((Bel weighs alot when he is armoured... ALOT. Thats why he moves fast when he takes it off, which I have not done. And I didnt even mention how much it weighed. It's not made from average metal. Besides, havent you played Final Fantasy VII? mrgreen ))
Bel chuckled as he surveyed his foe's similar stance, bringing the Requiem down so he could hold it with both hands and angling it back and to the right. He turned his body so that his left shoulder faced Kar, the Hellforge plating under the leather of his coat able to repel most attacks.
"I intend to."
Without another word, he began his charge, moving slow at first but gaining speed quickly, accelerating from a walk to a trot and then breaking into a run, leaning forward slightly to compensate for the imbalance of his hefty weapon.Supirsingly, the blade didnt seem to slow him down too much, the double blade cutting through the air as Bel entered striking distance, his Requiem outreaching Kar's Blackfang by a few feet as he threw out his left foot and swung hard, putting the momentum of his sudden stop into the force of the horizontal swing with the cutting edge of the mastadonic weapon. Such a blow could tear a man in half, though he was unsure of just how thick Kar's amour was. In the event of a block or parry, there was a good chance of Blackfang being wrenched out of Kar's hands, given the shock that would be associated with such a tremendous effort. Dodging was a viable option, but would merit Bel continuing his assault by bringing his sword about and stepping forward with a two handed vertical blow, otherwise know as the Skullsplitter. It was all going to come down to who could weild their weapon better.

Belillial (( Besides, havent you played Final Fantasy VII? mrgreen )) (( So much that I could take a pen and make corrections to the player's guide. Set a hammer on the head, even though the head weighs more the handle still falls over because weight + leverage = tipping. So yeah... it'd have to be a LOT. razz mrgreen )) Bel Such a blow could tear a man in half, though he was unsure of just how thick Kar's amour was. In the event of a block or parry, there was a good chance of Blackfang being wrenched out of Kar's hands, given the shock that would be associated with such a tremendous effort.
It was all going to come down to who could weild their weapon better. Blackfang came down off of Kar's shoulder; mid swing he flipped his grip into underhand with a turn of the wrist and the blade slammed down into the stone beneath the ground again. The layer of glass that had covered the ground shattered upon impact and sent cracks radiating outwards in every direction. He took one step forwards with his right, crouching slightly while his hand slipped from the hilt of Blackfang to brace it from behind with the side of his forearm. The Requiem struck the broad side of Blackfang, and the impact was enough to shatter the rest of the glass bowl that had been forged from Belillial's hellfire blast. However, the blade had not been wedged into the ground straight up-and-down, it was tilted at roughly a sixty degree angle... which meant that rather than hitting a wall that would try to resist and stop the Requiem, it had instead hit a ramp. Kar had already taken that first step forwards, by the time that the Requiem had thrown itself upwards Kar took his second; stepping behind his right foot with the left and switching hands yet again. He spun counterclockwise in step, snatching the Blackfang out of the ground with his right hand as it passed and bringing it full-circle around in a clean strike towards Belillial's left side; specifically the third rib would have been the place to receive the impact.

Bel grunted as he quickly circled about, changing his grip on the sword, his left higher on the handle than his right as he jerked it back towards his body. With a quick 180 degree spin to the right, he now held it vetically, hilt up to his left side, meeting Blackfang with some difficulty but blocking the swipe effectively wit the broad flat, the Requiem jarring left as Bel allowed it to follow through, switching hands once more with his right hand once more choked up on the long, smooth black handle and the left farther down, almost to the cross on the hilt. The hilt...
The Dark Prince wasted no time counterstriking, his awkward block not having stopped Blackfang in it's tracks but slowing it down enough for him to bring his left foot up and slam it down ont he flat of his enemy's sword, his leg and body hopefully weighing enough to pin the cleaver to the ground for a bit. He did this as he was changing his hold on the mammoth sword, reacting almost as if on instinct. At this point he allowed the Requiem to tilt back, bringing the cross on the pommel foward in a quick, accurate jab to the head, more of a debilitating strike than a seriously damaging one. Bel doubted this would crack Kar's skull open like a coconut, but he was sure it would send him staggering back a few feet and give him a second to align his own weapo in the propper manner to continue his barrage. A bead of sweat rolled off of the tip of his nose and landed on the ground, the glass shards still not having hit the ground from their clash. Though the Requiem beat the Balckfang in terms of size and power, the Blackfang was indeed faster. This was going to be interesting.
((Hey wait a sec I put a hammer on its head and drew it once for an art project and it stayed where it was...))

