Rivera's attack completely failed. The shield of gravity was strong enough to keep her in place as well, even if it was unintended. She quickly invoked a counter shield and skipped dimensions, coming out of the same plane in the future, so vanishing for about three seconds before emergin, freed of the shield and watching the white light in the ground. Her eyes narrowed and she shot up into the air, her steel wing spread.
Rivera doesn't have full use of her wings, and they could only help her keep in the air for short periods of time. She was never quite airborne because the wings weren't originally meant for flight. However, the feathers were razor sharp and dangerous weapons. Plummeting towards earth with them as her balance, she swung her sword beneath her in a deadly circle. There was a powerful counter algorithm that she incorporated into the blade to react to any shields within miliseconds and penetrate it.

Sakura looked up at Rivera in the air. He threw his staff in the air and it froze in mid air. Sakura placed an energy shield under it as if it was a table for the staff. Sakura stand up straight then lunched over, streching his back skin. He grunted as his wings came out, expaning to its full length. 15 feet wings with gray feathers covering it. Sakura looked back up at Rivera and flapped his wings once to get airborne and flew towards her.

Rivera knew he was going to make that move. In the time that was required. She had already slashed the shield supporting the staff to pieces, and it wasn't particularily where he would be able to reach it--lying all the way on the other end of the field. She didn't want to touch it in case if it had some sort of enchantment on it that prevented her from doing so. She watched his wings emerg from his back and sighed. There was just no working somethings.
Rivera decided to kick the battle up a notch and finally make an actual attempt at an attack. Swinging her sword in a figure eight, she created a storm pulse throughout the entire arena. Lightning laced the air with the distinct smell of nitrogenous earth, lifting up into the air in plates and fragments. The sky grew darker and soon, rain poured down in massive torrents. Everything that had metal or any moisture would be succeptible to lightning. The lightning was laced with her spatial shield algorithim, made to surpass any shield, and make the shield completely useless against the attack. She herself, a storm and steel as well as a space entity, would not be affected by the weather nor its other properties. With a powerful charge, she brought up her blade toward him, a dragon of lightning whirling around it in a graceful arc.

Sakura quickly backed away from Rivera and wrapped himself in his wings. He hid inside his wings as strikes of lightening compelled down on him and as Rivera stucked him. Nothing broke his wings or went passed them as he hid inside. He waited for Rivera's energy to drain from this storm that she placed and rest inside his wings. Feathers came off of Sakura's wings but not much, about 5. The feathers flew to the ground of the arena and rested there, planted hard onto the ground. They should help Sakura later.
[[Umm, it kinda seems like your god-modding. sweatdrop You have items that pervent my abilities from working.]]

Kit stood in the middle of the arena, a downpour of rain beating down on him, and the winds blowing his hair and clothes. In his hands was an enormous morningstar, so large it was suprising that the boy could even wield it. It was all black, save for the brutal silver spikes on the head. He stuck cruelly against invisible opponents, smashing, smashing, smashing, blows that would surely shatter the bones of a human and spill blood everywhere. His face was set in a grimace, his fiery red eyes contrasting greatly with the dismal setting of the rainy arena, his eyes being the only thing with color in the arena, his clothes being black leather. He slammed his mace down in the ground, the spikes holding it in place, and let loose a bloodcurdling roar, and began striking unarmed, in a brutal style of the Israeli martial art Krav Maga. The strikes of the fighter looked like they could break necks and noses. Once his fearsome display was over, he dropped to the floor and began excercising, waiting for a challenger.
[[that's a pretty loose use of the word algorithm... also, you spelled it wrong]]

((Aggh!!! I'm a freshman dummy!!! gonk and I had to type fast... I've only got a few minutes you know... as for the god modding part, not really, if you read my post. I planned it for something else. It's just mathmatical manipulation. There's one weakness you haven't hit upon. It's so blatantly obvious by monitorin her movements... um... try to first beat her speed, then hit her as hard as you can. Or if you can't, then just know that she thinks (or used to think) that all boys are women-abusing freaks. Play on that fear. It doesn't matter how, just do it. I just told you what to do sweatdrop now everyone knows...))
Rivera suddenly fell to her knees, everything settling back into place. It was never a real attack because it never made it through her home dimension. If she really did do that, she'd have used up twice of her life force, which was miniscule to start with. The entire thing was made to be only an illusion to trick Sakura into a defensive state. The restraint placed on her attacks caused a few hard knocks to her concentration and mental stability. She wavered a little closer to the bloodlust insanity, but Rivera restrained herself tighter.
She suddenly sprang from the ground and attacked directly, stroking at the pinion feathers with an icy electric strike so he could be immobilized from the air. At the same time, she worked to keep a good eye for a defensive motion for any signs of his attack.

[[I'm still a bit confused. eek ]]
Sakura unwrapped himself from his wings and snapped his fingers bringing his staff to his hands. Seeing Rivera striking head on, Sakura flew even higher and tried placing a shield around Rivera and threw the shield towards the floor but released it once it almost touched the ground, forcing Rivera to hit the ground.

Rivera fell back, but didn't seem to be acknowledging her wounds. There was a slash across her leg where her armor didn't protect her. She quickly broke the shield with a variation of the formula for the surface area of a sphere that countered its existence. Instead of attack, she watched Sakura's movements closely, carefully marking his movements before planning her next move. She would be ready for him.
Rivera knew that between the two of them, she was the weaker. Her powers and strength had atrophied within the confines of her tomb. She was no more than skeletal figure, a corpse brought back into life by a fluke of chance, left with only powers for trickery and an incredible speed... She had very little chance in this fight.

Sakura charged down at Rivera watching her carefully. Sakura started spinning his staff with his right hand on the right side of his body, creating a shield with a ball of explosive energy inside. Sakura stopped about 20 yards away from Rivera and hit the shield with his staff. Once it touched something, the shield would disappear and the energy inside would explode and be released into the thing it touched, causing the object's energy to be drained out of it.

As soon as Sakura's staff made contact with the shield. Rivera saw the opportunitiy and grabbed onto it, seeing that if he drew it away, she would be at him at full power, because her speed was fast enough to get through as soon as there was an opening. Her energy was reduced, but in attempting to counter it, only half of it was gone. Rivera swung her sword forward. Her magic was just about a useless power. All she could reply on was speed. She knew that what ever sorcery she cast would be completely immune on him with his shields.

Sakura anticipatied that Rivera would move to the side then strike, not go straight through. Sakura took Rivera's sword attack head on and flew back some. The sword sliced Sakura's left arm and Sakura breathed heavily over the pain. Sakura hated pain, he hated it a lot. But Sakura always has to deal with it. Sakura started healing his wound by placing is right hand over the wound but placed his staff ontop of a shield first. A glowing gray light came down from Sakura's hand onto the wound, sealing it.

Sakura only healed because he knew that Rivera would take advantage of it. Sakura stopped right before the wound fully closed and flew to the floor. Standing near the feathers that fell earlier, Sakura placed shields around them and made them sharper. Picking them up with the shields, Sakura "threw" the feathers at Rivera but not directly at her, just near Rivera to brush her skin to leave small cuts. Sakura didn't want to kill his partner.

Rivera's eyes burned a war-like violet flame, glowing by themselves from her storm soul energy. She couldn't sense the cuts yet, they didn't hurt her at all. With a massive speeding charge, she flew towards Sakura, swinging her sword's tip towards his legs, keeping the massive blade's top up as a guard. His reaction would be essential for her own move... hofefully it would work.
But Rivera knew long before that it would never work. Sakura was too strong and his powers well studied. He could heal in battle, while all she could do was draw power from her environment... which must be repaid later on.
