WMAT C1 Fate T. Harlaown vs. Hei
Date of Scene: 26 June 2014
Location: WMAT Arena - Diablo Desert
Synopsis: WMAT Bracket C round 1: Fate T. Harlaown vs. The Black Reaper (Hei)
Cast of Characters: 118, 275, 306


Fate T. Harlaown (306) has posed:
Already in her Barrier Jacket, Fate floats down from the sky, Bardiche in hand. Rather than the twintails she's worn for well over a decade, today she's got her hair pulled into a long, thin ponytail. The Enforcer lands lightly, just a small puff of sand rising from her armored boots, and she switches her Device over to her left hand. "Black Reaper. It's a pleasure to meet you in person." The blonde gives Hei a warm smile, extending her right hand up toward him. "Let's have fun, okay?"

Hei (118) has posed:
The Black Reaper stands in the desert, face behind his mask concealing his identity. It's more of a symbol, though. As he sees Fate, he feels like he recognizes her. But the Multiverse is weird, right? "Likewise. And, at the same time, give it your all.". The Black Reaper shakes her hand, before moving backwards, and then turning back to her, to give himself distance. "May the best battler win."

Alexandra Knox (275) has posed:
Under the comfortable shade of the large mushroom cluster, Lex is exposed to several displays, each matching to a single camera. She has a microphone next to her, and a small staff of tournament employees to select shots of the fighters. Those brave enough to head into the desert to watch this fight are, with a couple exceptions, spending a lot of money for drinks. This hasn't hampered their excitement one bit. Lex is pretty excited too, and she starts talking as soon as the fighters arrive on the screens. "Welcome to another fight in the World Martial Arts Tournament, Bracket C. I'm Alexandra Knox, here to provide some insights into the battle about to unfold."

She lets the camera settle on Fate, "The first of our brave competitors today is Fate Testerossa Harlaown, a Captain of the Union and Ace of the Time-Space Administration Burea, definitely nobody to underestimate." The camera moves on to Hei, "Our other competitor is the Black Reaper, shrouded in what is no doubt intentional mystery, there is little to be said about him, maybe we can say more after the fight is over."

The camera moves out to show the desert, "This match will take place in the scorching heat of the diablo desert, and I must say I'm glad for the shade. I do not envy today's competitors. Commentary will continue on frequency 900.3 that is nine zero zero dot three, that is WMAT3." The camera switches to show her face, "But before we begin, a word from our sponsors..." After the commercial, the judge rings the bell.

Fate T. Harlaown (306) has posed:
As soon as the bell rings, Fate transfers her Device back to her right hand. "Ready, Bardiche?"

~Yes, Sir. Plasma Lancer, Get Set.~ A number of crackling yellow spheres of energy appear around Fate, hovering in a lazy circle.

"Let's test the waters. Fire!" Fate's free hand extends toward Hei, palm open, and several of the spheres elongate into arrowhead shapes and fly toward the Black Reaper.

Alexandra Knox (275) has posed:
Lex picks up her voice when the battle starts, "Harlaown doesn't wait a moment to try out her mysterious opponent's defenses, firing several magical projectiles at the Black Reaper barely after the bell has sounded!"

Hei (118) has posed:
The voice sounds familiar too. But the Black Reaper has no time to try and figure out where he remembered it from. He attempts to move out of the way for a dodge, but the arrowheads smashes straight into him, injuring him. He begins to move, rather agile, in an attempt to circle Fate.

Suddenly, the Black Reaper's hand reaches into his jacket..and then flungs outwwards, a blade on a wire flying straight at Fate at a good speed! Just a blade, though..no enchantments or the like, as he begins to spread out in an attempt to get further ground.

Alexandra Knox (275) has posed:
Lex sees the attack hit Hei, and winces. "The Black Reaper is fast but by not fast enough, Harlaown got him dead on." She oohs when she sees Hei's attack, "He throws his blade, but a closeup clearly shows a wire, that looks clever!"

Fate T. Harlaown (306) has posed:
Fate is already running toward Hei as the blade flies. A quick jerk to the side prevents it from hitting her squarely, but the edge does clip her shoulder, marring the magical defenses. ~Sir.~ "Mmm, I see it. A wire?"

Crimson eyes shift to the side as she charges in, making note of that wire... if he has those on his knives, it probably ties to his fighting style. As an All-Range Mage, though, Fate is just as comfortable up close as she is at a distance, and she closes that distance quickly to swing her Device toward Hei, the heavy axehead plummeting downward... off to his side. The feint is followed by a twirl of the poleaxe, sending the haft of the weapon at the Reaper's midsection.

Alexandra Knox (275) has posed:
"She almost dodged it!" Lex exclaims as the blade clips on Fate's shoulder, focusing on her displays, "She's closing in, swinging the head of that axe from up above!"

