A Match to Remember [Isikiro]

Subject: A Match to Remember [Isikiro] Sun Oct 26, 2014 3:41 pm

Abasi Khuchtei	Somewhere in the less populated regions of the Agrarian Zone, Abasi sat in silence. His legs were crossed over one another to form the ideal lotus position; his hands rested comfortably on his thighs. The earthbender exhaled sharply, and as the day went dark due to the closing of eyes, a whole new image of the landscape was made manifest in his mind. His eyes were limited to the horizon and the amount of light his pupils could take in. This new perception, this seismic sense, used the faintest of vibrations to paint a far more vivid picture of his surroundings. It was almost too much to bear.

Isikiro Sherazi Anazalrok	It was not common knowledge that lavabending was an actual bending discipline, mostly because so many people thought it impossible. Then again, the same had been said about metalbending, and probably in the distant, distant past, about bending at all. But similarly, it was not common knowledge that Isikiro was a lavabender. She had not really told anyone, and so only those who had been there when she actually did it, had ever really known. On the other hand, mastery over the rocks she threw was a very nice sensation, and she rode the earth triumphantly on her way outside of the city. she was a master at the art of earthbending, and that frankly was a nice feeling to know. However, Isi was a humble young lady, and so was not the type to boast. If people learned of her skills, it was usually from her showing rather than telling. On her way through the Agrarian Zone though, she ran into an unusual sight. There was a beast of a man--not too dissimilar to the man she was actually dating, but she could tell that they were not the same person. She did not speak, but she was approaching. if anyone was using seismic senses... they'd note her presence right away...

Abasi Khuchtei	What was this? The presence of another was revealed to him almost immediately. Abasi couldn't quite make out the person's face, but he could tell a few things about them: This person was an earthbender and they were headed in his general direction. Wondering who it could be, Abasi opened his eyes whilst standing to his feet. He squinted his eyes a bit to get a better look at the woman that approached on a platform of earth. Based on what he could see, this wasn't anyone he'd met before. He wondered what her reason for coming here was. Was she just passing through, or did she somehow know that he was out here? Abasi folded his arms behind his back as he patiently awaited for her arrival.

Isikiro Sherazi Anazalrok	Isikiro continued her approach, now wondering a bit who this curious individual was. chances were it was not someone hostile, but even if it was, Isi was not afraid. She was renowned for the fights she had won. earthbending or not, Isi was a formidable opponent with her fists and her feet. She jumped off of her earthen platform, her large feet hitting the ground, and continued towards the man on foot. She wasn't exactly even sure what she was doing, but it seemed like a good idea. She was no detector of spiritual or elemental prowess, and so she simply approached the man, greeting him with a simple wave.

Abasi Khuchtei	Abasi quirked a brow in confusion, raising his hand to return the wave as a friendly gesture. "Have you come here for me?" he asked. "If so, what do you want?" he spoke in a frigid tone. He folded his arms in front of his massive chest, making sure he kept his guard up in case this woman tried to attack him. She wouldn't be the first to try, and undoubtedly wouldn't be the last.

Isikiro Sherazi Anazalrok	When the man spoke, Isi stood her ground. "Ah wuz simply c'min this way anyhoo." she explained. At one point in her life, she had been shy about her thick country accent, but nowadays, she pretty much embraced it. If someone wanted to make fun of it, they could... although Isi would probably deck them hard across the face and challenge them to a fight. "n, yeh... Ah dun even know who y'ar. there ain't no reason t'get all 'fensive 'nless y'er tryin'a hide sumthin' 'r wutnot. but even if y'ar, Ah dun' think it's any've mah bizness, so Ah guess Ah'd be on m'way." Although in truth, she didn't really even know where she was going, and so instead of bringing her earthen platform back up, she simply stood where she was, glancing this way and that curiously.

Abasi Khuchtei	The first thing that caught Abasi's attention was the woman's accent. He'd heard his fair share of accents in his day, but none that were as robust and prominent as hers. The displeasure of him having to decipher her words and match them with their non-accented equivalents showed on his face. "Who's being defensive?" he asked, quirking a brow at her subtle presupposition. "It was a simple question, and quite the justifiable one seeing that I'm just about the only person out here." The situation was becoming more awkward by the second, was she just going to stand there? If so, he'd just return to honing his skills with his seismic sense.

Isikiro Sherazi Anazalrok	"well whatche' doin' all th'way out here?" Isikiro was fairly shameless and not exactly shy. It didn't mean that she'd throw her clothes off at the drop of a hat or anything so dramatic, but it was hard to embarrass a humble woman--and nearly impossible to humiliate her. Really, she didn't care much for this conceited ape, but now her curiosity was piqued, and perhaps what little pride she had, now felt threatened. If he expected her to back down now, he was in for a disappointment. She was much stronger than her age or size might have suggested (although she did sport a rather solid frame with broad shoulders and solid thighs), and while she was no real detector of bending energy, she did not think that this was some ordinary commoner she was dealing with.

