Blood in the Snow (Private/Invite)

[Jotün Kamyuja]

It was a perfect spring morning, so common in stories and fairy tails but so rare in the real world, pillars of sunlight shone through cracks in the clouds, glistening against the rough, barky surface of trees standing tall and proud with their newly grown leaves, this was nature at it's finest, where the only disturbances where the rustling of bushes caused by small forest critters, this was Jotün's favourite time of year, as it was one of the few occaisoins where life could truly thrive, and in this particular forest grass had begun to grow, the canopy of trees provided decent protection against the light snowfall of the past few days, which meant the ground was no longer covered beneath several feet of snow as it often was, but merely dotted with small fields of it.

But this peaceful snowy paradise would meet an unnexpected disturbance, birds flew darting off from branches and squirrels scurried away, the reason was unclear at first, but it would soon be obvious why. The cold mornings silence was broken as a figure emerged from the shadows, there was the unmistakeable sound of snow crunching under large boots, a hooded young man stepped into the clearing where the forest was not as dense, trees still flooded the area, but would only slightly hinder movements at worst.

The boy had a face that could be easily made out in the sunlight, even under the shelter of his hood, Gunnr had allowed him to select their battleground, the runt was either mighty confident of her abilities to adapt, or simply did not want to trouble herself with the task of finding an area, Jotün had several possible locations in mind, but was having trouble agreeing on where he wanted it to be, the boys expression changed quickly from annoyance, to excitement, to confusion, anyone who caught sight of the boy would likely be left without any reason why.

"Come oooon, we've been walking forever, let's just fight her already!" Said a particularly eager voice "No, i'm searching for an appropriate location to do battle, what do you care? This is my fight" Said the second with a light tone of irritation, had Takeshi had control, he would have rolled his eyes "Incorrect...this is our fight, or are you so quick to dissmiss my presence? You're the one who's dragging us off to some pointluess skirmish with a two year old *sigh* Come ooooon, let's just kill her already, i want to see the brat bleed" Jotün could practically see the malicious grin on Takeshi's non existant face "No one is going to kill anyone...besides, she's a shinobi of Yukigakure, the country i'm supposed to be helping." Takeshi let out a forced groan "You mean you actually give two shits? That application WASN'T just a joke? Come on...do you really mean to tell me that after all they did, you don't hope they burn in hell? Killing them would be a mercy, the village is weak, hopeless...save for a few obstacles we could wipe them out easily, if you'd just let me-" 

"Shut up shut up shut up shut up! Get out of my head DEMON" Takeshi simply frowned "Fine...i gave you a chance to do it yourself, but that's my limit, i'll enjoy leaving you to gather dust in here" Jotün could feel Takeshi's energy begining to...grow inside his head, he wasn't worried, a mere figment of his imagination could do nothing, unfortunately he was still yet to understand what Takeshi really was, it wasn't long before the darkness took over, unconsciousness arrived swiftly, much like it does when a person falls asleep.

The boy blinked in disbelief, stretching his arms and fingers as if waking from a deep slumber, Takeshi smiled dumbfoundedly "Hell yeah! I'd forgotten how good it feels to be in control" He looked around himself, the girl should've been here by now, so he shrugged simply, sitting himself down on the ground, he started to crush passing ants under his gloves to pass the time, he looked like a bored child.

Gunnr and Amara were trailing behind Jotun, barely paying him any real mind as they waited for him to settle on a spot to have this fight of theirs. As they walked Amara looked at his back, and then back over at Gunnr, "He doesn't seem strong at all, well compared to you anyway." Being a Unicorn, Amara could scope out the strength and intentions of a target from up to 240 meters away. And for what she was getting this guy wasn't anything special. That was until she started to sense turmoil, with him. It was like he was shifting between, someone decent, to someone utterly vile. The boy was a wild card and more that seemed to be more flawed then he cared to attempt.