Hei (118) has posed:
Hei's pulling the knife back with a jerk of a hand, and is in turn moving his body as Fate swings at him. The axehead mostly misses, but managed to nick him in the side. He begins to get space..before tossing his knife and wire again, this time trying to land it in her.

"The wire's not for show.". Suddenly, a blue aura appears around Hei, as an arc of electric energy is surging from his body, through the wire, hopefully into her. Hei quickly pulls the knife back, and then attempts to slash her with it again, before another surge. He's here to show he means business with a combo!

Alexandra Knox (275) has posed:
Lex calls out, "That only barely nicked, both competitors manage to steer clear of drawing significant blood for now. But the Black Reaper's knife suddenly flashes with energy in a shocking action!" The audience cheers, though a few seem less than charmed by the pun.

Fate T. Harlaown (306) has posed:
"Glowing?" Fate only has a moment to react before the knife is in the air again, this time managing to pierce through the Barrier Jacket in Fate's upper arm. The blonde winces slightly, then... well, there's steam rising from her arm as the electricity courses through her, but she doesn't seem to react the same way as most people do when electrocuted. Crimson eyes stare straight at Hei, and she reaches up to grab the knife and pull it out of her arm. "An electricity user?" Though she doesn't show it, that definitely hurt, enough that she makes certain to block the next slash with a swift swing of her poleaxe Device. "Bardiche, let's keep it close for now."

A soft chime sounds from the yellow jewel on the axehead. ~Thunder Arm.~ Golden electricity begins to run down Fate's arm, collecting over that armored gauntlet on her left hand... and then she drives forward, swinging her fist toward Hei and discharging the magical electricity on contact!

Hei (118) has posed:
Hei attempts to barrel out of the way as he retrieves his knife again, but Fate hits him head on, knocking him back with the magical electricity, as he grimaces under his mask, falling to the ground before he rapidly gets up. Luckily..things might work in his advantage, now that it's close combat.

Hei puts the dagger back in the trenchcoat..and dashes at Fate, moving in towards her right side. His left arm attempts to grapple her arm, whilst his right fist slams for her side. Once contact is made, he surges electricity through both limbs, and after the aftermath, if possible, is rolling away to give himself space.

Alexandra Knox (275) has posed:
Lex's enthusiasm rises as she see this development, and she is not alone the audience cheering loudly, "The audience thunders with approval for this electrical match!" She yells out, "The Black Reaper is given a taste of his own medicine, but that doesn't dissuade him from giving back with lightning speed!"

Fate T. Harlaown (306) has posed:
A soft chime sounds from the axehead as Hei approaches, but he's quite fast... and Fate is held in place as he grabs her arm. She lets out a huff of breath as his fist collides with her side and grits her teeth as more electricity runs through her body. "Nnng..." Pivoting in place, Fate shifts her grip on the Device. "Bardi<span class=" bold_fg_y bg_n ++ he."

~chy">Haken Form.</span>~

The axehead swings back, and a long, curved blade of crackling golden energy extends from one side. A smaller series of blades sprouts from the other, and a poleaxe has become a large scythe. Fate darts forward, the sand beneath her boots puffing up with every footfall, and swings the scythe toward Hei. "Hyaaa!"

~Haken Slash~

Alexandra Knox (275) has posed:
Lex winces at the hit, "That can't have been pleasant, Harlaown takes these electrified punches right on. She manages to turn her axe into a scythe, swinging it with extreme prejudice, can she reap victory with such a move?"

Hei (118) has posed:
Hei's ready for her when she comes, dodging to the side. This doesn't stop the scythe from cutting through his jacket and finally drawing blood in the battle, but it's a very light wound. And now, the battle's about to step up. Hei's moving in to smash her side with a fist..whilst his other hand draws the blade, Hei going to stab it into her other side if possible. If contact is made, he begins to alternate between generating electricity per side, and once he's done, he's moving back again. Enter and escape is his best manuever at this time!

Alexandra Knox (275) has posed:
The crowd seems to be split, half of it cheering for the Black Reaper, half wincing for Fate. Lex, for her part, does not favor either, "The Black Reaper's speed allows for little more than a scratch from that swing, and he's immediately moving for a counterattack, his lightning speed lending itself well to these shocking strikes!"

Fate T. Harlaown (306) has posed:
The first strike hits her side again, though a quick spin manages to bring Fate clear of getting outright stabbed by the knife. It still nicks her side, slicing through the fabric of her Barrier Jacket and drawing a trickle of blood. The electricity course through her, however, and steam rises from her body as she fights to control it. "Bardi<span class=" bold_fg_y bg_n ++ he..."

~chy">Cartridge Load.</span>~ The cowling below the yellow gem on the Device slides back, revealing a revolver cylinder. It spins once, and a single shell is locked into place. KACHUNK! The cowling snaps shut again, releasing a hiss of steam, and Fate leaps backwards. ~Plasma Lancer.~ This time, half a dozen of the yellow spheres appear in the air around her.

