Scene #6514: MECC: Android 17 vs Sanary Rondel

Owner	Pose
Android 17	The crowd of the arena goes loud when the contestants step onto the arena floor itself. The announcer, a very loud mouth man who is best known for his announcing career in a certain online arena in a world that was once a world of data is the one making the calls. However, as things get hype, Android 17 looks as cool as ever. The android, dressed in jeans and a green and white shirt with an orange band on his arm that says 'ranger' walks with his hands in his pocket. When Sanary approaches, his hands come out, revealing their gloves as he gives her a respectful nod but an appraising look. "Well, may the best one win. Let's have a little fun out here, alright?"
Sanary Rondel	Sanary arrives, donning her usual white coat and a hefty axe the size of her head. There's probably not as much riding on this competition as she thinks it does, but... Well. She's got a lot of issues to work out, and this is the first step in trying to fix some of them! Or making them worse. Either or. It's the first day, anyway. "Hey! You're that guy with the..." Recognizing 17, the healer waggles her arms around vaguely as if trying to badly imitate that thing he does with the barriers. "Heh. Fancy fightin' you first. Let's give these people a good show, yeah." Grinning widely, she stomps once and braces the weapon on her shoulder, turning slowly to wave at the crowd to get them more riled up.
Android 17	"Yeah, I'm the guy with that thing," Seventeen says without emoting a bit. When she gets the crowd going, Seventeen seems to settle back into a fighting stance, eyeing his opponent carefully. "Yeah, it is an interesting turn of fate to fight you first," he says agreeing with her. Then the signal to start goes off with the crowd erupting with cheers. Seventeen seems to seize the initiative first. He gets in close, aiming to try and test the defenses of the woman with a quick burst of speed and moving to come right next to her. A fist swings out, aiming to try and catch her across the face, before he ducks down. His feet strikeout, aiming to try and take her footing and send her flying back, while he spins back to his feet and takes his stance again. Right now he's just testing her defenses and trying to get out to pace the fight.
Sanary Rondel	"I knew it! Heh, don't hold back if my swings get too tough to handle!" Puffing herself up a fair bit, Sanary braces herself for the cyborg's first attack. She watches his hands and feet, taking a firm stance as she readies her swing to intercept! And then he hits her right in the face. Jerking her head sideways to let the blow slide off instead of breaking something outright, she hunches over to keep her footing firm even as he's already moving for a followup. "Fast...!" The sweep nearly throws her off balance as she staggers back on one leg, but uses the power of BODY WEIGHT to slam her foot back down instead of falling on her back. That stomp turns into the first step of Sanary launching herself at 17. She brings her axe to her side first, then sweeps it sideways towards the ranger, aiming to cleave it right into him without overextending herself too much.
Android 17	"Oh don't worry about me, I am sure I can take what you can throw. Don't hold back on my account. I'm a LOT tougher than I look, with our without the phoosh!" he says, making the motion of his barrier again. The exchange happens, as she manages to avoid being sent on her back. He notices the recovery and changes his strategy accordingly. Taking her off of her feet was going to be harder than it seems, so that is fine. He won't rely on it. However, the axe comes sideways. Nice, she didn't attempt to put it all into an overhead cleave which would be easy for him to avoid. He waits, right at the last moment, he leaps backward, aiming to narrowly leap over the blade as it passed under him. She might think this leaves him open, but then in a flash, he was gone. He comes from above her, leg swinging down for the top of her head while she was still in mid-swing, aiming to try and knock her off balance.
Sanary Rondel	Despite the swing being a more controlled one, it was still overall kind of useless! Sanary's expression stiffens as she tries not to let irritation show, but everyone can see. Maybe it's just a fluke. Whatever the case is, she looks even more determined to prove her GIRTHYNESS as Seventeen takes to the air over her. Again, instead of avoiding the blow, she brings an arm up to block against it, letting her free hand take the bulk of the blow while healing magic courses through her to weather the worst of it. "... There. I got you now!" Pivoting with the axe in her other hand, she goes for a somewhat wilder blow, nearly flinging herself over as she goes for that semi-overhead swings to try and catch him across the side again.
Android 17	The blow catches Seventeen flat-footed, the surprising amount of momentum behind the attack manages to get through his defenses, but somehow the android manages to avoid the very WORST of an attack like that, not being cleaved in twain. Instead, his arms cross and a nice gash runs down his right arm. He bounces off of the ground, however, and slides across the arena. Slowly, he sits up, head leaning forward just a bit as he continues to stare without any emotion on his face. A flip to his feet sends him back into a stance before he vanishes again. Appearing directly above her, his hands start pumping, as blasts of energy start raining down, attempting to simply saturate the arena in damage, as opposed to trying to move in precise attacks towards her. Once more deciding that this might be a better strategy. This is followed up with a larger blast, as his hands come up above him, and thrust down as a larger ball of energy shoots down, trying to detonate with her on contact.
