Round 2: The Cat and the Rabbit [Katsura vs. Coolmon]
|
Post by Katsura Ise on May 17, 2018 20:14:12 GMT
Nyao was currently tripping as an aftershock of Hypersonic Wave, nothing bad but it wasn't going to do her anything good either. Nyao removed her paws from her ears and watched Coolmon transform. Surprisingly Nyao had the manners not to interrupt an opponent in the middle of their transformation sequence and a moment later she stood before a giant rabbit. Now Nyao was excited anew over this fight. "Great! Now I don't have to hold back as much anymore. Katsura, are you ready?"
Well Katsura couldn't see much to argue about not only was this supposed to be a fighting tournament but through inaction Coolmon had given consent to take the battle to the next level.
Katsura closed her eyes and clung her tag with her Crest of loyalty in her hands like a religious symbol. A beam of data shot out from her digidevice and hit her tag from there it was magnified and the beam then struck Nyao. Once the beam hit Nyao she was engulfed in light and started to grow large and humanoid.
"Blackgatomon digivolve to... Ladydevimon."
A tall angel of darkness stepped out from the light and the cat was nowhere to be seen.
The dark angel crackled her head from side to side, then she stretched her arms along her back.
"Aaah about time I got back in this form, it's one of my favorites. Did you know that?" Back to the seriousness, Nyao stood facing Coolmon with her arms crossed, they were now roughly the same height. What will Coolmon do during this round?

"No. I did not know that. I am not exactly holding back either, nor have I really used this form a lot. So, I apologize if this is...sloppy? Sloppy. Let's go with that." Coolmon felt on edge. She felt really, really on edge in this form...How should she start this off...
Coolmon slowly reared her arm back, as her body appeared to harden. She didn't say anything. That was for later. But, she was gathering power. Power to smash. Not really, but she was rearing up for something. If Nyao took advantage of the fact Coolmon didn't appear to be moving at all and attacked? She'd find herself faced with an Antylamon that's literally as hard as Chrome Digizoid.
And a lot worse.

Coolmon starts off with...!

"It's okay, it takes time to get used to a new form and avoid causing too much trouble for others." Nyao waited patiently on Coolmon to be ready for combat, the first thing Nyao noticed was that Coolmon was rearing his hand back. Maybe she was preparing for something? Who knows. Well this was supposed to be fight and there's not much action in just staring and talking. "You're not going to attack me? Well I suppose I should start the party then. Hope you're ready." And on that note Nyao raised her large left arm and slashed the air between her and Coolmon. "Darkneeeeeess waveeeeeeee!" And out from the hand came a concentrated wave of dark energy shaped like bats and they were now flying towards Coolmon! Through in hindsight this may not hurt Coolmon that much right now since her body currently is as hard as chrome digi-zoid. But you know, ouch? "Your turn" Nyao let her hands rest on her hips, on first glance from her posture and speaking you might get the impression Nyao wasn't taking this seriously but a confident glint in her eyes revealed that maybe she knew something Coolmon didn't? Maybe... She was up to something?
Nyao attacked with Darkness wave, this was a concentrated attack as opposed to a wide attack.
Darkness Wave: Creates a wave of darkness in the shape of bats that either harms as many as 3 targets dealing a fair amount of damage or seriously harm one target with a concentrated wave.

The thing about the Arm Bomber technique for Coolmon was simple. While she could not move, her defenses were at their best thanks to the power every Antylamon seemed to have over their body composition.
This did not protect you from dark energy, however. Sure, on the physical level, Coolmon was fine. Chrome Digizoid was a very hard substance. She was equal to that. But. The wave -hurt.- It hurt her very soul. It felt like she was being torn at the seams.
Yet Coolmon endured, not balking under the darkness, and with a cry of...
"Arm Bomber!"
She leapt forwards, unleashing her stored power as a huge blow, a punch from her hand, aimed square at Nyao. The worst that could happen was that the Devimon subspecies would fly off. Which...wasn't really that bad? But it would be an annoyance.

