it, she would wriggle slightly in an attempt to move as much of her body out of the spreading fire as possible. As she landed with a quite audible thud [5% damage taken; 95% remaining], Lucina would very quickly roll herself out of the fire. However, she was slightly singed in her landing [3% fire damage; 92% remaining] and was now also far away from her target.

Hearing the booming announcer's voice resonate throughout the Colosseum, Lucina made note that Kushii was now out of the picture and the ALIA duo would now be able to focus purely on Fallow. Hoping Isabelle would continue to keep Fallow on his feet, Lucina would make her way back up the mountain to help her teammate.

While her teammate plummeted from the top of the plateau, Isabelle was still dashing around it, eventually coming to a stop on the opposite side from where her partner was. While part of her wanted to go over there and give the other girl some assistance rather than letting her land in fire, she knew that taking advantage of the situation by ambushing Fallow would be the better strategic move. Pushing her feelings to the back of her mind, the faunus began climbing up the steep hill, stopping once she was about one-third of the way up.

Activating her semblance once again, a light blue glow appeared around Isabelle shortly before she leaped into the air, this time launching her right above the plateau. As she spotted Fallow below, a small grin grew on her face. She had practiced this move dozens of times before. While not very amazing or original, it was one of her favorites. Having reached the peak of her super-powered jump, she began to drop out of the air, drawing her sword from the sheath on her hip. She then held it above her head, swinging the blade vertically as she came down onto the plateau, attempting to slam it right on top of Fallow. [8% damage]

Fallow saw his first target falling from the hill and this turned his attention to his other target just in time to see her shoot into the air. Keeping track of her as she flew Fallow heard the announcement and sighed . dammit Kushii. Could you be any more useless. running his hand across a page in his book Fallow sidestepped the blow bound for his head swiping his hand an leaving a trail of fire dust a his opponents feet. With a closing of his hand be activated his spell the fire dust erupting violently upwards towards her. [3% damage]

Too focused on trying to get her sword to hit him, Isabelle hardly noticed when Fallow let out a quick trail of dust which soon erupted in flames right into her. While she held her arms out to block the flames, it didn't really do anything to stop them, the attack causing her to stagger a bit [3% damage taken].  She wasn't smiling anymore, instead looking both annoyed and a bit startled from the fire. Taking a few steps back, one hand darted to the pouch on her belt, swiftly pulling out a small vial of electric dust before inserting it into the handle of her sword.

Seeing that Lucina was approaching, Belle moved back in to engage Fallow once more. She knew that if she and her teammate could take him at the same time, the match would go much more smoothly. Dashing forward, she soon made a small jump in his direction before bringing the now electrically charged blade at him in a horizontal strike. [6% damage]

Noticing that Isabelle was closing in rapidly after she was hit, Lucina realized that if she was able to get in an attack while Fallow was guarding against Isabelle's, he most likely wouldn't be able to defend against the onslaught that ALIA brought on. As Lucina thought, she noticed a possibly handmade Team ALIA flag waving in the audience; a somewhat annoying distraction. I swear I'm going to hit either Iron or Ayaka when we finish up. Nodding her head in embarrassment, Lucina would continue to approach Fallow.

Knowing exactly what she needed to do, she retrieved a slim vial of propulsion dust, swiftly slamming it into the dust slot in her weapon. As the weapon began to glow a blindingly white snow color, Lucina pulled the crudely made trigger to morph her weapon into its previous saw form. Upon doing this, Lucina would begin to spin in a circle 3 times, holding her weapon out away from her body finally releasing it in the direction of Fallow on the third time around. Hoping Fallow wouldn't be able to react to the swiftly flying saw powered with propulsion dust [15% damage], Lucina fell on the ground, actually kind of dizzy from the spins.

