When the projectile spun towards Ariyoul, he braced himself physically as he swung himself to the side to avoid it. To his dismay, his rhythm was flawed: as a result, his sleeve was promptly slashed through. Though he was far more regretful that his precious article had been cut through painlessly, he had the grace to feel grateful he himself had escaped unharmed. Grumbling to himself, "I actually liked this freaking jacket, dammit," he began to piece together whatever amount of clues he had gathered to conclude the identity his adversary. As he happened upon the flicker of an inklet that was Tansen, it began to make sense to him, and his chuckle sounded like a strangled one.
His cold eyes caught a winged movement behind a pillar. Had Tansen fled back there? His mind snapped from relaxed to combat, his impulses and pure instincts became his prioritized reactions towards everything. He unleashed another bolt of Exaclibur at the pillar's base, working to crumble it down to rubble. All he needed now was the fleeting figure; in turn, he could launch another attack.
s**t, was the single word that relayed relentlessly in his mind. Ariyoul's Stats HP: 5000/5000 EP: 5/10 Excalibur [6/8] Ovis [8/8] Lightning Rook [4/4] Lightning Pawn [4/4] Her Royal Highness [n/a] Pegaso [n/a]

He felt it before it even made contact. Just as the bolt crashed explosively with the cement pillar, Tansen began to formulate his plan. He had a general idea of how he could get the upper hand.
Heh, the kid's got potential.Dashing out from behind the falling pillar, Tansen launched his own Excalibur bolt in return before toppling off the stage, out of Ariyoul's line of fire. Above, the ceiling creaked as it sagged over where the support beam once stood. Sitting up, he rests his back against the stage, gears turning. Best if he waited for Ariyoul to make the next move. After all, he had to conserve his energy.Tansen's Stats HP: 5000/5000 EP: 6/10 Pegaso Bishop [3/4] Lightning Rook [4/4] Lightning Rook [4/4] Excalibur [7/8] Her Royal Highness [n/a] Pegaso [n/a]

Without a doubt, Tansen had expelled a bolt of lightning towards the ceiling.
Ariyoul sensed the ceiling crumbling, and smiled without humor. If he was to be dancing in and out of the battle like this, was there more than a single purpose than to destroy the whole building when the two of them were fated to be buried alive under the debris? Being frank with himself, as well as rational, if either one of them kept abstaining each other's palpable barrage of attacks, then how prolonged will their waltz continue until their stage finally shattered?
He sighed with frustration as he took a leap for the ground - he did not like getting worn out. Once he had landed on his shoulder, Ariyoul ceased movement, attempting to stall his hot, bloody heart - if Tansen was holding himself back, lying in wait for him to panic, to lose control, then the blind male was going to erase him. In all his life, he apprehended the first rule to never panic. His hues observed the ceiling, then alternated between alarm for danger and Tansen.
He contemplated the stage, preparing himself for abrupt mental inspirations. He roughly pulled himself up on the railings nearby, assuring himself this was first and foremost the most palpable idea to go along with - and as far as he knew, the pillars nearby will support the quaking ceiling. He swept the hair out of his face, firing another Excalibur at the ceiling, trying to search for a light bulb - it was a concert stage, wasn't it? If this worked out the way he was thinking...

The echoes dissipated as the ceiling continued to crumble. With the open space, he could finally pinpoint his target better. But that wasn't quite enough for now. Sticking to his spot, he hears another bolt weaken the ceiling. What was he doing? It seemed like a waste of energy to him. Unless he had an ulterior motive.
The lights. It was obvious and almost embarrassing that it hadn't occurred to him earlier. Either way it was all in vain as the lights were suspended by a separate overhand above the stage. But it never hurt to even the playing field. Reaching up, Tansen gripped the extension of the stage that ran up to the first set of spotlights, releasing the energy from a Lightning Rook pin. The lights blinked rapidly for a few times before coming on, focusing light on center stage.
The sun set and the solar light dimmed, only visible by the thin streak of light that appeared near the top of the far wall. It was getting late...

The unexpected blossoming of bright light blinded Ariyoul for a few rapidly-flying moments before he returned to his sober senses. He noticed Tansen had assisted him in lighting up the stage. Interesting...
Following Tansen's blind gaze, he scrutinized the crack in the door and saw the sunlight dimming. One couldn't help but also feel the dimming of one's spirits as the sun shimmered away into the nothing it originated from... Though the sunlight may now be fleeting against time to vanish, with the newly-acquired light, he could comprehend Tansen clearly behind the pillar, and fired the pillar he was concealed behind. If Tansen kept hiding behind pillars, and he shot them all down, then he would have no other hiding place to be safe behind, though even to him, that plan seemed to be far too close-minded, or strictly, "tunnel vision."

