There was rain in the future.
The overcast clouds that rolled overhead were more than enough of a sign of this, though even those that could not see could feel the moisture in the air. It was damp, very nearly a wall of water in the air. Those in the area could tell that the storm was very nearly upon them, and it wasn't uncommon to see Navi moving into their homes, shutting the doors to keep out the oncoming rain.
Near the edge of the city, a woman sat, her back to one of the rundown buildings. Her eyes were closed, the hairs on the back of her neck tingling with anticipation as the storm began to brew above her. The woman's white hair fell around her shoulders and chest, the short kimono barely covering her Southern unmentionables. She wasn't in much of a mood to care, right now.
Things had been...different, since she'd come back from wherever it was she'd been. Working with the ONB, she'd been inside of Creamland when it had been...abducted. The remainder of that time had been naught but a blur to her, and try as she might, nothing seemed to make any sense. She could no longer manipulate sand as she had, and while her ability to work with the weather was an amusing methodology of taking her mind off of things...it always came back to one question:
Why?
What had happened to her, to her data? According to Blake, everything was exactly the same as he had programmed her before. But the woman couldn't shake that she felt like there was something else. Something more. A presence that lingered at the sides of her vision, flickering away when she turned to look. A hungering monstrosity that hovered behind her, should she turn to look. But even when she did...there was nothing but her own foolish fears.
Lifting a hand, the woman looked to the sky and clenched her fist. A low rumble echoed out from above. She smiled.

Ooc: attacking a woman is so disgraceful....usually...huehuehue
Around the corner of the same building the woman was resting against, there lurked another form in the shadows. The being in question, could be described as...odd, at best. His general form was pretty non-descript, nothing noteworthy aside from his hair and eyes, the former being a neon green, while the latter was jet black, and shimmered a emerald green if the light hit just right. Though that was not what was odd, his attire was mainly the oddity. He was wearing what resembled a life vest, bright orange and all, as well as a bicycle helmet besides his otherwise casual white t-shirt and jeans. The oddness of his attire would soon be seen to match his personality though.
In a small pile next to the navi was several rather good sized water balloons. Now one that could see the scene as a whole could likely guess what would result soon enough, any one passing him and took note saw nothing more then a crazy navi that was huddled next to his ammunition. A fact that probably sent the off quicker to their destination then before. Riely though, he had a streak of mischievousness a mile wide, and was definitely gonna act on it today.
Riely opted to gather four balloons in hand, leaving the other three behind as he didn't want to carry too many, and end up wet him self. He crept up to the edge of the side of the building, snickering quietly to him self as he got ready to make his attack. He knew his target was there, he had walked by and seen her a few moments ago. And then the idea hit him...and he had set off to prepare. NOW he stood at the edge, weapon in hand, ready to strike.
Riely cautiously peeked around the corner briefly, making sure she was still there before he swung into action. To his glee, she was busy staring at the sky, blissfully unaware of his devious intentions. After the rumble from the heavens died away, he made his move. He jumped out from his hiding, and threw his first projectile with as much force as he dared to ensure it didn't burst in hand. As it hurdled towards the poor victim, he called out with a giddy voice. "SURPRISE!"

Kajira had never equated the word 'surprise' to taking a water balloon to the face. From her knowledge and understanding, it was a word reserved for surprise parties, presents, and other such things that would bring joy to the recipient.
Getting hit with a water balloon was not one of those things.
The woman felt a spike of anger and irritation shoot through her as she lifted an arm slowly, reaching up to pick the remnants of the water balloon from her hair. She didn't know if she could handle looking at the culprit, though from the fact that it hadn't been a dangerous sort of attack, in addition to the fact that whoever it was had shouted 'surprise' at the start...they probably weren't dangerous.
Her narrowed eyes glanced over to the Navi that stood nearby, clad in what appeared to be a life vest and a bicycle helmet...neither of which seemed particularly threatening. Her gaze flickered over the other, noting the remaining water balloons in hand, before she gave a slight sigh. "Run along, boy. I am in no mood for games," she spoke, seeming to judge that this other Navi wasn't exactly the most sound thinker.