Marlon looked down and caught his younger sister crying, and quickly guessed as to why. Good job, Fruitcake, ya didn't watch yourself and got kicked hard in the can, and now ya got Melinda all fussy-like. Watchin' a beatin' that brutal wasn't the most upliftin' thing...Sighing heavily and wishing he could stay to cheer on Fallow when he needed it most, he put an arm around his distraught sibling and began guiding her to the door.

Mr. Utsu...they kept hittin' him in his beautiful face, how could they be so cruel and hard-hearted? He deserved better treatment, Melinda swore he did. They did him wrong. Big, wet tears fell down her cheeks as she let herself be led out of the Colosseum, trying to think of how to right the situation. Maybe she could sew him a soft silk pillow to rest his sore head? Oh this was awful...man alive it was awful....

Fallow smirked as his opponent pulled the exact same move again.  The same move? Well I'll just dodge it in the same way. Fallow once again sidestepped the strike and raised his leg preparing to send a kick into his enemies face when he was suddenly hit in the back by a spinning blade and sent pitching forward along the mountain.  "Dammit. 2 enemies." running his hand over his spellbook once again Fallow extended his hand towards his adversaries and the ground at their feet fractured around them becoming spikes angled at them before they flew forward forcefully. [15% damage unless they can escape] After he had cast the spell Fallow remained in place breathing heavily but with a smile on his face as there was so much dust kicked up he just assumed he had connected.  "hahaha. Eat that."

Getting ready to take a foot to the face, Isabelle was soon saved by a flying saw that slammed into her opponent, knocking him out of the way. Believing that he was far enough, she took the opportunity to sheath her sword once again before grabbing the bow off of her back. However, what she didn't expect was the ground to start breaking apart below her. Before she could get out of the way, a spike slammed into her stomach, sending her back quite a distance [15% damage taken].

Clutching her abdomen as she slid to a halt on the ground, Isabelle wasted little time, climbing back onto two feet and pulling two arrows from her quiver. One of them was tipped with Ice dust, while the second was the same explosive type that she had used earlier. While she couldn't see Fallow clearly through all of the kicked up dirt from his attack, she listened as best as she could, her faunus ears picking up the sound of his heavy breathing.

As swiftly as she could, she nocked the ice arrow and shot it into the ground in front of where the sound came from, creating a big chunk of ice where it struck. She then fired the next arrow at the exact same spot, the explosion shattering the ice and sending a large amount of shrapnel in Fallow's general direction [8% damage]. Her main goal with the attack was to give her teammate enough time to recover so that they could go on the offensive once again.

As Lucina sat on the ground still rather dazed from her previous attack, she would make note of Fallow's attempt to hit two birds with one stone. As she was already on the ground watching the encounter between Fallow and Isabelle, she would have ample time to react to Fallow's storm of spikes. Making herself lay flat on the ground, Lucina would hope to minimize the chance of being hit by spikes. But as it would seem, Lady Luck was not on her side and two spikes grazed the top of her left kneecap and one straight across her forehead [Reduced 5% damage due to positioning].

After the spikes had passed and Lucina had taken her hits, she felt well enough to sprint away, needing to actually retrieve her weapon which was so monumental to her success in this fight. Knowing Fallow would most likely attempt to hit her, being unarmed and all, Lucina would ready a vial of repulsion dust to deflect any attacks, but woould it be enough? Emerging from her position on the ground, Lucina would begin to sprint towards the location behind Fallow which her weapon lay, also noting Isabelle's very useful assistance in the form of shrapnel.

Through the dust Fallow saw the figures rising before suddenly large chunks of ice started slamming into him and sending him backwards before one of his adversaries came out of it unarmed. Running his hand across the page of his book a blue crackle appeared in his hand before he threw a bolt of lightning through the air at Lucina dealing 5% damage [autohit as I was given permission] before moving to pick up the blade she was going for and throwing it from the cliff back into the fire below.

