Welcome to Gaia! ::

R.E.D. actually slept through the whole night, what a surprise. When she woke up the first thing she did was stuff her face with the food that had been laid out on the table for the members. She didn't know when she was going to see food again so she ate as much as she could. The female was ignoring the announcements until her name was called. Apparently, Lucas thought it was a glorious idea to have her battle Laxion. Her red eyes drifted over to the male as she wiped her face of an remaining food and gave another bow of repeat.

The albino made her way to the other end without questions or hesitation. She wasn't even surprised that she had to go up against of of her own team members. She brought her guns, Yin and Yang, together. They clicked into place and a small blade that was concealed protruded out of its hiding place. Close range combat was the best alternative for this battle, plus she would be able to calculate his fighting style more accurately from up close.

She waited calmly for the signal to start. She wanted Lexion to make his move first.

R.E.D.'s expression remained concentrated on Lexion. One she heard his weapon click she knew something was flying towards her. The albino lifted her blade letting the bullets ricochet of the thin metal blade. The blade was actually made out of strong material, Mythril Diamond, a very rare material indeed. The old blind man she lived with for a year gave it to her and told her to do amazing things with it. When she was accepted to the Hope Academy she forged her weapon in his honor because he happened to pass away right as she was accepted.

She closed her red fluorescent eyes for a second and when she opened them she charged at then male. Once she was near him she slashed vertically hoping to at least nick his arm. Minor damage was better than none. However, when she did attack she looked straight into his eyes. She wanted to see how he reacts to a head on attack.

Their weapons clashed with a sound that echoed through the arena area. He seemed surprised by her, but why was that? He came from a prestigious academy and probably knows more combat knowledge than she ever could. Even though she used all her strength to force her weapon on his, she was still pushed back. She jumped back to give herself more distance, in case he tried a quick attack.

He began to twirl his weapon like he was in a beautiful dance. It was almost hypnotizing that way he handled the spear so freely. This was not enough to keep the girl from invading his space though. Being told that your a machine, you start to believe. The albino lowered her weapon and began to walk forward. She was in the flying spear's territory now and beginning to receive tons of cuts and scratches. She continued forward acting as if she felt nothing at all. This was insane, but she only did it to get close to her opponent. The female stumbled forward a couple times before getting as close as she could to Lexion. She pulled the guns apart, letting the blade reconceal itself, and fired at point blank range.

The albino bullets were canceled out. if they weren't the male would either be on the ground dead or seriously injured. When she was being cut and scratched no blood was draw so it must be from the spell cast on them. The female was ready to shoot again when her guns went hit out of the way by Laxion and spun to one side of the arena. He was able to prevent her from attacking once more and distancing himself.

Before R.E.D. could reach him, he decided to fall over the edge while hanging onto his weapon. The spear head wasn't far from her and she could see the metallic rope. She stood a couple of steps towards his weapon and stopped. If she pulled hard enough she could force the spear head out of the ground and send Laxion to his doom. Another option was to go straight for her weapon, but instead she just stood there. She closed her eyes and listened.

Either Laxion was giving up or he was waiting for the right moment to strike. He was truly amazing. She knew he could beat her with one swing of his spear. He handled his weapon so fluently while she just swung hers around.

R.E.D. waited a few more seconds, but she never heard his feet touch the ground. Her red eyes opened and searched for the figure, but it was to late. He used air magic to his advantage by gliding him upwards and in a powerful attack. The girl's first reaction was to cover her face. The gust of wind was so intense that it actually penetrated the armor on her arms making small cracks throughout. As for her clothes they began to rip and tear, and more cuts, deeper cuts, formed on her exposed skin. However, Lucas's spell did lessen the impact but not by much.

She was able to keep her stance up for a few seconds, but sense she had little time to prepare for that stance she was easy knocked over. The wind propelled her backwards. The female hit the ground hard and then rolled to a stop. Luckily, she ended up next to her weapon, but even that wouldn't be enough. He was advancing towards her to quickly to make an attack. She grabbed her weapon and placed the guns together revealing the blade. She held it out in from of her waiting for his to clash with it.

He was more powerful than she predicted, but she was able to hold him resist him somewhat only to have him counter attack. Before she could even blink the male was behind her with the metallic rope wrapped around her blade. The rope was made of strong material because she couldn't even make a small cut in it no matter how hard she pushed. She knew she would have to ditch her weapon and resort to her fist. This was a huge risk because it didn't matter if she struck him or not, he will still have his blade in hand to strike her down.

She exhaled slowly and without hesitation she released her weapon. She locked her hands into fist, turned, and aimed for his face with her right fist. Obviously, her weapon was sent flying or still dangling by the rope.

She heard Lucas speak, but ignored his comment. At the moment, he was just a distraction. The only person she had to focus on was Laxion.
