Zoey would try her best to defend against the knives. He can transform the shape of things? She smiled and lunged at his face, tossing two mushrooms at his head as well. "I'm not strong, but I'll do my best!"

[Valor]

The first knife hit Zoey squarely, but the second she was able to deflect away harmlessly. The Balance stood his ground, not even bothering to move as she chucked two more mushrooms at him. He took both of the mushrooms to the face and stumbled back a step. They had surprising force to them. In retaliation, The Balance stepped in to Zoey and attempted to strike her with his frail frame. If it connected, he'd swing his other fist at her as well.

[Ralor]

Zoey would once again attempt to block and endure the punches before backing up a bit and retaliating with a mushroom to the groin and a mushroom to the face.

[Valor]

The Balance's thin fist collided with Zoey. Surprisingly, it hit her like a brick. Before she could recover, there was another shot, even harder, that sent her reeling despite her best efforts. The mushroom flung at his nether regions would make him cock an eyebrow and toughen his skin. The second mushroom also bounced off of him harmlessly. He tilted his head.

"That was a low blow, literally!" he said with a chuckle. "Well! Here I come!" he announced, crouching down.

He shot towards Zoey and unleashed a three punch combo at her midsection, aiming to work the body instead of going for head shots. If she backed away from his assault, he'd throw two knives at her in rapid fire succession.

Zoey smiled and backed off as the boy rushed at her, and responded to the knives defensively, retaliating with three mushrooms towards his arms and head.

[Valor]

The knives hit Zoey squarely, leaving behind a few gashes as they dissipated into nothingness after leaving their marks. Balance stood his ground as the mushrooms bounced off of him again. He stepped in to her again and railed three quick punches at her again, not wanting to give her time or space

[Ralor]

Zoey backed off from The Balance again, defended against his knives, and quickly gulped down a restorative potion.

[Valor]

Zoey took a step backwards, but undeterred, the Balance crushed her with the first strike, wounding her. He followed up with two straight jabs that exhausted Zoey's strength and caused the simulation to come to an abrupt stop.

The Balance stepped back and put his hands on his hips. "I'll be waiting if you ever care to spar again."

The lights blinked on, and green letters appeared before Zoey.

The lights in Ari's sphere dimmed to black and the Loading... screen popped up for a hot minute.

When the lights returned, Ari found himself in a wide, circular room. Two thugs, each approximately six feet tall materialized not far away from him from an array of flashing, blue squares which built them from the feet up. Each of them was carrying a short, thick club. Eerily, the two moved in tandem, as if following a basic video game "standing still" sequence where their shoulders would rise and fall with each breath, and they would pat the club down into their free hands with each fall.


A countdown appeared in green numbers, hovering in midair just before him.

Ari looked around as the lights dimmed and a loading screen popped up. The room was pretty cool. He wondered how tough these thugs would be. The light returned and the impressive room displayed two impressive thugs. Ari wasn't sure how he was going to do this. He had learned aikido for this short of thing. He would use that. His squares would help if he got in a pickle. He waited for the thugs to make their move.

The thugs exchanged a glance when Alessandro opted to hang back.

The thug on Ari's left rushed toward him, readying his club while the thug to the right circled around, aiming to come in from the side.

The thug raised his club and swung at Ari once, as a means of testing him and paving the way for thug, who simply hung back and continued his circling.