Sanary Rondel	Finally! A hit! It's not Sanary's best hit by any stretch of the imagination, but it's still a hit nonetheless. Feeling significantly better about herself, she proceeds to feel significantly worse when Seventeen disappears abruptly. Damn teleporters. By the time she realizes he's above her, he's already started raining down explosive death upon the healer. She does what she does best, of course: Stand there, use her arms and axe to protect her face and torso, and wait it out as her healing magic keeps her from being burnt to a crisp like the ends of her coat. "...Heh heh. Now that's what I-" As she's about to call out excitedly, she catches that last blast to the face. Staggering back, Sanary braces her axe against the ground to steady herself while singed flesh mends slowly before the watching audience. "Now we're gettin' into it... Alright. Let's give these people what they paid for!" She stomps once, then jerks her head back abruptly as energy gathers in her eye. A moment later, and a massive laser blasts out of it, causing multiple explosions on the way towards the android! Cyborg. Dammit, Gero.
Android 17	The blast from the eyes was unexpected, force Seventeen to brace. The blast sends him flipping head over end from the attack, but he manages to flip back to his feet and once more on the ground. Smoking, and somewhat injured he shakes it off. Cracking his neck after a moment, before returning to his fighting stance. His eyes narrow now, more focused as he considers his next move. This time, however, he turns a hand back and throws a ball of energy forward to try and gain her attention. He follows right behind it so that hopefully she moves to defend or deflect the attack, he was right there. His right-hand moves to try and break through her defenses, attempting to punch right across the face again, before flipping up and bringing his heel down for the side of her neck.
Sanary Rondel	It takes Sanary a moment to recompose herself after that heat blast from her eye, rolling her shoulders to make it look natural by the time 17 is back on the ground. She still has that confident grin on, but it's a little more winded now as the fight keeps going on. "You're tougher than you look, guy. Most of the pretty guys I know would be all 'oh not the face' and shit. But this..." The axe-wielder stomps once more as she readies her weapon in front of her. "... I think this looks better for a real fight!" Charging towards him as he launches that blast at her, Sanary grunts slightly as that blast singes her hands and the side of her head on impact with her weapon, and she brings her weapon up in preparation for a strike right at the same time as 17 punches her in the face. She staggers back once more, only barely managing to swing her arm up to block the leg poised to knock her out with that swing to the neck. She loses her hold on her axe from the impact, though, and Sanary is forced to improvise! Today's improv: Grabbing for 17's leg. Catching up to him is practically impossible, but she's somewhat more confident in her ability to get her hands on someone trying to hit her! She tries to wrench him downwards for a slam, and she doubles back afterwards to get her hands on her axe once more. Even she's not stupid enough to try fist-fighting a fistfighter for long.
Android 17	The leg is caught and while she attempts to slam him, Seventeen manages to catch himself with both hands. The ground cracking below him as he flips away. Sanary tries to go for the ax, which causes the cyborg to flip back once more and then vanish. Right as she goes to grip the ax, he reappears right next to her, attempting to send his foot right into her stomach and attempt to force her away from the weapon. Attempting to make her pay for every bit of ground she might gain towards that axe. After all, this was a fight. The winner was the one who made the other person fight for more ground.
Sanary Rondel	Just how fast are his reflexes?! Sanary's not fast by any means, but still. She's looking a smidge frustrated again even as she's going for her axe, and pure stubbornness spurs her into eating that kick while grabbing her weapon. She lets that kick send her back, tumbling around the ground a few times and skidding on her face before slamming a hand down to halt herself. "Okay. Enough messin' around. Time to go big!" Standing back up, the healer wobbles for a brief moment before holding the axe pointed upwards infront of herself. "This! Is the style that I've honed over decades!" She's twenty-something. "No more fancy shit. Just take it!" Roaring out louder than she reasonably should, Sanry starts approaching 17 while whirling her axe around with a surprising amount of dexterity for someone so... Her-like. As she rears back for what looks like a big overhead swing, however, Sanary lurches forward with a sudden kick to 17's leg before following it up with the big overhead swing!
Android 17	The kick hit's Seventeen's leg right as he was about to move, causing him to stumble and then take the brunt of the swing. He goes flying, hitting the ground with a satisfying crunch and rolling across the arena. Looking straight up at the sky he takes a moment for the birds to stop flying across his face. He leans up, "You...look about twenty-something," he says, out of the blue, probably into the refining comment. However, he flips to his feet, hurt but now out of the fight yet and leans down into a runner's stance. Alright, well... He explodes in a burst of speed, aiming to try and simply rush right towards Sanary. He moves for a swing against her face, before changing direction and coming at her from another direction. He uses his insane speed to keep moving at her from weird directions, aiming a kick or a punch before vanishing again. He appears above her, aiming his hands down and firing a ball down at her, but then is gone again. This time he appears right below her, aiming to uppercut her straight up into the air, right towards the ball. The resulting explosion, should he be successful, would be quite the show stopper.
