Fusion Fight: Demetri + Alexyana vs Connor + Ruby

[Ruby Rose]

The demon dragoness huffed heavily through her nostrils as she washed an analytical gaze over the atmosphere she had been placed in, deliberately ignoring the garbed man behind her, performing a similar act. However, their eyes not only scanned outwards and upwards... a glance downwards was all it took for a shiver to run down the thief's spine. The part-succubus only scoffed at her lack of wings; they would have been useful in attempting a freefall. They stood atop a slab-grey tower, surrounded by various like structures, both higher and shorter than their own. Down below, mist swamped the bottom; there was no telling if anyone was coming back from down there.

On an adjacent tower, a young girl with a red skirt and ebony hair that shimmered in the noon sun bounced around, rushing to the corners of her perch to discover the new world she had been placed in. However, her male partner seemed to be broiling over some deep memory as he gazed over the edge... what was it that was conceivably placing him in distress?

Such questions were given no time to be answered as a sudden, unnatural force caused the pairs to crash into each other, each collision emitting a blinding burst of light as they shifted and molded together into two new entities.

From posting this, there is a five day grace period where both pairs may converse and decide on features such as personality, look, etc. Posting may begin on Thursday 26th November, 12:00 am GMT, and the deadline is the following week, Thursday 3rd December, 12:00 am GMT.

Arena: Freefall - A landscape built entirely of large buildings. The sea of mist around their bases obscured all vision of how tall they really were. The sheer height alone seems to be sparking a particular memory in Connor... the two starting buildings are located a mere twenty meters from eachother, while the other random buildings are of varying distances.

[Undyne]

Here's what our combatant will be like:

Name: Demexyana

Eye color: Left Eye looks like Demetri’s (a piercing and analytical grey). Right eye looks like Alexyana’s: it has a black eyeball and yellow iris.

Skin color/texture: Smooth /color skin covers Demexyana's entire body, along with cyan lines. Due to the fusion channeling a lot of power at all times, they are constantly glowing. The skin looks “normal” in color and appearance, but is about as durable as well-made iron armor, and thus hard to penetrate.

Clothing: Demetri’s attire, in essence. Black leather armor that covers most of the body, not giving much protection but providing a flexible armor that allows for swift movement and acrobatics. This armor is spotted with various pockets in which Demexyana can store things. It also has a hole in the trousers, where Alexyana’s tail comes out of.

Hair, Horns (Defining features): Short, dark brown hair which is mostly covered by the hood Demexyana wears, but some strands as well as Alexyana’s red forehead strands peek through at the front.
There are two holes cut into the top of the hood, to allow Alexyana’s horns to poke through.

Demexyana now has a maw full of sharp teeth, a arrangment of claws on their hands, and a tail

Stats:
ATK: 6
DEF: 4
SPD: 5
TEC: 6

Weapons:

Chains: Due to the buff to Attack and Defense, the chains that Demexyana now uses have increased in link size and strength. The chain links are 2 inches thick and difficult to break. The mechanism which holds the chains has increased as well, taking up the whole forearm instead of just the wrist. The blade at the end has increased as well, large enough to be mistaken for a large dagger.

Satchel: Demexyana also has a large satchel now in which we can store enemy weapons and items.

Moves: Chains (Blade), Chomp, Deception, Dragon Bomb, Dragon Claws, Fire Storm, Heavy Slam, Magma Inferno, Pickpocket, Swordbreaker.
NOTE: Due to higher SPD and TEC, things such as Fire Storm and other “slow” attacks can be executed faster while keeping or even improving their overall strength.


Powers: Master Enhanced Senses, Insight, Master Acrobat, Stealth, Suppression

Demetri's got the first post

[The Rogue]

Name: Cuby Round

Appearance: Top half of clothing is Connor's Trench coat, but it is red with black trim, and with the boost in DEF they now have Connor's ballistic vest underneath, the bottom half of the clothing, at the dismay to Connor, is Ruby’s skirt and leggings. Their physique is pretty much a feminine version of Connor’s with a height of 5’3. Connor's hair style with Ruby’s red highlights. Ruby’s eye color.


