Takamachi Nanoha (381) has posed:
It's a pretty dramatic encounter, all told! The match is to be held on the YUNZABIT HEIGHTS, which places Nanoha atop a tall pillar-like plateau instead of facing down her opponent in the ring. She lands there lightly, planting Raising Heart's butt end in the ground while she waits, with her white Barrier Jacket fluttering gently in the breeze. She looks around with a little nervous fidget, then nods firmly.

"Takamachi Nanoha, ready for match!" She calls out, trying to be friendly. "Ah... may the best fighter win, and do your best!"

Neuroi Girl has posed:
As Good Nanoha waits, there is a twinkle in the distance, then a small black speck can be seen moving toward her at a rather high rate of speed. As it closes in, its form becomes obvious as that of Evangeline, the Neuroi Girl. She flies right up to Nanoha, then comes to a stop and just sits there, hovering in mid air, 'staring' at the young mage.

Of course, with no facial features, staring might not be the right word. Which probably just makes her gaze even more creepy. "...You are...Good Nanoha...but you are a confederate...so you being good seems unlikely..." she says in her soft, mostly monotone voice which comes from a red watch on her wrist rather than her face.

Evangeline is quiet a few moments, then she turns to fly a short distance away. "...good luck..." she says as she goes. She is not wearing the other things she usually wears for fear they might get damaged.

Testarossa Fate (401) has posed:
Fate is not here watching the fight because there's no place to actually watch it from in the Yunzabit Heights.

The young blonde is back at the stadium in a viewing room, looking incredibly uncomfortable surrounded by other people.

[SIR. IT STARTS.]

"Excuse me..."

Someone slides in her way and blocks her view.

"Ah... Um. I... Can't see."

No response.

"Um..."

[-MOVE-.]

Bardiche buzzes, causing a small cone of people to get out of her line of sight to the screen.

"... Thank you."

Kotone Yamakawa has posed:
Kotone Yamakawa says "Good day ladies, gentlemen and self-aware beings of all types! I'm Kotone Yamakawa and we're coming here live from the Yunzabit Heights for you today with quite the match-up today! Good Nanoha against Evangeline the strike witch from another world! This looks like this is going to be a heck of a fight today and we got quite the battle field for you here in the Yunzabit Heights this desolate location is the perfect spot for our combatants to just cut lose and give us a hell of a fight!" Tune in at 900.7

Kirikou (127) has posed:
Always good to take in a fight. While Kirikou's normally a fan of brawls rather than beamspam, this fight's somewhat special. For one, it involves someone he found vaguely intruiging. One of the girls who's an alternate self of a Union soldier. For another, well, he's got a bet riding on the outcome.
Of course he's got the Twins with him like always. No doubt they'll get a kick out of any fireworks the combatants may produce. So will Kirikou, admittedly, he's just got more dignity. He's watching from the shelter of a nice crowd back in the Stadium's main area. If he can't watch the show live, at least he'll watch it with a big obnoxiously cheering crowd!

Toph Beifong (20) has posed:
While it would have been more useful for a blind girl who sees through the earth to actually be present at the area where the people are fighting, Toph Beifong literally saw no reason to whine about it. Instead she did the next best thing.
She bullied somebody into being her own personal commentator for her to ensure she doesn't miss her friend's fight.
"Gloves! Can you get a good look at the monitor from there?" Yes, the earthbender is loud as she makes her way over to Kilik and his two demon weapons, and she's armed with a large bucket of popcorn as well as a drink for herself. Once she is next to the Confederate she parks her ass in the seat next to his, throwing her legs up and gets comfy. "Because I tell you, if you miss a single cool detail..." The threat should be clear as she sets her drink down and shakes a warning fist at him.

Takamachi Nanoha (381) has posed:
"Eheh..." Nanoha rubs her head and looks on, nervously, at the greeting from the strange creature. It's like a flying lost logia! "People have told me that, but they've helped me and been kind to me, and they don't tell me I'm wrong for wanting to save my friend's life. Is that evil?" She shrugs. She's not here for a moral debate about factions, really.

