Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kit stood in the middle of the arena, waiting for his opponent. The arena was set to Fire, a dangerous battleground that let you fight on many different levels. In his hands was a huge morningstar, if you could even call it that anymore. It was all black, with brutal looking barbed spikes on the head.

Suka walked into the fire arena and looked around. He would not have benefitted from any of the arenas and this one looked like a jungle gym. He looekd around it wonderously and then raised his brow as he waited for the rules of their fight patiently. He wanted to be done by the time that Karinwas up but doublted he'd be that lucky.

Suka skid back quick not quite having all of his energy yet for he'd yet to do anything this fast paced all day. He raised both blades to block the mace, he had a good grip on the blades and when Kit's mace hit him he slid back a bit more and though he pulled his blades out from under the mace's end before all of the strength of the attack was gone he'd moved out of range before it could hit. He stood ready for another attack still not yet ready to go on the offense.

[some clarification on your weapon, since maces morningstars and flails are always mixed up by people who know nothing of weaponry. I'd like a description of your weapon because of the three's likness to each other]

[okay... neutral be on early tomorrow then]

Suka looked up as the platform began to fall and once it did fall he jumped back and pushed of of the part of the support beam that remained attached to the cieling landing on the platform before it hit the ground and running up the slope of what was attached to the upper level jumping off onto the next level of the arena and jumping up stabbing the cieling with one of his blades, sheathing the other and holding that one with both hands as he waited there quietly.

Rivera cursed slightly under her breath. That wasn't the way it was planned... ah well, she'll manage the move. Her blade's tip quickly sank into the earth and she pushed her self over it in a back flip, dodging the staff swing and at the same time, landing herself right on top of it. She was light, so the sword didn't make it more than an inch into the dirt. That also meant that if she didn't make her move quickly enough, Sakura-kun would have a very good chance of just pushing her off with the wind from a single wave of his hand. Rivera swung her sword back up, careful that it wouldn't actually hit, but would be a hair's breath away from his throat, hoping it would work. This was her signature move, the Perching Gyrfalcon.

Suka blinked not expecting for the tank to be opened like that and frowning as he had wanted to do more acrobatic stunts while they fought and now he would be unable to. He blinked as the ceiling was being pounded on and he pulled his sword out of the ceiling with bth hands using his legs to help and landing on the floor of the platform he had been above. He jumped out onto the railing of the side facing the now open tank and he grabbed it jumping from that railing to the railing of the top level from the lowlevel he was on. "That really kind of sucks..." he said and shrugged that off pulling his other blade out and searching for Kit.

Yuri walked into the same Arena as Onikage unintentionally. He had finished the part of the book he as reading and remembered hearing about his Arena place deciding to check it out. Now that he was here he walked over to Onikage and bowed to him. "Hello...would this be a good place to spar?" He asked quietly and smiled anxiously as he had been here before hisfriend Suka and had not seen as much as him. He had ome after the battle between Suka and Kit so he had missed him leaving andhe now waited to see if this was the correct place that he'd overheard people speaking about.

Rivera saw the shield coming. She wasn't entirely clueless about the back-ups... and she was ready for it too. The shield was based, like all sphereshell shields, on an invisible axis on a possible sphere that would contain the shield's arch shell. When there is an axis, there are opposition poles--positive and negative. Rivera simply used her steel properties and allowed herself a more metallic quality, compatible with both poles, and passed through the shield easily.

So simply was a bit off the mark. The move took a considerable amount of her magical energy. Rivera remained standing on his staff and her sword moving upwards, but if Sakura was smart enough to use the one move that would easily remove her as well as attack her, she would be just about ready to lose the entire fight.
