Welcome to Gaia! ::

((Wouldn't ducking enough make Leo avoid both, or just dodging to the side a bit..?

Ah well; my plan was to catch the umbrella and launch a hurricane kick followed by a right hook leading the umbrella's handle if that happened, anyways. Just thought you might be interested.))

Gatz grabbed his umbrella out of the air in a reversed grip after palm rebounded from Leo's bony skull. Sensing fire quickly closing in on his left, right, and front, he flicked his wrist straight and snapped open his umbrella, holding it at a ninety-degree angle to his body.

Then he kicked off and spun on his toes. The umbrella once again deflected the flames closing in on him, scattering them outwards in a semi-circular wave.

Gatz stopped his pivot and dropped his hand some to switch to a normal grip on the umbrella. His sleeve smoked slightly.

"Yes, it was as lucky shot," he admitted, standing there. "What I was aiming to do was counter when you moved to block or evade it. I'm surprised you acutally got hit. *Sigh*... do all people in you family only rely on raw power like this..?"

Kasuma was still glowing as she spotted Scorpio, she scambled down to him in short order.

"Hi there Mr Scorpio. I was wondering if you know that funny looking chap in the red. He seems to have an aura like your own."

She watched the brawl carefully.

Scorpio looked at Kasuma and smiled very slightly while remaining serious. "Yes, I do. He's my older brother Leo."

(( Man.. I'm glad i got Capricorn, Leo looks boring as hell to fight.. Aonice woulda finished him off by now easily..

Hey Gatz, maybe that's it, Get in close.. I mean, the only hit you got on him was a fairly simply punch.. And it's quite obvious he relies on his fire power waaay too much.. ))

((Well, you're forced to be a bit more creative when you use plants as a weapon--fire tends to destroy stuff by nature.

Gatz figured that out when Leo got nailed by the punch. Since then, he's just been waiting for Leo to stop holding back so he can have some fun... he's just fighting to enjoy himself, not really caring about anything else at the moment.))

Gatz winked at back at her, and started to spin his umbrella idlely. A slight breeze ruffled his shirt--which was a bit odd, considering that they were underground.

"Well duh," he told Kasuma, meanwhile looking back at his opponent, "but the real question is: Can it stand up to the volcano?"

"--Besides, you should at least move further up in the stands. I can hear you through your shield, and that means your magic isn't suited to protect you guys from what I am about to do." (( sweatdrop He's serious about this part. 3nodding Have Kasuma further up in the stands, Onee, or she might feel the effects as well... I don't want to give myself away.))

Scorpio let himself be tugged along with her. "When they are all gone...my parents will come. And then I can take care of them. That'll end this who fiasco(sp?)

The lava began to rise up bit by bit. "Yes the traditional suspense. Though a little fire works wouldn't hurt if you should lose. It may kill a few people, but think about it on the other side. The island will probably get a new addition to it," smirked Leo as he let go of the ground and stretched. He reached behind his back in a case that was attached to the small of his back and pulled out a single brimestone cannon. It was half a meter long, a foot high, and eight inches thick. Four spikes protruded out of the mouth of the gun and bent a bit downwards at an 80 degree curve near the tips. The shaft was a vibrant glowing red. A scope was located at the top of it. It had 5x, 10x, and 25x magnification switches. He points the gun at Gatz and laughs a bit. "Now let's get started with round two. I'm feeling a bit more pumped now."