Personality:
Since Connor is a dork, Ruby’s hyperness amplifies that and they can be a goofball and deadly in combat. They always has an ace up her sleeve to turn a gloomy situation on its head, and would do anything to help friends, family and those who can't help themselves. They are slightly blunt when it comes to dealing with unfamiliar phrases and words, or sometimes even taking ones she does know to heart, but with Connor’s rather vulgar insults, they can get into fights with in their own head. They still have Connor’s vocal tic (when he is pissed he slips into Arcadian ((a mash of Greek and Latin)))

Stats:
ATK: 5
DEF: 4
SPD: 6
TEC: 5

Profs and Powers: Combination of both
Moves: Crescent Rose, Lupa, Vortex Sprint, Black Dust Rounds.

Demitri still has first post, Ruby I hope this is good

[Demetri Malius]

As Demetri sized up the humanoid dragon in front of him, he felt a daunting form of magic around him, as if something was pushing him towards the female reptile. He had no memory of how he got there, and only remembered being somewhere not long ago, with sand all around him. He reached in his satchel and found some gauntlets, along with an arrangement of weapons. He seemed to have packed for the trip. The force around him suddenly became stronger,and he felt a sudden push forward, darkness surrounding him.

As his eyes opened, he felt taller and stronger. His body was different, but it also wasn't only his.

What the heck just happened?

A female voice. Upon further examination of his new body, it seemed that he had merged with the female dragon.

It seems to be that we shall be conjoined and sharing our physical attributes for the time being. An enemy that is in the same situation is not too far from us.

Hmm... The dragon took control of our body, examining her surroundings and taking in Demetri's words. The thief had already analyzed their opponent. They were fast, with a primary weapon appearing to be a scythe that could shoot projectiles.

You're pretty handy with detecting things. Since we are sharing a body, we should probably know each other's names. Mine is Alexyana.

The dragon was right. After all, it was most likely rude to be able to control someone's body without them at least knowing your name.

Demetri Malius.

Well, Demetri, I think we should give a nice welcome to our new 'friend' over there.

Agreed.

The newly fused duo grinned, showing a row of sharp teeth under their maw. Their smooth, scaly skin glittered through the haze as they looked at the buildings around them. Demexyana then slowly broke into a sprint to the edge of the skyscraper, the stomping of their merged legs stomping into the floor, echoing across the fog. With a heavy leap, they flipped off the building, disappearing into the mist. The sudden clinking of chains rang through the fog as the mist swirled around the dragon-thief, as they swung up on top of the building across from them. The foe before them wore a long trench-coat, as it was hard to decipher the gender of the person with the clashing of their two genders.

The dragon thief stood tall against its opponent as it issued a challenge.

"I don't know why we are here, or why were are merged with others, but one thing is certain...," the dragon-thief adjusted to a fighting stance, readying it's chains, "... the only we are getting out is by defeating you."

"I feel the same. Even though I don't want to have a reason to fight you, I get the feeling we don't have a choice."Their foe reacted the same, reaching under their skirt to reveal the bright red scythe, spinning it and slamming the hilt on the ground.

A moment of stillness held the two before they both rushed each other. Demexyana activated deception, pulling off to the side while the enemy was distracted. Not a second later, Cuby burst forward, closing the gap between them almost instantly as the clone was slashed in two, dissipating into nothingness.

Demexyana then launched a surprise attack from the side, slamming Cuby with a heavy slam from their tail, sending Cuby to the edge of their platform. The screeching of the scythe as it scraped against the cement roof caused both fighters to cringe as Cuby stopped a few feet from the edge.

Cuby immediately retaliated with a burst of five shots from Crescent Rose, with red powder puffing from the weapon with each bullet. The dragon-thief had barely enough time to recover a shield from their satchel as the first three hit, destroying the shield and allowing the final two to hit bare skin. Though the initial impact was nothing to fret about, the lingering burn afterwards was enough to cause concern.