Granted, the other navi had gotten her soaked, and if she weren't to return the favor, or scare him off, he might continue. And while it was going to rain soon and she was going to be drenched anyway, it was simply the principle of the matter. The woman glanced back over to the other, who still held the water balloons, and glanced up to the sky. She stood, slowly, before raising an arm to the sky, closing her hand into a fist once more.
As the echo of thunder came from the sky, Kajira opened her palm wide, and a mass of torrential rain descended from the heavens, completely soaking the two of them. While it was a small thing, she enjoyed the moment, and smirked slightly. "Now go home, wherever that may be."

Riely had him self a good laugh as he landed a bulls eye on Kajira. He honestly had hoped for a better reaction, but it was funny none the less. His chortles were cut short as a clap of thunder rung through the air though. He had seen her moving her hand and soon realized what this meant so-....-on....
Riely was now getting thoroughly soaked, as he listened to the repeating pitter patter of the rain as it came down with a vengeance. He had pretty much been one upped at his own game. Granted, she was getting rained on as well, but he suspected she expected and even caused this.
"I ain't just gonna walk away! You just issued a challenge and I never retreat!"
One might question the soundness of his logic, as there wasn't any words that remotely implied that. But he took it as one none the less, and two could play dirty in this game of shenanigans. He found his current ammunition rendered...ineffective, at this point, so he decided to just toss them aside. Instead he chuckled evilly as he knelt down, placing a hand on the ground.
From Kajira's point of view, Riely might have appeared to take on a pose not unlike a linemen playing football, but he had no intentions of moving yet. She would be able to note the air temperature dropping a good bit, as the rain began to make puddles around the area destined to become the grounds of a... well, battle one could say technically. The puddles around Kajira though one by one began freezing over, then ice growing rather quickly towards her, threatening to crawl up onto her legs to help keep her in place, as well as it likely isn't pleasant having your feet frozen to the ground.
Riely was quick to stand up after beginning the freezing process around Kajira, he had one more card he would play before he let her figure out he could play her game. He pointed into the sky above the woman, and snapped his fingers after a moment. At first, nothing happened. Suddenly though, instead of rain, hail began raining down on her from the heavens. And hilariously enough, only on her, as Riely paid little attention to the heavy rain that continued to pound away at his silly helmet, the resounding thumping sorta growing on him even.

Kajira gave a frown as the other responded in a way that she wasn't overly fond of. She hadn't issued a challenge...she'd just given him a taste of his own medicine, that was all. And now, of all things, the other person saw fit to take his little game another step forward? It seemed that she was destined to fight in these outskirts, but she supposed it was fairly likely, all the same. Being out alone, just before a storm was about to break...it was poetic, in a way.
Granted, this fellow she was dealing with now as far from poetic, in his rather crass humor. There wasn't much that she could do about it now, however, given that this one was very much set on going on about some sort of challenge. "Look, there was no challenge issued. I was merely trying to..." she began, when the other lowered his stance, placing a hand on the ground.
She was instantly on her guard, the woman's fingertips sparking slightly as a bit of wind gathered about her. Her very emotions seemed to sway the storm, and due to that, the very weather was changing above. The storm began to build in ferocity as the ice snaked towards her on the ground, and her irritation only caused the storm to continue to grow upon itself, growing more and more violent.
The ice did manage to make it to her legs, but she paid it no heed, making a single gesture with her hand, causing a bolt of lightning to come down from the sky. The lightning shattered the ice, and even as she darted backwards, away from the zany Navi she was fighting, she let the wind surround her, causing the ice to fly away from her...and back towards its originator.
"The elements of the storm are mine to control, boy. The ice you wield falls into that same fold!" she called out, holding a fist outward, the palm facing the ground. With a single motion, she opened her hand, letting the fingers dangle, and just as she did so, the ice that had been falling resumed its prior course, returning to rain. "And if you insist on continuing this foolish endeavor, I'll see to it that you find you have chosen poorly!" she called out, calling a bolt of lightning from the sky, striking a few feet from the other.

Riely was none to happy with this turn of events. He raised an arm to cover his face as the redirected ice rained down on him. It wasn't painful, as his original intent wasn't physical pain but still being more of a prank then anything. He was glad he hadn't used icicles...that might have been a little more irksome.