"He's weird Gunnr... it's like he shift between, moralities on the dimes. One is a wild light, the other the vilest of dark." Gunnr looked at Amara, and then smirked, "Great so... he's a lunatic. How fun..." Gunnr said sarcastically, this really didn't change anything as far as she was concerned. She simply let out a sigh as she stopped about 6 meters away from his position. As she stood there she heard his statement, and started to stretch out her body. It wasn't hard to put 2 and 2 together, based on what Amara said, and the way he was now acting. As she stretched her hamstrings she commented, "So which one is it? Beresker Rage, split personality, or evil spirit?"

Simple acting would not have allowed the very nature of his soul switch back and forth as Amara had described earlier. Over the many life times she has had she saw a great deal of things similar to this. It made no real difference in a fight, expect that the way he approached battle, could and most like would change up when he switch between, his normal self and whatever the hell else this was. As Gunnr stretched Amara would begin to float off into the air, "I'm just going to watch from up here, for now." Gunnr nodded her head, it was best for her to stay out of the thick of the fight, especially if the less than savory version of this fellow was in control at the moment.

"Anything goes?" Gunnr asked, not really caring what the man's answer to her first question was. It wouldn't change anything, she wanted to fight, and that's what she was going to do. However this question was important, as Gunnr twisted her wrist, and then silver bangles that were jeweled on her wrist began to twist and turn into gauntlets that began to cover her forearms and fists

[Jotün Kamyuja]

Before the boy could sit down, he heard the sound of footsteps behind him, proning Takeshi turn around, Gunnr was already standing a few meters away stretching herself out for the fight, he didn't think her to be anything special, but the question she asked next intrigued him, he cocked his head to the side curiously, how had she have already noticed that Jotün was no longer himself? He thought about it for a moment, but then he simply shrugged, at this point wether or not she knew didn't matter "All are good guesses i suppose" He said, although it wasn't really an answer "Your surprisingly calm for someone who can see what i am, not a hint of confusion or fear, no fun...let's change that"

Despite the confidence in his words, he knew this girl would not be easily frightened, his hand reached calmly for the handle of his sword, but then the girls friend began to...float away, Takeshi wasn't exactly comfortable with her hovering over them, watching his every move, but his thoughts where quickly interrupted by Gunnr's next question, which once again was something he hadn't been expecting "Awww Your letting me decide...How thoughtful, i personally preffer a match devoid of chakra use, but you may attack with whatever you please" He said this with with a smirk as he ran countless battle tactics through his head, trying to decide which was more approprate for this situation.

But he had never seen the girl fight, this was bad, as he didn't know the movements she preffered to use and much less how to counter them, nonetheless he would find a way, he always did, it took only a few moments for him to select the tactic to lead with, a brief sign of this would show as his smirk widened.

With that, Takeshi immediately darted forwards, his powerful legs closed the gap between them in an instant and would do so in a linear fashion, without any attempt to conceal his simple movements, halfway towards Gunnr a small, completely invisible fraction of his soul would split off from his body, flying forwards ahead of him, but this would only be of importance later, his right hand would tighten around the handle of his sword, beggining to unsheathe it faster then common eyes could trace, the boy's charge would stop for only a milisecond, roughly half a meter away from his target, at this point his sword was 75% unsheathed, it may have seemed obvious what the boy wanted to do, and this was the objective, it was meant to seem like a simple, straight-forward attack as a distraction.

But as his blade was exiting it's sheathe, the boys body would dissappear, and reappear instantly behind Gunnr, his soul shunt would position him facing her back with his legs bent halfway, feet inches above the ground, this was to be used to his advantage as he continued the fluid, lightning fast motion of unsheathing the blade, creating enough momentum to strike with an equally fearsome speed, the attack would be an horizontal strike from left to right, and would strike across the lower back, the area that would've been her abdomen had the attack come from the front, but it wouldn't end yet, instead of simply ending the strike Takeshi took advantage of being in the air, and would continue the motion with a full clockwise spin of his body, feet landing on the floor just as the 360 degree strike ended, additionally, the movement of his sword would stir up air pressure, sending out a powerful slash of wind from the blade in case Gunnr somehow managed to step forwards attempting to avoid being hit.

