Shining Glory [Arena]

[Draven]

Orientation of restroom:

"At the end of the right most shelves, hidden from her view, was a restroom."

Starting at first explosion:

"If the bolt wasn't impeded, it would collide with the opposite wall and blow up in a vibrant violet explosion,"

The explosion would go off as soon as Draven completed his his mental focus. This would level the area. This would also trigger his Faking the Dead technique. As the fire enveloped around him, his shroud would prevent the attack from harming him. A crispy illusionary corpse would fall down to the ground and should Tarah fail a mental check, she would be non the wise as to its falseness... The copse would be burnt bloodies and half berried by the debris. Draven himself would have been protected from the blast and its effects as he was enveloped by the blast via this imaginary scenario that triggered into existence around him.

Second Explosion:

"If the opposite library wall was destroyed by her initial explosion, Tarah's next attack would be concentrated in her right fist."

Draven didn't have much time. He would stand on top of his illusionary corpse on top of the rubble. On the bright side...very bright side... he could see his opponent without her seeing him... Draven produced a technique in the middle of Tarah's charge. What would be produced is 25 Shadow Sentinels directly around Tarah. 5 of these Sentinels would be directly around her, to her north, northeast, east, west, and westnorth, each of these within her personal space, flanking and within a swords reach. As soon as they appeared Draven would command them to attack.

The 5 closest to her would all attempt to strike with their shadowy blades dealing an appropriate amount of damage per Sentinel. The next rank was about 10 of them and if they could they would push their swords around the 5 in front of them. Each having 3 movements to produce piercing attacks. Each attack would need a mental check from Tarah and if she fails would suffer the pain. The 10 other sentinels behind the second ranks waiting for their turn.

Finally before Tarah was half way to producing the second explosion when Draven would have the flock of crows tattoo leap from his foot. This would look as if they had come from the illusionary corpse on the ground. There would be 25 small 1inch wingspan crows and they would all grow to that of a 1 foot wingspan. All 25 would explode out in a shotgun pattern toward Tarah's direction. In theory a few would hit and She would need another mental check else suffer the claws and beaks of these black birds... If she tried to maneuver, there would be some of these crows to meet her. Hopefully this would be enough to stop her.

Third and Fourth explosion:

"If Tarah didn't hear anything about being declared the winner, she would unleash a third and fourth explosion at the same caliber as the second. If nothing disrupted her, she would aim the third explosion to detonate ten meters left from the second explosion, while the fourth explosion would detonate ten meters right form the second explosion."

The fourth explosion would hit Draven hard. His Finite life would kick in should that be within the rules of the Arena, but his skin would be chard. Since this is considered an organ it would take 3 seconds to heal thus he would be laying on the ground invisible next to his illusionary corpse. There still might be a chance if not for the continued fireballs. Though that was if and only if Tarah could figure out a way to navigate around the crows to avoid the 25 shadow sentinels to continue these attacks.

[Nira]

Faceless.

They appeared in front of her, those without features to define their head. They were armed as well, each with a sword. The first five appeared around her, with their swords in melee distance.

For some reason, they didn't show any heat signatures in the thermal lens of Tarah's mono-goggle. They were clearly clones of some sort, but they had no effect at all with the temperature of the world.

<Roll Disbelief for Sentinels>
<Resistance is 18 vs all Gen, 20 vs Shadow>

Tarah stopped her attack, because she was being confronted. Before the faceless crowd could converge their attacks on her, she dashed through them with an instant movement.

A motionless afterimage was left behind, which would receive their attacks.

She moved and evaded the clones like she would avoid the trees in a dense forest. While moving through the crowd, she would also step over and past any rumble and debris. Upon completing her instant movement, she would have move away from the faceless, out of the reception area, and to the decimated center of what was formally the library. Since the faceless ones appeared so close, she would be more than five meters away from the nearest one now.

Before Tarah made another movement, she noticed something else odd in front of her.

She didn't see any corpse underneath all the dusty rubble and debris, but there was something standing right in front of her.

Tarah's right eye saw nothing. It was completely hidden from her natural vision.

The mono-goggle contradicted that view. The thermal lens saw a heat signature, even as the heat of her explosion rose up and away. It didn't show anything consistent, but it was definitely man-sized.