Riely was opened his mouth to reply to her telling him essentially to "beat it kid", but never managed to voice anything before she had caused a bolt of lightning to strike dangerously close to him. The result was probably quite humorous to anyone else, but Riely was far from amused. He jerked one leg up off the ground and twisted slightly as he wrapped his arms around him self, emitting a sound somewhere in between a shrill screech and a cry of bloody murder.
It took a couple seconds, but he recovered from the shock, and tried to take on an air of confidence again, regardless of the fact he just sounded like a little girl. He was annoyed that he was beat at his own game though, and one upped even. He couldn't play with lightning...and now he wanted to as well. He would have to look into that later, when he wasn't trying to avoid it. He spoke, ignoring her comment to cease and desist though... "I see the force is strong with this one..."
Apparently he was talking to him self as he was talking about her, and aside from her there was no one else, save himself. He had decided playing with the elements was a bad idea given her Superior abilities with them, and instead opted to try something different. He held his hand out to the side, palm glowing as a weapon was materialized for him to wield. He gripped the said weapon, and took a stance before continuing.
" This is the first time I've been provoked to hit a woman...but know that I will not hold back! " Riely then charged at Kajira, closing the distance rather quickly. As he neared he kicked off the ground, causing quite a good sized splash from the puddle he happened to slam his foot into, as he rocketed him self into the air. He brought his weapon into both hands at this point, raising it above his head in preparation for a might strike. Time seemed to drag on rather slowly as the gap between the two lessened, his muscles tensed as he was almost in range. Then, almost as if planned, he swung down in a mighty arc towards Kajira's head, right as the water from the puddle hit the ground once more. His weapon of choice? A rather large sword, one most would find quite intimidating of a weapon...if it wasn't made of foam...

Kajira was, quite honestly, getting tired of this fellow. His lack of refinement and fun-seeking nature were amusing, for certain, and they were a bit refreshing. However, they were one of those things that didn't seem to stay that amusing to Kajira, for very long. There weren't really a lot of those types of things, but this one seemed to be grating even more on her than most. She was merely trying to enjoy a simple storm, and this fellow and his ridiculous outfit was constantly harassing her with constant, inane attacks.
It seemed, however, that she finally had scared him off somewhat with the bolt of lightning. The other had seized up at the sight of it, trying to move himself from the power that it contained. She didn't doubt that he was afraid of the lightning; it wasn't often that she came across Navi that relished the power of the elements, the power of the storm, like she did.
But then he continued speaking. Mostly to himself, true, but the fact that he wasn't blubbering in fear gave Kajira an urge to sigh in frustration. She knew he wasn't going to back down or retreat, and that single fact became even more pronounced as he seemed to materialize a weapon out of nowhere. Granted, she caught a good look at it before he even moved to attack, and wondered what he was going to do with such a weapon. She was getting closer to just unleashing a blast of raw electricity into the fellow for getting on her nerves...and he kept pushing forward, heedlessly.
The woman watched, an impassive look upon her face as the other darted forward towards her. She did arch a brow as he approached, a bit impressed by the speed that the man was exhibiting. It seemed that, despite his rather ridiculous demeanor, he was far from weak. Or, at the least, he was just fast. As he leapt into the air, her eyes followed him upwards, watching as he came downward, holding the blade like it was some sort of dragon-slaying weapon of the gods.
And then: 'bonk.'
Kajira's eye twitched; a vein pulsed in her forehead. "I told you to begone, boy," she growled, electricity sparking in her right hand. "I can no longer be held responsible for my actions; I gave you more than fair warning." As she finished talking, she looked at the other, a veritable storm raging in her eyes as she extended a hand, releasing a burst of lighting from her palm.

Riely was quite pleased with him self, even if it only lasted a moment when he landed his strike. He had figured she was less adept at close combat and seemed right. That is...until he got a face full of lightning.