Surprisingly enough, Isabelle's arrow attack had worked, the chunks of ice causing him to reel back a bit. While she had originally been hoping that Lucina would be able to use this time to get her weapon back, this wasn't the case. Instead, her partner had been struck by a bolt of electricity, making her expression turn serious again. Starting to dash towards their opponent, she watched as he tossed Lucina's weapon aside, sending it into the flames at the bottom of the mountain.

'... Dick move.'

Not wanting to let Fallow get away with such a disrespectful act, Belle kept rapidly advancing towards him. Despite being on the offensive again, she still kept her bow in her grasp. She wouldn't need a blade for this, not yet. Her body began to glow blue for a brief moment before she leaped off the ground with her semblance once more. This time, she was sent straight at him rather than up, putting her legs out in front of her as she soared. The distance between them was closed in a second before the catgirl slammed into him, the drop kick striking him right in the torso before she fell to the ground [15% damage to Fallow, 3% to Isabelle. Autohit, because the post took longer than two days].

Despite readying a vial of repulsion dust in her hand, Lucina's reaction time was always utter shit. Before she could properly react, she was blinded by a bolt of lightning to the face. Effectively being stopped in her tracks, Lucina would hit the ground again as Fallow continued to bully her. After a quick Velma-esque moment of "Where the hell are my glasses?", Lucina was back on her feet again only to see her not-so-precious weapon be thrown off the mountainside. Now she would have to climb all the way back down to retrieve it, wasting time that she could spend on beating the shit out of Fallow.

In a complete fit of rage, Lucina would hurl the vial of repulsion dust she held in the general direction of Fallow, not even making note of Isabelle's previous attack. If the repulsion dust made contact with Fallow, it would repulse him in the direction of the mountainside, a befitting (albeit unintentional) revenge hit to the boy who had just threw her weapon off the cliff [20% damage, but 10% if the dust only makes contact and he does not fall].

Fallow felt the breath knocked out of him as he felt an impact into his chest. Fortunately the kick sent him sprawling away from the dust phial that had been thrown at him. Rolling as he slammed into the ground he was quickly back on his feet and reaching into his coat pulling out Lulu and Pip flicking their blades out and rushing Isabelle slashing quickly at her with each knife before hastily backing up.

As Fallow was recovering from the drop kick, Isabelle had plenty of time to get up herself and return her bow to its place on her back. However, the catgirl had taken note of the misfortune of her teammate, who had thrown some dust at the opponent out of anger and missed. Instead of facing Fallow, she turned and ran, the first knife catching her in the back before she bolted away [2% damage taken].

Soon reaching the edge of the mountain, she didn't think twice before leaping off, landing right in the fire where Lucina's weapon was located [4% damage taken]. Quickly grabbing it before the flames could harm her too much, she dashed back in the direction of the mountain, activating her semblance yet again to soar into the air.

"Lucina!"

Attempting to give her a proper warning by shouting at her, Isabelle spun in midair and threw the saw towards her teammate, the weapon sliding across the ground before stopping right at Lucina's feet. Afterwards, she landed on the plateau once again, before leaning over slightly while panting. She had used her semblance twice in a short amount of time, and was going to need a moment to rest. She could only hope that Lucina would be able to preoccupy Fallow for a little while now that she had her weapon back.

Becoming completely flustered after her vial completely missed Fallow, Lucina stood kind of idly in an attempt to think of something to make up for that embarrassing moment. Having little to retaliate with at the moment, Lucina could only be on standby as Isabelle got slashed at. Running out of viable ideas, Lucina grasped a vial of freeze dust which emanated a frosty aura. Ready to lob at Fallow, Lucina noticed Isabelle suddenly leap off the cliff, down into the fiery field that they started off in. As she quickly used her semblance to get back up, Lucina's weapon was quickly at her feet thanks to her feline friend.

Quickly taking up her weapon, Lucina yelled a quick "Thanks, Belle!" before loading the vial of dust into the designated dust slot, hoping to distract Fallow long enough for Isabelle to recover adequately. Quickly rushing at Fallow from her current position, she would aim her cleaver in a wide slash towards his knees in hopes of freezing him in place [10% damage].

