Euclase took a moment to gather herself, knowing that this was not going to be an easy challenge. But she was up to it. She wanted to prove to Mica she had what it took to be a proper fighter. Gritting her teeth, she thought of how best to go about this.
Moving forward swiftly, she reached out with her left hand, grabbing the shaft of the spear right behind the spearhead, she allowed her body to continue moving behind Mica, pulling the spear along with her, her right arm coming up to elbow Mica roughly in the crux of her elbow, hoping to force it to spasm and dislodge from the spear. She continued the motion of her elbow into a backhanded fist into the side of Mica's head, all the while her left hand pulled roughly on the spear, hoping to over extend Mica's other limb and force her to release the weapon.
It wasn't the best maneuver to the be sure, it left her open to a knee in the back if she didn't succeed in any of her steps. But it was a risk she had to take to get the weapon away from Mica.
After all - fighting was about risk and reward right?

Mica was expecting Euclase to simply bull rush forward and trying to knock it from her hands with her fists and legs, but this was unexpected. While it didn't show on her cold exterior, Mica was nevertheless taken back by Euclase's approach, not just for how effective it almost was on the first try, but the thought put behind it. Nothing at all like the straight-forward Senshi that she agreed to take under her wing.
She kept her feet planted firmly in the ground, and she paid for it when the spear was pulled at such an extreme angle that it caused the captain pain. She grit her teeth but refused to let go so easily, countering the incoming fist aimed at the head by dropping to her one knee. It made the pain worse, but she was certain that it wouldn't have been as painful as the blow to the head would have been.
All the while, even as she admired Euclase's well thought out and well executed plan, she was trying to control her instincts to follow up and seriously wound the senshi. It was hard to fight back such an impulse, and if this was any other Senshi or Page that tried to do this they would have been immediately skewered, but Mica had to remind herself that this was Euclase, an ally and friend.
She could almost hear the hilt wanting to snap from both of their grips, but Mica pushed on. She flung the weapon's hilt onto her shoulder and tried to thrust it forward, hoping that the momentum would carry Euclase up and over and force her grip from the weapon. It hurt to do this, but Mica refused to give in, even for a second. Euclase would have to try harder!

Euclase hadn't really put too much hope in succeeding on her first attempt. It would have been nice to succeed - to have proven her worth right at the outset - but it seemed that such luck wasn't in the cards. Frowning as Mica took a knee to avoid her backhand, she tried to pull more on the spear, only to have her balance completely thrown off by the sudden forward thrust of the weapon.
The words that came out of Euclase's mouth in her yelp were certainly unladylike. Her body continued forward on its momentum, forcing her to stutter step for a moment before tripping herself up. She kept a tight grip on the haft of the spear though, wincing as she felt the wood burn against her palms.
Euclase wanted to whimper as she felt the wood bite into her skin as she was thrown over Mica, the burning really stinging as her fingers tightened against the spear, She would not let go of the weapon, even as she ended up on the other side of Mica.
She tried to kick backwards, but at the angle and her awkward landing, it wasn't very powerful - or aimed.ChibiGingi Sorry for the delay hun, RL kicked me in the arse pretty hard. OTL

"Don't lose focus," Mica said in warning, barely keeping her balance even as Euclase clung desperately to the spear and went up and over her. While Euclase felt her strike wasn't either powerful or well-aimed, it was enough to force Euclase off balance, and she was forced to remove one of her hands from her weapon. She just barely clung to the shaft with the other hand, but instead of twisting around and striking at Euclase's exposed back or head, she recovered her grip and continued to pull against Euclase's hold.
She could have aimed for her head, and maybe she should have. It was what the enemy might have done should the Corrupted senshi been in a fight with one of them, but Mica could not ignore the fact that this was an ally, even if it would have taunt her a valuable lesson.
The wood in his spear began to creak and whine, letting her know that if one of them didn't concede soon it would splinter in two, but Mica cared not for the safety of her weapon. It could always be repaired. She simply had to see if Euclase was willing to destroy another officer's weapon, how many toes she was willing to step on, on her way to the top. Would she break the weapon before relinquishing her hold, or would she back away? That was the question that burned in Mica's mind at the moment...Pixie Krysta Ordreg It's totally okay. I know how that is!

Euclase heard the creek of the wood herself, and felt herself wince. How badly did she want to prove herself? She couldn't gauge Mica's mood - her tone was that of stern teaching, but all the same, she was surprised she had been allowed to get this far. Gritting her teeth, she continued to hold on to the wood, allowing her weight to be supported by it as she started to take a knee.
Would Mica let her break it? Would she tell her to stop before then? Would she lash out at her before the haft of the spear snapped like a twig? Euclase didn't know, but... she'd sworn to prove herself to the Negaverse and if that meant breaking Mica's spear.
Then she'd break the spear.
Gritting her teeth, Euclase threw all her weight forward and down, dropping onto both knees in an attempt to snap the spear against Mica's shoulder. With any luck it would shatter quickly, instead of creaking and popping like a tree in winter.