Draven's invisibility jutsu was immune to more visions and senses than Tarah knew how to use. Vibrations, tremors, scent, and even life, but it didn't do anything to erase his thermal signature. Genjutsu wasn't something that affected technology, so nothing impeded Tarah's mono-goggle from sending her left eye information about the presence of a human-sized pillar of heat.

Something was definitely there, so Tarah was going to attack it.

In the next moment, Tarah would have shunshined forward again, until she was standing within arms reach of the heat signature.

Her left fist shot forward, taking about a fourth of how much time it usually took. Her attack was quicker than usual because she sacrificed some precision in return for speed. She didn't need excessive amounts of accuracy. If there was someone there, her left fist just needed to nick her foe, and it would be enough for the melody arm's shock enhancement to stun its body.

Hopefully the heat signature wasn't of one of those ninjutsu users that set up the arena. Was there a penalty for attacking those people? Well, their fault for standing around in the middle of a battle.

Regardless, Tarah would do her best to keep the heat signature within melee range.

The punches were faster than the crows could rise and attack, as it took place in the space of about one sixth of a second. But if the attack failed, it was likely that crows would rise up from beneath her feet.

If her target was hit by her first left punch, the shock enhancement would run a current through its entire body, stunning it for however much time. Thus, if the first hit was successful, Tarah would likely encounter little resistance with the rest of her attacks.

Her first punch was followed by three more. Her right hand was next, with the melody arm that carried the freezing cryo enhancement. If that second punch made contact, it would freeze a third of a meter of whatever it struck. Depending on the body part hit, movements with anything involving the frozen area could be severely restricted.

The last two punches were another left and right set again. Each punch was pretty devastating on its own. If both left punches hit, the chance of an long period of stun was likely. If both right punches hit, two large parts of the target's body could end up frozen.

Tarah's four punches were not precise, but she aimed them all towards the general center of the heat signature.

Tarah's first left and right punches also had their punching sound amplified, as the melody arms did. However, oddly enough, there would be no sound at all in this area, so that would do nothing.

The first four strikes already carried the unwavering determination to kill. Though it would just be a wasted movement if no one stood there.

-1 Movement used
-4 Punches: 2 Left, 2 Right
-Left Punches: 40 Blunt (Fury of Blows) + 40 Blunt (A Rank Gauntlet Damage) + 20 Electrical (Shock) + 10 (Alter Ego Striking Bonus) = 110 Armor Points
-Right Punches: 40 Blunt (Fury of Blows) + 40 Blunt (A Rank Gauntlet Damage) + 20 Cold (Cryo) + 10 (Alter Ego Striking Bonus) = 110 Armor Points

-1d4 roll for number of movements stunned per successful hit with a left punch, does not stack.

Tarah wore both of her melody arms. The one on her right glowed blue with cryo, while the one on her left glowed yellow with shock. A mono-goggle covered her left eye, ready to switch between its four lens. It was currently set on thermal, so everything in her vision was rendered in heat as well as light. Tarah's shins were covered with a pair of half-greaves. Her body was covered in her KMP uniform, although she removed all the badges and identification. A disruptor was in her right hip pocket.

Unfortunately Draven would steal leave foot prints and make noise. The depression from his feet would be seen upon the illusionary corpse.

Draven: 100 Armor Points
Since it takes one round to grow back that is not three seconds. It will be grown back by the end of your next post.

Nira would not be able to disbelieve the sentinels but her dodge took her away from them quicker than they could attack. This would take her outside the flock as well, for the most part. She would take one straight to the face as she shunshined forwards. Ouch. She'd get there and unleash her flurry of punches all the same. Gogogo!

[Draven]

Draven most definitely ate some fire there. His body was in pain but he was a shinobi. He will give his blood to the last drop to meet his objective... Thus the crows would continue. If Tarah wished to continue the shunshin into the shotgun of crows coming at her, then she will find more and more. Though would it be enough for her to simply divert her path or avoid the situation...

The crow that smacked her in the face would latch onto her cheek with its claws. It would attempt to peck at her eyes if it could. Furthermore this was now that standing order with all the crows to fly to her position, latch on to preferably the face and start pecking. The whole cloud of crows if Draven could do it...

Though this wouldn't be enough... The situation was becoming dire. Draven already found out that range wasn't the answer. The way the women was coming at him indicated that close combat was most likely a bad idea. So what to do...

