His heart was heavy.

The only friend he had made here on Earth.

Now they would be battling against each other.

He wasn't expecting this when he came here. Having to lock horns with the only person he called "friend." How was he supposed to go about this? What if either of them fatally injured the other? Was it possible for this fight to cripple their friendship? No, something like this couldn't possibly come between the two of them. Not with everything they had been through.

Combo reluctantly trudged into the arena, concern on his face like a mask. He let his bag slip off of his shoulder and down his arm, plopping onto the ground. When it landed, a small wave of dust lifted off of the old, creaking floor.

The fighter observed the old, ragged surroundings of the ominous clock tower. It looked like it had not been active for decades. The large gears and pendulums that make up the functionality of the clock tower were rusting and covered in blankets of dust and cobwebs. It's enough to make choke horribly if inhaled. He'd have to watch his attacks so he didn't crumble the floor or send these thick blankets of dust around. However, he was already imagining ways he could take advantage of this.

He had to cut his observations short as he unfortunately picked up on the footsteps of his opponent entering the arena.

Luck, the spirits, and the good graces of the Heavens above were certainly not with her today. How in the surface world had she ended up fighting Combo of all people? This couldn't be right. This had to be some sort of mistake. This had to be a joke of some sort. But Raelean wasn't much for joking.

As she was led to her new arena, she couldn't help but feel her heart beating irregularly. Her poker face remained, but her mouth was pursed at an odd angle and her eyes were trained on the ground. Right now she didn't want to think about fighting her friend. All she could think about was putting one foot in front of the other.

Finally she entered the top level of the arena, this old crap ass looking clock tower. Everything was old and dusty. This was just another negative aspect of her battle here today. This did not look like a safe or sturdy structure to be in. She sighed as she saw Combo across the room, involuntarily breathing in the dusty, mothball-scented air and coughing for a few seconds.

Sticky cobwebs had managed to entangle themselves in her white-streaked brown hair when she entered. Rael brushed them out with her good hand. Her good hand... That reminded her, she was still wearing the cast and arm sling on her right arm. She had almost gotten used to it and pretty much forgotten about it. Well, looks like it was time to take it off and see if the doctors had told the truth. They said her arm would be in perfect condition by her next match. Hopefully that was true.

Rael pulled off the sling and slowly unwrapped her arm. She flexed it gently, and rolled her shoulder. "Good as new..." she thought, before focusing her attention back on her friend slash opponent.

"Leon..." she began, but suddenly found she didn't know what to say. What could one say in this situation? Finally she figured it out.

"Look. I don't want to fight you. And I know you don't want to fight me. But I have to advance. So to make this easy you. Should just. Forfeit. Here and now. Save us all the trouble. And. Neither of us has to do anything we would regret. You wouldn't get hurt. And everything. Would be fine. What do you say?" Rael figured it was worth a shot. Maybe there was some hope reasoning with him. After all, she had forcefully convinced her last opponent to forfeit. Maybe that would be her talent in this tournament.

((Had to get this post in before work so I wouldnt get disqualified. XD))

Suddenly, Combo let out a hearty but friendly chuckle. This is something he wasn't expecting, not from everything these two had been through.

"Oh man, I definitely wasn't expecting that. Not from the mighty Raelean. I expected you to come out here, completely unfazed, throw around some of your classic demands and scowls, and give me a run for my money. But for you to avoid a fight, even if it's against me, it really means something..."

Combo's voice began to mellow out as he neared his opponent in a casual walk. He wanted to make sure she didn't believe he would try to land a sneak attack. Not against his friend, it'd be completely dishonorable and insulting. However, what the fighter did was more astounding than any fighting skills he's ever displayed.

"It means we must mean something to each other," he said lowly, pulling Raelean into a hug. "No matter what happens.. Friends.."

Rael's dark yellow eyes narrowed ever so slightly as her friend approached her. But she knew enough by now that she could trust him completely. That's one of the reasons she was going to fight him... Even if she was reluctant.

Another reason was because apparently he was refusing to forfeit. Well she couldn't expect that to happen in all of her matches.

Rael was quite surprised when Combo hugged her. It wasn't like it was the strangest thing, but in this setting it was a little odd. She hesitated for a moment before wrapping one arm around him in a sad attempt at a hug.

After literally a second she put her hands on his shoulders and pushed him arms length away. Holding him in that position, she looked straight into his eyes.

"Then we're going to. Have to do this. No more sappy crap with me."

Rael took a few steps back and got in a battle stance. She would try to avoid weapons as much as possible in this fight. She did not want to hurt her friend.

"Alright. Just. Take it easy on me."

"Alright. Just. Take it easy on me."

Easier said then done. Both of them had to win, but how could they do it if they're both hesitant to make the first real move.

