Touta Konoe      Touta returns for the second day in a row to the Shrine of Adversity. He can definitely see why Yang's always coming here. The place is just so convenient for everyone to meet up at for a match, or just a good place to watch really competent fighters show their stuff. Even now he was sure that there were probably exceptional people duking it out inside already.

     That said the young man hasn't shown up for anyone that's already inside. He's waiting for the arrival of a certain individual. Someone who he promised to go a round with when they had the time, and it looks like they both had finally found some.

     So Touta waits at the entrance in his usual black attire, his katana resting on his shoulder as he looks around with his usual smirk on his face, eager to meet up with this combatant to be.
Solty Revant      "Hellooooo Mr. Tooouuuutaaaaaa!" comes a call from fairly far off as Solty comes running toward him, one hand raised to wave happily. As usual she is in that unusual outfit with her hair in those just as unusual twin tails, and her long furry ears are bouncing lightly as she runs.

     She gives him a big hug when she reaches Touta, a sunny smile on her face. "It's good to see you! How are you? How are things back in your home? Have you had to deal with any more monsters? What was that big bat thing from that time, anyway! It really hurt my ears!"

     Also as usual, the cheerful android girl is as apt to talk his ear off if they don't get started.
Touta Konoe      Touta gets a big surprise from a big hug! Listening to all of Solty's comments he pats her on the head a bit.

     "Easy, easy! It's good to see ya too. Everything's fine, and uh...most of the monsters have been dealt with for the time being."

     He failed to mention that now there were wyverns in the cave thanks to a certain new arrival at his workplace but that would probably overcomplicate things even more. So when she finally decides to let him go he'll walk her back to one of the fighting areas just as Yang had showed him. Truthfully this would be the first time he set it up himself so he was still looking around to make sure everything was set up properly, but once he felt assured enough he'd look back towards Solty.

     "Alright, guess we should figure out who's got the first swing. Heads or tails, Solty?"

     Without another word Touta pulls out a coin and flings it into the air.
Solty Revant      "That's good!" Solty says to Touta after he replies to at least one of her questions. Solty lets Touta go pretty quickly. Just a big hug, not a long hug. She might have actually squeezed a bit too hard, but she doesn't realize it. She waits patiently with her hands behind her back as Touta works on the setup, but her curiousity keeps her peeking over his shoulder or around his sides as he works the controls and soft little intrigued sounds escape her every now and then. She smiles when he turns back to her and her ears perk at the question. "Oh! Um...tails!" she says after a moment of thought.
Touta Konoe      The coin lands in Touta's palm revealing heads. "Huh, so much for tails never fails. Alright Solty, looks like I'll be going first. So...READY, SET, GO!"

     And like that Touta launches himself towards Solty with no warning at all. This could actually be the meanest thing Solty's seen him do! He raises his blade above his head looking like he's ready to attack her with an overhead slash, but just as it looks like the blade's going to connect it stops! Instead he just keeps charging forward with a flying sidekick hoping to quick blow while her guard was raised!
Solty Revant      Solty watches the coin go up, then come down, and once it turns up heads she lowers into what she must think is a fighting stance. It at least has a solid base with her feet a decent distance apart, and her hands clench into fists as she curls her arms against her sides.

     Touta says 'GO!' and moves first, but when he reaches Solty...he hits what can only be described as an after image. In an instant she is behind him with a fist already flying toward him, and if he notices it before the punch is finished he might notice that her fist is glowing an orange yellow and blurring like it is vibrating rapidly. "That wasn't nice!"

     If the punch impacts, it would probably feel like getting hit by a truck going at full speed, and even after the punch lands a second impact would trigger a millisecond later as her vibrating fist funnels pure energy into the attack.
Touta Konoe      Touta thought he was the one that had caught Solty off-guard with that first strike, but the moment that foot tries to make contact it goes right through her!

     "What the -?!"

    Was she a android or a ghost?! He thought he knew the difference!

     Though that's when he sees something in the corner of his eye from behind him. A bright orange light emits and as Touta peers behind him he realizes its Solty's fist ready to slam into him.