By the time the burning sensation had settled in, Cuby quickly discovered a single chain rapped around Crescent Rose. A tug from Demexyana caused her to stumble, but she held fast to the weapon. Cuby quickly drew Lupa and held the trigger on the automatic weapon, emptying the clip into the enemy's direction.. Though most of the shots missed, it was enough to cause the dragon-thief to raise an arm in defense, the distraction Cuby needed in order to twist her scythe and slice the chain binding it.

"You're as sharp as your weapon. I respect such a formidable opponent."

"You're not so bad yourself. It's a shame we have to fight."

Demexyana used: Pickpocket item: shield. [1 shield, 5 daggers, 2 swords, and a spear remaining, as well as Ganandorf's Guantlets]

Connor looked at the young girl right next him and shook his head, ’Well I guess I have her on my team, maybe I can use her as a distraction, she doesn't seem like much’.

Then a bright flash surrounded them and they fused. Cuby looked at themself and then..'Hi!’, ’This is embarrassing!’, 'What why?’, ’I’m Foróntas éna GAMO FOUSTA!, ’Well you didn't have to cuss...and you rather go skirtless?’, ’Hell no, now let's focus, and they are already moving, well…, the Connor half thinks for bit, ’Ruby right? Okay let's use Crescent Rose, I’m driving but I need your instincts, ’Can do!’.

The draconian looking being grapples up to Cuby and once they are up, they speak first.

”I don't know why we are here, or why were are merged with others, but one thing is certain...," the draconian adjusted to a fighting stance, "... the only we are getting out is by defeating you."

Cuby smirks.

"I feel the same. Even though I don't want to have a reason to fight you, I get the feeling we don't have a choice." Cuby reaches under their skirt to reveal the bright red scythe, spinning it and slamming the hilt on the ground.

It all happens in blur, in the mix of Connor’s instinct and Ruby’s familiarity of the weapon left them with one of Crescent Rose’s and Lupa’s magazines expended and one of the the draconian’s chains cut.

"You're as sharp as your weapon. I respect such a formidable opponent."

"You're not so bad yourself. It's a shame we have to fight."

Cuby reloads both weapons as the draconian repairs their chains. They put in a magazine loaded with Cyan rounds.

Cuby finishes first, and acts first. Only having enough time to holster Lupa and grabs Crescent Rose. They dash to their opponent, leaving a trail of rose petals, Rose petals?!? Seriously?!?, Hey! It’s not like I can do anything about it!.

Demexyana looks up as soon as Cuby begins their slash with Crescent Rose, and leaps back out of the reach of the blade. Cuby smirks and pulls the trigger and discharges the entire capacity. Demexyana reacts quickly, and uses their breath weapon, Fire Storm. The resulting inferno destroyed several of the bullets, and reached Cuby, but one hit the draconian square in the chest, and the other at the top of the shoulder.

Cuby lands and jumps back, then realizes that their forearms are moderately burned. They look at their opponent, and realized that the chest and right arm are frozen solid.

The draconian looks at their frozen limb then at Cuby. They roar, and with sheer power, break some of the ice, restoring some use of the arm. Demexyana pulls out a short sword with several notches and rushes at Cuby.

Cuby uses a burst of speed to dodge. They spin Crescent Rose in their hands rather quickly, and trip the draconian with the curving blade. As Demexyana falls Cuby slashes downward, but the draconian uses their sword breaker to catch a part of the blade assembly. As it turns out Cuby was strong enough to get the tip of Crescent Rose’s blade assembly to stab into Demexyana’s useable arm.

Cuby jumps off of their opponent, but not before they were to break a part of Cuby’s scythe. Cuby loads in a magazine of black rounds. They turn to Demexyana and point Crescent Rose downward.

”What are you doing?"

Cuby smirks. "Meh, it’s time for a change of scenery."

They pull the trigger once, which launches them up, then point their weapon at the draconian, and fires again, which launches them to the next building. They land while Demexyana deals with the bullet of black Dust.

’Let's hide while we have the chance, so we can get the drop on them’, ’Good idea’. Cuby touches their thumb and pointer finger together, then turn invisible. They collapse Crescent Rose down and put it up behind them. They draw Lupa and hide amidst an Air conditioning unit.

