Rain? Check! [DE/PVP]

[Pandora]

Pandora did have more strength then Lax but not much. It wasn't enough in this body to grant him any advantage at this point. When the bamboo smacked down into Lax's hand Pandora allowed his reaitsu to flow into the bamboo and he unlocked it's potential filling it with his reaitsu, which was supierior to Lax's and he even unlocked it at a class 6 which was superior to Lax's class 7. Now normally unlocking a weapon would only be for purposes of ignoring cutback effects. But it also granted him superiority so those who are lower classed. Pandora was a mod soul this was true so how would he know about the soul bending with fullbringers? Simple he lived with one! Florian Quinn, his owner! This would prevent Lax from trying anything funny to his rod. When Lax lifted him into the air Pandora let go of it and fell to the ground.

A grin swept across his face as he jumped backwards and studied the two of them. Yes Pandora wasn't going to be able to keep thing up for much longer now that he had surrendered his only chance at winning but he was going to hang in there for as long as he could. Amare punched at the air and then charged towards Lax. Maybe one of them would take each other out so that Pandora could at least say he made it to the final two. The leather hugged his paws as the rain beat down on them. There was chainmail wrapped in them which gave them defense and density.

Pandora rang himself out as much as he could. Of course it would only be a matter of time before he was right back to being soaked and bloated again. Pandora ran at Amare's back and jumped into the air. Pandora was atempting to land on his shoulders and wrap his paws over his eyes. This would allow Lax to do some serious damage to him if Pandora had caught him off guard. And since he was already attacking Lax at this point he would not really be able to see it coming since he had thought he was unable to continue with the fight. This was a big mistake on his part. "Don't turn your back on your opponent it's one of the most important rules in a fight!"

[Lax Paral]

The bamboo pole struck Lax in the hands and hurt a fair amount, though it wasn’t terribly much. However, as he went to manipulate the bamboo in his hands, he found suddenly that he was completely unable to do anything to it, much less feel its soul. There was something that was overpowering the soul of the bamboo, filling the pole and blocking out any hope that the human had of keeping the plushie stuck to the rod. Pandora just let go of the bamboo as Lax tried to fling him towards Amare, and though Amare thought fast and took a swing, the toy was no longer there and his fist struck nothing but air. As Lax got off of the ground and shook the mud off of himself, Amare began to charge at him. He’s already punched at me enough, I can easily intercept his boxing techniques now…

Expecting a punch, Lax was woefully unprepared when the other Fullbringer began to use Judo instead. Amare ducked down and swung a leg out to perform a takedown. Although Lax didn’t expect a kick rather than a punch, he was a master of jujutsu, of which takedowns were quite common. With his level of Battle Analysis, he'd notice the change in fighting style, though it didn't mean that he'd necessarily be able to react to it. Acting as fast as possible, as soon as he noticed that Amare was ducking down instead of remaining upright, Lax attempted to move and get away. Manipulating the ground slightly, he moved himself at an angle, increasing his speed as well as increasing the height of his jump as he leaped backwards away from his attacker.

Normally, he’d probably not be able to accomplish this in the amount of time that he had with his level of instinct, however there was one factor that would help him out in this case; Pandora. If the plushie succeeded in jumping on Amare’s back and covering his eyes, Lax would have sufficient time to get back away from the leg sweep. If somehow Amare deflected Pandora’s tackle without slowing himself down, then Lax would be thrown to the ground back into the mud. If Lax did get away in time, he’d immediately reverse direction, firing himself forwards purely using the ground for speed, with a fast punch aimed for the other human’s carotid artery. If successful, Amare would be knocked unconscious.

[Amare Mori]

Oh, that was uncool! Amare had exposed his back to an attack! First rule of combat! Don't give up your back, right! Even to a plushie! And his target had made, what, to Amare, seemed like an inhuman jump to avoid him. Dammit! How uncool is this situation, huh?[/color] Amare thought, as he tucked into a defensive roll. Lax's punch and Pandora's tackle attack would both sweep through nothing but air. Self preservation over destruction. That was always the rule in martial arts, and Amare was adhering to it. Sure. He might have been able to take one of them out, but in doing so, would risk being hit by the other. He had, instead, opted to turn his shoot into a forwards roll.