[Not Loki]

"No chakra? Well that's rather dull. So be it." Gunnr said as she got into a rather lazy looking boxing stance. Her feet were comfortably apart, with her weight on the balls of her feet. Her knees bent slightly, and she positioned herself slightly sideways towards Takeshi, with her front foot, hip, and shoulders in line, maximizing her possible reach, and minimizing her own target area. Her right fist was close to her chin, elbow close to her ribs. However her left fist was near her stomach. She stood there completely relaxed. While she saw the boy reaching for his blade and having a blade of her own. She had no intention of drawing it, at least not at this moment.

She would not put any of her cards on the table just yet, she'd simple poke and prod at him, and wait for the opportunity to begin an unending assault. Once she went on the offensive, she did not let up. The best way to open an attack, was to break your opponents opening gambit, over your knee, and she had a feeling that this one, wasn't going to have the patience, to wait out the first attack. As she thought this, it seemed that she was correct, as he gripped his blade and immediately and literally jumped into battle. Poor decision, unless one could fly or had some form a aerial mobility. She wasn't sure if he had either, but some one so cocky should at least have should a basic understanding.

As she was thinking this she focused in, as Takeshi vanished from sight, almost on reflex, in one fluid motion, Gunnr shifted her back right pivot foot, and rotated her left leg counter clockwise, as she turned to face her back, Takeshi appeared there. As he appeared she was already sending out a jab at his drawing hand saying, "It's always behind." Gunnr had been in many fights since she was cast into this young body, and it seemed that whenever someone performed a speed movement or teleportation, they always went for her back. Perhaps it was because this was a time of ninja, the back was the most commonly use blind spot. Or maybe they just didn't like Sir Floopy. That couldn't be it, sir floopy was just too cute not to love.

Gunnr could send out 5 jabs in an instant, but she'd only need one. She'd perform a flicker jab at the drawing hand side of Takeshi's body. Flicker Jabs, came in fast and from a low position, so low in fact that it could come from an opponents blind spot if they were close enough. Beginning that Takeshi came in close, close enough for her to reach him with a jab, and was airborne, this put him in an awkward position, to even be able to notice the lightning quick jab. Ironically, him being shorter than she was would have helped him better see the Flicker Jab coming in low, but he had jumped off his feet, and naturally this should push him a bit higher into the air. The complexity of this single jab went even further. As she punched her Gauntlets let out and explosion in a 2 meter cone.

The explosion was completely silent, and gave off 6 separate explosions all concentrated into that one location. The Explosion of ice, was created to freeze not only Takeshi's blade into it's scabbard, but that entire half of his body as well. The 2 meter cone, was large enough to staple the frozen mass into the ground, leaving half of Takeshi frozen, but still airborne. The explosion did a total of 360ap of cold damage that ignored half of his hardness. However, Gunnr did what she could to minimize the lethality of the attack, which is why she aimed for the Blade side of her opponent.

The Single backhanded jab came in swiftly, and from the currently off his feet warrior's blind spot, the explosion made no noise, in theory the only thing Takeshi would notice, is a sudden chill over coming half of his body, and then the immediate sensation of failure. It didn't matter, if the single jab was avoided, Gunnr's attack already begun. A good jab, was always a good set up to a devastating combo, whether it connected or not. A smile crept across Gunnr's face after the explosion, as she was ready to do battle.

[Jotün Kamyuja]

Gunnr seemed to have misinterpreted the situation, Takeshi never jumped towards her, and when he appeared behind her his knees where bent halfway, even if his feet where inches above the ground the simple action of outstretching his legs would more then cover this distance, he was capable of moving away if it was required. It was a simple thing to notice the punch, the boy didn't let his eyes wander from Gunnr for even a second, but she was fast, giving him barely any time to unsheathe the remaining 25% of his blade that was still in it's scabbard.

