Company and Combat [Closed - Azure Blair]
« on: September 30, 2018, 11:53:08 AM »
In front of Catalina Glenn stood Azure Blair, the latest student resulting from the seemingly year-round enrollment procedure. The place is Beacon's Auditorium and they're specifically here instead of passing through it, so what would they be doing should be obvious, even to a mostly new student like Azure here.

"Ready when you are." While Catalina is no blood knight, he does need to fight and accustom himself to a larger variety of opponents if he were to challenge him. And so here stood him initiating Azure, thinking it as a mutually beneficial endeavor.

Combat stats:
Aura: 100% [#this is your Aura meter just like how it is in the show. It starts at 100% no matter how tough your Aura is and for the sake of this match 15% is the cutoff for determining the winner.]
Ammo for Take That!: 1 magazine of piercing rounds loaded/1 magazine of piercing rounds/1 magazine of explosive rounds/5 shocking rounds/5 heating rounds/1 freezing round [#this is where you put ammo for your guns, if any.]
Dust: 100% Fire/100% Earth/100% Lightning/100% Ice [#this is where you put you Dust stock. Types and amount vary.]
Semblance: 100% [#Put any variation of semblance 'mana' here.]

Action:

The sound of Azure’s footsteps, her black combat boots thudding quietly against the floor of the auditorium, were the only sound that echoed through the space. The chain that decorated the boots clicked lightly as she stepped. It was dark, but the lights, sensing motion, flickered to life as she walked through the room. She carried Renegade on her back, her right hand already reaching up, resting around the neck of the guitar in a light grasp, ready to pull it free and wield it as the shortest notice. Her black and blue hair was pulled back in a loose, messy fishtail braid. The braid had started off tighter that morning, but given Azure’s incessant playing with it, had begun to fall out over the course of the day.

Her navy eyes passed over the room, finding another student already in the ring. She was surprised to hear him speak, seeing as she had yet to make her presence clear to him. Not that she had been intentionally hiding, but she hadn’t been making much of a ruckus either. However, she recovered from her surprise quickly, letting a smirk spread across her lips, the challenge flashing in her eyes.

“I’m always ready,” she commented, pulling Renegade from her back. She pressed the tuning peg that doubled as an activation switch, the guitar coming to life. The dust core hummed quietly as blue aura crackled along the strings and body of the matte black weapon, the LED lights taking a few second to warm up, slowly increasing in brightness. The dark grey blades slid out from the body of the guitar with a click, their shiny surface dancing with hints of blue lights from the aura that ran like lightning up and down the instrument. The Dust fueled LED lights along the pickguard and pickups of the guitar had warmed up, glowing with an electric blue light. The strings stayed their normal steel grey, as the weapon had yet to be infused with Dust.

Azure’s white wolf tail swayed slightly, giving her balance as she got into a ready stance, spinning her axe in her hand. She had never been one to wait for the fight to come to her-- or to wait in general, really-- so it was no surprise when she made the first move.

Azure dashed across the expanse between her and the boy whose name she didn’t know. Shouldn’t it be common courtesy to ask one’s name before engaging in combat with them?. It probably was, but Azure had never been one to follow proper etiquette. Upon reaching him, she would bring Renegade up in diagonal slash, wielding it like the battle axe is resembled, with the intent of slashing upwards across her opponent's torso, moving in a left to right motion. She didn’t even stop to consider how the boy would react to her, or whether or not her attack would even be effective if it landed. All she saw was a battle, and she had charged straight in.

She would then jump back to put some distance between herself and her opponent while loading Dust into Renegade, slotting the crystal into where one would usual plug in an amp chord. Once loaded with Dust, Renegade’s strings would glow a bright orange. The gravity Dust in the metal bracelets she wore pulsed with black light as they paired with Renegade. The braceletes enabled her to use Renegade like a guitar without needing to use a strap; instead, the weapon would float at around abdomen height so she could play it.

Her fingers settled on the fret board, she began to play a simple riff to charge up a strike, before switching to an open chord. Playing the chord would release a wave of fire from the guitar, which spread out in a semi circle towards her opponent. Burn damage would be taken if the wave of fire landed.

Here we go. No name-giving, hand-shaking or anything like that, and Cat didn't get to redo his invitation? That could leave a bad impression. However, that will have to wait until after this.