"You know we're not going to get anywhere that way.." Combo said, not even getting in a fighting stance himself. It didn't settle well that he'd have to beat his friend into submission in order to progress to the next round. After travelling with her for months, of course he knew her fighting mannerisms. This could be the easiest match he'd fight if he could will himself to raise a fist to her.

He began to extend his arms with open palms facing downward. "If you want to win this match.. You're going to have to strike me down.."/

With these bold words, he closed his fists. His arms burst into the iconic, bright green aura known for it's nigh-impregnable defense.

"Manus Contego..."

"You asked for it.." Rael mumbled. She was clearly still hesitant, but she knew what she'd have to do. Her eyes flashed bright yellow for a moment.

"May the spirits above take over my mind and give me the will to bring harm to this person. Or at least give me the strength to do it on my own.." Rael prayed silently, but she felt no significant presences with her. Could she manage this?

Of course she could. She had fought bigger, scarier, stronger foes in the past. But none of that was the problem here.

Rael would start out simple, as she always did. She had to try and gain the advantage. So she ran at him and then slid, hoping to knock him off his feet while simultaneously ending up behind him, granting her two of her preferred advantages in one.

Rael's approach wasn't anything to be shaken by. Having default energy for his legs, he could quickly load them for the advantage. "Pedes Celer!" the fighter called out, as his feet flashed a bright blue color. This agility increase allowed him to nimbly leap lightly onto one of the giant decaying gears inside the Clock Tower. It creaked slightly, and dust mildly rushed away from underneath his light descent, but his weight was applied directly on top so the gear wouldn't spin.

"Contego should keep me defended from her bow and guns she likes to use. I don't think she'd go so far unless I truly upset her and gave her a reason to take me down. I'd rather not hit her weak spots such as talking about her past but she's still not motivated to win..." Combo thought to himself. This wouldn't be the first time he'd have to take down a friend and this moment wouldn't be the last. He'd have to get used to these kinds of situations.

Springboarding off the wall, he began dashing directly at Raelean at a relatively fast pace. He kept one hand out in front, ready to deflect whatever projectiles came hurling his way.

How could she forget that Combo was super fast and just as agile as her? And how could she forget that he had those fancy little powers to help give himself the edge? Well she was definitely remembering now. But maybe he wasn't quite as agile as her. After all, he had weight on her, so she could naturally get around easier, or so she hoped. And she had powers of her own... er, well, that is... She had borrowed powers, lent from the Heavens. But just like her weapons, she was going to try to avoid using them as much as she could.

Rael had just enough time to roll out of the way, as she was still on the ground from her last attempt. She popped up quickly and when Combo was within reach, attempted to grab him by his shirt/collar with her right hand while she came around with her left for a solid hook to the jaw. Ah, the jaw punch. One of her favorites.

But Rael decided at the last second not to put any Darma behind this attack. She didn't want to hurt him too bad.

Combo knew she was going to move out of the way. The attack was just too obvious. However, Combo wanted to create the illusion that he was putting forth true effort in an attempt to will his opponent into fighting. So, he put extra force into his punch. However, when he crashed his fist into the ground, the shockwaves broke the floor.

Whoops.

Combo had a funny look on his face as he went hurdling through the floor. However, this was a great vantage point. Celer made his footsteps nimble. So he kicked off a larger piece of debris and launched himself upwards towards the position Rael was when she tried to reach out for him. With a powerful uppercut, he broke back into the floor above him to launch an attack.

His combo effect was mildly suppressed because he still couldn't bring himself to fully hurt her, however. He'd be left airborne, so hopefully he could deflect a possible counterattack with Contego.

"Whoa."

Rael uttered this simple word as she backflipped out of the way. If she hadn't, she would've fallen through the broken section of the floor too. Just like Combo had.

She carefully stepped over to the broken section of the floor and peeked over, looking for her opponent.

"You okay," she asked, but of course it didn't sound like a question, they never did. "You're such a klutz--" Rael began, but immediately received payback for trying to taunt him. He came bursting up through the floor for an attack, flinging Rael back a little.

"Ow!" she exclaimed, looking the slightest bit offended, "You are actually trying to hit me."

Rael, still on the ground, held her arms up towards him in bow-weilding position. In a mere second, the form of her Holy Weapon shimmered and finally materialized solid in her grip. The sleek, shiny blue and white bow glittered in her hands, looking powerful and a complete contrast to their dull, dusty, run-down surroundings.

"Alright then. Two can play that game. Stay grounded. Play fair."

Rael materialized a single arrow and shot it at his midsection. She really didn't want to use her weapons, but she had to come out of this on top. Besides, no shot she fired at him would be fatal. She'd make sure of that. That was also the reason she only fired one instead of three or five at a time. She still wasn't trying her hardest.

But Rael did want to strike him, that was for sure. He was fast, she knew that, but was he fast enough to dodge an arrow whizzing through the air?

