Earth Training 2 (Carmen and Carla)[SAGA]

[Carmen]

Carla appeared frustrated that her strange attack had not worked like it was supposed to. Hearing the girl yell at her in frustration Carmen couldn't help but smile. Still a little sore about having her face scratched up the Makaio was more than ready to pay the stronger fighter back. Watching the girl through her scope still it was still a bit mind boggling how much her appearance had changed. Not so long ago she had been that small twevlee year old girl stretching in her oversized kimono. At that point Carla hadn't even seemed that seruous about fighting, her stretch routine having been almost commical.

When she had released her full power the change that overcame her was complete, body and mind it seemed. The small frame she had housed before turned into a taller one, with the curves of a woman. That outfit had been far to large, but now it barely fit the woman, making her look like some sort of exhibitionist. Her attitude had shifted as well, now much more aggressive and demanding if not still on the childish side. Viewing the newest version of Carla through her scope Carmen realized something...it didn't matter. Regardless if Carla had remaimed a child or not the Makaio was going to blast her just the same. Hearing the girl call out to her Carmen lifts her eye from the scope.

"You got it hun!" Along with the exclamation Carmen squeezes her index finger, pulling the trigger of her sniper rifle. A bright pink blast rips free of the long barrel,  hurtling towards the other female. The technique was powerful as it was, but having been charged it had even more kick to it. As the gun fires Carmen gets knocked backwards out of her stance,  landing on her rump.  The muzzle of the gun jerks up into the air as she drops back, never having fired it before with so much power as the demoness is completely unprepared for the kickback. Carmen had sensed the energy gathering in her opponent, but hadn't cared what she was planning,  the shot she had just fired should rip through anything.

The rifle shot flew towards Carla at a speed almost faster then her mind could process and react to. The power from the incoming laser blast looked very strong as a pink flash of light covered her view of Carmen before her. She responded though in full force and used her summoned up ki to blast it back somewhat.

"Ki-yah! Take this you!" she screamed at the top of her lungs. Red ripples of energy flowed out of her body and met the pink energy source, eating most of it up, but thanks to Carmen's charged attack's piercing form Carla found herself quickly hit by the laser's remaining force. It knocked her back in powerful explosion and sent her riveting towards the edge of Lookout's platform. Her body suddenly felt weightless as she sailed over the edge and found herself looking down at the ground hundreds of feet below. There were now many burn marks on the front of her body, including her hands, but she used both of them to grab the edge of training stage and cried out, "That nearly killed me you know!"

Carla figured it was Carmen's revenge towards her. But for what she did not really know. All she could do though was pull herself up slowly back onto the flat, metal surface and lay there on her stomach injured yet alive. "I'm going to be ready for round two in a second here though feel free to take some cheap shots if you want. It will only make me stronger."

Carla was not about to lose, however, she felt a great amount of fear overwhelm her body. This resulted in her spitting out blood from her mouth as she realized her face was even more damaged then before. Pounding her fist on the ground hard, the platform she lay on shook slightly. She was lucky to still be in her transformed state otherwise she felt the next coming attacks were going to rip her apart.

Kiai
Japanese Name: Kiai

This is an attack where the user shoots a blast a Ki at their opponent by screaming. It has the ability to shove the target around, but does not do much damage.

[Carmen]

Carmen felt her power that left the barrel of her rifle, able to clearly sense the amount of energy that she had poured into the attack. With a wide grin she felt the end of the gun lift up into the air as her planted feet acted as the anchor for the large weapon. So much power was packed into the blast that a small shockwave, which started at the tip of the gun, rippled back over her. The invisible wave of built up energy tossing her pink locks around wildly. Now that was a blast! The Makaio loved her Vulcan Pistols, but this baby was far more powerful than they could ever be and on top of the sheer force it packed it condensed the energy into one precise shot…devastating.

Carla let out a scream which was accompanies by red ripples of energy as the shot soared towards her. Chuckling, the human looking demon was quite pleased as her shot pierced the attack with ease, only faltering slightly in its path before colliding with the other woman. The power of the attack sent Carle flying towards the edge of the Lookout, Carmen sure she was about to go tumbling off of the edge and plummet to the Earth below. Some of the girl’s joy was stolen when what was left of her opponents Kiai hit her, the stronger fighter’s attack still packing enough punch to sending Carmen rolling backwards. As she went head over heels backwards she lost the grip on her rifle, letting the weapon fade to nothingness as it skidded across the tiled floor. Coming to rest on her stomach several yards away from where she had been standing her head shot up, grinning wide as she noticed Carla had saved herself from falling, but was taking a moment to recover.

Seeing her first real advantage in this fight the demoness vaults to her feet so that she lands in a slight crouch before launching herself into the air. Sailing towards her opponent with both arms rose over her head she summoned her rifle back into her hands, but this time the barrel appearing in her grip, the heavier end of the weapon extended far above her head. Dropping back down towards the Lookout she planned to land right alongside the downed Carla, and swings the butt of her rifle down hard onto the woman’s stomach. With the height of her jump, the power behind her swing and the weight of the weapon she was sure it was at least going to sting despite the power difference between the two. Carla had announced Carmen could take some “cheap” shots, but in her mind all was fair when it came to a fight. The objective was to win wasn’t it?

