A Duel for Two

[Ryugexu]

Zelos's sapphire eyes stared bravely down the barrel of her gun, a droplet of cold sweat dripped down the side of his face.

"Well well... now what do I do~?" his voice playfully asked with a sarcastic intonation.

He released the handle of his sword, realizing it was useless to him from here on out. "I guess I'll have to use those things to defeat you..."

[alexandra]

"What....things?" She eyed him suspiciously. "And get off my dress!" She added, as an afterthought. Honestly, what could he possibly do to her if a GUN was against his skull?

[Ryugexu]

Zelos stared into her eyes, a defiant Cheshire grin on his face.

He raised his open hands to shoulder level as though he were giving up. He very slowly stood up and turned away from her. "Looks like you won.... maybe."

A strange whoosh of energy rushed at LA and two gold and red glowing wings suddenly came out of his back, in an swift and powerful attempt to knock the gun away. The wings were large and a bit forceful- if she had been hit directly, then the wings would certainly leave bruises or crack a few ribs.

[alexandra]

Without a second warning a pair of wings rushed out and knocked the gun from her grip. It skittered across the floor until it reached the other side of the ballroom. She on the other hand, flew in the opposite way, holding her side painfully.

[Ryugexu]

Zelos, still holding his arms up in the air, turned to face her, his wings shimmered with holy aura.

"Whoops, I'm sorry 'bout that my gunner hunny. I didn't meant to hurt you like that." his voice was sweet, like lemons dipped in poison.

[alexandra]

She clutched her side. "Tch.....I'm sure you are, sicko." She looked dismally to the far end of the ballroom, her gun laying neatly there in a mocking manner. Somehow, she needed to get to it and fast. She needed a distraction. She needed...

A fire materia glinted up at her mischeiviously from her thigh pouch. Ifrit.


She reached down with her other hand and pulled it out. "Sorry, hunny," She spat out with a smirk. "But this gunner hunny has more gunpowder in her, then hunny." It was a lame pun, but care she did not. She chucked the Ifrit materia at him and away the monster shot out, chucking flames and all.

[Ryugexu]

"CRAP!!!" The man cursed and blocked his face from the sudden eruption. Upon meeting eyes with the large beast his shoulder slumped.

"Aw man. Why the hell didn't you tell me you were a Summoner?!" Zelos's voice was nervous. "I'm no good against Elemental Spirits!"

Apparently in his world, there were certain prerequisites to 'summon' anything like that, and somehow it made him fear her abilities a bit.

Quickly he cast. "Undine, I ask you to grant me your fluid might..."

"AQUA EDGE!" Several beach-ball sized bubbles of fast-moving water split out from his spell circle. Five of them went at Ifrit and the other three dove at LA.

[alexandra]

L.A. jerked as they hit her dead on. She fell to the ground, mere feet away from her weapon. Pain stung her body. 'Ifrit...buddy...come on...help me.'

[Ryugexu]

Zelos moved to run at LA, however the large beast Ifrit stomped in his path.

"Aw man this blows!" Zelos shouted, moments before getting smacked aside with one of Ifrit's large arms.

Zelos was sent skidding across the floor and into a nicely decorated pillar which cracked at the force and speed of which Zelos had been hit.

Zelos was too dazed to move.
