Nathan couldn't avoid his enemy from grabbing him, but even then it wasn't too bad. He quickly spun around and to his side, brutally wrenching his wrist free and unknowingly avoiding the strike at him as the opponent's weapon swooped behind his back. Finishing his turn, he faced Catalina again with a defensive stance. Seeing the displacement, he realised the guy had apparently tried to ram him and missed.

He's getting annoyed from this, he knows and he has to not lose his head. Yeah, no, I don't want to be in the firing range of that barrage again. Nor do I want to be hit by that death staff of heat again.
Trying to close the distance again, Cat readied Take that!, swinging his sledgehammer into his target's fingers, with again the intention to smack the staff onto the ground or somewhere where picking it back up again would not be possible without giving openings to his attacks. If it missed he'll have to put down his hammer to just standing by and do close-quarter combat.

As Nathan saw the large hammer bearing down onto him, he thought better than trying to block and heftily moved back, the hammer passing by his fingers. Managing to be aware enough about his environment to not trip on a Dust crystal or just plain walk off the plateau, he moved back in and swung Ergia at Catalina's left hip, planning on resuming a defensive stance as quickly as possible.

On a second thought, it might not be so bad to leave his opponent with the staff, as long as Cata can stay close so that the staff can't hit him. Trying his best to stay close, he approached the Green-gray looking opponent with a anticlockwise circular movement, barely outrunning the staff's end and get hit by the middle. As he got closer he put the hammer on his back and delivered the left knee towards the stomach and two hooks, one to his face and the other to the back of the head.
[94% aura, the hooks are 3% each and the knee to the stomach is 5%.]

Nathan knew just how bad he was at close quarters. Instead of just standing there and getting mauled, he stepped back and around his opponent, replicating the general direction of an anti clockwise spin while getting a bit of distance from Catalina. This allowed him to rather easily dodge the hits being sent his way, although he had to lean back a bit to keep the punches from connecting.

Right. The guy fought melee. This was good and bad. Nathan was pretty sure he could keep some distance between him and the guy and just let him tire himself out, but that'd just take too long to fully work - if his opponent even ended up tiring out. Instead, while maintaining a good distance, he started swinging Ergia. A first hit with one end aimed at the left thigh, a second one with the second end aimed at the enemy's right side and a third one with the first end again, this time aimed at the left temple and/or shoulder - or rather, at that general area.

Catalina raised his hammer again upon seeing it'll be difficult to get close, transforming back into rifle but were hit by the spinning staff before he could do anything, and followed through and duck to avoid the second hit completely. He aimed and emptied his cartridge on Nathan the first moment he knew the second spin passed, still lying on the ground as he did so. 3 of each targeted his two legs and the remaining 8 were spread evenly onto his torso and the immediate side of it. Once again ignoring the result of the rounds he got up standing, again ready to infiltrate the opponent's guard. Where was that dust patch again?
[Aura: 92%]
[Still 3% each hit, take as many as he can't avoid.]

Nathan did not see the close-range rifle blasts coming. Thankfully, it was a rifle and he was almost in his face, so he didn't take that many hits. Every single one stung like a mofo, but he dealt with it. Turning up the heat, he pressed forward again, aiming a quick jab into the guy's chest before going into a defensive stance. He wasn't about to make the same mistake twice.

(Ergia is now heated up, adding 5% Fire damage to strikes and probably even more if you try to grab a hold of it :P)
(Jab: 7% + 5% Aura damage)

Only now Cata realized how desperately outmatched he is. Shorter reach and less firepower and hitting weaker with weapons!? No thanks, gonna make all the effort in disarming that huge staff.
On the mouth he said "I don't hit exactly hit hard on the fists, so give up on the stupid weapon crossings and try me close!"
[The following grab attack was granted by Nathan]
He said it's just 'stupid weapon crossings' since he is confident he can parry the staff hit for hit. He's not wrong for now, but he needs to deal damage, and swinging isn't exactly great against stabbing in a range. As he swung his hammer into the tip and got some recoil so serious that it damaged his aura, he ran straight for Nathan again and broke out his semblance-three spikes spontaneously emerged from his aura, two for the eyes and one on the throat, while holding the hammer with another aura tube and having the head sliding to have the staff trapped in the right angle between the head and the handle-barrel again. Hopefully taking advantage of his instinctive eye-closing, Catalina got a grip again on Nathan's wrist, this time with both hands. Take that! came crashing down using the momentum at the same time and just before it hit his own hand, the hand covering his wrist moved revealing the his own repulsion crystal excited by the current! And the well timed hammerhead hit the crystal right at that time, making a point blank shock on Nathan's wrist artery. Which is protected by the aura thankfully, otherwise the hydrostatic shock is going to do some long term damage.
Surely the shock is going to make him drop the huge staff! Or so he thinks. He just hoped his opponent don't pull of something so good that it makes him on the receiving end of a 'rules of nature' moment.
(Sorry for the writing style, but none of them are autohits, obviously)
[Aura at 82%]
[Spikes each hits for 4%, but they're mostly a distraction. The Take that! is 8%, and the crystal probably clocks in at 10% at most, and did 7% to Catalina himself.]

