The place is rather simple.
Scotland. Pure and simple Scotland.
Out of the highlands rises a single solitary tower, reaching up into the black skies, fog wreathing about its base. But where the lower levels are a harkening to the past, the upper levels are a testament to the present.
Antennae and sattelite dishes top the corners of the tower, as well as a long lightning rod, threatening to tempt to dark, roiling skies above.
The air is horribly cold, the hard wind warning of rain.
And the man standing at one end of the tower, his arms folded over his chest, wearing khaki pants, a black shirt, and a long gray jacket, kicked up by the wind, its tails thrown about his legs, seems to soak it all up, the long points of a pair of silver wrist blades poking out from under his armpits.
"Aries needs a good fight," he says. "If Raz could come out to play, that'd be great. Fact is, he won't. Aries knows that good and well."
"So who's going to see if they can match at least Aries in a hand-to-hand fight?"

Just as Aries finished his sentence, a quick blast of snow hit the tower. As it died down, Raz stood there. His breath freezing in the cold. His neo-plasmatic eye burning up the cold air, creating a small amount of steam.
"You get what you ask for."
Raz smirked and his tentacle arm quickly changed into a human arm.

*Aries turns, twitches, then nearly falls over.*
Just as bored too, eh?
*He finally grins, then uncrosses his arms, thrusting them out a little to get his sleeves off his wrist blades, showing off their full length, as well as the wicked scissor catch he can quickly unleash with the move of a thumb.*
Oooooooooookiee dokie!
How we playin' this, then?

Raz gave his sadistic, slightly demented grin.
Anything goes.
Raz morphs his arm back into the 12 tentacle limb.
...If your man enough.
Raz smirked, and put his left arm down, the tentacles then recoiled backwards and into a massive fist.

*Aries grins, then works his shoulders in a circle to loosen the muscles, then brings his hands in and cracks his knuckles.*
Aries wouldn't have it any other way.
*He settles into a wide Tiger stance, his right blade held laterally by his face, his left one pointing down towards his toe, held vertically in contrast. He keeps his weight on his bent right leg, his left side facing Raz.*

Raz smirked at Aries, and then extended his arm in a handshake.
How about a little showmanship.

*doesn't move from his stance.*
You're going to put leverage on it the moment Aries does.

Raz retracted his arm, feeling slightly insulted.
Too bad.
Raz moved forward at the end of his sentence, so fast he was basically undetected. He came face to face with Aries, and you can see the great size disadvantage between them.
Raz locked eyes with Aries, and then wrapped a two tentacles around both of Aries arms. However the Neo-Plasmatic energy which swirls around them, slowly started to singe Aries.

*Aries grins, his arms slightly protected via his coat, but he understands that if he doesn't get Raz off of him quickly, he's not going to have much of a coat...or much in the way of arms...left to fight with.*
*He slams the heel of his left boot down, a small knife extending out of the toe of his boot, an old trick he has found to deliver a little extra touch to a good kick.*
*Still ensnared by Raz's tentacles, he thrusts off with his right foot, extending his left one out, the blade aiming for Raz's armpit, a rather painful pressure point.*

Raz sees this move coming. It's been attempted on him before. But this time he is ready, and one of the eight un-occupied tentacles wraps itself around Aries leg, stopping the blade mere centi-meters from the armpit.
Raz looks Aries straight in the eye, and shakes his head. He then brings his head forward going for a wicked headbutt.

*Aries's eyes pop open quickly at the foiling of his kick, but doesn't seem wholly surprised as Raz arcs his head in at his.*
*Despite the fact that his arms are pinned, he does have a little mobility. Enough to the effect that a simple sideslip of his head and shoulders brings him out of Raz's range, and into his.*
*Being as he has little else free, he uses the one venue still open to him, disconcerting as it may be.*
*He puts his teeth to the right side of Raz's neck, after the vulnerable jugular vein which could end this fight quickly.*
*And he puts them to it hard.*

Raz looks over at Aries out of the corner of his eye, and then starts laughing at Aries.
Did I forget to mention, by blood has been replaced with neo-plasmatic energy. All your going to do is burn yourself.
Raz quickly brings his fist up, connecting with Aries solarplexes in a somewhat modified uppercut, letting Aries bite loose. Raz's tentacles then let go of Aries, as Raz flips backward going for a flipkick to the throat.

*Spits, feeling like he's biting on some really hot pizza, and spits, his mouth scalded.*
*Then Raz's punch connects, all his breath exploding out of him, stars appearing before his eyes. Moving backwards in something of a freefall, as Raz's tentacles come loose, he finds his body isn't responding to his brain's screams to hit him back. Raz's flipkick takes Aries under the jaw and snaps his head up, sending him careening into the stone wall about the bastion.*
*Aries sits there and groans for a second, covered in pieces of stone and dust from the traumatized wall, then wills himself to spit the blood out of his mouth and stands again.*
*He looks Raz dead in the eye, then shakes the dust off his coat, and settles back into a Tiger stance, giving him The Thousand Yard Stare.*
*Then he brings his right hand up and waves him in.*

Raz had placed his hand behind his back after the flip kick, and he slowly started to move towards Aries.
Hey Aries...
White Energy quickly began to form in Raz's hand as he distracted Aries.
Catch This!!!
Raz brings his hand forward, sending a beam of the energy straight for Aries.

*Aries brings both blades forward, tip to tip, then quickly pulls them apart, hitting the scissor catch, in a Rainfall Distortion move. The result is a small, temporary hole in space, ripped open right before Aries, which begins sucking in pretty much everything about it, as a black hole might.*
*Aries stands his ground as his own move threatens to suck him in, yet the blast is quickly drawn in, and vanishes.*
*A second later, the hole closes, the wind ceases, and Aries brings the blades together again, this time down by his right hip, edge to edge. This time in a Tempus Notus move, he draws the left blade along the right, creating a collection of sparks which coalesce themselves on the right blade, causing it to glow.*
*He rakes it along the entire blade's length, then draws the left one up and away from it, the right still glowing, then launches his right blade out at Raz, the energy freeing itself and making straight for his chest with lightning speed and accuracy.*
