You both find yourselves standing on the middle level of the area, with one layer above you, and solid ground below. There's a decent amount of snowfall as well, blanketing the area in a thick, fluffy layer of snow. You stand about 15 meters away from eachother, at the very center. The area is decently expansive, yet the platforms around are suprisingly brittle. For shadows of your caliber anyway. The one who starts the match is decided by a game of rock, paper, scissors, with the winner of that being able to choose who goes first.
OoC:
Send me a PM where you either pick Rock, paper or scissors. If you win this, you get to choose who posts first. Play fair. I'll keep an eye on this match.
Post your stats and any passives that activate straight away (Like Auto-passives). Anything else should remain hidden until they are used in some fashion. (Like Regenerate or Invigorate only showing themselves once you've lost HP/SP). You may begin whenever.

The snow crunched softly under Ironfists's foot, frozen silence looming in the air, as if in a still shot, as he held his arm outstreched, a fork made of his middle and index fingers. The scissors prevailed.
It was incredibly calm, what with the flakes slowly descending upon them. Without a word but with a grin on his face, he lowered his hand and looked over at the woman standing in front of him. "..." Ironfist placed his hard hand on his hard chin. Yes, she would be a powerful foe, there was no denying it.
Perfect.
"Oi, girl!" He shouted over at her, crossing his hands and smirking. Some snow fell from his hair as he did that and he laughed. "Mwahaha! I'll let you start first. Show this old man what you can do."

//"Hmm... so... desu ne."//
Rita retracted her previously fully outstretched hand to scratch the back of her head with a slightly dejected pout. She wasn't really feeling too bad about it; the first move was important, and reacting to it was easier than making it yourself. The Shadow sighed and took a single step back.
//"You sure you wanna see what I can do? It ain't really much, just a few magic tricks..."// She looked bored, of herself, of everything. The silver-haired young woman dug her hands into her pockets as a dark purple mist emanated from her feet, and took a deep breath. //"Alright then. Whatever you say."// A circle of flames erupted around her feet, the snow beneath instantly melting into warm water that would then soon evaporate as another figure came into view from Rita's back...
An onyx sword, writhed in flames...
...and an emotionless face hidden beneath an equally black mask.
//"Hm hm hm..."// The Shadow's expression seemed to shift a little bit, as her brow furrowed. //"You seem like an interesting person; however, I'd like to make this quick as I have a person I want to meet afterwards."// Rita's now-golden eyes held a kind of lazy spark behind them. She didn't seem fully invested, but... it was hard to tell for sure.
As for her Reverse Persona, King Arthur stood fully in front of her main body, her Excalibur Morgan still covered fully in bright red flames.

Ironfist chuckled at the girl. He could see the fire behind her eyes, despite her unfocused demeanor. But he didn't flinch at her display. Instead, he shifted slowly and carefully into a combat position, putting one leg a few feet behind as he faced her sideways now in a lowered stance. Spreading his open palm at her, he smiled as an arua of strength began emanating from behind him where a figure appeared.
"..."
He stood like that for a few moments before speaking up. He wasn't sizing her up-he was answering her call for battle. "You say you wish to meet someone. Very well, then I shall test you. However, you must show me the true extent of you will, because if you are not ready to go to all lengths for what you wish, I am afraid it will be beyond my power to allow you to pass."

//"The difference between her and I... what would have happened if I hadn't gotten my King Arthur, I wonder..?"//
The flames over King Arthur's sword flared to life, and the Reverse Persona quickly dashed forward alongside her User. It didn't go straight for the enemy, though; instead, Arthur swung her blade to the right around midway between the two Shadows' previous positions. The flames stored in her blade released over the field and covered a wide area to the advancing Rita's right, but in the same motion, Arthur would also conjure up another aura of flames around her blade and immediately swing it left to cover the same area.
It'd be around a quarter circle of flames, its center originating five feet in front of Ironfist, and raised up to only around five feet in height. Their thickness was also around five feet of solid fire... which would disperse just two seconds after and sublimate the snow into a thick white mist that spread quickly across the field as if boiling water had been poured all over, in a large 20-meter area around the previously mentioned center point. From the middle, Ironfist could see a couple of flashes of orange that would vanish almost immediately after, and both Rita's and Arthur's footsteps ceased right afterwards.
The skill was at least powerful enough that, when used even once, it would easily melt any snow immediately, as water was easy to vaporize compared to most other materials, or even most liquids, with its boiling point being only 100 degrees Celsius, and Rita's flames being able to reach well over 200 degrees when applied to real world objects. Of course, this also meant that, due to the heat, an area reaching around to the center of the half-circle previously mentioned also had its snow completely melted off, leaving behind a damp surface of solid rock to step on.