He was hurled back a good couple yards as, residual electricity arced across his form, landing with a dull thud and sliding to a halt. A few trails of smoke rose from his head, some of his hair singed and burnt in places. Now he was partially of the electric element too, but darn, that didn't feel to pleasent. He crossed that off of his list of possibilities to try now, as a shock would likely just tickle to her. Well tickling wasn't that much farther down the list either...
Riely coughed once, and slowly started picking him self up from the soaked ground. One advantage of the rain was his hair wouldn't be to frizzed later at least. Back on his feet, he stared back towards Kajira, trying to plot his next move. She definately didn't pull punches at this point, maybe he should step it up too...
"Who said I was a boy anyway? For all you know I could be waaaaaay older then you, meanie!" he taunted. Honestly it was silly to argue about age, as you could be created designed as an adult, even if you hadn't been active longer then 5 minutes. But he also thus far had probably shown to have no real logic behind his actions.
Riely figured he would have to try something new but most of his good stuff was kinda moot now by her demenstration of her control of the elements. He was just gonna have to make something up on the spot he supposed. He held both hands out on either side of his body, resembling the pose of a scarecrow sorta. He activated his weapons system again, having forgot about his foam blade already, which was somewhere farther behind him. Instead he formed a pair of...garden spades?
Regardless of the...uniqueness of the weapon, Riely had a plan. It would be absolutely hilarious in his opinion, and started cackling loudly, not unlike some sort of evil villian. He started to run towards Kajira again, but suddenly stopped only a couple feet away, and knelt down while slamming both spades into the ground. While this seemed strange, even for him, it served a purpose. The ground he had chosen as the target of his weaponry was rather soft and almost a mud like consistancy. With a wily grin he started to slowly scoop some out with both spades, then instantly flung both mounds at Kajira, primarily aimes at her upper body and head. [/color]

Kajira watched the other Navi fly backwards, a smirk on her face as his form sailed through the air. The woman had unleashed quite a bit more electricity than she'd meant to, but the Navi didn't delete with the strike, so she assumed that he was going to be fine. With a sigh of contentment, the woman turned smartly on her heel and began to walk away, having had more than enough of this little spat in the rain. She'd meant to enjoy the storm's company, but there had been this one that had interrupted her time.
When she had taken no more than two steps, she heard a cough from behind her and stopped. "You can't be serious." Even as the words were falling from her lips, she heard the Navi behind her starting to move and shift. She turned back around to face him, a bit dumbstruck as she saw the other beginning to stand up. The lightning bolt that she'd struck him with had been at maximum power...and he was getting up like it had been a light breeze.
As he reacted to her words, acting very much like the child she claimed him to be, he looked to be getting ready for another attack. She frowned, the rain still coming down in torrents around them. Due to his lack of effective offense, not to mention his attire, she really hadn't taken this Navi seriously at all. But the fact that he'd been able to take the attack without even batting an eyelash...perhaps he was stronger than he seemed.
Her eyes narrowed as she watched him, extending his arms outward, not sure what he was planning next. The Navi then began to form a pair of what looked like, through the rain, daggers. She took a step backwards, defensively, as he began to move forward again, still with that unerring speed. Yet as he approached, her eyes widened slightly as she recognized that the 'daggers' he was wielding were actually a pair of gardening spades.
And then his attack began, as the man began to lob chunks of wet, soupy mud at the storm warden. Kajira, having grown tired of these games, pulled the rain around her, forming what seemed to be a sphere of water. The mud slammed into the shield, the water holding a firmer consistency than it should, before she began to move forward. "I have told you time and time again to flee. Bear witness now, to the true power of the storm!" she roared out.
In an echo of her voice, thunder crashed overhead, and the woman's eyes narrowed, almost glowing a faint white. She brought a hand downward, causing the rain to suddenly take on a needle-like consistency, and even as she did so, the other was moving, causing a burst of wind to usher forward, encircling the other Navi, forcing the needles of water to take on greater force. Raising her right hand, she closed it to a fist before bringing it down, causing a wave of icicles to descend from the heavens. Not content to finish with that, she brought both hands above her head, holding for a moment before swinging them downwards, a bolt of pure lightning following her form, slamming into the vortex that surrounded her foe. Then, with a single motion, she thrust her hands apart, causing a deafening boom to echo throughout the area.