[Deleted]

I-I can't move... Carla thinks to herself as the heavy end of Carmen's sniper rifle hits her in the stomach. The wind almost seems knocked out of her as she lays there flat on her back and looks up at the pink haired demoness.

"I want to give this victory to you, so um, just knock me out now." Carla tells Carmen in a hoarse voice as she waits to be hit again.

Don't give up and try to trick her! Pandora shrieks in the back of her mind. You did this with Kemuri I think and it doesn't work! Not with someone trained as well as this!

Carla grits her teeth and whines, "Hit me again please!" It almost feels like a good portion of her energy is gone, maybe upwards of seventy five percent thanks to having to use so much force to stop the last attack she had aimed at herself.

[Carmen]

The butt of her rifle slammed down into the girl’s stomach, cracks spreading out beneath her foe from the force of the impact. Grinning wide the Makaio was impressed with herself. Sure she knew how to handle herself in combat, but she had always been up against people that were stronger than her and ended up losing or running. This girl though, Carla, was stronger than her in her transcended state, and yet Carmen was holding her own, even winning. As the girl groaned out that she wanted to hand the victory to the pink haired female she was about to agree, pulling her rifle off of the girls stomach. Then came the retort, “Hit me again please!”

Not sure how to react to such a statement not used to others asking her to hit them the demoness just shrugs. Yanking the weapon back up she decides to oblige the girls request, after all it was fun to hit things. Lifting the gun high above her head, the weapon fully extended as it stuck above her the scene was a little ridiculous, the small pink haired girl holding up a weapon that was longer than she was tall. After a moment’s pause her arms drop down, bring the weapon back down towards the girl’s stomach again. Carmen wasn’t sure why this one was such an odd creature, but the fact was they were still fighting and until one of them yielded the match would go on. As the rifle drops the farthest thing from the girls mind was that her opponent was her sister, had Pandora speaking to her and might very well be planning some sort of trap.

[Deleted]

"Nice hit!" Carla coughed after she felt the back of get buried into the ground with Carmen's fire blow, but before her next attack. Carla was enjoying this because this was the first time she was enjoying some actual pain since her sessions with Kami and Kemuri. She wanted a strong opponent, but there was one thing she was not going to let happen and that was to let Carmen completely overpower her.

Although it was easier for her to do so now, Carla knew she could still win this spar if she played her cards right. That is why while Carmen's second strike was coming down on her stomach she reached out her right hand and grabbed the end of Carmen's rifle in her palm. Then she pushed back with the slightest bit of force and used her empty left hand to charge ki. This ki extended into a blade about two feet long from the end of her wrist and she thrust this blade up towards Carmen's possibly exposed waist.

"You didn't think I'd given up did you?" She was now about to let Carmen taste her Energy Sword, or at least back off, since she actually feared she couldn't reach her waist or any vital part of her body. The Energy Sword was a useful technique and was a main part of the AnAn's combat abilities as assassins. Generally, almost all AnAn clan members produced twin siblings at some point in their life. All family members were then paired with one swordsman and one long range specialist for life either their brother or sister that they were born with. Usually one of the siblings took to either of the two open paths and stuck specifically with the weapon of choice they wished for. Sometimes though, as might have been the case with Carmen, family members' siblings desired to train primarily in both long range and close range combat and take all the power of a familial bond for themselves.

Carla, since the death of her sister had not really wanted to follow this custom anymore which is why she took to training in whatever she wished. It was great fun and good for her to know more then one style of stale combat. And right now, that was going to help her. If Carmen was taken by surprise Carla would try to slash at Carmen multiple times with her Energy Sword, three or four at most, to give herself some distance between her so she could then prepare her Thunder Flash again.

[Carmen]

The smirk fades from Carmen’s face as the rifle swings down towards Carla’s stomach and suddenly stops. Eyes widen the Makaio realizes that her stronger foe has simply caught the end of her gun in her hand. Not the best at close combat Carmen realizes she should have stayed back, used her rifle again to blast the woman from the Lookout. That is what she should have done and it would have won the match for her, but no she had been foolish. While Carla had been trained in close combat her sister had been trained with a focus on long range fighting. Together the pair could have done wonders together, but Pandora had made sure to separate them with her power, clearing both their memories. The two sisters might never know what it was like to completely utilize their skills as a pair.

Trying to yank her rifle free of the girl’s grip Carmen was not able to before Carla stabs at her with the energy blade. The demoness hisses in pain as the tip of the blade bites into her stomach a little, the thin shirt she wears doing nothing to stop the burning blade. Not wanting to take another hit like that or one that was worse she lets go of her rifle, letting the weapon dematerialize as she goes stumbling back. It turns out to be a smart decision as Carla then attempts to stab at her several more times, the pink haired human able to get back far enough with only taking one more glancing blow, the blade slicing her right thigh open. Growling in more pain, Carmen staggers a bit as she regains her balance, drawing her pistols once more.

”You little wench! How dare you!”

