The chain was ripped from Niflhel's hand, "s**t..." he felt the handle of his weapon yanked out of his hand. He watched Camelot as he turned to smack the thing. The other managed a blow, Niflhel took his chance to try to kick the thing in the head.
He was aiming to get his chain back mostly and if he caused some bleeding in the process it'd be nice. It was harder when the target was short and stumpy. It wasn't something he could just play punching bag with, perhaps this was part of the down side of having just kick box training.
"Tell me do you have any sort of fighting experience?" He asked Camelot as he tried to catch the chain the monster was now flailing around. If he could just get it wrap around his arm without breaking it.

The youma was not pleased that these two jerks were trying to hurt it. Succeeding to, in fact. It spat the untasty chain from its mouth and bared its small, but razor sharp, teeth at them angrily. Its main form of defense was its stench and the gas its tail produced, but it was more than willing to bite them if it needed to.
And it was beginning to realize it needed to.
It snapped at Niflhel's foot, swinging its head around and just missing after being kicked in the head. Camelot noticed this and looked relieved and worried at once. He didn't want either of them getting bitten, if they could avoid it. It was bad enough that he could barely breathe due to the smell clinging to him.
He looked at the other knight, nodding his head. Well, that was kind of true. He had certainly been in fights before, but whether he could call himself experienced was another matter. The word seemed to imply formal training of some sort, which Camelot certainly did not have.
"I'll distract it," he offered, charging to slam the broadside of his shield into the youma's face, hoping to shove it backwards and give Niflhel a chance to get his chain back.

Niflhel jumped back when the monster tried to bite him. He frowned heavily this wasn't going to be fun. He nodded when the other said he'd distract it. Running for his chain and grabbing it when the other slammed the broadside of his shield into the youma's face.
Niflhel took that chance to aim the chain at the monster's tail, hoping to latch onto it. If he could catch it they could managed to get this fight on the home turf. "We'll get you some training if you want it later." He called hoping not to get dragged.

Camelot laughed at that, though he certainly did not mind the offer. He needed all the help he could get, and training might be the next proper step. It was not difficult for him to bend to those who knew more than he did, even if they were younger. That was usually the case these days, anyway.
But his paternal, protective instincts still drove him.
When Niflhel managed to get the youma by the tail, Camelot took a step back. The youma froze in its tracks, immobilized by the sudden, shooting pain through it's overly sensitive tail. It couldn't move, Camelot realized, when someone or something was pulling its tail.
Good.
"Keep a strong hold of it!" The Knight yelled, hoping the chain wouldn't break as he lunged forward to try and destroy the youma before it snapped itself out of its trance and attacked them both. He smashed his shield against its head, the shield splintering. It always broke, Camelot noticed, when he was using it this offensively. But he didn't have much choice in the matter.
Still, something about attacking with it was wrong, and the shield itself seemed to know that.
The youma protested and bucked, trying to free itself but not succeeding. Tony's attacks coupled with its weakness being exploited by Niflhel managed to destroy it, and it burst into dust.

Niflhel nodded. He kept the chain tight as possible on the youma. "As long as it doesn't try to buck me." He replied, watching Camelot attack with his shield. He frowned slightly feeling bad for the shield itself, something used to protect being used to beaten a monster, when the monster burst into dust he tumbled backwards.
Getting up he dusted off his pants, "Hm... I think you'd benefit from learning how to improvise." He wrapped up his chain and placed it back on his belt. Looking around curiously.

Camelot took a breath once the dust was settled, shaking his head. He looked at the other Knight and laughed at his words. He was sure he could use some more practice in improvisation, though as a civilian he had often had to grab whatever was closest to him in order to protect himself or those around him.
He sighed, relieved, looking around at Niflhel.
"You're probably right," he said, shaking his head. He laughed a bit, though it was mostly relief. He looked at the splintered shield, a piece of it falling off the attachment to his arm. He sighed. It would be fine the next time he needed to use it, but for now it was useless.
So long as he didn't run into another youma before powering down...
"Well, at least we killed it," he laughed. "You managed to do much better than me, at least. Good job getting its weakness with that chain." He chuckled, nodding his head. He was always in a good mood after not dying, after all.