"Gnh... the hell was that? They suddenly sped up?" Demexyana wondered while dodging the single black bullet, just enough for it to only scrape along her leg and leaving a mark. But that should not be too hard to handle. "Must be some trick they had up their sleeve with those... things they put into their transforming weapon." She brushed off what remained of the ice on her arm while simultaneously keeping an eye on Cuby just in time to see them disappear into nothingness. Another one of these? She closed her eyes in an effort to sniff them out. Which, as it turned out, was much more potent than what the dragoness was used to.
That your powers... Demetri?
Yes, but they reach farther than what I'm used to.
Must be our combined senses. What a weird place... anycase, I got them. Let's... She clenched her fists and prepared to go for Cuby, but Demetri stopped her.
Wait! Don't throw away our advantage. They don't know that we can sense them. We can use that.
Alexyana was about to reply when she realized she could just poke through Demetri's thoughts as they were merged, and grinned a bit. Rather than charging straight ahead as she had intended, Demexyana crouched and put a hand on the ground, using Demetri's Deception to create a clone of herself whilst simultaneously turning invisible. She sent the clone off in one direction, perpendicularly to Cuby, and moved in the other direction herself. The clone drew Cuby's attention before dispersing after some five seconds, and by the time they realized that they'd been tricked Demexyana was long gone. "What...?" their fused form whispered, too low for Demexyana to hear, but they already knew where their opponent was.
Had it been Demetri and someone lighter in this fusion, chances are they would have landed a brutal stealthed hit. But, Alexyana was a 250 kilo dragon which had transitioned to their fused form, and as much as Demetri might be versed in stealthy approaches, the footsteps of a being of Demexyana's size just were a little too much to conceal, and Cuby heard their opponent sneaking up just in time to re-draw Crescent Rose in its scythe form and block Demexyana's two claws when she brought them down for her attack. This caused both of them to break out of Stealth, becoming visible to each other again while they tried to gain the upper hand. But Cuby’s advantage was being mitigated by Demexyana being able to push down from above, so neither of them were getting anything accomplished – until Demexyana brought her tail around to slam it into Cuby’s side, but Cuby used the handle of her Crescent Rose to block that as well, though it caused them to be pushed back and break the stand-down in the process. "So you can stealth too?" She asked but when Demexyana didn’t reply she drew Lupa again and lined up a shot from close range.
Demexyana dodged the incoming fire by jumping behind the Conditioning system that Cuby had remained hidden behind until moments ago but got another few bullets passing over her leg and leaving marks, causing her to grit her teeth. How did they get so fast? Damnit… When Cuby followed around the obstacle Demexyana dodged once more, this time avoiding the shots entirely whereas Cuby was forced to reload her weapon, interrupting the fight for long enough that they had a little time to think. They had some range advantage, but it was too risky to go into melee range with how fast and powerful they were right now. But surely they couldn’t keep it up forever?
They put some item into their Scythe earlier. We could try to steal it from them, or at least make it unusable. Demetri suggested.
You got some interesting tricks up your sleeve, Demetri… I’ll give you that. Alexyana admitted and chuckled. Demexyana got ready for her next move, waiting for Cuby, and the moment that she had reloaded and came around the corner of the Conditioner Unit she flipped backwards and kicked the Glock out of their hand, sending it flying straight upwards. Turning the kick into a full backflip, Demexyana used the momentum to gain a little distance while Cuby leapt after the weapon to get back in the fight, once again entering stealth and backing away from the Unit. Perfect. But the plan wasn’t done yet… when Cuby landed and looked around in search of her opponent Demexyana lined up a shot with her chains, aiming for the Crescent Rose on Cuby’s back. That thing was what made them stronger, wasn’t it? Then she’d just have to “borrow” it.

[Ruby Rose]

A sharp tug yanked at Cuby's hind, and the merged duo swung around in a tight arc, tangling a thick, powerful arm around the rust-coloured chain attempting to snag Crescent Rose. Cuby groped at the series of bronze links with his free hand and anchored his feet into the concrete below. The two amalgamations thus entered a duel of pure brute force, a deadly tug of war over a weapon.

