Training Log 01: Shiny new powers

[crypddyd]

It's been a day- or something similar to it. After all, time seemed to be a weak thing here. But it's long enough that the pounding in his head from the attack under the Founation is... manageable. His ribs still ache, but he's not going to let that stop him- if Rei needed them to fight, then he would fight. Especially since he now remembered HOW to fight- a weak memory that came with a few other things. Like that fact that he might be royalty(?), but more useful was his skills with a weapon.

So he goes hunting for a big open area- and every other Executor he sees he mentions his intention: to train and test out these new powers. Eventually he finds what he's looking for: what probably was supposed to be a park, though it was slightly twisted like everything else here. But it was open enough that he probably wouldn't hit any non-combatants. A quick switch to his Executor uniform, massive black armor with a fur lined cloak, and he spins his bone spear like an expert.

How strange to have this knowledge but almost no context. Well, it is what it is. He wonders if any of the others will join him?

((ooc: feel free to tag amoung yourselves as well!))

[if they hadn't yelled they likely would have given Lion a NEW concussion. Thankfully he has just enough time to react, bellowing and turning just enough to grab their leg and just... chuck them off course. Between their momentum and his new apparently inhuman strength... well they might be for a bit of a flight]

[Kingslayer indeed goes flying through the air a remarkable distance. To their credit, they manage to come to a stop on their feet, and look up to "grin" at Lion.]

Shoulda known you'd see that coming! C'mon, let's do this for real!

[The knight slams their fist into their palm, covering themself in red lightning and summoning a sword of the same color... before hocking it at Lion point-first with remarkable precision.

As his eye is on the blade, Mordred charges low to the ground, seemingly going to tackle his legs. Just before both they and the sword arrive at their destination, the blade disappears and is resummoned into Kingslayer's hand, and they erupt upwards with explosive force and a vertical slash.]

[Kingslayer's attack is, honestly, genius. He can see the sword coming, of course, and jukes to the side. But then they charge- and he crouches, intending to meet them head on -

- then they suddenly have their sword and are thrusting up, and it's just too much for him to counter. He's strong, but he's not fast. He's slashed, though thanks to his armor he's not bleeding. But he does go flying back with a bellow.

He rolls to his feet, his armor having a big gouge in it... and he's grinning wildly.]

Very nice!

[pioailurophobia]

[Kingslayer presses their advantage, following closely on Lion's heels and bringing their sword down on him with massive force—although if he looks closely, he'll notice that they're not going for an actual killing blow, thankfully.]

I could say the same of you! You're holding out pretty damn well for fighting Saber.

BUT IT WON'T BE ENOUGH!

[They briefly relent on their assault, taking advantage of their comparatively diminutive height to dodge below his next attack, dash under his guard, and aim an impressively acrobatic high kick considering the amount of armor they're wearing at this jaw.]

[crypddyd]

[He blocks the first attack with the shaft of his lance, but his own weapon is meant for mid-range- so it's hard to use it well in this close-quarters melee. So he has to drop it to one hand in order to block their kick with his armored forearm.

He has to get some distance, or they were going to kick his ass. So once they land from their kick he attempts to body check them, trying to push them back with his greater bulk and enhanced power.]

[pioailurophobia]

[No matter how great Kingslayer's martial skill is or how heavily their armor reinforces their frame, one fact remains immutable: they are tiny compared to Lion. It follows that if they're body-checked at such a close range, they should go tumbling back.

But Lion has made one crucial mistake: assuming that Kingslayer's power wouldn't come into play.

A storm of red lightning flares around Kingslayer as they ram their shoulder into Lion with even more strength than the titan of a man can muster, aiming to knock him off balance. As he's reacting, they drop low, lashing out with a leg sweep before jumping back up, sending their knee hurtling towards Lion's chest with incredible force in an attempt to knock him down for good.]