"Oh there we go." Nyao sad calmly not ceasing her confident smile one bit despite hearing Coolmon's attack and now seeing her charging. And she ran towards Nyao with impressive speed, then Nyao made a brief grin once they were close.
"Mhm"
Assisted by her wings and avian status, Nyao leaped up at the rabbit using her as a stepping stone. With her hands planted solid at Coolmon's shoulders, and consequently dragging Coolmon towards the dirt due to focusing her entire body weight on said shoulders, Nyao jumped over Coolmon in a straddle. But Nyao did not land, no instead she sat off flying high up while spinning to ensure that by the time she was done taking off she would be hovering in the air, facing Coolmon. Then Nyao slashed the air between them and a wide swarm of bats made of dark energy flew towards not just Coolmon but also her left and right. It won't hurt as much this time but instead Nyao had made it harder to dodge. While watching whether Coolmon would get hit or not, Nyao calmed down once again.
"Those kind of attacks needs build up to work. Usually they are just for show or bargaining chips. At the very least restrain your opponent ahead. Combat is so much more than hitting each other on the head. Now normally I'd have launched my big guns right now but I promised Katsura to play nice." "Nyao, you mean?"
Nyao sent Katsura a happy wink. "Oh I listen, you also taught me the benefits of indirect fighting. Also, this form is smoking hot"
Katsura smiled proudly at Nyao, while she shock her head at Nyao's bad pun.
Nyao jumped over Coolmon and is now hovering in the air.Nyao attacked with darkness wave again, this time with a wide attack (Coolmon is the center target)

Coolmon felt annoyance. Not necessarily the best thing in the world to be feeling in this kind of form. She missed. And now Nyao was in the air. She had to move. So she got moving, dashing forward. She felt faster. Which was a good thing! Her left and her right were at risk, but forwards and backwards seemed okay. And she did -not- want to be on the receiving end of whatever pain that attack caused.
Once she was in the clear, she turned, circling around LadyDevimon and leapt upwards, her forearms turning into bladed instruments! She was mostly aiming to get Nyao grounded again, so when she got near the LadyDevimon, she swung her arms for her wings!

The more annoyed Coolmon became the more amused Nyao was, was this what she meant by other aspects of combat than actual fighting? Either way Nyao watched in excitement Coolmon trying to avoid getting hit. "Good one, Coolmon." Nyao decided to pay attention to the fight once again to see what Coolmon was planning. Coolmon started to circle around Nyao while having axes instead of arms. Circling was a strategy Nyao was familiar with, in fact this was a key component to many of Nyao's victories such as the Aaron/Bones fight. Now being on the receiving end Nyao remembered the important part of such a move. Get your opponent confused and attack them from behind. Right this was how Nyao used to fight as a gatomon and apparently Katsura's fighting style as well. Nyao turned her head around trying to counter the circling. For a while this complicated Coolmon's circling and forced Coolmon to waste much important energy running around in circles. Eventually though Nyao was destinated to make a mistake turning right when Coolmon turned right too, not spinning her head fast enough to keep looking without breaking her own neck, dizziness. A lot of things could go wrong for Nyao in the long run and eventually Coolmon managed to reach Nyao's back.
Nyao could only just barely manage to look behind her back in time to acknowledge the attack.
"Nyao! Get away from there!" Katsura screamed hysterically. The combination of paying attention and Katsura's yelling convinced Nyao to bail. Once Nyao was certain Coolmon was too much in the air to steer, she turned gass-like. Suddenly Nyao accelerated fast, a grayish line was drawn on the sky as Nyao flew all the way back to the beginning of the east wing. Right below the hyperventilating Katsura.
"Did you just try to cut off my wings? That's crossing a line, do you want me to fight for real?"
Nyao fought hard to counter the circling.Following Katsura's yelling Nyao decided to rage quits flies back to the eastern wing. Nyao used Shadow Rush to pull that off.
Shadow rush [RAM Upgrade]: A variant of gas-form, Nyao turns semi-corporal with most limbs turning into gas eliminating friction and smaller obstacles from the calculation. For one post, Nyao can achieve a high speed. This form is difficult to control, let alone steer. It is recommended for Nyao to spend the most time running in a straight line. She is allowed to fly in this form though. CD: 3 Posts.
Cooldowns: Shadow Rush (0/3)

Coolmon found that cutting at gas was actually a real difficult endeavor, yet she felt like she had accomplished what she was planning to do. As Nyao retreated (in gaseous form, no less) the Antylamon landed and rolled forward before standing upright and turning towards her. "No. I was cutting into them in order to debilitate flight. There's a distinct difference, y'know. Besides, you wouldn't look as cool without wings."
She hadn't been attacked yet. Perhaps there was time to...Yes. Maybe it was time to exercise the vocal cords. She inhaled, before she shouted...
"When two tribes go to war, One is all that you can score!" And just like that, Antylamon gained a rather sinister aura around her.