The moment Rita broke into a dash, Ironfist shifted his position, but only slightly, in order to lock eyes with her for a moment. She would feel his hardened gaze follow her as she rounded him together with her Persona, forming the wall of evaporated water.
His Persona vanished.
The fire didn't faze him. The flames of tomorrow burned bright within him, after all! And neither did the lack of vision distract him. He seemed to shift with grace beyond anything seen before, moving his hands up in a circular motion before slowly pressing them together. Everything fell silent as the world stood still, until Ironfist lowered his hands and clapped his own chest.
A strong force was released as he clapped, extending from his very person as his body resonated at an impossible frequency. This strength formed a bubble of pressure around him which grew and grew, pushing everything in its way. Millions of microspcopic punches were released from the pores in his body, formed from his life energy, and grew in diameter rapidly (<1 second) into a perfect spherical shape with no openings up to 15 meters around him, clearing the curtain of evaporated water and pushing Rita away as well before vanishing. If she was even in range. The ground beneath him showed some cracking under the assault (though the punches dispersed as they made contact), while all Ironfist did was smirk, as merely visibly his muscles hardened even more...

Thankfully for Rita, Ironfist cleared the mist away... and inadvertently also gave away his position. What he saw as it cleared up was not the other Shadow Self being blown away, but instead, flying ten feet above the ground, and a total of seven meters away, he would see a Divine Being...
~The Last Angel~
Like Moses with the Red Sea, the Last Angel's dirk in her left hand would swing immediately in front of her, breaking straight through the incoming fists directed at her for well over 2 meters to both sides due to the sheer force with a shockwave released from the short weapon. Just at the same time, she advanced with speed matching her Persona's, a speed that Ironfist NEEDED his enhanced reflexes to even keep up with, and the initial slash would continue for a full 20 meters ahead.
From the other side, the footsteps ceased and a slash with the exact same properties was fired from the Reverse Persona's blade, equally breaking through the punches as easily as a steel ball through glass. The two slashes would surround Ironfist from two sides, one from around 30 degrees right from his left, and another one straight from the right. Rita's slash, from the left, would come from her left to her right in order to strike Ironfist, while Arthur's would ascend from behind him to finally strike at his right.
As a final move, a large broadsword appeared in the Last Angel's right hand when she was around three meters away from Ironfist, which would be even less than a second after she started to fly at him due to her initial speed of 12.4 meters per second, or average running speed for a person. At least, due to their speed being the same right now, it would appear that way in relation to Ironfist's perception. Regardless, this broadsword was swung as soon as she was within a meter of Ironfist, from top to bottom, from right to left, and covered the third and last slash needed to fully encompass Ironfist's escape route. If he tried to jump, he would fall victim to the incoming Soulbound Weapon.

Strengths and Weaknesses:
—Strength Name: Eternal Arms Mastership Pt. 1 —Description: Before becoming an Angel, Rita was more than well-trained in the usage of her weaponry of choice. She's skilled in handling her blade and knows how to maneuver it exactly to pierce the opponent's weak spots. Of course, this mastery extends beyond her sword, and all around to her body movements, culminating in a perfect form that befits the strongest fighters. In general, this gives her Dex attacks a 15% boost.
—Strength Name: Primordial Flame —Description: Rita's natural affinity. She was born from fire as a Shadow, and continues to conduce it as if they were brethren. Her flames are powerful, fast and precise, and she has perfect control over them at all times no matter which body she may be using. Boosts Fire-based skills by 15%.
—Strength Name: O Angel of Mine —Description: The Last Angel's wings aren't for show in the slightest. When in her True Self form, Rita can take to the skies and fly around 10 feet above the ground effortlessly, and move around at running speed while doing so.