The woman panted slightly, but she was long-since done playing. Whatever this other Navi had as far as defenses...there was no way he could've withstood that.
((Lawl 5 attacks on Even turns. 8D ))

Ooc: sorry in advance that this is kinda long =l. Couldn't make it shorter really and feel happy with the transition, as it is like introducing a new char lol
Riely was having a jolly good time playing with Kajira up to this point, save for that nasty lightning bolt...but he didn't mind to much. But sadly, someone else had quite enough of his games. But before she was able to begin her retaliation, something else happened. Riely stopped moving mid shovel of mud, not that it mattered much as the few he flung before were stopped by Kajira manipulating the rain into a pseudo barrier. He didn't move an inch as Kajira spoke once more, her annoyance and anger apparent in her voice.
Over head a clap of thunder rumbled through the area, almost deafening, but it almost adequately signaled a change. The fun and games were over...not just because Kajira was fed up with Riely, but because Riely was no longer the same navi. Rielis manged to udder one word before he was in for quite the rude awakening. " What...?"
Kajira definitely did not hold back at this point, and Rielis had nearly no time to prepare for what was about to happen to him, let alone figure out why he had a life vest on... Then it happened. Suddenly the down pour of rain started to drive into his body not unlike being turned into a pin cushion. Granted it hurt, but was minor compared to some things he had be hit with, even when the wind began driving it into him harder. Next he suddenly was struck by multiple icicles that rained down from above. This was quite a bit more painful for him, except for the few that lodged them selves in his helmet...wait why was he wearing such a thing anyway? He had barely had that thought cross his mind when suddenly he took a full on lightning bolt that tore through his body.
As the electricity flowed through his systems, he fell to a knee, the wind vortex around him still going strong. He luckily was not to susceptible to electric attacks, and he was always prided in his durability, but it definitely took its toll on his body. He made a note to not let Riely have control again if possible...waking up to THIS was less then pleasant.
He took a moment to rip the silly helmet and life vest off his person, knowing that Riely likely had something to do with it, and why he was under attack. He threw both items onto the ground and started to raise to his feet, but faltered and nearly fell on his face. Luckily the vortex of wind helped keep him up as he stumbled forward through it. He stopped, taking a few heavy breaths before looking up at the woman who just tried to fry him.
"Listen here woman...I don't know what he did to make you shoot lightning at him, but know that I will finish this little debacle." he said, his tone much more firm, and sounding more mature then she had ever heard him speak before. Which made sense, as Rielis was not one to play around like Riely was. He mentally accessed his defensive systems, and finally activated their full power, wondering why they were not on already...the crazy kid could have at LEAST done that. In response, his attire glowed a bright white, the shape shifting as it enveloped his entire body, save for his head. As the light died down, in replacement of his "street cloths" was his plat email armor he favored to wear into battle. The dark emerald color seemed to shimmer once as the transformation was complete, and the light died away. He knew this would help keep any farther damage minimal, though he would definitely try to keep that at a minimum.
He placed one foot forward as he took on a lax combat stance, the plates of his armor clanking together softly. He accessed his weapon selection next, and instantly his face darkened. 'What IS this...?' he thought as he reviewed the list that was presented to him within his vision. Light saber...Nerf gun...Blow up hammer...'WHY ALL THESE USELESS WEAPONS?!' He almost screamed out loud. He finally found one weapon that he could somewhat make use of, but he didn't like it, but summoned it forth either way.
His left hand glowed as a beam of energy seemed to pour out of his palm, coiling on the ground under it. He made a fist as the glow died away, and the energy took a solid form, making him the less then proud wielder of a whip. He glanced at the woman he faced, his eyes exhibiting a look of pure determination. The one trait he shared with Riely was their not backing down from a fight. He didn't normally attack women, but as the situation stood...she attacked first.
He was ready to strike, his right hand he clenched into a fist, electricity crackling over his knuckles, as he shifted in place briefly. He lashed out with his whip a couple times experimenting with the weapon. Each time the tip cracked dangerously close to Kajira, but always falling short. His mouth curled up at the edge into a very small grin, as he dashed forward, though noticablely slower then before. He lashing out once more with the whip, though now with enough reach to try to lash around her ankle, then yanked back hoping to pull her off balance. He followed up with a hard right hook as he got within arms reach, the electricity crackling over his gauntlet-ed hand as he swung.

