He doesn't know what his opponent's power is, but it doesn't matter. He's going to be up front about exactly what he's going to do in this fight. He's going to break someone.

She enjoyed testing things out without her powers last time, even if it didn't look like that would be the case this time. Her opponent was already surrounded in flames. The cogs were already moving, trying to decide how best to handle this one and his power. Back to Top   Artorias Student By fire, be purged. By flame, be purified.

"Are you afraid the flame?" But apparently he's aware she's there. The question doesn't sound teasing or mocking, but genuine, instead.

Maeve Student [send pm] Joined: September 2017 Gender: Posts: 67 Round 2: Match 4 « Oct 21, 2017 22:55:12 GMT -6 » Quote Select Post Deselect Post Link to Post Member Give Gift Back to Top An interesting question. Mae considers the question and the fighter openly and gives a tiny shake of her head. She wasn't blind with terror, but she was very aware of what flames could do. "I've seen fire destroy a home and give trees life. So I guess that depends. Are you asking if I'm afraid of fire, or pain?" Or death, but the rules that were in place technically didn't allow it.

This one isn't about favourites or least favourites. Even though Artorias is in a weird spot in her good and bad list. BUT! She's curious to see what these two do more so than hoping to see one fail or succeed! Homework time! Back to Top   "Boku wa Kiddo~!" Artorias Student By fire, be purged. By flame, be purified.

Maeve's head tilts to the side. Less loud than before when she'd seen him, but still pretentious. She woudln't call it ethereal, but she wasn't expecting slang from him. "I can live with it." She raised a brow at him. "I'm guessing this is where you tell me you're going to teach me why I should be afraid?" Back to Top   Artorias Student By fire, be purged. By flame, be purified.

The smile never fades, and his eyes slowly open to look at her. "No. I ask, because I want to give you fair warning before this round begins.

Instead, her eyes narrow at the statement. This man fully believed he could cause major pain and damage. So had Lance, but here she was in round two. Still, the threat had been real before. "Thanks for the warning, Artorias, but I beat the last guy who told me that. I'll take my chances." Back to Top   Artorias Student By fire, be purged. By flame, be purified.

When her punch didn't land, she let the momentum carry her and turned on the balls of her feet to face him, circling around the golden-haired fighter as he spun. She ducked out from the head shot, deciding it would be better to keep this close quarters. Her own actions were quick strikes as she looked to find a way to get him off balace, aiming to kick his legs out from under him as he moved. Back to Top   Artorias Student By fire, be purged.

Her hiss of pain turns into a low growl of frustration at the heat on her raw skin, claws and teeth sharpening as powers come into play again. She throws a jab at where she feels he'd be after that punch, given he likes to move so much and she's kind of blinded by the light! Back to Top   Artorias Student By fire, be purged.

You’re an animal too?” Artorias sounds amused, even as he claws cut into his flowing clothing. Thankfully, or unfortunately, depending on your view, his garments manage to hold together to continue protecting his modesty. He kicks out, aiming for her side to knock her over!

Not by pulling back towards him, which would cause him to have to fight her own pulling power, but by pushing his body forwards. In doing so, he would force her elbow to strike his kneecap instead. However, he doesn't stop there. As Artorias lunges forwards, he also goes to strike Maeve with a fistful of yellow flames, aiming for the side of her head!

It kinda stings. Mae drops the leg after her elbow strike and shifts her head and shoulder, stepping in and slamming one clawed hand into his torso and, if the land hits, tearing her hand across his torso, digging them in deeper before tearing them out!

Even though her shift had saved her from his punch, Maeve quickly finds Artorias more or less tackling into her as she releases the leg, his arm that had missed its attack wrapping around her head in a headlock. His other hand, burning a bright white flame, swings for her now-trapped face, with an equivalent force of being struck by a small car. She could still claw at his body, of course, but it would be more than worth it to the flame-wielder. Back to Top   Have no fear I will be your vengeance, your justice, and your salvation.

She brings her arms in front of her face to block the punch, grateful for her increase in strength. While his hands are busy, however, she's not against slamming the heel of her foot with enough strength to leave a crater in a wall and following it with a punch to his pretty face!

Unfortunately, Artorias would not give her the chance to be separated from him, just yet. Instead, he follows through with his punch, turning his body as he does so and using the hand that had previously holding her in a headlock to grab a handful of hair and pull downwards, fully intending on using the force of the impact to pin Maeve's arms to her face while the back of her head slams into the arena floor! « Last Edit: Oct 29, 2017 19:21:23 GMT -6 by Artorias » Back to Top   Have no fear I will be your vengeance, your justice, and your salvation.
