The Cats Resenting Their Lake Visit [Noir/Endolf]

As the dark haired female and the red haired boy had touched the podium they would find their bodies being moved. It felt as if they were submerged into water but it was unclear as their vision was clouded by whatever had decided to move them. The cold air feeling was gone and now it was taken over by an icy grip, the cold feeling of their bodies being dragged through a lake in the middle of the winter. It pulled and dragged their bodies around wildly as they felt the currents wrap around them doing whatever it please with their bodies. It felt erratic with no specific direction until they would start to feel themselves being pulled upward, it was slow at first but sped up until they were going incredibly fast, soon the light would flood their eyes. They were reaching their destination and would pop upward. As they shot out of the ground they would be able to look down and see that they did indeed just come from a frozen lake, they would fall onto a frozen platform where they could see the rest of the arena.

As they looked around they wold notice that there was a long expanse where it seemed that they were on a massive body of water. Under their feet was an ice plat from, and there many just like it all across the lake spread out, in order to give them room to move around the platforms were only .7m apart from one another. There was a chance that if disrupted they would move farther or closer apart. Depending on how they went about it they cold use the area to their advantage, as they looked around they would notice strange things happening too. Above their heads was a timer that counted down from 120, as it slowly ticked it would soon reach zero changing to the words round one. While the round shifted an ominous aura rolled over and on some of the  ice platforms stood cats, they weren't enemies but they stood there observing move to the outwards of the arena to watch.


OOC: There will be no time limit for this post as this is just meant to be an introduction to the area of combat helping to give you a grasp of the area you'll be fighting in. After this every round will be on a normal posting time that will not stop until a break or till the battle is over.

It was this familiar feeling again, unclear feeling where she could feel that her body being moved into somewhere foreign and also this familiar clouded vision. The black haired girl gasped and then tried to breath steadily while slowly rubbing her eyes only to see a whole different scene in front of her. It was not a familiar feeling but… when she realized it was too late and she would crash on the ground. However, her liger made a swift move and used gravity to land first before he used his body so Noir can land on him.

This dream was clearly become more absurd, this was weird and the vibe in this place was definitely not welcoming at all, it looked like an icy battleground for her. She looked around and she found her liger kept being close to her while the redhead was not that far from her. So she would move to another platform carefully so it wouldn’t disrupt so she could approach the Fanalis and asked, “Are you alright? My name is Noir, this is Haku. I hope we can survive whatever that will be coming…” She said with an emotionless face, her voice was as flat as the platform but it was not cold. The number above their head was a very strange thing to happen for her today, she never seen something like that before in her life. But whatever it was, she knew she needed to wait until she could examine it. Another strange thing was the cats that were sitting on the platform as if they just wanted to watch something. “Cats…” Noir would then reached for her wand and based on that, Haku made his offensive stance. But she didn’t intend to attack the cats, it was only for any incoming enemy…

“Haven’t they ever heard of a “soft landing” before?!”

The young Fanalis spat, both water and anger, as he stood up on the floating layer of ice he had landed on. Moments ago, seemingly just seconds after having placed his hand on the raven haired girl’s podium alongside her, he had appeared submerged in rather freezing cold waters. After several seconds of frantic thrashing it seemed that he had been caught in some sort of current, heading upwards as he rode it out he found himself flying through the air before landing on a thick patch of ice floating on the surface. Now that the Fanalis was back on his feet he ran his hand through his soaking wet hair in an attempt to get it to revert to its typical spiky appearance.

His clothes clung to him, soaked from his time under the layer of ice. Looking around he took a survey of his new surroundings. It was clear that he had appeared in some sort of frozen lake, as indicated by his appearance in the water and how he was now standing on a platform of ice. However it wasn’t a single solid platform as patches floated all around him, sitting about .7 meters apart from each other. Off on another chunk of ice was the raven haired girl and her large feline companion, the girl having started making her way towards Endolf once he had gotten his footing under him. Introducing herself as Noir and the feline as Haku she asked if he was alright before stating that she hoped they’d be able to survive whatever they’d be dealing with.

“A little roughed up but I’ll survive. The name’s Endolf and to be honest I’m not even sure what I got pulled into here to begin with.”

Was his reply. From the corner of his eye he could see something moving. Behind Noir he could see several large cats, not much larger than Haku, taking up spots on platforms around them. Noir seemed to notice as well as the word cats escaped her lips.

