Nevada cocked the gun on her shoulder, staring intently at Stormy.
"Are you sure you really wanna do this?" She didn't want to tucker the girl out before the tournament. And she had never thought Stormy would ask her to spar with her. Part of her was still nervous at handling her weapon with her half sight but....
"I'm kind of worried that I might hurt you accidentally." She wasn't worried about herself. Stormy could beat her to death and she wouldn't complain. "Or I might mess up...." Leroy urged the mist huntress just to fight.
He was tired of waiting.

"I'm sure~"
She was smiling for Nevada, of course, because it wasn't all bad. Stormy hadn't had a fight in a while, that was all--the problem was that it took its toll on Thane's hunger, and the dracolich's growls were actually beginning to scare her as much as they were breaking her concentration on normal day-to-day activities; sometimes she swore she heard it in her dreams from a lurking, dark beast. This was partly to get them back in the game as well as satisfy Thane's needs before his grating screech of bones drove her mad.
Plus, at least battles kept them busy and on their toes.
"We'll be fine!" Stormy assured her as she took a few steps back, greatsword in her hands. "Promise. I already took on Gale, and he's got that sniper rifle." She failed to mention Gale had accidentally broken her shield and bruised her because, well, details schmetails. "Besides, we haven't practiced with each other yet~ And you need to get some now that you've only got one eye and all."

"I mean to ask gale if he'd show me the whole gun thing. His sniper rifle I heard is a beast in battles." Nevada lowered her shooting glasses, letting it adjust on her face as everything went to a weird shade of purple.
"I never thought to spar you honestly." She smiled, "I didn't want to hurt you for sure." She nodded, letting her hand drop down to Leroy's second handle. Her finger loose on the trigger.
"So who goes first?"

Everyone always seemed afraid of hurting her for some reason, like she was a delicate doll. It was almost getting annoying at this point, much as she appreciated their concerns. "Hits hard, I'll say that much. I helped him practice short and long range attacks, so it's even more beast~" Stormy boasted with a grin.
Getting to the tips of her toes, she began to bounce lightly on her feet as she got into the zone. "Well, I issued the challenge, so . . ." Then without warning she leapt forward, still grinning as she swung low to get Nevada moving.Nyxtsuki Moon faux attacking to start us off /o/

"Oh man, I can imagine." She kinda of wish Leroy was a sniper rifle, so she could set up longer away....but then again her gun still allowed her a freedom away from others that it was okay.
She jumped back from the great sword, smiling at at the girl.
"Okay...Okay here I go." She aimed, pulling the trigger back to aim it at Stormy. The bullets spraying the girls shield heavily.

There was another reason Stormy had wanted to fight Nevada, and it was specifically because she had a gun. It was time to see if being in more than her share of battles had desensitized her to the object.
Her answer: somewhat, but also not really.
Hoping her whimper was muffled by the fusillade of bullets and the way she lifted her arm to defend herself was viewed less as cowardly and more split second not-so-smart decision, Stormy shook herself off and rushed after Nevada. "Nice one!" she complimented, again bringing her sword low. Hopefully she could ignore her heart's pounding, because jerky movements like these weren't going to win her this fight.

She felt the clip of the sword at her feet, moving back again so that she could circle Stormy. If the girl thought she was a cat before, now she really exuded the air of a lion or tiger, prowling their prey.
The small whimper didn't escape her, but the fact her friend was not running away screaming meant that Stormy was being BRAVE, and facing her FEAR.
FUNNY, DIDN'T THEY HAVE AN ARGUEMENT ABOUT BRAVERY.
She kept stepping back, waiting for Stormy's move.

IS IT REALLY BEING BRAVE IF YOU KINDA JUST YOU KNOW LASH OUT?
Taking a breath, Stormy pursued her, swinging a little higher to try and catch her. "Come on, Nevada, you can't run from me!" she challenged with a little grin. "Let's see Leeroy in real action!"