Indeed, she floats up into the air, lowering her Device into a ready stance in midair. "Ah, normally I'd offer to talk but um... this is a match! So just don't worry, I'm only going to be using stun moves!"

'DIVINE SHOOTER'

She opens up with a brief flurry of closely-clustered pink spheres, streaking toward her opponent at high speed before she jinks to the side to try to avoid any retaliation.

Neuroi Girl has posed:
Evangeline floats there as those pink spheres fly toward her. They pepper her, or more accurately her shield. Blue barely visible hexagons of energy stop the hits from actually impacting her body, but the blows do push her back a bit. "...it is not evil to want to save a friend..." Evangeline agrees as she raises one of her sleeve-like arms.

Red energy builds at the tip of it, then a solid beam of that energy lances out at Nanoha. "...I will try not to hurt you as well..." the little Neuroi says in her soft voice. With the winds out here, it may not even be heard. That beam, if it hits, would cause a small explosion on impact.

Kotone Yamakawa has posed:
Kotone Yamakawa says "Here we go Nonoha and Evangeline are shooting their sporting spirit today as they meet up with each other. Looks like Nanoha doesn't want to bring political issues into the tournament and I commend her for it! They have no place here in what is just a test of martial skill and cunning today! She goes in opening up with an energy blast of some sort and Evangeline is counting back with some sort of beam of her own! With all the blasts flying around already it seems these two ladies are already at home here!"

Takamachi Nanoha (381) has posed:
The explosion engulfs Nanoha! Only, when it clears, she's just a little singed, the Barrier flickering out of existence after her block. "Ah, she can do the same? Another mage?" Still getting used to the Multiverse, it seems, but she has read up on things. She'll get the hang of it! Right now she's getting into evasive action, bolting up and to the side, then streaking around one of the mountainous plateaus.

When the little redhead rounds the corner, it's with a handful of little homing shots zipping to either side and streaking toward the Neuroi, popping into blasts of pink energy that batter and buffet while she weaves between plateaus for cover. "Ah, if only Vesta were here..."

Kirikou (127) has posed:
Kilik snorts at the discussion before responding to Toph. "Anything the commentator leaves out, I'll let you know." he promises. "Right now the Union ... girl? Thing? She's saying she doesn't think anyone from the Feds can be good. Clearly I'm cheering for the right person!" he grins. Of course he doesn't NEED to describe this to Toph. She can HEAR just fine. He's just saying it to rib her. "Right now they're shooting at each other with magic. I'm sure if someone gets badly hurt you'll hear it."

Toph Beifong (20) has posed:
"Clearly she is right," Toph says as she stuffs her mouth with popcorn, offering the bucket over to Fire and Thunder before she holds it out to Kilik. "You are an ass after all. Popcorn?" Laser beams, huh? That's not something she can see. "And maybe. Evangeline /is/ rather quiet. And I don't really know the other girl that much." Seriously though, not all Feds are all that bad. Wanting to save somebody is seldom a bad motivation for doing things as long as you're not doing horrible things to save said person, right? "Are they flying now?" she asks, listening to the cues of the other people around them, just to try and gauge what's happening in the fight based on their reactions.

Neuroi Girl has posed:
It may only be a handful, but Good Nanoha has quite a punch it seems. Evangeline is buffeted again. Even with her shield she goes spiraling down a moment before righting herself. "...strong..." she says softly before she raises both arms. The red glow from before returns, but this time, several smaller beams fire, and...it seems they are somewhat homing. The beams vector around the rocks and spires while Evangeline continues to float there in the same spot.

It is only after her attack that Evangeline starts to move. She accelerates quickly and starts to weave between the steppes, firing another small beam whenever there is a clear opening.

Kirikou (127) has posed:
"Yeah, they're flying." says Kilik. "Quick, too." he adds thoughtfully. No doubt running thoughts through his head about how he might, if required, fight one or the other.

He shrugs though, and accepts some popcorn. "Jerky?" he offers in return, holding out a small pack. While the twins shake bags of small rainbow-smelling soft-shell candies.

Kotone Yamakawa has posed:
Kotone Yamakawa Says "This two flying valkyries are alreayd going at it and the blsta are flying rapidly already! They however just seem to be getting warmed up today. Who knows how this is going to go before all is said and done!"