"Phalanx Shift." A trio of magic circles form in the air around Fate, and another three appear near Hei... one behind him, one above, and one to the side. Three more, on opposite sides from the first, come into being, and the blonde calls out, "Fire!"

One by one, the balls of energy fly toward her own magic circles, then reappear randomly at one of the circles near Hei, flying out at high speeds and exploding on impact.

Alexandra Knox (275) has posed:
Lex watches intently, "Harlaown manages to avoid the worst, but that did still not look pretty. Her response is certainly flashy, several magical circles throwing energy balls around unpredictably!"

Hei (118) has posed:
After the Black Reaper gets away, Fate's counterattacking with yellow spheres. He attempts to move away, but they begin firing at him! The first one explodes on the ground near him, injuring his leg, but the second is the most drastic, exploding in his face and knocking him back. When the explosion's gone, his mask is completely shattered, and his face is cut, revealing Hei behind the mask! But, this only furthers his determination. He slides around a few more balls, before several hit him in the torso, knocking him to the ground. After he's realigned himself...

He's dashing away from Fate? And through the desert? No, he's circling her! Hei attempts to get behind her, before charging forward, attempting to toss his wire around her neck with one hand, and hit her in the back with the other. If it succeeds, he surges a large amount of electricity between both the wire and his fist, before quickly pulling the wire and attempting to escape!

Alexandra Knox (275) has posed:
The audience collectively gasps, as does Lex. She keeps talking about the match "The Black Reaper doesn't know how to deal with that, he gets hit hard and runs, but wait, he's coming back from another angle, throwing those electric wires around!"

Fate T. Harlaown (306) has posed:
This time, Fate sees the knife coming. She spins quickly, lifting her armored gaintlet to intercept the knife. Instead of her neck, it's her left forearm the wire spins around, but she holds it firm. "Not this time..." The blonde pivots back as Hei charges in, taking the punch on her arm rather than her body. The electricity still runs through her, even more so since the wire is wrapped around a metal gauntlet, but she grits her teeth and stands firm.

"I'm sorry about your mask..." Fate gives Hei a brief nod before yanking on the wire, hopefully before he can pull it back. "But holding back in this sort of fight would be unsportsmanlike."

~Sonic Move.~

And then, Fate is no longer there, though the clouds of sand and the furrow left on the ground definitely shows her movement. Unless Hei manages to get that wire free, Fate tries to drag him along at supersonic speeds, then swings her arm up to slam him toward the ground as she suddenly stops!

Alexandra Knox (275) has posed:
The crowd explodes with enthusiasm as the fight keeps getting more intense, Lex cannot properly contain her enthusiasm, "Harlaown has shattered the Black Reaper's mask, and is accepts the electricity, using the chance to drag the Reaper along with her in a high speed flight!"

Hei (118) has posed:
"It's fine.". Hei replies..as suddenly, he's yanked away! He can't break out of the wire, and Fate can easily smash him into the ground, where he seems to remain docile...

Until the blue aura returns, and Hei's showing just how strong he can be. Another burst begins to surge through the wire, but this isn't like before, more akin to a lightning storm! The blast charges through the wire, and unless Fate herself can get rid of it? It's going to strike!

Alexandra Knox (275) has posed:
Lex winces at the crash, "The Black Reaper hits the ground hard. That's not a pleasant experience." The crowd oohs in surprise at the extreme amount of lightning on display, "But the Black Reaper does not allow Harlaown to reap his thunder, a lot of electricity is thrown towards the TSAB Ace!"

Fate T. Harlaown (306) has posed:
Even though she expects that electricity to come, Fate doesn't let go of the wire. Sparks fly from her arm as the shock surges, then steam rises from her whole body as small currents snap over her skin, even blasting out the tie holding her hair in its ponytail. The blonde leans over slightly, clenching her fist against the rush of electricity. "You don't run out, do you?" Fate takes a breath and begins to murmur, "Arcus, Krutus, Aegias..."

Overhead, dark clouds begin to gather. Wait, isn't this a desert? They certainly look like stormclouds, though. "I call the lords of the storm to me..." The wind begins to whip up, and Fate lifts her scythe... which fades away and splits apart, extending a long blade to become an enormous sword. "Baruel, Zaruel, Browzel... those who command the lightning, my call you must obey!" A loud rumble of thunder sounds from the clouds above, and Fate points her Device straight toward it.

"RAIJIN!"

With a loud CRACK, lightning shoots down from the clouds, striking the sword and surrounding Fate with a purple-yellow glow. For only an instant, the aura of electricity remains around her before surging through the wire back toward Hei!

Hei (118) has posed:
Hei's expecting electricity to come back himself. But he's prepared to take it. When the blade surges through him, though, he wasn't expecting /that/ much force, as he's dislodged from the wire and knocked back onto the ground!

