Nova Terra     Blue light washes over a part of the arena, revealing Nova as she decloaks. Standing there, large canister rifle resting over her shoulder, Nova looks up and around at the arena crowd. She gives them a smile and a wave, but otherwise doesn't do much to engage them. She's not the type who enjoys spectacle. It goes against her preferred method of operating. But it's not why she's participating in this tournament. No, she has other reasons.

    Nova turns to watch her opponent arrive, not knowing her much personally as they've only met once. But Nova has a reasonable idea what to expect, having had a number of experiences with Servants in the past.
Tamamo no Mae     Tamamo's making her way into the arena this time, her last two were failures and she poured everything into it. Today, she's hoping her luck will change as her MIrror floats around, the robes flow around her as she steps into the arena, perked up and willing to go at it. At least, until she sees her opponent.

    "Archer?" she mutters a class designation as she looks at that rifle. "Well, this should be interesting." talismans drop to her feet from her sleeves, prepping something... but she waits. "Go on. I'll deign to let you have the first move."
Nova Terra     Nova is offered the opportunity to go first. Clearly it would be polite, perhaps even honorable, to offer the same in return. Nova reaches up to pull her visor down over her eyes.

    "Works for me."

    Nova quickly shifts her rifle into both hands and starts running. She dashes towards a nearby pillar, rifle aimed in Tamamo's direction. A quirk burst is fired. Not a highly accurate set, Nova just testing the Caster's defenses.

    Nova quickly reaches the pillar shortly after firing, pressing herself against it for cover while she peeks out from it to see the results.
Tamamo no Mae     "Well." the Fox Caster mutters, breaking into a run as Nova starts to get prepped herself. "Archers using a gun. I may have seen everything." the gun fires and Tamamo attempts to dodge it, the bullet buzzes past her cheek and slices a good mark into it, a streak of blood pools from the newfound cut upon her face.

    Tamamo skids a bit, her mirror facing towards Nova Terra, "Mikon!" fireballs burst from the mirror in a wide spread, at least hoping it'll put the sniper off balance enough to derail her next shot.

    "Guns versus Magic, this will be a battle!" she shouts out to rile up the crowd in cheers for both herself and her opponent!
Nova Terra     "Not an Archer!" Archers use bows. Silly fox.

    Nova sees the fireballs coming her way and ducks back behind her cover. She holds her ground as they explode around her, flames licking at her suit and leaving scorch marks behind. But Nova doesn't budge, waiting for an opening in the assault.

    Once the fireballs let up, Nova quickly turns, raising her rifle towards Tamamo and looking down the scope. It only takes her a moment to aim, pulling the trigger but only firing off one shot this time. But far more accurate.

    Nova doesn't wait around for the result though, this time dashing out of her cover and starting to circle around the Caster. She does call out though, "Wouldn't be my first time!"
Tamamo no Mae     Tamamo made a mistake and stopped. That shot rings out and gets her good, ripping through her robes and right into her side, a loud 'Mikon' of pain rings out and she moves to clutch her now bleeding side, "Nnngh, Berserker." she comments right back.

    Oh good, she's moving... now it's time for the fox to move, running /towards/ the sniper this time, her mirror swirls around her as a quick costume change gets her into her swimsuit, and a beach parasol appears where her mirror was!

    "Mikon! Lancer Time and time for sunshine!" she skids and lets the parasol fly, making it spin like a top towards the awaiting sniper! "I learned some things while on the Moon! Tapping into some other fun things!"
Nova Terra     Nova is... Confused.

    The parasol spins into the Ghost, slamming into her and sending her flying. Nova bounces across the ground a couple of times before planting her hand into the ground and twisting herself to land in a crouching position.

    Nova stands up and asks with some confusion, "Are you wearing a swimsuit? In the middle of a battle?" Damn magic people and their weirdness.