Catalina readies his rifle, bending one knee to gain a better stance, aimed down his scope and had time to fire one shot before she got too close. He then leapt backwards, suffering the hit across his chest but gaining some distance. He intended to fire another round but seeing the fire wave incoming he had to jump over it first before landing at the same distance from her and preparing to fire again, with the gun pointing at the general direction of Azure's torso. The image of someone using a guitar to launch an AoE attack is almost comical, but that doesn't make it any less dangerous.

The bullet the boy fired grazed Azure’s left shoulder, she barely flinched at the pain. She could feel a thin trail of blood begin to drip down her arm, a quick glance told her the bullet had left a shallow cut. Her aura healed the injury quickly; it didn’t fix the hole in her black leather jacket, however. This ticked her off just a little bit. It was her favourite jacket, and she would rather it stay in one piece. Of course, it was mainly her fault for wearing it in combat-- she should have taken it off first-- but that didn’t stop her from being a little pissed about it.

“Dude, jacket,” she commented after she had followed through with her AoE attack and was standing a few yards from the boy. She quickly shrugged her jacket off, revealing the black and blue sports bra she wore beneath it as a top. Her lack of a proper shirt showed off her navel piercing, and the tattoo of a vine, decorated with flowers and thorns, that spread across the left side of her stomach. She tossed her jacket to the side of the ring, Renegade remaining in its place in the air due to the gravity Dust, before quickly grabbing her weapon as the boy fired once more. She flipped Renegade so it was vertical, the wide back of the guitar body deflecting the bullet.

Azure had never liked being on the defensive, had never liked being the one blocking hits. Even when it would be the least effective, Azure preferred to chose the offensive route. She felt like she was contributing more to the fight that way-- just standing around and blocking seemed pointless to her. Maybe it was because the last time she’d been mainly defensive she’d nearly killed half her class and gotten expelled from combat school. Maybe it was because she was just the type of person who had to be active and engaged all the time, who had to go go go every second of the day; the type of person who couldn’t stand to sit back away from the action when she knew she was capable of joining in. But no matter the reason, as soon as Azure had deflected the boy’s bullet she was back on the offensive.

She leapt forwards once more, flipping her guitar around so she was gripping it by the neck. She swung it as she approached her opponent, dropping low to swipe at his ankles with the blade. She would use the moment of her swing to carry herself forward, sliding on her knees to the boy’s other side, leaping to her feet behind him. From this, there were two possible outcomes.

If successful, she would immediately launch another attack, swinging her axe while aiming towards his neck, a move she only made because she knew the boy was more than capable of blocking it. Had it been a student at any other school besides the most prestigious combat school in all of Remnant, she would never have aimed a potentially fatal strike. But this was Beacon, the best of the best, so she knew the blow would not end with the loss of a head.

If her first attack, the one on the boy’s legs, went unsuccessfully, she would slam a wind Dust crystal into Renegade and use it to launch herself in the air in order to both free herself and to ready another attack.

Cat got to appreciate the body art on his opponent for just long enough to accidentally ignore the comment on the jacket and not long enough to ignore the low sweep.

In response to the attack, he jumped over the slash, and before Azure manages to insert the wind Dust crystal to blast herself away he planted one of his feet on the guitar and stepped the other on it. This way it turns into a strength test for her: will she manage to flip him off and over, yank the guitar out from under his foot, or do something else entirely? Of course, Cat wouldn't let her choose one so easily, so he quickly put another shot towards Azure to force her to abandon the guitar so he can fight with a big advantage.

Mentally, Cat noted that this simply isn't going to happen to Zabar, but against wide weapon wielders this could be useful.

Azure scowled as the boy stepped onto her guitar, yanking it from her hands so it was flush against the ground. If he had scratched it, things would not be pretty... Renegade was her pride and joy, and if some measly, slenderman-esq boy had damaged it, then Azure would be raising hell in a heartbeat.

As per usual, she hadn’t thought her actions through-- she had just assumed it would all go fine-- and was now suffering the consequences of her lack of strategy. For a split second, she was at a complete loss for what do to; she thought she could bullshit her way out of any scenario the sparring match put her in, like she always seemed to do. But not this time, this time her mind drew a blank. Never, in all her years of combat training, had she had someone stand on her guitar. It was completely unethical! And not mention disrespectful too! One does not stand on another’s guitar! How dare he‽

As soon as her mind managed to catch up to the fact that the boy was standing on her guitar, she would quickly drag her hand over the strings to play an open chord. The fire dust still loaded in her weapon would explode right beneath the boy’s feet. She rolled out of the way of this as she did to avoid the blast. This would happen at the same time the boy shot at her; her roll caused her to miss a full of blow, but she was still hit. After all, she couldn’t move faster than a bullet, as much as she wished she could.

