Troublesome Affairs [Kogami - Android]

"Well doesnt this suck, alright..ill play your game. " Kogami then readies his blade, he was breathing a little heavily and was unable to turn into his red shadow form. "Tch.. i guess i was using this as a clutch... alright...  lets dance." Kogami then started to relax himself, he couldn't  exert any more energy then he already was.  He remained planted on the floor with his legs spread apart, so he would be able to keep his balance. Assessing the situation, it was obvious that Kogami had the longer blade, so he didn't need to close in as much when it came to his strikes. Moving in was suicide, and keeping his distance was the key.  Kogami's sword was extended a comfortable distance away from his body, and towards his opponent's throat. His elbows were bent and close to his body, there was no room for mistakes. His opponent was a grown man, and he had the same cold expression on his face that Soki did.  He slides his foot forward slightly to maintain grounding and balance  as he brings down his blade with two strikes. It was a perfect distance between him and his opponent as he kept his momentum, a down strike followed by a diagonal strike.

Spoiler:

The young woman looked back and forth between the two men before walking off to the side and taking a seat on a piece of machinery. Stretching her arms out infront of her chest, she'd give a tired yawn before placing both hands on her lap and folding one leg over the other. Her eyes were dull and seemed to be lifeless and she watched, almost appearing like she could have dozed off with her eyes open. Was she this bored? Not really, it was just how she was. In that short time before the fighting would begin, a shadowy figure would appear to her left, being one of the butlers for the Tsurinai Family. In his hand was a tea cup with a sweet aroma of green tea and honey. Taking the cup from his hand, Soki would give a tired smile and nod towards the man in thanks. "You're the best." She'd say with a tired yawn before turning back towards the two to watch their scuffle. In that time the butler slid back within the shadows as if he were never there. Lifting the tea cup to her lips, she'd take a small sip as the first action began. Kogami was the aggressive like his previous fight with her. She'd be lying if she said she was surprised, but she only hoped he had a plan this time, and would not simply swing his sword because he could. Regardless, she'd take another sip of her tea and savour the flavor it gave her. It was always the simple things in life that could bring a smile to Soki's usually dull face.

Out of Character:

'...'

∞ The Android came to the sudden conclusion: 'This child speaks way to much...' However, that wasn't necessarily a bad thing; Alphonse enjoyed holding conversations with people. However in moments such as this? One cannot afford to speak, let alone show any sign of faltering to the opponent; which this boy did on many accounts within a fifteen second time frame. Anyone with a 'fighting-spirit' could tell this boy could  hardly continue to spar let alone stand. He made this visibly known with struggling actions and words. Hopefully he'd learn from this little exercise and not let this life changing experiences go to waste.

'...'

∞ The very moment the boy slide forward, Alphonse went on the offensive; his robotic body moving extremely fast. The Ansatsuken Master anticipated the first strike from the obvious self-taught swordsmen flawlessly. Normally accomplishing such feats would be 'difficult'. However, based off the child's exhaustion, stance, and overly large blade. Anticipating the strikes would be almost too easy. As the initial attack came to be, he'd merely spin off to the side; the blade more than likely missing him completely. As the teenager attempted to raise the blade for yet another attack, the Android would already be more or less in his face ready to strike. Alphonse swung his sword arm like a pendulum esque motion; the butt of the hilt of the sword striking the exposed chest of the teenager. However, before the moment of contact, the Android would cease this action and leap away from the person space of the teenager. He wanted him to know he could have landed that hit if he wanted too...

'That's one...'

What was this guy? A Fucking ninja? This is what Kogami was thinking as he was easily bested by the individual who wasn’t tired at all. He kept a cool face like this was nothing for him, as Kogami’s body started to experience fatigue. Why couldn’t he transform? He tried to feed off on the anger and hatred, but he wasn’t feeling any of those emotions as of now. It was more so disappointment as of now since he couldn’t land a hit on either of them. His moves seemed inhuman, how was Kogami going to land a blow. He needed a trigger, something… anything…. The strain could be seen on his face as everything came blank, that Soki really ruined it.  He knows that his life isn’t in danger,  so he can’t summon enough emotion to transform.  “Tch..”  There it was, the only inspiration he could think of. He had to move forward, he needed  the groups funds  and connections if he was to get anything in this life.  His greed allowed the darkness  to engulf Kogami once more as the sword felt much lighter to him in his shadow form, but the injuries were still real. The breathing was lessened, but the faituge was still apparent.   He was definitely and amauter with the sword and haven’t used it much at all, never stepped a foot in the kendo club, but Kogami was tenacious and didn’t want to give up simply because he didn’t want to.  However, there was this one technique he did know from the kendo club since he was apart of the athletics program from observing them.