But barely any time was enough for him, enough at least to unsheathe what was left of his sword, the blade would sail through the air, cutting through it deftly, the boy's form was flawless, if Gunnr continued her punch, the blade would come to a halt as it was stopped by the Jab, meaning she would take the damage of the strike minus any dafenses she had, Takeshi's face was filled with surprise to feel her punch was about as strong as his own slash, if there was a difference in strength for either side it would be too small to take note of "Interesting, the brat is a fighter after a-" His thoughts where interrupted by a chilling feel overtaking the left side of his body, her gauntlet had expelled a blast of ice that froze his arm just as their two strikes clashed "I take it back! this brat is an asshole."

The boy's eyes widened as the pain started to settle in, but was then numbed from the extreme cold, the grip on his sword loosened and he stumbled backwards, luckily part of the blast had been partially intercepted by his sword, as that was where she aimed, his will to fight was far from depleted, but will alone was not enough for one to remain on their feet, for a few moments he could only stand there, doing his best to keep his balance though his body was greatly weakened by the explosion.

---

(Factoring in my defenses and Armour points, Takeshi would still take 130 Damage AFTER his Armour points where depleted, so...yeah, that's a lot of damage, i'll let you decide exactly what effects this would have done to him, be it being to weak to move, falling unconscious, or hell even death.)

[Not Loki]

The attacks clashed and Gunnr's expression didn't change, a bit. As the Blade connected to her gauntlets, the clanging of metal brought a smile to her face, a smile that was quickly stripped from her aftter what happened next. The explosion of ice, connected, damaging Jotun and freezing half of his body. The man stumbled back looking to barely be capable of holding himself up. Gunnr let out a groan, as she while she didn't expect much of a fight, she'd hoped she'd be wrong. She got out of her stance, and placed one hand on her hip and then other on the handle of her own blade, that was on her lower back. Gunnr ruffle her hair saying,

"Your Sword technique is decent. You at least have a good eye for quality fighting styles. Buredono Kenseijin, is a very dynamic and versatile style, a good choice for swords, one I wish i found in previous lives. I am a master myself. Only one school away from being named a Sword Saint." If Takeshi was indeed a user of Buredono Kenseijin, then he'd know what that meant. It was not something someone simply fell into, it was something that could only be accomplished through a great deal of effort, and determination. For someone as young as Gunnr to be so close to something like that meant that she was either a Genius, or all she knew was battle, and training.

Gunnr drew her blade in a flash, and in that moment, she preformed a Dragon nest strangle technique, but focused in around the frozen parts of Jotun's body. Her blade sailed through the air without effort with beauty and grace. The Ice that half of his body crumbled, to floor, if she had half a mind those chucks of ice could have easily been him. Where the ice once stood where now frost burns on his body, close to approaching frostbite. "However, your technique lacks power. Perhaps, you are not in tune with your blade, and your blade itself is meager, to say the least. At your current level, you may be better off just using your fists."

While her words may have seemed harsh, they were genuinely coming from a place of assistance. She was a Valkyrie, charged with not only finding, but training worthy warriors in preparation for Ragnarok. If someone showed even the smallest hint of potentially, she felt obligated, and a bit excited to offer some bit of critique. Even if they did not become worthy in her eyes, maybe they could at least offer her decent sport in the future. She was just as critical with herself as she was with others. While it seemed to work out this time, she was developing a habit checking directly behind her, when enemies performed speed techniques. It was a conditioned response at this point, but one she didn't want to allow to remain.

Meanwhile, Gunnr's own blade, glistened into the light of the forest, as it shined off the Celestial Mythril. She then placed her blade back into it's sheath, and then looked at Takeshi. "You have a ways to go before you are even my physical match." Gunnr made sure to point out, that she hadn't even used any of her chakra abilities, or any abilities in general really. "You want to keep going? Or would you rather go home and lick your wounds... pup?" Gunnr asked as Jotun would continue to struggle to keep himself on his feet. However, if he had the determination, he could muster the strength to keep going, but the half of his body that was ravaged by frost, wouldn't be much use to him at the moment.