Alright! Come on, Connor! Use those strong muscles!

Oh, quiet for a moment, please.

Sooooorryyyyy...

Although Cuby's muscles were well-toned and kept the combined body in place, the ludicrous power of the dragon before them began to drag their feet through the concrete - yes, THROUGH the concrete. Diminutive chunks of slate-grey debris spattered as the draconic thief reeled the chain in. Cuby would be met with a nasty blow to the face if he continued to fight his fruitless battle...

Connor, let go!

What? Excuse me?!

It's alright, I have a backup plan.

Cuby sighed, shutting his eyes momentarily behind his scarlet lenses.

I hope you know what the heck you're doing, kid.

Oh, don't worry, I've got this in the bag!

The hulking figure across the pillar was sent careening towards the edge of the minuscule arena as all tension in the chain was eliminated. A chain pierced the grey floor, shattering the immediate area around, and swung the draconic assassin around to safety. The duo gained much more ground to stand on - and not to mention had a sleek, new, crimson scythe in hand.

"Well, would you look at that?" The fusion mused, scanning the weapon thrice over. She began spinning the crescent weapon slowly, her face falling to a frown as she discovered no sign of special ammunition. "Pleasant..." She growled, a short puff of smoke pluming from her jaw in frustration.

On the other side of the scales, Cuby was flicked around as Crescent Rose was ripped from his back, and he slammed heavily into the ground. A loud thud resounded from the downed gunfighter as his forehead smacked the concrete floor. "Gah, damn it..." Cuby cursed as he picked himself up, struggling to orientate himself.

Jeez, no need to curse... Ruby scolded teasingly. The scarlet girl took temporary control of the united body, Connor gladly stepping back to mentally recover. With the well-needed swap, Ruby's vision of the world happened to become much clearer than Connor's after the concussion.

Well, take it from here; we're disarmed, Connor complained, sounding somewhat pained.

Yeah, yeah, I got this... Ruby sighed as she began to focus on their body, closing Cuby’s eyes as she meditated. Images flashed through her mind of an older female - possibly twenty or so - with long, scarlet, waist-length hair, a dazzling crimson dress and most prominently; a thin, rosy scythe, with a blade crafted from heat and light.

Connor took control once more and looked himself over; the skirt and tights had become the lower part of a dress, a silver and red cross was lain around his neck and a crimson cage-like contraption sat at his rear. Turning his head sharply, it was evident that his hair had grown somewhat, as it swept across his shoulders like a cloak.

Heh, neat trick, Ruby. I guess I have to give you credit for that, Connor praised the girl, and she scoffed jestingly in response.

Hey, I told you I knew what I was doing! She retorted, before Cuby swept the cage structure outwards into a long, thin staff. From the cage emanated a humming blade of heat and light. "I guess it's time to kick some butt!" The combined voices of Ruby and Connor burst forth from Cuby's mouth.

-----

"Oh... no..." The dragon thief complained after wheeling around, scythe in hand. Although she had stolen Cuby's weapon, they had only gone ahead and crafted another! "This isn't good..."

The garbed reptile shivered in slight fear at the sight of the laser-like blade curving from the complicated mechanism Cuby held in his toned mitts. Sure, the fantasy creature had a contraption that functioned as a blade and a firearm (something neither party had any notable experience in)... but the opponent had a bloody lightsaber scythe! Of course, that wasn't the association the dragoness used, but along similar lines at least.

"Right... if we want any chance of taking him- er, her- um... whatever it is down, we need to figure out how to use this thing..." The reptilian rogue contemplated. She took a gander around the weapon, attempting to find some kind of switch... maybe it was-

BANG

Strands of crimson and ebony slowly drifted into a pile by Cuby's left foot. He raised a hand to the side of his head to feel the loss of hair and sighed in exasperation. “Well… that happened.”

[Demetri Malius]

Both opponents stood in an awkward moment of silence as the shot echoed out into the mist.

Pardon, but perhaps you should let me take control in the handling of this weapon.

