OOC ~ Lol, meow .. and best of luck, Amero~!! ^_^ congrats on getting this far =D (and probably beating me xD)

She was surprised it had come to this - the outcome of her previous match had been quite the unexpected development. Lust knew well she had been lucky to make it this far; she had not counted upon the kind of compeition she had already faced ... in particular, not such an explosive first match. She would have been able to weild her body as a weapon much more effectively in her second. This time around, she knew not what to expect - she had heard that other females would be participating ... she had yet to encounter one as her opponent. It would be something of an insult to the gender she was somewhat classed as - in spite of the fact that she was no longer technically a human - if she was the only female to qualify.

"Once again, I am left in suspense ... " Lust murmured to herself, this time taking on a different stance; she shook back her sheet of midnight hair, shining a little under the light of the sun, with her hip cocked to the side, hand resting upon it. it was the kind of pose that connoted a, perhaps, halcyon attitude ... this could not be further from the truth. Within, the female felt something of a burning ... and this was nothing more than her desire to qualify, to achieve her goal. It was amazing, the things she was willing to put herself through in order to obtain the one thing she still dreamed of; to become human again would force the memories that plagued her out. The prospect of her old life was too much to give up now.

The female took a few steps forward, almost in the center of the ring; her body turned, still barely changing its original stance, and for the first time for the entire duration of the match, the female faced the audience. Nobody of familiarity opposed her. She never had expected them to ... but the life presented in the faces of the crowds ... the excitement, and emotion, gave her longing new depths. Her emotional repertoire was severely limited in comparison: but no matter. That was all about to change ...

[Amerowolf]

OOC: Oh shi- This is my first time fighting you like...ever. Best of luck m'lady.

Sechs stumbled into the arena a little shaken after she had been fixed up yet again. This time with an even worse injury involving her arm being sliced off. It had been one thrill ride after another in this tournament, even her battles in Z.O.T had not caused such a strain on her fragile cybernetic body.

Sechs peeked from behind a wall to get a glance at her opponent, she crossed her fingers in hope of some giant that was more clumsy than strong; however, as was the story of her life, Sechs was sadly disappointed. She lightly tapped her head against the wall.

Yet again, she was to face a girl. First it had been that bubblegum pink type of personality girl who turned out to be capable of major destruction. Than was that...arrogant bitch. Now some crazed looking gloomy looking woman. Sechs sulked an kept her head bowed low as she dragged herself into the arena to fight yet another woman with a world of surprises undoubtedly hidden inside her.

"Alright" Sechs grunted as she grabbed her thick wrist, which was still a bit uncomfortable from being reattached. "Let's get this over with, yes?"

[Beautiful Illusion]

OOC ~ Daaamn, yeah, yeah it is o_O;; lol...and thanks~ ^_^

The female turned away from the crowds, sharp eyes following who she assumed was her opponent - the crimson irises scanning Sechs as she moved into the arena. Lust admittedly found her opponent somewhat curious ... most likely due to the fact that her opponents all had, for a start, been men ... and male was the gender with which she was most used to dealing. She bowed her head, as her opponent spoke ... once again, much different to the two she had already faced.

"Indeed - I plan on a good show ... " Lust murmured, bowing her head in return and a smirk crossing her otherwise stony face, bringing something remotely resembling life to the pale features. In spite of standing almost at the center of the ring, the female took a few steps towards her opponent, though this time, not extending her talons. Her heels clicked, clashing with the smooth flooring ... obviously interspersed here and there with the dents and markings made by her, and her other opponents, alongside the others within the match.

"After all, we want to entertain the viewers?" She continued, her voice surprisingly quiet - muted all the more by the sound of her heels hitting the floor continuously ... a steady rhythm at first, that quickened in pace as she neared her opponent - she was not used to making the first move in battle, but the way in which she progessed forward would suggest agility unseen by the audience before. It had since been masked only by insanity, or surprise. As her steps reached a perhaps unexpected speed, the female could be seen launching herself forward, prepared to test just what her opponent was capable of, at first.

[Amerowolf]

Sechs calmly made a grab for the Titan Blade strapped at her hip, but she hesitated. This woman didn't seem to have anything particularly deadly about her, though she had been tricked before, but Sechs decided that she was not quite a threat to her yet.

"I don't know about you..." She growled with her thick armored arm cocked back, rushing forward to meet this strange new woman who could run quite well in such uncomfortable shoes. "But I came here merely to fight!" Sechs yelled as she ducked low to the ground and thrust her booted foot up at his opponent's chest.

[Beautiful Illusion]

The female was caught by Sechs' boot, choking a little in mid-air ... she had not expected that. She did not feel a vulgar comment about being 'cushioned', was exactly appropriate, either. Instead, she landed with an awkwardness, albeit delicately, upon the hard floor ... little balance in her stance, replaced by the kind of shaky approach belonging to those still in recovery.