This would cause both attacks to miss, due to the sudden drop and distance created by Amare, who swiftly rolled back up to his feet, arms back up in a boxing guard. Pandora would now find himself between Amare and Lax. That worked for Amare, because it meant he couldn't be pincered. Lax or Pandora could only come at him one at a time. But how to go for offense.... Pandora was difficult to use his boxing against because of the plushie's short height, outside of counterattacks. And to get to Lax, Amare would have to find a way past Pandora. The plushie barrier worked both ways, afterall.

SPOILER: Click to show

Pandora flew through the air and watched helplessly as Amare rolled away from him. Pandora was shocked! He was so sure that he would have been able to get Amare from behind. His face bulged and he cried out in anger. "You bastard! I was sure I was going to get you. BAH! Now we have to keep going for longer then I thought!" Pandora was in the middle of them but they both towered over him. He was not really in the advantage at the moment. Pandora panicked! He was not in a good position at all. Amare was definitely the more experienced of the three and had a lot more on his side. Pandora really wanted him to be out of the equation that way he could then get his ass handed to him by Lax. He hoped that Amare wouldn't beat him to much but then again he might find some enjoyment out of it.

Pandora had realized at this point that Amare was faster then both Pandora and Lax. Lax was also slightly faster than Pandora but not at an amount that Pandora had noticed. He ran towards Lax watching his legs and arms. He kept a look out the best that he could with his plushie doll senses. Waiting for an opening Pandora rolled behind Lax and pounced at him. He was aiming for his back and expecting Lax to try stepping on him or kicking him. He was going to seize the opportunity then. Pandora wasn't much of a fighter, especially as a doll. He didn't have a lot of options all of the time and he never claimed to be the professional strategist. He had it pretty rough right now. But he was determined to get stronger and with that determination he did not allow himself to think of all the disadvantages he was currently in at the moment.

The jump attack failed for Pandora however that helped Lax out considerably. Lax was able to get away from Amare's leg sweep as the more experienced fullbringer was more focused on dodging the plushie than connecting with his target. As a result, Lax found himself on the ground in the mud, sliding backwards slightly down the hill as he hit. This made a good amount of distance between the three fighters, with the mod soul in the center. Pandora, seeing that Amare was the more dangerous fighter, came after Lax, hoping to be able to take him out.

Lax jumped up to his feet, helping himself up with the bamboo pole that he had never let go of from earlier. The plushie dodged around the fullbringer, but as he was slower even marginally it was faster for Lax to turn slightly than it was for Pandora to get completely behind him, meaning that the human was able to keep watching the plushie to the best of his ability, which to admit wasn't much. There was something that Lax could tell, by the position of Pandora's head and his level of Battle Analysis. As he was much taller than the toy, for the toy to be paying attention to the entirety of his body would require it to hold its head upwards. Instead, its head was pointed downwards, expecting some sort of attack from the legs.

The bamboo pole wouldn't be able to be affected by Lax's soul manipulation, but it could still be swung with borderline-athletic strength. With its instincts and senses lower than Lax's own, and its lower speed, Pandora probably would be clocked full force in the side by the pole, probably tearing it in half due to the repeated strain. Toys weren't meant to bare the brunt of repeated beatings, and Amare had wailed on it with his highly above-average strength a few times now. It would be doubtful that it would be able to put up with this attack from a weaponized pole, if the weaponization that he had applied would have done anything at all.

After sending the mid-range attack crashing through the toy's body, Lax would follow through to once again point at Amare. Would this leave him open if Pandora was able to keep going? Yeah, however, Amare was the bigger threat at the moment. Looking at Amare from the fairly large distance that they stood away from each other, Lax started to growl. The growling got louder and louder until it was a full on roar. At this point, the usual effect that Lax has on people should be taking full effect. He was a scary guy, that much is fact.

He has almost a foot of height on Amare, and almost forty pounds. He basically walks with fear following him, and Amare had basically been trying to ignore it the entire time. Well now, Lax was going to force Amare to realize the fear that was surrounding Lax, accept the fact that he felt afraid at the current moment. What he would do in that moment of fear, well that was for Lax to find out. If Pandora had survived the strong strike from the weaponized bamboo, then he would also probably be feeling the same fear as Amare would be at this point, maybe even more as he was so much smaller than the monster that was in front of him.

