Another Taste of the Evil I Breed Will Level You Completely

[fracturedbeauty]

Who: Sato and Yukari (closed)
What: A good-humoured fight to the death.
Where: Behind Rage's Temple
When: February 25
Warnings: Blood, Death, probably gore. Stuff you'd typically expect in this situation.


Admittedly, Yukari's first meeting with Sato was arguably awkward. The man had hope for a fling after Yukari's Clone had gone around being rather promiscuous. Uncomfortable would be the word for their first meeting, undoubtedly, in Yukari's mind. Thankfully, Sato seemed to be a rather laid-back and understanding sort. But he had seen that affinity towards battle in the man's demeanour at that time. He just never got to particularly act on it since then.

And, fortune of all fortunes, whatever sign of Fate seems to have brought them back together again, via the Anonymous Network Posting. Sato was bored, and they shared a rather cordial conversation about fighting. When Yukari admitted to his injury, Sato suggested that he die and be resurrected to fix it. A way to return to his normal, heavily skilled self. How could Yukari turn such an offer down? The catch, that Yukari provided, was that it couldn't be suicide, but an all out passionate battle. And, since Sato seemed to be a man who enjoyed just as beautiful a fight, they agreed to meet up.

Yukari had texted Curufin, to let him know he would be gone for a day or two, and to come retrieve him at the appropriate location when the time came, with the hopes of returning good as new. And, shortly thereafter, he grabs his sword in his hand, tying it to his hip today, as he made his way to Rage's Temple, taking extra care to stroll to the side opposite of the Guard's quarters. No interruptions, a delightful battle, and the hope of restoring what was once lost.

"This will be a delightful way to unwind, don't you imagine?" The smile in Yukari's voice is evident as he approaches Sato.

Sato rises from where he was waiting on the step of a nearby abandoned building, placing one hand on the hilt of the his machete. His pistol was in its usual place at his hip too, but there really wasn't much point. Sato cared less about things being sporting or fair, and more about it being interesting. Fun. Just shooting Yukari outright was no good if all the other man had was just a sword.

But with practicality in mind, there wasn't any reason to not cash in Yukari's corpse, hence the suggested meeting place. As long as no busybodies came by to disturb them, it shouldn't be a problem. And if there were... well, that'd be another reason to have more rapid-fire ammunition on hand, wouldn't it?

"Of course. It's been a while since I enjoyed a little one-on-one action." Despite being an older gentleman, Sato is clearly confident in his abilities. The loose-fitting shirt and pants might hide it fairly well, but there's well-trained muscle underneath.

"I hope you won't disappoint," he grins, pulling his machete free from its sheath, pointing it straight at Yukari.

"I hope for the same. May my skills be enjoyable enough for you, as I am sure yours will be for mine." He unsheathes his blade as well, twirling it for flair before pointing it to Sato in similar fashion. He may not be able to do his usual spins without losing his balance, but twirling his sword is a much more easy and familiar motion for him. He didn't have to keep his eyes on it to achieve it.

He smirks and charges Sato immediately with a slash and jab of his sword, crackling his Green Electric Aura along it's blade. He's pulling out all of the stops from the get-go. He wants to see just how much Sato is capable of countering.

Out and about, Sato's usually blank-faced or smiling to some lesser degree, a quirk of the corner of his lips or a mild avuncular smile. But he seems to be really getting a kick out of Yukari's enthusiasm, grin broadening perceptibly.

Sato might be willing to match weapons, but that doesn't mean he's going to play fair, and the green crackling energy on his opponent's blade is a complete unknown. Yukari has the range, taller, with a longer weapon... but also missing perfect depth perception, weak to the one side.

He weaves out of the way of the first slash and jab, circling towards Yukari's weak side. But as soon as he has a handle on Yukari's speed, he catches the next swing on the blade of his entirely mundane machete. It's always hard to say how anything works in this place, but he's willing to test his strength against the younger man's, aggressively trying to block the strikes and get inside Yukari's guard.

Of course Sato would go for Yukari's blind side, it was to be expected. A true opponent seeks to close in on the opening, exploiting any weaknesses in their favour. It's the sign that tells Yukari that Sato is, without a doubt, serious about this battle. It is a sign of the beauty he seeks.

Yukari allows himself to feel the thrill of fighting to keep up with Sato once he sweeps around and blocks the next of Yukari's blows with that ordinary blade. Yukari gives a massive pulse of Electricity toward Sato. If it misses Sato, it'll destroy a good fraction of the wall of the building behind him. He's just as apt to show he can still fight, even with his missing eye. Although Sato will undoubtedly have him beat on the offensive front. The point of the game is to last as long as he possibly can until Sato takes his life. An end he has no doubt that he'll meet.

An end he'll welcome with open arms when it finally comes down to it.

"Will you tell me of your background, Sato-chan?" Yukari can be a rather chatty sort in the middle of battle.

He twirls himself around to try and aim another attack, and finds himself stumbling a few paces to right himself from the loss of balance. He raises his blade again to deflect any oncoming attacks, trying to observe and calculate his opponent.