Sanary Rondel	Breathing in slowly as that swing connects, Sanary prepares to follow Seventeen across the arena right until he pipes up about her age. "... Eh? Hey, you callin' me old? I only turned twenty a few months ago!" That's really all it takes to set her off, apparently. Or... Anything'll set her off, really. She's caught off guard when the guy way over there is suddenly in her face, punching her square in the jaw AGAIN. Those poor teeth. Healing magic is all that's keeping them in there now, as she's forced on the back foot just to make sure she takes that barrage of punches and kicks to places other than her head and kidneys. Those poor kidneys. Also, those teeth again as Seventeen launches her face-first into the explosive energy ball, the ensuing lightshow sure to indicate the end of the match! Until it doesn't, and Sanary starts laughing. It's less of an ominous laugh and more a punch-drunken fight laugh. "Shit... Now tha... That's more like it!" She staggers onto her feet, wiping blood away from her sole eye and staining her sleeve with yet more blood and grime. "But you ain't... You ain't got me down yet!" And then she tries something flashy. Again, she goes for those whirling axe moves in a steady approach towards the cyborg. In-between twirls of that axe, though, lasers erupt from her eye once more scattering explosions around him. Once she's close enough, she looks like she's about to attempt that feinting kick and slash maneuver, but instead stomps to build up just enough speed for a flurry of rapid-fire slashes!
Android 17	The blasts of energy from her eyes smash into the arms of the defending Cyborg. The two forces collide, but leaving him signed, but still alive after the blast. Staggered, she comes in for the swing of her axe. Seventeen guards again, forced on the defensive. The axe cuts down on the first swipe, cutting through his defenses and causing a massive streak of pain across his chest. As Seventeen staggers he goes for her flurry, but then something happens. The barrier surrounds him, the green barrier absorbing the attack and while strained, does not break. His eyes snap up, and right as he expects her attack to weaken, he releases the barrier and swings again right towards her chest, aiming to push her back before both hands move in front of him for another burst of energy. There is a long breath as he is trying to keep his breathing under control. "I have to say, Axwoman, you are hard to put down."
Sanary Rondel	That axe maneuver takes a lot of Sanary, partially from the fight becoming a slugfest and partially from using up so much energy between firing those blasts and healing herself the entire time. She's looking a fair bit winded by the time the cyborg brings out his barrier, and she breaks into another grin even as he knocks her back firmly and sends her skidding several yards. "Hey! There's the thing!" That's about all she gets out before that surge of energy is upon her, and Sanary slams her axe down in front of her again to take some of the heat off herself. Her coat is all but burnt and she can feel it searing her, but she pours all of her energy into healing. Excessive amounts of healing. It keeps her conscious (barely), and it keeps her still semi-standing. "Sh... Shit, man. What kinda forests... Are you even protecting people from?" She still hasn't fallen yet, though, and the axe-wielder begins a slow, yet still steady approach towards 17 as she drags that weapon behind her. And then she goes for a big heavy boot to the gut. Nothing fancy, nothing flashy. She doesn't have enough in her tank for more than that.
Android 17	The foot catches Seventeen across the stomach, overextending himself causes him to not be able to move. Without much effort on Sanary's part, the attack catches him and send him staggering back. This time, however, on a knee he's not getting back up. "The kind where people with military weapons come to try and hurt animals for shits and giggles," he says, with a groan. The crowd goes wild when Sanary's foot claims victory.
Sanary Rondel	With fight over, Sanary stares at 17 dumbfoundedly for a few moments before raising her hand when the crowd cheers. Two seconds later, she faceplants right next to 17. "Brgfh... Guh. Really? So I'm not saying..." She groans, then rolls onto her side. Some of those teeth are going to need work. "Not sayin' we should make an example of them, but..." She wiggles her arm a bit. It's that barrier thing signal. "Just... You know. Right inside their heads. As an exam... Ple."
Android 17	"I do not like to kill, and I do not have to kill them," Seventeen says, ploping on his back. "Life is too precious to waste."
Sanary Rondel	"Well... Yeah, I guess, but one or two can't hurt, right? Just to show them who's...?" Sanary sounds somewhat confused, turning over onto her back to take the pressure off her arm. "Then again... Hm. Maybe that's why you're the right type for that kinda job."
Android 17	"Maybe," Seventeen says, staring up at the sky, "It might be easier to be like that. I'd be betraying myself and the promise I made to some people if I did things like that. That and once you take one life, it's easy to keep doing it. It's a slippery slope, but that's just how I am." He says, leaning up and trying to stagger to his feet. People with stretchers were probably coming for both of them.
Sanary Rondel	"Heh... Right. One. That'd be a... That'd be pretty bad, yeah. If it happened." Sanary laughs awkwardly, clearing her throat and looking around slowly to try and find the medical personnel. Where the hell are they?! "Not like I've ever gone overboard or... Whatever. A-anyway. Good fight!" Smooth.
Android 17	"I'm not you, and you're not me. I don't judge people by what they've done." he says, standing up and nodding towards her, "Yes, good fight. Hopefully We'll see each other in the finals."