She climbed to her feet to face the boy, Renegade still where she had left it. With a flick of her wrist she reactivated her bracelets, the black glow lighting up again. A second later, they flashed white as they paired with her guitar; the guitar, pulled by the gravity dust, would quickly skid across the floor, leaping into her hands. She smirked a lit as she started up a song to charge up another attack. The orange glow of Renegade’s strings pulsed as they charged up with the fire dust, the glow brightening the longer she played. She strummed several chords chords in a row to release a series of waves of fire, before going back to her song to charge up another attack.

Of course. Not realizing the Guitar actually still had Dust in it Catalina got caught completely unsuspecting and got knocked right off the Guitar. Rolling back away Cat got to his feet without much problem. Then he tried to dance across the fire blast sent out in a chord of a song, doing front flips and running jumps which manages to avoid all but one of the fire wave incoming towards him.

Despite being partially dodged both times he still believes in his ability to do close-range gunfights. Rushing straight into the close guard of Azure Cat attempted to level his rifle and put it beyond even Renegade to a distance where she is almost being stabbed by the barrel of the gun. If he can get that to happen then without the need of aiming Cat can quickly pull the trigger and fire another shot in a way much more likely to hit, otherwise he is going to transform his weapon into the hammer form and engage in proper melee form then on.

It appeared the boy Azure was fighting had missed a crucial lesson in combat: guns are hard to use against a melee fighters. Specifically, guns are hard to use against Azure. With her lack of coordination and her entirely sporadic methods of attack, guns would probably be hard to aim. There was no method to her fighting, which was her greatest advantage; it made it a lot harder for her opponents to predict her next moves. Hell, it was probably impossible to predict her next moves, given Azure herself never even knew what her next move would be.

Because of this, it probably came as surprise to both of them (Azure definitely surprised herself) when, instead of doing the logical thing of either blocking the gun or trying to dodge the bullet, she reached up and grabbed the gun barrel-- still hot from the last shot-- with her bare hand. Unfortunately for her, today was not one of the days in which she was wearing gloves-- she often wore fingerless leather gloves that maybe have helped in keeping her hand protected when she grabbed the gun. As she lacked gloves, it was up to aura to keep her palm from searing. She also realized, like a dumbass, that she didn’t know what she would one she had grabbed the gun. She ended up sort of shoving it away from herself. Had she not had her aura up, the blast would have taken her left ear clean off.

Azure’s action to grab the gun would have a second effect as well. Given her bracelets were still activate (they worked as though they had a magnetic hold on the guitar) her guitar would swing up as well, following after her hand. It’s blades still active, it would move in a path towards somewhere along Cat’s torso. If impact occurred, it would a great deal less force behind it than if she had been swinging it intentionally, but it might cause a bit of surprise.

Azure would then load wind Dust into Renegade while flipping over Cat’s head. She would play a chord to release a gust of wind, using it to blast herself further up into the air. She would twist midair to face Cat, switching to ice Dust while playing, thus launching a pray of hale towards her opponent. She would land somewhat ungracefully, her aura taking the force of the impact.

Cat was certainly surprised when he saw his gun grabbed but more so when he managed to just pull the trigger and did damage anyway. As for Renegade, Cat never even noticed it hit him, much less mounting a defense. After gaining back control over his gun he hurriedly transformed it into the sledgehammer form, the sound of it clanking and clicking alternates with the sound of the ice shard hitting as Catalina charged straight through the hail to the predicted landing spot of Azure. Intending to deal much damage in one blow, Cat leapt forth and attempted to slam down at where she would land. Once she got him to use his semblance, that would be when it's on.

Azure didn’t have time to move out of the way before Cat’s sledge hammer came flying at her. Her fingers leapt to the fret board to push herself back with a blast of wind Dust, but before she could play the chord the head of the hammer was colliding forcefully with the body of her guitar, sending her flying. Renegade blocked most of the force of the hit, but did nothing to lessen the impact of her body against the wall. Azure was pretty sure the wall cracked from the force of her slamming into it.