Draven wouldn't stop with his crows until Tarah was face to face with him attacking him. No instead the other crow would make its appearance. The flock would simply disappear since he would release the control from them. The crow on his chest would leap from it and grow in size to have a wingspan of 10 feet. It would be kicking, pecking and flapping its wings. So rather than the heat image of him, Tarah would most likely have this giant bird blot out her vision in more than one way...

Meanwhile...

The Sentinels would take notice eventually that they where hitting air. They would turn around to see where Tarah's new location would be. They would all move to try to get to her position though they would be spread out a bit due to the repositioning. If Tarah kept with her second shunshin they would be at the 10 meter mark in a spread out grouping. They would be roughly 3 meters apart from one another with the first rank of 10 then the next 10 behind them followed by the last 5.

After all said and done the 10 sentinels where ready to skewer Tarah just as she was ready to strike. So it comes down to if her actions are continued so are the sentinels... Could she avoid or withstand the strikes. Would Draven's crow beat Tarah back? Who's to say....

The f...

Something hit Tarah in the face, so she halted her direct shunshin to the heat source.

A flock of crows had somehow burst from under the heat signature's feet to attack her. She was pretty sure that the heat pillar was her enemy, now. She knew she had to take it out before getting overwhelmed by all the summoned creatures.

While a crow was still latched unto her, she moved again with her shunshin. Instead of going up directly to the heat signature, she arced around and appeared behind it. An after image would be left behind where she stood, though she wasn't sure if that would fool her foe for long. Her right eye was able to see the incoming faceless army, though her shunshin moved much faster than their running.

Then again, even if they were fast enough to get in her way, her arc shunshin would just be used to get around them as well.

If Draven went through with his giant crow attack, the smaller crow on Tarah's face would probably disappear. Though if it stayed on to claw at her, Tarah would just bare the scratches and pecks to land her punches on the heat signature. Her plan was still to use the same set of four gauntlet-enhanced punches within her single movement.

Upon completing the arc shunshin, if there were no further obstructions, Tarah would use the four punch combo that she intended to use after her direct shunshin. If the target was previously facing her, then her new angle of attack would be aimed at its back.

However, this time, she planned to add some firepower behind her punches. She didn't use explosive force, since she was too close to her target, but a powerful stream of fire was release at the end of each punch to inflict large amounts of fire damage. It wouldn't prevent the cold damage from her right fists, but the cryo enhancement's ability to freeze would likely be negated by burns instead.

The four additional fire streams had much more accuracy than Tarah's punches, since they were each as wide as a human torso.

[As a reminder you are free to do anything in this event, you may leave the main group if you so choose. Additional threads will be made as needed]

A man in plate armor would appear and find the male. He passed him a letter silently before turning and walking away. Seemingly he knew who the male was on sight and needed no further confirmation. The letter was written in common.

[Damien Krauss]

A larger man took up his gamble which had been the first bit of relief El Ninja received upon entering. A grin was on his face as he dropped off a pouch filled with his own 10000 ryo on the desk; before El Ninja went with the man to the spectator area.

The fight between two shinobi was spectacular. Fire was being thrown around almost reklessly. Beings were created from seemingly nothing. The two combatents were on a high level it was a crazy sight. El Ninja didn't want to look away but an armor man entered the spectator zone and gave him a letter. There was concealed surprise when the letter was addressed to his birth given name. Whoever these guys were they knew who he was. El Ninja frowned he wanted to see the end of the battle but this news seemed important. Turning to his fellow spectator he spoke, "Sorry to leave you during this battle but I have to go. May the odds be with you if not ill collect my winnings later.

El Ninja stood from his seat in the spectator zone and made his way towards the exit of the arena. It was going to bother him not knowing how this fight would end. He hoped upon his return there would be a pile of money for him.

The Charging Darkness...

The first rank of 10 sentinels would lunge their blades through air once again. But they wouldn't stop their charge as they continued their motion... The afterimage would be impaled but with a lack of body or flesh to sink their blades into they would continue their course with their blades pointed forward. The following 10 sentinels following 5 meters behind, followed by the final 5 sentinels 5 meters behind them...