Yeah, that's probably best

Demetri focused on controlling their body. It was his turn now. As he felt the power from the weapon slowly seep away, he knew that he wouldn't have much time with it. He twirled it for a moment in with his hands, getting comfortable with the feel of it. It was nice. Someday, he hoped to be able to create a weapon as graceful and elegant as this, but now was not the time.

"AI must say, this is a rather unique tool you have here. I truly wish I could keep it for myself, but I don't believe I can at the moment. However, I can still use it to defeat you." With a smirk, Demexyana allowed a deceptive clone to rush forward as he rushed in an arc around his opponent.

"It takes someone with a lot of skill to use Crescent Rose, don't overestimate yourself buddy."

Her new weapon quickly folded as she dashed to the side, sending a few shots from the weapon's small firearm form. The clone quickly tried to dodge, but the the last shot was well aimed and caught it in the shoulder, immediately causing it to dissipate and join the mist in the air.

As soon as the image vanished, Cuby glanced around, soon finding her target a good distance away. She narrowed her eyes, raising her pistol in a defensive stance.

" Why keep your distance, scared or something?" The red-clothed prime fusion burst forward, rapidly approaching their enemy but keeping an eye out for tricks. She quickly sprayed either side with a flurry of pistol rounds before expanding her scythe.

"Nah, just splitting up." Her eyes widened when suddenly, five opponents then rushed back at her. She quickly swung her scythe in a wide arc, gripping the handle with all her strength as she covered as large of an area as possible. One enemy was caught in the attack, ripping in half while quickly dissolving into dust. Clones, of course.

The other four surrounded her, as two pushed for an attack. Cuby quickly kicked off of one and swung at the other, cutting through another clone while the first attacker stumbled back.

"Gotcha."

The remaining two then tried two push forward, attacking Cuby, but she stood there as their own copied scythes hit and dissipated, causing no damage as the rest of the image soon faded as well.

Got any more tricks sneaky man?

They are too fast, our deception will not have much affect. However, I can get creative, don't worry.

Another smirk came across the dragon-thief's face.

"Well then, enough of that. It seems to already know most of my tricks," Demexyana called out, readying Crescent Rose. "But let's see how you fare against your own."

With a sudden whip of his arm, Demexyana threw Crescent Rose to his foe, while readying his chain with the other. Cuby quickly ducked under the spinning weapon, priming her own in the process. A chain shot forward, piercing the mist, but missed Cuby entirely. With a smile, she took her chance and swung her weapon at the dragon-thief legs. The thief tried to jump, but his new figure was not nimble enough to evade the full attack, as the blade scraped up his calf, drawing blood.

Then, at the edge of her vision, Cuby saw a flash of red. Some internal sense cautioned her as she tried to move out of the way, but she had seen it too late.

Crescent Rose was pulled through the air by the chain, and struck her shoulder, causing a deep cut before returning to her attacker's hand. She had to admit, that was clever. Before she could dwell on her injury, the dragon-thief had already begun a follow up attack, swing Crescent Rose up to her. Cuby quickly parried the blade, at the cost of becoming off balanced. Demexyana quickly slammed the hilt of the weapon on the ground and kicked forward, dealing a blow to Cuby's chest at the cost of searing pain from their own injury being stretched. A crack sounded from the weapon as it began to bend under the weight.

Cuby was knocked back, but quickly found her footing. She grimaced and shot back at her opponent her, speed doubled as she then executed a lightning fast combo in retaliation. After an exchange of blows, both parties prepared a final strike, before the two scythes clashed together. Metal flew through the air as the stolen one crash and shattered, the blade flung over the edge from inertia.

[The Rogue]

’Crescent Rose!.’, Ruby whined in their shared mind, ’We’re faster with 2.0, plus pistols are not too hard to use’, Connor argued. Both fusions were panting.

”C’mon, let's get this over with”, Cuby barked as they leapt at their opponent. Demexyana raised their forearms and Cuby landed right on top of them. Cuby smirked and started slashing at their opponent, rapidly cutting and leaving some of the wounds burned on the succubi-draconian-prince-thief’s arms. Cuby uses this time to jump off and land doing a backflip in the air and landing with ease.

