Clash on the Sea of White (PVP Zegram/Aurora Closed R, NDE)

[Aurora Guerrero]

Zegram started laughing. She poked up one eyebrow, wondering why he was laughing so hard. It went from a low chuckle to a full blown laughing fit. His smile was just as wide as it was before, but she could tell that there was something different about it now. She saw in that smile more venom than it did before. When she really looked at him, she could now definitely tell that he was part snake. But the smile wasn't really the only thing that she could tell was different with him.

It was an interesting thing to see. It seemed to her that he was finally starting to take this fight seriously. Gone from him was the humor in his face and there was a more sadistic side that was starting to show about him. She started to grin as well as he did, showing off her fangs and her own sick side. This new side would definitely be very interesting to fight against. But, she also knew that that meant the fight was probably going to get harder. She was ready.

He then said that if they were done playing games, to hit him with her best shot. But, before she could even say anything to him before he was ready to dart in and attack her. Her arms were at her side before and when she saw him change, she moved her sword to her now normal guard stance, with the tip of her sword up to her left shoulder and her hilt towards her right hip. So, when his first strike came in towards her, her guard was able to deflect his blow. While he pulled back she saw something glowing in his hand.

She immediately crouched down, keeping her guard in the same position and slashing out at his feet. Once she had done that slash, she got up and immediately jumped backwards away from him. He was definitely more direct now. She needed to be more on guard and careful. She already got one injury from him, she didn't want a severe one. "So Snake Dude, what happened? You seem to have completely changed. You were all talk and trying to get under my skin and now you seem like you're ready to cut me in half. Do you have multiple personalities or something?"

[Zegram]

He leaped over the sword slash letting her back off. Zegram laughed again at her ridiculous question. There was no other personality, this was just the side of him he always kept in check. Only when in the heat of battle does this side of Zegram slip out. When in battle he was more sadistic. He would not fight just to end the fight, he will drag it out, make his opponent suffer and writhe in agony under his sword. He smiled and cocked his head to the side resting the blunt part of his sword against this right shoulder. His golden snake like eyes bore into her own eyes. He was finally letting loose after so long of holding back.

"No I am very well in my right mind and personality. This is just the time where I can let everything out. There is no one here to stop us, no one here to interrupt us. Just me and my victim fighting until one of us is writhing under the boot of the other." He dashed to her right sweeping his sword low aiming at her right leg. He would then bring the sword up and back into her chest with a horizontal slash as he sped past her in a blur of motion. 

He was allowing himself to use more of his speed against her. He wanted to get behind her, but the side of her was good enough. If he could reduce her mobility that would make this fight all the easier. He didn't want to kill her, nor did he want the fight to be over so soon. So his plan was to aim for the places that would cause the most pain while allowing her to keep fighting. Her screams of pain would be music to his ears.

[Aurora Guerrero]

Aurora listened to him while he talked about letting go of everything. He kept it locked inside did he? Where was the fun in that? It was way more fun to be normal and go crazy all the time then hide behind some mask to fit into society. She actually prided herself on being crazy like she was. It was her way and there was going to be no one to stop her from acting like she was. NO ONE. Though, when he called her victim, she had an issue with it.

She was a predator. From what she's seen of him, he was as well. But, unlike the snake, tigers were on the top of the food chain. She was not going to be beaten by such a lower predator as him. She would not allow herself to lose. After his talk, he decided to strike. With the strike, she could tell that he was much faster than he led her to believe. It was a pity that her first attack didn't work, but it seemed that he was taking a move that she just used.

She was barely able to make out the sword movement to the right towards her leg. She quickly did a side step to avoid the slash. Since she was standing up and had put the sword to her side while he was talking, she was able to leave her arm where it was, just moving the blade up in a diagonal. She slashed from the bottom up diagonally towards his left shoulder, hopefully getting the slash to hit.

[Zegram]

A she dodged his attack he pulled his hand back as he gathered up energy for a cero. He wanted to wait for the right time to use it. She was quick and was able to dodge his balas before. He needed to catch her while she was committed to an attack. She side stepped his attack, but he tracked her with his eyes to keep her in view. He started to square his body up when she started to slash at his body again. He put his blade in between himself and her blade. 

This was the moment he was waiting for. When their blades made contact, Zegram unleashed his cero. A beam of green energy made its way to her body aiming for her lower abdomen. He didn't think that she would be able to dodge a blast at such sort range. If she did manage to avoid the cero, Zegram would persue her slashing from her right shoulder to her left hip, then mirroring the attack on the other side. He would end the attack a vertical attack right up her center from the going up her body.

Cero - 200 reitsu = 2250

[Aurora Guerrero]

Aurora was committed to her strike and she honestly wasn't surprised that he was able to block it. But, the next thing she saw was a little surprising, to say the least. He unleashed a cero. This cero was point blank, and since her speed was lower than his, she didn't think that she would be able to avoid it. But, she thought that maybe, just maybe, she would be able to power through the cero. She would get hurt, but hopefully not as bad.

So, once the saw the power form to right before he released, she pushed off of his sword and moved hers into block. She moved her sword point down, blade out. While she did this, she grabbed the hilt with her left hand while moving her right up to grab the top of the hilt. So, when the cero hit her, she had her sword in the way. As it hit, she felt herself move backwards several feet from the force of the blast. It was powerful, but thanks to her sword, she was able to sway some of the force.