Draven knew

---

Draven was no spring chicken. It was obvious that his farce was found out. His invisibility was somehow being worked around. He also could tell the afterimage was false. No chakra and his clone detection could easily see through that. Not to mention Tarah's chakra signature suddenly appearing behind him. The was no reason to initiate the large crow on his chest. So he kept the flock active. He knew what was to come next. An attack, though he wouldn't know what kind of attack or at what kind of speed...There was only one option as the Sentinels blades where coming toward him...

In one fluid motion Draven ducked down bending his head low and spun around. He would tried to spin around the left side of the women to end up behind her just as she did with the shunshin. It was a risky maneuver. The reason why this might have some success is that the women shouldn't know that Draven knew where she was. Or at least not from what Draven could see so far. His sensory capability at least granted him that surprise. Thus this maneuver had a chance at surprising the women from adapting to such an avoidance. Furthermore there was still the 1 crow on her face. The given order was attack the eyes and face thus her vision was most likely interrupted to a degree. Not only that he would be sending the whole flock after her.

Tarah was close enough now. All the crows where out but there was a few more very close and already released. The crows would continue to try and latch onto this women's face. They would continue to go for the eyes and claw at the face. They would continue to blind the women with their shear volumes. It would take the breath of this spinning maneuver for the entire flock to be a cloud around her and Draven. Not to mention there was still the Shadow Sentinels that where about to skewer both of them...if not for the fact that they where Draven's creation's and wouldn't be effected by the shadowy blades...

---

Meanwhile the Darkness is coming!

---

The Army of sentinels had continued their charge. Past the after image and was about to impale Draven. Just in the nick of time Draven ducked out of their way... They would continue their charge. The flurry of blows that Tarah was conducting would be met with 10 sword points as the first rank of 10 sentinels continued their charge.

Depending on how fast Tarah's opponent was able to move, either first punch was able to touch and stun the target, or it was able to dodge. If it was stunned, she would likely have the freedom to unleash her other three punches.

On the other hand, if the target's movement speed beat her punch, Tarah would see his heat signature move away from her fist. At the same time, the torso-sized flamethrower from her left fist would also continue onward without obstruction due to the movement of the physical target. Two facts that confirmed that the target dodged.

Any crows attempting to interrupt her sight weren't an issue, since the mechanical mono-goggle's thermal lens could see through them without hindrance. It would take at least two rock solid walls to block her goggle's image.

The movement of one who wasn't specialized in taijutsu was easy enough for Tarah to spot.

If that were the case, with her right hand still cocked back, Tarah would turn her body to follow the moving heat signature.

Her left fist, with the shock enhancement, would still be sticking out after the first punch. Tarah would attempt to touch the heat signature in motion around her with her left gauntlet. The touch would still be enough to grant a few movements of stun.

Regardless of if her touching stun attempt worked out not, her right fist would continue the four-punch combination. It would strike out at the moving heat signature, ready to unleash a burst of freezing damage, followed by a burning flamethrower. The stream of fire was still as wide as a human torso, so she had a good chance to hit even if the fist itself missed the physical body.

Tarah continued to follow the moving heat signature with her mono-goggle. The last two fists in her combination attack continued to launch towards the moving target, so long as it made no other evasions.

The sentinels wouldn't be a worry yet, unless they could move over ten meters in the time it took for Tarah to complete a single movement. If they were fast enough to close the distance, Tarah's feet would still be steady, so she would be ready to dash away in the blink of an eye.

The crows may be able to reach her, but they were also something that could be dashed away from if need be.

Continuing with the 1 movement from last round.
-4 Punches at 190 armor points damage each, 760 damage if all four hit.
-40 Blunt (Technique) + 40 Blunt (Gauntlet) + 20 Electricity/Cold (Gauntlet Enhancement) + 10 Striking (Alter Ego bonus) + 80 Fire (A Rank Fire)
-1 to 4 movements of stun if left fist (shock enhancement) makes contact.

[The God Damn Otokage]

Draven would be hit by the strike, that wouldn't get him away from it. Nira is right on the time for the sentinels and such not catching up.

1-4

[Draven]

Draven would be struck, he would be stunned. Most likely the other strikes would connect as well. If the strikes don't kill him then he would be moments before death. Hopefully the attendants where paying attention and could get him out of their. Today Draven had found out the limits of his capabilities. He shall be weary of Genjutsu Specialists because of their versatility, and technology was starting to be a pain in his side as well. His thoughts would rewind the fight in his head. The thought of being in that bathroom and such tight quarters of an arena was a flaw he would have to compensate for next time.