Takamachi Nanoha (381) has posed:
Nanoha's barrier flares to life again, catching the vectoring beams but driving her back a little. "Ah!" She tumbles, then rights herself to start skimming along the side of a plateau... but several of the smaller strikes pepper the side, kicking up dust and some of them hitting her, staggering her in midair with a wince of pain.

'HOMING SHOOTER,' Raising Heart pings before sending a zipping blast toward Evangeline, just as Nanoha brakes and rockets upward into the clearer sky. Isn't that a bad tactical move? She must be up to something.

Toph Beifong (20) has posed:
"Seriously, what's with people and flying?" she asks, reaching out to grab some jerky. Because popcorn and jerky is a winning combination. "Just lemmie chew and swallow this stuff first, kids," Toph responds to the twins. "Sounds like that hurt for your friend there."

Neuroi Girl has posed:
Evangeline bobs and weaves and spirals through the air to avoid the homing attack. She manages to get it to hit a rock, which showers her with debris but leaves her mostly unharmed. Then, she spirals upward to follow Nanoha. Whatever Nanoha is up to, it doesn't seem to concern the little Neuroi. She raises her arms up again as she follows, and again that red energy builds, but this time in a solid beam that the Neuroi Girl sweeps across the sky in Nanoha's direction. Were they facing the ground, this would result in an explosion along the line the beam would cut into the ground.

But, in the air, it is a much less awesome explosion, as it only causes one if it hits Nanoha. After firing the beam, Evangeline breaks off to try and keep Nanoha from getting a good bead on her.

Kirikou (127) has posed:
"She's fine." Kirikou says dismissively. Nanoha's not his friend really. They've never actually met or anything... but she seems to be showing a kindness he can appreciate. Not to mention the spirit of a competitor. He can't really tell who's winning because he can't be sure he's judging the reactions of Evangeline accurately. He wants to believe Nanoha's winning, but that's as much wishful thinking as proper judgment.

"Good thing that Union girl can't hit as hard as you can, dirtbender!" he says. Not that he's sure of THAT either. It just seems like the right thing to say. He doesn't really know the competitors after all... just his blind little companion.

Kotone Yamakawa has posed:
Kotone Yamakawa Says "They are still going at it and they are moving so fast it looks like even with their skills they are having a hard time keeping a bead on eachother. The shot don't stop, and neither do these ladies!"

Takamachi Nanoha (381) has posed:
The beam hits a barrier again as Nanoha summons a rounded shield, but this time the explosion shatters it, sending her tumbling. "AH!" Fortunately it blunted the worst of the blow, but it still leaves her singed and bruised, flinching as she rights herself with those little pink ankle wings.

In the meantime, though, Raising Heart is just emitting little globes of pink, which are now orbiting Nanoha by the half-dozen. The young girl is also humming... humming a soft melody which has the globes dancing about her to the tune, before she interrupts it with a soft, "Shoot!"

One of those globes breaks away and zips toward Evangeline, but the other five just orbit faster, in tune with the melody she resumes humming.

Toph Beifong (20) has posed:
It does seem like a rather civil fight indeed, as the two of them were kinda... non-loud at the beginning of the fight. When Kilik jokes though, Toph reaches out and punches him in the shoulder. "Don't underestimate Evangeline! Too bad she can't hear you and prove you wrong."
But she does blink and look confused. "Is... she singing?"

Neuroi Girl has posed:
That shot is well on target. It hits Evangeline's own shield, causing it to flare into view a few moments while she is pushed back. When the dust clears, Evangeline is holding the ends of her arms toward each other. The flat tips are almost touching, and red energy is starting to arc between them. Then, she slowly spreads them apart, and an orb of energy builds between them.

The energy builds for a moment more, then with fwoosh a thick beam of energy fires outward, right toward the humming Nanoha. This beam looks more powerful than those the Neuroi was using before, and is sure to do equally more damage. And as before, when it impacts something, the beam produces a strong explosion of energy.

Kirikou (127) has posed:
"Nooo, that's humming." Kilik claims, smirking. "Her little orb things are pink. That's... well, I guess it's a girly colour. And they're totally dancing in the air around her. Can't decide if it's cute or freaky."

