Scene #2996: WMAT AQ2 Fuki vs Iria

Owner	Pose
Fuki	It's a beautiful day in the Papaya Island stadium and as always, it's filled to the brim with people from flyers to sitters to everything in between! The second round of qualifiers for the A bracket was mentioned and, after a long awaited schedule, it was announced that two would be fighting here today. Coming in from one end of the arena is... a black speck. Fuki, the six inch Shinki, is trailed by a white light as her black and purple armor take over her form, followed by a rifle upon her back and a scythe in one hand. Cameras zoom in on the Shinki and the crowd cheers. She got far last year but this year, with the new qualifications, she got her wings handed to her by a pair of Confederates. "Hello, everyone, let's cheer for me, praise me, love me, I'll move beyond this!"
Iria	Six inches tall? If there's one thing Iria's learned, it's that you don't judge someone by their size. After all, big things come in small packages, and that's an example Iria made known when she took out Zeiram. Still, she has no idea what Fuki is capable of at this time, so all she can do is prepare herself mentally and physically and hope for the best. She waves and smiles as she comes out, although it's not the thrill of victory that she's looking for. It's the fact that she's going to be looking at how she can improve her overall skills while battling this shinki. Small definitely, but who knows what she's capable of? Iria looks to Fuki and smiles. "You may be small, but I'm sure you've got a lot of capabilities! I'm ready when you are!"
Fuki	"I hope you had a good last battle, Iria." she comments, a smile behind that fox mask of hers. "Perhaps this might be your last." confidence in the face of danger is something not so unique to Fuki, in a world of giants, it's hard to beat someone like them, but.. with the WMAT, at least she can practice. She gives a brief nod and the black wings spread out from her back and she takes off into the air! Dashing towards Iria, the scythe is replaced with the rifle, a mag lock on the back keeping the blade in check. "I've been ready!" she replies back, making a strafing run with a few test shots with the rifle at a low intensity, small purple beams flinging from the barrel end towards the human. "Let's see what you can do..."
Iria	Small, maybe, but the gunfire hits her armor square on. And the damage is definitely noticeable, as it pierces through her armor, leaving a few smoking holes where they hit. They don't exactly hurt Iria as much as they could've, but they do make Iria believe that this girl is small but packs a big punch! "Not bad, looks like I'm going to have to take precautions with you!" Iria draws her pistol and loads a clip into it. "This may not seem fair, but trust me, my pistol is only a slingshot compared to my other weapons." She fires a single shot, the tiny bullet most likely making its point.
Fuki	The smoking holes make that strafing run a success and with a quick turn, ... oh hello pistol. BANG The 'tiny' bullet hits home and knocks her back quite a ways in the air, the bullet cracks the armor around Fuki's body, a chunk or two falling off and breaking apart on the ground. "You know, I just polished it." she mutters, plotting a flight path once more as windows pop up into her eyes and even one in front of that mask, before she nods and they dissapear. Diving down, she aims with her rifle once more, following a flying solution made quickly, ducking between Iria's legs and letting out a few shots with that rifle once more, it did good the first run, let's try that again!
Iria	The rifle bolts hit Iria in the leg, and she drops to one knee, though it's more of an instinctual reaction rather than from actual pain. Once she realizes there's nothing actually damaging her there, she pops up and shakes her head. "Looks like you're going to be quite the challenge for me. I love a good challenge in a fight!" She smiles a little. "But I'm just warming up!" Iria pulls back a little from her opponent, firing another shot. "Sorry about your armor, but I'm sure they can polish it again for free!" She says with an evil smirk.
Fuki	That damnable pistol strikes again, blasting more of her armor away and knocking her around, sending her into a spin from the force of it. "PUll up, pull up!" she shouts, trying to counter the spin by spreading a wing in the other way.. "Nnnngh!" Shooting back up into the air, the rifle's replaced with her scythe, giving a light nod. "Keeping away is not a good idea, time to get in close..." she mutters to herself, shooting back towards the human with a specific direction in mind, disabling that pistol. As she gets close, she brings her scythe back before trying to dig it into the pistol-using hand, hoping to cut a few nerves there to make the hand useless before zooming back off and trying to keep close to Iria's body, to risk her shooting or injuring herself trying to get to her, doing this by encircling her torso and legs.
