Welcome to Gaia! ::

The quiet was nice.

Even as he stood in the middle of the massive cave like structure that was embedded in teh side of the town, he enjoyed the breeze and the stillness of the ancient city. Very little had he actually enjoyed of it, and its embrace was something that he knew would not last as long as he certainly desired. His left hand, gloved like his right, remained by his waist. His stance was stoic, though slightly leaning to his right, with his right hand holding his Titan's Edge over his shoulder as he looked towards the opening where he knew Kalay would be coming.

It would be interesting really, him having to face his old instructor in this combat scenario. Originally, he never really thought that he would ever have to do something like this, even if it was for a casual tournament of sorts but oddly enough, he was looking forward to it. His face was easily defined as complacent if anything else, but there was an eagerness in his eyes that certainly signified that he wasn't afraid to participate in this. Even as he held his breath towards his arrival, he shook slightly with an anticipation. It was not confidence, or at least overconfidence. He just knew he was not going to break in blind emotion at the slightest fallacy that he made. His right hand slowly descended with his blade to be by his waist, holding it very easily as his left hand moved closer towards it, simple preparation as his opponent approached.

He said not a word.

"Neither am I." He called out, his voice easily carrying throughout the silence, "You still look like a bum." He watched Kalay and Carbuncle closely, quickly eyeing the environment around them before giving a smirk. His eyes looked manic. He still didn't know if this fight would be of the utmost seriousness or if Kalay would take it casually....it seemed Riyel would have to influence that decision wouldn't he? "Why don't you fly over here then?" He teased, joking towards his old instructor before raising his hand. "Firaga!" The huge blast of fire erupted from his palm not at Kalay, but hitting what held the track up underneath him, hitting towards the left a little from where he was actually standing, exploding underneath him in an attempt to collapse the bridge from under him, or at least damage him maybe with flying pieces of wood. But at least to get Kalay to move. And it was in that moment that Riyel focused, as soon as he had launched the Firaga, he charged forth, leaping onto the rooftop below him before leaping, Elliot the Dragon appearing underneath him and fluttering towards the standing tracks, turning its head towards where Kalay had been and unleashing a massive blast of its smokescreen attack towards where Kalay and Carbuncle had been, the blast reaching almost exactly to where he and Riyel were landing, . It was funny because Kalay had never really met Elliot just as Riyel knew not of him being a Sorcerer. Time certainly made things different.

Riyel kept his gunblade drawn though, as he landed about thirty to fourty feet away from where Kalay had originally been, the smokescreen covering the tracks about ten to twenty feet in front of him as he awaited Kalay's response. Elliot had took to flying once more, staying in support mode. He had to be ready for whatever his old instructor would throw at him. They hadn't been in the air long, and Riyel hoped to hold an advantage with the smokescreen. The flight itself had been about five to ten seconds in length, the little Dragon having fluttered before depositing his companion on the tracks to truely commence this fight.

"Mayday!" A word that Riyel could actually agree with the little dragon on as the Aero struck them, both gritting their teeth as Elliot squawked out, his little wings glowing white. Riyel felt almost immediately relieved from pain...but there were other things to worry about at this moment. Like them falling. As Elliot's wings started to crumble from the force, Riyel pointed his hands down while his legs held on for dear life, the little dragon managing to open his wings as they began to plummet. JUST HOLD ON! He commanded, "Fira!" Two large jets of flame shot downward, catching Elliot's wings underneath and ending their plummet as quickly as it could. They had already fallen about ten feet, and were about even with the tracks, give itfour to five feet above it still.

Riyel turning to see Kalay in the distance as soon as they elevated, Elliot gliding in a slightly downward path, just managing to drop off Riyel in the middle of the tracks. No more stupid s**t. He breathed heavily, looking towards Kalay. Elliot squawked and floated by his master before flying towards Kalay as Riyel began to jog, the little Dragon gliding past Kalay to be on the opposite side of him, fluttering with his little wings in the air about ten to fifteen feet away from him, releasing a blast of the smog as he landed. Hopefully, to cover Kalay in it as Riyel continued moving up the tracks
towards the fight.

No more mess ups. Riyel thought to himself as Kalay called out to him, pointing out his stupid mistake. He felt no need to respond in any sort of defense...because it was true, obviously. As soon as Elliot missed in his attack, Riyel's face grew sharp with anticipation towards the oncoming assault. Holding his Gunblade tightly, he awaited until Kalay reached a certain point. "Gravity!" The attack was announced when Kalay was about seven feet away, just as Riyel ran forth and swung his blade vertically, swinging the trigger releasing a large wave of destruction in front of him, aiming to take out Kalay or maim him with the spells loaded...Bio...Thundara...and Fira. This fight is going to be interesting. And this time the thought was not optimistic.

Elliot was chasing after Kalay and Carbuncle, especially Carbuncle. What could he say? He was hungry and there was a little rabbit hopping near the opponent that looked...so...delicious! He soared after the duo, his wings glowing once more as a faint blue shield went around Riyel's form before vanishing. However, right as Riyel cast Gravity, Elliot soared downward and tried to claw at Carbuncle in one desperate strike, the little dragon fading off as his time in this world ended.