Demexyana roars and charges, meanwhile Cuby transforms 2.0 into pistol form, putting it into a reverse grip, so they can use the top as a slashing weapon. Cuby fires, missing a few shots but hitting the center mass of the charging draconian with a few rounds. They try to roll away from their opponent, but they misjudge the timing and got their ankle trampled.

“Och! aftó ponáei!”, Cubt says loudly. They stand and test their weight on the foot. It’s sore but doesn't hurt quite too much.

The draconian prince thief takes this distraction and trips Cuby with their tail. Cuby falls backwards and starts to reload 2.0. They slap in a magazine of Brown Dust Rounds just as they land. They bring it up to fire and start squeezing the trigger, emptying the magazine at their opponent. who raises their arm in an X shape in response. The denser bullets pierce the more solid parts of the arm, while tearing through the sides of the arm.

Cuby pushes off a raised part of the roof and slides away from their opponent. During the the slide they start to summon in Lycöan as Demexyana tries to chain grab them. The chains hit, but miss their mark, crushing parts of the roof. After every miss the chains rattle back to be soon launched again.

Cuby comes to a stop at the edge of the building, Lycöan and 2.0 in hand. 2.0 in sythe mode and Lyöan has it's ECC on. Cuby and Demexyana charge at each other, Cuby fires Lycöan. The bullets occasionally smack against the chains, missing quite a bit, though one out of the bunch hits Demexyana in the shoulder. As Demexyana shoots her chains at Cuby, Cuby uses 2.0 light blade to cut the chains. They meet each other and go into close quarter combat. The sound and glow of the chains being either cut or smacked echoes throughout the rooftops.

Cuby lands a few more hits on Demexyana as the thick chains smack against Cuby’s already injured ankle and across their back. The two fighters split and try to catch their breath.

Cuby Round has used: 2.0; Brown rounds and Sythe mode, Lycöan, burst movement

"Fhh... this is getting annoying, they are too fast and keeping us at range with their weapons." Alexyana mumbled.

"And they know about my chains. They won't let us steal their weapons again." Demetri added.

"Then let's stop messing around. We got to bring the fight to them! Let me do that for a bit, my specialty’s close combat." Demetri nodded and withdrew from their shared body for a bit – not withdrawing entirely, but ready to help. Demexyana then raised their hands and shot out the chains, which both missed Cuby entirely and dug into the ground left and right behind them, sticking out next to them both. Cuby raised the Lyöcan weapon, aiming to hit at a distance, when Demexyana retracted both chains and used them as hooks to pull themselves in. The problem was that this way their body was mostly exposed to Cuby’s attack, and the latter was able to land two shots with Lyöcan before being forced to block the incoming kick with Crescent Rose 2.0 as dodging wasn’t possible with the chains on either side of them. Demexyana sent them backwards, almost to the edge of the pillar they were on, but Cuby caught themselves before things could get critical. Demexyana followed right up, getting as close as they could and punching Cuby repeatedly with little technique or finesse, forcing them to block using the hilt of Crescent Rose 2.0 and unable to attack themselves as getting knocked back might just knock them off the edge of the pillar. Demexyana peppered them with straight punches for almost an entire minute before shifting their weight to go for a stronger kick, which Cuby noticed however.

”There!” they yelled and leapt backwards, slashing Crescent Rose 2.0 into the pillar’s surface and using it as leverage to fling themselves around and back onto the pillar, whilst Demexyana nearly lost her balance from the missed kick – but Demetri saved them with one of his chains shot into the ground to pull them back.

"Be careful! You want to get us both killed?"

"My bad. I didn’t expect them to recover this soon."

"They’re skilled and nimble on their toes… we have a fair chance but not if you mess us up again."

Cuby needed a moment to pull their Crescent Rose 2.0 back out of the rock, which gave Demexyana enough time to recover and hurry away from the edge, retract the chain and shoot it back out at them, only to have it deflected with ease. Now that they saw it coming that trick was getting useless as well. And their stealth? Cuby could by now tell when something was fishy.