"I'm not running Stormy, I'm waiting." She smirked, the reaper weapon hissing with the challenge. Just as she wanted to pull the trigger, she didn't realize the small hole in the ground, in her blindspot and tripping over it, her gun shooting everywhere but not at Stormy.
"s**t...s**t." She pushed herself up, cursing at herself.

"Well, you're waiting quite a whiiiile~"
She was adjusting the grip on her weapon and eying a time to swing when Nevada stumbled across the hole. Stormy lost her momentum and kept back for a moment, the greatsword still before her. "You okay?" she asked with a little concern, noticing it happened in her bestie's blind spot.

"She shook her head, trying to smile. The slip had caused her more than just physical damage, it terrified her. A slip like that in a real battle, she would be dead.
She'd die because of her damn blindness.
Panic made her voice rise, clipping it just a little to answer Stormy's question.
"I'm good!" The mist huntress this time stood still, positioning her feet apart. "I'll....I'll be okay." She aimed the gun, hitting at Stormy's sword instead of the girl to let her know she was ready for the fight again. Even if she lowered the gun with trembling hands.

There was some hesitation nevertheless, especially in the way Nevada's voice rose. What if that became a real problem in battle? But, Stormy realized, much like the way she didn't want people coddling her because of her apparent cute factor, so too would Nevada probably appreciate not being treated differently because of her eye.
Nodding wordlessly, she re-fingered her grip (the smack of her gun had deseated it a bit) and jabbed forward to get her moving again.

If Nevada didn't already love her best friend, she defintily loved her more. Like she had told the girl before, it was thanks to her that Nevada was able to stand at least.
If she had been fighting Stormy without the friendship, she would've thrown down her weapon and went to find some sun mission to just finish her off.
Instead, she jumped back from the sword, pleased to see it was in her range and that she could still feel it.
She jumped back again, but with the close range, Stormy would get a full barrage of bullets.
As well as Leroy flaring up.

A split second before the barrage, she heard the click of the gun and, very briefly, panicked--moreso when the bullets sprayed out and struck her in bulk before she could get the greatsword up to take the rest. It didn't matter that the shield prevented actual harm: just feeling the bullets hit her body, just hearing the loud rapport, was enough to shake her confidence and put her in a frightening place.
Stormy had been lucky when she had sparred with Gale: his sniper rifle allowed only one shot at a time beyond his charge.
Thane took advantage of her instinctive need to react badly to it and hissed for her to strike back; and in a heartbeat she agreed, forgetting who she was fighting.
The runes on the greatsword flashed before a tar-like substance coated the weapon. Stormy rushed forward almost blindly (guns couldn't aim well if you got too close, right?), arcing the weapon diagonally across Nevada's shield; on contact, the substance (poison, with the awful smell of sulfur) ignited into a contained explosion that caught them both.
She knew almost immediately that it had gone badly--her fear had gotten the best of her, and a lack of control let the energy come out unregulated and painfully. "I-I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" she squeaked, coughing as she became overwhelmed by the smell for a moment. "I didn't mean to--" The tournament said no charges, so she should have known better than to use one, scared or not . . .

Nevada hadn't been paying attention as Stormy close ranged her, if she had seen the uncomfortable fear in her friends eyes, she would've called the battle. Instead, moved to bring her gun up, because as stormy came.
So did the heat.
And sulfur, She'd remember the smell as her eyes widened.
"S...Stormy?" The fire engulf her, raising a very loud yelp. She felt the fire literally rip at her shield, and while it did so, Leroy raged. As she tried to get her bearing, he shouted and shouted.
Her finger pulled on the trigger on instinct, a beam of light shoving through the remains of the smoke right at the other mist girl. Hitting her dead center and exploding on contact.
And then the blast retracted to her shield, ripping whatever left remained and making the mist girl scream with ******** ******** LEROY." She hissed,the gun unsummoning as she waited for the dust and smoke to clear. "Stormy? Stormy are you okay?" She wiped her shooting glasses from the haze, looking for her friend.
