Stress relief

[dothewave]

((Continuation of this thread))

[in a clearing not far away from the mafia cave! Yamamoto shrugs off the wrap on his shinai and changes it to a blade.]

Wanna warm up first?

[answers with a pair of MINI-BOMBS FLYING AT YOU]

[lolmafialol.livejournal.com]

[laughs and cuts them off from most of their gunpowder. Still some explosions behind him, though]

Let's go.

[tasteslikeash.livejournal.com]

Yeah, yeah. Do your worst.

[lolmafialol.livejournal.com]

[moves fast this time with a modified first form, thrusting forward with his blade and sending water surging from around him at Gokudera in blades]

[tasteslikeash.livejournal.com]

[shit shit 8( Just manages to open a pair of shields to block the bulk of the attack, angling them in front of him to deflect it]

[lolmafialol.livejournal.com]

[Ducks low out of the way and keeps the pressure on, throwing another wave of water at his shields]

[tasteslikeash.livejournal.com]

[drops to his knees, leaning down and angling one shield directly in front of him. He might be catching cuts from a few of those blades on either side now, but he can send the second shield pinwheeling at Yamamoto 8)]

[lolmafialol.livejournal.com]

[--oh damn, staggers back and scrambles]

[tasteslikeash.livejournal.com]

[It goes buzzing over your head~ And the shield Dera's hiding behind levels out to hover above him so he can get a quick shot of cloud flames out]

[lolmafialol.livejournal.com]

[digs his feet in and slashes his sword, cutting a few, but some slam into his shoulders and leg]

Khg . . .

[tasteslikeash.livejournal.com]

[gets to his feet, swiping at some blood on one arm and keeping the shield at least partially between the two of them]

Give up?

[lolmafialol.livejournal.com]

[rolls his shoulder, eying his leg before shaking it out and sliding into another form]

Are you kidding?

Come on. Your turn for a free shot.

[tasteslikeash.livejournal.com]

[grins and raises his arm to take aim -- but that second shield is pinwheeling back towards them from behind Yamamoto]

[lolmafialol.livejournal.com]

[steadyyy. His eyes glancing over his shoulder, then back to Gokudera, and he grins right back with water swirling at his feet]

[tasteslikeash.livejournal.com]

[Now are you a bad enough dude to dodge rockets fired from a skull!machinegun slash flamethrower AND a skeletal, flaming pinwheel of death? 'cause that's what's coming at you from opposite sides.]

[lolmafialol.livejournal.com]

[I dunno baby, let's find out. Drags the tip of his sword up from the ground and a funnel of water raises from the ground and fires up, spinning fast around him in full defense. The pinwheel slams RIGHT IN, thrown off by the centrifugal force careening to the side, and the rockets hit and explode on contact with the rest of the water]

[lolmafialol.livejournal.com]

[would've been bad if he wasn't ducked down low, and he dashes forward low to the ground and throws himself into an 8th Form, trying to get under his defenses and land a hit]

[tasteslikeash.livejournal.com]

[You're so crazy baby. S-staring a bit at the water funnel before remembering he should pay attention. Just in time to see Yamamoto coming out and at him! He stumbles back on instinct and pulls the first shield in from the side, trying to force Yamamoto off course before he reaches him]

[lolmafialol.livejournal.com]

[It'd work too, and it looks like he's forced to the side, trying to avoid careening head-on--

But then SUDDENLY Yamamoto jolts in from the side that's been left open from you moving that shield]

[tasteslikeash.livejournal.com]

[Waaasn't expecting that. There's a clear moment of startled hesitation before he moves, trying to swing his skull over in time to catch Yamamoto before he gets too close, set strictly to storm this time]

[lolmafialol.livejournal.com]

[hit square in the chest, the impact bad enough to blast him off his feet and splatter backwards with a crack against a shield behind him. It takes a moment of give before he really splatters, the swallow flying out of the water in a burst of blue.

Kept your eyes on the first one? He's back on course and aiming a vertical slash]

[tasteslikeash.livejournal.com]

[No I was busy watching you take a DIRECT HIT 8( Though the exploding into water pretty fucked-- oshi

He only has time to throw his arms up, catching the blow on his forearms instead of taking it directly] --FUCK! That fucking stings, asshole!!

[lolmafialol.livejournal.com]

[laughs, aiming his sword at him again]

Give up?

[tasteslikeash.livejournal.com]

[scowls, stepping back]

You should know I don't give up.

[lolmafialol.livejournal.com]

[definitely more of a bright smile than even a split second ago, and he gets the hell out of those shields before Gokudera decides to bludgeon him and taps his sword on his bleeding shoulder]

One point each.