     She throws her punch but it's Touta this time who moves out of the way, adjusting his head so it doesn't go flying off when it hits him. Though he can feel that energy as he goes past his cheek, and the second impact that would have come with it. It's hard to tell if Touta's panicked now or happy cause he's smiling but still has a bead of sweat going down his cheek.

     "Sorry Solty, I was told that anything goes in a fight. Just think of it as I'm not taking it easy on ya!"

     Without another words Touta jumps into a spinning back kick trying to knock Solty back a bit and put some distance between the two so he could get his bearings back.
Solty Revant      Solty looks pretty surprised herself when Touta manages to avoid her Overclock punch. She brings up her arms to block the kick and gets sent rolling a short distance before coming up in a three-point stance. "Hmm...I dunno. I think there are some things that shouldn't go, but I guess going when you say go isn't actually bad." she says.

     Solty charges forward once more, her feet actually tearing into the ground and kicking up huge clouds of dirt after each rapid step. Although it doesn't have the orange-yellow glow this time, with how fast she is moving the punch she is winding up as she closes in is still likely to pack a punch
Touta Konoe      This is the first time that Touta really gets to see face to face what it's like to take one of Solty's blows. There isn't the crazy glowing effect from last time but there's definitely some speed packed into that punch for sure! Touta brings up his own guard against the ground-crushing strike and it pushes Touta back as his feet do everything they can to station themselves to the ground.

     Solty can see it but there's probably some bruises up his arms after that last attack, but even if she can't see it.

     "Ow, ow, ow, ow! That's a nasty punch you got there!" It really did feel like he had gotten smacked by train. So he'll have to return the favor.

     This time Touta's the one that has the ground below him crumble under his feet. He dashes at her, his body becoming a blur using his Shundo. The technique he uses doesn't cause any dust to kick up like she had but his speed makes it difficult for her to focus on him, as if trying to take a picture of something that was going to fast for the focus to capture.

     "Alright, get ready for this one, Solty! Two-Thousand Fold!"

     Touta appears from the blur straight into a slash at her midsection. Should the attack connect, this would feel less like a blade trying to cut into her but more like some truck crashing into her with a blade at the front of it. This blade was heavy!
Solty Revant      "Thanks!" Solty says with a smile as Toutal compliments her punch. Despite Touta's quick movements Solty's eyes track his movements fairly well, and when he comes in to deliver that powerful slash she hops backward quickly. Still, the tip connects. Solty yelps and there is a shower of metal on metal sparks as well as an arch of electricity as the heavy blade cuts in despite her strong Resemble armor and her attempt at dodging. "I don't know why it's called two-thousand fold, but it's pretty strong!" she says as she lands, then kicks off again.

     Instead of rushing in headlong this time, Solty instead tries to hop back and forth as she comes in. Perhaps she is trying to throw Touta's aim off? She still tries to deliver a punch, this time aimed at his belly. She doesn't have a lot of tools at her disposal it seems. Just strength, speed, and determination!
Touta Konoe      The blade ends up grazing Solty, demonstrating her mobility is definitely not to be messed with. As the slash ends up slamming into the ground though she'll realize why it's called two-thousand fold. The blade connects with the earth and a crater is formed much larger than either of them had done just by pushing off the ground to charge at the other. Though apparently all that extra weight was no good to try and hit Solty when she was so nimble.

     Then Solty does something quite unusual. She hops. Was this to make it harder for him to gauge their distance? Sort of like how some fighters hop on the balls of their feet? He wasn't sure, apparently Touta wasn't the only one to use spontaneous movements in fights. Rather than try to dodge though he just braces himself for another blow, putting up his guard to avoid his stomach getting completely blasted into from one of those crazy fists again. Then there's a redundant remark. "Wow Solty! I know that you're an android but you're really nimble hopping around like a rabbit! How much do you even weigh anyway?"

     Did he just ask how much she weighed? No time to figure that out cause he returns an fist right to her stomach as well trying to match her blow!
Solty Revant      Solty spins away as Touta aims a punch at her, causing it to graze along instead of delivering the full force. Hitting her really emphasizes that she is an android, because despite how genuine her skin might look and feel, when something hits it the Resemble feels much more like a plate of steel. Of course, Touta might be used to that sort of thing given the creatures he fights.

