HOMURA AKEMI vs. LITHUANIA


Weapons: Ramona Flowers and Kevin Smith
Location: Conquest School
Time of day: evening


The fight had been called into place on a few coincidences, really. Lithuania, eager to make sure he knew how to use all of the weapons he was looking after, had held his regular gun practice a little later than usual, and Homura happened to be nearby just in time to see him with the weapon. She'd challenged him; he couldn't bring himself to back down after such a direct declaration.

So here they were, meeting in the courtyard of Conquest school. Classes and other obligations had kept them both busy until the evening--the sun was just starting to set on the horizon. Maybe that made it more picturesque for a showdown, though.

Following behind Lithuania with his uniform as disheveled as ever, Kevin ran a hand through his hair and resettled his sunglasses, fighting a yawn. He'd been up late yesterday trying to power through the manual and could swear the sheer boredom was going to harry him for the rest of his life.

And he still wouldn't understand a fifth of what was written in that book.

"This game is the pits."

Homura is quiet. Yes, she knew he was weak with guns. She plans on not showing her weakness with swords until it's impossible to avoid. She tilts her head.

"Let's draw our weapons."

Ramona had followed behind Homura, not saying a word. She wasn't going to back down from being used in a fight, especially not after Homura winning her first with Ramona's weapon.

"I'm ready when you are." She stood beside Homura, facing their opponents.

No protests here. The blonde staggers, as is expected of him, and winces while grabbing his chest. The pain, while expected, isn't exactly pleasant no matter how many times it happens.

The shot does not connect. A miss. Homura is grateful for his unfamiliarity. Even if it's not real-- the pain is.

She's rushing forwards, sword at the ready. Of course she isn't approaching in a straight line; being familiar with guns means she knows what is easiest to aim at. So she approaches diagonally, meaning to give him a harder time aiming.
antitank: (quietly)

[personal profile] antitank 2012-01-13 03:49 pm (UTC)(link)
She sees him ready the gun; she sees where he's aiming and does her best to swerve out of the way. She isn't as lucky this time, and a bullet grazes her upper arm. The pain is sharp. It hurts. But Homura doesn't stop to look it over, instead charging. The distance is quickly being closed. She's very quick on her feet, even without magic.

She can run in heels, so that's not going to do anything either. She's balanced.

Closer, closer. Homura approaches. She doesn't stop moving even as she swings in-- not with all of her might of course, but with a fair amount of strength. She swings underhand, aiming for his upper leg.

It's very very narrowly that she avoids the bayonet. She feels the tip of it brush her, but it doesn't stab in. Often enough her reflexes have saved her life, and though this is but a game it saved her here too. Her pain tolerance is high, but she knows she'd be slowed down by something like that in her chest.

She gives chase, keeping just an arm's reach behind. He's quick too.

Lithuania would be right; it's a heavy sword, and though she has a lot of strength in her she isn't used to the weight of a sword.

But she hesitates turning the corner and her instinct proves her right-- a bullet flies by, something that surely would have gotten her. She rushes after him, wasting no time.

She sees him and runs after. It's awkward to climb up after him with a katana in hand, but she manages it. He has height on her... so she steels herself for taking a shot and continues to climb.

It really hurts at first. He hit her dead on. For a moment she clings to the ladder, trying not to fall off. But she reminds herself that her body is just a golem, and that helps to numb the pain.

She crawls up to the roof, and quickly begins to approach again. There's not much room up here for her to rush after, and a fall would be bad. So she just comes dead on. An easy target once again.

The bullet grazes her-- she makes an attempt to dodge, but doesn't quite make it. There's no reaction to it.

Closer and closer. She swings at his middle.
antitank: (lightning)

[personal profile] antitank 2012-01-13 05:02 pm (UTC)(link)
She backsteps the lunge and rushes forwards. She goes for him again, swinging hard.

Her momentum carries her and she slides down to narrowly avoid the stabs. She faces him again, running with no intention to allow him the time to fire.
antitank: (watching)

[personal profile] antitank 2012-01-13 05:17 pm (UTC)(link)
She's completely thrown by that, but not for long. Her hesitation is only a moment. Sliding down the ladder she follows after, clasping the handle of the sword between her teeth as she does so.

[personal profile] antitank 2012-01-13 05:27 pm (UTC)(link)
She doesn't hesitate, even when the shot hits the metal. Quickly she moves after him.

The bullet misses, and Homura follows.

[personal profile] antitank 2012-01-14 03:58 pm (UTC)(link)
She doesn't follow, instead waiting for him outside the classroom, behind the open door. There shouldn't be any doors leading outside, so he's trapped there.
antitank: (around)

[personal profile] antitank 2012-01-15 09:33 pm (UTC)(link)
She is quick to get out of the way when the desks come flying out-- she slides in front of one, directly in Lithuania's path of escape. She swings the sword.
antitank: (hairflick)

[personal profile] antitank 2012-01-16 07:23 pm (UTC)(link)
She dashes forwards-- the hallways lead all around and she doesn't want to be running through the school, so she tries to herd him back where they came.
antitank: (there)

[personal profile] antitank 2012-01-16 09:57 pm (UTC)(link)
She lets him go in that direction-- but she tags just a pace behind him, absolutely not giving him room to shoot. Homura winds up and swings again with the sword.
