Song of the Sword Mind: Kaz vs. Aries

[Angel Aries]

*The place does not matter. But all the same, the place is a small courtyard, surrounded by ornate brush, a fountain set in the stone with gravel paved onto a walkway about it, and a great Chinese-esque villa behind the garden...rolling with flames.*

*Despite the inferno behind him, Aries stands, dressed only in a pair of black fatigue pants, held up at the waist by a belt. His cross dangles against his bare chest, and his goggles are nowhere to be seen, replaced by his glasses.*

Although you asked for Aries to pick the weapon, Aries prefers to pick the theater to let you gain your own 'advantages'.

*He waves to a rack of Chinese weapons, only one of each on it: a Jian (double-edged sword), a Tai Dao (long machete), a Bagua Iron Fan, a Jiulong Baguazhang Staff (a six-foot iron rod), a Kuan Dao (a blade the size of a forearm attatched to a four and a half foot rod), a Mao (spear), a Bagua-Lung Mao (double-end spear), a pair of Er Long Dao (a pair of 13-inch blades), and a three-sectioned staff (a six-foot staff divided into three equal parts and linked by chain).*

As you would have.

[kurama]

Kaz steps from behind the statue slowly.he looks at you than at the rack of weapons.he shakes his head and pulls out a rack of his own weapons..on this rack thair are the following

claymore: A long thin bladed sword.

Flail;A wooden handel with a chain linked about 4 feet long.At the end of the link is a larf iron ball with spikes on it

Saber: a short bladed sword.with hand guard of orient designe

the final weapon is a rapier:long thin glade.with dimond crested hand guard

Kaz walks ove to the rack and picks the clay more up and holds it lazly in his hand as he kiks the rack to the floor behind the statue.

Kas holds the blad tightly in his hands.the handelat his right side his left hand leading the right.the blade diagnel across my chest and stomack.


my right foot forward and my left behind that by a foots length.His left leg tence through his blackbaggy pants.his shirt is a butten up silk shirt with a black and red dragon on it.

im ready when you are..now lets make this good shall we?

[Angel Aries]

*Aries shakes his head, sighing.*

Aries knew you couldn't handle the discipline of Oriental weapons...

*takes the Iron Fans, one in each hand, and snaps them open with the sound of metal on metal. The blades take on the light of the fire behind him.*

For some people, discipline is a lesson. For others, it is a lifetime.

*lets his left foot slide forward, resting his weight on the toes of his right foot, the heel up, the knee bent, the left fan held out and horizontally, the right held above his head, the blade pointed downwards.*

[kurama]

We shall see..not lets make this good for the people watching..

Kaz spinns the lade fast as he slowly advances towards aries.the swings of the sword flow like water infront that to the side..faster and faster untill the blade is a blur of metel .

his feet slowly moveing forward theright moveing till it touches the left then the left moveing slowly forward. the distance between my feet is no more than a foot at any time

come on..lets see what you have for me..with those fans...and so ya know..i was hopeing for a sword duel...but this'll do..

[Angel Aries]

*Aries's eyes narrow.*

Close enough.

*makes a short charge towards Kaz, coming within range of the claymore, his left arm ducking in and his right circling over it. Being a Scot, he understands his opponant's choice of weapon, almost to a master's degree.*

*And yet, he knows its main weaknesses.*

*He gets in close on an up-swing, his left fan continuing its motion and the blades sparking as they meet. He keeps his motion fluid, moving foward, pushing the blade back to throw Kaz off-balance, leaning in close while leaning Kaz backward, his blade trying to go back over his right shoulder.*

*At the same time, his right fan comes up and shrieks down in a diagonal cut, seeking out the line between left shoulder and right hip to rend it into bloody life.*

[kurama]

with almost instand speed i let my bodt drop to the grund with a thud. a slamm circle of soot and ask fly frm were i make my contact.

with instinct fueling my thought and my body after the slices passes out of my body range i kick up to me feet fast.my feet landing on the wrists of the young aries.

my feet push his fans inwards towards his body with a violent force.his wrists alone feel as if thay have been shatterd from the inside.though no real damage has been done.

now my arms finaly fiishing thair arc towards aries only to meet violently with his fans.this no push gives the fans more vilocity an deadlyness.

Kaz once again falls to the ground.with a motion of his arms he rolls back wards.Never fully looseing vision of the young aries.as he finishes his role he stands at his feet waiting to see if the fans of aries distracted him..or even hurt him.

[Angel Aries]

*Aries's teeth knit, and his wrists fall between his knees, which buckle down as his legs collapse, trying to stem to pain off of them, the fans closing.*

*He slowly lets his eyes unsquint from the pain.*

That hurt.

*slowly gets back up.*

Aries does not like that.

*lets his left arm rip upwards, the fan unfolding, letting the seven soporofic-laced darts held inside the blades lash out and towards Kaz, whistling in the wind.*

[kurama]

Kaz grinns as he looks at the oncomeing darts.he swings his sword with incredible speed and accurecy and slashes all but one of the darts away.

with one hand the snatches his oncomeing dart in his hand and follows him momentum he spinns and addsto the speed as he violently thrusts his arm out towards aries as he turns to face him .finishing my spin i let the dark go.the dart mearly a blur as the head towards aries's neck

wel i love to cause pain...so your outta luck

[Angel Aries]

*Aries's face breaks into a snarl as the other fan snaps out to full again, snapping into a sprint as he charges Kaz. The right fan comes up to knock the dart sway with the flat of the blade, then his shoulder pivots as he runs right up on Kaz, throwing a slash at his head, the left drawn back at his hip to throw a follow-up at his stomach, his stance wide, low to the ground, and restrained.*

[KAZ]

kas quickly sptes back takeing a half lead to the side towards aries.his entire body spins as the deadly blades pass by him by milimeters.

as he continues to spin around you i finish the spinn and am faceing your back and with one mighty growl i slamm my blade towards your back at blinding speed.

the slach is power full but controled.slive up the center of your back aimed for the spine.

[Angel Aries]

*Aries takes a deep bow at the hips, the claymore skirting over his bare back, yet causing no real damage. The hair on the back of his head blows with the wind from it, and after it passes over him, he kicks off with his left toes, utilizing his low center of gravity as he spins on his right heel, then folds back up, the left fan taking advantage of the claymore's absence from the left side and lashing out at Kaz's right ribs, the right coming in close to his chest and arcing in from above to club the top of Kaz's head and send him sprawling.*

[kurama]

as aries bends i forsee his attack and jump up high.his one blace sliceing as cy chest cutting my shirt.The blade cutting through my flesh not too shalow gash in my pectoril muscles

With a loud growl i pivot my blade down as i jump.with a loud yell i force my body waight down blade and feet first towards your shoulder and neck.

[Angel Aries]

*Aries's right fan opens in a flash of reddish light from behind, still held high. It intercepts the claymore at about the tip level.*

*A quick twist of the wrist deflects the blade away from him and to the right.*

*Aries grins as his left fan, on the other hand, twists to hold its bladed edge vertically, then rips up to intercept, and maim, this time, not the trajectory of his adversary's blade, his adversary's feet.*

Winner: Dark Aries
