Ruby's eyes flew wide with shock as the ball-player simply back-pedalled away from her deadly reap, and the vibrations coursing through her body from the scraping against the barrier were terribly unpleasant. To compensate for the momentum, she took a step back and dampened the backswing by bearing shaft to shoulder. The Huntress leaped backwards twice to create some much needed distance between the blond man and herself.
As her silver eyes set upon her opponent's trousers, however, she clutched the machine tightly to her chest and broke into a roaring giggling fit. She could not comprehend what she had managed! Coughing, she recalled her senses to the present and slipped the crimson cartridge out of the bottom of the sniper, soon replacing it with one of an orange hue, scarlet cylinders packed inside. She slammed the ammunition back in and took aim at her foe.
"Mind if I have the name of the guy I'm shooting?" She asked, attempting to make small talk with the stranger. The glass before her eye panned around the man's vicinity... and when it did so, something was horribly off. Time to hear her opponent's reply was nought as she back-pedalled, preparing to run, but she had already wasted enough time. She felt a solid object crush her hand into the side of Crescent Rose, the crimson polearm shooting out of her grip as the ball returned to its wielder.
Tears welled up subtly in the girl's eyes as she favoured her injured, possibly shattered hand. With bated breath, she watched as the hybrid machine plummeted into the deep, dark fissure bisecting their allocated killing floor. The one weapon she could wholly rely on... her opponent had just stripped her of her one and only partner...
Ruby shot a dirty look at her foe a moment before she was forced to hit the deck, a spherical mass soaring over her head. To evade further, she rolled to her right... but that was deemed a grave manoeuvre as the ball boomeranged and gave her a nasty smack on the back of her skull. The stunned Huntress could do very little as she lay in a hopeless, dazed ball. Her ringing ears caught the sound of heavy, dusty footsteps before her.
Another object collided with her shoulder, and she screamed out as it popped out of place. She had to further the distance between her and her oppressor... she executed a quick roll backwards, stretching her already damaged shoulder in the process, and skidded onto her feet before taking off, disappearing from sight as her speed instantaneously shifted her to a stone barricade, leaving nothing but scarlet rose petals in her wake.
She pressed her back to the safe-haven and set a hand upon her shoulder, shifting it around to no avail. Thankfully, her dominant arm was unscathed, apart from the spreading bruise from her earlier arm-to-earth impact. Silently, holding her breath, Ruby shimmied from one stone wall to another, before letting out a squeal as the rack of primitive weaponry before her exploded outwards, a ball of azure and alabaster soaring through, as if seeking its prey.
Hold on a sec...
Ruby's eyes analytically scanned the array of tools before her, scouting the two she desired most... as fate would have it, she unearthed them and made a mad dash for a spear and a crossbow. However, her success was not without a cost; a solid mass drilled into her once more, this time taking out a leg. Her legs were slung from under her, and her head solidly collided with the dusty earth. A second daze soon followed, but determination pushed her towards the side of the half-maimed weapon rack.
The gears began to work overtime in her brain as she unclipped her ammunition belt, haphazardly placed the crossbow upon the back of the spear and and strapped the two together. It wasn't exactly desirable, but her Medieval Crescent Rose was at least decent. The Huntress clumsily leaned out of cover, took aim and let fly the bolt knocked in the crossbow. The sharp-tipped missile sunk cleanly into her foe's shoulder, drawing crimson fluid from his exposed flesh. The ball-wielder's brown eyes zoned in on the ranged polearm Ruby was knocking her second round into, and his expression became bitter.
With a grin, Ruby pointed the deadly hybrid at her opponent once more, and shouted; "Lemme try that again! Mind if I have the name of the guy I'm shooting?!"