Abasi Khuchtei	"I come here because it's quiet." he responded, "Lets me practice mindfulness, do some meditation." Abasi didn't bother to mention him training his seismic sense, or anything training-related for that matter. He summoned a pillar of rock from the ground before molding it into the shape of a chair. Kicking one leg on the other and folding his massive arms in front of his chest as he sat, Abasi took a second to look over the girl. Short, muscular legs and a sturdy upper body. She had the an earthbender's build; that didn't surprise him, though. "But, that ended when you came along."

Isikiro Sherazi Anazalrok	"well tha's 'n easy fix." Isikiro quipped, her brown eyes narrowing for a moment as she analyzed the large man in front of her. She had noticed earlier his slight disdain for her voice, but frankly, he could kiss her ass if it was a problem at all. "it ain't lahk this is th'only place t'do this... 'specially since Ah usually c'mere t'meditate m'self... hone m'skillz 'n that kinda thing. "you a bender at'all? ya any good?" This was not a challenge to fight as much as it was just curiosity, but if he challenged her, she would be obligated to accept by the mere fact that it was wired in her mind that way.

Abasi Khuchtei	Well yes, Abasi supposed that this wasn't the only place one could come to in order to achieve piece of mind, but that didn't really matter. He'd chosen the Agrarian Zone as his own little domain and he didn't plan on relocating. He didn't bother answering the first question as he felt it'd be redundant. He literally just created a chair out of stone in front of her and she was now asking him if she was a bender? She either didn't know what to say, or she just wasn't very bright. Even so, Abasi figured he could entertain her inquiries for a while. It wasn't like he was doing anything paramount. "I'd say I'm fairly proficient." Low-balling as usual. "Of course, that can't be said without a little bias on my part." He raised his shoulders in a light shrug. "You'd be better off finding out for yourself." It wasn't a serious challenge, but a challenge nonetheless.

Isikiro Sherazi Anazalrok	The more they interacted, the more Isikiro felt like it would be for the best if this man was knocked a few pegs down off of his high horse. Her first question was somewhat rhetorical, although at the same time she suspected that if he wasn't a bender, that she'd be able to whoop him real nice and easy. With a crack of her knuckles, the stocky woman stood her ground. "le's fahnd out th'n." she suggested, "jus' you, me, 'n th'rocks 'round us." She was up for it. She wanted to see just how "good" was good. "not t'th'death 'r nuthin'... jus' a demonstration of skill." Although she wouldn't have offered if she wasn't okay with getting a little roughed up. That was usually a natural consequence of a sparring match... and now she wondered if this man was up for it or not.

Abasi Khuchtei	"No need for a fight to the death." he replied. "I'm sure that neither of us have dying pegged on the top of our to-do lists." With the two in agreement, Abasi began to prepare himself. As if by mental command, his terran throne slid backward through the ground until he was a good one-hundred feet away from her. He figured that since he was the one to propose the challenge, it would be appropriate for him to initiate as well. The towering male moved behind the throne and stomped his foot, sending a ripple through the ground that tore the chair into a dozen chunks of rock of varying size. Then, he struck, launching the projectiles toward her one-by-one and sometimes two-by-two. It was nothing serious. He merely wanted to see how she'd react to his attack.

"but a little ruffin' up ain't gunna kill no one, 'specially not us." She said it the way she did to imply that she wasn't expecting to come out of this unscathed any more than he would, so to speak. Neither of them were invincible. As the man distanced himself from her, Isikiro took a deep breath and focused on what was in front of her. She wasn't going to go all in on an impressive display of power--not this early anyways. For now, she anticipated his attacks. striking at the projectiles with her fists, using her own energy to shatter them one by one. She followed this up by shifting her weight and stamping her foot as she put it in front of her. The resulting fault line would be easy to dodge as well, but really, this was just a warmup act anyways.

Abasi Khuchtei	Nice and easy. . . He'd been here many times before, so it came natural to him. Assuming the Southern Mantis style--which appeared rather odd given his size, Abasi avoided the approaching attack by urging his feet to perform three shuffles to the right. His movements were perfunctory, calculated. The ground that divided the two benders was ripped apart to make way for two vertical waves of notched rock. They traveled on a straight line briefly before diverging onto two paths whose arcs ended at Isikiro's left and right flanks. To make matters worse for his opponent, a stomp of his foot caused what remained of the stone chair to lift off the ground, allowing him to hurl that on a straight path for her abdomen.