Coolmon landed and sang a song to boost her offensive capabilities further!
War Song: The next evolution of the Pep Talk. Antylamon yells out some words that somehow constitute a song. She and her allies gain a 25% increase in offensive power for three turns! With a three post cooldown. This also only really counts for people in earshot.

Nyao was less impressed by Coolmon's talking skills, it sounded to her more like excuses than an apology for taking the fight too far. While Coolmon was speaking Nyao landed on the ground, as result of her escape there was now a distance again. Nyao allowed Coolmon to speak even achieving her battle aura, but something was different in her eyes. Nyao was serious and yet disappointed, she even sent Katsura a pitying glance before speaking to Coolmon. "I warned you, don't forget that. Why do you think, I have only thrown bats at you so far? There are certain abilities and certain strategies I usually refrain from using. But as of now you're leaving me no choice, I'm so sorry Katsura." "Sigh, please don't hurt Coolmon too bad." It was a very conflicted Katsura who reluctantly gave Nyao more freedom in the combat.
"Here it comes"
And yet Nyao just hovered a couple of inches above the ground, she was waiting for Coolmon. Nyao had predicted that Coolmon would run towards her any time now and was in fact counting on it. Once Coolmon had crossed the line between the eastern and the west wing Coolmon would notice a red light coming forming in her eyes. And that's just the tip of the iceberg; from that point on as long as Coolmon keeps eye contact with Nyao she won't see a Ladydevimon instead she would see her worst nightmare had taken Nyao's place.
Nyao is preparing Eyes of Dread for the occasion of Coolmon approaching.
Cooldowns: Shadow Rush (1/3)
Buff/debuff:
Eyes of dread (0/5)
Eyes of Dread: Nyao's eyes glows bloody red for 5 posts. During these posts anyone who looks her into the eyes will get lucid hallucinations of a far more terrifying form (as an example, for an arachnophobe Nyao could appear as a 10 foot spider queen of a black widow variant with exaggerated scary features) the target, in theory, should be intimated of Nyao if they gain eye contact. Nyao is free to move as she pleases and as long as the eye contact is maintained, the hallucination will upheld itself. Doesn't prevent retaliation should the target overcome the fear. No matter the realism of the hallucinations, this is not shapeshifting, only an illusion. The form is tailored to the victim by taking advantage of their greatest fear within their subconscious. (cool down 3 posts) Has no effect on digimon above ultimate level

Coolmon felt like Nyao had been taking things a little...well, too seriously? She wasn't intending to hurt her -that- bad......
Well, all was fair in love and war. Except she didn't feel that way towards Nyao. Pretty sure, at least. "Those bats hurt my insides." She mumbled as she kept her distance. And then...
She made the mistake of looking Nyao in the eyes. In that instant, there wasn't a LadyDevimon.
There wasn't even a field for her.
There was only nothing, and a purple, jester-like being with eerie yellow eyes and a grin that could make a baby die inside.
A Cherubimon. Notably around it's fingers was an...earthy scarf.
Yeah, Coolmon was hallucinating a Cherubimon instead of Nyao. Must be a very particular worst fear to possess, honestly. And...Rather than fear, it sent Coolmon into a desperate and -terrified- frenzy, the Antylamon suddenly leaping forth at Cherubinyao "DEVIL'S DANCE!" It was likable to a cornered beast attempting it's last stand. So...basically, the intended effect but also not quite.
She span and swung her axe arms to and fro at her target. She just wanted it to disappear, please.

