Lina Brand     It's afternoon in Kawakami City, the famed Archer Mage who's defended her title three times now waits back in the Dojo's outer ring area. With her bow at the ready, she stretches out, arching a bit here and there, the mechanical quiver spinning around and preparing a few arrows for her use, some of the shafts glowing with magic. "So, another one is coming... and I don't even know who they are." she shrugs and walks around the arena some, her eyes looking around to see where he is.

    It's the same old story though, get challenged, win challenge, get more challenges, win those. This isn't becoming productive for her, her studying of ranged weaponry taking a back seat to all of this. Oh well, she's getting really good at this and she needed the practice anyways with her new quiver...
Karian Icefang     The challenger arrived with a bit of flair to him. Mounted upon a rhino-sized wolf, Karian offered a nod towards Lina. "Hello, Lina. I've been waiting a long time for this match. I hope that I will prove a solid challenge for you." He says. He dismounts Ygdril and sends him off to the side after a scritch of his head. He then draws his new sword, the adamantium claymore known as the Wolf's Fang.
Kushiko And with challengers and incumbents, there was another kind of watcher. Two, more specific. A sleek-looking armored figure, tail flicking lightly behind her that emphasized certain catlike features to the Valkyr warframe, colored black with orchid-like hues of purple came through one of the side entrances to the Dojo to watch. Accompanying her was a massive kubrow, black fur dominating with a few purplish streaks that might make even a space marine give it a second look, as tall and as powerfully built as it was next to the feminine frame.

She took up a spot, the batlike snout giving a modest huff from the Kubrow as she knelt, hands on her knees to watch. With what, given the lack of obvious optics is any guess, but she wasn't volunteering anything more besides her quiet observation.
Lina Brand     Lina blinks a bit, the mount was interesting but the towering man before her, in that armor. "Wow." is all she says in response to the entrance. "I guess it's time to deal with some of the big boys now. But, this... this is kinda rediculous." she looks back at her arrows, then the armor... then the sword and that pistol at his side. The pistol gets a good look from the Archer, and a devious grin. "About time someone brings a ranged weapon to the fight."

    It honestly doesn't take the archer too long to pop out an arrow glowing yellow from her quiver and quickly nock it into her bow. As she moves around, she nods her head, the wind picking up around her and a pile of leaves encircling her. "Well, I guess you should be prepared then." soon after, she dissapears from sight. She smirks from her invisibility and quickly starts running to reposition herself behind the Space Wolf. "Armor is metal, and metal loves electricity... so maybe..." those leaves and wind encircle her again, revealing her behind the armored competetor!

    "So here, I have a gift for you! Thundara Arrow!" and with a thwip, that arrow is launched at high speed towards that armor. If it peirces... well, that's something new to the Archer Mage, but mostly, she's looking at aiming at specific chinks in the armor.
Karian Icefang     Karian feels the arrow strike a weak spot in the armor, and send a jolt through his system. It was definately unpleasent, and made him more conscious that he'd need to keep moving and dodge. Of course, he also opted to start with the range game. "If range is what your best at, I'll take your challenge." He says, voice filled with enjoyment. He whips the pistol around and fires the heavy slugs towards the archer, aiming more to injure then wound.
Lina Brand     The shot rings out and crashes right into the Archer's armor, what bit she wears anyways. The power of that bolter does send her flying when the slug hits her, crashing and tumbling into the ground, as a blue arrow pops out of the quiver, into the air. "Nnngh, that.. that hurt..." she stops rolling after a good few feet, only to bound back up, clutching her side slightly. "What the hell is that gun anyways, I've not seen anything like it on Galianda..."

    She breaks off into a run, a yellow glow surrounding the archer now to beef up her defenses... and she lets the blue arrow fly, aiming towards the legs, she's hoping to freeze him in place, but with that armor... she's not a hundred percent sure that would even work. She continues to run, however, to try and snag that boltgun from his hand! "Gimme it!"
Karian Icefang     Karian grits his teeth as the new arrow hits him. He feels the cold, briefly reminded of the cold blizzards of Fenris. As for his bolter, Lina would succeed in trying to snag it, but would quickly find the pistol to be quite heavy. Of course, this left the archer in close proximity for an armored shoulder. "I doubt you can hold it." He says.
Lina Brand     Snagging the pistol is an achievement. However, that elbow smacks her and sends her flying once more. Being meat versus someone in super heavy armor, it doesn't look that great for the archer here, but hey, she still has her prize! A SPACE WOLF BOLTER! Yes, it's heavy, quite heavy, and it's punctuated on how heavy that is when she lands with that thing crashing right on top of her. "Aaaagh! That hurts!" With the protect spell, though, it doesn't hurt as bad as something like that COULD have had.

