---

Shigure has posed:
    Resuppling, and refitting after the previous match went smoothly, thanks to the effects of the Shrine, and the black-haired, blue eyed destroyer girl steps through the doors as they open. She unfolds her backpack, lifting one half to the crowd on its gimbal arm, then levels her gaze on her opponent. "May you find victory on the dawn's horizon." she offers in her quiet, almost whisper voice that still manages to carry despite the volume.

    She salutes using her cannon tonfa, then levels them to unleash a volley of cannon shells at the winged DCC, starting to move and running parallel to her opponent.

Alea (6835) has posed:
    The DCC nods a bit at this, Emerald Soul giving a proper bow, "And may you find a victory in this and level up your wins! However, I'm not going down easy." Alea's spear twirls in the air before she readies herself up. "It's a good chance to see how you work, I don't think I've seen you fight before, Shigure." she lifts herself up and with a bounce, she dashes straight towards the kanmusu, batting shells out of the air, the explosions from each hit shred right into her, showing off digital marks of damage!

    Emerald Soul uses the explosions to propel herself forward and launch into a thrust, then an overhead swipe before twirling the spear and going for a horizontal slash with the blade, "Purpurascens Burst!"

Shigure has posed:
    Shigure skids to a halt as the DCC comes flying forward. She brings her tonfa up, presenting a solid wall of steel to that spear. As she feels the impact, she lets her stance go a bit and deflects it to the side, the razor wind of its passing leaving a slash mark across her cheek, leaking a black oily fluid, and a silvery slash across the armour plate on her turrets.

    "And I, you, Miss Alea." replies the Destroyer, unfolding her AA battery and letting the porcupine-like mass of needling tracer fire erupt at Alea at point blank range, machineguns and autocannons firing their tracer bullets, and smaller caliber guns lobbing some flak at Emerald Soul.

Alea (6835) has posed:
    Alea looks quite pleased with herself, at least until the AA Battery starts to send needling tracer fire towards her. Being a gamer, she jumps away quickly, taking a small bit of the fire as it rips into her, causing more marks of digital code erupting from her body. There's some blinking and she smiles, a portal opening up to her side though this one is a strange blue color instead of her normal green. "Shall we enjoy this?"

    A large pair of twisted branches shaped with a spear head at the end erupts from the summoning circle, enshrined by a blue, icy glow designed to freeze. "Freezing Sylhet Spear!" of course, this leaves the DCC quite immobile while she aims this large spear.

Shigure has posed:
    Shigure's caught unprepared as that spear is summoned. She starts to attempt a roll to the side, but takes the thing center of mass, getting slammed back into the barrier and coughing out more of that black ichor-like substance, which probably passes for 'blood'.

    She shoots the spear until it breaks, then gets back up, wiping some of her 'blood' from her mouth and leveling an angry glare at the DCC. She says nothing more, opting to let her guns talk for her, though instead of firing again, she hooks her tonfa onto her back again, and pulls torpedoes from her thigh holders. She tosses them like throwing knives that explode in impact with a smaller charge than the shells she previously fired.

Alea (6835) has posed:
    "You're strong, Shigure." Alea smiles at the kanmusu, the wooden spear breaks from the shots and detonates into splinters before dissapearing from view, "Perhaps you wouldn't mind letting me use you for a game, now would you?" there's an even brighter smile at this, "Of course, you'll get royalties!" she nods slightly only to look at the torpedoes being thrown right at her. "Oh."

    "I take this as a no then." Emerald Soul leaps up into the air, the explosions catch her and singe her back and wings, blackening them up "Kyaaa, hot hot hot hot!" Emerald Soul pouts a bit at this, "And now I have to spend time to repair them instead of playing my games."

    She twirls around in the air, a multitude of small spears launch from an invisible pocket straight towards Shigure before another larger spear follows behind to penetrate the ring of spears in one combination attack!

Shigure has posed:
    Shigure ignores the incoming spears, grabbing her tonfa again and just powering through the barrage, using her turrets as cover as much as possible, though she emerges from the spears badly torn up, her uniform torn and in some areas, completely ripped away, and many cut marks and scoring marks on her gear.

    She unhooks one of her turrets, releasing the grip then grabbing the barrel to hurl it at Alea, and fires a shot at the discarded turret to detonate it right in the DCC's face!

Alea (6835) has posed:
    And detonate it does... it catches the DCC off guard as it blows up right in her face, sending the DCC crashing down to the ground with more digital marks of pain upon her body and more, partially ruined DCC armor! "Well, you don't play around, do you? It's okay, I will though! You might like this one." she laughs as her spear twirls in front of her. "I used this on Theurgus once."