"So be it, then ... " She murmured softly, brushing her chest a little. "But it is seldom I do not get what I want." Lust started forward again, this time noting the blade strapped to Sechs' hip - why had she not used it? The female shook the thought away quickly ... her opponent's actions were only her concern when she was to calculate a counterattack. Her steps gained speed just as they had done before, though this time, the female did not launch herself into the air ... instead, her talons could be seen to grow a few inches. She would not insult her opponent by holding back, and she had learned that under-estimation could soon lead to downfall. In spite of this, the sin hoped Sechs would defend ... her desire to fight was beginning to outsrip her desire to win.

[Amerowolf]

Sechs smirked at seeing his opponents' unexpected weapon. "Kitty gonna use her claws now?" She jeered as she batted her hand around like a cat claw for a moment before curling it back into a fist. "Well, meee-ow."

Sechs prepared to use her bulky mechanical arm that housed her Solenoid Quench Gun to block the claws, as she placed the large arm out to do so, She pulled her other fist back to strike the hopefully unguarded torso.

OOC: ^___^

Bump.


Post.

[Beautiful Illusion]

OOC ~ I was going to once I got home >_>...I was at Roxy's last night, so couldn't exactly concentrate on a good post ^^;

A look of confusion - once again, uncharacteristic of the homunculus - crossed the female's face ... perhaps she had judged her opponent wrongly after all. "But this catfight is only just beginning..." the confusion took to a smirk almost instantly. True, Lust had not expected the mocking ... but it barely fazed her. It was almost a commodity when faced with an opponent with the same determination to fight.

"Shit ... " The female's curse ws inaudible to anyone but her, though she still felt the need to say it. As her outstretched arm found itself caught upon Sechs' mechanical on, her eyes wandered to her opponent's free hand ... directed at he torso, should it remain ungaurded. Perhaps not even anticipating the next move, the female crossed her own free arm aross her torso, as if to defend the 'flesh' ... true, it would seem that nothing could kill her, though that did not mean she did not feel pain. Her upils contacted a little, as she realised her poition - somewhat stuck. She could not move unless Sechs' did ... and that left her vulnerable.

OOC ~ ^^;;

[Amerowolf]

OOC: Island, you impatient pervert. Watchin' girls fight...Creepy condiment.

Sechs felt the soft fleshy arm push back upon her mechanical one, with force that was surprising coming from a woman of flesh and blood. Then again, no warrior wouldn't have gotten this far without it. He watched her hand slide over her torso after obviously having read the movement in her eyes.

"Defense..." Sechs mumbled as they entered this deadlock. "Gets you no where." Sechs thrust her fist forward at the woman's arm, even turning her shoulder forward for added force.

[Beautiful Illusion]

OOC ~ Lol, I feel so wat--oh, nothing different to usual ^^;

The look of surprise upon Lust's face was, this time, clearly visible alongside a wince of pain. She cursed once again, under her breath, her skin paling ever more ... if such a thing were possible. Lust could not say that she had faced an opponent such as Sechs before. True, she had already faced some tough contenders ... this, however, was a form of battle the likes of which she had never encountered.

"B-but ... if you d-do not ... try, you ... will not s-succeed." The female's voice was choked, as she spoke, face twisted ever more - she was, inmevitably trapped ... or at least her sizeable torso was. It was both weakly, and carefully, that the female slid her heeled foot around her oppnent's leg, albeit finding it considerably difficult to move in such a tight skirt. She brought her leg inwards, a little, attempting to drive the heel forward enough just to surprise her opponent ... and hopefully free herself.

[Amerowolf]

"Bah!" Sechs exclaimed in disgust at such heroic dribble. She meant to say more, but she was quite distracted with trying to overpower her opponent. Sechs had been in may different fights in this tournament, but this one had to be the most challenging. Never before had she been in this sort of physical deadlock.

Suddenly, Sechs felt a leg sweep behind hers. Her eyes opened wide in surprise, "Shiiiitt! I should've thought of that." She swore as she lost her balance and lost the advantage over her opponent.

[Beautiful Illusion]

Lust's eyes narrowed a little, as if trying to discern her opponent's exclamation. It was no use ... but she had much more to contend with in her current situation. Her thoughts returned, however unintentionally, to the very beginning of the tournament ... the first opponent had attempted to murder her with strange blasts of energy, the second simply undressed her in his mind ... but she enjoyed this. The female prided herself upon her physical qualities, in particular those with which she battled, and she had finally been given a chance to use them.

"Surprised?" The female smirked, as she releashed her leg, ducking from Sechs as she lost balance. Without more than a second's pause, she started towards her opponent again, this time extending her nails a little more, without bearing in mind the folly she had taken previously.
