Judge needed
Merrill appears off in the distance, headed towards the sandy beach by the ocean. He seems at peace as he walked. It was a beautiful, warm, sunny day. Merrill was looking forward to this fight. He was slightly excited to face off against a REAL pirate. He was nervious, yet, itching to test himself. He was wondering how he would fare, especally testing out a few new tricks. His crystal pulsed lightly, and his hair flew freely behind him. he stopped at the shoreline, reached down, and put his hand in the water. He smiled. The water was perfectly clear, and yet, just a few hundred feet away, the water was a beautiful shade of blue. Strecthing his wings, Merrill stood. His swords, the MZKeyZoths, appeared in his hands. He set each blade into the sand, and he waited. He looked to the sky, and let the sunlight warm him, his crystal pulsating and his wings reflecting a gold hue from the sun.
(Raven, If you want anything changed for the conditions of the fight, lemme know. I just used this as a base, and if you want more or less postes, lemme know. Or, if you want story Version active, lemme know.)

*As Merrill stares out to the waters with the warm sun shining across his form, a sudden burst of sound explodes from inland: a scatter of lead in grapeshot-fashion suddenly peppering his back and exploding on-contact; sending him face-first into the sea. Standing just inland with the sun beating across his form was a tall Navi covered by crimson, silver, and gold armor formed into something akin to a coat. His single eye looks to the fallen Merrill with an arm-cannon outstretched and smoking, his opposite arm held to the side as a massive metal claw that resembles a hook*
PirateMan: Boy, 'ye best have good reason for calling me out. Speak quickly, or the next words spoken will be the last 'ye utter.
*PirateMan keeps the cannon focused on Merrill's body , his single eye dead-set with a cold, cruel gaze as he stands ready for combat*

As Merrill lay on the ground, he rolled himself over onto his back. Still laying in the sand, he looked up at the form of PirateMan. Although surrounded in shadow from his view, he could see an outline of the hook, and the cannon pointed at his face. He spoke, trying to hide the excitement and nerviousness in his voice.
[glow=33CC88,2,300]"I have heard many things about you sir. I have heard that you are an amazing fighter, a brilliant strategist, and are ruthless in battle."[/glow] he said, making it to a knee. Merrill then stood up, flexed his wings, feeling a small pain. He then noticed PirateMan's full armament, and was not dissapointed. A true pirate was standing right in front of him! He couldn't help but flash a small smile before getting serious again.
[glow=33CC88,2,300]"I have also heard you can find anything. I want to see if the rumors are true. Are you as good as they say? I want to know."[/glow] he said, staring straight into PirateMan's eye.
Grabing the MZKeyZoth's, Merrill pulled them up from the ground, holding them loosely at his sides.
[glow=33CC88,2,300]"I am Merrill Heckentash. I might not look like much. May I ask the pleasure of whom you are?"[/glow] he said, with a bow. To end his little speech, he asked a question, pulling up the MZKeyZoth's slightly, covering his heart and throat.
[glow=33CC88,2,300]"If you are a pirate, do you hunt treasure? and if you do, how do you, or would you, hunt something unobtainable?"[/glow] he asked, true curiosity in his voice. His eyes and his guard did not waiver as he asked his question.
(OOC: The honors are yours! ^_^ Good luck, and lets have a ball!)

*With Merrill's words spoken, the single eye of the Crimson Scourge narrows to a harsh glare. Thrusting his hooked-hand forward, the claw blasts from its place and clutches Merrill around the waste; the bladed edges digging into his flesh as he's recoiled forward at break-neck speed. After mere seconds, Merrill found himself held in mid-air, face to face with the steel skull that is the continence of PirateMan*
PirateMan: Ye' called me here just to ask how I hunt riches?!
*Taking Merrill closer to his body, PirateMan holds the younger Navi's right leg straight and back with his own leg, then quickly stomps down on the held leg with his free foot. As a result, a loud "SNAP" resounds throughout the shore front as the tivia and fibula in Merrill's leg literally snap from PirateMan's attack; the fracture nearly compounding as the cut-throat Navi takes a step forward and swings Merrill up by his claw, raising him up-and-over and slamming him into the ground below head-first*
PirateMan: It's time 'ye learn something, lad: the stories of pirates are nearly all lies. We're not an adventure-loving lot, here to hunt for buried treasure: we're cut-throats and thieves. 'ya wanna' know how I get my lot?
*PirateMan's eye darkens as he glares at the fallen youth*
PirateMan: I STEAL IT, AND KILL ANY WHO STAND IN MY WAY OR WASTE MY TIME!

