So had another fight themed RP with my buddy phoenixrage16 This time featuring his earth phoenix, and girlfriend to Korban, Tsume Mondiale and my Lucario, Luke.

Ladies and gentlefurrs....

...IT'S TIME FOR A DEATH BATTTTLLLLEEEEEEE!!!!


Luke was sitting cross legged in a metidative state, then slowly opens his eyes and rises to hsi feet, turning to his opponnent. "...Well...shall we begin...?" He gets into a stance, preparing for battle.

Tsume steps into the field, brandishing her katars and stancing herself. "Underestimating me... is a sure way to get your ass handed to you." She chuckled. "Can you handle this?"

It's the battle of the century!!

FIGHT!!!

Luke studied Tsume closely, eying her weapons, her physical form and sensing her aura, then he brought both paws together and spread them out, creating a bone composed of aura energy. He spun it a few times and prepared his Bone Rush attack. "...Ladies first"

"Bad idea," she said. Luke suddenly felt something whip around his ankles and yoink his feet out from under him. Luke grunted and felt himself get yanked up into the air, flailing a bit before striking the vine with an aura infused paw, freeing himself and quickly dashing to her, but then, right before his eyes, she suddenly vanished, seemingly dropping down, but when he looked down, there was no sign of her except for disturbed soil where her feet had been... nobody could be that fast. Where'd she go? Luke looked around a bit, then closed his eyes and calmly searched for her Aura signal; his ears pricking a few times then he turned to where he felt she would pop up next and fired an Aura Sphere before rushing in again at inhuman speeds. She sprang out of the ground just as he expected, and she narrowly evaded the aura sphere. "Whoa! Son of a bitch...!" She barked in surprise.

"Too slow!" He remarked and swung his bone at her hard, which she blocked; bringing up her katar she blocked the swing of the weapon with the steel-coated wrist portion, then retaliated by crouching down and reverse-spin kicking him, talons outstretched. Luke lifted one his legs and parried her attack, then he backed up a bit and assaulted her with a barrage of strikes. He was wielding the bone very expertly like a bo staff, constantly switching up his attack style as he struck. She was just as nimble and expert in maneuvering as he, and blocked his attacks with her katars. At one point, she pressed something in the gauntlets, and the weapons popped open, becoming 3 blades instead of just one on both, and she caught Luke's weapon in both, pushing it aside before she sprang up, throwing her legs around his neck, then leaning back, pulling him off of his feet and slamming him face-first into the dirt with her momentum. Luke grunted when he hit the ground, then immediately sprang back up and whipped his tail at her before breaking his bone into two, then he used them as props, entangling them onto her Katars and lifting himself into the air, slamming his feet into her face before backing up and firing a few more Aura Sphere's at her, regaining his posture and twirling each bone fragment now like a pair of fighting sticks. Tsume, despite the kick to the face, managed to dodge the Aura Sphere's, and stomping her feet on the floor, several chunks of rock bursting out of the floor, and then launching them at Luke. Luke weaved through each rock then he seemingly just dissapeared. He then was at her blindspot and held the point of one of his sticks at her neck. "Yield...."

"Not today!" she batted the stick away and kicked him in the head. Luke recoiled and he backed up a little, his bones dissipating into nothing, then he brought his head down and his eyes flashed a bit.

"...Very well....then I will hold back no longer!!" He roared as he tensed his body and a blue flickering Aura flame surrounded his body, empowering his muscles as it burned gently around him. "Prepare yourself!" He announced as he got ready to charge at her. She brought up a wall of stones to intercept him, pelting him front all around with hard stones of varying shapes and sizes. Luke shielded himself, then roared as he spread his arms out and used a full body blast to repel the attacks, then rushed in with a hard combo aimed at her head, neck and torso, aiming to strike certain pressure points then quickly moving behind her and striking her neck. She was quicker than he expected, ducking left, right, even somersaulting back, avoiding his strikes, before countering with a jab for his stomach. Luke let out an agonized howl and backed up, stumbling a little, his aura flame dying down slightly, but still present. He looked up and smirked at her. "...you're really good...I'm actually having fun for once...you are a worthy opponent..."

