It's not often that Toph doesn't meet somebody who rubs her the wrong. Was it the way he had an issue with her supervising officer? How he claimed to be so superior to all of them, never having a bad idea? Being so set in seeing the world in black and white? Either way, she's had enough.<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;And Toph Beifong does not bow down to anybody. Especially not after she's finished her lessons for the day and escaped Jarvis' nagging.<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;For now the young girl is standing in the middle of the arena at the Ring that she's set up. There's earth and metal lying around, but she's not hiding, standing in the open with her arms crossed across her chest and standing at her full impressive height of five whole feet. Somebody has grown since she first joined the Union, after all. Her expression is determined. He already thinks she's lost? This isn't the first time she's met big guys who's dismissed her, either for her gender, age, size or disability. Like it will stop her. Not that she intends to lose, but if she does, at least she will show what the hell she's made of and why she is the greatest earthbender of all time.<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Anybody who walks in to watch the match earn a nod from Toph, though she remains quiet, just waiting for her opponent of this grudge match to show his sorry ass.<br> <br>

Well done Lady Kaminagi, all of ye, in D's recovery. May the Lord guide thee in thine new...powers."<br><X-Union-Chatter> [A] Faruja polite cough.<br><X-Union-Chatter> [7] Toph Beifong says, "No, because I could get more out of talking with a wall.

"Are you man enough to say that to my /face/?"<br><X-Union-Chatter> [A] PRT. Armsmaster says, "Yes."<br><X-Union-Chatter> [7] Toph Beifong says, "Then why are you saying it over the freakin' radio?"<br><X-Union-Chatter> [LC] Ryuko Matoi says, "Them's fightin' words."<br><X-Union-Chatter> [3-RF] Himei says, "If you're going to fight, take it to the Ring, you two."<br><X-Union-Chatter> [7] Toph Beifong says, "I can't, I have my lessons!"<br><X-Union-Chatter> [A] PRT.

But sometimes, rules are wrong, or incomplete."<br><X-Union-Chatter> [A] Staren says, "...Hmmm. So crushing an ego will solve problems? You don't think that'll have any lingering psychological effects?"<br><X-Union-Chatter> [A] PRT. Armsmaster laughs. "Very well, Beifong. I'll grant you your reckoning."<br><X-Union-Chatter> [A] Staren sighs.<br><X-Union-Chatter> [A] Kimiko Shinobu says, "Sometimes... communication must be forceful. Though I would not use that for petty words."<br><X-Union-Chatter> [5-Of] Ringing & rumbling Beli Klum says, "Some people like fighting."<br><X-Union-Chatter> [A] Nurse Joy's Honedge says, <Honestly this is probably something you can't analyze and understand if you approach it from a scientific and logical viewpoint.><br><X-Union-Chatter> [A] Nurse Joy's Honedge says, <If you don't get it, go watch some fighting anime.><br><X-Union-Chatter> [4-Of] Setsuko Kaminagi makes an amused noise. "That's within my purview. I can sense the intentions behind someone's fist or blade, if they're strong enough."<br><X-Union-Chatter> [7] Toph Beifong says, "Now be quiet so I can actually finish this damn chapter..." Jarvis can be heard in the background. "Miss Beifong is already behind on her lessons, and I would advise you to save any banter for when she arrives at Njorun station." Toph snorts. "Spoil sport."<br><X-Union-Chatter> [A] Kimiko Shinobu says, "You should... probably turn off your radio if you're reading. As I will, now."<br><X-Union-Chatter> [4-Of] Tony Stark says, "Seriously Army? Are you so insecure you have to fight a little girl?"<br><X-Union-Chatter> [A] Staren says, "Sure I can. It's called /psychology/. My guess is, while /I/ see the point of arguing and debating as communicating information, specifically, eliminating falsehoods and misconceptions... That it is possible that that was not the purpose of this argument. Maybe it's some kind of social posturing dealie, in which case, I suppose, the fight could very well serve the same function."<br><X-Union-Chatter> [A] Nurse Joy's Honedge says, <Also this isn't really the place to debate this kind of thing really, is it?><br><X-Union-Chatter> [A] Ayako Hasekawa says, "Umm... umm... just don't kill each other please."<br><X-Union-Chatter> [3-RF] Himei says, "No, it really isn't."<br><X-Union-Chatter> [A] Staren says, "Hey. Toph is a union elite and skilled fighter. The fact that she is young and female is irrelevant to that."<br><X-Union-Chatter> [7] Frederica says, "It's the Ring of Philosophy. They literally CAN'T kill each other."<br><X-Union-Chatter> [7] Frederica says, "They can't even really hurt each other."<br><X-Union-Chatter> [A] Marrik sips something, "Ring of Philosophy?"<br><X-Union-Chatter> [A] Sir Gawain says, "… Interesting name for a fighting arena."<br><X-Union-Chatter> [A] Staren says, "Ring of Philosophy, turn turn turn, tell us the lesson that we should learn..."<br><X-Union-Chatter> [A] Marrik says, "Wheel."<br><X-Union-Chatter> [3-RF] Himei says, "It's also a lecture hall."<br><X-Union-Chatter> [5-Of] Ringing & rumbling Beli Klum says, "It is a place for any sort of disputes one might want to deal with."<br><X-Union-Chatter> [7] Frederica says, "Right. But in this case it's a great place for Toph and Armsmaster to discuss their difference of opinion. Which is philosophy, I suppose."<br><X-Union-Chatter> [A] Marrik says, "Can it be used for non argument based reasons?"<br><X-Union-Chatter> [7] Frederica says, "It's used all the time for sparring."<br><X-Union-Chatter> [5-Of] Ringing & rumbling Beli Klum says, "Yes."<br><X-Union-Chatter> [A] Marrik says, "This is good. I might want to schedule for it."<br><X-Union-Chatter> [7] Frederica says, "No need. There's practically infinite space within."<br><X-Union-Chatter> [A] Staren says, "Sometimes it is used for teaching and experiments."<br><X-Union-Chatter> [4-Of] Setsuko Kaminagi says, "I use the Ring for training programs occasionally."<br><X-Union-Chatter> [A] Marrik says, "Keep forgetting the scale here."<br><X-Union-Chatter> [A] Marrik says, "Is anybody sure we're not in a bag in something's pocket?"<br><X-Union-Chatter> [AI] Vermillion Sunset says, "Yes."<br><X-Union-Chatter> [A] Marrik says, "OK good, "Crosses thing off list. "Anything else going on?"<br><br>Sometime later…<br><br><X-Union-Chatter> [7] Toph Beifong synchs back on.

