This is the tournament battle between Zareb (Waarufu) Vs. Taku (poke mattix); please only post if you are one of the riders.
Battle One
This is one of the four elimination battles between Kyns of the Kyns Battle Tournament. The victor of this battle will be eligible to continued to the semi-finals and later finals. Good luck to both Kyn riders and their Kyns.
Will Kyns, Kyn riders, and spectators take their respective places.
Rules
1. No godmoding
2. No bunnying
3. No killing off your Kyn(s)
4. Please be curteous
5. Please use decent grammer and spelling
6. Please type in IC; OC comments should be in arrow (())
7. You must post your reply within one week that your opponent has posted theirs.
Terrain
The field is vast and empty; it is covered in nothing. A few shrubs dot the place but largely, the field is and has been barren for years. The dirt is moist, but not boggy; it is not sandy, and sticks together in clumps. At least the view is good: because of the flat terrain, one can see miles and miles. The absence of a mountain or a hill is in striking contrast to the vast dirt field.
Your opponent and their Kyn is standing on the otherside of the field, waiting for the battle to begin. A judge stood to the left, whistle in hand. He blows the whistle and yells...

Poke scuffed her foot in the dirt nervously, while her kyn Taku stood tall and proud. Neither of them have had a battle like this, and they both hoped they would be ok in this. Once the judge had blown the whistle she had jumped onto her kyns back, inbetween the spikes so she wouldn't get hurt, and The lunar kyn leap into action. He ran towards their opponent, Howling into the wind. Poke kept her sword to her side while her hands kept a good grip on Her kyn. They were hoping to get in a early blow and catch their opponent off gard.
((OC: what does bunnying mean? like hoping about? sweatdrop ))

(( Paige will type in black, and Zareb will type in brown. Bunnying is creating major objects that weren't there, like materializing a cliff or a giant boulder or a lake. ))
Paige took a shaky breath, a hand on the spotted hide of her lunar kyn. Zareb was her newest bonded, and she trusted the kyn with her life, but this fight would not be well-coordinated in team work. Paige had been in sparring situations before, a long time ago in her schooling, and so she wasn't nervous because of that. Her nervousness came from her first kyn battle.
At the signal to begin, Zareb threw his head back to the sky and roared out a challenge in the form of a howl. His head lowered and the howl died into a snarl, having sufficiently proclaimed that this battlefield was his own. He shifted his weight, eyes glinting anxiously. He would wait, bide his time.
Beside Zareb, Paige shifted her own weight uneasily. The other pair was approaching - fast. Fifty feet became thirty, thirty dwindled to twenty; Paige vaulted onto Zareb's back herself, her bow and quiver over her shoulder. Zareb dug his claws into the ground, neck fur standing on end, and simply glared. He was ready for this with one of the oldest tricks in the book.

((thanks ^^ to make it easier l'll type in black and Taku will be in brown
A snarl escaped the kyns lips and his opponent howled. How dare he proclaim this his battelfield, before they even started to fight! He lowered himself closer to the ground and, when only a few feet from their opponents lept off the ground, his maw opened and claws outsretched as he attempted to bite down on the other kyns left shoulderblade
Her heat was beating at an acceptional rate, and it seemed to beat faster as they got closer. In response poke lowered her body to help gain speed, and when the kyn left the ground she placed both hands on her sword and swung the blade in a horizontal fashion. It was an aggressive attack, but it left her open and her balance shifted, with only her legs to grip onto and prevent her from falling

