Elasaid Hood (359) has posed:
Elasaid strides into the 'arena' marked area. Hands in her pockets as she looks around at the large rocky spires. The speakers strewn around the area come to life as she comes into the camera view. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=baGElGK6JYM). THe crowd give off a roar as the woman comes to a stop, standing out in the open.

A hand is lifted and a wave given to the viewers, before it returns to the pocket. Deep green eyes return to scanning for her opponent. She's an old soldier, she can wait a little longer, it seems.

Karian Icefang has posed:
Not too long after Hood's arrival, Karian makes his own grand enterance. Mounted atop his thunderwolf, he scans over the arena and his opponent. Raising a hand, a chorus of cheers echo out.
He dismounts the wolf, sending it off to the sides. He offers a not towards his opponent, ready to get things going.

Alexandra Knox (275) has posed:
Lex is sitting in the commentator's booth, floating above the canyon. She raises her voice, which is carried over the entire canyon through speaker amplification, and the entire multiverse by video broadcast. "Welcome to another match of the World Martial Arts Tournament, Bracket B, in the Gizard Wasteland. To my left, mysterious but powerful, the MIGHTY HOOD! To my right, the wolf-riding space wolf, fighting for the glory of his God-Emperor, it is KARIAN!" She takes breath, "For those at home, follow this match on your radio, television, holoprojector, crystal ball, scrying pool, or whatever you prefer by tuning in to multiverse frequency 900.4 that is nine zero zero dot four."

Elasaid Hood (359) has posed:
Elasaid nods back to Karian. "Whatever the outcome. I'll take ye out fer a drink afterward. Fair?" she asks, raising her voice over the din of the crowd to be heard. In the next breath, her hands are out of her pockets, and she's being bathed in a brilliant blue-white light. "The Mighty Hood sails forth On Favorable Winds. Ventis Secundis!"

When the light fades, the ominous glint of battleship metal can be seen in the sunlight. "All crew. Battlestations." she says softly to herself, making the large turrets on her back twitch to life, traversing to face Karian. "Main battery, prepare for bracket fire. Interval of 2. FIRE!"

The eight barrels fire off in sequence, filling the arena with smoke, fire, and the heavy thudding reports of the scaled down 15inch cannons.

Karian Icefang has posed:
"Sounds fair to me." Karian says, before the shelling began. He was hurt by all of it, but then he was built to take a beating. He draws his bolter, takes aim, and lets fly the massive .75 shells. If this was a battle of guns, he knew he would likely need to get in close at some point.

Alexandra Knox (275) has posed:
"The battle has begun!" Lex is not reigning in her enthusiasm to see others fight, trying to look at all the camera feeds at once, "The Mighty Hood sends out an opening volley of her main battery. Karian doesn't even try to move away, taking the shelling to his face. He's drawing a large firearm, and pressing the trigger..."

Elasaid Hood (359) has posed:
Elasaid is ready for the counter, her Barrier Armour flaring to brilliant life between her and the Space Marine. Those Bolts were meant to penetrate thick armour, though, and she finds they work just as well on magical shielding. The first few splash against the pillar of light, but then, they start to break through, showering her with hot shrapnel.

<Damage Control Team to Deck three. Fire.>
<Bilge Pumps to full, we have a hull breach below the waterline!>
<Torpedo tubes ready. Main battery reloading.>

"Ahead Full, bring us about, bearing 2-7-0." as she speaks, she begins to move, running quickly to the left as the turrets grind and clank as they reload. She's moving closer, but trying to make it hard for her foe to keep her under constant fire.

The shield shows cracks and has a few breaks in it, as it shifts back to passive mode, though she's now showing a fresh side while the damaged section slowly seals back up. "FIRE ONE! FIRE TWO!" she calls, holding her right arm out towards Karian. Two hatches spring open, and a pair of ripples surge out, invisible, but slow moving magical projectiles.

Karian Icefang has posed:
Karian smirks softly as he spies his bolts punching through the strange shield. He takes off running as the unseen blasts come his way, some debris hitting him. Opting to make a risky move, he draws his famous power sword. As it comes free of it's sheath, lightning crackles across the blade. He turns on a dime and runs right for hood, a neat little slash aimed at her. Nowhere serious or anywhere near those strange but powerful weapons either.