Testarossa Fate (401) has posed:
"NANOHAAAA! C'MON! BEAT HER INTO THE GROUND!"

There is a red-haired woman with dog ears in the viewing room yelling at the screen. Three good words to describe her would be tall, busty, and busty. It does not matter that Nanoha cannot hear Arf, she still excitedly howls at the display, slurping from a cup of ramen and ignoring glowers sent her way.

Kotone Yamakawa has posed:
Kotone Yamakawa says "This high speed brawl just keeps going like a pair of old dog fighters these two are making like a beagle against a German ace here! It's hard to tell whose on top of things right now. It's a dance of death and it may just come down to who makes the first major mistake!"

Takamachi Nanoha (381) has posed:
Now it becomes much clearer why the pink globes are there, since two of them streak out to intercept Evangeline's beam! They detonate upon it, the explosion large enough that Nanoha still lets out a little yelp of pain and is tossed like a leaf in the wind, tumbling head over heels before she rights herself. by now, her Jacket is looking a little frayed and several bruises have sprouted from the relentless battering. Two more globes replace the two she fired, resuming the orbit... while a pink ring has appeared around the ruby tip of her staff.

"Ah... sorry," she apologizes politely. "Raising Heart, shoot!"

'DIVINE BUSTER.'

No more little zipping shots, this time the large beam is countered by a pillar of bright pink energy roaring down at Evangeline, the bombardment spell showing Nanoha's power once she starts to cut loose.

Neuroi Girl has posed:
Evangeline's shield flares brightly as that pillar nearly engulfs her. The little Neuroi is pushed down toward the ground by the force of the attack, and then with a sound like glass breaking...her shield collapses. This causes a rather surprised-sounding screech from the Neuroi as the beam energy hits her body directly, which in turn causes another screech, this one a pained cry that grates on the teeth.

When the pillar of energy passes, much of Evangeline's body is just...gone. Her torso is mostly intact, but her extremities are gone. And yet, the torso continues to float there a moment before a silvery glow developes on the edges of Evangeline's body where she is missing pieces. The glow starts moving outward, leaving in its wake the missing pieces. When it finishes, she is whole again.

Once she is reformed, Evangeline looks down at her wrist. The one where the red watch was before. It is gone now. She stares at the empty wrist a few moments, then her head turns toward Nanoha. The watch is probably okay, just knocked away when Evangeline partially disintegrated, but how is she to know that? With a posture that seems quite upset, Evangeline raises her arms again, then starts to fly quickly in circles around Nanoha. Beams start to fire, and like some kind of sideways storm of red lasers they rain down...across?...on Nanoha.

Kotone Yamakawa has posed:
Kotone Yamakawa says "It looks like now is where they really take the gloves off with a blast from her Divine Buster! And Evangeline is not slouhing at all as she rains down the pain in reply! These ladies have more firepower than a squad of spider tanks!"

Takamachi Nanoha (381) has posed:
And the beam hits and... oops. Nanoha makes a flailing motion. "Ah, ah! Sorry! I was trying to just stun!" She doesn't know that it's just Evangeline's main 'body' is super fragile, after all, compared to the power behind those beams. Neuroi, sigh. She'll have to tweak her beams if she wants them to do less impact damage, as she's trying to hit like a beanbag gun.

All her flailing almost makes her lose track of what's going on, and she barely manages to raise a barrier. These are coming from all directions, so her normal one won't do... she needs something in a sphere. So... 'PROTECTION POWERED!'

Even that doesn't fully help, though. The sphere shatters, and when the smoke clears, Nanoha is clutching her side and looking much more worse for wear, her Jacket showing scorches and her bruises far more evident. "Ow... Raising Heart... I think we need to try it..."

'VERY WELL, MY MASTER,' the Device pings. Then it makes a rattling noise.

'LOAD CARTRIDGE. DIVINE BULLET.'

With a sudden explosion of power, a concentrated 'bullet' of energy blasts from Nanoha's staff, streaking toward Evangeline faster than the other blasts. At the same time, she starts weaving in a much more evasive pattern.

