The juuka literally snapped onto Legacy. Something akin to teleportation. Once again, the zoanoroid went for a kick. Aiming at Legacy's chest, the blow would be enough to send almost any navi through a couple walls. Not satisfied with a single strike, Nightshade opted to go for a ranged attack as well regardless of the success of his kick. Legacy was preparing for something big, so he would prepare something big as well.
Pushing his right hand forwad while lowering his body on all fours and anchoring himself to the ground with his left, Nightshade's raised arm morphed into a buster. But not just any ordinary single shot buster. With a distinctive design, the GBuster began spooling up as well. Soon it would be primed and ready to unleash a volley of shots straight at the mechanical navi from the past.

Legacy was confused by Nightshade's disappearance for a moment before realizing what had happened and putting his arms up to guard. A slight green aura formed around his arms to increase his defensive power, but it did little as Legacy was once more blown backwards across the arena, only being stopped by the sturdier walls, although the impact made a crater in the shape of Legacy's body embedded in it.
"Not... Enough..." Legacy thought to himself. An attack from him as it stood might have hit, but even if it did it wouldn't cause any major damage. Not to mention that teleportation... What a problem Legacy found himself in. He fell down to his knees from the lack of available strength, pouring every ounce into both his next attack and his calculations. Like before, cracks began forming in his armor, both from the previous impact and from overcharging himself. This time however, it didn't seem to be a trick on Legacy's part. "Just a couple blows did this...Eh?" He seemed to laugh at himself inwardly at his unsightly display.
"Errors that allow avoiding the attack...Corrected. Diverting the attack...Corrected. Blocking the attack... Corrected. The barrel and condenser won't be able to handle this... Orbital Familiars will account for other variables... Corrected." Assuming that Legacy could last long enough, he only had one shot, and this wouldn't be left up to luck. No matter what, he would make it reach.

The juuka dropped his stance, curious as just what kind of attack Legacy would throw at him. Instead of charging up his Buster as he first decided, he opted for a more defensive approach. Planting his claws firmly on the ground, Nightshade created a barrier around his body and braced for impact.

"Ka-ka-ka! It may...Not be much coming from me... But you are indeed a worthy warrior, my friend!" Legacy unabashedly praised his opponent. Perhaps it was curiosity, foolishness or something else, but Nightshade it seemed was willing to take Legacy's full powered strike. Legacy seemed to have strained himself to the point where merely speaking was difficult however, and it seemed like to a degree his body was beginning to fall apart. The many of the cracks that formed shattered, exposing cabling and circuitry inside of him.
"Guh...! This is... Was it too...Much?" Legacy questioned himself as his vision began hazing over. The mechanical navi's arms and legs gave out, crumpling towards the floor like a puppet with its strings cut. Before falling completely though, Legacy stopped and almost as if being dragged up by his strings, was brought upright once more.
"I've made you wait. Here it is...My one strike." He grabbed the sections of his cuirass-like armor, forcing it open and splitting his entire chest into three massive targeting arrays along with what appeared to make up his very being, the Sefirot Reactor.
Particles concentrated and condensed in front of the reactor, and the one brilliant green sparks of electricity and plasma changed to a mixture of white and black particles from the overcharge of his reactor. Calculations had also been made and applied to render all forms of defense meaningless, and meanwhile Legacy's Orbital Familiars detached in formation, firing a thin red laser into the increasingly large and concentrated orb formed within Legacy.
"Now take this. Reactor Cannon...Fire." The cannon fired, practically blowing the targeting arrays surrounding it apart in the process, sending the now almost person sized orb hurtling towards Nightshade. The orb stopped shortly right in front of Nightshade, falling into the ground, before shrinking as if to implode on itself, then violently expanding outwards in a blindingly brilliant explosion. The blast covered nearly the entire arena, pummeling everything it made contact with with high energy particles at a molecular level. In a few moments that seemed to last forever, the explosion eventually dissipated, leaving Legacy a moment to regain his vision.
"How...Was that?" He managed to utter, before completely blacking out, unaware of the result of his attack.

The entire area shook as the explosion took place, forcing even the public to shelter themselves. The ground cracked and gave out under the pressure of the attack. Nightshade was launched backwards, his feet claws digging in the dirt to keep the juuka from getting blown away. When the smoke finally cleared the beast was still standing, albeit heavily damaged.
Falling on his knees, Nightshade gritted his teeth in pain. He could not feel his left arm, his whole body was covered in cuts and bruises with small bits of data missing. He had to thank the creator of the Undershirt program that he did not get instantly deleted from the blast. Gathering some strength Nightshade pushed himself back on his feet and slowly wobbled over to Legacy. The guy had been knocked out cold. It seemed like the fight was gonna end there.
"If I were to be honest, my friend..." Nightshade said "It was pretty good."

