Fassad, as usual, enters the arena with his normal style and aplomb. He waves to the audience, and throws a rose to a cute girl. His Shinki, Serafina, an Olbern, is resting on his shoulder.

         The two of them pull out their swords, with a flourish. They're going for /total style/.

         It has served them well so far.


        Kagenashi, of course, is about as subdued as ever. She only strides confidently and elegantly toward the arena, with Mae perched on her right shoulder, arms crossed and fangs glinting with her broad grin. As usual, the fox shinki is far more obviously excited about this than her master, simply brimming with confidence and assurance.

        Once they reach the main arena, Mae simply hops off and floats down to the combat level, her armor appearing in a flash of white light. She hops eagerly from foot to foot, punching in midair as she gets ready for the match to start. Kagenashi, meanwhile, simply leans down to give the little fox a pat on the head before striding along to sit in the master's booth.

Busou Shinki Battle Arena
        Welcome to the Battle Rondo Arena, home of the Busou Shinki Battle Rondo.

        It is a massive stadium with a roof, easily as large as any sports arena and capable of seating thousands of full sized humans in multiple levels. Near the arena floor are numerous large boxes filled with tiny seats for shinki spectators, as well as private boxes for the Masters of tournament fighters and the fighters themselves who are not actively fighting.
        The arena floor itself is a massive holographic projector, relaying the tournament bouts on an enormous scale. Individual shinki render at close to three meters tall, along with all of the terrain surrounding them. At this enormous scale, shinki combat can be seen clearly even from the nosebleed section.

        The actual battles take place on a small table in the center of the arena floor. The visualizer here projects the images and battles re-broadcast for stadium viewing by the much larger holofield.

Visualizer

This is a Shinki Visualizer. For commands, see +vis/help

Currently active: ANCIENT RUIN
        An ancient-looking Shinki-scaled ruin of a distinctive Greek nature. Uneven stone slabs form a large courtyard in the center of a pavillion, surrounded by tall fluted marble pillars. Many of the pillars are connected at the top by ornate stone caps, but some of this structure has long since broken away. The ruin is surrounded by forestland, with an ocean in the distance. Large platforms of carved stone also float in the sky in randomly determined locations.
        This Field has a toggle, and can be set for Night or Daytime combat.

Fassad activates the Visualizer. In a flare of light and color, it deploys the Battle Field:

OIL RIG
        Standing high above the waves in the middle of an endless sea, this Battle Field is an commercial oil drilling platform. Pipes and equipment crowd the top decks in impossible mazes, filled with flammable black liquid. Catwalks and steel walls form basic structures and buildings, and the lower decks form a more claustrophobic battle arena than most. It's all scaled to shinki size. Oil drums and large tanks, processing and drilling equipment, living quarters and control rooms. A large tower looms over it all, with a helicopter landing pad nearby.

        All that confidence in the little Renge just steadily slips away when the arena is revealed to be an oil rig. This is...really going to make things difficult for her, considering the lack of open space. But she'll just have to try her best-

        And Serafina is already rushing toward her. Mae has to think quickly, and thankfully she has something to help her right here. Two of her sword tails appear in her hands, and she immediately lifts them up in a cross to try and catch her enemy's sword between them and avoid getting hit. Not that it works entirely: the blade still comes down just enough to graze along the top of her head, between her pointy ears. Still, better than getting cut in half already.

        "Geez, lady, calm down!" With a grunt of effort, Mae tries pushing Serafina's sword up and away so that she can bring one of her own swords in to stab at the Olbern's stomach. "You're not gonna get anywhere if you freak out about this!"

        In all fairness, Mae is getting pretty desperate herself. Despite her confidence, she wasn't actually sure how far she could even make it in the tournament. Kagenashi, however, has been a good model on how to remain composed even in the most stressful situations, and with that in mind, Mae does her absolute best not to let the strain get to her.

        Ah, but if she can get her /opponent/ to feel the heat of the situation...

        Well, better to think about that later, when she's not being assaulted by a powerful, cleaving arc. Immediately Mae goes up to block again, letting Serafina's sword hit hers with a resounding clang as Mae herself is knocked back. The blade doesn't get to her armor, but she does end up slamming against a nearby railing with another loud impact of metal on metal.

        "Ow, damn," Mae hisses, wincing but at the same time preparing to jump in again. "Well, fine, go ahead and freak out if you want, but don't blame me when you trip over your own feet!"

        And then she's leaping off, rushing through the air toward Serafina. She doesn't attack with her swords, though, instead angling to strike her opponent with a solid blow of her knee to the chest.
You suffer 8 points of damage.

        Mae immediately settles into a prepared position once she lands from her attack, swords raised and body turned to face Serafina. The Olbern takes a moment to consider her options, though, a fact which Mae takes advantage of to switch out her swords for heavy claw gauntlets, each with four of her sword-tails. Now she only has one blue blade emerging from the small of her back.

