Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kai took a solemn tone. "Ideon, has power rivalling that of god. He.. No It, Can destroy and recreate the universe. It's done it multiple times before. The Confederacy was able to imprison it inside Me, Ohgami, and Vallis. That's why the Frighteners were formed. Not as a special forces unit, but to contain Ideon. But, you see, Ideon's free, and pissed. It's hibernating now, but when it wakes up... We're gonna need something to stop it... Vaakine, Did you bring the Lance?" Vaakine reached under his cloak and brought out a large , two pointed lanch, with the two points wrapped around each other. "Yup. The Lance of Longinus. The one thing that can kill a god! Oh, and Kai, incase Ideon tries anything, just tell Baylu your feelings for her now." Kai blushed and looked away. "no."

What the --
A morphing weapon? What the hell is wrong with people these days? Can't they just pick a damn normal weapon at all?

Or so Snow's mind would say, but on the brink of being slaughtered right now, he had no options to think but to act. Now. The process of saving his left katana was near hopelessness, given the fact that Snow saw the dangers of getting too close to those daggertails. But also seeing how Jean managed to shrug off a mid slash horizontally, and the enchanted armor (Where the hell did that come from!?) blocking the damage regardless of the force given, Snow went to the extreme in fighting to fight Jean.

Instead of dodging the counter swipe from the daggertails, Snow leaped halfway into the air in a front flip in front of Jean before he reached down and went to grab hold of Jean's head with his left hand. Because Jean was then ducking at that time, it allowed Snow the oppurtunity to use the absurd advantage to his best of methods. And using Jean's head absurdly as the pivot point, Snow would push himself away from Jean's grasp as he then went for another vertical slash with the right blade behind Jean, his own view facing the opponent upside down before he finished the flip, darting immediately at an arc to avoid the daggertail, as well as - if possible - to grab his lost left blade.

Enchanted armor, enchanted weapon...
Snow will have to use magic in order to win this uneven advantage.

Baylu felt a little uneasy at the word love. She had only met him today...but then again you could never know. She smiled and nodded to Kai. "Don't worry. I've survived through many things. Especially when I have good people by my side," she told him, looking down at Atreyu. Her anger towards this mess was slowly turning into saddness. The Lt. had been there many times for her, but she wasn't around when he needed her. Seeing his chest rise awkwardly just to get air in his lungs, made her pissed off. "If you guys need any help with Ideon, just let me know," she said smiling and waving to them.

Kai spoke up. "Baylu. Your concern is touching. Thank you." Ohgami, Vaakine, and Vallis got up and left. "Good luck Kai." "WOO HER!"

Faltering when a piece of the daggertail struck Snow's left ankle, he thus clenched his left fist and held it close to his own chest to concentrate after the flip. But with the vertical slash already underway when Jean was just unleashing the daggertail to rip apart Snow's left muscles before, it is hard to see how such a damage can be avoided even if Snow's mobility is somewhat hindered. Considering that when he used Jean's head as a pivot point with his left hand, Snow had slashed at the same time during the flip over, especially using that motion to push himself over Jean and to land behind the opponent.

Even with that, Jean would have been hit fully at the neck and head when the slash skidded its way right up to the neck, where there is and should be no armour at all to fend off the blow.

And though the leg was caught by some stray dagger blade, it wouldn't have effected Snow's attack that significantly, since it wasn't his hand that was hit with the weapon....

But back to the case.
Snow did recieve some hindering on his ankle, but that didn't mean he had to avoid the attack at all. On the contrary, Snow saw through the flaw of the daggertail this time.

The problem with long range weapons - especially whip-like weapons, is that its limited in casting. Yes, Jean can probably whirl the weapon about to defend himself against Snow when he lands. Yes, it can be lethal at long range as well as close range when force is applied, cutting deep into the opponent's body.
But the biggest problem of all, is that it depends on the wielding itself. If it's like a blade equipped onto a rubber like design as its infrastructure, then Snow has nothing further to say. Yet with each swing from the daggertail, it has to depend on the force applied - be it pulled or thrust at - followed by the rest of the weapons connected at once in order to be wielded effectively.

And for Jean to really strike hard at Snow when he landed, Jean either had to move continuously in order to keep the weapon moving, or he's using more of that damned arcane magic in which Snow can't use for today - due to his previous injuries in the previous fight.

And last but not least - as Snow landed behind Jean....

Snow still has his katana unsheathed, remember? When Jean would grab Snow's shoulder, Snow would then literally - and immediately - headbutt Jean and then strike hard with his right blade near Jean's left armpit, using that moment of time to bend his stomach slightly to cushion that knee ram to some extent.

That didn't mean that it won't hurt -- it just means that it won't hurt as much as it would've been....
And with the left ankle, Snow can simply ease the initial pain by applying a little more of his own weight to the right side, easing the pain by some - again mentioned - extent....

Not too good, but hey, he's not complaining...

After weeks of travelling from Barton, he had finally arrived; the massive stadium that was to host a search for Gaia's greatest fighter...

With a roguish grin, Trei shoulders his pack and strides towards the great arena's entrance. Win, lose, whatever...it was his chance to live the life from Jijii's stories. It was the first step on the road to his destiny...

"Soo, uh...anyone else wanna fight?"

The words ring in Trei's ears...apparently this place was already in active combat. Well...why not. It PROBABLY wouldn't hurt to get a warm up in before the actual competition...

Besides, he's interested in seeing just what fighters at this place can do. 'Course, he has to find the person who was speaking, first..