As the situation evolved around him Fallow saw an excellent opportunity as both his enemies were in the line of fire and between him and the edge of the mountain.  "too easy"  Fallow chuckled to himself as he put his knives away and once again withdrew his spellbook. As he turned through the book looking for the page a large shockwave spell was in he leaped backwards to avoid a cleaver slash at his legs. Finding the page he was looking for Fallow ran his hand over the page and snapped it outwards at both Lucina and Isabelle. A blast of kinetic dust flew at them hopefully knocking both of them from the cliff and back into their fire.  [10% damage +fall and fire damage.] After the spell Fallow was once again left breathing heavily  damn. I'm using my semblance way too rapidly. Guess I'm going to need to use my knives now.

Isabelle had seen it enough times by now to know what was coming. The way he searched through the book in his hand was a clear sign of an impending attack that could potentially hit both Lucina and Belle. Even though she was still attempting to recover, staying in one spot wouldn't be the greatest of ideas. As he cast the dust out towards them, Isabelle quickly moved back a few meters to take cover part of the way down the side of the mountain. Once his wave of kinetic dust had passed, the catgirl climbed back up to the edge of the plateau.

Watching Fallow closely from a distance, it was completely apparent to her that he was starting to get a little worn down, probably due to the high amount of spells he had used. This would hopefully give Lucina a shot at hitting him, which was also likely considering that he only possessed a pair of knives. While she briefly considered moving forward as well so that the two of them could fight him in close-quarters together, she would probably be helping more if she supported her at a far range. At least, that was what she was hoping was the case.

Drawing her fourth arrow, Isabelle readied her bow and took aim at Fallow, lining the shot up carefully before letting the arrow fly. It had been sent towards his lower half, as she hoped that the ice dust arrow would be able to partially freeze him. If that happened, perhaps it would give her teammate a decent opportunity to strike. [7% damage, will freeze Fallow in place briefly if hit].

As Fallow dodged her wide slash, Lucina would have to retreat a bit and decide on the duo's next course of action dependent on what Isabelle decided to do."This fuck is making me look bad in front of all these people, I...just need a chance to make him look as bad as me." were Lucina's current thoughts, and she hoped Isabelle's "masterful strategies" would help her accomplish this goal.

As she noticed Fallow swiping his hand over the book he held once again, Lucina knew that a substantially powerful attack would come next. As she was now distanced from Fallow, Lucina could have the time to make a well-informed decision on her next move. Seeing Isabelle take cover behind the cliff, Lucina knew she wasn't close enough to do the same. Thinking of the option that didn't utilize the environment, Lucina would power her weapon with a vial of repulsion dust while transforming it into its cleaver form. Holding it vertically, Lucina would deflect what dust was coming her way back at Fallow [10% damage, same as initial attack]. Lucina also noticed Isabelle's ice arrow, which could only increase her chances at hitting Fallow, not even mentioning the fact that Fallow himself looked rather tired.

Fallow had to admit he was impressed as he saw Lucina standing her ground as his attack streaked towards her. when another shock wave turned his around he understood why and then was promptly flung backwards slamming head first into a rock [15% damage taken. +5% for crashing into a rock.] Fortunately one attack had knocked him away from another as an arrow struck and froze the space he had been in a few seconds earlier. Fallow took an awfully long time getting to his feet from the impact as he pulled his spell-book out.  "knives aren't going to work. I'm going to need to go all out and hope they go down before i do." With that he ran his hand over the book and he decided to try earthshatter again. Gesturing towards them the ground at their feet would once again shatter and fly directly at them [15% damage]. However Fallow didn't just stand still and watch the results this time already running his hand over the book and gesturing at Lucina. an orange orb floated out of his hand and slowly begun making it's way towards a hopefully dazed Lucina. Once it made contact with either her or the ground it would create an explosion large enough to destroy half of the cliff. [20% damage to any caught in the blast. Will not reach Lucina until Fallow's next post.] After casting those two spells Fallow fell to one knee as it had become difficult for him to even stand.