As the pair would scan the environment, taking in everything, their adversaries would come forth from the water. They leapt out from the water, standing in front of them they would each have to deal wither their own opponents. Standing 15m across facing the red haired boy was a large bipedal fish. Along with the legs it had strange humanesque arms, withing it's hands it held a large blue trident surpassing the actual size of the creature. The girl, who seemed stronger to the fish men, had two of them standing 15m across from her also. They stared with their large beady eyes trying to examine the people, they let out strange gurgling noises showing their mouths. They had razor sharp teeth similar to that of a piranha, and coming from their mouths was a gut-wrenching odor. While the combatants would surely be disgusted with the foul creatures the cat's stared with hungry eyes, but were patient waiting to see how they would fair against the fish.

They lurched forward towards their targets, they had examined their prey, now it was time for the hunt to begin. The one facing the warrior boy moved towards him as quickly as possible trying to get rid of the distance between them. If it managed to get close to the boy it would unleash a quick combo on him in attempt to harm him. He would try to slash the boy with his trident and then after that he would attempt to use a vicious bite, in attempt to tear into the boys shoulder and harm him. The creature would prove formidable and it would prove equally difficult for the girl. She was stronger but she had to face two enemies making things a bit more tricky.

The two across form her stood 1m apart, they would both attempt to run towards the girl in order to attack her. The one on her left, before beginning to run towards her, hurled his trident forward with great force at the girl. It whizzed through the air at her, as this happened the distance would slowly close. If they were able to engage her in close quarters combat the one on the left would use a vicious bite while the on the right would look for chance to attack.

The fighting area is is 100m long and 70m wide with a barrier allowing people to fly only up to 60m into the air and if one tries to leave they will bounce right back, taking D-tier damage.

Fishman A: Running towards End to use a basic attack and then Vicious bite
Fishman B: Used flying fish then running towards Noir
Fishman C: Running towards Noir to use a Vicious bite

Enemies:

Three splashes sounded as several objects shot through the water’s surface and interrupted the conversation Endolf and Noir were having at that moment. Instantly the Fanalis boy went for his right wrist, unpinning the chain he kept bound around it and pulling it loose. His body tense and prepared for the worse as he put his back towards Noir’s. Standing there before him was only one being and it was by far the weirdest thing he had seen so far in his life. Standing bipedal was a single fish with a trident taller than itself held firm in its hands. After a moment or two of processing what he was seeing Endolf could confirm that, yes, this was indeed a large fish with humanoid legs and arms that was capable of at least holding weaponry.

“The hell is this thing?”

He asked the question out loud as he finished uncoiling his chain to its maxim length, allowing it to pool on the ice’s surface.

“You ever seen anything like this Noir?”

Unknown to him she was dealing with not only one but two of her own behind him. Without trying to make any sudden movements he slid his foot slightly on the surface of the ice, checking it for a sense of traction and how much harder it would be for him to maneuver on it. As it turned out it wasn’t too far off from the normal ground. Small miracles he supposed. The fishman before him seemed to jolt into action, changing the position of his trident before seeming to charge in towards Endolf. The Fanalis boy decided that he couldn’t allow the oddity to attack the girl behind him if he dodged and decided to do exactly what his opponent had chosen and dashed forward himself.

His left hand shot back towards his lower back and right for the handle of his sword, removing it from the special clips that kept it held in place. The fishman swung his trident first, seeming to try and slash the boy with the sharpened tips of its trident. The redhead brought his sword up in a backhanded grip to block the sweeping weapon and knock it away. Although in his carelessness Endolf found that he had given the fish creature the perfect chance to lean in and bite down on his now exposed shoulder, the Fanalis gritting his teeth as the razor sharp teeth of the walking oddity sunk into his flesh. But the boy decided that he could handle the pain because it offered him an even better opening to retaliate with. Clenching his right fist tight he threw a right hook into the fishman, his Fanalis strength being put to work.

The moment Endolf put his back towards Noir’s, the black haired girl knew she could trust this man to watch her back and would do the same for him as well. “Yes, I have seen something like this.” She answered quickly, recalled the time when she fought those monsters from that mysterious island, something that she never imagined to see before. Those dungeon creatures were the same thing as well, it was not something that was common to be seen; so things like this was not a new experience for her. Her liger that was standing beside her began to roar as if it he was rolling the war drum for both the Fanalis and the female magician. “Mr. Endolf, I have knowledge to perform magic and also a beast tamer…perhaps that information could help us in the battle.” The girl lifted up her wand and pointed it forwards to prepare for the incoming attack. However, instead of using her magic for now, she would command her liger to burp towards the fishman B, letting out a gaseous wave to clash with the trident and to attack the fishman C before it can attack her.

Haku would then waited until the fishman B came close to him as he stepped up around 50cm from Noir and then the liger would use his claw to scratch the creature. “Also… I prefer for us to communicate with each other.” She said with a determined gaze and serious tone.