    Nova quickly raises her hand, an aura of psychic energy flaring up around it as she launches a blast of telekinetic force towards Tamamo, hoping to send her flying and cause a bump or too. See how she likes it.
Tamamo no Mae     Tamamo blinks, "Of course. How else can I use a lance?" the parasol returns back to the fox and she smirks, "After all, my robes would just get in the way. But if you prefer..."
    The psychic energy launches the fox back some and back into the robes she goes. The mirror comes back and the parasol lance dissapears. "Well, okay, that's new. What the hell kind of class /are/ you?!" she shouts, but with the moving, she smirks a bit then snaps her fingers, "This Caster's prepared a wonderful surprise for you." she smiled, "Look down." there's another snap of her fingers.

    The talismans below Nova that Tamamo dropped earlier brighten up, "Bye bye." then explode into a tall fire pillar! "You're not the only one who ended up in that. Don't feel too bad." she comments, taking a few more of her talismans out, getting ready as a just in case measure.
Nova Terra     It would appear that Nova has fallen for Tamamo's trap. But she doesn't look down as requested, instead she closes her eyes. Nova is engulfed in flames, disappearing amidst the roaring of the pillar as it rises up into the air.

    However, within the tower of yellow, a blue light begins to shine. The flames making up the side of the pillar closest to Tamamo suddenly burst outward as something moving fast forces its way out. The streak of blue reaches Tamamo almost instantly, Nova appearing there after her psionically-boosted burst of speed.

    In Nova's hands is her monomolecular sword, the blade ignited and glowing with psychic energy. She plunges the blade towards Tamamo's body, only saying afterwards, "I'm a Ghost."
Tamamo no Mae     Tamamo's mirror floats and swirls around, watching the flames engulf the Ghost, "Well, that was that I guess." she comments, "I won one!" she yells out, "Finally! Caster-Class Servant, Tama.... mikon?!" she lets out a startled noise as the pillar has something burst out of it... the streak of blue catches her off guard and the blade plunges in...

    There's a loud hurk from the fox-caster... and she chokes a bit, "Ghost?" she mutters, "An ext... extra class." she coughs out some blood from the strike and she holds onto the Ghost's shoulders. "But... I'm not out yet."

    The mirror floats up above the Caster, the reflective surface facing down. "Curse. Firey Heaven." she whispers, "Never... dealt with... a ghost before... but.." she coughs again and the Mirror of Uka lets out another gout of flame, this one however reeks of corrupting magic, attempting to do much more than hurt Nova.
Nova Terra     Nova keeps her blade embedded in Tamamo, making no move to escape the hold on her shoulders. Or the blast of flames that errupts from that mirror. They wash over Nova, who begins to sink as she succumbs not only to the pain but also the draining effect that the corruption is having on her.

    However, through the pain and growing fatigue, Nova smirks as she locks eyes with Tamamo, managing to get out, "Neither... Am... I..."

    Those eyes begin to glow with psychic energy.

    Several of the stone pillars in the arena begin to shake, as if under some immense pressure. Dust and little bits of debris begin to fall as cracks form. They then suddenly shatter, but the pieces don't fall to the floor. Instead they float there in there air, held within Nova's psychic grip.

    The numerous stone pieces suddenly launch themselves at Tamamo, attempting to smash into and crush her beneath their weight.

    Unfortunately, due to her proximity, Nova is not spared from her own assault as she makes one last ditched attempt to take the fox out.
Tamamo no Mae     Tamamo locks eyes with Nova, the fox giving a bright smile towards the Ghost, "Only one can stand." she mutters, watching the glowing eyes.

    "Mikon?" the stone pillars come up and she pouts, ears flat against her head, "Now this isn't fair." she mutters, and with the sword still stuck in her she can't even move away without hurting herself even more!

    Tamamo braces herself as the pillars float up into the air, but when they don't come down, she looks up... and lets out a soft whine, "Husband, help." she whispers, as they shatter and then launch towards the fox. She braces herself as they come down, crashing around her and Nova... smoke and dust fill the arena!

    It takes a bit for the smoke and dust to die down... the one standing... is Tamamo, barely. She's down on her knees, blade still stuck into her... and she groans out in pain, "I said... I wouldn't lose... this one." she coughs. "For... whatever you are... you did great."
Nova Terra     As the dust settles, Nova is indeed not standing. She's actually lying. On the ground. Unconscious. Yeah that took all she had.