It was a Kendo technique that increases the power of a slash by using a two-hand hold on the swords handle. The slash can cleave an opponent in two.  Already having the sword much lighter to Kogami, he brings  the sword down with enough force that it can cut an opponent in half right down the middle. He knows this opponent was skilled, but he wanted to hit him, just once.

“Who the hell are you?” This guy was like some brown skinned james bond with sword skills. Kogami had no chance against him at this rate, and he could not rely on his persona. However, he was tired and he needed an edge. But playing by the stupid rules of soki, he couldn’t have his persona do all of the work. As kogami began to contemplate this, Raiza appeared right next to him. The problem was that he didn’t call him. Kogami looks at raiza with a confused look on his face as it seemed that his tainted persona was trying to communicate with him. Suddenly, a violent wind began to burst through the small area. Wind from all around starts to blow in the direction of where the change starts to take place. Raiza then starts to spin around Koami at high speed, creating a tornado. Then the tornado ceases, the transformation is complete. This was much more different than his red form, Kogami had actually fused with his persona. He felt much stronger and faster, he was even granted the ability to fly. However, he didn’t know just how long this was going to last. This was fair, Kogami wasn’t technically cheating if he was doing all of the work this time, With his buster blade in hand, Kogami flew over at a fast speed and brought down his blade diagonally.

Tainted Persona Turn 1

The Mistress of Death took another sip of her tea while watching the two brutes battle. It seemed Samaritan still didn't get why he was losing. It wasn't because of stamina, or because his opponent was inhuman. No, it was quite possible to beat an Android once someone unlocked their power as an Persona-User. What Samaritan lacked was discipline and strategy. He swung his sword without any plans and expected his blows to land. He didn't attempt to bait his opponent into any bad situations or feint any strikes behind his real attacks. No, instead he swung his heavy sword around like a character from an anime and hoped plot armor was on his side. It was shameful, to say the least. The dull faced woman couldn't help but give a half assed stretch of the leg as she sat down and took another sip of her tea. "Stop trying to hit him and hit him already, Samaritan. This is unbecoming of a warrior under the Tsurinai crest. Display some sort of strategy, and may-.." The silver haired woman's words would fall off as she raised a brow. Intense winds seemed to come from his direction, and soon he exploded into a strange, inhuman figure. This was certainly some information to record. She had wondered why his process of summoning a Persona was different than her own, but now he appeared to actually be his own Persona. How fascinating was this? When the Android turned to look towards her after dodging an attack, the woman would wave a gloved hand, signifying to continue. Why stop now? The more she watched, the more she learned, after all. And with another sip of tea, she'd cross her left leg over the right and continue to watch the entertainment before her.

He was acting careless once more, but all that was going to change. It was funny how this was working, his persona was talking to him on a mental base, but it only said so little. “This wont last long…” Raiza probably meant that this fusion could only last for so long and would have to be broken up because his body wouldn’t be able to take it. Its not like the fusion was forced because both parties consented, but he just passed off the human limitations and he need some kind of strategy before this power is lost and is left at the disadvantage as well. Kogami’s attack was dodged but he was already formulating a plan as well. Jumping backwards meant that he would be getting closer to the wall. That left with less chances of escape and there was plenty of weapons around the area. With weapons, he meant the scattered machinery and equipment . With his quick thinking, Kogami quickly flew over to where a good majority of dangerous metal items was scattered about and summoned and used his magarula to not only summon a gust of wind at his opponent, but to throw a bunch of metal debris in his way as well. This served as a two for one session as Kogami was also using the Debris as cover. The wind was more than strong enough, and the debris rose as if it was leaves and flew at high speed. He was flying a few inches behind his attack, determined to strike down his opponent with one decisive stroke if the Debris didn’t get him. Everything was counting on this…

