Fight Club Time Again (I had requests for it)

[light_of_willpower]

Who: Trunks Brief (light_of_willpower) and you!
Where: Training Gym
When: Day 20
What: The Usual Fight club training. Where people come to spar and practice and learn with each other.
Warnings: Occasional language and violence? Also guns/firearms.

This time Trunks didn't bother to announce the Fight Club over the ICP. Not beyond a short announcement of day and time. The Club was already mentioned in train literature and most people knew about it, or could find out easily.

So instead he did his usual set-up. Marking off an area safely for ranged weapons and fire-arms, ensuring practice weapons and mats were all available. Even making sure there were first aid kids and an 'off-limits' area just for safety. Then, he's there as usual--to supervise, but also to train just like everyone else.

OOC:general set up is 'Ranged area demarcated by cones' 'off limits/healing area demarcated by cones' and the rest of the space covered in mats with training dummies set up

[Nia sets up another shield, gritting her teeth as the bombardment pierces through.]

Not bad, but you haven't seen anything yet! Redeeming Strike!

[A torrent of water bursts all around Nia, an unavoidable attack. Where the water strikes, Nozomi feels her body weaken as select cells wither at Nia's command. With every impact, the bruises and cuts that Nozomi's attack inflicted on Nia fade away, as if she were stealing her opponent's very lifeforce.]

[cureofmanyworlds]

[Nozomi gasped in pain as Nia’s magic struck home, sapping her strength as she did. She knows she’s done for if she doesn’t act.]

Geh… need a breather…!

ARMOR PURGE!

[And if it works, Nozomi’s costume would glow and burst violently, intending on pushing the water away… and leaving Nozomi vulnerable with a pink aura around her body.]

[healerscorned]

Yer gonna regret that! Hydro Blast!

[Another crescent of water flies towards Nozomi, though this one is more blunt impact than razor blade.]

[cureofmanyworlds]

[Nozomi crosses her arms in front of her as her old bracers reform on her arms, taking the shot. Her arms are going to be sore later.]

Just need… a little more time! PRECURE DREAM ATTACK!

[And she launches a burst of energy shaped like a pink butterfly at Nia before she focuses on gathering back magic.]

[healerscorned]

Urgh!

[Nia's bruised and battered once more with that attack, but once again it all fades away with a cry of "Redemption!" She rushes in, attempting to stop Nozomi from powering up again with a slash of her sword.]

[cureofmanyworlds]

Woah!

[It works as Nozomi’s forced to block Nia’s slash with her own sword, struggling to push her back.]

Can’t let you… win here!

[healerscorned]

Little thing you should know about me: I don't give up! Water Flower!

[Another line of geysers rises up below Nozomi, these also blunted so as to not cause enough damage that Nia would have to resurrect her opponent.]

[cureofmanyworlds]

What the…? No!

[Nozomi can’t escape in time as the geyser hits her from below. The hoops her hair curls into when transformed are pulled out as the geyser pulls her sword and transformation device off of her as she’s pushed away, landing on the ground with a groaning thud.]

[healerscorned]

Woo-hoo! Nia the Unstoppable wins again! Still, you put up a damn good fight. If I'd tried to fight you as a Driver, I'd probably have lost that.

[Nia's hands glow, healing Nozomi at the very least of the cellular degeneration she inflicted during the fight.]

[cureofmanyworlds]

[Once Nozomi feels the magic healing her, she let out a soft sigh and smiled as she sat up.]

You were off your game at first, but you quickly came back. There was a lot of change there at the end.

Me? I shouldn’t of used that Armor Purge.

[healerscorned]

Seems like a "high risk high reward" sort of move. Good for if you've got someone to watch your back, not so great in one-on-one.

[cureofmanyworlds]

Yeah, I… panicked there. Whatever magic you used frightened me and I needed it stopped.

I should have pushed through.

[healerscorned]

Yeah, using a Special Art like that was probably a bit overkill. That feeling of weakness you got? That was me killing off cells in your muscles and nervous system. Not really the sort of thing I should probably be using in a friendly sparring match.

[She's not even going to comment on people calling her powers magic anymore. "Sufficiently advanced technology" and all that.]

[cureofmanyworlds]

[And Nozomi boops her nose at that.]

I told you to cut loose, so that’s on me. Besides, I…

…I had fun.

[She looks away bashfully at that.]

[healerscorned]

Hey, I like a good scrap from time to time myself. Maybe not the way Perun would like it, but the adrenaline kick is nice.

[cureofmanyworlds]

How would they like it?

[healerscorned]

Ah, bit of an inside joke there. Perun's the sort who's always challenging her limits on what she can handle as a form of training, so there's a half-serious rumor going around the merc camp that she's actually just a masochist.

[cureofmanyworlds]

Ohhh, I see!

[And Nozomi ponders a bit.]

Think we could try another round?

[healerscorned]

...You entirely sure you're not like Perun? I'm bloody wiped after a fight that intense.

[cureofmanyworlds]

[And Nozomi laughs at that.]

No, no, not now! Later! I’m like you - exhaus… ted… uuugh…

[And the adrenaline wears off, dropping Nozomi to the ground in a small sea of magenta hair.]

[healerscorned]

If you need something to keep you going, I could give you a good cold splash.

[cureofmanyworlds]

You… you better not…

[She’s too tired to stop her, though.]

[healerscorned]

Nah, I was just yanking yer chain. I'll let you catch yer breath in peace.

[Nia sits on the ground across from Nozomi, not particularly caring if doing so in her leotard-robe fusion draws attention to how revealing it is.]

[cureofmanyworlds]

[And as Nozomi lays there, she notices how Nia looks.]

That’s a nice outfit… why look like that? It’s revealing…

[healerscorned]

Hah, you think this is revealing? You should see what Mythra or Kora wear. Blades have standards that are just a bit different from humans. As for why I wear it, I guess you could say I was born in it. 'Sides, my other outfit when I'm not wearing what the Train provided is a form-fitting jumpsuit. Why would I hide hips like these?