Being at the distance that she was, Isabelle saw the earth shattering attack coming, albeit a little late. Moving to jump out of the way, one of the rocks skimmed her leg, and while it didn't do as much damage as it could have, it did cause her to lose her balance [10% damage taken]. Being on the edge of the plateau, she could only hopelessly flail her arms in attempt to save herself. 'Shitshitshit-' A moment later, she fell back and rolled down the side of the hill, eventually faceplanting on the ground [5% damage taken].

Not wanting to accept what had just happened, Isabelle quickly stood up, furiously brushing the dirt off of herself as she started to run around the mountain. Her face was red with embarrassment, but she didn't plan on letting Fallow get away with what he had done. Once she was on the opposite side of the mountain, parallel to Lucina and behind Fallow, she drew a single explosive arrow before activating her semblance. In an instant, she was soaring through the air again, all while nocking the arrow on her bow. Once the jump reached the top of the plateau, she let the arrow fly, sending it straight towards Fallow before she landed on the mountain again [15% damage + explosion knockback].

Not wanting to 'waste' good repulsion dust, Lucina knew she would have to think of another solution to these attacks that Fallow possessed. Knowing that Fallow's ranged semblance attacks were his strong point, Lucina knew she had to get in close and make him use his knives. But she had absolutely no idea how she would accomplish this goal at the moment, as two attacks were headed her way already. Although, she noticed Fallow fall to one knee, and realized that she would have to somehow get to him right after his combo attacks. But, as of now, Lucina would have to do her best to avoid this incoming attack.

As the shockwave reached her, she soon realized that there was little to be done and that Fallow had caught her in a good spot. As she lost her balance and rocks hit her from multiple directions [15% damage taken], she would catch the orb slowly moving in her direction. She knew that she wouldn't have ample time to react, but could only rely on Isabelle for anything.

Fallow smiled as he saw that not only had his shockwave hit both of his targets and sent one of them falling from the cliff and that Lucina seemed to just be standing there waiting to take the blast. It was in that moment however that he saw a shadow on the ground just in front of him.  "oh shit."  Attempting to move backwards out of the way Fallow didn't manage to completely avoid the attack but he did manage to move far enough to be on the other side of the arrow. Instead of being sent forwards into his own explosion he was sent backwards ending up at the feet of his attacker looking up at them. [15% damage taken.] In the mean time his attack reached it's mark and a large explosion rang out obscuring the entire mountain from view with the dust it kicked up. Leaving a large crater and dealing 20% damage to Lucina along with propelling her back towards the edge of the mountain unless she could somehow escape the blast a large smile crossed his face as he looked up at his other opponent.  "This is going well."

Isabelle watched with a smile as Fallow was hit by the explosion, getting knocked over and sliding to a halt in front of her. Backing up a couple of steps to make sure he couldn't grab her by the leg or anything, she nodded, pulling two arrows out of her quiver and readying them. Both modified with electric dust. She was a little too distracted by the opponent being on the ground right in front of her to pay much attention to Lucina's predicament.

"I'd have to agree." The catgirl spoke calmly to Fallow, even as she raised the bow with two arrows on it and drew back. Despite the fact that she was using twice as many arrows, she managed to do it very quickly, having practiced the movement countless amounts of times. The distance between them was only a few feet, and she was ready to release both of them in his direction at a moment's notice. "You, uh, might want to surrender though. Otherwise, this is going to hurt." Isabelle had no idea if he had any other tricks up his sleeve, but she really didn't believe that anything he could do would be faster than the arrows that she held in her fingers. Her eyes watched his hands closely, just waiting to see if he would try anything. Part of her really wanted that to happen.

