Nezuel

There were three reason Nezuel was standing alone deep within the wastes of Hungova island. The first was that the quiet tranquility of the destroyed environment, yet to be rebuilt from the calamity that befell the island, allowed him to think upon the past and future undisturbed, to look upon what he had done and what still must be done. The second reason was the destroyed environment itself. Events of the past had led to the necessary of what must happen within the clearing, within the foreseeable future. The third reason would be revealed to the both of them as Megan entered the clearing, not simply invited but ordered to reach the glade upon her own volition and means.

She would find him standing and dressed as he usually was. Oddly enough although he was still wearing the suit he always had on he was missing the captain's coat he usually had on, it missing the insignia of justice upon its back, it replaced instead with a blank canvas of white ambiguity. The air was normal, not charged with cold as it usually was. He had been at this place for a while, waiting, and he had had ample time to search it for anyone that may wish anyone attending harm or mal-intentions. Similarly he was unworried Megan had been followed as he had ample belief that she was sufficient enough to not be followed. "Take off your coat" he would say to her if she arrived wearing it and if so continuing after she did so. "Do you know why you are here?"

Megan had been lightly training and eating little bits of food all morning, her small run just now ending with a walk that took her to the edge of the city she'd taken station here. She wasn't particularly fond of Hungova Island nor its many busy cities. It disturbed her a little, how perpetual the cycle was here. It was always busy, and the businesses here were always successful. People really seemed to have something they wanted to drown out. So many people, in a world that was supposed to have entered a golden age of peace ... eternal peace ... what a joke.

And it was with this sense of cynicism that Megan trotted to the clearing her Captain had showed her previously. Had told her to come here now, today, and whether it was for a mission or some training she was unsure. She checked her cybernetic arms as she ran, and was grateful her footwear muffled the sounds of her now-metallic feet. In a more perfect state the legs would function and appear as normal legs would. They were shaped that way, structured that way and so footwear did its proper job. Still, her tights were black and opaque now she found, though her knee-high boots did a good job of covering them. For some reason she was self-conscious of her new modifications.

When she arrived at the clearing, her Captain didn't so much greet her as instruct her to bare herself. However her 'coat' had undergone some modification since their latest mission and her promotion. It ended where the word 'Justice' ended, not trailing to her ankles like they usually did. She had also tightened the coat itself and its' sleeves, to fit her better, making it a far more functional piece than its' usual official counterpart. It was in fact a fairly tight top with the usual authoritative trimmings that tucked into her skirt-and-leggings now and so she shook her head. "Sorry, Captain. This time, it stays on." she said, confident she could handle herself at least well enough to escape, if the Captain really got out of hand.

"Why? I'm guessing .. we're gonna train. Yeah?" she asked, almost comical in her vacant, hopeful expression back at him. Meanwhile, her cybernetic arms inside were clicking and whirring, preparing flame pellets, bullets and steel rope for employment. "You do deserve a powerful Lieutenant, or even Commander someday after all."

Nezuel

"It has nothing to do with power" he would say to the cyborg marine as he turned around and sat down on a nearby rock facing her. He would point a finger at her "and it certainly doesn't have anything to do with stripping you, if thats what you're worried about." He jerked a thumb over to a nearby spot where his own captain's coat was hanging. "I'm not here as a marine, understand?" he had wanted to say they the two of them were but she still had that coat on now didn't she?

"You're powerful, no one can deny that. I could put you up again four men and you could beat them senseless whether it be in a straight up fight or a contest of skill and strength. You don't lack power, you lack the knowledge of holding back and responsibility." his hands swept along the ruin of the nearby area, decimated after the cyborg attack. "I don't know the specifics of what happened here but do you know what I see when I look around? I see the waste this place has become because of the misdirection and misuse of marines in their purpose. "

He stood up. "and for the record I don't deserve anything. But if I am to have people working under me I might as well they're competent. Enough so that they can avoid making sure two men can never walk again." he was, of course, referring to the man Megan had paralyzed from the head down in his test for becoming a captain. Besides that he was also talking about the man she had shot in both knees not that long ago. "So yes, we're going to train, if that what you prefer to call it, and you're going to attempt to not kill me."

Megan watched Nezuel give his monologue carefully, appraising his words and actions as he did them. It wasn't very hard, what with him being the size he was. What surprised her though was how sincere he seemed to be about all of this. Responsibility, at least in its purer form, wasn't something she was used to seeing him strive so strongly for. And so as he spoke her arms were crossed and what may have passed for a look of disbelief was on her face.