Nyao hadn't been completely honest, not to Coolmon, not to herself. Honestly Nyao still didn't want to hurt Coolmon by fighting for real but with all said and done Nyao didn't feel like she could afford not to step up her game. Antylamon was simply a bit too dangerous and out of control for her taste and it got worse once her eyes of dread took effect. In a life threatening situation where fear is taking over usually you can only choose between fight and flight, clearly Coolmon choose fight. As Coolmon went full out berserk by swinging her axe arms around Nyao timed her counter just right to give Coolmon the satisfaction of "poofing" her own nightmare. Apparently one attack was all it took to bring down Nyao and reduce her to a cloud of gas that was now all over Coolmon. As Coolmon ceased the attack she would notice that the gas lingered and something was holding their arms around her shoulders from behind. It was Nyao who had reformed in just the right place and time to suplex Coolmon. But Nyao was troubled, she knew now just how to push Coolmon's buttons it would be so easy for her to destroy Coolmon and reduce the rabbit to a blabbering crying mess easily winning the fight, right now. But... What kind of friend would do such a thing? With sincere worry in her voice Nyao stalled just long enough to speak from her heart to Coolmon.
"Maybe we should slow down, go back to champion? I don't think you're ready yet." If Coolmon won't calm down, Nyao would go through with suplexing Coolmon towards the ground
Buffs/debuff:Eyes of dread (1/5)
Cooldowns:
Shadow Rush (2/3) Gas form (0/2)
Nyao avoided the attack using Gas-form
Nyao tries talking some sense into the rabbit.
If all else fails Nyao is about to suplex Coolmon
Gas form: (counter/active ability) Nyao turns into a cloud of black smoke reminiscent of extinguished fire. Being incorporeal, Nyao can dodge most attacks as they will literally hit the air. Nyao must decide how she intends to re-manifest no later than the following post (pose, location etc.) Nyao's control over the form is limited to maintaining her mass: Nyao has no control over such things like wind, however the cloud will always reassemble its pieces if torn apart. Being a sentient cloud, Nyao is unable to do anything at all except maintaining mass or re-manifesting. (cool-down 2 posts counted from re-manifestation)

Fear was a very effective weapon when used appropriately, and all things considered, it had been. Yet Coolmon had managed to destroy the illusion, tearing the Cherubimon to a fine mist of data.
It reminded her of herself somehow.
Maybe that's why it scared her. Once she landed, the rabbit just hunched forward as clarity returned to her, a figurative cold sweat washing over her. "...I don't...know what else to do..." She murmured in response to Nyao. Her rage had subsided for now. She was more...disoriented? No, no. She sounded like she was light-headed. In time the Antylamon became enveloped in data before she shrank back down to the form of Pucchiemon.
A very scared-looking Pucchiemon.
Coolmon degenerates. RIP buffs for now!

It was a great relief to not only Nyao but also Katsura to see this situation de-escalate into something more manageable. Especially for Katsura, who feared that yet another fight would end up serious and possibly traumatizing for her. She let out a sigh of relief upon watching Coolmon go back to champion and Nyao followed suit a second later where yet another cloud of smoke appeared. When the cloud disappeared Nyao the blackgatomon was back. "Much better, if it helps you my eyes can only do illusions,. It's not real." "Sigh, at least this time she stopped."
On a strategic viewpoint this stand off was looking good for Katsura and Nyao, Nyao has far more experience and excess power than Coolmon, for Coolmon being ultimate would most likely be energy consuming but for Nyao who regularly goes mega this was child's play. There's also the actual turnout of the fight, while Coolmon was repeatedly hit by dark energy and having what looks like a brief slip of sanity Nyao was relatively fine for now. The question right now is, how will this end?

Coolmon needed a moment. Badly. "...That felt real. That nightmare felt...so real..." She mumbled. It was less sanity slippage and more genuine panic and fear that had set into the 'mon. The Pucciemon slowly stood up, holding a hand out as though to say time-out for now please.
Okay, okay. She took some hits during that scuffle...So she wasn't doing so good.
Okay.
Maybe she needed to play defensively for now until Nyao inevitably slipped up. That cat couldn't last much longer if she just put pressure on, right? Unfortunately, too many hypotheticals had been racing through Coolmon's mind. Plus, it felt cold and her head hurt...

Coolmon looked like she could use a break in the fight as a matter of fact she soon signaled an outright timeout. For various reasons such as this being a professional friendly competition rather than mere street fight Katsura and Nyao felt no choice but to honor the request. And just like that an official time-out ensued. "Just take your time." And thus Nyao walked back to Katsura, who kneeled before her to reach. After a short petting and offering a bottle of water, Katsura spoke to Nyao.
"Thanks Nyao."
"For what?"
"For stopping before it went out of control." "No problem, Katsura. After all Coolmon isn't Liliana"
"Do you think we have a chance?"
"Of course, we're in this together so we can't lose."
Katsura had an overbearing smile as she sighed there really was no point killing Nyao's fighting spirit in the middle of the fight. Now there was nothing more to do than wait for Coolmon to terminating the timeout, and prepare for the third round of the match.