[Jotün Kamyuja]

The explosion of ice had taken a toll on his body, he couldn't quite feel his left side, but his Grendle Ancestry made sure his body regenerated faster then most, it would at least keep him breathing...for now, but he was still weakened and no longer had the energy to keep his other half dormant in the depths of his mind, Jotün would be able to regain consciousness and perceive whatever his darker half saw, however he wouldn't be able to take full control, for now he was simply spectating, he realised right away what was going on.

Gunnr had damaged a part of them that went beyond their physical body, she had damaged their pride, the boy was used to taking beatings from when he was younger, and no one had ever damaged any of his limbs so badly, at least not with a single strike, this girl was stronger then any simple Guard or Thug, but this was pitiful, he would not accept such a disgraceful defeat. Both the halves would quickly flash their eyes over the area looking for ways they could efficiently attack, the personalities bitterly hated each other, but right now they hated their opponent more, they would gladly work together if it gave them a chance of taking her down, just as they readied themselves to attack, the girl spoke up.

Her words surprised him, though he didn't show it, apparently she was now complementing his form "She recognized our moves...and only one school away from becoming a sword saint at such a young age..." Jotün was a master of the style himself, he knew that gaining the title was a feat that required lots of time, determination, and talent, he wasn't really sure if he believed her, but she was definitely strong, which was the only reason he didn't immediately pass her words off as a bluff "Idiot...she's obviously lying, for someone her age to be so close to Sword Saint they'd have to-"

Once again his thoughts where cut short, he could only watch as the girl released blades of wind from her weapon, deftly shattering the ice around his arm before proceeding to critisize his power, these words may have been seen as harsh by some, but neither Takeshi nor Jotün would even think of it that way, at all, in truth they where many times harsher with themselves then Gunnr was being, if anything her statement would come off as thoughtful, and that type of talking...wasn't common in a battle. 

Both of the personalities would be at a bit of a loss for words, albeit for different reasons, Jotün had grown up on the streets, having to fend for himself and go up and beyond for just a handful of scraps, meanwhile rich nobles children could have the finest feasts at a whim, without having to earn a morsel, when he met Gunnr, he assumed she was the same, he thought that everything she had, her status, her weapons, it was all thanks to her father, but skill like she had could never be bought with money, this girl was a true warrior, that was something he could respect, he still wanted to fight her of course, he still wanted to win, but at least any will for battle he had left was no longer out of spite.

Takeshi on the other hand was even more angered as she spoke, he knew her words where to offer advice, but to him it was worse then any insult, he was proud, proud of the blood that coarsed through his veigns, proud to have endured what he had without anyone for support, proud to call himself a warrior, but most of all, he was proud to simply be the person he was, whats more he believed the Kamyuja to be a superior race, and refused to lose so disgracefully to a lowly human.

The boy sheathed his blade as he looked to the arm now free from ice, it looked badly damaged and covered in ice burns, but even though he couldn't feel the pain it was still useless, he could barely move it, much less proficiently strike with it, he supposed it didn't matter, he would rip his arm out himself and grow a new one if he had to. It wasn't necessary yet, as arms healed faster then they grew, but if a limb was made permanently useless he would do what he needed to win, he looked Gunnr straight in the eyes, his own eyes losing their lively golden colour, becoming a fierce Crimson as he felt his body getting stronger, burning with determination, he wasn't about to surrender to her "Hell...no...do your worst, human, i would never be so pathetic to run away from a fight, even if it could mean death, anything your capable of doing, i can take it! i AM A FUCKING WARRIOR DAMN IT!!!"

In that moment the boy was filled with rage to the point where he could barely control his power anymore, his very scream created a wave of force that could be percieved by human eyes, it was not incredibly powerful, but it travelled in all directions and was capable of hitting anything within a Fifty Five meter Radius, Gunnr, as well as anything else not bolted down would be knocked back 20 meters, not only that, but the snow and dust particles present in the air and on the branches and leaves of trees or bushes would be ruffled up as well, being scattered into the air in a cloud of dust, snow and icy mist, as there was no chakra to maintain any of it the dust would soon subside after only a few seconds, if not less.

