First Year 1v1 2nd Round: Tenne V Viridian [Limited: 3/8]
« on: October 26, 2016, 04:31:20 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 SECOND ROUND OF THE VYTAL FESTIVAL!" The crowd erupted into a ceremonious cheer, whoops and hollers came from all corners of Remnant as people tuned into the match from home. "YOU ALL KNOW HOW IT WORKS BY NOW, INTRODUCTION, SOMEWHAT OFFENSIVE QUIP, AND THEN ENVIRONMENTAL SPINNER, SO LET'S GET RIGHT INTO IT! IN THE SECOND ROUND, WE'VE GOT TWO MORE BEACON KIDS! SO MANY BEACON KIDS, LIKE... WOW. IN THE FIRST CORNER, WE HAVE TENNE BYZANT, AND IN THE OTHER CORNER, WE HAVE VIRIDIAN BRANDT, HOPEFULLY THIS TIME ONE OF YOU WON'T JUST FORFEIT. NOW, ONTO THE ENVIRONMENTAL SPINNER!" The crowd cheered heartily.

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 Mountain and Dust Field.

"LOOKS LIKE WE'VE GOT A MODIFIER, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!"

The floor of the arena lowered and, in its place, arose a "single" new floor. The entire floor became a winter forest, covered in snow and packed with snow covered trees. All throughout the field, a frozen river snaked, covered in ice just thick enough to stand on. (You will both start on opposite ends, in the frozen forest.)

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


(A coin flip decided Viridian gets the first post. The arena size is that of the 1v1 arena in the show, but still features biomes, though scaled down. Good luck, contestants.)

Viridian stretched his arms over his shoulder as he waited for the announcer to finish his annoying spiel. Seriously, where'd they find this idiot. Not that it mattered. He wasn't the opponent, Tenne Byzant was. And she proved to be far more interesting than Midori. Or, at least, less annoying. Either way, she was not winning this fight. The other semi final had the dumbass who put Gray in the hospital, and Viridian was not gonna miss the opportunity to kick his ass. Team honour and all that. Plus it would be fun.

And there was the open door. Viridian marched forward without sparing a glance towards the crowds, and instead took his place in the centre. "Try not to bore me like the last one, Byzant" Viridian smirked as hebegan to twirl his sheathed blade between his hands, trying to confused Tenne before leaping forward and starting with a horizontal draw slash to the torso (7%) and a kick to the gut to push her back (4%).

Aura=100%

(Same as last time, I'll just put an aura value beside the attacks to save time. If you don't like that, I'm willing to write it out at the bottom.)

Tenne rolls her eyes at her opponents brovado, dropping down into a boxing stance as she hops from one foot to the other, "So long as your pansy ass doesn't quit on me like the las-," her words suddenly cut off as the dark haired boy rushed towards her, sword in hand. She curled in on herself like a boxer going on the defensive, gauntlets catching the brunt of the blade, though the edge caught her side a moment before she got her guard up. Blocking gut shot by simply keeping the same stance, she bounced forward, trying to keep inside his reach, hoping to hamper his use of the weapon in the close quarters. She threw a left jab at his head(3%), the punch meant as a distraction she tried to trip his legs up, attempting to knock him prone.

Viridian stepped back, in an effort to keep some space between him and Tenne. He tried to bring his scabbard up to block the punch, but was unable to thanks to her close proximity. His head darted back, and he grunted as Tenne tripped him up. Viridian fell onto his back, and threw his legs forward at Tenne, as both a kick to create space (5%) and a self righting manoeuvre, and darted back a few feet. "Who'd be so dull as to quit? What a weakling".

Tenne stumbled back as Viridian's legs clipped her own, catching herself on the large trunk of a nearby tree. Seeing her opponent back away, taking away her advantage for the moment, she threw a chain up in to the thick branches of the tree, the winch within reeling in the chain as is whisked her up through the pine needles, the faunus having to clear her nose multiple times as the overpowering scent of pine assailed her. Taking the small moment of reprieve, she walked down a thick branch, color draining from her slightly as a clone remained behind in her starting position.

Wanting to draw attention away from the hidden clone, she quickly used her chain to move to a tree in the direction Viridian had been going, noisily breaking branches along the way to make her presence known, "Who knows, seems he threw a bitch fit when his plan to cover our fucking arena in lava almost destroyed his own weapons," she answered, scanning the forest floor for some sign of the human, tail twitching behind her in anticipation as the clone remained where it had been summoned, set to passive for the moment.