Niflhel chuckled, "Personally as long as Sailor Polaris isn't around I like to find metal Trashcan Lids. They're nice and sturdy for hitting and most of the time people don't miss them too much." He paused, "Then you could use your shield for protecting."
He smiled and nodded, "Indeed, and I think that's debatable. It was fool's luck it stayed tied long enough to dust the thing." He looked at the chain however he didn't discount fools luck as being a good job. "It's unfortunate we end up with just normal weapons and the Senshi have magic, but for every down point, there's a good one. However, despite all that you did a good job not panicking and helping defeat the monster." Niflhel gave Tony a thumbs up.
He then seemed to think, and after a few minutes there was a light bulb so to speak. "There's a gym down the street, you should check out, they have kickboxing lessons. It might be helpful for you, unless you'd rather Karate or something, then there's a Dojo across town." He pointed in another direction. "It might be something worth you looking into if you want to train." Niflhel gave a nod.

"Oh! I've used one of those before," Camelot laughed. He nodded his head at the choice. He had run into a youma, a rather terrifying one he had to admit, before he was Camelot. He had his cane and the trashcan lid as his defense, and he had managed to kill the thing with them. It had been a bit of an effort though, mostly involving wild flailing and hitting it as hard as he could.
But it worked, at least.
"Fool's luck or not, the thing is dead and I think that's a very important fact to consider." He laughed again, feeling very relaxed now that the fight had finished and they were no longer bathed in that horrid gas. Though, the scent was clinging to his clothes. He hoped it would be gone the next time he powered up.
"I agree. As long as you can make it work, and people don't get hurt in the process, there's always a way to stop a fight. With youma it requires force, but there are other ways."
He considered the gym, which he had been telling himself for years that he would start going to, and nodded his head.
"I think that's a good idea. Especially with all you young people running around." He had to keep up somehow.

Niflhel nodded, "It's a favorite of mine too. Just if you ever meet Polaris you may want to make sure you have as little metal in your possession as possible because her attack collects and sends metal at her target."
He smiled, "I would assume so," he wrinkled his nose, "now the question is how long will it take the smell to leave our noses and skin." He sighed, "I hope I have enough tomato juice for a bath."
Niflhel gave another nod, "True, it's easier to kick it than to run from it anyways. Unless you're trapped in an ally with a stink bomb." He was laughing at his own joke.
"Ah you're find for your age. Still good and strong, a little training will help hone those skills though. They come in handy for more than just this war too." He smiled, "If you ever get mugged they're not normally expecting someone to be able to kick their a**."

Camelot nodded his head. He would have to remember that, though he ran into many senshi, and sometimes didn't even manage to get their names. Of course, this time he knew what attack to expect.
Always good to know friends and enemies, he imagined.
He sighed, looking at his outfit. Everything looked fine, no scuffs or real dirt as evidence of their ordeal, but the scent remained. He did not want to take it home with him, but he would have to. He'd jump into the shower as soon as possible, and see what he could do to rid himself of the lingering odor.
"That's also true. I often said I was mugged, when really I ran into monsters. Before all this, I mean. I have more experience fighting than I really credit. Ah. Well. I'll look into picking up a class or two. For now, I think I'm going to go home and... get this smell off me."
He sighed.

Niflhel chuckled, "It's all about the story." He gave a wink, "Some time's it's easier to tell them there was a mugging than oh yeah I ran into a monster."
he shook his head, "Yeah this smell has got to go. I have a feeling I'm going to steall all of the tomato juice in the house where I live and hope no one misses it." He shook his head and with a wave, he started walking off pausing to call "I'll see you later Camelot."

Camelot laughed, nodding his head. He was definitely familiar with that. He smiled at Niflhel and bowed a bit, often having little moments of Knighthood-ness whenever he was powered up. It wasn't anything to do with his new status, just the simple fact that he was living a dream.
He looked like a knight, and sometimes he needed to act like one.
"See you again, Niflhel," he said, and he hoped he did. It would be interesting to see, and nice to keep in touch with knights he knew. And more than that, he felt like he could learn from Niflhel. It was always beneficial to keep those with different skills and knowledge nearby.
Once again sparking the idea in him to follow the lead of that which he was named for, and create a Round Table of sorts for himself. Or rather, for Destiny City.
For now, though, it was bath time.