As PirateMan attacked, Merrill was taken aback. His opponent had clearly gotten the wrong idea, and Merrill realising his little chat failed to get any answer, he sighed, then was hooked. As PirateMan snapped his leg, he cried out in pain. THe force of his broken leg nearly brought him unconsious, but he somehow managed to stay awake. The bash on the head sure brought back some focus... and more pain. His crystal flickerd as he managed to crawl far away enough to gain his breath. As PirateMan stopped, Merrill made it to a knee, tears down his face, from the pain.
[glow=33CC88,2,300]"....You misunderstand. Hehe. *cringe* Its not about finding something attainable.....It's not about money, or riches. Its about finding the unobtainable. Let's see you get it..."[/glow] He muttered. He attepted to stand on one leg. He pushed a ton of healing prowess into his leg, drew his swords, and glared back at the Crimson Schourge. his opponent thought that he was waisting his time? Well, He had said there was more than one reason he came here. He came to fight!
[glow=33CC88,2,300]"...My...Turn."[/glow]
His crystal glowing. Merrill suddenly beat his wings, and jumped a good ten feet up. He then threw both swords, one caught fire mid air, the other started dripping poision. Then, the rainbow colord Kunai left his neck, and flew directly at PirateMan's eye. AS soon as the kunai left his neck, Merrill chared a small dense charge of energy, and he flew down, slamming it into Pitateman's chest. Merrill then rolled of, and stood on two feet now, his leg finally finished, although still a bit tender. To end his assult, He charged again, both swords appearing in his hands at the last moment, causing 2 vertical slashes, one upward stike, the other downward strike. He fliped back to the edge of the sand, and croosed both blades. He spoke nothing, as he not only waited to see if his mesage got through, but incase he had to suddenly move. His crystal glowed slightly, and his body shook, shaking off numbness. He was ready, and itching to fight.

*Set and ready as Merrill made his leap, PirateMan stands with his legs set apart, looking skyward. As the twin blades rained down from above with their unique elemental powers, PirateMan makes a quick leap backwards to dodge them. It's then that he sees the kunai bursting forward like a bullet and is forced to take a second leap back to avoid its piercing properties: just in time to have Merrill fall like an eagle from above and slam into his chest with a blast at point-blank range. Shaken by the blast, PirateMan remains stationary for the duration of the strike and staggers back when finished; appearing throughly stunned until Merrill made his strike. Snapping from the stunning effects of the previous strike, PirateMan suddenly drops to the ground before Merrill; missing the blades by litteral inches and spinning once to perform a sweeping kick, yet missing as the younger Navi dashes away and stands prepared for the next strike*
PirateMan: Enough of your games child!
*PirateMan stands and raises his cannon arm to Merrill, his lone eye glaring from behind the shadows of his mechanical skull of a face*
PirateMan: Callin' me out was a lethal mistake, boy. You've robbed me of time, and NOONE steals from ME!!
*From the mouth of PirateMan's arm cannon, a massive flare of bright blue fire spews like a volcanic inferno. The blazing mass lashes forward like a starved preditor with prey in sight, engulfing a massive area around Merrill and burning out to sea as a crimson flash highlights itself from among the blue.
Bursting out from the fires with a slash, PirateMan instantly enters into attack: a dull steel cutlass now formed at the end of his cannon. Pressing in with fevered strikes, PirateMan relentlessly clashes his blade against Merrill's MZKeyZoths', each strike sparking brightly in the sunlight as the Crimson Scourge presses harder and harder.
Spinning for a full-power slash, PirateMan suddenly whips around with lowered stance: kicking Merrill's injured leg with near bone-shattering force in order to disable him once again: lashing out with deadly force once again a split second later. The fighting style displayed reveals itself to be both brutal and ruthless with no honor or respect.... with his every action, PirateMan reveals himself to be both oppertunistic and unforgiving: willing to disable his opponent at will should the oppertunity arise.
Suddenly breaking from his current pattern, PirateMan takes a step back and recoils his blade: firing off a scatter-shot at Merrill as he had near their meeting. The bullets fly forward in an unavoidable pattern, slamming into the younger Navi and exploding with the explosive force of ignited black powder as PirateMan reaches through the smoke and slashes at Merrill's neck with his razor-sharp hook, attempting to either capture or kill the Navi given the oppertunity*