His hiding had certainly brought about some fruits. It had drawn out his opponent and had given him a chance to reduce the echo of the hall by blowing the top off the building. In his mind's eye, the frequency of Ariyoul became much clearer, almost as if he could see. But better.
Ah, there we go. Time to up the tempo...
Rolling out, he launches two simultaneous bolt from his two Lightning Rook pins at Ariyoul. Just as quickly as he went out into the open, he scrambled under the stage.

Dammit, he didn't notice the lightning bolts fast enough. He ducked desperately, trying to avoid the bolts when one skittered across his invurnerable neck. Mm, no damage... Yet. "Ugh," he muttered as he noticed Tansen retreat under the stage and gritted his teeth. Dammit, his agile oppenent always managed to hide before he had the chance... Mm, what if he went down there as well? He unintentionally tripped over some debris, and he slid across the ground. Freak. Right when he needed some speed and balance. He launched another Exaclibur as he fell toward the darkened spot.

Tansen cringed as the Excalibur bolt flew by and hit the far wall. He knew it was going to miss, but in the midst of combat, who knew what was going to happen. And it was no time to relax. If he hadn't trip, he might have sustained some damage had the bolt made it's way through the stages framework.
Either way, there was an opening.
Dashing out of the safety of the stage, he went out into the open yet again. Arms extended, Tansen launched his familiar twin bolts. The blue lightning surged through the air at the rock that covered toppled opponent. The first made contact with the rock, shattering it. But with the dust cover that shot up from the disintegration of the shield, what happened to the second bolt?

Dust made way into his lungs, and while he choked, he searched weakly for the other bolt. Tansen shot two, hadn't he? He felt compelled to use the last of his Excalibur and let loose the last three jolts of electricity. Wincing, he climbed the wires that hung from the ceiling. Ariyoul noticed Tansen was still in plain sight... but decided against attacking. If the blind boy sensed his attack he was going to dodge it somehow anyway, even if he used one of his very-difficult-to-avoid pins. He hated retreating like this. Something burned across his jacket sleeve--again?!--and he saw that the Lightning Rook had somehow probably bounced against the wall to him. Had that happened with him before? No matter... Night was falling...

(I'm going to assume the second bolt hit)
Just slightly under 120 bpm. It need it to go faster than this...
Out of the blue Tansen felt the familiar surge of electricity fly at him. Wait, it wasn't just one bolt. Three? This kid really was something if he was able to aim properly under the circumstances. Ducking down, he continued walking forward as if nothing was happening, the electricity cackling as it surged over his hair.
Then the smell of nitrogen burning filled his nose as he saw a flash of blue at his side. One of the Excalibur bolts clipped his left arm. But he could barely feel the damage as the electricity touched down and the tingling sensation died away, his body slightly numb. Tansen flexed his fingers in his left arm, testing for any problems. It was well. One of the perks of already being dead...
We've finally left the Andante. Time for the Vivace movement...
Without pausing, he brought one arm back as if tossing a javelin. As if throwing the bolt himself, he swung his arm forward as he let loose an Excalibur bolt of his own, targeting where the wires were anchored on the ceiling's frame.

The Excalibur struck directly at his right shoulder, and dammit that boy could aim. He rolled his shoulder around a bit, making sure it was okay. Ariyoul decided to rest that arm; he just hoped he could use his left arm. Dammit, I can't use luck in this hell of a battle, he thought, locking his left shoulder back. Ariyoul agilely leapt to the opposite of the concert stage, giving a shout directly before bouncing. As if tossing a boomerang, he threw a Lightning Pawn and watched the spark swirl toward Tansen.

It was a sort of bittersweet moment. He hadn't aimed at Ariyoul, but he still was able to hit him. And the situation left his foe a bit frantic. As he spanned the distance of the stage and let of a slow ball of electricity.
Stepping to the side, Tansen expected it dissipate once it touched the ground. Instead, the ball swerved, realigning it's path with him. And it was picking up speed.
s**t, this is going to be a pain...
Running haphazardly backwards, he raised his right hand. Just as he was due to release a bolt, he found himself on the ground, the pillar behind him... gone. Well, a section. The rest remained attached to the ceiling, which sagged dangerously over Tansen's head.

Mm... Set himself up perfectly, like a sweet game of cat and mouse. Of course... he knew who the mouse was. Confidently, he threw another Lightning Pawn toward Tansen, watching the sphere crackle with electricity. He simpered with amusement. This was definitely one of his favorite pins. With a shrug he gravely tossed a Lightning Rook at the remaining adhered parts of the ceiling, and coldly watched the pillar fall.