"Let’s see about this then..." Demexyana mumbled and raised their fist which got an eerie blue glow around it.

”What’re you going to do?"

"I’ll brute-force my way through their defense. My Dragon Bomb takes up a lot of energy but if we can hit their scythe the resulting energy blast ought to snap its handle in half so they can’t use it anymore. If we can secure the advantage in close quarters we’ll be able to win, their ranged weapons aren’t useful enough when too close to us."

Meanwhile, Cuby raised the Lyöcan once again, aimed and fired one shot, then another, but Demetri helped Alexyana out by rapidly moving and dodging, making the bullets miss the torso and only leave scrapes on their arm and shoulder – though granted, they were painful. Then Demexyana shot another chain forward, forcing Cuby to use Crescent Rose 2.0 to block it, whilst coming running straight after it and throwing their fist forward, attempting to hit either Cuby or Crescent Rose 2.0 with it.

[Ruby Rose]

Oh no! Ruby exclaimed in Cuby's shared mind, mentally screwing her eyes shut. The dragon thief was gaining ground quickly, not to mention there wasn't one, but TWO attacks they had to deal with. Ruby, stay calm, I've got this. Let me take control, Connor reassured her, and with a squeak the reigns were handed to the gunman. Smirking, he tossed his firearm into the air, misdirecting his opponent's focus for the mere few seconds he required to summon his small ceramic dagger. As the chain was a sliver away from Cuby's abdomen, he swung his blade across, batting the chain with it. Of course, from the brittleness of the weapon, it shattered upon contact, but the chain was out of the way and now the glowing, azure arm was their only trouble.

I'm sorry for this, Ruby, Connor apologized, teasing a squeak from the Huntress girl.

No, Connor, what are you-!

CRACK

As the sapphire fist collided with Crescent Rose, the lightweight shaft shattered into two halves, taking the brunt of the blow, but nonetheless Cuby was sent screaming through the air. He tumbled along the ground for half a dozen meters before landing neatly back onto his feet, barely keeping his balance as his heels eased over the edge of the pillar.

NO! Crescent Rose! What have you done, Connor?! Ruby screeched at her partner, a growl easing into her voice. We already lost the first... now the second?! What is wrong with you?!

In five... four... three... two... one... Connor counted down calmly. And here we go...

The panting Cuby keeled forwards, hands against the cement pillar. Violently shaking hands connected the shattered scythe together and a crimson energy engulfed the entire structure. The sky began to darken, the sun rapidly descended to dusk, and then to night as the moon rose and took its position, overthrowing it as if executing regicide. The mass of scarlet, popping light in Cuby's hands morphed and flew into the air, shooting back down with a score of red spears, drawn directly from the moon. The ruby rain cascaded around Cuby, surrounding him in a blood red aura. His face slowly rose and his irises had become pure white, devoid of all emotion, instead replaced by primal rage.

"Oh... my..." The amalgamation across from the newly born animal groaned in fear. "What have we done...?"

A scythe of scarlet energy grew from Cuby's right arm, and before little more spectacle could occur upon the tower, the berzerker rushed in, slashing straight across the thief's chest, slicing a deep trench as easily as he might have cut a twig. He followed with a cross punch from his left fist, which was caught on the reptilian's forearm, resulting in an echoing crack as something broke within. A flurry of kicks ensued, allowing the opponent little time to react to the onslaught. More scythe slashes resulted in blood gushing out onto the pillar below, an unstoppable torrent of scarlet. Cuby managed to include a couple of grapples just to increase the pain he dealt out, grasping the fantasy creature's body and driving elbow, foot and knee alike into her already devastated body.

As Cuby went in to attempt an execution, his face was met with a scaly dragon fist; he might have had the strength and speed to slay a thousand men, but his resistance to damage was as little as it were before. As he felt his nose shatter, he was sent flying backwards, only to land once more.

The distance gave both duos time to charge up. The dragon's body glowed a vibrant sapphire, while Cuby sat down in a position reminiscent of a runner, before launching off at high speed, darting to the fully charged, explosive dragon thief.