Viridian swore when he saw, or more accurately, didn't see Tenne, and took off to his right at a sprint. He darted between trees for a while, changing his direction a few times, until he stopped and hid behind a tree. Relaxing a little, Viridian tried to listen out for Tenne, soon hearing her voice emanating from behind him and to his right. "That was, who? Ismael Skaos? What a thoroughly annoying and yawn inducing individual he must be then. Speaking of bitch fits though, where'd you run off to? Bitching out so soon?!" Viridian called back to Tenne, before darting forward and hiding behind another tree.

Damn winter forest, course Viridian was unlucky enough to get two ice biomes in a row. Too damn cold.

Tenne smirked as she listened to his comments, sniffing the air a few times to try and get his scent, though the broke pine needles and tree sap made it difficult. Seeing no other action for the moment, another clone appeared in front of her, going further down the limbs to get a better look at the ground. Seeing his tracks in the snow, the clone dropped to the ground, following them as it took a length of chain in its right hand, a hefty weight on the end of it being swung as it followed the disturbed drifts. "Not fucking likely, you were just so damn boring I figured the real fighter had to be somewhere else," her voice issuing from the clone(C2 from now on), if somewhat in a monotonous pitch. Seeing the tracks suddenly disappear into a group of trees, relayed the info to Tenne and it's sister clone (C1 from here on). The pair began to circle around above in the trees, preparing themselves to strike once their prey had been located.

C2 proceeded forward, trying to figure out just where Viridian had went by his tracks and voice from earlier, stance defensive as it's eyes darted back and forth, trying to catch sight of pale opponent.

Viridian sighed gently as he leaned on the tree. Running and hiding was not his style, but without information on Tenne's skills, running in blind would be a fool's mistake. And now, she was probably out there, hunting him down. She didn't have any obvious tracking gear, though the tail she had meant faunas, so maybe she had some sort or enhanced sense to utilise. And then her semblance, whatever that was. All in all, not good. At least Midori made it pretty clear what he was all about. Time to test her out, perhaps. Viridian lifted his sword up in front of him, and used his semblance to charge it up.

"Takes two to tango. I didn't see you start anything interesting either", Viridian called over his shoulder and darted forward. As he did, he vertically slashed his sword towards his right, sending an energy slice tearing through the air, where it chopped a branch off of a tree. It fell to the ground with a thump. Viridian himself slipped behind another tree, and kept his eyes out, to see if Tenne took the bait.

Nathan plopped down in the stands, clad in his coat and complete with hood pulled onto his head. The camouflage was incredibly effective and literally no one had recognized him so far - or at least, nobody had let him know about it. Still, it was better to get to know his potential opponents before he got in the ring with them, hence his presence here.

Eyes darting to the crashing sound in the forest, the clone bolts forward, following the sound as snow crunches beneath her feet. Breaking through the tree line she narrows her eyes as she sees the neatly cut limb not laying on the ground, growling as her small portion of patience began to fray. Tired of playing hide and seek, a pnuematic hiss can be heard as a spray of red coats the chains of the clones weapons, the weighted balls at the end becoming engulfed in flames. Whipping it through the air, she slams them in an arc through the trees infront of her, flaming ball crashing through one tree after another, their trunks alight with a crimson blaze as the now flaming felled trees fell over, melting the snow around them before the melted ice began to temper the flames.

Hearing the commotion, Tenne and C1 altered their course, heading towards C2's new position.

Hook, line and sinker. Impatient and short tempered, always good to work with. Fiery balls on chains, not so much. Viridian spun on his heel and ran around in the same direction, trying to keep ahead of the flaming balls, but still being whacked with a few pieces of debris.

 Soon, realising this wouldn't work, Viridian slid to a halt and stepped towards C2, getting clipped by the ball instead of smashed in the spine with it. Viridian continued his charge towards C2, lashing out with a high stab to the head (8%) followed by a low feint with the sword to draw C2's guard away from the scabbard being sent at her gut (4%). Viridian back stepped quickly after this, grinning, and used the remainder of his semblance to send another slash through the air, this time aimed to cut C2 from shoulder to hip (10%). "Now we're getting somewhere with you!"