(( Not a problem! ^.^ ))
Paige ducked close to Zareb's neck, her hands gripping a few clumps of fur to ensure that she was secure on his back for his move. They'd planned this one, briefly. She knew what he was going to do, and all she had to do was not fall off.
He waited until Taku's muscles bunched for the jump, popping his own leg musles tightly so he hopped off the ground stiffly - and vanished. The moist dirt provided him natural camouflage, but his illusion magic enhanced his innate ability to an extreme.
If one was dead still and listened carefully, no movement could be heard.
Zareb, in truth, had backed off a few paces and laid down. He had to be still to keep up his magic, and he had to concentrate harder to keep the extra weight of Paige hidden with him. He wasn't running or playing with them, merely looking to perhaps fray their nerves to give them an advantage.
Paige closed her eyes, her face buried in Zareb's fur. She couldn't say a word, couldn't move more than to breath. It was imperative for her to remain as still as possible so that Zareb's magic wouldn't fail.

poke nearly broke her back in that instant. She had just managed to hold on to her kyn but he had stumbled and went down on his two front paws. She looked around franticly for their opponents, but could not see them at all. She pondered at how they could just disapear all of a sudden. Did they teleport away?
The sudden disapearing act caught taku off gard, and he stumbled over the ground, having put all his weight into his attack. He growled, scanning the area but no sign of their opponent. Howver sigt was not his only scense, and his nose told him they had not gone far. Even though he could not see where they were, he knew how to find them..
inhaly deeping he exchaled a jet of flame that spanned a few meters in front of them, seeing if that would do anything. With this attack he did not put alot of strngth into it, seeing how it was most likey gonna miss. He then turned his head to either side and did the same, trying to find out where they were.

From Taku's left came an outburst of noise as soon as the first bit of fire left his mouth in that direction. As the fire died down, Zareb was able to be seen crouching defensively. His fur was burned around his face and the front of his forearms, some of the wounds possibly going deeper, but he had managed to pull up a fire barrier to do little more than absorb the damage before it was too late.
Paige had been thrown off her kyn's back in his own attempt to protect her, and had landed a few feet behind Zareb. From where she knelt, she let loose an arrow from her bow, having strung it while the flames were still dieing off. She couldn't spare too much time to worry about the lunar. It was more important to distract the other fighting pair from him so he could take care of himself. After all, she was the hindrance in this pair.
As Paige let loose her arrow, Zareb turned to his right and sprinted a few feet away. He ducked down in the dirt, rolling slightly in his own haste and having to suppress a howl of pain because of it. He tried to collect himself, drawing on his magic in an attempt to heal himself. He chose the element of fire, as it was what had dealt the damage.

Pokes eyes widened at the sight of the arrow, and she tried to get off taku to get away from it but she wasn't quick enough. The arrow struck her in her right arm, cauing her to fall off instead. She knelt on the ground, cringing and inspecting the damage done to her arm. I looked like she wouldn't be able to use that arm as much, but at least she was left handed. ((it's true, l am left handed XP))
Taku let out a nasty growl at the girl who had shot her rider off him. She looked badly damaged, and he glared at the girl who had done it. However instead of attacking the girl in revenge, he decided it would be better to go after the kyn, because it would be unfair for a fully grown kyn to attack a human girl. plus she was trying to distract him anyway. Using his speed he jumped past the two girls and ran towards the crouching male. Though in his haste he had left his flank open to any attack from behind

Paige glared right back at the lunar kyn, unafraid of him. She strung another arrow, taking aim a few paces ahead of Taku's running steps and releasing her second arrow. For now, she ignored the other rider.
Zareb snarled, crouching and backing away. The burns were healing, but it was taking precious time that he didn't have. He shifted his concentration, staying crouched and attempting to pull up a barrier at the last moment if Taku got too close. The healing stopped as he did this, of course. He couldn't hold two trains of thought at once, especially not with the concentration it required. His only hope was that Paige's arrow would stop the other lunar in his tracks.

The second arrow Struck Taku on his left shoulderblade, which pierced the skin and went into the muscle. It caused him to stumble on his left leg and to go down in a heap, but not before releasing another jet of fire at Zareb. The fall also caused some more damage to his left leg, and he did his best to shake off the pain
meanwhile. Poke was doing her best to remove the arrow that was caught on her arm. With slow movement she began to ease the arrow backwards, while flintching at the pain it caused
((ok, just to make sure have l done anything in my posts that seem to be impoissble to do or just godmodding like?))

