Roleplay:Trials of Conquest/Archived Matches

Abumi vs Jaeger (Finished)

 * The announcer appears to the crowd on a small podium with a microphone in hand; the crowd cheering as the first fight of the Trial of Conquest kicks off. "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the first ever Trial of Conquest!" With that, he turns to the north entrance with a hand extended. "A now, for the opponent; the Marksman of Death, Jaeger the Jaguar!"

Jaeger appears from the entrance; his body is bare besides a pair of leather shorts and a small tunic; a quiver on his back filled with arrows with his bow at the ready. "Come on, let's make this quick!" He yelled, taunting the opposition while the crowd cheers.

"And the challenger, Abumi!"

Abumi:*Thinking* Better keep myself a mystery, don't need him plotting against me straight away *Abumi keeps all her weapons hidden, she then bows to Jaeger, and takes a fighting stance* I hope you don't plan on a simple fight. *Thinking* ''That guy at the counter said this guy was fast with that bow, I have to watch out for that. The traps can be countered quiet simply, by using my bo staff as a balance to keep myself elavated the trick is figuring out where he's placed them.*''


 * "Heh, don;t give me that nonsense..." He was quite a sassy person, this Jaeger; possibly a bit overconfident. He quickly, almost unnoticably, reaches back for an arrow, and loads it against the string of his bow and then lifts it. "Pow." Jaeger exclaimed in a humourous manner, before lowering his bow. "Too quick? Get used to it", he snarled with a toothy grin. afterwards, the announcer called for the start of the match and the crowd began cheering; some for Jaeger and some for Abumi. Jaeger kneeled down and then grazed his hands across the soil. "Hmmm... slightly disturbed... this should be fine..." He said while standing up; his remark was a bit farfetched, but nothing could be taken to chance. "So, show me what you got, babe."

Abumi:*Thinking* I Musn't get angry that's what he wants *Keeps here eyes on where he felt the ground, she summons her bo-staff, she appears to have memerized where felt the ground. Shuriken fly from her sleeve. She tests his agility. She must observe him to know where she stands in the fight*


 * Jaeger smirked as a few kunai proceeded towards him, but he merely lifted the bow and splayed his fingers outwards, and doing so created three other arrows; he let go of the string, with each arrows hitting the shuriken out of the sky, but one arrow specifically did not stop in its tracks and proceeded to travel towards Abumi as a good speed, ready to pierce her chest.

Abumi:*Smirks as she lifts her bo-staff. She spins it in a very fast motion deflecting the arrow, she rushes foward this time sending foward kunai. She appears to charge at Jaeger but instead jumps over him using her staff in a helicopter blad like fashion. The kunai charge straight at Jaeger.*


 * "Ah crap!" Jaeger remarked, as his rolled out of the way of the kunai, tumbling to the ground. he held himself up with two hands before rolling onto his back and grasping a green arrow from his quiver and shot at towards Abumi's leg while she was flying in the air.

Abumi:*Is hit with the arrow in her leg* They are fast, she thought. *However Abumi used this as a way to crash down using her pole to try, and hit Jaeger with extreme force.*


 * Jaeger wasn't paying much attention to her moves, and ended up getting a face full of staff before collapsing to the ground with great force, but had the time to roll away from Abumi as well. he smirked as he saw the arrow in her leg, placing his hand on the ground to keep himself steady; that would of probably concussed him if he was anyone else. "Damn you..." he snarled, rubbing his face; there wasn't any blood, but he felt numb. "It doesn't matter... that arrow was coated in one of my anesthetic poisons... You will begin to lose feeling in your leg in a short while. After I take out both of your legs, you'll only be able to crawl after me while I pick you off from a distance." He readies his bow, this time drawing out several orange arrows. He loaded one upon the string whilst holding the others. "Let the fun begin!" he exclaimed, firing off the arrow towards Abumi's arm.

Abumi:*She is somewhat worried, but tries not to show it. She summons forth Kasuga, and deflects each arrow, thinking* ''I have to end this one quick, I can do without a leg for now, but I can't afford to get it. He's got me on defense I have to swing this back around before it's too late.'' *She throws a good 3 kunai at Jaeger. She thenuses her Kagecho Glider to soar through the sky. Whilst the kunai fly towards Jaefger, he'll have to defend himself. She then flies overhead of Jaeger, she unleashed more kunai at him. Within the mix of kunai, Abumi throws the same poison arrow hoping it still had poison. Even if he could block the arrow, he probably couldn't dodge all of the kunai. She uses the uses the Kagecho Glider to fly behind him throwing a few more kunai, this time adding shuriken. She did this all in impressive time, so far the posion showed no signs of spreading throughout the leg.*


 * It was an interesting state of affairs at the moment, and his opponent proved she was more than capable, but that didn't mean Jaeger was inexperienced enough to get caught. As Abumi threw her kunai at both air and ground level, Jaeger just ducked and rolled fowards, seeing as both points of contact from the kunai where at a single point and not in an area. As she landed behind him, Jaeger flipped up and fired more orange arrows at her. However, only a few arrows managed to get passed the kunai, while some of them clashed with her projectiles. Although, a stray shuriken managed to find its way passed and pierced through his shoulder. He knew not to take it out should he suffer from blood loss.

Abumi:*Abumi did two backflips, but she yelped slightly in pain. The poison had started to take affect.* Time to finish this *Abumi said this as she summoned forthher Uryu and began to spin around. After gaining massive momentum, Abumi launched it in Jaeger's direction. Though with a limp, Abumi managed to run at an amazing speed, and jump on the sword. The large sword provided a large platform for Abumi to stand on as she controlled it like a board. It speeds by heading straight for Jaeger as it comes close, Abumi jumps with her body facing the roof she summons the Kagecho Glider onto her back as she just barerly glides over him. She lands right behind him and grabs his back* Give up.


