Axelito's asskicking

[{Son of a Battlecry}]

((Ok, where do you wanna fight?))  

[Shin Huchiro]

As the su shined bright in the sky tarik walks to the bridge...

Tarik* I wonder if this bridge will last long*

Tarik then tries to walk across the bridge...  

[{Son of a Battlecry}]

... target in sight, preparing to engage.
Roger that "Light-nin", remember to keep the artifact safe.
... don't I always?
Must you be remembered about Barton arena?
... see? Now why you gotta be a d**k about it?
.........
... yeah, whatever, I'm going in.


Just as the final flying macaw finished it's call above the bridge, a single kunai flew from between the broken boards headed right at Tarik's head. The kunai is black as coal with red paper wrapped around it's handle, that is if one could see it at the speed it flew.  

[Shin Huchiro]

Tarik hears the kunai headed his way and quickly jumps up to the upper rails of the bridge, in an attempt to dodge the kunai.
Tarik than takes a defensive stance with his cane.

Tarik* show yourself*  

[{Son of a Battlecry}]

Yeah right... The ninja smirked under it's crimson scarf, and let the kunai fly right into a nearby tree. As soon as Tarik landed on the upper rails he begins to display hand sign after hand sign, about two seconds later two more kunai fly at Tarik, but this time from the cracks right below him(making it harder to hear and almost impossible to dodge.

Yeah right... The ninja smirked under it's crimson scarf, and let the kunai fly right into a nearby tree. As soon as Tarik landed on the upper rails he begins to display hand sign after hand sign, about two seconds later two more kunai fly at Tarik, but this time from the cracks right below him(making it harder to hear and almost impossible to dodge.

As Tarik hears the kunai land on the nearby tree and some words, although not able to tell what his opponent said, he begins to feel an amount of energy from someone (tarik felt the energy as his opponent made his hands signs). Presuming the worst Tarik jumps spinning to the entrance of the bridge and as he spins he unsheathed his rapier slashing anything that would get close to him before he landed.  

[{Son of a Battlecry}]

The two kunai that missed Tarik and flew up into the sky suddenly exploded into two clouds of smoke and from it emerged two dozen needles that fell onto the old rackity brigde, and some on the river under it. SHI- A loud scream was heard from right under the middle of the bridge and imediately exploded into a third cloud of smoke.

His athletic prowess was obvious, but not surprising since the Spiral had told him about his fencing style, and the rapier he now held was just a big "yup" on the info.

As the wind blew the three clouds of smoke away from the scene it all became suddenly quite again, until two gloved hand's erupted from the soil right under Tarik. The hands made a quick latch onto Tarik's both ankles and attempted to pull him into the whole under him.  

[Shin Huchiro]

As Tarik lands he feels the ground moving from were the 2 hands appeared grabing his ankles. As Tarik feels both hand pulling him underground he quickly stabs the ground right in between the 2 hands with his rapier, held in his left hand, and with his right hand, were he held the cane were he hid his rapier, he tosses it towards a nearby tree.

Tarik *who are you and why do you attack me?*  

[{Son of a Battlecry}]

Tarik's blade hit ground(literally), as it stabbed the hands let go and suddenly vanished in another puff of smoke, revealing his rapier had stabbed almost through a two feet wide wooden trunk that was now half buried under him. Making it very hard for him to remove the blade much less move himself, seeing as he too was buried knee-deep.

AJA! GOTCHA!

At the same time that this happens, from the nearby tree, Akima drops down(literally upside down, as he holding onto the tree with his legs) and reaches out to the sheathe that was being tossed. Now he was known to be a very smart ninja, even clever at times... but he was much more renounced for being perhaps the clumsiest ninja ever.

I GOT IT!

Perhaps it was the excitement, or maybe it was the fact that he was upside down, but for whatever reason just as the sheath was heading for his hands he manages to miss-calculate the speed the sheath had. And so instead of greeting it with his hands, he met the sheathe face-to-covered face.  

[Shin Huchiro]

Tarik pulls on his rapier buried on the ground, loosening his legs. Also as he does he pulls his sheathe towards him with a thin wire attached to it...
unfortunately the wire snaps wile the sheathe is halve way towards Tarik, thus the sheathe landed to far from tariks reach at the moment.

Tarik*SHUT!!! I knew I should have gotten the more expensive wire.*  

[{Son of a Battlecry}]

"Light-nin"! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! FOCUS!

As he held his now painful face, the loud voice boomed into Akima's headset causing him to grunge at the new source of discomfort. Nonetheless it actually made him aware of the situation and immediately he dropped down from the tree and landed on one knee. With his left hand Akima reached behind him and under his jacket, pulling out a large war kunai, while his right hand moved in front of his opponent and began to display hand signs. Causing the log of wood Tarik was under to begin glowing a bright yellow for a brief second before exploding into a fire pillar that would otherwise create second degree burns on non-covered areas of the body, everything else will be set on fire.  

[Shin Huchiro]

As soon as Tarik felt the heat and his rapier loosening up, he dashes forward towards were akima stands with his now red hot rapier pointed at him, tarik now knows were he is because he can seance his energy... that and all the screaming he has been doing. As Tarik dashes he takes off his outer jacket before he is covered in flames, since it cought flames from the explosion.  

[{Son of a Battlecry}]

The moment Tarik moved into his offensive stance, Akima flipped over his kunai to hold the ring tip of the knife, then dissapeared from sight. The second after he reapeared in front of Tarik in a sideways stance, with his left side facing him and the kunai's ring tip at the tip of the rapier. The rapier would go into the ring and be trapped as Akima quickly moved the ring further down the blade and upwards, away from him. The sudden jerk in motion would divert Tarik's movement and pretty much render him open for Akima's counter attack.

Imediately as Akima moves Tarik's rapier upwards, in hopes that his arm would also move with the blade, he winds up a punch behind him. His right hand is crackling with electricity as he makes a tiger claw and then executes it. At lightning speeds Akima delivers a shocking tiger claw right at Tarik's face, the punch is meant to do three things: paralize, pain and take his white head band off.  

[Shin Huchiro]

As akima pushes tariks rapier upward and he unleashes his attack at him, tarik grouches down so that akimas right hand passes over his head and as he does he places his right hand on the ground.

Tarik*now now no roughhousing on the first date.*

At the same time that tarik was saying this, tarik pulls his rapier downward and also to the right.
