[In Combat] Crystal fields arena - Broadshield vs Solar Flare
DIR By: Solar Flare
Date: August 10, 2015, 11:45 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
Arena: The remains of a massive floating crystal platform. What
was once a smooth arena a hundred feet across has been
splintered, with long cracks slicing their way across in various
places, leaving the arena split into smaller pieces. What
remains of the wall stands ten feet high, topped with
razor-sharp crystal spikes. Similar spikes can be found in
several locations on the field. The sun shines brightly down
above, and below is a ten-thousand foot drop. The chunks of
ground sometimes shift, split further, or even fall.
Challenger: Solar Flare. A Pegasus with permanently crystal
wings. Possesses great physical strength, but can't fly very
quickly. Largely uses light as his weapon, but also comes
equipped with a self-designed crossbow that can shoot hoof-sized
crystal shards as fast as a normal bolt.
Abilities:
Sun spot: precisely uses his wings to reflect light down in a
small point at his target, to burn, cut, or melt like a laser.
Only lasts a few seconds before he falls from the sky or has to
flat his wings again.
Solar flare: uses both wings focused widely on a pony to blind
them, if he catches them with their eyes open directly, the
power of visoni lasts for several minutes, reflection off the
ground or closed eyes only lasts a few seconds. This can be done
while flying.
Physical attacks: uses his wings as clubs, as well as basic hoof
combat, like punching.
Crossbow bolt: comes preloaded with one shot, but can fire any
chunks of crystal he comes upon. Highly accurate, highly
piercing, fairly slow.
His wings and back are all hard crystal, which cannot be pierced
but can be shattered with enough force. The rest of his body
remains un-protected.

Challenger: Broadshield. An ex-Equestrian military Corporal, now
a member of Special Forces Team Equinox. Is incredibly agile in
the air, and is proficient in wielding any weapon, as well as
using anything he can find against his opponents, possesses
average amount of physical strength, as well as average stamina.
Not as fast on the ground on hoof. Currently wields a katana
from Neighpon as well as some knives, used as throwing knives.
Abilities:
CQC: Close Quarters Combat, a mix of various fighting styles
used to subdue and even kill opponents.
Weapons: Proficient in using any weapon, can even use whatever
is around him as a makeshift weapon.
Environmental thrust: Uses any part of an environment as a
launch pad, to dramatically increase his launch speed into the
air, or even into his opponents.
Other information: Uses Equinox standard armour, which is made
using the same metal used with Equestrian military armour, as
well as dragon scales. As such, it offers large amounts of
protection for the user from physical and magical attacks, but
if damaged enough, will break.
"I am Broadshield, ex-Equestrian military corporal, I accept
your challenge!"
(OORP: Don't know whether you can interact before/after duels,
so take that with a grain of salt)

(Alright, I changed my mind. Also, I suspect we can do as little
or as much interacting whenever we want.)
I, Solar Flare, accept the challenge put forth by Broadshield.
As the challenger to this arena, you may have the first combat
move, I'll just set the scene.
Solar flare squinted at his opponent on the other side of the
arena. They were on opposite sides, on two of the larger
fragments of crystal. Solar readied his crossbow, making sure it
was loaded and ready to fire. His opponent wore gleaming armour
that reflected the sun beautifully, and was holding a long metal
blade, the likes of with which Solar was not familiar. He felt
the ground shift slightly beneath his hooves, and he looked
around to make sure he wasn't falling out of the sky just yet.
Up in the sky, there were a series of three lights. It was
currently on red. When it blinked to green, the fight would
begin.
"Ready?" It blinked red.
"Set?" It blinked yellow.
"GO!" And it went green.