"I can be a lot of fun in more ways than one, pal," she said, winking, before she came at him again with a flurry of strikes.

Luke's flame started up again and he blocked and parried each of Tsume's attacks. He smirked as he got the hint and grabbed both her talons in his paws, engaging in a power struggle with her. "I suppose I should take you up on that offer one day...." He said through grunts, straining to overpower her.

"You could, but then Korban would probably kill you," she said. She knew she had to end this quickly; there's no way she could overpower Luke in a contest of strength.

Luke groaned as he started to step forward, trying to force Tsume into submission. He even started to twist her wrists into an agonizing position. "You can't win...surrender"

"Oh kiss my sexy ass," she said, before she actually head-butt Luke right in the forehead. Her head was... amazingly solid. Luke grunted a bit and stumbled. While the attack itself didn't hurt much, it was enough to cause him to lose his focus and power down momentarily. Tsume came in again with another reverse kick, essentially clawing him across the face with her talons. Luke howled out as the claws dragged along his face, sending him skidding along the ground. He slowly got to one knee, holding his cheek and growling angrily at her. She restanced herself, her gaze meeting his for a moment, until she flexed her talons. "Tough skin you've got... you dulled my talons."

"I'm part Steel type...my body is very resistant to most elements...." He replied, slowly getting to his feet, debating to himself whether or not he should resort to his next state, or his trump card. Both would take a large toll on him and leave him heavily fatigued should he fail to finish her quickly, but it seemed she was done messing around. She began to spin herself, creating a cloud of sand that whirled around her. Luke growled and made his decision; he brought his arms in front of his face and growled as he tensed hsi body, his flame starting to change, growing larger and more wild and untamed.

But then he felt a kick from behind, sending him sprawling forward. "No way I'm letting you pull another fast one, buddy." Luke tumbled along the ground and roared out, now full of fury, he unloaded a barrage of Aura spheres at her in rapid succession. She spiralled and danced out of the way, avoiding the onslaught, but one struck her and sent her staggering. Luke saw his opening and dashed up, mercilessly unleashing a brutal combo on her before sending an aura sphere to the ground below her, creating a large plume of smoke and debris that blinded her. When it was partially clear, Luke was nowhere to be found. She staggered again after all the strikes, but righted herself, and looked around for Luke, trying to sense any footsteps through the ground.

There was the sound of a multitude of energy being gathered at one point, and behind her was Luke holding a heavily condensed ball of aura energy in his paws. "You were a worthy opponent miss, but now It's time to bring this fight to a close!!!" he roared and thrusted his paws forward. "AURA STORM!!!" He roared from the ball of aura shot out a massive beam of aura, barreling toward Tsume, destroying everything in its path. Tsume immediately ducked below the ground, zipping through it like a torpedo to avoid the attack. The beam shot right over her, even slamming into a faraway mountain, disintegrating it almost instantly before it finally faded, leaving Luke extremely fatigued and panting heavily.

Tsume suddenly sprang up behind him. "Overkill is a double-edged sword," she said before she struck him with the blunt of her katar. "It cuts two ways, not just one."

Luke grunted out and fell to his knees, still panting heavily and slowly glancing up at her, struggling to maintain consciousness. "D-damn...."

"Don't worry; just stunned you," she said. "You'll be okay."

Luke closed his eyes and sighed heavily. "...fine...I concede..." he said, feeling slightly embarrased that he lost to a woman, though at the same time he was proud to have finally found a worthy opponent in Tsume. He looked back up at her with a small smile. "Next time though, the outcome will be different..."

She leaned down, raising his face to eye level with her. "We'll see about that," and with that she put a surprise kiss on his face and then vanished into the ground. Luke's eyes widened in surprise and it took him a moment to fully understand what just happened. He smiled a little and slowly got to his feet, limping back to his camp and sighing softly.

Winner!

Tsume Mondiale!!

Tsume emerged from the ground, rubbing her blades together. "This rose has thorns, boys." She closes the blades into one again. "Very sharp ones."