As the last of the lightning bolts came down, a deafening explosion from the thunder shook the area, leaving even the Storm Shaman partly deafened. Her eyes watched the other navi, where electricity flickered and danced around him. The area was still lit up with electricity, and were it not raining, Kajira was certain that her hair would be standing on end, even from here. She was as of yet, still uncertain about this one’s tenacity, as she had struck him point-blank with a lightning bolt just moments ago, and he had gotten up without so much as a scratch.
Still, even now, the man seemed to be far from finished, which caused her to wince. She recalled when she had that kind of durability, where even the strongest attacks would just roll right off her shoulders. Yet after she was taken from Creamland to…wherever the hell she’d gone, and came back…her resilience was almost completely gone. In return, she got control over the storms…but to her, it wasn’t an entirely fair trade-off. Still, there wasn’t much to be done now, especially now that she was watching the other beginning to stand. “What the hell is he made out of?”
As the other began to stand up to his feet…Kajira realized immediately that there was something different about him. She couldn’t put her finger on what, but there was definitely a change of some kind. He seemed to be lacking his mirth, and had replaced it with an even, almost stern, temperance. The way he carried himself, alone was enough to make a world of difference, and for a moment, she wondered if perhaps the electrical attack had short-circuited the entire Navi, leaving him a totally different person than what he had been just moments ago.
As she heard him speak, however, any doubt that remained about him being the same person he had been a few moments ago was gone in an instant. “Debacle, hm?” Kajira responded, not at all letting on how surprised she was at the sudden change in personality. “Honey, the only debacle here was you in that ridiculous outfit. At least now you’re presentable,” she spoke, giving him a smirk as lighting flickered across her fingertips. The storm overhead gave another shuddering roar, and the woman was curious as to what the fellow might be able to pull off in this new…armored form of his.
The other seemed to hesitate for a moment after donning the new armor, as if trying to decide on a workable method of attack. Finally, it seemed he decided on what appeared to be a whip-like weapon, which she wasn’t entirely certain was…appropriate, given his attire. “Mmm…I’m liking this new S&M side of you, Navi,” Kajira spoke, watching the male Navi. A whip seemed to be entirely too…weak, given the state of his armor, but she wasn’t about to stop him from trying to attack with it.
Given his attempts with the whip, the weapon cracking just a few inches from her, she felt that perhaps he had some skill with it, after all. Widening her hands, she let the wind begin to flow more around it, the breeze dancing through her fingers as she readied herself. Whatever was coming, she wasn’t going to get caught off guard. At least, that was the plan.
She hadn’t counted on him aiming at her legs, however, and let out a surprised hiss as the weapon wrapped about her leg. The male gave a hearty pull, with more strength than she would’ve given him credit for, which nearly sent her airborne. It did have enough force to cause her to stumble forward, which led her directly towards the other’s fist, which was aimed at her face. “Hmph. Not quite!” she called out, the wind wrapping around her hand speeding up, creating a powerful barrier of what seemed to be raw gale force.
She slammed her palm into his fist, the sphere of air there at war with his own electrified gauntlet. There was a slight pause in the air as the two connected, before the two elements exploded outward, sending Kajira flying backwards. She let out a curse in mid-flight before letting the wind around her carry her upward as she flipped backwards, landing and sliding a short distance away. “Hm. You seem to carry a little more weight with all that change of yours. I like a man in armor,” she spoke, smirking as she extended a hand, the wind that was wrapping about her fingers suddenly bursting outward in a violent cyclone, headed right at Rielis.

The moment their fists connected, Rielis couldn't help but smirk slightly, he wasn't used to fighting a woman, and one that cracked jokes in the midst of combat no less. And to top if off she seemed to hold her own. As the two powers between their fists erupted, sending Kajira flying backwards, he had a much lesser recoil. Admittedly he was weighed down his in armor, so when he slid back a few feet on the ground, he counted himself somewhat lucky. There WAS a building not to far behind him, the last thing he needed was...
