After slashing the chain, Ellis bobbed down about 5 feet in the air, and stayed there...
Come now Aries, do you really think I couldn't pull of some simple levitation? ...Well, it seems as though you can't, so it would be quite unfortunate if you were to....fall.
NeoEllis slashed horizontally, releasing a wide and thin wave of invisible energy. Rather than being aimed at Aries, it's smashed the supports of the walkway Aries was positioned on, causing it to plummet, naturally....

The walkway drops.
Just drops.
Onto the hot coals, maybe, but okay.
The wood begins to blacken under the coals' heat, while Aries kinda looks down on it, still on his feet and on the level, albeit collapsed, walkway.
Aries shakes his head, then walks across the coals and over to another small stairwell, the rubber on his boots heavily singed from the ordeal, but intact.
He then scuffs most of the coals and ash off his boots, and yawns.
"You bore Aries. Makes Aries wonder why one would need so many abilities if they can't excel in combat."
He then brings a hand up and waves Ellie in again, his expression blending into a severely bored one.

"Well then...."
Ellis jumped back, sinking into a mess of pipe work, obscuring him from Aries' view. His deep voice echoed through the dark.
"Come now, why are you holding back? You're much more aggressive normally. If your going to give a fight, give it your best.....and please, don't hit me with that superiority complex, I've had my fill..."

Aries's bored expression flicks up into a grin.
"Ooh."
He steps down the stairs, then fires his legs and lands on a catwalk, closer to the metalworks than the forge.
"Aries can't resist a challenge that took that long to think up..."
He grins, then lets his right arm lash out as he drags the blade across the pipeworks, producing a hail of sparks as he walks foward.
"Come out, come out, wherever you are, to quote Lestat," he rumbles. "Surely you're not as fond of the shadows as he."

"Now Aries, I DO have callings other than this message board you know (like TV for example)."
Suddenly, the mesh of pipes were ripped apart, to an extent, as three thin red almost lance like beams tore out, all heading strait for Aries, naturally.

Aries drops into a somersalt on his right shoulder, turning back to see three holes in the catwalk mesh behind him.
And mesh marks on his shoulder.
"Ahh, Aries hates that."
He then turns back, looking at the spot where the beams came from and the resulting carnage on the pipes, to see Ellie concealed only partially by the shadows now.
"Good morning, Sunshine."
He starts running along the catwalk, then launches off of it, drawing back one blade, letting the scissor catch slice out, then thrusts it forward, and twists it in his Tiger Tornado Slash move. A torrent of misplaced air hurtles out at Ellie, with Aries coming closer still.

*grin*
I learned this one from you...
Ellis, with his katana drooped to his right side, quickly swept his left hand across, releasing another wave of invisible energy. The wave of psychic power and the massive rush of air met in the area created by the three previous blasts, causing something not unlike an explosion, but which out the fire. While Ellis, standing safely on the ground was able to easily withstand, Aries in the rushing and relatively unbalanced was blown back a good 15 feet.

He hisses, being pushed back by the force of the explosion, then feels his toe connect with something and his leg bending at the knee and hip to cover the shock.
He looks back, to find his foot has connected with the railing, and other than being dented slightly inwards, is still in pretty good shape.
As the blast subsides, he throws his leg back out, leaping off the railing and closing quick on Ellie.
The time, he doesn't throw a longer range move like the Tiger Tornado Slash, but grabs the broken pipes in his hands and pushes himself farther in, his arms down at his sides, heading in at Ellie like a grinning missile.
Aries does a quick backward somersault in the air, presenting his back towards the ground and his feet at Ellie...which is just the point.
His kick connects with his solar plexus, Ellie's breath fleeing him quite painfully as it connects. Aries drops onto a section of piping, lying on his back, but throws his legs about in a pivotal circle, gathering his left under him, then his right, and regains his footing. Without pausing, he immediately arcs a jab in with his right fist at Ellie's face, his left down hy his stomach to protect him.

NeoEllis grunted and painfully rolled to his right side. As he snapped up he spat out a mouthful of blood and saliva. Taking half a moment to consider Aries' resent move he shortly dug his katana into a near by bed of coals. Blue electricity flowed from the hilt into the coal's bed, five pieces then rose about 2 1/2 feet into the air. Two of them darted out, almost to fast to see and struck Aries at each of his heels, dropping him to the floor, the three remaining coals lashed out toward the downed Aries.

*Aries hammers his heels against the pipes, tucking his shoulders up to roll back on them, the coals breaking apart on the metal pipes.*
*Down on his haunches, Aries grins up at Ellie.*
Body check!
*Aries fires his legs, his shoulder hammering against Ellie's stomach, carrying them both backwards, onto the wall, into the wall, through the wall...*
*Aries and Ellie, still locked in the tackle, slam against the roof of the lower level. The skies above are dark, and the rain comes down on top of the both of them. Aries finds himself on top of Ellie, then starts grabbing for Ellie's neck with his left hand, his right already coming back to stab him in the face or chest.*

(OOC: Sorry for the delay, been busy)
IC:
Ellis wiped up his katana, which was laying across his chest, to counter Aries blade. In the process of slashing upward, a few of the fingers on Aries grabing hand contacted Ellis' sword and where severed. Clashing against each other in the rain, both of the blades locked, Ellis curled his legs and swiftly planted them in Aries' stomach, knocking him back toward the wall.

(OOC: Errr...last Aries checked, your sword was still inside, and even if you managed to hold onto it, it would have been thrown away from your body, along with your arms, as is what happens with a body check.) Taking half a moment to consider Aries' resent move he shortly dug his katana into a near by bed of coals. Blue electricity flowed from the hilt into the coal's bed, five pieces then rose about 2 1/2 feet into the air. Two of them darted out, almost to fast to see and struck Aries at each of his heels, dropping him to the floor, the three remaining coals lashed out toward the downed Aries. (Aries isn't in a position to lose any fingers, man. You can probably still give Aries that swift kick to the gut, but there really ain't much you got going for you in the way of slashing options.)

(OOC: I never said I let go of it, plus, I could just make another one, but I don't feel like arguing about it. Just take my last move at full value minus the finger slashing.)

*Aries almost folds in a little, his arms coming in about his head. His breath leaves him, but not his wits. Still in his backwards flight, he swings his arms out and back, the blades held vertically, creating an air wake behind him, halting his backwards motion and throwing him forward at almost the same speed. He comes back down in a slam kick, driving both feet into Ellie's gut and pushing his breath out of him. His left foot comes over and plants itself on Ellie's right wrist, pushing it and the held sword to the wet roof, still standing on his chest.*
*His right blade comes up and back, the scissor catch opening, as he preps up for another Tiger Tornado Slash.*
Aries will put things real simple here. Yield.

No.
Ellis released another wave of psyche energy, this time it was far to close for Aries to dodge. As Aries exploded a good 25 feet into the air, Ellis quickly snapped up and jumped to fallow, smashing his right knee into Aries stomach, sending him another 6 feet into the air.