Finally, a decent hit. He could have put more power behind it if he had the full intention of taking her down. Too bad he didn't, for the time being. Using such force to break through the floor, he was still airborne when the arrow came hurdling for him. The momentum of the punch caused him to spin.

Combo was good with calculating the trajectory of projectiles, but arrow trajectory wasn't something he was familiar with. Mid-spin, he reached for the arrow but his body was angled so it ripped through his side like a hot knife through butter. Not deep, but blood was definitely spilled.

"Good shot.." the fighter muttered, with his momentum halted by the arrow. This just left him to fall back into the hole he just created. Channeling his fall back through his leg and Celer, his body folded and he backflipped back into a stance. Hopefully from down here, he could prepare his ranged attack, so he began to load his right arm with Manus Arma while he kept his left arm on his wound.

Rael was done being on the defensive. It was high time she got on the offensive.

Her bow shimmered for a second and then disappeared. Then she up and ran towards the hole in the floor and jumped down, rolling when she hit the ground to distribute the shock throughout her body and avoid injury.

From a kneeling position on the ground, she summoned her bow again, which re-appeared immediately in her grip. Then three arrows materialized against the bowstring, all aimed and ready to go at her opponent.

Now that she had hit him once, her strategy was to whittle him down to nothing, one hit at a time. For now she would keep her distance until she could gather what sort of strategy he would be using. If she needed to go in close like she had in her last match, well then, so be it.

With one eye closed, she fired the arrows at Combo, half-hoping and half-knowing that her shots would hit true.

Combo has had worse wounds than this. He'd have to brush it off for now but he couldn't ignore it completely. With Rael on the pursuit, he couldn't prepare a ranged attack, but Manus Arma was ready for a high-powered attack. Seems like his opponent was starting to get serious. When Combo spotted her jumping down, he immediately rushed her before she could land.

Contego was ready to block the oncoming arrows, in which they did just that. Holding his hued hand of green out, he easily blocked the arrows. Celer closed the gap in next to no time flat and Arma rounded out the trio with the fighter launching his attack for Rael's arm, hoping to cripple her future ranged onslaught.

Rael being a ranged fighter, his best bet was to stick to Contego. If this attack connected, he'd have to swap back quickly. That or increase the distanc between them. This wasn't an average opponent, by any means.

(((Hey buddy. Uh, Rael isn't a ranged fighter. She is better at close combat. But when she can't get in close, she will use her ranged weapons. She is good with them, but it isn't her preferred style. I think I mention that in her bio... A few times.)))

Rael released a muffled sound of pain, as she didn't want to give her opponent any satisfaction that his hit had actually hurt. In reality, it hurt quite a bit. She managed to hang onto her bow without it shimmering away or dropping it (in which it would disappear before it hit the ground, Holy Weapons were not supposed to touch the ground).

"I just had that arm fixed!" Rael cried angrily, clutching at it with watering eyes. If she had to wear that God-forsaken sling again she was going to break Combo's neck, friend or not.

Rael glared ferociously at her opponent, then tossed her bow behind her back. It flickered in and out and finally disappeared right as it was going to touch the ground.

While her opponent was still close and before he had a chance to try and back away, Rael charged him, prepared to barrage him with an assault. She started with a Darma-reinforced high kick aimed for the head, which ended up with her turning around. In mid-turn, she drew her gun, and by the time she was facing him again, she had it aimed at his arm. She was hesitant, but would squeeze off a shot within the next few seconds if she deemed it necessary. If the kick did land, it would hurt like a motherf-- simply because she had Darma behind it to make it more powerful. It might even knock him back, or at least make him see stars.

Whether the Darma kick landed or not, she was still in a position of offense with her gun aimed at his arm. Maybe she could prevent him from using any of his stupid glow-y powers.

After all, it was an arm for an arm, right?

((Pancakes))

It was a nice, solid hit, but not strong enough. Rael was immediately back on the offensive. He already had gauged Rael's strength when they used to travel with each other, so he didn't expect much from the kick. Combo raised his arm for Contego to catch while he went for another strike, but this luminescent force around her leg seemed to provide a load of extra strength, which Combo wasn't familiar with. ((Don't remember if you used that in our old RP or not. If so, for the sake of the fight, let's say he forgot?))

Combo successfully caught her leg, but her Darma powers easily forced through Combo's gauged defensive response. If he put more strength behind it, then he might of blocked it, but the fighter was puzzled when the kick powered through, causing him to be hit in his face with the own repelling powers of Contego, backed by her kick. "Wha-..?" he let out, slowly turning his head in shock when the strike landed.

The force, backed by his own, sent Combo spiraling several yards to the side. He bumped and skidded against the ground before quickly gaining composure. Displaying advanced agility, he leapt back to his feet, putting a halt to the knockback. Still, adept in perception, he picked up on Rael drawing her gun. While Combo was in mid-flight, he had already began shifting the Arma energy in his arm back to Contego for added ranged defense.