Paige watched what happened to Taku and Zareb, her attention off of poke in her own interest. Her bond to Zareb gave her more information about what was going on, as well as stole a fair amount of her attention.
Zareb flinched backwards a bit at the sight of the spell, but knew it was wildly off course because of Taku's fall. He gathered his own power tighter, managing to fend off all but the extreme heat from the magical attack. With a growl, his concentration swapped back to healing. His golden eyes watched Taku intently, knowing that he might have to pull another retreat any moment. But until that time, he would concentrate on putting himself back together again.
Her partner taken care of, for now, Paige sets herself to pulling another arrow from her quiver and stringing it. She aligned her shot for Taku's right front paw, wanting to immobilize him.

poke had to say, she was surprinzed. when she finaly got the arrow out the wound just kept bleeding. Her right arm was now dripping blood, and she could feel her lunch churning inside her stomach. dammit l'm sick of coming off second best!she thought. Then she realised something. Waarufu was paying attention to her kyn instead of her. She also noticed her about to shoot Taku for the second time. If there was a time to attack, then now would be it.
She noticed her blade next to her, which she had dropped when she was hit. Without the use of her right arm she didn't know how well she could manover her blade, but the idea of being unarmed did not appear to her. She stood up with her sword in her left hand, and ran towards her opponent. When she closer to her opponent, She yelled out "HEY!!" and made an attempt to stab her opponent in the shoulder, Though it was a very off balanced attack, since she was only using her left arm, and it ended up being more of a "blind slash". Blood had also been splattered on the ground from the movment of her right arm.
While on the ground, Taku began to concentrate on a spell that should hopfully corner Zareb and allow it easier to attack. It could be noted though, that the area around them began to heat up [1/3]
While concentrating he could dimly hear her rider call out something, but couldn't make it out. He could only hope she wasn't about to get herself killied...

((poke, my character's name is Paige, not Waarufu... sweatdrop ))
The major burns healed, it was now much easier for him to make movements. He still had a ways to go to be fully healed, but he didn't need to be one hundred percent to fight this battle.
With a snarl, Zareb flung himself forward at a sprint, aiming to jump over Taku to keep his attention until Paige's arrow had done its work. He was favoring his front legs a bit, and blood marked each step, but he bit back any vocal complaints and kept himself focused.
He noticed the rising heat, but there wasn't much he could do but to distract the other kyn.
Paige released the arrow before her eyes caught sight of poke mattix's approach. She ducked and rolled at the last possible moment, the blade slicing away a bit of her leather tunic and flesh but leaving her unharmed for the most part. Her shots may be unsteady now, but if poke hadn't said anything to alert her she would've lost the use of her arm for sure.
As it was, she drew one of the kunai from out of her boot and threw without taking the time to aim. She was in an awkward crouch, and the small knife would likely miss, but Zareb was bounding over from behind to help.

((sorry ^_^;;
woah, this is edited again..forgot the arrow..))
She didn't expect for her to shoot taku then escape, but it should be something she'd remember later. When the knife was thrown she used the weight of her sword to help her lean twards her left so the kunai missed. To prevent her from falling over, her tail stretched out to the floor and provided extra balance. Pushing of the ground she ran at paige again, and hoping for a better strike this time she pushed her sword forward in a diagonal stab at Paige's shouder. Blood still littered the grass from her arm. She took note of the other kyn coming towards her, but she could pay much attention to him and hoped taku would stop him.
to prevent the lunar kyn from reaching the rider, Taku reared up on his hind legs as Zareb leaped over him, hoping to bite down on his right foreleg. The arrow that was shot hit him in his back hindleg, going deep into the muscle. This caused him to snarl in pain as well as anger, but didn't stop his attack. It would take a fair few arrows to bring him down, regardless of his size.
while he was doing this, his spell still charged up, and it began to get much hotter. [2/3]