Armsmaster says, "No one has been stupid enough to call out the Master of Arms before. You'll see why."<br><X-Union-Chatter> [A] Sir Gawain says, "What if she ends up wiping the floor with you, Armsmaster?~"<br><X-Union-Chatter> [7] Toph Beifong sound amused. "Master of Arms? You haven't met a true master before."<br><X-Union-Chatter> [A] PRT. Armsmaster says, "She won't."<br><X-Union-Chatter> [A] PRT. Armsmaster says, "She has already lost."<br><X-Union-Chatter> [A] Riva Banari says, "Getting all Sun Tzu in here."<br><X-Union-Chatter> [A] Zephyr Windstar says, "Prrrretty overconfident there 'Master of Arms'."<br><X-Union-Chatter> [A] Bahamut chuckles. "And there are those that say I have a large ego."<br><X-Union-Chatter> [A] Staren says, "So what /will/ you accomplish, if you win this fight?"<br>

His footsteps are heavy, slow and precise, each footfall deliberately set and placed. <br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; He towers over her, standing at least six feet tall with a halberd that is as long as he is tall in one hand. His armor is a heavy set of power armor, sleek and shining. It is midnight-blue, with silver trim catching the edges of each plate. With his helmet on, there's nothing to be seen of his face beyond his lips and neatly trimmed beard. <br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Armsmaster pauses just inside the ring. "I've studied your files," he speaks, in a voice that one knows people are usually inclined to obey, "And I know why you have the metal and earth on the field. Call this off before you get hurt."<br> <br>

The seventh-best hero in the Protectorate - might give him a moment's pause. <br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "Barely standing," he grunts out, "Is standing enough. I have no reason to surrender - I hold the power here!" <br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; His battered helmet warns him as the pillars come in, but warning signs don't help so much when he is slow, injured.

"You fought well," Armsmaster states, raising his weapon. "But willpower pales in comparison to skill and technology. Sleep now." <br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; He sets the haft of his weapon against Toph's back, and applies a shock - carefully measured, to end the fight without further injury!<br> <br>