(( I admit that was a bad way to phrase the hammer bit. I suppose what I meant to say was placing the striking surface of the head of the hammer down and attempting to balance it so that the handle doesn't cause it to tip. Even with sledgehammers it doesn't work because even though the head is very heavy, the handle is long enough that the center of gravity is moved away from the base, which causes it to tip.
If a person with super strength tries to move something that is tremendously heavy, the laws of gravity and inertia should still apply, no? I mean, if a person grabs a fencepost or something and tries to pull on it while doing anything other than pulling straight up (in which they would be pushing off from the ground and that would brace them), they're going to end up moving while the object will stay where it is.
It's like leaning against a wall. You can lean on it, neither of you move. You can push on it, neither of you move. You can push really hard on it... and you'll slide back once the force you exert on the wall is greater than the friction between your shoes and the ground.
On a side note, we have left-right confusion again.
First thing, I'd like you to stop saying "he dodged to the left" when you're talking about my character's left. Use your left, it's easier, and hopefully will help diminish these "left hand to do things on the right side" confusions.
So we start with you facing me. A swing, presumably right to left? At least that's what I presumed since you put the left foot forward but failed to specify. An upwards deflection, and then an attack coming in at (your) left side.
You then... do a 180. Which would put your back facing me, with the hilt to your left side, though the attack would have been coming at your right at that point. Then using the left foot to step on the flat of the blade (which would be on the right), and something with the hilt... tilting back, or forwards, or something, though the pommel is like 10' up if the Requiem is vertical, which gives a good 4-5' feet of vertical distance between that and Kar's head considering he was at a crouch when he attacked.
Just explaining how I'm seeing this here. I'll respond as best I can in the interests of what you were trying to say. ))
The Blackfang stopped in its tracks, grinding to a halt against the Requiem as neither weapon gave in to the force between them but the ground seemed to as the sword moved mere inches but tore a rut in the earth where it had touched. Belillial acted quickly to bring his left foot down onto the flat of the blade, but met no resistance when it fell to the ground under the touch of his foot.
Kar was holding the Blackfang in a backwards grip, and when Bel had brought the Requiem around in time to guard against the blow the focus of Kar's attack had already shifted. Bel's strong guard became his weakness, and Kar's attack shifted from one side to the other.
With both hands on the hilt of the Requiem Bel had left his right side vulnerable, and with a single step in as Bel tried to stomp out the threat of the Blackfang Kar brought his left explosively upwards in a smash under the Dark Prince's chin.
The Blackfang had provided no resistance against Bel's foot because the tip was already going down when Kar raised the hilt beside him. The contact surface between the two blades threw sparks as the weapons ground against each other like knives on a sharpening stone, but it would take more than an immovable object to break the motion of this unstoppable force.

((I was just trying to make it easier but Ill be more specific I suppose. I dont usually descriminate between my left or my opponents because it is usually understood. And the handle of a hammer is on the side of the head. Its a completely different shape. The Requiem rests on my shoulders, with its center of gravity directly over my own. That is why when Im not using it, it has to go back up there because unless its got something to go off of, momentum, recoil force, ect., its hard to swing. At least in mortal form. It has to flow.))
Bel quickly jerked his head to the right, his corresponding right shoulder slipping backwards, the uppercut pushing harmlessly by. He wasted to time in striking back. He kept his foot on the Blackfang, realizing that it was Kar's biggest asset. He was not ready to surrender it just yet. His own left hand shot out to grab Kar's wrist with vice like tenacity, leaving him holding the weight of the Requiem with his right hand and arm. He wouldnt be able to do much in this way, but in a skilled and somewhat graceful manner he gave it a quick upward heave, changing his hold on the blade from an overhanded grip to and underhanded one, the Requiem still facing backwards. This was going to hurt him. He gritted his teeth as his wrist popped and cracked, turning the massive sword about with one hand with his arm far back behind him, the tip of the Requiem giong by Kar as Bel aimed the double edge of the monolithic sword between Kar's legs at the ground, shoving his arm forawrd with strength only rage could bring, and let gravity do the rest of the work. the double edge threatening to hamstring and severely cripple the Demon Lord if he did not move. The Requiem would indeed be driven into the ground, but not without ripping apart the inside of it's target's thighs. Bel frowned as he prepared to take any blow Kar could dish out with his rihgt hand, given that he wasnt still holding the handle of the Blackfang, which would then be pushed flat on the ground by Bel's weight. Somehow he doubted himself, though he managed to strike back within the span of a second.

(( Understandable, but swinging is outwards momentum. It'd be like strapping yourself to an anchor and throwing it.
Man... that post confused the hell out of me until I remembered I'm supposed to be behind you. xd ))
The upper whiffed completely (which is totally understandable if it was going for the chin while behind you, which just doesn't make much sense... I'm still considering it as your right when you say 'the right', and will continue to do so until you specify otherwise, so I can only assume that at this point you've got your back at me and the Requiem is on your right, corresponding the block to the attack) and Belillial quickly reacted to grasp for Kar's wrist; whether or not his hand made it past the bonespikes jutting from the back of Kar's hand and forearm was a matter of pure chance.
Belillial was attempting to move the massive weapon with only one hand; a feat which was proving more than difficult. However, Kar would not give him the chance. His right hand shot up to the back of Bel's arm, and one of two things would happen: either he would let go of that anchor, or his elbow would soon be bidirectional.