[Nira]

The attack was received.

Tarah felt as her fists met against something solid, and saw as her flamethrowers dispersed upon contact with the invisible body.

The heat signature didn't move after the first punch, likely because the target was stunned. Tarah immediately unleashed the other three punches.

If the second to last punch hit, there was a chance for the stun effect to last even longer.

If the four punches didn't end the match, she would just begin another set of four punches with the same amount of power. She would continue her barrage of enhanced punches, until the arena declared her victory, or something else disrupted her.

Continuing with addition Fury of Blows attacks, same as previous use.

[|Ayame Unbound|]

Indeed Draven would vanish and reappear in the medical office where they would make quick work of healing him. At the same time the arena disappeared and Tarah would be announced the victor.

[Draven]

The medics wouldn't need to work to aweful hard. Even at a sever wound he was able to heal within minutes, though in a battle that was a very long time to wait. Thus Draven was happy to see life still. His decapitation many years ago flashed before his eyes as he was nearly pummeled to death.

Weather it was because of the small arena size, or the fact he was stuck in the restroom didn't shroud the fact that Draven lost. Though for sure this women did not let up on him and was most definitely a skilled fighter. He could tell that she didn't have as much chakra than him but she was far more resourceful than him. Perhaps if the playing field was more in his favor the fight might have gone a different way but he had a few questions to ask her.

Should Tarah come by to check up on him he would ask, "Curious how did you find out I was there. And if I may be so bold, what general style do you specialize in. I will say I am a Genmaster just in case you feel like I am just trying to fish for information. I assure you I ask because I wish to improve my own abilities should I face someone like you in the future." He would say if she came. Though if not he would simply leave the arena. His current record 1/1...

[Nira]

Victory.

Tarah grinned as the arena announced her as the victory. That smile remained as she walked out and back into the lobby area. During this time, Tarah split her soul into two, summoning her soul sister Vi Gesic to her side.

Vi congratulated Tarah on the victory, and together they collected the winnings and mission credit from the front desk.

Vi wanted to pay a visit to the opponent, Draven. Tarah didn't see a point to that, but agreed all the same.

When the two girls reached the medic area, they received a question from their previous opponent.

Not one to lie, Tarah answered the question, "I typically don't like revealing my abilities. Much rather keep my advantages, if you know what I mean. That said, since you're kind enough to reveal your own, I am experienced in illusions and hand to hand combat."

"She's quite an entertainer too, when she's in the mood," said Vi. "Anyway, it's been nice meeting you, Sir Draven. May we meet again."

"Mmhm, we got places to be." Tarah said, "Maybe we'll fight again in the future..."

If nothing else stopped them the two girls would have collected the 2,000 ryo and left for home...

<Ending Event Thread>

[Draven]

Draven would nod and then chuckle at the comment from the twin. Apparently Tarah had been holding back a little too... "Well perhaps next time I should bring some drink to loosen her up next time." He would say as he waited patiently for the medics to clear him.

A nod and a warm smile would accompany the prospect of a future rematch. "I would enjoy that, you have set the bar for my limitations. Though I require more training should I request that of you." Draven remarked as Tarah and Vi departed. Thus he would be cleared and he would leave as well...

ENTER EL NINJA. He was back after his shopping trip to pick up a few items. El Ninja wanted to test his mettle against whatever the arena could throw at him. Last time he’d been here El Ninja had watched an amazing fight despite losing his bet. It was his time to shine, walking up to the desk El Ninja knew what he wanted to fight. ”Please set me up against the Mammalian Chaos. I’m ready.” A smile was on his face as he waited for approval. He’d watched the arena change when Draven had fought he wondered what it would be like for him.

El Ninja was wearing his usual black and silver mask. Around his forehead was his sound headband. Draped over his shoulders and going all the way down his back was a black cape with golden trim around the edges. Within his cloak he hid a compass, a map, a gas mask with filter type E as well as 4 spare red dot sights. Inside was also his 150 pound compound crossbow equipped with one red dot sight. His shirt was sleeveless and on his chest in silver text were the words “El Ninja” over the base black of the shirt. El Ninja wore matching black shorts and black shoes. Around his waist was a quiver holding 40 bolts with electro tips set to explode on contact.