    She slowly gets up, pulling her prize up and at the ready and she's holding it with one arm with it braced against her other arm. "Well... lookie here...! I can hold it!" barely... Her finger's on the trigger aiming it towards the armored man. "Hey, have a taste of your own medicine!" and with a click, she sends a bolter round towards the armor, but the recoil sends her barreling backwards!
Karian Icefang     Karian was surprised by this. He never expected a mere human to lift up a bolter. Still, the shell manages to punch through his armor and do some damage. He narrows his good eye, and runs at Lina. He moves to grab the bolter back, and flip poor Lina into the ground. "Your stronger then I expected. I am impressed, and quite glad I chose to fight you."
Lina Brand     "I'm a ranged weapon master back home. This is heavy bu.." the archer's caught off guard from the exposition and she's flipped up and over and had her prize stolen from her! Not to mention that she was in the air. With a heavy landing, she bounces and tumbles again, as a small rip in space starts to form in the sky. "Nnngh, ow ow... ow ow ow..." she coughs a bit, a light blue glow starts to surround the archer, a regen spell! Wounds are starting to knit themselves and she slowly gets up.

    "What the hell are you?" she questions, a bit sternly, however another arrow is pulled out. This one is glowing a bright blue and brown. "It doesn't matter... I'll defend my title and I'll make sure you fall. Speaking of falling!" She fires off the arrow and starts running again, however, this time the arrow is going to fall short of the Space Wolf, a slight grin is on the Archer's face as the ground starts to ice over and rumble.

    The rumbling gets louder and louder, shaking back and forth before ice spires start to spike up from the ground, aiming to disorient and stab the Space Wolf through the armor, using the Quake spell to try and fumble his footing and the Blizzara spell to create the ice spikes!
Karian Icefang     Karian shakes and the ice spears into him. "A soldier..created for war. Made to fight evils unlike anything that can be imagineable." He says. He grimmaces, but ignores the pain. He brings his sword down to cut the ice spikes in his path. He marches for Lina, and at the last moment breaks into a run, aiming his shoulder for her.
Lina Brand     Lina backs up a bit, her magic isn't doing anything, he's shrugging everything off and still marching. Most people would be down by now, but this person? Lina pulls out another arrow, this one glows a very bright red... "A soldier, huh? It's probably why you're not even feeling my magic." she steels herself and braces for the impact, closing her eyes as she feels the Space Wolf run right into her, sending her barreling forward. Just before that, however, she fires the arrow into the ground.

    Tumbling more and more, the quiver breaks off her back and she skids to a halt, slowly breathing as she waits. The space rip up above is still growing, and those familiar with her knows exactly what comes out of that. But then, there's that red arrow at the Space Wolf's feet. "Fira... Fira..." she whispers, the arrow explodes into a raging inferno of helixed fire dancing around and on the Space Wolf. "Melt... melt that armor!"

    Lina clutches the bow, still channeling her MP into the spell in the sky. She's almost done... but... how much more punishment can she take from this man in armor...
Karian Icefang     Flames, in addition to magic. In another time, Karian would have accused the girl of being a sorceror or in league with chaos. But he was wiser then he was before. Still, the flame wasn't something he could shrug off. Hair singed, and his armor began to blacken. He felt he needed to get away, and did so. He leapt from the flames, and skidded slightly. He then ran for Lina and whipped that massive sword at her bow. "I hope that your bow is reinforced!" He calls, genuine emotion in his voice. He wanted to win, but not disarm his enemy.
Lina Brand     At least the fire did something. She drops to a knee and sighs, she really can't take much more of this. She braces herself once more, bringing her bow to bare to defend herself, the running Space Wolf with the brandished sword. She looks to the sky, there's no way Comet would be done by the time she needed it and with the Space Wolf seemingly uninjured! She brings the bow up to meet sword, but this may have cost her everything.

    The blade slices cleanly through the bow, causing the girls eyes to go wide, meanwhile the sword's traveling crashes right into her, cutting deep into her, the Archer Mage's armor falling apart under her tunic, the metal rings visible... along with blood upon the blade and from the wound, she falls to her back, arms at the side, holding both halves of the broken bow.