Iria	Cut a few nerves? Ha, more like causing a scratch to Iria's hand is more like it. She smirks a little as she watches Fuki come in and try to slash her hand. "Ha, nice try, but you're gonna have to do better than that!" She says with a grin. "You've got guts, I'll give you that, but you need more skill to fight with me!" She holsters her gun for the time being. "If you want to fight melee style, then why didn't you say so?" She adds, before attempting to swat Fuki away, albeit somewhat gently as opposed to using full force. Hey, she's small after all!
Fuki	Fuki grumbles as she miscalculated the slice and with that, the hand swats at her and knocks her away into the ground, chipping off a few things from her armor and denting her flight pack. "Miscalculation! That's all!" she replies in kind, "I have the skill, otherwise I wouldn't have made Lieutenant!" The scythe dissapears from view and is replaced by a pair of kunai that are immediately launched at and replaced with more, filling a small area with flying shards of metal in rapid progression. While throwing them, Fuki, takes flight once more and speeds up, trying to keep a bit out of distance but enough to avoid that damn pistol!
Iria	The little kunai are small, but painful. They do a decent amount of damage to Iria and scratch the exposed flesh on her hands. She owws a little, looking at the mostly minor wounds, realizing that they could've been a lot worse had they been a lot bigger. Fuki's only six inches tall, sure, but she's packing a mighty punch. Fortunately for her, Iria isn't about to go for her pistol again just yet. She's trying to figure out how to deal with this opponent without overexerting herself. "I ain't surprised, since any elite can reach a rank of some sort in their faction if they work hard enough for it!" Iria comments as she takes out a couple of the kunai and, in a sudden instinct, tries to toss them back at Fuki. "Here, keep the change!"
Fuki	In a stunning reversal AND a first for the Shinki... she's had her own kunai thrown back at her which shred the wings and severs them from the flight pack. Fortunately, she doesn't need them to maintain flight fortunately, but stability might have to come into question after that. She shakes her head and pulls back up in flight. Now what... It's too early to use that weapon and she'd have to get back into range. Sure, let's do that! Fuki smirks a bit before taking a quick dash forward in the air, closing in towards Iria. The glint of the sun on her feet's talons as they're outstretched, aiming for that arm once more to grab on and rotate around using her flight pack to provide the motion, intent on scouring six lines into that arm.
Iria	Iria twists out of the way just in the nick of time, and draws her gun at the sight of this advantageous spot. "You missed me," She says with a laugh. "But I don't think I'm gonna miss you... in more ways than one at that!" She chuckles and then double checks her clip. "Still loaded!" She says with a smirk. Iria doesn't even wait for Fuki to turn around. She decides to fire a shot while she's still recovering. "Think fast!"
Fuki	The shot rings true and the attack tears off one of Fuki's legs, sending it flying along with the bullet, a muffled scream is given out by the Shinki, her mask falling off and showing a not so happy looking Fuki. "I've had enough of you." she chides, voice dripping with venom, speaking of venom, a flash is given and out comes another scythe, dripping with a green liquid. "I've had enough of everyone bigger than me..." The flight pack spools up and sends the Shinki flying again, this time at a high angle towards Iria, and while ascending, she swings the scythe rapidly and unaimed, sending spatterings of specialy crafted acid, one that wouldn't eat away at her blade, towards Iria! "Say Hello from Handsome Jack!"
Iria	Acid? Even if it's small, it still hurts quite a bit. The acid splashes onto Iria's exposed skin, causing her to yell in pain and drop a couple of choice words at the same time. The grin she once had is gone now. "OK, you've pushed me too far! Now I'm really goin' after ya!" Iria rolls her arm around a little as if to loosen it up before looking at Fuki. "You may be small but you're a pain in the neck!" Iria's done holding back this time as she attempts to strike at Fuki with her fist this time, instead of just trying to swat her away. "You're gonna regret messing with me!"