He never got to finish the thought as suddenly he had a face full of 'nado, and he soon found out exactly what it was like being blown into the run down building. It was as the dust and debris of his crash settled that his mind processed what Kajira had said right before the attack...was she hitting on him? While fighting? "Pft...women..." the thought to him self as he started to recover from the experience.
From Kajira's perspective, there was now a run down building, half collapsed on top of the mam she just blasted, who also happened to likely be the cause of the rubble shifting currently. Shoving a large chunk of mortar off himself, Rielis clamored onto his feet, running a hand through his hair as the rain began washing the dust out of it.
"You know...I was not aware that the trend was to send the man you just flirted with through a building. I will be sure to keep that in mind." he chuckled as he finished, finding it strangely humorous. Then again he likely was just experiencing a lapse of sanity due to being smacked up side the head with a building...
He began walking out from the ruins that remained of the building, but stopped at the outer wall, grabbing a large chunk of re-bar that jutted from the remaining section that was still standing. With a swift yank, and a loud snap, he found him self a weapon that would not result in teasing. He walked slowly towards Kajira as he made a few test swings through the air, judging his make shift weapons heft.
"As fun as this hasn't been, and I admit under other circumstances I might and returned the flirting, I am one that lives by the rule of 'don't get mad, get even'. And I assure you deep down I am quite angry right now.". He stopped walking as he got with in about 15 feet of the wily woman. His armor was dented in several places now, and even was bleeding from a cut just under his cheekbone. He wasn't done yet, but his body was definitely protesting continuing this silly ordeal. Sadly his mind won out the battle and he lunged once more at Kajira, making a wide diagonal swing towards the raining heavens as he was with in his weapons range. He hoped he would land a decent hit and end this before things got to out of hand...well more so then they already were, if that's possible.

Kajira hadn’t expected to take the other off of his feet with the cyclone burst. But by the same token, she also hadn’t expected him to just get up after getting blown through a building and having the remainder on top of him. Still, after all the rest of the things she’d seen him live through, she really wasn’t as surprised as she could have been. This fellow was built like a tank inside of a concrete block inside of a high-security safe; a building wasn’t going to do a whole lot of damage to him.
”Flirting? Whatever do you mean?” the woman spoke, watching him with a bit of a smirk. While she had been, it was just a form of mental warfare, to get him to lower his guard against her as she was female. Even here, in the Net, it was amusing to see folks treating women with more care than they would a glass chalice. Kajira, of course, took full advantage of this, often to Blake’s frustrations, but she had no problem with taking advantage of what was given to her. ”If you think that much, then you should see me with the men I really get close to.”
She watched as the other broke off a piece of steel bar, now giving him a weapon that was far from laughable, as had been many of his previous choices. There had been…what? Balloons, mud, and most recently a whip? There had been some ice in there, if she recalled correctly, but that was like trying to throw a lightning bolt at a storm cloud; it didn’t really work out all that well. That just meant that she was going to have to try and actually defend against what he was throwing at her, rather than just manipulate the elements some more.
”Angry, hm? Well if you want to put down that bar, I’m sure we could find ano-“ she began, trying to bait him somewhat when he lunged at her with the bar, a bit suddenly. The woman let out a hiss of surprise, and did her best to come up with a defense, but she had been shooting her mouth off a bit too much. She managed to bring up her arm, to prevent the bar from striking her face, but she winced as the data surrounding her arm cracked, and a shudder went through her body in an echo of pain.
The left arm didn’t seem to want to work as well as it had before, now that the data was damaged, which limited her down to one arm. ”Seems you’re serious,” she said with a smirk, her tone dry. ”Looks like I can’t call you ‘boy’ any longer.” The woman leapt back away from the follow-up attack, thrusting her right fist to the sky before opening it wide, a cackle of thunder raging overhead before she knelt to the ground, slamming her palm into it.
A buildup of electricity raged overhead, lightning flickering back and forth in its wake before a bolt of lightning descended again from the sky, aimed at Rielis. ”Not like it’s going to stop him,” she spat, favoring her left arm, now.