Weapon:
Weapon Name: Rebellion - Sword of the Conqueror Weapon Description: A large steel broadsword that is nonetheless light enough for Rita to wield it with only one hand. It's not too too long, only at around 130 centimeters from pommel to point, with around 15 centimeters of hilt. It's equipped with a semicircular orange guard that extends onto the blade around another 15 centimeters, and circles back to protect Rita's hand. Its hilt is long enough for it to be wielded with two hands, as it is originally a two-handed sword, and its blade goes for a full meter of durable steel. Weapon Image:

my bad, second Primordial Flame should be this instead:
—Strength Name: Raw Power —Description: Applies to both her transformed state and her normal form. Rita has trained during life to achieve above average strength, and it translates into fighting as well. She's stronger than even the average adult male and can easily match a trained weightlifter. Now that she's a Shadow, this only becomes more obvious, and more pronounced, and it also carries over to strikes with her Soulbound. Boosts Dex attacks by 15%.
(also corrections:
1. 12.4 m/s is top human running speed recorded, not average; but we're Shadows anyway we all could easily reach that
2. Typhoon Slice's defense down chance is 20%. Ignore the randomizers for it this turn, the debuff just doesn't hit.)

There was no time to react, but Ironfist's blood was boiling. He'd been expecting her to attack him after putting that curtain up, so he was ready. From his left, he let the shockwave hit him, tearing the clothes straight from his chest, which appeared to be bulging with energy now. He barely felt it, but the burning was real. This was a real fight, but the girl was about to learn just how serious she really needed to be in order to beat him. At the same time, his Reversed Persona, Confucius, appeared to block the girl's Reversed Perona's slash, coming from his other side.
There would be no sign of Ironfist doing anything yet other than summoning his Persona. The slashing blast seemed throw his balance off ever so slightly. He was smiling though, and the Angel was fast, already moving in to attack him, but in the moment she would swing her sword at him from 3 m away, a burst of power building up came emanating from Ironfist's chest and, in a matter of miliseconds, he was already on the offensive, leaving the girl no route to escape. Two giant, dark pale hands appeared at her sides, with dangly arms protruding from the ground behind Ironfist (under his Persona's feet; also, the hands appear first before connecting with the arms to the ground and the portal to eeeeeeeevil-land), both of them large enough to grab her on its own, being around 5 meters, together they were even more efficient. They appeared instantaneously and only around 30 cm from her sides, closing her in swiftly while she was mid-motion to attack the man who simply stood still, a grin on his face.
They'd catch her midway to him.
"Mwahahahaha!" Ironfist laughed a toothy grin as the hands enclosed the girl, the one to her left closing her from below while the one to her right from above. Together, they formed an inescepable prison, capturing her softly as a child catches a butterfly before crushing her wings to make hot-dog meat out of her. Chicken was very sought after nowadays.
Afterwards, he reignited the flame burning within him to last for a while longer.

It was a mistake to think the blast would stop as it hit Ironfist. No, the blast was two meters wide to both sides, which would make it end up smashing into the ground as well as the man, which not only would make him lose that bit of balance, but would also tear the ground beneath his feet immediately as soon as it hit him. By the time Rita was swinging her sword, he would already be falling down to the next level, especially as the second hit tore a diagonal through the ground as it passed. Ironfist's previous spherical attack only made this all the easier. (Rita's Typhoon Slice needed to be allowed to happen before acting upon the ground, hence not mentioning the effect on the environment in the last post. As nothing was done to stop it, the effects take place in this post.)
His attack would need a lot more distance to connect due to this, and as he fell down to the base level, Rita would simply fly through his previous position and 20 meters away, making Arthur dissipate into nothing, before perching on the ramp that took her to the next level.
As the attacks appeared from her sides and not from in front and behind, Rita would have more than enough time to simply fly at top speed even if they were in the same position. Ironfist sure wasn't, and as they needed to connect behind him, they'd take that much longer to actually act. Not to mention, there wasn't any more ground beneath him, so there wasn't quite the surface for the skill to be summoned in the first place.
The Last Angel stood silently before flying up the ramp she was currently sitting on. This was not, in fact, the ramp that connected the base level to the top level, so Ironfist would not be able to immediately catch her even if he ran. It'd only take her a turn to reach the top level. It'd take Ironfist twice that time to cross the distance of the longest ramp.

