Sanary Rondel Another day, another fight. Sanary had a bit of a rough fight the last time she was in the arena, but she's looking and feeling good today! She's dropped all sense of surprise this time around, opting to just fling small axes out of a sack around the arena floor to lighten her own load.

Also, to not flub things up like she did the last time.

"Let's make it good, August! We show 'em what we can do, and may be we'll get some new fans outta this!" Grinning widely, the axe healer draws her axe and gives it a fanciful flourish overhead like it isn't actually a chunky weapon, then gets right to it once the Persona user is ready. She takes aim with her giant axe, rears it back behind her, then...

Chucks the entire thing right at him. It's heavy and dangerous, but will it even hit at that range?!
August Kohler August is excited for this fight, because it's with someone he's growing to actually like despite their past interactions. As Sanary speaks up, August waving to the crowd as he comes in, he nods to her. "Yeah. No matter who wins, this is gonna be a great fight."

"But I'm gonna win it, so just be prepared!" He grins, and then, with a flourish of a mirrored bracelet, the redhead summons his Persona. "DIETRICH!"

The power-armored black knight gets into position, sword at the ready, as Sanary just...throws her axe at him. Leaping onto Dietrich's back, August maneuvers it to move, but just at the last second, causing the axe to wing Dietrich's shoulder. August grunts in pain, as a block of armor is torn off, but it quickly begins to repair itself naturally. That big sword, meanwhile, is suddenly engulfed in darkness, as August charges at Sanary.

"Oh, yeah, also, I don't hold back!"

The sword moves to swipe into Sanary like a train about to hit someone, The darkness empowers the blow, leading to a powerful strike that'll burn into Sanary and against her flesh, and honestly, just really hurt.
Sanary Rondel Okay. That didn't really catch him off guard all that well. Lesson learned. "Heh... MAybe, maybe not, but I'm gonna make you work for it!" Sanary boasts as she scoops up two of the smaller axes off the floor, braces them in front of her as Dietrich swings his mighty blade, and launches the healer right through an inconvenient pillar.

That also could have gone much better. Picking herself up from the rubble, Sanary's already bleeding from the head despite the continued grinning and nonchalant brushing of her shoulders. "Hah! That all you got?!" She raises a hand and waves it towards herself, beckoning a confused spectator slightly to the right of where August and Dietrich are.

Back to work. A green glow surrounds Sanary as she works her healing magic, blood flow slowing and visible bruises patching over even as she breaks into another run. It looks like she's not actually running right at August, though, but still off to the right a smidge.

She throws her axes again, but this time with startling accuracy. Indeed, it appears her show of inaccurate vision was an act all along! After the throws, she follows it up with blasts from her eyes towards Dietrich directly. The lasers don't explode on contact, but instead blow once they get anywhere near the Persona!
August Kohler August just laughs, as Sanary's head-bleeding worries him a bit, but he knows the Shrine will keep her safe, and she's a healer. As she starts healing her self and starts running, August prepares, charging up his energy with breathing. She's not coming at him...

The axes graze Dietrich, who is prepared for them, but the laser blast tears off armor, forcing the Persona back as August grimaces and groans, taking damage. His reaction is to swing the sword again, transforming into a darkness-wreathed chainsaw whip, which moves to wrap around Sanary's arm and tear into it. He's not trying to rip it off, luckily, but...

It'll feellike that, and it's grinding hard enough that in a non-Shrine environment, it'd probably do some serious damage to it.
Sanary Rondel Throwing things doesn't quite seem to be working as well as Sanary would like. Not only is she not quite making those direct hits she's fishing for, but her biggest axe still needs to be recovered before things get even worse!

Also, things get worse. With Dietrich's chainsaw whip flying right towards her, the healer preps her healing magic ahead of time just to try and mitigate the worst of the grinding pain. "Shitshitshit... When the hell could you do that?!" Despite the blood spraying out of her wound, Sanary somehow manages to laugh. Instead of fighting the whip, however, she starts running right at August, scooping up her axe on the way over.

Better than letting the whip cut her arm off, anyway. Although she's only wielding the axe with one hand, she still musters up enough strength to start hacking at the weapon before aiming a heavier chop at Dietrich's arm to try and attack the weapon at the source!
August Kohler "I've grown, Sanary, remember?" August laughs, as Sanary comes at him with the big axe. He's confident...

But she still manages to get the chainsaw whip off her, and then slam into Dietrich's arm hard enough to force it to nearly drop the thing. Dietrich responds by moving to punch Sanary in the face with his free hand, as the armor is torn apart from the axe blow on the other. It's a hard punch, hopefully enough to send Sanary reeling backwards, but she's sturdy. Who knows?
Sanary Rondel "You really have, haven't you? Heh. I still remember when you were still tryin' to get your feet steady..." Chuckling lightly as she reminisces, Sanary gets her head back into the fight right when Dietrich throws a punch right at her head. Although she has that green glow circling around her head like before, it fades briefly as Sanary sees an opening, and she gets away with just a really bad scraping of PERSONA FIST bruising up her face instead of socking her straight on!