Broadshield readied himself, as well as his weapons, still
sheathed. Analyzing the situation, as well as his opponent and
his wings, it was probably good to get altitude, better safe
than sorry.
"Ready?" It blinked red.
"Set?" It blinked yellow.
"GO!" And it went green.
The second the light went green, he galloped straight to the
nearest crystal and launched off it, rocketing into the air. As
soon as he stopped gaining altitude, he spread out his wings and
started flapping to maintain altitude, as he looked down to see
what his opponent would do.
(Sorry for late post, busy with stuff)

Solar Flare tensed up as his opponent charged, watching
cautiously as the stallion shot into the air. Once his height
peaked out, the red stallion hovered above, an occasional flap
of his wings keeping him relatively steady. Solar flare
tightened his grip on his crossbow, planning out a shot.
'Alright, so I know he's an elite soldier, so he probably does a
lot of combat things instinctively, at this point. Now, he knows
that he can't suddenly drop to avoid a shot, so he won't go
down. He probably also knows that moving rapidly up would strain
his wings greatly, and take a lot of energy, so he probably
won't go up. All I have to do is determine whether he's the kind
of pony who would move towards his heavy side and use gravity to
assist him, at the chance of losing control for a moment, or
whether he'll move away to keep balanced, but be a slight bit
slower. Since he didn't attack right off, he's probably the
defense type, which means he won't take a ton of risks. So,
he'll move away from his sword. Which means, I need to aim to
his right slightly.' Solar thought, keeping an eye on his
opponent to make sure he didn't miss anything. He readied his
grip on the trigger, took a deep breath, and, a second later,
brought his crossbow up as fast as he could, took aim, and shot
just to the right of the stallion.
(I'm assuming he's right hoof dominant and that the katana is
attached to his left side so as to be drawn with his right hoof,
sorry if that's not true.)

As Broadshield looked down, he saw that Solar had pointed his
hoof at him, noticing he had a crossbow on him. He then saw that
he launched what he assumed was an arrow towards him. 'I have
two choices, go down or go forward. Going forward ensures that
it will be harder for him to shoot me, but going down will make
him miss.' He said as the projectile soared through the air
towards him. 'I don't think he can hit me, but better safe than
sorry' Making up his mind, he decided to do what he could do
instinctively and go down. The ground was 10,000 ft away, giving
him enough of a chance to pull up and simply glide and plan out
his next move. 'Here goes nothing.' Aiming himself downwards, he
shot down at an amazing speed, easily dodging the projectile.
Once he was under the floating stadium, he spread out his wings
and glided onto a smaller platform to plan out his next move,
and waiting to see how his opponent would respond.

(Wow, do you often have time to contemplate your actions after
someone shoots at you? I wish I had a 10ms reaction time...)
Solar watching as the stallion practically rotated his wings in
their sockets, dropping out of the sky and heading beneath the
arena. The crystal whistled harmlessly past, and solar sigh.
"I guess I should have counted on an opponent who could defy
logical inference." He said quietly, looking around and waiting
for the red stallion to resurface. Do to the lack of actual
combat, there was no more crystal lying free that was small
enough to load into his crossbow, so he tossed it aside.

(OORP: in fairness, he is pretty high up, the higher something
like an arrow travels, the slower it gets due to gravity, so he
has time to quickly think. If you want, I'll stop contemplating
my actions in the middle of action)
After taking a quick breather, Broadshield flew up to the top of
the walls to try and find where his opponent was. He saw that he
threw his crossbow aside. 'Ok, thats good, at least he can't
shoot me' he said to himself. Noticing that he had somehow
resurfaced behind his opponent, he decided it woul be good to go
on the offensive. Preparing his throwing knives and aiming them
at his back and hind legs, he let the knives fly.

(Sorry, I didn't consider that. Nope, please do whatever you
were before, don't worry about me XD)
Solar looked around, trying to catch some glimpse of his
opponent from one of the many facets of crystal. Out of the
corner of his eye, he caught the glint of something metal, and
knowing only one thing in the arena was metal, quickly dropped
down as low as he could, hoping the shot was aimed at his head,
and was ranged. He felt the first strick solidly o. His back
between his wings, but the Crystal patch thankfully stopped it.
Not knowing there was a second attack, he began to stand and
turn, when the second knife sliced across his flank, leaving a
deep cut straight through his right cuite mark that began
beelding quickly. He growled, spinning around and looking up.

Watching both the knives fly through the air before hitting his
opponent in the back and across the flank, drawing blood, was
satisfying, knowing that he has the advantage. Broadshield then
unsheathed his sword from its sheathe and held it in his mouth,
as he found using his mouth instead of his hoof was somewhat
easier. Jumping from the wall, he then glided towards his
opponent, sword ready to cut or pierce him as he began to dive
towards him, sword drawn, ready for the fight to really begin.