Rita has trained during life to achieve above average strength, and it translates into fighting as well. She's stronger than even the average adult male and can easily match a trained weightlifter.

—Weakness Name: Bloody Angel —Description: Such determination comes at a lofty price. Rita is easily prone to flying into a rage if provoked enough, mostly due to her utmost confidence in herself.

He was missing something, he was almost sure of it. But what? It wasn't until the ground beneath him collapsed that it dawned on Ironfist. "Oh, mwahahaha!!!" He laughed a hearty laugh as he fell. "Nicely played, nicely. But you're gonn' have to try harder if you don't wanna flunk!" Confucius moved swiftly to grab a hold of Ironfist's hand only a few miliseconds after he'd fallen. He grabbed it already starting to spin with vicious force and used said force to spin one more time immediately before throwing Ironfist towards the flying girl. Meanwhile, Rita would be able to feel the weight of the future crushing her dreams as the idea of flunking became very real in her mind. The 'F' spelled failure for her and that failure would mark her for the rest of her life as she would only be able to get a job as a...hot dog seller (gasp!!!) and it frightened her or not because she was apathetic as all hell.
Confucius disappeared.
Anyways, Ironfist, now able to keep up with Rita flying away from him (he was thrown so that he would fly over her and land on the ramp she was flying towards) as he had been thrown at greater speed than she could reach, coated himself with the remainder of the power, now radiating a clear bright red aura around himself which formed into dozens of fists that came flying out towards Rita in zig-zagging directions and at blistering speed, encircling her fully and cutting her escape route in all directions, continuing to rotate around her. Ironfist would immediately release two more sets of fists, reinforced with his newfound power, and they too would first spread and then fly to encircle Rita in layers, like an onion, the same way as the first set. If she tried to ram into them or move, they'd follow her as they were faster and smash into her especially if she tried to release them by colliding with a layer of terrain (even though it would only affect one onion-layer if she tried that), knocking her out cold with amazing manly force of Iron-willed manliness. Also, she would no longer be able to outpower them with her sword tehniques and her vision would be impaired by the flying fists. After a couple of moments, the fists would ram into her even if she remained still, and also try to push her downwards. Ironfist would land on the ramp gracefully, using his martial-arts powers, crouched and ready to act at a moment's notice.

The unrelenting force of manliness brimming inside his chest pushes his body beyond regular human limitations. His reflexes are outstanding and his footwork will leave any enemy unprepared.

Maybe it's the muscles eating away at his brains, or maybe it's too much meat in his diet.

Complicated mental actions require additional concentration. (SP cost of skills +20%) ("What matters is the heart, not these cold lines on the paper!

Incorrect. Ironfist would be incapable of achieving a greater speed than the Last Angel's flight, simply due to his enhanced reflexes not actually enhancing his speed overall. While they do allow him to easily catch the Last Angel's movements and respond to them as if they were on the same level, her own level of speed is still a step above his, even with the enhancing aura on him.
In conclusion, while Ironfist would fall onto the ramp, he would not be fast enough to close off the Last Angel's escape, and she would fly upwards to the top level unimpeded, as the rest of his attempts outright relied on the original escape being cut off. What Ironfist had to worry most about, though, was what the force of being spun around so fast would do to his body. It might as well be the equivalent of using the skill on yourself, as he most likely was hit by the Akasha Arts' force just as much as he intended to smash Rita with it...
Soon enough, she would be able to get to the middle of the top stage, and perch on the ground while waiting for the teacher to come for her. This naturally meant she noticed the thoughts of flunking forming in her head... but then again, she had dropped out of school, what was a mere F supposed to do to her conscience?
The Last Angel did nothing else, and merely waited, broadsword stabbed into the brittle ground just lightly enough to not outright break it, though King Arthur appeared once again beside her...

Ironfist launched himself into the ramp, smashing the ice into pieces along with himself, yo. This girl was breaking his broken logic and sticking the frozen shards into his fiery heart. He had to give it to her, she had it in herself to go and meet the one she wanted to meet.
"May you be lucky in your endeavour, mwahaah!" He yelled at her before busting through and falling off the mountain.