Fuki	The strike sends her flying... in the opposite direction than where she wanted to go, the Shinki's jetpack kicking into high gear to try to stop the backwards acceleration, more and more of that armor being knocked off, but Fuki's a tough little Shinki, "Good, I was hoping you were just playing like a toy, kid." she chides, warning signs blaring into her vision.. ARMOR INTEGRITY LOW! RISK OF OVERLOAD OVERDRIVE MODE ACTIVE? Y/N? _ The last one gives Fuki an idea.. a risky one but... no, not yet. She needs to win this but with Iria's capabilities, she isn't even sure what she has left. One more run.. then... then she'll unleash the overdrive. Clinging to the wall, Fuki's acid scythe dissapears and is replaced back with the rifle in a flash of white light and, with a click, a larger blast is fired off from the barrel, thicker than last but less numerous. "Maybe but... we'll see how it plays out!"
Iria	Thicker definitely means more powerful. It might be small but it sure hurts like hell. It penetrates through Iria's armor and singes her flesh, causing her to yell out in pain. Suddenly, Iria has truly stopped seeing Fuki as a little robot and more like an annoying opponent that proves big things really do come in small packages. There's also the fact that they're in opposing factions, but that's supposed to be irrelevant for the time being. "I'm not playing around anymore!" Iria snaps as she goes in with a spinning backhand this time. "You're just a bug to me, albeit one with weapons."
Fuki	Fuki moves to chase the lasers she's fired, watchimg them penetrate and singe, the sound of the yell causing her to smile and, with a quick loudspeaker hijack, she plays back that yell for Iria to yell out over... and over... and over. "Hear that, that's the sound of your pain. Something for you to drown yourself in!" Fuki fires off a few more shots from that rifle, but as she gets close, the hand grazes over her and dislocates her arm, sending the Shinki into a wince of pain, shaking her head and popping it back in. A small shimmer comes the entrance of another kuna, thrown at the back of Iria's neck as she zooms past her in a strafing run once more.
Iria	More hits from Fuki, and they're small but they're definitely annoying. She grunts a little then looks to Fuki. "That's real funny," Iria replies, her voice dripping with sarcasm. "You've got some neat technology, have you considered selling it for a profit?" Iria's really not happy with this shiki being her opponent. "You're probably gonna need the money after I'm done with you!" Iria adds as she attempts a swift kick at Fuki. It may seem unfair but this is the WMAT, where anything goes.
Fuki	"I've got nothing to sell." Fuki states dryly, though with the swift kick getting her in her back, she goes down and crashes into the arena's floor, bouncing a few times before skidding to a stop and falling over the edge. While there, Fuki doesn't seem to move, various warning buzzers going off in her head and windows popping up, rolling over. OVERDRIVE MODE ACTIVE! INTEGRITY AT LESS THAN FIFTY PERCENT! FAILSAFES DEACTIVATED! ACTIVATING COMBAT PROGRAM EPSILON It takes a good minute for Fuki to reboot and float back up, but something seems different on her face, her eyes are red and lifeless, and small windows are popped up in front of them with various bits of red text flashing and scrolling on them. "I won't kill you... but I'm going to maim you so much that you'll wish you never entered the WMAT..." A swig of some liquid from a can that flashes into existance then thrown away causes the flightpack to emit red sparks and with this, Fuki's taking off once more, the flash and her kama are brought into play while her scythe once more dissapears into an unknown dimension. "BRING IT ON!" she shouts, diving down to strike at Iria's thighs.
Iria	Iria finds herself hit once again, and now her patience has run out. "All right, no more Miss Nice Girl! It's time to go up to eleven!" Iria draws her gun again and loads a fresh clip. "I'm gonna make you regret having me as an opponent!" Apparently, her patience has run out and made her forget what this is about. "I hope you're ready! Here it comes!" Iria fires yet another shot.