Ari readied his stance for the incoming attack. He snapped his fingers for a green square to appear for wear the strike was headed. He would try to sidestep the blow himself, move to the right (assuming right handed blow, left if left handed) grabbing the assaulting hand, pulled the hand with club forward while twisting around and then pulling the hand and club toward him. If he did it right, the thug would twist and fall down. If for some reason he screwed up the disarm he would still have an angle and the assailant and would send a strike to the knee closest to him followed by a close-fisted punch to the head of the club-wielder. If the disarm worked and the thug attempted to get back up, he would be met with a series of blows from the club, one towards the head and the other towards the knee closest.

square, move (2/3), disarm (attack?), attack x2

[Secret Igshar]

The thug's club struck the square and stopped dead, all momentum ceased by the odd object. While he was confused, Ari reached for his arm and couldn't seem to wrestle the club from the thug's grip. When he tried to throw the thug down, the thug tried instead to push Ari back. While Ari went back, he managed to get in a kick to the thug's knee, sending the thug tumbling to the ground, off-balance from the awkward positioning. Ari managed to catch him off-guard with a second strike, this one to his head. The thug struck the ground, hard. He was dazed, but not out. He lay there for the time-being to gather himself.

Meanwhile, the other thug closed in from behind Ari and delivered a pair of quick strikes with his club, hoping to catch the boy off-guard.

[Lexaeus]

Alessandro was aware the second thug might take him from behind and snapped his fingers to summon another green square behind himself, hopefully stopping any direct assault. Of course he did this while turning around, once he saw how close the guy was he tried his best to get out of the way of the strikes but he did not move his overall position. He sent a counter stomp on the guy's planted foot followed by a reckless punch towards the guy's upper body if not head, hopefully knocking him down as well. If he did he would turn to the other brute and if he was attempting to get up he would send a couple kicks his way to keep him in his place. If he didn't fall over he would send a swing of his right hand to bludgeon the guy's head followed by a knee to the gut.

Square, Attack x4

[Secret Igshar]

The thug's first strike cleaved through the square and struck Ari hard in the gut. The second one, however, was slowed considerably and he would barely feel the injury.

The thug raised his club to block Ari's punch, and didn't even stumble from the impact.

While he focused on the one, the other thug got to his feet and aimed to crack his club over Ari's head. The one Ari was focused on moved to thrust his club into Ari's gut.

Ari would attempt to power through the more injured thug. He would send as many punches as he needed until the brute was down, focusing his strikes to knock his lights out with blows to the head along with a kick to the knee.

[Secret Igshar]

The club struck Alessandro's head with a loud -CRACK- as the other club struck him solidly in the gut. Dazed and staggering from the blows, he couldn't defend himself from another pair of club strikes, one from either side. One hit his side while the other struck him across the head, and Alessandro fell down, soundly defeated and wounded.

The two thugs vanished in a sequence of blue squares and the room returned to normal. Alessandro would feel a dull throbbing in his head and his side would be quite substantially bruised from the final blow.

Zoey chuckled at the man and smiled, imediately tossing two mushrooms towards his exposed head, and conjuring up a layer of fungus on her skin and was prepared to block if needed.

[Secret Igshar]

Dentoka's head fell to one side as his staff swung down and clanged against the floor. Both of Zoey's mushrooms fell short, landing ahead of Dentoka on the ground. He blinked and said, "That all you got? Pretty pathetic. Try this on for size." He held out his left hand before him and snapped his fingers twice. Two balls of flame rocketed from his hand, twisting and turning about one another in the air as they flew toward Zoey at a reckless speed. Unlike Zoey's mushrooms, Dentoka's fire actually could reach his target at this range. "Hot enough for you?" he asked flatly, twirling his staff around before holding it before him, aiming the gem at the head of it toward Zoey. "Or would you prefer I turn it up a notch?"

[Ralor]

Zoey used her arms to block the attachs, coating them in a skin of fungus to lessen the damage. She hopped forward two spaces and would fire two more mushrooms at her foe.

[Secret Igshar]

Dentoka raised his staff, forming a barrier before himself as he called out, "Prysm, Defend!" The first mushroom was vaporized against the armored shell, and the second bounced off. The barrier dropped and Dentoka shook his head. "You really should have kept your distance."

 

Holding Prysm out before him, it was suddenly engulfed in flames before they rolled forward, washing Zoey and the area around her in thick, heavy fire. As those flames died down, Dentoka would wave his staff to one side, firing a swirling ball of blue flame toward her.