As the valcano of flames reaches Merrill, he puts the MZKeyZoth's up, and attept to deflect the attack. THe flames are cut, yet still burn him horribly along his arms. Then, Merrill manages to see a small flash of movement, and a cutlass. The first strike is blocked, both the Cutlass and the MZKeyZoth banged and caused a loud matalic ring. The next strikes, were not dodged, and Merrill took many cuts across the face, chest and arms. THen, the spinning kick connetcts with Merrill's knee, and he screems in pain. The fallowing slash is dflected from its orginal target, and catches Merrill in the right wing. As he falls, Merrill is struck by the scatter-shot, leaving holes in his wings, burn marks in his armor, and a bit of blood on his face. As Pirateman reaches his hook in for a killing blow, Merrill manages to move a few inches, causing the hook to sink in his left arm, slrightly pircing armor in his side.
As the smoke clears, with blood running out his mouth, arms and a few chest wounds, Merrill smiles, and with one eye open speaks.
[glow=33CC88,2,300]"Psyche... I.. got ya.."[/glow] he said, a faint grin appearing on his face. With the hook stuck in his side, Merrill latches onto Pirate's arm for a moment.
Without warning, Zerah's magical kunai, which was fastened around Merrill's neck, detaches from the chain, and charges directly at Pirateman's heart. As the blade dissapears around his neck, Merrill pushes off Pirateman, and falls. He uses his good arm to propell him back, putting distance bettween himself and the Crimson Scourge. He then heals his leg, so he can move. He then starts healing his arms. He still had cuts, but they were not life threating, nor would they slow him down. Within a few seconds, He can function enough to fight, and top prolong the battle for a moment, shouts towards the Pirate.
[glow=33CC88,2,300]"Hehe. You are as good as they say. You have amazing power... I admit, you surpass me in raw power, range and skill. I have no regrets in calling you out. However, I'm not done. And you still haven't answered my question..."[/glow] he says smiling.
Merrill then starts drawing energy from the sun, and he takes a few deep breaths. With a snarl, his butterfly wings glow, and chaige into their dragonfly form. He beats them a few times and gets airborne. As his wings beat the air, sand is kicked up, causing sand to partailly block the view of each combatant. Merrill suddenly beats his wings, and flies at PirateMan with an intense burst of speed. As he reaches the pirate, The MZKeyZoth's shine in a streak of rainbow light, and Merrill brings one down, turning, whipping the other at PirateMan's neck. He then repeats Pirate'mans spinning techneeque, but instead of whipping with the MZKeyZoth, he drops the attacking foot, reversing directions to kick with his good leg. Then, he rotaes his body in a spin motion, slashin both swords as hard as he could. He jumped back, then struck a thrust blow at PirateMan's stomach. With the thrust, the MZKeyZoth in his right hand changed. It was covered in poison. Then, The left comes in for a second thrust, and this one was covered in flames. A third thrust came in with rainbow light, from the right sword. Merrill jumped back, then let loose a short, yet wide range blast, like a shotgun. To end his assault, he charged back close, and made an X stroke with both MZKeyZoths downward, and reversed, repeating the strike upwards. He jumped back, heaving, the leg wound hurting. He left a good several yards between them. He waited for the dust to settle, and he labored his breathing, trying to quickly get it under control.