Neuroi Girl has posed:
Nanoha's shot is well on target again, and again Evangeline's shield glows brightly. But, with so little time to recharge it, it shatters again and the shot impacts her main body again. If not for Nanoha holding back her actual deadly attacks, the Neuroi might have been actually harmed by that. As it is, the section of her torso that is hit shatters and the pieces disintegrate into a silvery powder. And for just a moment, there is a bright rose red glow where a corner of Evangeline's core peeks out.

The hit is also accompanied by another metallic screech from Evangeline. She turns to put her core out of sight until her body regenerates again even as she keeps flying around. Once her body is restored, she focuses on attack once more. She holds her arms out, and the by now familiar red energy glows from their tips. In hardly a moment's charge time, a beam rivaling the pillar of pink from earlier fires on Nanoha. And with Evangeline basically orbiting Nanoha as she fires, -something- is going to get blown up by the beam. Probably a lot of rocks.

Kotone Yamakawa has posed:
Kotone Yamakawa says, "Wait what's this? Good Nanoha has an eveven bigger fire mode on her weapon?! This is just getting into what is fiction on my world, but I'm seeing here right before my eyes and this is real and it's homing in on Evangeline again but she's giving back just about as good as she can get and wait she's actually repairing herself in real time!?!""

Takamachi Nanoha (381) has posed:
Rocks are blown up! A plateau explodes! Unfortunately, Nanoha is ALSO hit by the beam and slammed hard, her Round Shield up just in time to keep it from directly hitting her. It does, however, smack her CLEAR through one of the plateaus and out the other side in an explosion of dirt and dust, blasting her across the battlefield. "AH!"

Well, that had to hurt.

Before slamming into the ground completely, though, Nanoha recovers and skids in midair, leaving a puff of dust and dirt as she skims the ground. "Nnn... Raising Heart! SHOOT!"

'DIVINE BARRAGE,' the Device pings, and those orbiting globes suddenly all shoot up at once, spiralling and arcing in unpredictable patterns to try to blast from every angle. It's a 'softer' blast, but trying to keep Evangeline off-balance or even shoot her down, while Nanoha dives behind one of the giant plateaus.

Neuroi Girl has posed:
Evangeline manages to dodge one and nearly dodge another, but the last few of those globes slam right into her. Her shield flares again, but only a moment, then it collapses once more. The blasts from those orbs throw Evangeline toward a plateau opposite Nanoha. She smashes into it, but unlike Nanoha, her body is again broken by the impact. There is a rose-red glow again, and again it quickly goes dark as Evangeline regenerates.

Then, with an determined sounding screech, she charges at Nanoha. If se can't even defeat an opponent in a contest like this, how can she hope to keep the 501st safe and carry out her mission? As she charges, red energy builds again at the tips of her arms, but also on the panel-like wings on her legs. Evangeline fires with all she can muster in her weakened state. Beams fill the air with angry red energy that rains down heavily on and around Nanoha. The Neuroi has no names for her attacks. They are all really just variations on the same attack, after all.

Kotone Yamakawa has posed:
Kotone Yamakawa Says "They just keep going at it and they keep dailing it higher!? Where will this stop, if anything this proves you do not take a little lady lightly. No matter who or what she might be! I'm seeing living proof of this and Evengeline is giving it back in spades now with a furious chain of counter attacks!"

Takamachi Nanoha (381) has posed:
Panting, Nanoha is still readying her attack when... BEAMSPAM OUT OF EVERYWHERE. "Raising-" she starts, but doesn't finish her plea for help, the beams spattering against a very weak shield but going through it with ease, almost all of them slamming into the little girl. Her Barrier Jacket soaks up everything it can, which is why she isn't instantly defeated and instead vanishes into a vast dustcloud from plowing into the hillside again. Smoke rises from the hole... and the faint chime of something said deep within.

The pink pillar of light that erupts is wide and powerful, tearing through the mountainside with the force mustered from a cartridge and Nanoha's desperation. It is aimed, of course, at Evangeline, but also serves to let the battered, coughing girl zoom out of the hole, her Jacket smudged and torn with the bracers cracked, one of them shattered outright.