Magoi : 290/300
OOC:
-Using Gaseous heat wave to clash with the flying fish and attack fishman C
-Using basic attack for the fishman B

Ability Used:

As they boy had managed to block the fishmans attack it was surprised to see when he had counterattacked. It lost it's balanced when he pushed it back allowing the redheads attack to connect. The force of the punch slammed into his head, it crack it's skull damaging the brain. It instantly fell over to the ground, blood pouring out it's head and mouth, pooling around it's body. The boy had managed to take out his opponent so he would have the chance to assist his partner with her combat if he chose to. He would see that this might not be necessary. It would appear that she was capable of protecting herself from the pair of walking fish.

The wave of heat collided with the spear causing the speed of it to slow it down before falling. As it had clashed Fishman B had been protected from the part of the attack that was coming towards him, his partner was not so lucky. The wave of heat had managed to overcome him before he was able to get close enough to attack. The body of the fish was slowly burning away from the heat of the wave, it glubbed out in agony as it would slowly die in front of the girl. In order to avenge his partner it would continue running towards the girl, if it managed to get close enough it would use vicious bite.

Fishman A:Dead
Fishman B: Using vicious bite on Noir when close enough
Fishman C: Dead

Enemies:

The girl could feel it, the Fanalis had managed to defeat his enemy. It was definitely a fine choice to let him guarding her back, so it was time to pay him back by guarding his back also. One of her enemy had successfully defeated but another one was clever enough to continue the attack, it moved towards her as if it wanted to avenge its comrade. But no, there was no way she would let it to come closer as it definitely had hostile intention within them. So while still being in the offensive stance, Noir commanded Haku to sustain his Gaseous Heat wave again and the beasts burped again to produce it towards the fishman before it can attack them with vicious bite. Right after that, if the fishman was still alive and both abilities clashed, Haku would leap and used his claw to deal some damage before rolling backwards to stay close with Noir.

Magoi : 280/300

Sustained:

Endolf could feel the sharpened teeth of the fishman releasing his shoulder as it sunk to the platform, dead. The impact of the Fanalis boy’s fist against the oddity’s head killed it instantly. His foe taken care of Endolf turned his attention back to his partner and her feline companion, watching as they felled one of their foes as well. One fishman remained, moving to attack her the same way Endolf’s had attacked him. Moving to assist her himself the Fanalis moved his sword over to his right hand, freeing his gauntlet for use and allowing him to point his open palm at the remaining fishman. The magic symbol began to glow as a jet of water shot out from it and aimed at the fishman’s head, forming into a whip of water.

Stamina/Magoi: 114/124
Clashing against remaining Fishman with Water Whip

Hand of the Stream/Water Whip:

As the pet let out another wave of heat it would travel and consume the fish causing him to die from the heat. The fish gave off a rotting smell as their bodies sat there for a moment. The cats that sat on the sidelines stared at the fish, they would hop down and walk over to drag the corpses away. While the cats would enjoy their meal the timer above would switch to the words round 2 signifying that they would be moving on. As the it changed more fish men would appear from the water, this time there would be two of the normal fishmen and a strange green one with no weapon. The two normal ones stood 15m in front of Noir standing about about 2m from one another. The green one would stand 15 across from Endolf, the enemies would stand there waiting to see how they would react before planning to move.

Fishmen: 2m apart and 15m across from  Noir
Sickly Fish: 15m across from End.

Enemies:

The black haired magician stared as the cat dragging the corpses of the fishmen, wondering if they would be okay to eat something like that. But she had something more important to worry for instead of worrying those cats stomach condition after eating those dead fish, hoping that her liger wouldn’t copy the act. While still pressing her back with the Fanalis and sharing the platforms, Noir would say, “It was a nice fight, Mr. Endolf.” She praised her, but then started to focus on the new enemies that showed up for them at the moment. It looked like they would be fighting with a lot of fishes today, and she noticed the number changing on the strange machine above them. However, she assumed that it had nothing to do with the fight anyway and stared at the fishmen who were close to her. After motioning Haku to assist Endolf if needed, Noir would throw her shuriken of storms to create a whirlwind of lightning and wind towards the fishmen in front of her, attempting to defeat them at once.


Magoi : 260/300

Abilities:

As Endolf turned around to strike the last remaining fishman, ready to launch the whip from his gauntlet at its face, he watched as Haku let out a large belch that killed it. No doubt from the combination of the smell and heat of the burst of air from the large feline’s mouth. Before he could take the moment to step back and adjust himself he felt Noir’s back pressing up against his chest, the contact bringing a blush to the boy’s face as she complimented him on the fight as the large cats from around the edge of the lake moved in and pulled away the large man-fish. With another set of splashes, more of them shot up from the frozen lake, two more in front of Noir while from behind him Endolf could hear a third landing on one of the floating sheets of ice.