     Touta's question actually causes Solty to pause after her evasive maneuver. She stops and puts a finger to her lips, thinking about it. And also making it obvious that either she doesn't have much battle experience or she thinks she is safe in a friendly fight if she isn't attacking. "I think it was 160 when I was given my physical exam after I was adpoted?" She doesn't seem to realize the significance of such a weight when she is a complex, compact design that has been made to emulate human biology.

     After that, she goes back to a battle stance and charges forward once more. She looks at the damage left in the ground by the sword, and her fist gains some of that glowing orange-ish energy again. "You're really hard to hit, Mr. Touta! I'm sorry I'm not much of a challenge! I'll try harder!" she says as she practically flies forward like a rocket thanks to her powerful running, aiming a punch right at Touta's chest this time.
Touta Konoe      160? Is that kilogram? Pounds? Some sort of other non-standard measurement? It's kinda hard to tell with all the different worlds in the Multiverse but if she's going by pounds that's actually pretty light. If it's kilos than a bit heavier. Maybe he'll try picking her up after the fight to see which it was. But that'd have to be for later though.

     At that point that bright light illuminates Solty's fist once more, as she charges him like a rocket. The attack connects without issue this time and but for one reason or another this rocket like strike doesn't blast him away. It's definitely a critical blow as he can definitely feel some bones in his ribcage probably just snapped.He even coughs up a little blood as well.

     But there's a smile on his face as looks at her through bloodied lips.

     "Not much of a challenge? Who...*cough*...was saying anything like that? Seriously that's a nasty blow you got there. If anything I'm the one who's got to play catch up!"

     Touta prepares himself, his feet pressing into Solty's stance in an attempt to distort her balance as he winded back his own fist. And then, he steps forward into another punching strike, infusing his fist with ki in hopes to really get it packing a punch!
Solty Revant      The punch comes in, but once again Solty's form seems to blur. This time however she doesn't strike from behind. Touta might notice that Solty...is suddenly above him! This time it is a diving punch. And this time it is with both fists glowing with that orange-yellow. Like a comet she comes diving in, leaving a trail of light behind her in the process. "Keeeeyaaaah!!"

     Whether she hits Touta or not, the force of the blow is sure to crater the ground below them and send up a shower of debris as the energy stored in her fists is unleashed in a shockwave that pulverizes the ground even more...and possibly Touta with it!
Touta Konoe      This is what happens when Solty tries harder. Devastation. The diving punch does create a crater, but only after bludgeoning a hole right right through his body. The ground below them is shattered and Touta looks like he's unconscious on his feet. More blood coughs out from his mouth. A red puddle forms in the crater of Solty's creation. The orange light she had accumulated in those fists turns red. That blow finished it.

     "Hell of a punch...Guess I gotta try to harder too..."

     In that moment just as Solty's hands had accumulated with orange light. Touta's begin to change as black miasma envelops them. Those rough yet kind hands are swallowed in this pitch-black and before Solty's eyes form into gauntlets, as if they were the claws of something demonic, they curl up into a fist with a smile on Touta's face as he puts all he's got left into this last punch. "Heads up, Solty." And with that he releases that demon punch.
Solty Revant      Solty's attack lands. She leaps away to brace for a counter attack...and then suddenly her fists lower as a look of worry takes over her features. "T-...T-touta..?" she says quietly. She can see the hole, the blood spilling out, the blood coughed up from his mouth. And she looks pretty horrified that she might have actually hurt her friend. "B-but...this place is supposed to keep people from getting hurt!"

     She just stands there looking worried. But then, Touta speaks up, and the scared frown quickly goes to a relieved, happy smile. But, some glistening might still be visible at the corners of her eyes. "Touta! You're okay!" she exclaims delightedly before blinking as she watches that miasma. She gets a glimpse of that smile before Touta throws that demonic punch. "Eek!" Solty manages to hop back just in time to avoid the brunt of the attack, but the follow-through still catches her. She brings up her arms to protect herself only to let out a yelp as they buckle from the attack and she still gets hammered pretty powerfully.

