Dueling Grounds

*grins*
"Well you DO have the spark of my friend in you.... and she has the spark on an acquaintance in here.... and there all girls.... so i'm helping 3 people just by helping you"

*heroic pose*
"And besides..... You still haven't told me why you have those bruises..."

*smirks faintly*
You haven't earned enough of my trust to warrent my telling you, but thanks for the care. I have no idea who these girls were, but they must have been damn special to everyone...
*yawns*
Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got to go find somewhere to sleep...
*begins to walk away*

*waves*
"Okay then"
*jumps off*

*jumps to the middle of the dueling grounds and crouches low to the ground*

*rides Charlie the Rainbow Wonder Moose into the dueling grounds*

*walks up, spinning Kinzuko*
Dont even know why I signed up for this class, but I'm probably not gonna be here during class...Better tell Kuro...

*waves to Chimi*
"Helloooooo!"

*looks up and smiles faintly*
Hey Kuro. Is there any way to make up a class? I signed up, but I'm not sure I can make it tonight.
*nibbling on Chimi's ear*

*smiles and nods*
"oh, okay then"
*thinks for a moment*
"Would you like to have a spar with me? I'm sure that that will do more then make up for the points for class"

*hesitant for just a moment*
I promised Abel, but...I can trust Kuro...
*nods*
Sure. I promised Abel I'd be careful, though. Thats the only reason I'm slightly...hesitant...
*shakes her head and smiles a bit*
But considering you're a teacher and a friend, even though I dont expect to be taken lightly, I dont suppose I have much to worry about...

*thumbs up*
"remember that I'll heal you afterwards too!"
*goes over to Charlie the Rainbow Wonder Moose and pulls a bulging sack off of his back*
*Kuro puts it on the ground and it tips over, revealing a large amount of small totems*

*laughs*
You're obsessed with those things, aren't you?

*grins and looks up at chimi*
"Oh heck yeah! I barely have to do anything but i can put down almost as many as i want and fully heal everyone in the area in a short while!"

*shakes her head*
Completely opposite from me. I still dislike medical help just for the doctors.
*wrinkles her nose in disgust*
They smell too clean, smile too much, and touch me too much.
*shudder*

*laughs*
"Well these totems smell like a forest, can look scary at times, and don't need to touch you to heal you"

*closes her eyes*
Fine fine...if you insist...
*spins Kinzuko as Zephyr stop nibbling her ear and flies to a tree to preen himself*
*opens her eyes and glances up at him*
Well, shall we spar?

((KOP system?))

*smiles an bows a little with one arm out*
"Ladies first!"

(Yes)

*smiles*
If you insist~
*quietly places one hand on the ground, sending out an invisible wave that Kuro can neither see, hear, or feel*

Name: Element—Earth
Technique: Sinkhole
Stamina Required: -5 Intelligence, -9 Strength
HP Deduction: -7 under the circumstances
Description: Much in the same was a magnitude, but on a lesser scale, Chimitsu can place one hand on the ground and send what feel like small tremors above ground, while releasing powerful waves of energy underground. These tremors can create sinkholes under enemies or random places on the field, opening them immediately, or creating a weakened spot that will collapse when weight is touched upon it {though, in this form, is unnoticeable until it is too late}. If used after Pressure Point, the ground is further weakened.
Advantages:
May trap opponents
Further damages the battlefield and makes it a more dangerous “playground” as Chimitsu would put it.
Disadvantages:
It takes a bit of concentration to control the energy pulses in the right places
The maximum number of sinkholes that may be created per battle is 7
Only harms the opponent if they directly fall into a sinkhole

*creates three sinkholes strategically across the field, but keeps them hidden*
*the field looks unchanged*
*slowly stands and bows*
Your turn~

*crouches low on the ground*


Name: Wolf Form
Technique: Wolf Form
Stamina Required: -12 intelligence, -12 strength
HP Deduction: -7 for attacks in this form; add -3 for each separate attack
Description: Transforms into a wolf-like state, allows claw and bite based attacks, faster then a normal human, but is now lighter and easily hurt
Advantages: Slightly faster and allows the use of claws and teeth, more nimble on feet
Disadvantages: claws don't allow weapons to be held, clothes falling off, lighter and easily hurt


*leaps over to Chimi biting her arm and kicking off from her with his back paws*
(-7,-3)

(chimi: 58 kuro: same)

*as Kuro leaps back from her, ignoring the pain in her arm and just as he lands on the ground over one of the sinkholes, slams both her palms to the ground*

Name: Element—Earth
Technique: Magnitude
Stamina Required:
7: -9 Strenght, -7 Intelligence
HP Deduction:
7: -7
Description: By slamming her palms down onto the earth and pulsing some of her energy through the ground, as well as the energy that connects her to her earth element, Chimitsu is able to generate earthquakes of various magnitudes. The magnitudes range from one-nine, nine being the strongest and one being the weakest, and affect a circular area of about 50 feet in diameter
Advantages:
All opponents within the specified area are affected, usually thrown to the ground.
Disadvantages:
The magnitude level is chosen at random
Allies within the defined area are also affected
Only works in an outside area {inside may damage structures internally and cause them to fall on she and all inhabitants}, and has no affect on flying creatures
The technique sometimes reacts to her anger and begins without her triggering it