    Emerald Soul dashes in, spear at the ready before thrusting it forward and dashing right through, only to make a quick u-turn and come right back multiple times, trying to draw the kanmusu up into the air "I'll show you my ultimate spear technique!" she drops to the ground, hopefully with the kanmusu floating some before launching herself one more time up into Shigure, "Break through! Spiral Break!"

Shigure has posed:
    Seems that being a Shipgirl isn't just a title, it's a description. Shigure seems to be too heavy for the wind technique to lift off the ground, and as Alea comes hurtling in, she's ready. A flash of steel meets the spear tip, and with a hard knock from her remaining turret, sends the DCC off and away, negating all the damage she could have done to the young looking girl.

    "If you wish to discuss something, do so after the fight. I am a warship. When I fight, I fight. When I speak, I speak." she turns, leveling her turret at Alea. "And though I speak during battle, it is through my weapons that I do so." She fires a shell, letting the report carry her will with it.

Alea (6835) has posed:
    Getting knocked away from the start of her ultimate spear technique has her reeling a bit, nothing like that has ever happened before and it actually confuses the hell out of Alea. "Wait... was that one of those ninety eight percent hit rates getting whiffed by that two percent miss rate?! I /hate/ that! Stupid Alien Hunter accuracy." she makes an angry noise before Shigure's words reach her. "Ah, the silent protagonist type, at least until you actually want to say something."

    Alea nods a bit and rushes past the shell, letting it buzz her cheek, scraping it to show more code. "Well, then let my spear sing for you, I'm sure you're still well acquianted!"

Shigure has posed:
    Shigure brings her blade up to deflect the spear again, but isn't fast enough and gets impaled for her trouble. The look of shock on her face as that spear punches clean through her midriff, before turning into an almost feral snarl would likely stick with the DCC for a while. The normally placid expression of the quiet destroyer becoming one of rage.

    Shigure grabs the spear haft with one hand, releasing her cannon to do so, and pulls Alea in closer, pushing the spear through her body, letting black oil spill from the wound. "Allow me, to introduce you to my blade." she says, her eyes hidden by the fringe of her hair, a faint, eerie blue glow like flames emitting from them. "It has no name, and I have no special attacks to call out for it, but I am sure you will both be well acquainted." Shigure then starts swinging, slashing with her blade at the DCC.

Alea (6835) has posed:
    The blade clashes against spear once... and only once. It stumbles the DCC from the sheer weight of the strike and further consecutive strikes actually make her skid back further. Code spills from the wounds made by the blade and she clutches the struck area tightly, wincing in pain, dropping to her knee. "Nnngh, well... acquianted." she mutters, lifting herself up just a bit, stumbling some. "You know, you're good at what you do." she nods, "Perhaps better than I."

    "But that doesn't mean I'm going to stop until I do!" that portal opens up again, it's green this time. "Sylhet Spear!" and out comes a normal... as normal as a large spear made of intertwined tree trunks can be, spear towards the shipgirl!

Shigure has posed:
    Shigure brings her arms up, crossing her guard against the spear, and is sent flying backwards into the barrier again. She slashes at the trunk-like spear, grabbing the severed segment and hurling it back at the DCC then unslinging her turret. It's been crushed, but that doesn't stop her from unhooking it and hurling that as well, slashing through it at the same time to triger a fire within. The crushed turret detonates like a grenade after a couple of seconds.

Alea (6835) has posed:
    The combination of the severed segment of Sylhet Spear being thrown at her and the turret exploding right into her face. Nothing she could maneuver properly against and it sends her flying into the barrier, bouncing off and onto the ground where her DCC transformation expires, leaving the dressed Alea face down on the floor of the arena, her spear dropping right next to her. However, one of her hands shows a thumbs up... what it means, who knows.

Shigure has posed:
    Shigure staggers, dropping to a knee after the DCC's transformation expires, showing she's defeated. She covers her middle, staunching the flow of oil, and lifts her sword arm to the crowd.

    Standing unsteadily, the destroyer walks over to the DCC, and offers a hand, her original placid composure returned now out of combat. "You fight like a battleship. I am lucky to still be afloat." she says.

Alea (6835) has posed:
    Alea grabs the hand and slowly lifts herself up... covering herself with her other. "You would know." she mutters, "You fight like Lexicon. Strength and tenacity. You two would get along." a pause, "Maybe I should introduce you two."

    Alea winces a bit, "I think I need to go heal up and let my code recompile... this hurts..."

Shigure has posed:
    Shigure nods. "I am, briefly acquainted with Lexicon. We fought together a few times." she replies, scooping under Alea's arm and leaning against her as the pair move out of the arena.

    "So... you wanted to speak about something...?"