     If how far she flies is any indication, 160 pounds if probably accurate for her weight. She manages to land on her feet, but stumbles back from the momentum and rolls a couple of times before finally stopping. She ends up on her back, trembling just like most people when they take a powerful hit. Pain is obvious in her expression, and she is slow to get up. "Nnng...y-you're..." She gets back to her feet, then smirks determinedly. "You're amazing Mr. Touta! You looked like you were really hurt, but you could still hit like that!" Of course, Solty isn't looking so good herself. Several spots on her perfect skin are now reflective metal where the surface layer was torn away, most notibly across her belly and sides where electricity arcs every now and then. "I'm glad I could give you a challenge! I was sure I would hardly be a match for you after you fought Miss Yang."

     She finally runs back in toward Touta, once again kicking up pieces of the landscape in her wake as she quickly picks up speed. "But I can't give up yet! Roy says you can't stop until your enemy either gives up or is definitely down!"
Touta Konoe      Touta's strike unleashing with as much force as he can stockpile, but Solty's still able to roll with the punches. No matter what Touta had thrown at her she had been able to keep up.

     Touta's body appears really banged up, it looks like slowly but surely he's recovering. The whole in his torso, the blood in his mouth. The bruises across his body are all slowly but surely recuperating. Her last strike slams into Touta's body and...

     "Roy sounds like a good guy...I think I'll try taking his advice too!"

     Touta finds the strength to roll with the last blow as his wounds slowly recover. But the second attack keeps him on the border between standing and plummeting to the floor. The miasma in his fists are gone as well. It shows that he really is hanging on by fumes. Literally. His body looks like its steaming as wounds are trying to close up. If he tried to back away and recover some more perhaps he'd be able to do as such. But Solty's still right in front him, giving her best. It would be an insult not to do the same.

     Touta releases the blade from his grip, he conjures what little strength he has left as she attempts for one final strike blow against Solty. He puts all his weight into the strike, feeling muscles tear and blood ooze as his body resists the change in momentum his body goes through as he attempts one final strike of bone against metal!
Solty Revant      "Roy's the best! He adopted me! Did I tell you that before? Well, even if I did, Roy took me in when I had lost my memory and protected me from the R.U.C. when they accused me of something I did do. I'd do anything for R-"

     Solty seemed like she was getting lost in her rambling, but when Touta suddenly leaps toward her despite her attack she blinks...and in that moment her form blurrs yet again. This time she appears instantaneously just to his left, ready to deliver another blow. That is, until she notices just how tired Touta looks. She pulls her incoming roundhouse kick just in time, and moves to catch Touta since he looks like he might collapse!
Touta Konoe      Touta whiffs. It's rough to say the least when an attack you put the effort into conjuring doesn't connect. But that's the reality of fighting sometimes. When it misses he's ready to take a round-house to the jaw, but it never happens. In fact rather than kick him she catches him of all things!

     He lets out a tired sigh, but gives a smile to Solty at the end. "Looks like you got this one Solty. Good job."

     Touta slowly brings himself back to his feet as the fight concludes. His wounds begin to restore much quicker. The puddle of red in the crater, the blood stained hands of Solty, all of it just slowly starts swirling back in the gaping hole in Touta's chest before it's completely sealed. Even the shirt that Solty had torn through appeared to have returned to normal. Nice and press, not even a stain on it.

     He slowly starts moving his body around again making sure everything's the way its suppose to.

     "That was a good spar Solty. You were all over the place! Heck, don't tell her this but I think you might have been faster than Yang. As for that Roy guy though..." Touta gives a bit of a smile as she tells him of what the man had done for her. Taken her in when she had no recollection of who she was and no place to go. It sounded familiar to another great person that he was really fond of.

     Touta pats her lightly on the head for no apparent reason. "...Sounds pretty good to. Anyway, let's go get something to eat or something. It'll be my treat since ya won." Now that he thinks of it though, can Solty even eat anything? Guess they'll find out!
Solty Revant      Solty seems relieved once more as the arena resets and their injuries evaporate. Touta tells her she might have been faster than Yang and she looks incredibly flattered. "Really?" she asks in that uncertain but hopeful way people do. The pat on her head makes her blink before she smiles warmly. "Okay Touta. What should we eat?" Apparently she finally feels like she doesn't have to call him Mister Touta anymore.

     Wherever they go, Touta will find that Solty can indeed eat, and has as healthy an appetite as any human girl of her age.