The scratches on her face had been one thing, but Carmen was bleeding from those last two hits, dark red blood running down her leg and spreading on her stomach a little. Guns back out the Makio starts to fire away, shooting as fast as she can at the other girl. A little angry now the girl’s aura flares again, her pink hair lifting some as her maximum power is utilized, looking as if a strong wind was rustling it.

[Deleted]

Carla dodges back and forth as lasers fly in her direction.

"Why-don't-you-stop-getting-so-angry," Carla comments as she ducks and dives her past deadly energy blasts. She now has come to realize how dangerous Carmen's weapons are as well as her own when she clearly sees her energy blade has now cut through the woman's stomach enough to make blood drip down her legs.

"I-I think we should stop," she utters as she tries to keep her distance from her while doding. Although she was able to escape Carla felt as though she was starting to run out of gas while fighting Carmen. Her breath is slightly heavier then usual and she feels a sudden change in her height as she finds herself tripping over the end of her kimono during one of her chances to dodge. This causes her to face plant on the ground, at the same time dodging one final laser. There is a chance now for Carmen to truly blast her as she now lays flat on the hard, stone ground of Kami's Lookout.

Carla looks up at Carmen as her body continues to shrink back down to its normal size. She hopes Carmen will not attack. But probably will thanks to all she has done.

[Carmen]

The girl was quick, fast enough to avoid the shots that came from Carmen’s dual pistols. Angry?!? Of course she was angry, she had just received to sharp stinging cuts from the woman’s energy blade and she was being told not to get angry. Firing more shots she saw that Carla looked to be slowing down, perhaps growing tired as the spar continued, not to mention the hits that she had taken as well. The charge blast from her rifle was an especially strong one and the Makaio knew it must have hurt. Grinning fires a couple more shots before something interesting happens.

In the middle of her dodging Carla clothes seemed to grow…no she was getting smaller, reverting back to her normal size as her power level also began to shrink. Several more shots were fired from her pistols that the girl still managed to dodge…that was until she dripped on her oversized kimono, the outfit no doubt extra large so that when she transformed it was not
overly revealing.

Having heard the request to stop the combat Carmen was almost willing to oblige, but still wanted some form of pay back for the wounds she had just taken. She wasn’t going to just stop because her foe wanted to, now that she had lost some of her power and was even with Carmen. She also wasn’t going to pummel and hurt the girl needlessly as she lay on the ground, she was a demon, but she wasn’t a wild animal. No, she was going to end the match officially.
As Carla fell to the tile floor of the Lookout Carmen rushed over to her, guns still drawn. Rushing up alongside her she aims both of her guns down at Carla’s face, fingerings hovering over the triggers.

”If you want to stop…admit I won!” Was it selfish and immature? Yes, but then again no one that had ever met Carmen would explain her as mature and selfless, she was a young demon when it came down to it and ultimately it reflected in her character.

[Deleted]

Carla could barely move anymore as Carmen stood over her and told her to say she had won. She nodded silently feeling neck ache as she did. There had been a lot of body blows dealt to her over the course of her training, and even though she was initially stronger she realized she had lost simply because she had not used the power gained by her own will properly. Reaching a hand into her kimono the girl knew she did not have a Senzu Bean, but thought she should reward the demon who had crushed her so finely into a pulp.

In her kimono's pockets was a small, heart shaped purse which she pulled out and then held up for Carmen to see. "Take it... You won..." she uttered before falling unconscious. Her hand hit the floor and when it did the purse spilled out onto the ground revealing all of Carla's Zeni savings. This fight was over, but the newly formed rivalry between them was not.

(Requesting PL and transferring All Zeni to Carmen for a job well done.)

[Carmen]

A wide smirk overtakes Carmen’s face as Carla admits that the pink haired fighter is the winner. Chuckling some she watches as the girl reaches into her now extra large kimono. What trickery did she have planned? Keeping her guns leveled at her foe the Makaio did not trust her, unsure as to what she might be trying to fish from her robes. When the girl produced the small heart shaped purse Carmen almost thought it to be some sort of attack like the one she had launched at her early.

It was quickly made obvious what it was when the girl lost consciousness and the money from within fell everywhere. Chuckling some Carmen quickly scooped up the zeni and pocketed it herself, tucking the small wallet back into the girls clothes. A little stronger and a little richer Carmen was glad that Alexander had convinced her to come up here, this had worked out quite well for her.

PL please!

Tempest Rifle – Through her advanced item materialization Carmen can summon forth a sniper rifle in similar fashion to the Vulcan pistols that she normally uses. The advantage of this weapon though is the long range at which the Ki blasts from it can be accurate, capable of hitting a target from up to two miles away. In addition the highly concentrated Ki that fires from the weapon travels at a higher velocity then most Ki blasts, this heightened speed giving it the ability to cut through other Ki attacks of similar power. (Anything that the charge PL of the attack is within 80% of)

Technique approved.

Irome:

Carla dances in a seductive manner while singing a strange song. Then she blows her enemies a kiss causing a weird heart to hit them in the face. If they fall for this trick they become distracted, may forget what they are doing for one turn, and must reattempt what they were doing if they do.

Techniques approved.