Crawling to his feet, he's determined. Beginning a sprint, he runs straight at Fate, attempting to grab her face with one hand, and smash his fingers into her side, surging electricity through them. Contact or no, he then moves the hand on her face towards her leg, and the other hand towards her hair, another attempt at a surge! After this combo, he jumps back, but not too far. He seems to tell they're in the last stages of the battle, by the fact that he's now limping and she doesn't look good either.

Alexandra Knox (275) has posed:
The crowd holds their breath as they can see little more than the bright lights of the lightning, Lex has a better view on her cameras, and keeps everyone up to date, "The electrity keeps flowing, Harlaown just taking it in an attempt to use the same wires to return the favor, is this wise? Can this gambit work?"

Fate T. Harlaown (306) has posed:
As Hei charges toward her, Fate throws up her left arm, wire still dangling from it. ~Thunder Arm.~ Electricity courses over her forearm, but this time she doesn't use it to strike. The Black Reaper grabs her face and jams his fingers into her side, bringing a wince as he strikes the same rib he's punched twice already. But the electricity doesn't seem to affect her this time... and a look at her hand can say why. Rather than coursing through her body, that initial shock is drawn straight to the charge on her gauntlet, adding to the bright glow. Bringing her hand back around, Fate punches against the flat of her Device's blade, discharging all the electricity stored in her glove.

And that's when the second shock comes, triggering a cry of surprise as it races through her body this time to collect on her sword. "You're... fast. I'll give you that." The blonde takes a deep breath and... smiles. It's not confident or snide or mean, just a warm, gentle smile. "We'll have to talk after this, I think."

But the smile fades, replaced with a look of determination. With all of that energy gathered on her blade, Fate has to do something with it... and she begins that process by darting at Hei.

As she approaches, she brings her sword up and swings it around. "Sprite Zanber!" And then, with all her strength, she stabs it at Hei.

...where it goes right through without doing any harm.

What comes next, though, is all the charge, along with a magical pulse, being released at once, an enormous explosion of electricity and magic from the intangible blade.

Hei (118) has posed:
"Sounds good. Name's Hei.". Time for proper introductions! In..the middle of combat! Though, when the blade is about to slash through him, Hei expects the worst...

Until it goes right through him, nothing. But, it takes Hei a second to figure out that he's not safe...and in that second, the pulse bursts through him, knocking him back and onto his knees. "You're good. Now..let's end this!".

Hei takes back to his feet..and dashes forward, one hand. He tosses the hand at her throat...and surges electricity through his body, a high charge! He's hoping this is the last attack he has to take, as he doesn't think he can hold up much longer.

Alexandra Knox (275) has posed:
As the fight speeds up, Lex finds herself lost for words, she scrambles back near the end, "Lightning keeps flowing back and forth, the competitors are talking and there the Black Reaper finishes it with a victorious introduction, lightning charging through as he reaps the rewards of victory. Congratulations to both competitors for a well-thought fight and aspecially to the black reaper for winning the first round!"

Fate T. Harlaown (306) has posed:
"Fate." A tight smile pulls on the blonde's lips. "Fate Testarossa Harlaown." He should know her name from the match announcement, but it's only right to give a name when one is offered, and now she knows the identity of the Black Reaper. Kinda.

Midchildan magic is, by default, non-lethal. The blade of Fate's sword is made of magical energy, not solid, so even if it were tangible, it wouldn't be able to kill Hei. It might hurt quite a lot, though. After the Black Reaper gets back up and charges in again, Fate steps forward as well, swinging her sword. She avoids Hei's hand, meeting it instead with Bardiche's blade, and shoves hard against him... but then the electricity comes, running down the blade and into Fate. The blonde seems to weather the shock just fine, though she drops down to one knee... and then a sharp *crack* sounds, as the golden gem on Bardiche's hilt overcharges, nearly splitting the Device's core in two. "Mmmm..." Shaking her head slowly to clear it, Fate glances at her Device, then slowly lowers it. "I yield." She can't go on at full strength while both injured -and- with a damaged Device, not with her head swimming like this. "Good match. Bardi<span class=" bold_fg_y bg_n ++ he?"

~chy">Yes, Sir. Standby Mode.</span>~ The sword vanishes, reverting back to a small triangular gemstone with a crack in it. "Don't worry. I'll have Shari look you over." Pushing herself unsteadily to her feet, Fate extends a hand toward Hei.

Hei (118) has posed:
Hei didn't expect a yield. But, it works. The battle's over and neither of them will end up having to be respawned!

Shaky himself, he shakes Fate's hand. "A great battle with a very great combatant. When we're fighting together for the Union, I'll know I'm with good hands.". He provides a light smile, looking up at the sky. "Now, howabout we get ourselves patched up?"