He had a pretty good sense to compliment her abilities while more or less telling her she utterly lacked restraint. She didn't think this was very fair: she hadn't realized how strong her own power coupled with that of metal could be, and in the case of the barber's assistant ... well. She could have taken far graver actions, and she had kept him in far better condition than he could have ended up in. Still, if it was restraint he wanted .... perhaps now wasn't the best time to show it. Not if they were about to train, as she was thinking they were.

"Its not a guaruntee they won't walk. People recover from injuries like that. But I have been working on keeping my targets alive, promise I have." she said as she uncrossed her arms and took a ready stance. "But 'we're not here as Marines', eh? So, does that mean I can fight you for real, then? I've never done that before."

"Quite" he said, watching her as she assumed an offensive stance. "You could have put a bullet in my head the first time we met...and fought." he would continue, meaning the time they had sparred in a marine base in what seemed like another world. That was before he had his hie hie no mi powers and now if she tried to do the same thing it wouldn't affect him in the slightest. His ice was almost as hard as steel and bullets would just ricochet from his skin in that case. Still, he was always one to take precautions in a battle and he would be ready for the lt.'s wit and skill to match his own.

"I know you've been trying, you don't have to say that you have. This is only supposed to measure your progress and see for yourself what aspects you have to worry about. I'll tell you if you've used enough power to kill a normal man after all. Or did you want to try and fight against me full force? That could certainly be interesting as well...Either way, make the first move."

Megan was watching her Captain carefully and assessing whether he'd try any kind of surprise attack while she was in-stance. Didn't feel like it. Still she couldn't help but be on guard no matter the moment -- he was just too formidable to ignore. She thought back to his leaping rooftop to rooftop. She kept her distance of perhaps a dozen yards, aware enough to be able to raise her arms in the time it took for him to cover the distance between them.

"Sure, but I'm not that out of control you know. I can at least say now I know the extent of my arms' destructive abilities." she said as the weaponized holes in her palm opened up. While he was speaking, she pointed them at him. "First move? Fine, then. Let me try something and see how it goes." she said as she kept both arms pointed at him.

From one cybernetic hand-hole came flames that fanned out in a burst akin to that of a flamethrower. It enveloped the area Nezuel was standing in. The other metal hand burst forth and beam-like, concentrated stream of fire aimed right at his face and aimed to smash into and melt/bore through. "I just had these put in." she yelled over the sound of the flames she was outputting. "How are they?" she asked before eventually stopping the fiery onslaught to assess the effects of her new weapons.

Nezuel

Nezuel would admit that he didn't expect the marine girl in front of him to suddenly sprout flame throws on her arms. He knew she was a cyborg, of course, but hadn't known about her modification. When it had come to this spar he had assumed that she wouldn't be able to hurt him in any meaningful way yet it seemed like hat might not be the case if he were to careless. That being said he was never too careless and always cautious. All he had to do was exploit the flaw inherent in Megan's construction.

A flamethrower didn't always work as people assumed. It was not simple air thrown at a person but some sort of fuel. Although Megan's source of fuel might be highly dense (or she has extra storage somewhere) it would also eventually run out. Compared to Nezuel whose abilities were only limited in their duration based upon how long he could fight...it would become a battle of attrition. On that he would win.

As the flames raced at him he held up his hand, focusing his power to his palm to create a globe of cold dense air. Finally he released it, sending the wave of ice at the stream of fire, the wind freezing the ground around it as it flew. The two, almost as dense of solid attacks, met with an odd amount of force, stabilizing as steam rose from the contact point.

Megan found herself being pushed back with the sort of force she'd attribute to fire extinguishers. Not pushed back; but the force of the flames she emitted bending her metallic arms a little as she watched the fire fly towards Captain Nezuel. He was some target, not hard to miss at this range. But he had been prepared for her charge, and already had a counterattack of his own.

The two elements collided, her fire and his ice smashing into one another and causing a cloud of steam to burst open and fan out between them. He's lowering the power of his ice. He's doing it one-armed .. and that was pretty much everything the flamethrowers had. she said as she let up, the fire pouring from her hands fizzling to a sizzle, steaming out the holes in her palms.

As she did so, and taking advantage of the steam cloud between them she started firing live bullets out of her right hand beside and around Nezuel's position. She wasn't in the mood for any accidents, and she still had enormous respect for the gun in general. Especially the ones she'd installed.

As she fired bullets out of one hand, she fired out her more sturdy, titanium alloy rope dart mechanism beside Nezuel's position with the other. She simultaneously whipped it around with the aim to entangle Nezuel's legs while his sight was still obscured.