*watches in satisfaction as the ground collapses under him, plunging him down*

*with his incresed speed and now light body, kuro jumps from the collapsing dirt and leaps to chimi while the earthquak is happening down below, tackles her down, and slashes her with his paw 2 time (making 3 attacks for the tackle and slashes)*

(-7,-3,-3)

(Chimi: 45 Kuro: 97)

*quickly crosses her arms over her face, calling the earth to cover her and blocking the last attack*

Name: Element—Earth
Technique: Armor
Stamina Required: -5 Intelligence, -9 Strength
HP Deduction: -5 if attacking an opponent
Description: Placing her hand on the ground, or even simply calling it through her feet, Chimitsu can summon the earth to cover her entire body. It starts out rough yet quickly smoothes and hardens out to resemble a true suit of close-fitting armor. It is a thin shield, so it is lightweight and only gives her slight protection.
Advantages:
Raises her defense slightly without lowering her speed
Can block any attack that deducts 7HP or less
Raises her strength slightly for the duration of the shield {hurts a lot more to get hit with rock…}
Disadvantages:
Any attack that deducts over 7HP can shatter the shield
Only lasts for about 3 posts

*kicks Kuro off of her and towards the last two sinkholes, jamming Kinzuko into a nearby crack*

Name: Kinzuko
Technique: Pressure Point—Earth
Stamina Required: -11 Strength, -3 Intelligence
HP Deduction: -9
Description: By finding even the tiniest crack in the surface of the ground and jamming Kinzuko into it, Chimitsu can literally tear the earth’s surface apart. As Chimitsu’s elemental power pulses through Kinzuko and the ground, a large crevice is torn through the battlefield, leaving a lasting scar. As the scar is torn through the ground, the earth is pushed up and to the side on the edges of the scar, throwing anyone to the side that stands on the edge of the crevice as its formed.
Advantages:
The crevice tears through the entire battle field, sometimes branching off, and “swallows” anything in its path
It’s a powerful technique
Disadvantages:
As always, allies may be affected and any flying creature is unaffected
Cannot be performed without Kinzuko
Can only be performed 3 times per battle before the earth will collapse underneath the whole field

*lands on the ground on his feet and quickly jumps high up into the air to aviod the sinkholes and dodging to second attack completely, then tranforms back to his normal form*

*snaps his fingers*

Flame Spirit
Technique: Dance of the Butterflies
Stamina required: -11 intelligence per 20
HP deduction: -9
Description: Makes sparks from his hand that form into 20 butterflies, he controls them and they burst into flames on will, but they do not harm anyone he doesn't want them to harm, very easy to use as they are only sparks
Advantage: Easy to use, long range attack, stay until called off
Disadvantage: useable every 3 posts, only small explosions but they all explode in one attack

*they immediately attach to Chimi and explode*
"AWOOOOO!"

Natures ally
Techinque: Control/Summon Creature
Stamina required: -15 intelligence, -4 strength
HP Deducted: -4 for each attack made by an animal
Description: With his strong love for nature he is in touch with all the creatures of the wild good or bad, and is able to call help from them when needed
Advantage: Help in battle
Disadvantage: can only ve used once every 10 posts, can't call the same animal twice in 50 posts

*a large green dragon appears and sprays the area with acid*
*kuro lands on the back of the flying creature*

*quickly calls up her shield before the butterflies or acid can hurt her, sacrificing her original shield*

Name: Element—Earth
Technique: Shelter
Stamina Required: -20 Strength, -5 Intelligence
HP Deduction: -0
Description: Useable as both a shield and a place to stay sheltered when she has no other place, Chimitsu can call for slabs of stone from the earth protectively around her, either in a cone-like shape for total protection, or from simply three sides for a shelter. The rock is very strong and able to block many attacks, and lasts for about 6 posts
Advantages:
It gives her a place to stay when she has nowhere else.
As a total shield, it blocks from all sides and can stop any attack that deducts 15HP or less, and virtually all lightning attacks are blocked, due to the nullifying effects of the earth element
Disadvantages:
As a shield, anything that deducts over 15HP can shatter it and bring it down on her head
When within the shield, though she can use her attacks, her mobility is limited, leaving her vulnerable for one post while the shield is lowered
Can be used only about 4 times per battle

*frowns*
Dammit...
*sighs and leans against one of the walls*
Now...

(Chimi the shield is destroyed before the acid hits her since the butterflies do 9 damage, so she took 4 from that... btw Kuro has a new element that I forgot to mention minor earth/spirit, it was approved by Riza)


*the dragon carefully flies Kuro to the shelter*
"Never done this before... but I'll give it a whirl"
*concentrates and tries to move the shelter but with no luck, he was successful in only making a small crack*
*sighs*
"That'll have to do...."
*the dragon puts his mouth to the crack and acid slowly pours into the shelter*