[Amare Mori]

[orangered]"You bastard! I was sure I was going to get you. BAH! Now we have to keep going for longer then I thought!"[/color] Amare grinned in the soaking rain. His hair was soaking wet and plastered to his head by now. "Of course! Because it's cooler that way!" He declared. He was ignoring the mud covering his torso thanks to his roll. It didn't matter anymore. When he won it'd all be awesome and cool! Aha! And the doll was opting to run to the other opponent instead of standing and facing Amare! It was only natural to fear someone as cool as Amare!

Wait, no that wasn't right. Fear wasn't cool! Awe was cool! He was running because he couldn't stand to be in the same space as someone as cool as Amare. That was it! He was unworthy, and he recognized it! Afterall he was a plushie! That was totally it! I'm succeeding in becoming a cool guy! Even the plushie recognizes it![/color] Amare thought, as he advanced towards the two of them. It seemed Lax was using a pole as a weapon. As Lax struck a blow at Pandora, Amare lunged forwards, attempting to close inside of the range at which Lax could use the pole. "Spear of justice!" Amare cried out, as his arm thrust forwards in a right straight, aiming to collide with Lax's face. A pole was a weapon that would give him an advantage if he could reclaim the distance that Amare had struggled to close. If he was clever, then Amare would not be able to close the distance again, due to the reach advantage inherent in using a long weapon.

Of course.... he still had that. As Amare threw the punch he considered the scarf around his neck. Since his opponent was using a weapon, wouldn't it be appropriate for him to use one as well? It may be cool to beat a weapon user with one's bare hands, but to lose to a cheat? That was so uncool. Better to win in a fair battle than to lose to a guy who upped the ante like that! We'll see if this guy can handle my punch first![/color] Amare thought to himself, intent on seeing the results of his right straight to Lax's jaw.

[Pandora]

Pandora ran around Lax. He was going to need to try his very best to hold his own any longer with these too. He after all was at a very large disadvantage with his size, and senses there was no way he was going to win against either of them. But his thoughts were about what he needed to do to win instead of rationalizing the gab in between them. Pandora wasn't the type to think about himself losing. He liked to keep his thoughts positive so that way he couldn't say he didn't try

That was when it happened. Lax slammed the pole into him and Pandora was lifted into the air. The force of the whack threw him through the air and it also managed to tear him. It didn't tear him enough to separate him into pieces but he was not attached enough to be able to do.. well anything. Instead he screamed out in pain and landed in the mud rolling through it. He was out of the fight there was absolutely no recovering from this and continuing on. Pandora's eyes sharpened he was angry with himself. This lose was a very humiliating one. Not only did he provide the bamboo pole but he opened himself to the attack and didn't even anticipate it.

He was clumsy and not experienced. There was going to need to be a lot of improvement or else Pandora was never going to be happy with himself. He liked to be strong and this form this body was very unfitting to him. He was a plant as weak as a flower in the hands of a child. Then everything started to get fuzzy for Pandora. His vision went black and he lost conscious. The soul pill wasn't dead but the body that held him was unfit to continue housing him. He was going to need to get it repaired or find a new vessel to hold him. Hopefully one of the two would find him after the fight and help him out so he wasn't found by a shinigami or hollow and destroyed.

[Lax Paral]

Lax slammed the pole into the Mod Soul, who then went flying while also being torn most of the way through his body. When trying to turn around, he suddenly got a face full of fist by Amare who hadn't wasted any time in coming to run at the victor of the clash of Fullbringer and Mod Soul. Amare was strong, too strong, and another full force hit to the face simply floored Lax leaving him gasping for breath. "Ack... you're strong, man... I'd rather not wake up with you hovering over meee......." With the last word, Lax faded into unconsciousness. The battle had been a learning experience, one that the young Fullbringer would definitely grow from, and though overall it was a loss, in part it was also a victory. When Lax woke up, he'd go searching for Pandora to try and get him a new plushie body if Amare hadn't already done that.
