Scene #6768: Yang VS Rean

Owner	Pose
Rean Schwarzer	The arena's set to a sort of tranquil forest setting. Which, given the fight that's about to break out, won't stay that way for long. Rean adjusts the sheath at his hip a bit as he waits for Yang to arrive. He wasn't sure if he could keep up with her, but that was the whole point of asking for a duel, to see if he could. Or they could both just (figuratively) explode. That could happen too. The black haired teen then spots Yang entering the arena. "Hey!" He shouts, giving Yang a wave as she approaches. He then draws his sword, settling into a fighting stance. "Rean Schwarzer, by the way. Whenever you're ready."
Yang Xiao Long	Yang stretches, shrugging out of her long-tailed jacket and leaving it near the entrance. She offers a wave to Rean when he spots her, and stops a few feet away, limbering up then deploying her gauntlets, the heavy assemblies unfolding along her forearms with a series of mechanical cracks, clicks and shrrrrks, before they give off a distinctive cha-clak as the mechanisms load the first shells into the barrels above her index knuckles. "Try not to die in the first hit." she offers playfully, grinning brightly as she brings her arms up in a defensive stance, and lightly bounces on the balls of her feet.
Rean Schwarzer	Right, gun-gauntlets. Kinda like Fie's gun daggers but with more punching and less stabbing. But that just meant he had to be careful at range too. Rean grins. "Don't plan to!" And with that, he runs at her, staying low in case she tried to shoot him and then striking at her with a horizontal slash.
Yang Xiao Long	Yang tenses in anticipation as Rean runs straight in. She doesn't try to fire at him, instead adjusting her 'grip' and sliding a heavy strike-plate over the mechanism in her gauntlets, and jukes aside a little, bringing up one of them to parry the blade away. She's not /quite/ successful, the tip of the sword piercing through her Aura and leaving a nasty slash across her shoulder, but she rolls around, then diverts that momentum into a full-body, roundhouse swing, the chamber detonating as she reaches the zenith of her blow, and discharging a 'wall' of kinetic force, hopefully right against Rean's midsection.
Rean Schwarzer	Rean skids back, Yang's strike hitting his midsection. He winces, doubling over a bit. But he uses that momentum to put his sword back in its sheath and then unsheath it again, creating an arc shaped shockwave at Yang.
Yang Xiao Long	Yang grins. "Gettin' fancy!" she chirps, bracing her arms in front of her, only to get overwhelmed and knocked flying by the blade beam. She skids along the ground smashing through a few of the trees, then rolls up to bleed the momentum, before spotting a faint shimmer of some golden hairs fluttering to the ground. There's a sudden, and fundemental shift in Yang's demeanor. Her eyes shifting from lilac to red, and her hair beginning to glow and emit motes of golden light. Her lips curl into a snarl, and with a slam of her gauntlets together, kicking up a short-lived surge of wind around her, she craters the floor, snatching up a broken tree trunk and using it as a giant club, aiming to bring it down atop Rean with a bestial snarl of rage.
Rean Schwarzer	/Oh boy./ Yang's getting pissed, and pulls a tree out of the ground and tries to smash him with it. He narrowly avoids getting crushed, but the tree hitting the ground next to him makes him stagger and he falls to the ground. The look on Yang's face and all the fancy glowing and such is painfully familiar, but he needed to see this through. He picks up his sword again, swinging at Yang's legs, trying to give himself an opening to get up again.
Yang Xiao Long	Yang is angry, but she's still got that instinctive defense response, and hops away from Rean's swipe, giving him the space he needs while also taking a clip to her leg, blood leaking from the cut. Yang then shifts back to the offensive, rushing back in with a flurry of punches, swinging wildly with the punctuation of her buckshot-like shells, and the cha-clak of the mechanism cycling.
Rean Schwarzer	Rean gets up, and charges at Yang again, running /past/ her with enough speed to avoid her sporadic shots, and then striking, as he goes by turning into a flurry of strikes.
Yang Xiao Long	Yang gets out maneuvered, and earns a few slashes across her back for her trouble. Instead of turning around, Yang launches herself up into the air, cratering the ground from the effort needed. She pivots, twisting around, and just comes falling straight back down again, her fist trailing ember-like flames, and slams it into the ground, causing it to fracture and launch debris like a giant bombs shrapnel cloud.
Rean Schwarzer	Rean braces himself as Yang impacts the ground, shrapnel cutting into his skin and slamming into him. "Ghh..." Rean mutters, blood dripping down his forehead. Ok. time to end this quick, then before she /really/ blows him up. He takes a deep breath, raising his sword in front off him as it becomes engulfed in flame. And then with a shout, he jumps at Yang, swinging a downward strike at her.
Yang Xiao Long	Yang reacts on instinct. She slams her hands together, catching that blade and getting herself burned for the effort. The impact sends her into a big crater, impact shockwaves stripping away her Aura, raising whelts, cutting deep gashes and shredding clothes... but she survives. Yang releases the blade, her hands trailing smoke. But her eyes are locked onto Rean, shadowed by her bangs and visible due to the eerie glow of her irises. With a simple grunt, she pushes herself up and just aims to uppercut Rean from her knelt position, pushing all her remaining Aura into that fist.
Rean Schwarzer	Rean staggers back, gripping his jaw. /Ow./ He lets out a few coughs, gasping for air. Everything's blurring, but he manages for force his feet back towards Yang and swing his sword down with all the energy he has left.
Yang Xiao Long	Yang's Aura gives out, and she falls to her knees as the sword strike comes in, biting down into her shoulder where it joins her neck, digging deep... before the arena resets. Yang still topples over, rolling onto her back to sprawl out exhausted. "Man, that was probably my favorite fight, MECC ones included." she says, eyes closed as she just basks in the feeling of being so physically drained. "You're tougher than you look. Lets do this again sometime."
Rean Schwarzer	The arena resets, and Rean joins Yang in flopping onto the ground on his back. Even with it rewinding him back to how he entered, he still felt like he burnt all that energy. Was that supposed to happen? Still... "Hahaha...Yeah. That was fun." He says, giving Yang a weak thumbs up. His arm then falls to the side next to him, as he stares up at the night sky.