Alexandra Knox (275) has posed:
Lex gasps loudly as the magical shielding is pierced, "That massive bullet punched its way through the Mighty Hood's magical defenses, it looks like that hurt. The Mighty Hood doesn't slow down, and she is firing /something/! Can I get a replay of that?" The replay shows nothing coming out of the hatches in the Mighty Hood's arms, "It looks like she fired nothing!"

Alexandra Knox (275) has posed:
Lex stares intently at the camera, "It must have been an invisible attack, but Karian isn't fooled. Some debris flies up where he dodges, and that's all that lands on his impressive looking armor. He slashes, is that blade electrified?!"

Elasaid Hood (359) has posed:
"BRACE!" she comes to a sudden stop, and activates her Active barrier again. Unfortunately it doesn't shift in time, and that sword passes right through where the barrier is about to appear, smashing into the upraised bracer on the woman's forearm. The equipment seems to be heavy duty enough, but that power-weapon has left a wonderful looking dent and slash mark in the outer shell.

<Damage to starboard torpedo bank. We're repairing it but it's offline for now!>
<Enemy ship too close! Main battery can't depress enough to hit them!>
<Switching to secondary battery!>

Elasaid struggles against that sword for a moment, green eyes locked on the much larger Space Marine. Then all of the smaller weapons strewn about her bodyarmour swivel into place. Machineguns and High Angle cannons locking onto the large man. "Full Barrage!" she calls, and the space between the pair becomes filled with smoke and magical shells and pulse-laser like fire.

Alexandra Knox (275) has posed:
Lex keeps doing her blow by blow commentary, "The Mighty Hood couldn't block that sword in time, a direct hit! The armor is deeply dented, but this is far from the end, the battle has only just begun, can she dish out what she takes? That's a lot of firepower coming at Karian from close range right now!"

Karian Icefang has posed:
Karian definately wasn't expecting that one. His armor manages to hold, but it dented and singed to hell and back. He does back off though, taking a moment to think. "Right...Lots of guns. I'd almost think you were some kind of new model of Titan." He says in compliment. Of course, he wasn't about to stop his melee assault. He goes in again, but this time feints into a strike for the legs.

Alexandra Knox (275) has posed:
"The space wolf's armor takes a beating, he didn't see this coming!" Lex announces from the tip of her seat, "He's swinging his sword again, but this looks some fancier maneuvering!"

Elasaid Hood (359) has posed:
Elasaid is ready this time, her Barrier Armour flaring brilliantly and stopping that swipe dead, though the sheer force makes the field crack with spiderweb lines.

<We're caught at close range, unable to break away Captain.>
<Rigging for Ramming Speed!>

The Fleet Maiden brings her left arm back, a solid CLANK resounding from the mechanism in the armbracer. A flash of white-blue light, and a large Anchor has appeared on the bracer. "RAMMING SPEED! ANCHOR SHOT!" she calls, a gunshot firing off as she surges that arm forwards, straight for Karian's center of mass!

Alexandra Knox (275) has posed:
Alexandra Knox says, "Blocked! The Mighty Hood saw through the feint, but she's still at close range. She can't get away, and if stuck at close range, why not ram? Karian will have to act fast if he wants to dodge this!"

Karian Icefang has posed:
Karian, being a master of melee combat, saw the surging arm and dodged to the side. He also moved to grab the arm and flip Hood over and into the ground.

Alexandra Knox (275) has posed:
Alexandra Knox says, "And he does! Karian steps to the side, in time to turn this attack /against/ the Mighty Hood. He's moving to throw his opponent, and the canyon's ground is hard!"

Elasaid Hood (359) has posed:
Elasaid is a hard woman to topple.. but with her off balance, and with all that momentum working against her, she's tossed over and onto the ground. It's a good thing this isn't on water, or she'd be in big trouble. As it is, however, she's battered and bruised, rolling over to get back up again.

<Damage Control Teams to Deck Seven, hull breach! We've got multiple breaches across multiple decks. Fire in #2 Magazine!>
<Port torpedo bay loaded and ready!>

Elasaid then brings up her left arm again, the Anchor dematerializing as the ports open up. "FIRE THREE! FIRE FOUR!" looks like she's got more than just the two of those things, whatever they are!

Alexandra Knox (275) has posed:
Alexandra Knox says, "A hard crash to the rocky ground, but the Mighty Hood recovers! She fires again, I can't see anything come out, but I trust number three and four are a lot like one and two!"