She's still a little wobbly after it, but it's a marked improvement from being thrown around and nearly having her arm torn off. "But even after that... Don't let that get to your head!" Finding her footing, Sanary grabs onto Dietrich's with her chopped-up arm, grimacing as the blood continues flowing. Although she hasn't had enough time to heal it back to full strength, she still manages to get enough force together to try and hold the Persona in place while her axe-wielding hand starts hacking away at Dietrich's legs once again.

She might finally be learning a thing or two about fighting strategically. Maybe.
August Kohler Sanary moves to start hacking away at Dietrich's legs, but it doesn't knock Dietrich down, even as she rips into his armor. August, though, is looking bad, since the sheer feedback has made him start bleeding out of the mouth at a constant rate. "Alright, let's get ready to end this."

August needs to charge up some more. Dietrich tightens the whip in hand, and lashes it at Sanary once, an attempt to get some range to heal up and charge up for a big attack. Whatever he does next might be nasty.
Sanary Rondel The whip snapping has the healer flinching a bit as she raises her still-jacked up arm to block the hit instead of her good arm, the wound looking worse and worse with each moment. THe healing can only do so much for these injuries without actual resting time, and the sustained damage is taking its toll on her! "Heh heh... I've seen this sort of thing before, but... Fine. Just don't think I'm gonna sit back and let you get ready!"

Indeed, the axe-wielder is distinctly lacking in really big attacks to her name. She has her axes, her eye lasers and... That's about it. It's probably not much surprise, then, that she's going for the former as she presses the offense, lashing her axe out at Dietrich repeatedly with her axe, going for arms and legs and even directing a few swings at the head to try and keep August on his toes!
August Kohler Sanary comes at August, swinging tha axe at August over and over. Armor rips off, exposing more of the armored knight (but never enough to see who's inside), causing August to bleed more profusely and grunt in pain, but he narrowly weaves out of the way of the head strikes. And then, that whip is swung again.

It moves to lash around Sanary's waist, as does Dietrich's arm, as thrusters fire up on the Persona's back. With superhuman strength, he jumps, lifting Sanary into the air...and then moving to flip and slam her straight into the ground, with a heavy enough strike that it'll take her out of the fight. It's either this, or August loses. It's all he has left. "Show me if you can take this, Sanary!"
Sanary Rondel Sanary's finding her groove. Why the hell did she even resort to chucking things in the first place?

Oh. Right. Strategy. Still, she's feeling more in her element just charging ahead, and it's that same bravado that gets her caught by Dietrich's whip once more. Getting pulled into the sky has her disoriented for a spell, but she finds her center as they start to descend. Rather than being slammed into the pavement headfirst, Sanary does what she does best: Stupid bullshit that may or may not be making things worse in the long rung.

"Let's... Let's kick things up a notch, then! We need to go harder!" Firing energy into her anklets, August will notice something curious happening: Instead of slamming into the ground, another force starts to propel the pair/trio. By diverting a massive amount of magic into her anklets, Sanary's trying to spin them all like a rocket thruster gone haywire. Someone's going to hit the ground and halt their spinning eventually, so she's trying to make sure it's not just herself!
August Kohler Instead of crashing, Sanary boosts the two like a haywire thruster, and Dietrich holds on tightly to Sanary to not get dropped to the ground. But eventually, he hits the ground first, skidding against it and damaging his armor, as well as skidding August on his back and bruising him. But August isn't done.

For one last try, he moves to just yank Sanary into the ground hard from where she's still above it. The crowd is riled up in anticipation. Who's going to break first?!
Sanary Rondel Things are reaching a fever pitch! So much spinning, so much scraping and bruising and bleeding everywhere. Even Sanary's can't keep up as August keeps wearing her down, and there's only so much left in the healer's reserves at this point. Her head hits the ground hard when August/Dietrich yanks her down at the ground, and it looks like she's just about down for the count as the spinning starts to slow!

It doesn't stop, though, and the axe-wielder cracks mildly crazed grin. It's not even clear if she's still conscious at this point, but her arms are still working well enough. Reaching around August, she tries to grab his head as she rears her own head back, then goes for a mighty headbutt right as the floor...

Where the hell is the floor now, anyway? She can't really see it, anyway. Too fast, and her eye doesn't even look like it's on now.
August Kohler Finally, the fight ends, as Sanary moves to grab August's head, and headbutts him hard. August staggers back as he's hit, instead of Dietrich, and almost falls flat to the ground. Instead, he makes the tap out signal, makes sure Dietrich can support Sanary, and then speaks to her since she's apparently blind. "You win. I can't go any more. Good fight!"

And then a pause. "Uh...need help fixing your eye? And then after we get the blood back in your body, want to go get something to eat?" Becoming a regenerator has made him way more laissez-faire about this.
Sanary Rondel Finally, the spinning stops, and Sanary can tumble into a heap. She's a little... Very punch-drunk as she picks herself up after that headbutt, raring to go even of ffumes until she hears August speaking.

She takes a deep breath, then drops on her ass with a pained laugh. Physically pained, at least, since she sounds rather upbeat even as the foreshadowing of puke lingers in her voice.

"Sounds good, Aug! Ah, do' worry 'bout it. Is... Happen when I use too much magi' juice. Food should... Yes." She spits out what looks like several teeth, then staggers onto her feet while holding a hand out.

It's not clear if she wants to help August up or if she wants him to lead the way.