Neuroi Girl has posed:
It is sheer luck that Evangeline is not hit by the second pillar of pink when after her attack she does a flyby, bypassing the Nanoha crater and circling around again. With the same determined screech Evangeline closes in again, energy crackling at the ends of her sleeve-like arms. She chases after Nanoha when the little girl emerges from the crater, and with a stoic steeliness usually associated with machines, she keeps attacking.

This time, it actually is like an old dogfight. Evangeline tries to stay behind Nanoha as she fires beam after powerful beam of pure Neuroi energy. They are toned down from what she would usually use on an opponent (she doesn't actually want to hurt Nanoha, who has been pretty nice except for the attacking), but they are still quite strong, and probably prone to singe the little mage on a direct and explosive hit.

Kotone Yamakawa has posed:
Kotone Yamakawa Says "What is this?! Evangeline has just manage to evade the seeming wave motion gun that NAnoha has been saving for just htis moment! Still Nanoha's not down and out yet! So don't count this one over just yet folks!"

Takamachi Nanoha (381) has posed:
Nanoha is up! She's up! And now... blasts from Evangeline lance across her back, 'blasting' her down with smoke from the barrier jacket's back and sending her in a tumble. "UWAAAH!"

'ROUND SHIELD,' Raising Heart pings, but this isn't to block an attack... it's to cushion Nanoha's fall, the Intelligent Device catching her well enough that she bounces off the shield and skids to the ground, ending up on her belly. She's partly obscured by the dust cloud, making her next move a little harder to predict. All that can be heard is some coughing.

And then, singing.

"Call upon the light, gather star of the heavens..." The melody is soft and pleasant, though her voice is a bit hoarse from the dust. Otherwise it's a very nice singing voice. "Become the light that pierces, become the light that purifies..."

And as she sings, tiny pink particles swirl about, tumbling inward and gathering toward the cloud. When the dust finally settles, Nanoha is there, a giant pink ring banding around the staff in her hands. The staff has sprouted wings of pink light, spreading out in a brilliant, pretty display.

'STARLIGHT BREAKER'

"Break, SHOOT!" Nanoha ends the song with that sudden yell, and the loud clatter of cartridges loading into the chamber can be heard... before the enormous blaze of pink light fills the air, erupting from below with enough force that the plateau beneath her crumbles from the backlash.

Neuroi Girl has posed:
Evangeline is so busy trying to charge up for her own powerful attack that she is caught completely in the Starlight Breaker. There is a loud screech as the attack surrounds and engulfs her. And as the energy hits, her shield doesn't even try to respond this time. Her body starts to disintegrate from the edges inward, until finally she falls out of the beam and plummets toward the ground, her body still disintegrating.

She lands hard, and when the dust clears, there is just a beautiful red gem in the crater, about the size of a fist, with dozens of facets. It glows dimly with the red light that Nanoha saw earlier, but that is the only sign that Evangeline is not too injured. Just tired and battered.

Testarossa Fate (401) has posed:
"Nanohaaaa! WOOOOO! WAHOO! Haaahahaha Fate, she won! She won!"

"Ah...! Nan--mmhmpmhmhn!"

Fate would be cheering. Really. But Arf is doing enough cheering for the two of them. She is also busy with her head hugged tight into her squealing Familiar's chest.

[SIR CANNOT BREATHE.] Bardiche points out.

Kotone Yamakawa has posed:
Kotone Yamakawa is on the edge of her seat now watching as the match is hitting it's peak. "Oh what's this?! I was being verbose when I said she had a Wave motion gun! It seems Good Nanoha has proven me wrong as here comes the pain! Will our Strike Witch Endure? ... It looks like she's down there's just a red gem sitting in the crater don't worry she should be all right but this fight is ove the winner with a heck of a hail Mary is Good Nanoha!"

Takamachi Nanoha (381) has posed:
Seeing her opponent reduced to a RED GEM, Nanoha panics and starts to run toward the crater. "OH NO!" Unfortunately, she's a bit too tired and battered to actually GET there. Given that it's a Neuroi core, that might be for the best as she trips, stumbles, and falls flat on her fa<span class=" bold_fg_m bg_n ++ e.