Having little to do in this situation, Lucina would have to sit back and just take it like she has in many other situations (; D)[20% damage taken]. Having just experienced an explosion worthy of Michael Bay himself, Lucina would take a moment before getting up, as Fallow seemed to be weak himself and Isabelle seemed to be handling the situation very well. Lucina would ready her own weapon, 'charging' its saw form with electric dust so the duo could hopefully wombo-combo Fallow if he decided to pull something big.

As Fallow saw the arrows drawn right at his face Fallow could tell that his two opponents had him completely beaten. Damn. Looks like I'm completely screwed here. Might as well go out with a bang though.  Despite his predicament a smile appeared across Fallow's face as he raised his hands in surrender.  "well. You have me pinned here so there isn't really much i can do. Surrender would certainly be the smartest option."  While he spoke and hoped to be distracting his opponent he was slowly moving one hand towards the bow. Once he felt he was close enough he struck like a python. Grabbing the bow with one hand in order to wrench it away and prevent the arrows from hitting him his other hand snaked down to his book lying open taking whatever spell his hand brushed across. Feeling the cold in his palm Fallow knew it was one of his two ice based spells and it was the large variant of it. pulling on the bow to yank himself to his feet and raising his other hand 100 small blades of ice formed in the sky above both him and Isabelle.  "Ahh this seems like a beautiful way for things to end."  and with that comment he cast his hand downwards bringing all of the daggers of ice down on top of them. [2% damage on each blade that hits. Fallow will be reduced beyond the defeat threshhold by this attack in my next post.]

'... Is he being serious right now?'

Even if she was only a first year, Isabelle wasn't stupid, nor was she blind. It was clear that he was only talking in attempt to distract her, seeing as his hand had started to creep forward slowly. She wasn't even looking at him as he spoke, as her eyes were still locked on his hands. Surrender would indeed be the option that a smart person would choose. And here Fallow was, slowly reaching for a drawn bow. Without much hesitation, she let both of the arrows loose, sending them straight for his torso [10% damage, 10% damage].

Once he grabbed the bow, Isabelle struggled for a brief moment, planning to kick him before she stopped herself. He was in the middle of summoning a spell from his book. Letting go of her own weapon, the cat simply turned around and... ran away. While he spoke of how grand this ending of the battle was, Isabelle had taken the opportunity he had given her by jumping off the same side of the cliff that she had only landed on moments ago. Even after landing in the field that had been mostly burned to ash, she kept moving, both to get away and to charge her semblance if need be.

After all, the battle was about to end anyway, and she could just get her bow back after he knocked himself out of the match with his own attack. And, even if he did get out of the way of the ice daggers, Lucina was there and ready to strike. While she didn't see Fallow as being extremely bright after that stunt, he was at least right about the ending of the match. It was going to be beautiful.

Being an avid nerd, Lucina knew video games and shows well enough to know that lots of characters who know they're in a situation where they will perish will attempt to take others with them. She's also played enough video games and watched enough shows to be able to distinguish the difference between a good  final attack and a bad one. This? This was not an exemplary one.

As Lucina still waited, poised to strike, she soon realized that she probably wouldn't have to do...anything, really. As she watched Fallow slink over towards Isabelle and grab her bow, she thought to herself "W-We go to a combat school that trains future Huntsman and Huntresses. Did he NOT think she would figure him out?" Knowing very well that the fight would soon come to a close, Lucina simply got up and...walked away. With her back turned, of course, just in case something exploded.

  Well this is convenient.  Fallow's plan had been to at least not go out surrendering and possibly even take one of his opponents with him. Instead of this he had managed to acquire the weapon of one of them and have a spell raised over his head. With his initial target now run away and him being unaware that the arrows had taken him out of the battle, Fallow didn't bring the spell down on his own head and turned towards his other opponent given that they had a weapon in their hand only to find they had their back turned to him. moving his hand the blades of ice then flew at her instead.[same damage as before. 2% for every hit taken. you can decide how much.]
