Kokuryu Tournament

[Ninmast]

(They're lasers, they travel at light speed. So she wouldn't be able to see and respond to the shots, themselves. Nothing wrong with the post, just pointing out. Also, it wouldn't have reflected off the dagger. You described it as just an ordinary dagger that discharges upon impact with something solid.)

But he had stopped firing after he rounded the corner. He had been using the weapons fire to keep her occupied as he did so, and when her scythe swung around, it hit nothing but the wall, itself. Wherever he had gone once rounding the corner, he hadn't stayed put.

(Sorry about the long wait. I made the post hours ago, but the internet dropped out.)

[Psi]

(Srry, was thinking of star wars for some reason )

"Arghh" She grunted, looking around. She rounded the corner looking for her opponent who had run away she thought.

"Come out..."

[Ninmast]

In truth, the moment the man had rounded the corner, he had actually run onto the wall, his footwear keeping him attached to the metal siding. In going on around and up, he had brought himself onto the roof, and now, he leaned over and opened fire at the woman from above, aiming to hit her in the head where her armor didn't protect her. It was an aimed shot, which would mean it would be spot-on, instead of the open-barrel approach he had used before.

[Ninmast]

(Just for clarification, what just happened? He skinned her down the side of her skull but didn't actually penetrate the bone? What part of the head? The face? The back? The side?)

[Toriji]

"Damn!" He held back on throwing the claw when he saw the flames rush in on him. He sprawled out his arms and gave a violent twisting jerk, sending him into a tight spiral. The flames contacted him, singing the flesh slightly, but was spun away from his body before it could harm him badly. He continued his spin even after the flames had ceased, aiming himself at the spectre.

[Psi]

Zionix was busy looking around for her opponet as the laser hit. She had been turning round and round looking for him when the laser struck her at and angle, creating a whole near the back of the head. She collapsed instantly to the ground, blood pouring out from the damaged scalp and skull.

She gasped and pain and writhed on the ground holding the back of her head where she had been shot. The pain was almost unbearable and even though she was still barely conscious, she could feel herself slipping into darkness.

' Hold on! ' She scolded herself, knowing that if she could keep awake for a few more moments, she might be able to turn the tables.

(She was looking around and basically it entered from the top and exited out the back, missing her brain . It put a hole in her head though.)

[Ninmast]

From the rooftop, noticing her squirm, Hawkins intended to put her out of her misery with two more shots, intending to finish the job. If her squirming kept his shots from connecting, he'd simply draw the other one and let out a flurry of them to do it.

[Psi]

The first shot pierced through her arm that was holding her head, barely missing her nose, the other hit the ground near her. She made he body go limp, the hole in her head fully healed. The one in her arm would be healed in a few seconds, considering the wound was only about half an inch around. He body closes the whole first, then works on the inside, so that even thought her body was still healing, she had no outward signs of damage.

He hand still covered her head so that Hawkins couldn't possibly know that it was healed. The one in her arm healing. Each arm still held their weapons, though loosely, and her dagger hand lay under her, near her belt. She looked dead, from left, right, below, and above.

[Ninmast]

(Only minor cuts and scratches heal in moments according to her profile. Those shouldn't be healing that fast, they're much more severe.)

But the man above didn't just fire once. Not content with the additional two, he did as he intended and drew the second, raining lasers down upon her unarmored head. He knew combat enough not to take chances when an oddly off blow somehow struck them still. If his shot shouldn't have killed her, then it was doubtful it did, and he wasn't about to fall for the old opossum trick.

[Psi]

(Like I said, they aren't that big so the holes get closed first to give the outward appearance that she is healed, while her body still works on the inside.)

Something was wrong. There was a second when Hawkins began to draw his second weapon that Zionix figured it out. He would fire again. Most people would come down after that, others would continue to fire. Zionix had noticed that only single lasers were coming down and not pairs, he was reading another attack.

As the lasers rained down Zionix vanished, the lasers penetrating the concrete below.

[Ninmast]

(Um, no, I was just clarifying that what he was intending to do was what he went ahead and did. There was no pause. And you have no method to teleport in combat, you can only use it to travel through time and space, and you would have to reach down and activate it, which should be rather difficult to do while you're being shot.)

[Psi]

(Confused again here. . .

Her hand lay near her belt, meaning she doesn't need to reach down and touch it but rather a few inches over. Also, driven by adrenaline she could push through the pain and reach down and touch it, but she is only about and inch or two away from it and all she needs to do is touch it and think of where to go. It's called a belt of teleportation. . . It teleports. . . Move through space/time = Teleportation. . .

As for what he did. Umm, why didn't you stop me one post ago and tell me that he didn't shoot her. . . She would have activated her belt then. . . )

[Ninmast]

(He ... DID shoot her ... that's the problem ... it's rather hard to concentrate on anything when you're getting shot in the head ... And your dagger hand is down there, which means it's occupied. You would have to pull yourself up, put the dagger down and reach down, all an entirely detailed motion for someone trying to pretend to be dead WHILE under fire.)

[Toriji]

[I'd really much prefer if you both did this on pms. And for the record, I was intending for informal challenges to be dealt with after the tournaments, AoD.]

[Ninmast]

(If we can finish it in a post or two, it's usually easier than jumping immediately to PMs, as it's a little faster. Any longer, to where it actually detracts from the RP, we do our best to go to it. As for informal challenges, waiting to the end of the tournament would have taken forever.)