        When Serafina dives down at her, Mae is quick to react. Though perhaps not quite quick enough. She leaps back, but still suffers a slice along her inner right calf thanks to the force of that sword's descent.

        "Yeah, well all that just isn't enough..." Mae turns slightly in midair, angling herself so that she plants her feet on another nearby railing. Immediately after landing, she kicks off yet again, driving one arm forward in a direct punch of her claws to Serafina. "...against the GLORY OF AZUMAAAA!"

 Hey, I want to enter the Battle Rondo tournament. With an Olbern MMS Type Fencer - Pearl. Fassad will name it Lady Serafina Christina Spryte Ari-Arcadia The Third.

        And down Mae goes again, landing on her feet after her blow hits. Just as she's about to leap in for another strike, though, Serafina...runs away. The fox shinki looks on in some confusion, but still braces herself to prepare in case Serafina still decides to actually do something.

        Which she does, though it wasn't nearly what Mae expected. A gun or a laser or something, not cutting the oil rig up to weaponize debris. Mae's eyes go wide briefly, and her surprise stops her from reacting quickly enough to avoid the debris entirely. The debris smashes against her lower leg as she leaps aside, drawing another wince from the Renge before she rolls and pushes herself up again. A frown comes over her features as she tries to consider how best to approach this.

        Thankfully, she has some ranged options to consider. Sure, that didn't go quite as well last time, but why get in close if she can make use of the distance? With that in mind, Mae lifts one gauntleted arm and fires off three of the swords from it right at Serafina before ducking back to try and avoid a counterattack.

        Wow, that's a little faster than Mae expected. She probably could have managed to block that stab a little better if she hadn't managed to forget in her last-minute reaction that she's down three swords on one arm. But no, she attempts to use /that/ arm to block, completely missing Serafina's sword and suffering a painful-looking stab in the gut for her mistake.

        The fox shinki gives a brief cry of pain, stumbling where she stands. But after her brief flash of damage, Mae smirks. "Well...hey, I always do better at close range anyway!"

        With that, the Renge pulls back the arm that now only has one claw on it. Rather than using that, however, she instead delivers a solid uppercut to Serafina with the blunt part of the gauntlet, not even bothering to pull the sword out of herself yet.

Warning 'my-desc' for Fassad(#1804PnAC):
player is missing description

        Mae wasn't expecting Serafina to be quite /that/ fast. The Olbern immediately puts on the pressure, stabbing and thrusting with enough speed to take Mae off her guard. The first couple of strikes hit her squarely before she can properly react, and even after she raises her gauntlets to block, those jabs get in between her guard.

        The Renge has to grit her teeth and focus, trying /very/ hard to find some sort of opening in the constant pressure Serafina is giving her. And soon enough she finds it, thrusting her arm forward and to the side to parry Serafina's blade in that next stab.

        In another flash, Mae's gauntlets vanish, and the last flash comes as she brings her hands together over her head. With a shout, she brings the weapon down on Serafina even before it fully forms: a large hammer, formed from all nine of her tail-blades being assembled together into one heavy, bladed mass.

        Mae can't help a little grin of satisfaction when she sees Serafina go flying back. This might turn the tables, if she can keep it up. A few powerful strikes, a few good dodges, and-

        And she should probably pay more attention to her opponent rather than getting caught up in thoughts of glory and victory. That sword swing strikes right into her side, and then it's her turn to go flying aside and tumbling head over heels along the rig's floor. She rights herself quickly enough, but some clear damage is really starting to show. If she doesn't get back into things soon...

        Mae grips her hammer tightly, then lifts it and delivers a quick swing. It's not to Serafina, though; instead, she aims for a nearby oil drum, launching it at the shinki as a sort of distraction. She follows it up immediately with a step forward and another spin, building momentum into a powerful golf swing aimed to send Serafina flying away!

        Mae recovers from her swing just in time to see Serafina swing her sword nowhere near where she is right now. The Renge pauses, blinks, and only when she hears the screeching of falling metal does she think to look up at the tower falling down toward her.

        Yeah, no matter how fast she moves, there's not much mitigating that.

        The tower falls right on top of her with a crash. For several seconds, it seems like Serafina has successfully crushed the fox. Eventually, though, the rubble shifts and stirs and Mae crawls out from the wreckage, looking very much the worse for wear with dents and cuts all over.

        "...okay. Good trick," she winces, managing to get to her feet and hold her hammer tightly in her grasp. "But I'm...not giving up yet! Not as long as I still have hope to see the GLORY OF AZUMA!"

        With a shout, the fox rushes in after Serafina again, her hammer lifted above her head. Rather than actually smashing it down, though, Mae suddenly ducks and twists, instead delivering another upward swing to the Olbern. And, of course, she doesn't leave it at that. She angles the points of the hammer toward Serafina as she's in midair and launches all nine of the swords from its end at the shinki to follow up with an aerial combo!