    She closes her eyes, whispering slightly, a nearly unintelligable voice coming from the mage. She knows she's almost out of MP... she's got a spell nearly finished... and... ah, to hell with it. "FIRA!" she shouts out, pointing both halves of the bow towards the Space Wolf, trying to set him on fire even more. "GET... AWAY!"
Kushiko Taciturn is the observer. The Kubrow on the other hand occasionally makes a little growling whine as her ears flick back and forth when it looks like particularly.. painful instances happen. The Warframe, the armored figure with it's own unique ranged weapons, simply watches.

And learns.
Karian Icefang     Karian once more feels the burn of the Fira spell. This time it manages to catch him good. It scortches near his one good eye, causing him to stumble back. He was glad that he had a more advanced ability to heal, or he would be blind now. Still, his vision was skewed. "Nicely done...Sorry about your bow. I'll pay to repair it." He says. Even through the battle, he seemed to have a firm code of honor when it came to duels. But he still refused to give up. He moved to bring the sword down again, once more aiming to hit armor more then flesh.
Lina Brand     Armor is aimed for and Lina moves to try to let it hit the undamaged bit of armor, however, it continues to cut right through, digging itself into the chainmail, causing the archer to scream out in pain. The protect spell is no longer active, regen isn't working anymore and the rip in space is growing wider and wider. So is the grip of conciousness. "Nnngh... your sword..." she groans out, tying to get back to her feet, but falling back to her knees.

    This is it, Comet will have to finish him off or... she's going to lose her title... Lina concentrates, holding on tightly to the ruined bow, chanting in a magical language as a second rip in space opens up even quicker than the first. The benefit for Lina here is her ability to double cast... And it's here, she'll try to finish off the Space Wolf... with Space Rocks. "I hope..." a loud, blood spewing cough, "you're ready! COMET! COMET!" she shouts, falling down towards her back and letting her weapon go.

    The rips in space open wide and seem to aim right towards Karian, firing off a rapid barrage of flaming rocks down towards him, following him wherever he moves! "Just... fall." she chokes out, groaning in pain as she looks for something on her body... maybe she had a potion left or something to end this pain... because damn, the sword hurts.
Karian Icefang     Karian simply stares as he's smashed into by the massive comets. By all rights, he should be dead from that. But space marines aren't normal men. As the dust clears, he was flat on his back. But he slowly rose. It was clear he was hurting, judging by how he remained on his knee and held his side. "That was impressive...You truely deserve your title as Western Deva. No matter the outcome, the honor was mine to fight you in this duel." He says. Again, the honor of the Space Wolf shines. He was too weak to go for his flashy spinning uppercut now, nor did he want to risk injuring his worthy foe. So he rather went in and aimed a simple uppercut for Lina. But as he ran, he offered one last bit of praise. "I would be honored...to face you again. Regardless of who claims the title."
Lina Brand     "Dam...damn... right." she coughs out, even the Double Comet couldn't put him down. If there was something she could do... to finish this... and nwo he's running in to uppercut the girl that's just now standing up, sending her into the air from that powerfist. She ragdolls in the air, dropping everything she had... the potion bottle, the ether, the bow shards... she's free falling back to the ground and she's in pain. In her mind, she goes over what he said... o O (An honor?) she questions to herself. Second time someone's said that to her.

    She lands on the ground with a heavy crunch, bouncing before crumpling into a ball of horridly in pain archer mage. She had one last thing she could do. She slowly, defiantly gets up. Her body broken and scarred, blood stained armor... she could almost pass for a Blood Angel member... if she knew what that was. But for now, she shuffles towards Karian, pulling out an ornate dagger from a sheath on her leg. "I... am.. not going... to give up!"

    She breaks into a staggering run and makes four rapid slashes at the power armor. She was out of magic power... out of health, out of options... if this didn't disable him, nothing would. A barrage of dagger slicing at anything she could reach... armor, connecting joints, under armor... whatever. These wern't accurate strikes not by a long shot, but she was going to try to keep her title with this...
Karian Icefang     Karian grits his teeth and prepared for an attack, but the sheer desperation surprised him. He felt that dagger cut across his face, into the joints of his armor, and even into the black carapiece. He moved to grab Lina and bring her to the ground. He wanted to end it here and now. "Your fire...I'd swear you were one of us. I promise you this. You will have a shot again...the first one. My honor demands I give you the chance to reclaim what I take." He says. His hold was one that was aimed to slam Lina down. Once he did, however, he let go. He then offered a potion to his foe. "This will ease your injuries."