But, she still go injured. Once the blast was over, she tried to stand, but her legs were sore from taking the blast. Since the cero was stronger than her actual strength, she did get several cuts on her arms and torso. She slowly stood after the first attempt and stood there. Her body was bloody but she still smiled her feral smile towards Zegram. "Your cero has not stopped me, oh great predator. YOU WILL NOT STOP ME! Tigers eat snakes for breakfast!" She went back on guard, waiting for this foolish snake to try to strike again.

[Zegram]

Tigers may have physical superiority over snakes, but it is a reason snakes are feared by far more people than tigers. Snakes were faster, and stealthier than the larger predictor. He will show her not to underestimate him. This snake's fangs would pierce deep not only into her flesh, but also into her pride. Zegram stopped well out of swords reach. He smiled and placed the blunt part of his sword back against his shoulder. 

"Aw isn't that cute, the little kitty still thinks she can take the cobra." He said in a mocking condescending tone. He extended his hand and fired another bala. This one was aimed at her upper chest. It was obvious the cero had taken its toll on her. He wondered just how much of the wind he took out of her sails with that blast. He cocky smile widened as he laughed loudly. 

He was trying to regain control of himself. The two parts of him were in constant turmoil, but he was able to keep his sadistic side in check when he is out of battle most of the time. Now when the intensity had been raised and the battle in Zegram's favor, his sadistic side had no intention on letting go of control now. Normally he wouldn't hurt a woman that much even in a fight, but this side of him was a whole different beast all together.

Bala - 50 = 2200

[Aurora Guerrero]

It seemed like Zegram wanted to talk to her more. He mocked her, saying she thinks she can take the cobra on. This stupid snake was in serious denial. Tigers were better, that was a fact. She was going to prove it to this stupid cobra if it took every last breath out of her. She put her left hand back, gathering energy for a last ditch effort. He quickly let loose another little ball of energy. Since her sword was already in a place to block the attack, she left it up.

The bala hit it, and she held on until the bala pettered itself out. Her arm was hurting her now. Even if the strength wasn't that much stronger than her, it was still stronger than her. Her right arm was getting tingly now, but she was bound and determined to get this guy with at least one hit. She looked at him, trying to think of what she could do to get in close enough for him to not avoid this attack. She sheathed her sword.

She walked up to him and hugged him. She looked him straight in the eye. If the hug worked on him, she would go in for a kiss, gripping him with all of her strength with her right arm. During the kiss, she would use all her speed to move her hand up and cero him right in the chest by touching his chest and letting the energy go. After she let the attack go, if it hit or didn't, she was step a few feet back and smile towards her now enemy. She was curious what would happen next.

OOC: Reiatsu 50/250 -200 for Cero

[Zegram]

Zegram was about to launch another bala at her when she did something unexpected. She sheathed her sword. That alone confused Zegram for a moment. Was she giving up? Even if she was, he would not let her escape her torment that easily. Her next action really caught him by surprised. He felt her arms wrap around his body and pulled herself close to him. In that instant his gentlemanly self ragained control and wrapped his arms around her as well. As a bonus she kissed him. He kissed her back thinking that he just scored big time. Until the cero went off. 

Zegram let go of her as he went flying back skidding across the white sand. He tumbled head over heals rolling until he hit a sand dune. His suit and shirt were burned  and he was covered in scrapes from the sand. He gritted his teeth as he slowly got to his feet. The hit did hurt even if it wasn't the strongest cero in Huaco Mundo, and due to his Heiro which managed to protect him just enough from the blast.

"Whoa, what a woman." He said standing again. He was still recovering from the hit, but he was not going to allow himself to be taken off guard again. It seemed that she was not above using tricks to get an edge in battle, but at least he liked the kind of tricks she used. "I think I am liking you more and more." he said back to his suave confident tone. "But I am sad to say that I have to depart. I do not wish for your allies to arrive during our fight. Adiu my lovely lady." he bowed and scooped up his fedora putting it back onto his head. He used his speed to dash over the dunes back to the minos forest.

[Aurora Guerrero]

Aurora felt him give in to her just as she planned. Yes it was a trick, but he used tricks first. It was a tactic to lull the enemy into a false sense of security before attacking. What was surprising to her is the warmth she felt from him when they hugged. When she kissed him, he actually kissed her back. It was an interesting sensation to feel his warmth against her, pressing into her just as much as she was pressing into him.

But, there was some sick satisfaction into blasting him when his guard was completely down. She smiled at herself while she watched him skid across the desert. It was interesting, but she wasn't going to act on what she felt. She honestly wasn't in the mood for it right now. But, if the urge ever hit her later on, she knew at least someone that would be interested in her for those kind of things. But for right now, she watched him stand up.

The comments he made made her smile. He was impressed, as he should be. She was not someone to be reckoned with. He said he liked her, which was interesting. She guessed that he was into pain. She would also remember that as well. He said he had to leave and she watched him run off. She was going to think about what happened until she smelled another weaker hollow close by. He went to the back of her thoughts. Now, all she was thinking about was filling her need for food and violence. She ran off to kill the hollow.