Isikiro Sherazi Anazalrok	Isikiro might not have been the most booksmart person out there, but she made up for it in streetsmarts, as well as in bending skills. People who made fun of the stocky country girl with the heavy accent usually learned the hard way that she meant business, and that those pants and jacket weren't hiding fat--they were hiding muscle--and were hiding a girl that knew how to fight. In an instant, she read the movements of the rocks moving towards her, and reacted. Stamping her feet, she brought up two jagged rocks slightly larger than herself, aiming them at the walls that were closing in on either side of her. ideally, it would smash through them as they collided above her. While that was happening, she created a slanted semi-pyramidal wall in front of her, tightening her fists as she hardened the rock even further. She sent these towards her opponent, also blocking most of the chair remnants as they smashed against Isi's pyramid walls and whizzed over Isi's head. One of her subtle movements with these angular walls was that they were actually gradually increasing in size as they approached her opponent. She briefly wondered if she would need to resort to bending metal or lava in this fight, but she wasn't about to start any time soon. There was no point in going all overkill. not yet.

Abasi Khuchtei	Not bad. Abasi took note of his opponent's defensive capabilities. Unsurprisingly, she had launched a counter attack of her own just as quick as he. Based on the brief exchange, he could already tell that this was going to be a match he'd come to remember. He raised his hand to his collar and with a mighty tug, tore the necklace from his neck. The balls that comprised it hit the grass with a muffled pat. If Isikiro ever wondered why he carried the onerously large spheres around his neck, she was about to have her speculations answered. Abasi extended one hand and quickly molded the metal balls into hammers of simple design. Twins. . .each featuring a sturdy handle with a wedged face on either side. He bent over to grab the weapons, apparently right-on-time too, since the backward-slanted walls created by the woman were closing in fast. No worries, Abasi used a pillar of rock jutting out from the sea of green petals to make himself airborne. Up-and-over the locomoting walls he went with a disquieting roar, a battle cry that could deter the mightiest of beasts. "HAAAARGH!" His considerable mass allowed him to descend with greater momentum than most. With one hammer poised in front of his chest and the other raised above his head, his intent was to strike the woman with enough force to flatten her under his weapon. She wouldn't die of course, but she would take considerable damage from such a blow if he succeeded.

Isikiro Sherazi Anazalrok	An occasionally asked question towards Isi was that if she was a coal miner, where were her tools? Well, the answer was fairly simple, and was also the explanation for her heavier footfalls. If he was going to play the metalbending game, than so would she. Curling her fingers, the black material of her boots dissipated, folding over on itself and becoming metal of its own. She was a metalbender as well, which only further augmented her choice of occupation as a miner. However, instead of forming weapons, she simply caused the metal to wrap around her hands and snake up her arms for safe keeping. She'd take the offensive in a moment. For the time, she pivoted around on her toes with surprising grace for someone who seemed so rigid and straightforward, before disappearing beneath the ground. Surrounded completely by earth, Isi practically swam through it, shifting it around her to pop up a few feet away and out of range from being smashed by a large pair of hammers. As she burst through the surface, she hit the ground hard with her feet, bringing more shards and fragments of rock up along with the ones that had become airborne from her emerging from the ground. A split-second later, these were all used as a swarm of projectile weapons. It was not enough to do much damage on its own, but it would be similar to getting attacked by a swarm of bees, so to speak--strength in numbers.

Abasi Khuchtei	The ground boomed and cracked under the weight of his hammer, causing pressure fractures to spread outward from the point of impact. He averted his gaze from the demolished earth beneath him and concluded that she had gone underground after failing to locate her in his vicinity. Abasi stomped a heavy foot, erected a twelve-by-six wall as an aegis against the shards of rock, and propelled the wall on a path headed straight for her. "I have to admit," he chimed, voice raised to a shout lest he be drowned out by the noise of their battle. "I'm thoroughly enjoying this already. What did you say your name was?" An odd time to try and make small talk, but what harm could it do?

Isikiro Sherazi Anazalrok	Isikiro cracked her knuckles through the metallic coating on her hands now, and took a deep breath. She stood her ground for a moment as the oncoming wall approached her, but before it mowed her down, she struck it with the right precision with those metal fists of hers, blasting a hole right through it so that she slipped through it like a game of human tetris. Of course, this spar was not an angry one, which was a nice little contrast to the slight tension she had felt when they first met. "Isikiro," she answered, clenching her fists as she brought up two large circular coluuns on either side of her, slicing them by spinning around and then hruling the disc-like slices at the larger man. "an' wut wuz y'ers again?"