Within a few seconds, Legacy's eyes reappeared on his helmet and he regained consciousness with a start. Parts of his armor had broken and almost completely shattered, now held together with crystallized Sefirot particles like glue holding together a broken vase. There was no mistaking it, that last attack had nearly destroyed Legacy just launching it. His Sefirot Reactor was still active and particles were still radiating from him, but rather than preparing for battle, it was more accurate to say that it couldn't be contained in Legacy anymore since chest now had a massive gaping hole in the front, not to mention his targeting arrays were far to damaged to be retracted properly.
"Ka-ka....Gah!" Legacy attempted his usual laugh, but everything was in atrocious amounts of pain. He managed to see his opponent still standing over him, and could only laugh in amazement. It looked rather like Legacy's own attack did more damage to himself than Nightshade, although his feral friend certainly looked like he had seen better days after the explosion.
"After all that, you can still move... What a tough bastard! Very well, I surpassed myself by a significant margin with that last attack. I concede with no regrets." Legacy said, satisfied with the outcome. Even if he was sore about the loss,there was no way he could continue fighting.

"Eh...if I didn't have this form, things would have been really different." The juuka said, sitting down in front of Legacy and curling his tail around himself. "Technically speaking, usually a fight ends with the deletion of one of the fighters. But since we are both still active but lack the strength to keep battling...I think this fight's a draw."
Nightshade chuckled as a siren signaled that time for the fight was up. "Right on time, too. You've surprised me, Legacy. I suspect this won't be the last time we'll measure up in combat. Now, we might want to use some Recover 300s before both our datas fall apart."

"Keh. Don't patronize me boy... We both know it would have ended different if you went all out from the start. Or if you weren't foolish enough to wait for my attack. I know how to recognize a loss, and my pride won't allow otherwise." Legacy managed to sit upright with a strained grunt and some significant effort. He was at least regaining his bearings after pushing himself too hard, and it seemed like the Sefirot Particles were repairing him to some degree, although slowly.
"Well, I don't hate that foolishness at least. I shall accept the praise at least, I surprised myself as well after all." Legacy pointed at the gnarled metal still protruding from his chest after the Reactor Cannon ripped it apart. The physical damage aside, Legacy's memory seemed to have a slight issue as well since he didn't fully remember managing to launch the attack, only the aftermath.
"I was damaged even more than I thought. I must rest after this." He thought to himself. After another few moments, he managed to get enough strength in his legs to stand on his own. It would be a long time before he dared release that much power again, although despite the damage, he could feel growth from the battle.
"Well, I shall take my leave. I shall be stronger the next time we meet. Until then! Ka-ka-ka!" Legacy laughed as his body dissolved down to a stream of data, logging out of the area.

Nightshade
Style: 27/30 Articulation: 16/20 Balance: 12/20 Length: 5/10 Emotion: 8/10 Judge: 8/10
Nightshade does in fact have style, this much is true. About on-par with Legacy on articulation- you both had some things I had to read more than once to understand what it was you were attempting to do. Lost two judge points- one for each transformation. PERSONAL BIAS. >:V Additionally, and I'm sure some of these were made on mobile, but the small posts made transitioning from one post to the next a little difficult at times as it didn't seem like there was enough there to carry the battle in some aspects. Others, like when Legacy was charging his final attack, were warranted, but still low. Per usual, NS is overtuned for what he's doing. Balance is something that puts the pair on an even footing and the only attack that really did any damage was the final and one of the earlier blade-like attacks, with a number of others doing virtually nothing in response. Different body types or not, needs to have some more back-and-forth. You're def getting better tho.
Legacy
Style: 23/30 Articulation: 16/20 Balance: 16/20 Length: 8/10 Emotion: 8/10 Judge: 10/10
Full judge points for the 'Ka-ka-ka' laugh. Loved it. Overall I enjoyed the match and getting to see Legacy in this sort of situation, rather than in one that constrains him by the stats, is a very interesting thing indeed. I like how whole business, how he moves and what he does. I find him to be a very interesting sort. I think you did well in adapting to what Nightshade had given you and got a fair bit of points on style for it, especially when changing the Sefirot Cannon to firing chakram instead of its usual burst. In my opinion, you did get smacked around a little more than you should have given how few times you had actually gotten hit, but that's Nightshade's usual style anyway.
I also very much enjoyed the very robotic way about him. "Errors...corrected." It's amost a little primitive as far as some of the current Navi are and I enjoy seeing that sort of thing and I think it fits his style quite a bit. Despite having that robotic nature about him, you still manage to get in a fair bit of emotion unto him, and he makes for an entertaining read.