Backing away from Noir he turned about face once again to find what he could only describe as a rather ill looking fishman staring him down. He wasn’t overly positive about what he should do in response but so far they hadn’t been anything but hostile to the duo. Keeping his guard up the Fanalis raised his sword, waiting for the bipedal fish to make the first move so that he could counter it and retaliate properly.

Magoi/Stamina: 124/124

The shurkien would fly towards the fish standing in front of the girl, the storm it creating flying towards the fish to kill them. The storm overwhelmed them, it would consume them, the winds tearing up their flesh and the lighting searing their wounds. As they were torn apart the other fish would watch in horror. It would be unable to react at the moment in fear giving the boy with the red hair a chance to attack him.. This would be his only chance most likely at the moment, it's focus was completely gone so it would be the perfect chance to one hit the enemy.

Fishmen: dead
Sickly Fish: 15m across from End, frozen in fear

Enemies:

From behind him Endolf could hear what could only be described as a literal storm of thunder and lightning and harsh winds. But the Fanalis didn’t dare to look behind him when he had his own target in front of him. From what he could see, the ill looking fishman before him was able to see what was going on behind him with Noir and the fishmen that she was dealing with herself. End could only guess that it hadn’t been a pleasant sight as it seemed to stand there in pure terror at what it had just witnessed.

Taking the opportunity the Fanalis boy went on the offensive once more, balling his right hand into a solid mass of fist as he jolted forward, delivering yet another punch to the head of another fishman.

Magoi/Stamina 124/124

Basic attack vs Sick fishman

The black haired girl watched as her enemies being cut into pieces by her shuriken, then when the magic tool went back to her, she caught it and waited. She didn't dare to look back to see how her companion was doing at the moment simply because there might be more enemy and at least she needed to protect Endolf's back. Noir didnt hear any sound from her behind and guessing that Endolf's enemy was not moving. It made her wondered what happened behind her since it was a strange thing to be happened. However, the moment she felt the Fanalis back was not pressed against her, Noir stayed still. She guessed that Endolf had made his way to attack whatever enemy that he had at the moment, hoping that her guess was right because he might be dead and being pulled by the enemy now since the Fanalis didnt say a word since the battle began. But Haku had not reacted yet, so probably the latter guess was wrong. She hoped so...


Magoi : 260/300

The fishes head would cave in under the force of the punch, it's skull cracking puncturing it's brain. It's body would collapse and would begin to ooze from the mouth. The cats would once again appear to take the corpses of the deceased enemies, taking them back to their places of feeding. More sickly fish would appear from the water as the second round had been completed, two 12m behind Noir and 2m apart from one another. The third fish would be 10m to the left of Endolf, it stared at him with it's sickly eyes, seeing him as prey. The fish wouldn't attack but they would observe their targets precisely.

Sickly Fish A and B: 2m apart 12m behind Noir
Sickly Fish C: 10m to the left of Endolf

enemies:

Knowing that the battle was far from the end, Noir kept her guard up by staring at the nothingness in front of her and let Haku to looked around. The liger growled as soon as he felt more enemies coming, his nose could smell a sickly odor that came from behind him and his master. Without warning, the liger dashed towards the sickly fish (A) and used his claw to shred the fish before jumping backwards and ran towards sickly fish (B) to use his other claw to deal some damage. Noir knew she could trust Haku, so the black haired girl stayed still and waited until the time for her to assist her liger come.

Endolf was starting to get a bit annoyed now that another ill looking fish creature appeared before him. Having adjusted himself so that he could face the fish that appeared to his left that way he wasn’t getting caught on his blindside. Not only did it seem like now he was only being stuck with one sickly foe after another but he was also only getting stuck with a single opponent at a time compared to the two splashes he’d continue to hear from behind him every time Noir’s challengers appeared. Sure he was alright with a quick win here and there was pretty nice but after so many one-shot wins a guy could start wanting a bit more of a challenge. But for now he supposed he’d simply make do with beating the opponent in front of him to fish paste. Or maybe fish oil.
Deciding that he was going to finally start breaking out the more entertaining tactics the magic symbol on the palm of his gauntlet began to glow that oceanic blue color it tended to right before the whip of water formed. With it he lashed out at the fishman.