Nathan used the hit on Ergia to bring it close to him again without using any of his own energy. Right. He wanted hurt? He'd get it. Nathan ducked as the guy ran at him with friggin' spikes on his face, but then two hands were on one of his wrists and he was sorta powerless to wring himself free - lest he use his semblance, but he wasn't at the end yet and therefore preferred to keep it nice and warm in his pocket. The hammer hit hard, but he remembered to use the pain as an incentive to tighten his grip, not let go, and so kept going. The fact that his hand was grabbing at the staff with all its might because Spike Face had electrocuted it also helped quite a lot.

And after all that, he was still up close and personal with his opponent, a bright orange glow lighting both their faces. Nathan saw the mistake. And put it to use.

Keeping himself within his enemy's grasp, he retaliated by simply pressing Ergia into the guy's thigh. And holding it there.

(Ergia held against Cat: Roughly 20% Aura damage per second, based on the previous fight with Gray where the guy held it for what seems like roughly half a second and took 10% Aura damage)
(Aura: 61%)

As soon as Cata felt the wrist moved he knew both that he fucked up and what's going on as a consequence. Scrambling to roll he still got hit right on the back and turned to get up behind Nathan. Trying to make him take exactly what he dealt, he reached and tried to lock his staff with his hammer from the back and pressed onto the opponent in front of him. Then a lightheaded feeling came and he knows this is from that move with his semblance but luckily he just has to held his position and can easily recover. He also glanced back to make sure the closest dust patch probably isn't possible for him to be knocked on and delivered a knee to back of Nathan's thigh.
[Aura at 72% and going down]
[The knee is 5%, the lock is 4% per second to Catalina and the 20% to Nathan if came into contact.]

Ooooof course the guy squirmed away. Nathan wasn't too worried about it, though. The longer this lasted, the more he knew his opponent.

Right when the guy broke contact and made for a quick getaway roll, Nathan stepped slightly away from him to give himself more breathing room. Carefully studying how his opponent moved, he saw him start to get back up and, as a feint, Nathan ducked into a ball and quickly swiped Ergia at Catalina's legs, evading the hammer that went at empty air above him. As he was stepping back from the blow, getting ready to deal with whatever was thrown his way again, a knee surged towards him - luckily, since he hit with his staff, the blow didn't reach him.

Okay, screw this I'm outta here. Unable to deal out anything advantageous against the overwhelming Ergia, this has to be the only choice. Skipping just over the heat staff of death with one leg still in the air,, Catalina ran for the nearest cover before his opponent can turn and notice. Okay. What to do?
Did something: ShowHide
Firstly the burnt back hurt like hell, Good news is I can deal with that. Now to rearm. What to do to not get melted by the heat? WITH HEAT! Pouring a split of fire dust into his aura and Take that! in a ratio of 3:1, the heat damage should be neatly neglected thanks to the second law of thermodynamics. He knows this is the estimated maximum concentration of dust in his regular surface area aura field. The other parts of the capacity of the hammer was filled with air dust. The cartridge was loaded with 2 healing rounds, then 15 explosive rounds, then shock-explosive-shock alternated for the rest.

Loaded and maybe ready, Catalina peeked for a chance to strike or shoot again.
[Aura still 72% because the cause of damage didn't came into contact.]

Slippery git. The guy had actually jumped over him and was in the process of running for cover. Knowing fully that going behind cover = ranged option, Nathan ran the opposite way, Ergia turning into assault rifle form on the way. He slid just on the side of the plateau, managing to get a grip with his feet right before his shoulders went past the edge and readied Ergia. This was a really, really good firing position, and the other guy would need to make himself vulnerable to get a hit in.

Taking aim at the random boulder behind which his opponent was hiding, he readied himself to pull the trigger as soon as the boy would peek out in any way. Speaking of which, he was in the process of doing. How neat!

A brief hail of tungsten was sent on its merry way.

Great. A one person version of trench warfare. At least this cover is something, so he had to aim under fire.
Whatever.
The cover did it's job fairly well, as only 2 bounce-offs and one direct hit impacted Catalina over the course of 5 seconds taking aim, and pull the trigger twice. A shock round and explosive round flew to their target, in that order. With Nathan being so close to the edge as he vaguely saw, he wondered if he's lucky enough to shoot his opponent off the cliff.

Nathan had been pulling the trigger in small bursts - no point in full auto, precision was the name of the game here - for a few seconds when a small ball of electrical sparks exploded in front of him, making him reflexively bend down a bit. He wasn't able to manage a lot of bending down due to his position, but enough to get his head out of sight. Another round zoomed past Ergia while he was going down.

Dammit, this wasn't going to work. While he was pretty certain he had the  overall advantage endurance-wise, he would greatly prefer to not have to stretch the damn thing out. But what could he use? LR crystals were still in development as well as massive overkill, and he hadn't brought any -

Oh. Oooooooooooh. Of course.

Acting fast, he grabbed hold of the bright, hand-sized kinetic Dust crystal that jutted out of the cliff/slope to his right and yanked it out of its socket. Man, that thing was heavy. He quickly threw it over his head in the general direction of Catalina's cover, overshooting a bit to make sure it'd reach him, then popped back out, aimed and fired at the pirouetting chunk of volatile material.

(Dust crystal detonation: 15% Aura damage plus possible knockback, may not detonate in mid-air if slugs fail to hit it)