Nezuel

Nezuel was, infact, lowering the power of his ice but perhaps not quite as she assumed he was. While she may have thought that one or two arms had something to do with the strength of his latest attack it infact didn't. What he was doing, on the other hand, was simply not eroding and overwhelming her with the constant threat of his attack. He could have, had he chosen to, already frozen the ground that the two of them were standing on either forcing her to be mobile and defensive while trying to avoid the ice or otherwise attack him offensively while being frozen. That was nothing to say of his other ideas on how to alter a battlefield to fit his own goals and ideas.

He knew that the next move of someone in the situation with a fog obstructing ones view would be to either wait it out and sneak around the fog or to attack blindly into it with the hope of hitting your target. He didn't peg Megan as one to attack wildly when her ammo was (he assumed) limited and could run out. Still he took the safe route and made for himself a small little pillar of ice that got him out of the range of the bullets the flew past him, some ricocheting off of the ice pillar. Some time later her secondary attack followed, wrapping around his column.

He had to wonder what she'd do. Would she assume that the pillar was him and try to pull him or try to retract her cable to fly towards him. Either way the fog still made the situation rather unknown to him, an idea he rather liked.

As Megan continued to work within the steam that they'd created during her initial push with the flamethrower, Nezuel had already erected a barrier between them. The ice pillar took her shots; one, two, three, four, five of them smashed into the ice and stayed there. The rope she'd fired to wrap around his legs also wrapped around the pillar, and Megan was faced with a decision. She could either let herself be propelled towards Nezuel, or, disengaged and continue trying to take him on from a distance.

Megan opted for neither. She eased the hydraulics on her rope. Even though it was wrapped around the ice pillar Nezuel had made, it no longer pulled her in towards it. Next, she reached back and put on the Secateurs, a gauntlet with large-scissor-like weapons that she brought down and began making slashing gouges into the ice before her. She then used these as footholds, and released the hydraulics in her arm -- pulling her hard towards the ice pillar, and, Nezuel.

She kept the Secateurs in the ice on the floor, and this in fact guided her propulsion towards him. As she passed the ice pillar the rope dart snapped back into her palm. She was almost skating towards Nezuel now but, using the Secateurs to guide her through the ice she glided parallel to his position now, as opposed to straight towards him. "You've just given me the idea to make myself some super-adhesive shoes that can wall-walk on your ice, even. Thank you, Captain." she said to him. And she was thankful -- it was something that fit her style of maneuvering perfectly. She then raised her free cybernetic hand and once again fired the last remaining four bullets out of her hand chamber at him, before ten empty bullet shells popped out her forearm; whirring and clicking could be heard as she reloaded, still skating past him perhaps half a dozen yards away now.

Nezuel

Nezuel ignored that Megan seemed able to penetrate his iron-hard ice with simple bullets. Perhaps she had special ammo in that arm of hers or otherwise had modified her firing mechanism to fire bullets that could oppose him. Either way he noticed as she slowly made her way up and towards him, gliding and skating along on the ice pillar he had made. For a second he thought about showing her a bit of the error of her ways by freezing the ice that she was skating on, having his ice form around the blade stopping her from moving. But all in all he supposed he might as well let it slide, he wasn't one to stop a girl from having some fun.

Still he felt somewhat offended when she fired the next volley of bullets at him. Since the importance of the ice pillar was already gone from his plan he was already forming into ice and descending down the ice pillar as the bullets hit the ice-him and ricocheted to no one knows where. At ground level he would phase out of the ice, reforming as he put a hand on the ice pillar. "I'm always happy to oblige a beautiful woman" he would say. "Mobility is always important after all." He was, of course, not only referring ot her idea of shoes that could allow her to traverse his ice but his ability to move through that very ice. With that being said he would make a quick chopping motion with his hand against the ice, allowing it to crack and crumble as the ice pillar was split by his small attack and started to fall like a tree.

"Aww, aren't you sweet, Captain. You aren't one for protocol, are you?" Megan said as she watched her shots bounce harmlessly off her superior officer. She had expected no less -- Nezuel's toughness was something people were beginning to talk about, now -- but she was surprised at the ineffectiveness of her own weapon nevertheless. She would have to find another way to penetrate his defenses -- if that was even possible for her.

Still skating along the groove her Secateurs were making in the ice, she also curled her metallic feet, shoes and all, into the ice for better grip. Normally, a person would face broken or painful toes at this but with her metallic feet she was able to cut a sharp turn and use the momentum to swerve sharply towards Nezuel.

This done, she then used the final bit of her initial momentum to first skate and then lunge through the air at him. This time, she leaped through the air straight at him almost as if to hug him, and this was in fact the appearance she had in mind. "I've got something hot in store for you, boy." she purred at him, her tone of voice utterly changed. As she neared right at his position -- and she knew he wanted the hug -- she'd grab his cheeks with both her hands as if about to give him a kiss .... and then blasted her flamethrowers out her hands full flush into his face as hard as her cybernetic flame emitters could muster.