Magoi/Stamina: 114/124

Hand of the Stream/Whip of Water:

Their torrent of attacks would manage to finish of the wave of enemies, they were killed flawlessly allowing them to move on. With that the fourth round wuld begin, their bodies feeling refreshed for some reason, it was like a gentle cloak of heat rested upon them. With this new found energy up ahead they would see this time there would be four sickly fish. They were trying to make things more difficult for the team, and numbers was one sure way to do it. Two of the fish would stand 2m apart and 13m to the left of Noir, another would stand 12m to the right of Haku. And the last would be facing Endolf, charging towards him from his left side stating at 15m away.

enemies:

It seemed that the battle was far from ending as more enemies showed up to where Noir and Endolf were at the moment. It was quiet amusing to see those fishes kept coming here even though their worst predator was present and waited until they were able to take their rotten corpse so the cats could eat them. Noir didn’t mind to keep finishing those fish since the cats were being pretty helpful by continuing to clean up the battleground from those dead fishes lying around. She noticed one appeared to the right of Haku, 12 meters away from the liger as another two appeared in front of her as well and being 13 meters away while they had 2 meters gap between themselves. At first she wanted to finish all of them at once however it was not a nice thing to do since Noir could shot a friendly fire accidentally towards Haku and perhaps towards Endolf as well. She hoped that Endolf would still able to fight, but she wouldn’t mind to take on his enemy as well in case he needed to rest for a little bit and vice versa.

The liger would growl towards the sickly fish C and shot a hot spit ball to burn the fish quickly before he used his 25m/s doubled speed, not wasting time to dash towards the sickly fish D in a short time. The liger used his Blazing ball attack to deal some hot damage for the sickly fish D and dashed again to his previous spot to focus on his own enemy. Meanwhile, Noir focused on her own enemies and facing them while pointing her wand towards them. After whispering to the rukh, the black haired girl cast Onda D’urto to Sickly fish A and Sickly fish B. Noir would then stayed close to Endolf by pressing her back against the Fanalis again while looking to the left just in case she needed to deal another attack.

The whip smacked the fishman in a rather violent manner, causing the poor creature’s death just as instantly as the ones before where End had crushed their skulls with his bare fist. He paused for a moment and wondered how that song went. Something like, “another one bites the dust”? Shrugging it off it didn’t seem like that much of an important issue at the moment. The water from his left hand trickled away like a stream running dry until his hand was once again empty and the magic symbol in the palm was no longer glowing. With another splash out came yet another fishman to his left. However this one seemed to be the most impatient one he had the chance to deal with since the first one he allowed to bite him as it came charging right for him. Getting into a standing position he readied his Resentment in his right hand, waiting for the perfect moment to counter attack.

Magoi/Stamina: 124/124

Fish C would find it's self consumed by the fiery spit killing it when it struck the fish, and then there were the others. A and B would find themselves consumed in the static field in which they were killed with ease, but there was one more fish left. Fish D was not going down without a fight by the looks of it he would clash the Blazing ball with a Sickly spit. He would continue his charge towards the boy and use a sickly bite once the boy was within biting distance. They would have to use their teamwork to over power this specific fish.

enemies:

The redheaded boy found his chance in the form of the fish’s maw opening wide, ready to bite down on the boy as it charged towards him, but it was nothing that a simple dodge to the side couldn’t contend with. In one swift moment Endolf had skirted around to the fishman’s back, sword poised at the ready before thrusting the twin pointed prongs at the blade’s end towards what would be the back of the creature’s head in an attempt to force it out through the wide and gaping mouth of his opponent. For added measure his empty hand followed up with yet another skull-shattering punch.

Magoi/Stamina: 104/124

DODGE!:

Noir kept focusing her gaze towards the enemies that she defeated, knowing that her spell was enough to finish those fish and that her liger was capable to deal his own enemy. His natural instinct and personality didn't differ from his race heritage, he was no different compared to a lion who were living in the wild but probably Haku was more intelligence as Noir gave him some thing for him to learn so he would be able to choose his enemies. But it seemed that Endolf needed to deal with his own enemy and Noir knew better that she shouldnt interrupt the Fanalis unless he was asking for help. For now she was just going to let the Fanalis to do whatever he could to defeat the enemy, she couldnt wait for it to be more interesting.

The fourth round would end as the had managed to finish off the fish, the blade of the male warrior piercing through it's flesh. They had managed to finish their first few waves, but now at the half way pint they would be moving onto a bigger and badder enemy. Popping up just 15m behind Noir was a massive fish man, in it's right hand it carried a trident and in it's left it carried a hook. This creature was definitely something to be wary of, it seemed superior to the others. There was no telling what sort of tricks the large fish would pull out of his bag.