Aura=92%

C2's eyes widen as the human burst through the flaming debris, blade swinging in a high arc as it was aimed at her head, the blade quickly coming at her. Acting reflexively, the brought the chain up to block the blow, drawn taut as she held it with both hands in front of her. Sparks flew from the two as the blade ran its length across the links, before a strike to her gut knocked the wind out of her. Looking back up as she recovered, she merely had time to bring her arms up to block the incoming strike, mitigating some of the blow as it broke across her gauntlets.

Panting a little, she smiled as she heard Viridian's response, chain re-holstering as it quickly switched the iron weight out for the wickedly curved hooks, "Don't get too fucking uppity now, this weak ass shit barely counts as foreplay," she said as she wrapped the still burning chain around her right fist, whipping the left out towards the swordsman. It was clear though that it was a wide shot, the hook missing the hunter by a few feet as it soared past him. A dull thunk could be heard as it bit into one of the felled trees. Muscles tensing, she viciously yanks the chain back, log now hurtling at the boy from behind(12%). As the log came from behind, C2 ran forward, aiming the burning fist for the humans ribcage (8%)

Finally arriving, Tenne and C1 remain in the trees. For the moment they had the element of surprise, and besides, the clone seemed to have things under control for the moment.

"If this is foreplay, I'm just dying to get to the main event" Viridian smirked as he changed his stance, crouching slightly and lifting his blade in front of her. If he timed it just right, he could sidestep the punch and the log at the same time, giving C2 the pleasure of dealing with that, though he was a bit insulted that she thought that a trick as glaringly obvious as that would work. And that's just what he did, spinning on his left heel while pushing off of his right. While not a perfect dodge, still getting clipped in the ribs by the punch, it worked out well enough, giving Viridian the space to lash out with his own attack, a stab to C2's side (7%), timed so that it would impact just after the log.

"It's very disappointing that Midori was better than this. At least he could throw a punch. You're just a disappointing fighter, deprived of skill or wit", Viridian cheekily jeered at C2 as he backed off from the stab as quickly as he backed away from the engagement as quickly as he'd arrived, aiming to get into a more open area thanks to C2's liberal tree smashing.

Seeing Viridian already dodging, the clone quickly altered course, hopping over the oncoming wood, though unfortunately not quick enough to avoid his blade, the tip scraping along her side as she went by. Sighing as she watched him run off once again, C2 jogged along after him, following him into the open area.

Seeing the fight now leaving the forest, Tenne sighed, she doubted she'd be able to keep hiding effectively for now. Looking up at the board displaying their aura levels, she could at least see they had put a decent dent in his own, her's still near full. As she stared at the board, an excited teeth baring smile alit on her face. Sending her next orders to C2, the pair followed them to the clearing, staying just out of sight of the dueling pair within the forest.

C2 finally broke through the trees, chuckling as she listened to Viridian's taunts, hand's outstretched as she came out. "Hell, I might want to meet the fucker myself, I mean goddamn, what the fuck are with these weak ass attacks," she said, jerking a thumb at the aura read out's on the screen, "I mean fuck does that piece of shit box cutter need to be sharpened or something, you've barely made a dent," she taunted him. With a wicked smile, the clone yawning as she flipped him the bird, "How about we make this interesting, take your best shot," she told him, presenting her neck to him, "let's see what that fucking toy can actually do."

Viridian scowled as he glanced at the aura readings. He hadn't done anything to her since the first skirmish. Has to be her semblance then, nothing else would have that effect, which also meant it wasn't offensive like his own. But what could it be? Enhanced durability of some kind? Or perhaps it was some kind of replacement technique, like a clone or puppet. Or, worst of all, a perception filter of some manner, used to convince him he wasn't doing a damn thing to her.

"Can't handle this like a real warrior then? Needing to hide and lie your way to victory?" Viridian taunted in return, hoping to draw out a some sort of tell or, unlikely as it may seem, an explanation of Tenne's semblance. "You want me to go over there? Why can't you stop being a bitch and come fight me properly? Are you gonna show me what you've really got?!" Viridian yelled and spat at Tenne's feet in an effort to light up the temper she displayed earlier. Viridian might finally get a good fight out of her then, or at least something worth doing.