Fuki	There's Fuki when she's not mad, there's Fuki when she's hurt and feels like things are okay, and then there's Overdriven Fuki. The latter is normally dangerous, throwing herself at whatever comes her way just to get at her target to finish it. No words are exchanged this time as the bullet slams right into Fuki and penetrates, making a decent sized hole in her abdomen, sparks flying and liquid leaking from the newly created hole as the Shinki turns around to make another go. Fuki's in massive pain, despite the outward appearance, the bullet tore a few things she actually needed to make sure she could stay in this fight, but never the less, she presses on and makes a dive towards Iria's chest, trying to dig those twin blades into them, attempting to gash deep into the sternum, avoiding the heart but trying to bring her down none the less.
Iria	Yeah, that is unexpected... and unacceptable. Iria finds her flesh pierced, and while it doesn't go too deep, it's very painful. Iria yells loudly, dropping to the ground in pain and dropping some rather creative obscenities all the same. When you're in pain, you tend to improvise quite a few choice words. Iria's trying to get the pain out of her body while she yells, the adrenaline flowing through her body almost like a makeshift painkiller to try to take her mind off of this whole thing. "Dammit! Dammit! DAMMIT!" Iria screams, trying to push herself back up. "Can't take this!" She looks at Fuki and scowls even deeper than before. "I hope you've made peace with whoever your maker is, because you're about to meet them!" Iria wheels back, gritting her teeth through the pain, then attempts to deliver a swift uppercut to Fuki. It may seem unfair, but after what Fuki did, it's a fair trade in Iria's opinion.
Fuki	The feel of flesh being dug into causes a smile, if brief, upon Fuki's face while her chest rises and falls rapidly, the Shinki's losing energy rapidly and it's not going to last. The uppercut, however, rips her off of Iria's body, kama's going with and to the sky she goes, battered, broken and almost in many peices. One of the arms falls off, dropping the kama with it before it disspaears into Fuki's slipway then its twin follows, but with this, Fuki glows once more. "Expulsion." she starts, aiming downwads, falling head first towards Iria. "Death Blossom." One of Fuki's flight pack engines fire, sending the girl into a tailspin as her slipway opens up before her and a rain of Kunai come firing from what looks to be out of the slipway, only Fuki's grabbing and throwing with one hand quickly, in every direction regardless of aim. Some of them make small craters into the ground for those that miss but...
Iria	A rain of kunai? Too bad Iria didn't remember to bring her umbrella, because they catch her quite a bit and she finds herself getting hit quite a bit. She's got more cuts than even she thought could be possible, and she's yelling loudly. In fact, the blood loss has her down on one knee slightly. "Owww... my... what did I do?" After babbling a few more random questions, Iria glares at Fuki. "Sorry to tell you this, but one of us has to fall and it's not gonna be me.... at least not willingly..." She attempts to jab at Fuki, albeit weakly due to her weakened condition.
Fuki	Fuki's rain of kunai does something but is it enough. Iria's on one knee, is she giving up? Did Fuki actually win?! No. No she did not. Hearing her voice snaps her back out of her overdrive state a bit late... "No way..." she whispers, the Shinki's eyes widening as they return with 'color'. "PUll up... pull up. Pull up!" she shouts, but the pack is locked in its position, only thing now is to wait. The jab connects, Fuki's systems blaring out all manner of warnings and cautions as she's sent flying into the stadium wall, what could be considered weak to one is a lot mmore than that to a Shinki. Embedded in the wall, Fuki's eyes close and the armor falls off of her chest, revealing a few flashing lights. Her CMS. It's only a minute later that gravity decides to take hold and pull Fuki out of the wall, crashing into the ground.
Iria	Iria is declared the winner after Fuki goes out for the count. There are cheers and there are jeers. Iria just gives a slight wave then heads off to get treated. She looks over at Fuki and gives a thumbs up. "Good fight, kid," She says, although her voice is labored. She heads off of the fighting area and heads towards the hospital. She may have taken on a small opponent, but big things truly DO come in small packages! "That was a real interesting fight Iria," Kei says as she joins Iria behind the scenes. "I never knew things like that could exist," Iria replies to Kei, still limping but being helped by her buddy. "Looks like I've got a lot more to learn."