The wood snapped, splintering down the middle with a loud 'CRACK', just as Euclase had wanted, and blow to her shoulder as well as the sudden shifting weight sent Mica tumbling forward. She managed to keep her balance throughout the ordeal, however, digging her heels into the grass to stop herself from losing anymore ground, and she spun to face the senshi that had dared destroy her precious weapon.
Not that she was truly angry over the matter, though one couldn't tell by just looking at her face. Her thin brows were slatted and her lip curled into a frown, but her eyes held a tinge of amusement as she looked upon Euclase. Some anger lingered in her voice, but she didn't strike at the Corrupted senshi with the segment of her spear that she held. "You managed to break my weapon, but I'm still armed. It may be a broken stick, but it's still something a desperate opponent would cling to if they thought it offered them a chance at life."
Luck, however, wasn't favoring Mica, as she noticed that between the two segments that Euclase received, it was the one with the rainbow crystal still attached to it. Which certainly would have given her the advantage should they continue the fight, and yet Mica was curious to see if Euclase was willing to draw blood on an ally. Or had she had enough? She had proved her resolve in breaking her weapon, could there be more to ask of her this evening. "So, what will you do, Euclase?"

Euclase was elated when she heard the sound of the spear break against Mica's shoulder. Rising as she heard Mica's voice, she turned slowly, looking down at the piece she held in her hands. Her lips held a slightly satisfied smile - which didn't wither at all even though Mica sounded a little angry.
She'd done it - she'd proven she was willing to do what it took to win a fight. Of course, when Mica asked her question - Euclase lifted her end of the broken weapon and pointed it toward Mica.
"I will do what I have to to win the fight," She said - plainly. "Isn't that what we are supposed to do? Win at all costs?" Granted, she didn't want to actually hurt an ally - but if Mica came at her again, she would defend herself.
But for now she was content to keep a guarded stance, "weapon" at the ready in case it needed to be used.
But really, Euclase hoped that Mica wouldn't push the issue.

"Win at all costs, whether it be your life, your family, those you may hold dear... maybe even your humanity," Mica said, holding her broken weapon close and not letting Euclase see how white her knuckles were. She was proud of Euclase and it was hard not to be, but perhaps she was simply jealous of all that this senshi had when she felt as though she had nothing. Once she was content to have so little, but to see another so pleased... "Would you be willing to lose any of those things should the Negaverse ask it of you?"
Not that she would think the Negaverse of now would ask such a thing. They had grown soft and many preached about bonds and being one big happy family... though that warm and fuzzy feeling was only reserved for the few, and even if Mica was asked to join, she'd refuse. The Negaverse wasn't a happy family. The Negaverse was a military unit and such pathetic things had no place so long as their enemy existed... she kept this idea ever present in her mind, even as she silently lamented the destruction of her weapon.
"You may lower your weapon, Euclase. I won't attack you now." She could have been a real b***h and teleported behind the senshi and strike her down. It would have taught Euclase a valuable lesson in never trusting the enemy, and as eager as Mica was to harden this one up into an even better soldier, permanent damage and distrust of members of the Negaverse wasn't her goal this evening. "You did well tonight, Euclase. You'll be one of our finest in the Negaverse if you keep this tenacity up."

Euclase lowered her guard slowly, nodding to Mica before walking over to her and handing her her half of the weapon. "If that is what was asked of me I would do so," She said.
That is, everything except my dear Carnelian - he I could never give up. She smiled at Mica, pleased that she was able to prove herself.
"I hope to make that prophecy come true," she said, standing there and waiting for Mica's further orders. She would be the obedient corrupted senshi - sure, that was within her power to do. The Negaverse had not asked her to do the impossible.
Not yet.

Mica accepted the half and pretended not to look at it, not allowing the Corrupt senshi to think that she was ever angry or hurt by the destruction of her weapon. Of course she was, but such weakness Mica wouldn't allow to be seen, and the moment she felt it returned to her hands, she placed it behind her back, returning them to the realm they rested in when not in use.
"You did well tonight. If you can focus your rage and funnel it into fueling your drive and spirit, then you will make a great officer," Mica said flatly, not really smiling but it was clear to see that she was at the very least sincere. Perhaps she could find a way to use that little love life of hers into fodder in the future, but that was a lesson for another day. "Keep practicing, Euclase. I'm expecting much from you, and so is the Negaverse."
She felt enough was done for tonight, and the sight of the trash-ridden ball park was starting to disgust her. "You're dismissed. Stay on your toes... it'll do you little good to be attached on your way home after doing so well."

Euclase nodded watching Mica for a moment as she spoke. “I will keep practicing,” she said, feeling her fingers tighten into a fist for a moment before relaxing. She was looking forward to being able to prove her skill again once she’d gotten a bit better. Maybe next time she wouldn’t have to break the weapon in order to get it away from Mica.
“I will be careful, though if any of our enemy tried to attack me, I think they’ll be in for a rude awakening,” Euclase said, a sly smile crossing her lips. “I’ll make them regret messing with me.”
She was after all, a servant of the Negaverse, she would make them feel suffer a great defeat at her hands if they tried their luck.
Turning on her heel, she gave Mica something between a wave and a salute, before making her way out of the ballpark to head home. She’d have to brag to Carnelian about how good she was doing.ChibiGingi I am so sorry it took me so long, rl stress/drama killed my muse. I think we can call this done though, thank you so much for being patient with me hun. So sorry again. OTL