“Damn...” she mused, climbing to her feet once she’d landed-- none too gracefully-- on the ground. Her aura would have taken a severe blow from attack, and the crashing into the wall part, but Azure wouldn’t notice. She never checked her scroll during combat, she never paid attention to her aura. She figured she’d just fight until she started taking real injuries, and even then, why should that mean she should stop, when she could just grit her teeth and deal with the pain? If she no longer had the protective shield of aura, then it would just add an extra challenge, she would just have to be more careful to not take any serious hits.

Azure loaded a mix of fire and lightning Dust into Renegade, before charging at Cat. She would feint left, before switching to the right to aim a blow at Cat’s torso. Her guitar would be angled in a somewhat downwards, diagonal strike, positioned so that the face of the guitar body would aiming at Cat’s head. Or, around that area. As she was swinging down, she would simultaneously drag one hand across the fretboard to send a wave of fire and lightning Dust towards Cat.

Alright, here's a good full hit. While waiting for Azure to get back to the fighting Cat loaded some of his fire dust into his hammer. It could be easily seen from even as far as she is, so it could be fairly obvious what Cat will do next.
When Azure started charging, Cat prepares himself as Azure charges and when she got just out of melee range, Catalina pulls the trigger with a click. After that comes a vroom.
A blazing heat bursts forth from Catalina's hammer, the Dust-powered fire covering a meter or two in front of him with a fairly large spread. Flamethrower in the face, works every time, except that one time. Let's see what she pulls in response to his counter-AoE.

At Cat’s burst of fire, Azure quickly spun Renegade in her hand as she leapt up, holding the weapon like a guitar as she played a chord, releasing a blast of wind dust. She used the blast of air to propel herself over the wave of fire, landing on the other side of Cat. Moving effortlessly, as if it were second nature, she deactivated Rock-- her right bracelet-- in order to wield Renegade like an axe. She would then go through with the previously mentioned attack of aiming a heavy strike at Cat’s head while simultaneously blasting fire and lightning at him at close proximity.

She would then leap back to gain some breathing room, and, hopefully, giving herself a moment to replace the fire dust in her guitar, as it had been running low from such frequent use.

Cat took the initiative and brought up his hammer for a large swing. But that revealed to be a feint as Azure struck him across his torso with Renegade and proceeding to unleash two close-proximity waves in his face. He got hit with the full power of the first wave but thanks to that managed to dodge the second, lightning wave in limbo and not get shocked.

After that comes Cat's counterattack while she is trying to replace her dust. Firstly is a large swing, the wind up already done on the way running towards Azure. No matter if it was a hit or miss, Cat would swing it all the way back and reverse his grip on the hammer, using the sharpening barrel as a spear to poke Azure at her chest twice, then once more at her stomach.

Azure was pleased with her solid hit, hoping it had brought Cat’s aura down a significant amount. She got her fire Dust implanted into Renegade in time, but didn’t have time to use it as Cat was soon swinging at her with his hammer. She gripped Renegade’s handle and brought her axe up to block his attack, feeling the vibrations from the collision shiver down her arms. She would then flip Renegade around so the back of the guitar body would block the spear attacks.
   She would then take the offensive and swing Renegade, aiming at Cat’s neck. If successful, she would then spin around him, while flipping her grip on Renegade, and stab at Cat’s back using the sharp point of Renegade’s headstock.

Impressive, not only she managed to block every attack of his, she didn't move an inch while hard blocking a freakin' sledgehammer swing with plenty of winding up. But if she did it so can he.
Or maybe not, as the next hit lands he remembered that his skills at melee by itself are mediocre at best and what made him able to keep up with his betters in the matter are. Cat ran forward in response to being outmaneuvered and avoiding the poke that way and turned back when they are about an arm's reach from her.
He attempts to take the proactive position with another round of pressing attacks, first bringing down the hammer from an overhead position, carried out at the same time as him circling his left leg around her right trying to disrupt her balance. If that wasn't enough he also prepared an attack at her guts using his semblance.
Two objects with the shape of spikes protrude from Catalina's field of Aura, going at a straight line that targets both sides of Azure's stomach.
They didn't see any action up until that point, and in a way that hopefully won't get noticed as easily too.
