Sechs - [Action/Voice]

[bamfing]

[Kurt is hanging out at the Battle Dome today. One nice thing about not having Wolverine around is that the programs he gets to pick aren't too hard and he gets to pick his own pace. But practice is still important, right? Besides, he gets to practice using the handy saber he picked up at the weapon shop. Sure, maybe it isn't practical to his typical training in subduing enemies with guns or mutant powers, but it's way more fun. But then, he'll probably never legitimately be fighting pirates on the high seas in epic sword duels. It's his guilty pleasure, okay? He likes to see imagine himself as a handsome, swashbuckling hero.

In between sessions, he decides to take a break, eat something from the vending machine and chat with people.]

People use the battle dome here a lot, right? Anyone have any favorite scenarios they like to fight in?

[Personal teleportation? Nina actually blinks, amazed for a moment. No known species is capable of things like that, even the xel need a focal point of some sort to dimension-shift. It was possible he has some sort of equipment, but... that was be impressive too. The minute he's back, she glances him once-over.

The only possible thing is that watch, right? But- No, she can't afford that. She lines up her targets again, but as she does that:]

That's a neat trick.

[bamfing]

[He's leaning over the rocks, trying to get a good look at the ruckus he caused. Seeing that they are all properly distracted at the moment, he looks back down and grins.]

Thanks. It tends to come in handy.

I'll bet. [Okay, she looks at the squabble. They'll be good, and then- oh, look, a third one coming around the other way. That one's just got a sword. She only sees him out of the corner of her eye, but points over there for Kurt]

You take that one.

[bamfing]

[He nods, takes his sword, and once again vanishes. He appears on top of the giant. He holds his sword high above him, then brings it down on the creature's head. Or that was his intention. He wasn't fast enough and the abrupt movement of the gian causes the sword to hit armor instead, failing to pierce it. One hand reaches up and grabs him by the arm. The one with his watch. In the moment before Kurt teleport, his appearance seems to 'flicker' like a TV changing channels, but not long enough to make him appear blue.

When Kurt reappears, he's at the gian's feet and manages to sweep a leg under its feet, throwing it off balance. Now, to finish it off while it's down.]

[Good boy; she's got her own people to off though. Lining up her targets on the fighting pair she aims and... her previous loss is "redeemed" when after only a short spray of bullets she pieces one of the gian's eyes and in doing so blows out the things brains.

Logically, she could just shoot at the other one, but where's the fun in that? Smirking, she discards the rifle, brings her Voidblade to bare, and then slinks on off towards the other, now angry, beaten, and confused remaining gian.]

[bamfing]

[In a real life scenario, Kurt wouldn't be so quick to kill the beast off. But given this is a simulation, he does it without hesitation before quickly heading back towards Nina. He's just going to watch, taking note of the weapon she's using. It was one she brought with her, wasn't it?]

[compos-mentis.livejournal.com]

[It is indeed. And stalk... before-]

Hey, big guy. [She's actually speaking the gian language but... lol auto-translator. Anyway, the gian turns his attention to her and. Well, in that moment she lunges in with a trust. The gian stumbles, finding it cut straight through his chest armor- at least partially.

The gian then brandishes his own ceremonial blade. And well, cue swordfight]

[bamfing]

[With no other gians incoming and her locked in battle, Kurt moves closer, waiting for his chance to jump in to the fray if he needs to. Given how she's handled herself so far, he finds it unlikely.]

[compos-mentis.livejournal.com]

[Very unlikely. The fight is quick, but calculated. One deflect, one dodge, and then with a manic grin, she calls on one of the gian's feints and brings the sword up when he's off-balance through his jaw and into the back of the skull. Blood everywhere, perfectly messy. But she seems to be enjoying the momentum, because as soon as she pulls it off and flicks off a little blood she's running towards the rough position where the other giant came from.

Given that the simulation didn't end there must be one more there. In fact, it's the commander, who was in a prayer, but now is done with it and wondering what all the ruckus was]

[bamfing]

[It doesn't take long for Kurt to figure that out. He'll beat Nina to the gian, appearing behind the commander and pushing him over with a kick to the back. Not that this does much save for get him mad, but as the beast whirls around, Kurt aims a jab to one of the exposed sections under its armor. When it swings at him, Kurt vanishes out of the way, reappearing in place just as one massive arm goes through the puff of smoke. Kurt repeat the same move on the other arm.

Now pissed at his slipper opponent, the gian takes another swing, but Kurt appears from behind. The commander is seemingly a quick learner and the moment it hears the pop, he lands a punch on the teenager, sending him flying back into the rocks before he can even get off an attack. Unfortunately his watch takes part of the blow, and for a brief second, he flickers back to his normal blue fuzzy self, before it comes back on.]

[What was that? Nina was watching the fight with a baited interest from a distance - considering when might be a good time to jump in and kill steal - but that threw her off entirely. That was a holo-flash, or something like that, right? A full body...? Running over her memories, something was off and now she narrows her eyes, deciding against going to help the kid at all. Instead she takes a cover position to just watch him. And now pay much more careful attention to his movements because this is much more interesting than reliving this past she can barely remember]