 * "Not likely..." Jaeger smirked as she landed behind him. Shifting forwards, he dragged her to wear there was his hand print, triggering off the trap he had secretly placed; the trap set off and caused a jet of flame to shoot out and scorch her body, but also causing the material she was clenching to burn away, releasing him. As he fell, he rolled underneath the sword as it flew overhead and towards Abumi.

Abumi:*Abumi summoned her Bo-Staff and the Uryu dissapeared. She fanned away most of the flames, though getting hit by a few. She Took the ribbons from her hair, and one around the cut on her leg, and the other around the burn mark. The pain increased ever so slightly, however it felt like an inmeasurable amount to Abumi. However Abumi could tell the battle was still not over, she wouldn't lose here, not this early. She had to prove herself, as a woman, and prove to everyone that she was a warrior. She wasn't just fighting for the tornament, but to become stronger, and to show everyone that nothing, not even injuries can stop her. She began to pant slightly.* It's time to end this *Abumi clasped her hands together. The arena rumbled, multiple weapons appeared, all of her weapons, with hundreds, near thousands, of kunai and shuriken. They all stood above her.* You made this a timed battle, well now the time is in my favor. *At least 50 kunai shot out at Jaeger, it seemed Abumi did want this to end, she had brought forth one of her strongest attacks*


 * "It's now or never!" Jaeger swung the bow and, within a flash, changed into a long-handle sword; the bow was its handle but the blade was at equal length. Charging it, he dodged, blocked and parried as many kunai as he could, but he was getting hit regardless; shuriken pierced his legs, a kunai skinned across his choulder, and another pierced into his side. When he got as close as he could, he took a lunge towards Abumi's abdomen, aiming to strike her stomach, granting a painful strike and a slow killing blow.

Abumi:Check-mate~Body Improsonment! *Abumi managed to jump away though getting hit slightly, the weapons crashed down attempting to pierce through/crush Jaeger. Abumi held her stomach in slight pain. It was close, he had almost completely got that deadly blow. She began panting as the smoke clouded the area where Jaeger had hopefully been put to waste. Abumi had waited for him to get close, knowing that she couldn't keep up this battle of "dodgeball" forever. Then she struck him down, do where as even if he did survive he would most likely be trapped underneath the weight of all of her weapons. Just to be sure however, Abumi summoned her Bo-Staff and used it as a platform, she couldn't risk setting off his last trap before that smoke cleared. However when Abumi did summon her staff the other weapons did not dissapear.*


 * The weapons came crashing down, as Jaeger did nothing but tried to cover whatever he could with his sword. One after another the weapons crashed like a meteorite; the ground shoot and the earth began to crack and crumble under the pressure, until five cracks in the ground became apparent and widened. The crowd, who was cheering, fell silent; no one knew that the match would go as far as this, and they weren't even sure if they liked it or not. Moments passed, second by second, but the tension began to cut through everyone's mind like a hot knife through butter; was he dead? Was he still alive? Near enough everyone wanted him to of been dead; still being conscious after a catastrophe like that must be endearingly painful. After some time, parts of the mount began to shake; a sword fell from near the mound and bits of other weaponry began to move. Crawling, barely conscious, battered and bruised and probably with broken bones in a multitude of places, was Jaeger, still clutching his weapon. "I... can't... lose!" He couldn't speak in a single sentence, let alone fight, but he had to. He staggered, sword in hand, towards his opponent. As he got halfway, he collapsed, but he just stuck his sword in the ground and dragged his body along, an inch at a time. The crowd just watched in awe as he continued to fight; anyone else would of given up at this point. As he got to his opponent, he placed a hand, sluggishly, on her feet, trying to push himself back up, but he couldn't. He laid there, gasping for air; one of his lungs must of collapsed from a puncture wound. He smirked, and clenched his hand around her foot, desperately trying to fight back. "Gah... you know... your feet... gnh... they stink... hahahaha..." With that, his grip loosened, and he had falling either unconscious, or had died.

After so much time had passed that almost felt like days, the crowd began to applaud, slowly, but then the entire crowd began cheering; chanting the names of both Abumi and Jaeger; regardless of what other people may think, this was definitely one of the more epic and emotional battles.

"Such a match was what was destined for this coliseum..." a voice was heard, ringing out across the coliseum. Before Saizo could speak further, the Green Dragon priests were already working on Jaeger's body; his wounds were cured and his life restored. Jaeger stood, still dizzy from the fight, but was supported onto a stretcher as the medics arrived at the battleground. He looked at Abumi, smiling sincerely. "You're a great opponent... but, don't expect me to hold back next time, sweetums." He gave her a thumbs up. "Oh, and, you have cute feet, hahaha." He joked, chuckling to himself before being carried away.

"Both of you put up a great fight," Saizo had remarked; he was pleased with the match. "This match will go down in history of the coliseum as one of the best yet. However, enough with the applause; it's time to calculate your points."

Strategy: 110 (The most impressive bit was that you kept an eye out of where Jaeger placed his hands; that was where he laid his traps, so kudos for spotting what I thought you wouldn't. You also attempted to use Jaeger's own arrow against him, with was also a good technique.)

"Well well... what an interesting turn of events..." Saizo remarked; he clapped the girl on her performance.

With that, the crowd cheered immensly; not only did she win her first match but got enough points to advance to the next rank as well. "Now, with the match over, ladies and gentlemen, refreshments will be served in the lounge.
