Suzaku Kururugi vs. Estonia

Weapons: Lelouch vi Britannia and Lithuania
Location: Conquest campus
Time of day: After school

Suzaku was sat on a bench in the courtyard, he was still angry after fighting Gino. Angry at himself mostly for losing. Not only for failing to win Nunnally but for losing Don. Though Suzaku was sure that Gino would be nice enough to the people who had joined him as weapons. Even if he were a traitor and in league with Zero, a fact Suzaku was still coming to terms with.

He looked over to Lelouch before looking at the floor again. "I'll try again, we know what her weapon is now..."

Lelouch also caught sight of the star that came when their opponent drew. Yes, it wasn't just an anomaly. But what was the common thread? He didn't know anything about these two. He would have to learn.

Watching Suzaku, Estonia matched his pose, but only for a moment before stepping in and swinging at him. A quick and hard first strike, because if you were going to fight, you might as well fight to win, or at least be a good loss.

Suzaku was watching carefully and stepped swiftly to the side, bringing his sword up to meet hers. It had been a long time since he had fought against someone with a sword, he was used to fighting in Knightmare Frame's or with a gun.

He had drilled, but it was not the same as actually fighting against someone else. He brought the sword quickly back into the same position before stepping forward with a low strike, aiming for the hip.

Estonia simply turned the sword in her hands down to meet and clash with his as she side-stepped to give herself more space to work. Coming out of the meeting of the weapons, hers went next in a broad swing at his arm.

The impact jarred and Suzaku stepped backwards, worried about harming Lelouch as he would be feeling the impact of the sword. He turned to the side allowing the next strike to hit, blocking with his arm in order to not use Lelouch's sword and damage it further.

It burned and hurt but there was no blood, just a rip in his uniform sleave. Not bleeding didn't mean it didn't hurt like he had been cut though. He slipped quickly into a defensive position while he recovered enough to strike.

[independencesong]

Pleased (not surprised, she wouldn't let herself be surprised that she was capable) that she got the first hit of the match in, Estonia took a step back and assumed a low defensive position of her own, letting Suzaku recover to make the next move as she glanced in the direction of their Weapons to check on them.

Lithuania was standing out of the way, watching with rapt attention every exchange. He looks like he'd much prefer to be actively participating, but if his role is to just wait for an outcome, he can do that as well.

Of course, he's also making note of the swordplay at work in the fight, and critiquing it in his mind. He's keeping quiet about it, though.

Suzaku recovered quickly, pushing the pain to the side, he could deal with it later. When he was ready he sprung forward bringing his sword upwards aiming at Estonia's chest.

Estonia moved quickly, back and to the side, even as she brought the blade up. Although she trusted Lithuania to take plenty of damage before she seriously had to worry, simply by nature of who (and what) he was, any of the shock of the blow she could absorb herself would be good. After blocking Suzaku's blow, she took a quick swing at him, aiming to slice at his waist.

Suzaku stepped to the side, the sword catching his waist, he hissed in pain even as he brought his sword round and down aiming at Estonia's right shoulder.