Nezuel

Nezuel certainly had time to react to the mechanical woman that was falling off of his ice pillar and towards his direction. He certainly could have jumped out of the way, or grabbed and frozen her arms, or made a wall of ice in her way...but he didn't. No, he mad the conscious decision to let her get one hit in on him. It would let her build some amount of confidence in this fight and motivate her to continue to fight at 100% of her power. It certainly didn't have anything to do with the seductive tone of her voice or the brief view down her shirt as she flew towards him...none at all.

Getting two flame throws to the face would hurt anyone and Nezuel was no exception. That close to the expelled flames they were like a wall of every that sent him flying back a few feet onto his back and on the grass of the battlefield. Smoke centered around his face as he lay on the ground for a few seconds. "Releasing control level 3" he would say as the smoke swiftly and suddenly *popped* out of existence. From his hand on the ground and grass beneath his a white sheet of ice would spread encompassing a 50 meter distance in all directions. Megan had nothing to worry about, yet, as the ice seemed to skip the area next to her and should she step on the ice it wouldn't travel up her body and try to freeze her...though the area she had been would be glazed over soon after she left it.

Nezuel would suddenly shatter and break into ice, only to reform quickly and seemingly unharmed from her previous attack. "Effective, quite painful." he would say "but it would only be useful in a battle that wasn't attrition." He would extend his right hand, palm facing away from her, as he formed a sword of ice with the blade and guard facing towards the ground. He would bring it back to the center of his body as his hands were encased in a suit of knight-like ice armor, eventually spreading to his entire body. Upon his head a third eye made of ice formed. "If you get to call me boy...you'll have no objection if I start referring to you as beautiful, right?"

Megan had actually put off some kind of battle cry, more a scream of rage if anything as she'd poured a full canister of the flamethrowers' power inter how own Captain's face. She knew it wouldn't kill him; it'd be kind of funny if it did hurt him in the end, though she seriously wondered how much harm it would do against a master of the ice element himself. Just as she was beginning to believe in her own abilities as of late, she truly believed in Nezuel and his abilities as well. This was second to her last-ditch attack, and, it helped .. for a moment.

And then her Captain fizzled the last effects of her attack out of existence. Megan couldn't help but feel a rush of heated rage .. or fear .. or was it literally, actually ..? Whatever it was, she was not feeling the effects of the ice now spreading beneath and behind her, encompassing the battlefield around them as she realized she would have to rely on her Secateurs to skate her around full time, now. But at least, that was all it was doing. Spreading.

She had the distinct impression Nezuel was humoring her as he broke into pieces and reformed after she laid her attack, even as she put her cybernetic hands and feet into grooves she made in the ground. Watching Nezuel transform, Megan put her hands and cybernetic feet deep in and crouched low. "Heh ... I'm not that great, am I? You're big, tough ... protective too. Ask the ice pillar. But can you catch a metal cat?" she asked as she made as if to use the grooves to spring at him, fired a bullet out of one of her cybernetic hands at his noggin to distract him, and then dove at him to launch a roundhouse at his shin.

Nezuel

Megan wouldn't be able to move very far from her initial position. Yes she fired another bullet at him and moved towards him with the intent to kick him in the shin but neither of these blows would connect with him...or at least with not part of him that she would consider to be apart of his body. From the ice upon the ground a wall of ice would form, rising to block both the bullet and her view of him. Yet he wasn't finished as three more walls erupted from the ground. They didn't exactly trap her in as the roof was still accessible yet that was all apart of his plan. "Releasing control lv 1" From within her ice square Megan would be forced to the ground as an enormous pressure exerted itself from above. Several seconds passed before the pressure dissipated, leaving her free to exit the ice cage.

When she exited she would notice several things, the first was that the surrounding foliage was gone, perhaps eliminated by some attack from Nezuel. It might take her a few second to realize that she wasn't at ground level anymore but more that 50 meters above the point she had been before, upon a gigantic ice pillar that surrounded her from Nezuel's previous move. Still, he wasn't finished as a bubble would start to form from the edges of the pillar moving up until the entire battleground was sealed off from the outside world. Behind her the cage would sink back down into the ice.

Nezuel stood there, his sword still in hand waiting for the reaction. Megan always had something to say and some plan of attack yet he wondered which would come first to her in this situation. Regardless as soon as she opened her mouth a ice replica of Nezuel's hands would wrap around her feet, as strong as steel. He wondered if she would look at him as he dropped the sword he had formed earlier into the ice, its absorption by the icy floor reflected as several hundred began to form on the top of the dome in a wave formation. He lifted his hand and brought it down, along with the swords.
