OOC: Science is my friend... Have to remember that.
IC: I pick myself off the ground and feel my face where the scabbard hit me. I then start to laugh. ( in that gravely voice)
"...why are you laughing?"
"Because I was right. You can adapt and hold you own. Most of the fighters in this thing are not mortals, they have some sort of power. You have just your wits and the prowess of the blade. The last thing the side of good needs is a weak link."
"Ok then Lord Rayden, but you forgot something else..."
"what might that be?"
"NEVER LET YOUR GUARD DOWN!"
In a blur, Kenshin runs towards me, blade ready to strike. The blossom petals swirling around all over the place in his wake. I use my speed to stay just a little bit ahead of him, always dodging his attacks. Finally, I stop and when he tries to connect, I hold my hands out and catch his blade between my palms, stopping it dead.
He tries to twist it out of my hands, but to no avail. I train my eyes to his and with a flash, I use my Blinding attack on Kenshin.
He lets go of his blade and covers his eyes from the brightness that's messing up his vision. While he's trying to regain his vision, I take his sword and throw it into the air.
Upon hearing the air whoosh by his blade, Kenshin tries to hit me, but I have since moved to his side. I take my left leg and implant it directly into his chest. The air rushing out of his lungs from the shock. I then lift off on my right foot and while in mid air, I drop my left leg to only bring up the right leg and spin my leg into his back, sending him onto his face on the ground.
He starts to stagger up and has regained his eyesight. Noticing a trickle of blood from his lip, he wipes it on his sleeve. Then we both hear a whooshing sound from above. I hold my hand up and retrieve his sword which Gravity has so graciously returned to the planet.
Twirling it around 180 degrees, I plant it into the ground between Kenshin and myself and step back 5 paces. I give him a smirk then point at him and curl my pointer finger to say, "Continue. Bring it"
*He is very good. Little more practice and he should be a great fighter for us to depend on. If only I had known of him when I had to gather the Kombatants from Earth, He might have been up there with the others.*
OOC: Consider it a compliment