Abasi Khuchtei	"Abasi." The bulky bender kept low to the ground, legs kept just a bit wider than shoulder-width with one in the lead and another in the rear. The disks moved with impressive speed, but that wasn't going to discourage him. Wait for it... Move. One, two 360 degree turns and he scantily avoided the two projectiles; the second one nearly grazed his face! The question was though, was he holding back so that she'd underestimate him, or was she just that good? The law of conversation of energy stated that energy was never destroyed, only converted to different forms. This was no different in this case. The momentum that Abasi had gained during his final spin transferred over to the wheel kick that followed, sending a spiraling column of rocks and dirt toward her. It was a move more common amongst firebenders, but Abasi had no problem incorporating it into his repertoire. Because of the nature of its arc, the attack ballooned outward in the center before veering left harshly. He was far from finished. A second spire of earth snaked up from the ground when he front flipped, seemingly magnetized to the leg he kept straight during the impressive display of acrobatics. Compelled by the force of gravity, the hastened descent of his heel caused his creation to move in a similar manner, although on a grander scale. His attacks were timed so that Isikiro would have to deal with an attack from her right, and above simultaneously. He wondered how she would fair.

Isikiro Sherazi Anazalrok	"mm." Isi acknowledged him in an ordinary tone. She simply didn't have anything else to add, rather than trying to be rude or anything. She didn't want to lose her much more important focus, after all. She calculated his attacks, kicking a large slanted slab of rock in front of her to evade that attack. It shot up at an angle towards her to prevent an attack raining down on her. She followed this up by flexing her arms and coating herself with a thick layer of rock. Isi's style didn't seem to follow traditional earthbending style... or really, any kind of bending style. It was distinct, with forceful but concentrated moves. The girl certainly knew what she was doing. Once she was coasted with the rock, she lunged and smashed through the attack form her right, and then launched the rock surrounding herself upwards in an arc almost like a catapult, breaking it apart top bring down a rain of shards. She immediately followed this up by sending her slab that had been used to cover herself earlier, towards him, splitting it into several thinner columns. the space between said columns was not enough for even a slender individual to slip through, so she was essentially just broadening the width of her attack without having to expend excess energy into that much additional rock. Frankly, she was having fun.

Abasi Khuchtei	This fight wasn't going anywhere. Neither of them had earned as little as a scratch, and it didn't seem that either of them had the upper hand. Are we matched? It appeared so based on the exchanges just far. Abasi was going to have to switch things up if he wanted to dictate the pace of the fight and he knew exactly how he'd go about it. The axes he'd crafted from his necklace went through another shift in appearance, this time encapsulating his hands and feet to form a pair of gloves and shoes. A stomp of the foot caused a wall of rock to rise in front of him. He followed up by altering the composition of the ground below him to set the wall on a path of forward locomotion, speeding forward to impact (and deflect) any projectile that happened to travel on the same path. As far the shards that loomed precariously overhead, Abasi need only advance as the wall moved forward, placing him outside of the position marked as their target. As drew closer, he punched dozens of square blocks from the wall that would zip toward Isikiro from various angles. Let's see how you deal with this. he thought to himself. Calling upon his skills in remote bending, Abasi divided and compacted the blocks into much smaller projectiles with a diameter about the same as a quarter. What followed was the spontaneous phase change in the rocks themselves. They began to glow an intense orange as the rock turned to magma. The little packets of molten rock would converge upon Isikiro with the whole of their impetus, threatening to punch tiny holes straight through anything in their path.

Isikiro Sherazi Anazalrok	Sure none of them had gotten a scratch, but the thing about their moves was that if they were not avoided, many of them could kill the other. Fortunately, it seemed highly unlikely that either of them would make that kind of a mistake. He certainly had more metal than she did--for she only had her hands coated, and was otherwise barefooted now. She calculated his assault, waiting and listening for the right time before she needed to strike. Her eyes did widen as she noticed the flecks of lava that were now coming towards her. Well... here she had always thought that she had seen the last of lavabending when she had fought... erm, that lavabender girl who was part of that Xuri organization. She hadn't exactly stopped to ask her for her name. "Achi! Lavabendin'?!" she was a bit surprised. Not that she was helpless against it or anything, but she didn't need to whip out her lavabending skills just because he did. not yet anyways. Using the earth to launch herself backwards, she brought her hands together, condensing the ground in front of her, before running at a full charge. As she charged, the ground below her started rising, almost like a ramp. However, at the end of said ramp was a 90-degree drop-off, and so anything that was not above the height of said 'ramp' would simply collide with it. After it was a certain height, Isi launched herself again, flipping through the air until she landed behind Abasi, where she struck the ground and made it rumble, hoping to throw him off balance.