Karian Icefang has posed:
Karian spots the ports opening and was already in motion. He was NOT about to get hit by that. Once he dodged, he ran towards Hood to deliver a missile of his own.....the dropkick kind.

Alexandra Knox (275) has posed:
Alexandra Knox says, "And Karian isn't caught off-guard this time either, he runs, he jumps, that's a DIIIIVE KICK!"

Elasaid Hood (359) has posed:
Elasaid goes wide eyed as the seven foot tall mountain of man and metal moves momentously. She brings up her arms, crossing them before her as her Shield goes active... only to have the field shatter like glass, and her guard rammed into her chest, sending her skidding backwards along the arena floor.

She's grinning, though. That grin is the grin that could devour the universe, as her main battery swivel into position again.
<Firing solution acquired!>

"All guns, prepare for a full barrage. Load HVAP Shells. Engage Bracket Fire, interval 2, 3, 5. FIRE!" And fire they do. Main battery roar eight times, the secondary and tertiary batteries report and chatter away as well.

Karian Icefang has posed:
Karian takes the impact to the face, counting himself lucky he heals faster then the average person. Still, he skidded back a good distance. "Not bad..." He says softly. But once more, he was off and running. Clearly the Imperium made some durable warriors. Once more he moved to charge, this time pouring all his force and momentum into a shoulder charge and tackle.

Alexandra Knox (275) has posed:
Alexandra Knox says, "Straight through her shields, the Mighty Hood gets thrown backwards by the impact, but it's not over, there's plenty of fight left in her, in fact, that's a lot of guns firing right now!"

Alexandra Knox (275) has posed:
Alexandra Knox says, "HEADSHOT! Karian takes all that firepower to the face, and he immediately closes the distance again, a full-on shoulder tackle!"

Elasaid Hood (359) has posed:
Elasaid grunts, but still refuses to fall as she's slammed into by the huge man. Her feet dig into the ground, trying to find purchase, gradually slowing that charge down to a standstill. "You fight well. You do your people proud... but this is far from over." she says in a prim English accent, setting her feet, and lifts the Space Marine over her head to return the favour from earlier. Whether or not that's successful, her smaller guns are firing into his ceremite armour, constantly chattering away like a thousand angry souls.

Alexandra Knox (275) has posed:
Alexandra Knox says, "Karian slams straight into the Mighty Hood. She is shoved back, the ground shaking under the impact of that blow, but she doesn't allow herself too fall, and she picks up the far larger space marine. Her guns open fire as she throws Karian, is there anything' he can do about this?"

Karian Icefang has posed:
KArian felt himself being lifted up, something he still wasn't used to having anyone do, let alone a woman. He takes a moment to get up, the battle starting to take it's toll on him. Still, he had a classic move he was waiting to unleash. Sheathing his sword, he built up to a full run. As he drew close, he clenched his fist and with the force that only a space marine could muster, aimed his fist in an uppercut towards Hood's chin. It was a move he used to full effect in most of his fist fights, the classic spiral uppercut.

Alexandra Knox (275) has posed:
Alexandra Knox says, "He can't do anything but take it, and take it he does! Karian gets up, that huge impact is not enough to take him out, and he moves into a rising uppercut!"

Elasaid Hood (359) has posed:
Elasaid can't defend against that. Her armour is broken, and she takes that hit on the chin, being lifted off her feet and thrown back by the force. She hits the ground, hard, backpack shattering and the turrets falling off as she comes to rest against a rocky spire. "I yield... the day is yours." she calls out, remaining where she is.

Karian Icefang has posed:
Karian walks over and offers his hand to Hood. "Well fought. I can't remember the last time I got so beat down. A bit longer and we may have had a draw. Now, let's find a bar." He says, his grin warm and perhaps a bit scary with those fangs appearing.

Alexandra Knox (275) has posed:
Alexandra Knox jumps up, full of excitement. "The rising uppercut has proven that the Mighty Hood is not mighty enough today. She yields, giving Space Wolf Karian the victory! Congratulations! In a show of sportsmanship, he helps the loser up, he knows it was a close match! Can we get a replay of that rising upper?" The video feeds across the stadium show a close-up of Karian's fist hitting the Mighty Hood's chin, "That must have hurt!"