((Sacrifice for the greater good...))
Bel roared out in agony, a booming howl that shattered the ears of the patrons as the fist slammed into his elbow, a sickening crack emanting fro his arm as the right plates and joint snapped. None the less, he follwed through, fighting the pain as he had managed to maneuver the sword over its turning point so that gravity took over, still pushing the massive blade forward though the dirt in a reckless assault to immobilize his foe. He wasnt going to go through this much pain without causing Kar his share as well. His left hand Still hanging onto to Kar's sword arm with it's vice-like deathgrip.
((I always assumed you were facing me... I was attempting to hit you with the hilt end of the sword for a blunt impact, and it didnt work so I was fliping it so the point fell between your legs, then pushing it forwards to hamstring your legs...))
((Im sorry this inst my usual grade of post... Im going through some rough times right now...))

(( Understandable.
...I thought we were facing each other, too... but the directions are completely ******** up again. I know which way my character is facing: at you. I don't know which way yours is facing, considering your earlier block said that you turned around, and I really have no idea which hand you're using for any of this stuff anymore because of the left/right confusion I mentioned earlier.
What we have, declared:
- Requiem is on Kar's right side (Kar is facing you) (this is a requirement for the earlier block).
- You're holding Kar's left hand with your left.
- Thusly, Requiem is held with your right for this maneuver.
So either it's on your right side, held with your right, with you facing away.
Or it's on your left side, held with your right, with us facing each other.
Just state a clarification, and we'll run with whatever you say. ))
A hamstring maneuver, driven by gravity, aimed to send the edge of the blade into the back of Kar's thigh (specifically: the hamstring). Unfortunately, gravity alone would likely not bring enough to force the blade through the darksteel scales on the leggings.

((So confusing...
Requiem is in my right hand, as it usually is. Ergo, it is on your left side.
Your right arm is being held by my left. You had Blackfang in your right hand, correct?
I am facing you.))
Bel smiled as he tightened his grip on the Requiem's handle, the blade screeching against the armour on Kar's legs. A flicker of dark power flashed in his eyes as he allowed the energy to surge down his arm and into the sword, the Weapon suddely bursting into flame and emmiting a violent explosion of Black fire. Regardless of whether or not this worked, Bel quickly yanked his sword back and leapt back through the air. Maybe the extra cut would be enough to saw through the tough armour. He winced in pain as his right arm continued cracking away, the Dark Prince shrugging his right shoulder, the corresponding arm cracking with a sickening SNAP as the bone was set back in place and healed by the power coursing through his body. He landed with a thud about ten feet in front of Kar, shouldering the hefty Requiem with one heave. His deep blue eyes locked with Kar's his left hand raising up and motioning for Kar to come forward with his attack.

Belillial Ergo, it is on your left side. (( No, it's on my right side. Otherwise this would have made you hurt: themightyjello He spun counterclockwise in step, snatching the Blackfang out of the ground with his right hand as it passed and bringing it full-circle around in a clean strike towards Belillial's left side; specifically the third rib would have been the place to receive the impact. And you grabbed the left hand: themightyjello With both hands on the hilt of the Requiem Bel had left his right side vulnerable, and with a single step in as Bel tried to stomp out the threat of the Blackfang Kar brought his left explosively upwards in a smash under the Dark Prince's chin. So if this much is true: Then Requiem (at least before you tried that last movement) was on your left side, and you grabbed at Kar's left hand. I don't mind you saying whichever direction you're facing in, or what hand you're doing what with, but the Requiem had to be on that side to block the initial attack, and you grabbed at the opposite hand. I have no idea about your positioning, I know exactly how my character is standing. gonk Like I said from the beginning, you've got your directions mixed up. xp sweatdrop )) The blade slid across the armor when it was pulled back, but the sharp edge alone wouldn't slice through the armor. The blade cut in enough to gash at the scales, and to slice a bit of the backing, which had been weakened by having to contend with the hellfire, but it seemed like Kar would be keeping his leg today. He didn't give chase immediately, he let Belillial back off again... let him lick his wounds for a moment. Kar passed the Blackfang back into his left hand; holding it up above him with the tip pointed skywards. What happened next was likely something Belillial was familiar with... Flames burst forth, wreathing the body of the Blackfang in them. Pointless dramatics. SHNAK!He brought the cleaver straight down into the ground in front of him, leaving an arc of flames trailing behind it in the air, but immediately shooting outwards. Like a thin wave, the fire tail cut through the air shooting towards Belillial.