The defense measures of the human in front of him seemed a little off. His choice of defense was to hide behind some cardboard boxes. However, flying machinery at high speed towards a substance that was even less durable than wood proved to be more than enough for the boxes and crushed them. The boxes broke apart with the machinery taking their place and then some. This was a logical response, because the shipping containers were made of corrugated fiberboard, which is light weight, recyclable, and strong enough to ship a variety of products. However, the main point was that the durability of these boxes proved useless against the heavy metal. Along with the air pressure behind the attack, the machinery was easily stacked all around his opponent, which limited his options of movement and pinning him down to the specific spot that he was standing in at this moment. It was also a good sense of judgment that those boxes would be stacked more closely towards the wall. This inference was due to the fact that they would be in the way, and the machinery was most likely shipped through using those boxes. I was a gues that they would be moved momentatily after the setup of the office was complete, so they would be stacked more closely against the wall to remove any inconvenience.
The situation at hand was that Kogami’s opponent was even more closer to the wall . There was no running back, and he was completely surrounded by the machinery. Kogami was flying a few inches behind the attack as well and summoned that same gust of wind once. This time, it was used through the flapping of his wings. This method was used to lower the chances of escape, this method could be considered as a magarula at close range. Using his wings, the wind would be coming towards the android on the left, right, and front sides respectively. Adding to the wind, the machinery would be launched at the opponent once more as if they weighed nothing, the newfound change added to the air pressure of his wind attacks due to his transformation. They were much stronger and the attack was launched at an even higher speed with no chance of the momentum lowering due to them being so close to his opponent and not having to travel that far. His opponent was faced with the full extent of his wind, along with the machinery with no chance of the momentum lowering. He was faced with being crushed. Judging from the choice of the weapon, a wooden blade in this situation wouldn’t suffice, the user can be skilled but it doesn’t mean that the material is made of anything other than wood, and would break if it collides with the metal machinery.

OOC: I did edit, RPers pride when i know i can write a better post. Just for the hell of it...

Now with that same  turn,  after the attack it seemed that Kogami’s power faded completely. His persona was gone and he was four meters of the ground as well as weighing in his options as to how he would handle  the incoming attack. There was only seconds to come up with  a  more appropriate  solution  that either doesn’t have him dying or hitting the floor too hard. Now here comes the trick to this method of a counter attack. And here was the thing,  the air pressure itself was pushing the opponent one way,  and that was against the wall. Regardless of the fact that  the machinery  was used as the blunt of the attack,  it doesn’t change the fact that the attack itself was a wave of wind , an amazing source of air pressure that was pushing his opponent the other way. He specifically flew low so that this would come to effect,  his opponent was facing resistance that was able to lift machinery as if it was nothing, onto of the fact that he didn’t take into account that the transformation  would last long.  All that proved was one  result, he over jumped..ontop  of his miscalculation of adjustments  he should have taken to factor in the wind resistance when he attempted the jump, dodging the  debris itself  but not the wind.

The only reason why this would have worked even though he was a little off his calculations,  was the fact that kogami was an over 12 foot tall bird.  Which reverted to less than half of his original height and body size which was 5’8 and 165 pounds.  His opponent was only taking into account and factoring on the mass and size of something..that was only temporary. Also,  the momentum that was used to push himself off. It would be hard for him to adjust his attack,  it was pretty obvious at that speed he was aiming for an vertical strike that would have been hard to adjust because he would just miss kogami,  the powerful launch would have sent  his opponent just off the mark due to the wind pressure,  and change of specs  “Height /size”

Kogami didn’t have much options with his huge sword, even though he trained his body every day to lift it. So he couldn’t do some amazing rapid slash or anything, he was stuck to resort to cheap bullshit,  the factor of over  jumping was a blessing,  because as his opponent was heading for him, Kogami would only lift his blade up and bring it down, his buster blade …From tip to handle, it is approximately five to six feet long, with a single-edged, enormous blade approximately one foot wide.   Blocking with a wooden sword with this much speed involved would only result in it getting cut in half along with his opponent getting cut since he was heading straight for kogami’s blade.  His adjustment was possible because of him going over the 30 inch vertical and having a  hang time of over one second… basketball specs of course but the possibility was simple because kogami wasn’t moving that fast, it was just the continuation of the speed he had from his tainted form when he was flapping his wings, so he too was only using the momentum of his previous form.  His opponent was faced with being cut from straight down the middle.. and his blade destroyed as well.