But any Shinobi worth their own Head Band could do a lot in this time frame, Takeshi quickly took note of his surroundings and decided he wasn't going to waste it, stretching out his good arm, he would send out a brilliant ray of energy from the palm of his hand aimed at Gunnr's chest to assault her soul, the ray could travel up to 50 meters and would deal 77 Ap damage, normally Takeshi would not have been able to properly aim with this misty cloud in the air, but his active 2nd Stage of Chaos allowed him to see her aura as it surrounded her body, she however, likely wouldn't see the ray coming, especially considering that with the dust and snow flying towards her it would be difficult to even open her eyes.

Gunnr gave a genuine smile as Takeshi screamed that he would keep fighting even if it meant death. "So you are a man of snow...good." She chuckled her eyes widened a bit as he let out his force scream. It was something she had never encountered before, but she quickly crossed her arms in front of her face, as the shock-wave came. It clashed into her guard, but due it was blunt damage, and due to her boxing training, and the block and charge technique of Buredono Kenseijin, the damage she received was non-existent, but it did knock her off her feet into sending her reeling back 20 meters. Or at least it would have, if not for her wings erupting from her back.

With one powerful flap, she stopped her momentum, some 15 meters away while still being airborne. That single flap not only stopped her momentum, but sent her into a the side of a tree, were she planted her feet into the side of the tree trunk, and sprang down back towards the ground. Even with wings remaining airborne with so much ground cover in the form of the forest, was a fools errand. She hit the snow and her head quickly snapped up towards where Takeshi was, the shock-wave had still left the snow covering her view, but her honed senses could feel something coming, it didn't really matter, she was going to the move now anyway. Her opponent, had put her on her heels with that Scream, the best way to recover, was to be ultra aggressive.

She shot off at an angle with a power jump assisted by a push off with her wings. She stayed low, and charged off at an angle that took her to the side of Takeshi's injured arm. this way what ever her was doing, would have to be accompanied by an awkward motion, to compensate for his damaged side. However, Gunnr was not going to give him time to properly gauge his next action. Her movement already took her at of the line of fire for his initial searing soul shot, or at the very least his intial target area, and she was going to stay on the move. After covering the distances in a single bound, and bringing herself towards his injured side, only 10 meters away, she stopped on a dime having a clear look at him now.

Her right heel dug into the snow, as she her side was facing him, her wings covering up most of her body, but her eyes. This was done purposely, so as to not give him even the slightest hint of her she would move to next. In an instant, she sprang towards him head on hold, the sudden explosive jump and juxtaposition of the position was almost mechanical. However, this was a hard feint, as with a graceful tap into the snowy soil with her left foot,just as she got within striking grange, her position rapidly changed as she made another quick short jump, to his healthy side. This again was another feint, as she with a pivot twist and shushin she was on his injured side once again.

Once there she made a swift lunged forward and sent a palm strike, returning the energy that she had received and stored from the Force Scream back into Takeshi's injured side, and then some(100AP). Her wings craned back revealing her full profile as she sent her attack into  his side. The speed at which everything had happened being spectacular. The snow that was shot into the air by Takeshi scream just now settled, and the scream itself still echoing in the distance. Not only the speed of her movements, but also the fluttering of her Wings, to conceal even the smallest of detail, to give away her movements, not to mention the use of her vicious feints, was enough to bamboozl, even the most observant warrior. As she sent the palm thrust she commented, "The potential of Humans is boundless. They can move mountains, if they put in the effort." Gunnr was not one for trickery, in most cases so her Feints relied on her swift powerful movements and agility( uses Good Jump instead of Acting for feint checks). Her feint were a devastating thing, it was as if she had flanked her enemy in plan sight, leaving all but the most capable, wide open for an attack.


((I'll list all the feint stuff, because it can be hard to keep up with just descriptions. I'll just put everything. Don't know how well i described everything. might be rusty. I don't know your Sense Motive, so I'll let you handle whether or not you even want to roll for the check. ))
