Ben vs Serpington sparring

[serpington]

Suddenly lunging forward i get inside your kick, practically hugging you with one arm to trap your leg over my shoulder while kicking the other leg out from under you. Letting go of you as you fall but using my tail to make sure you don't hit your head to hard and offering you a hand to get back up. "Try thinking outside the box, creativity goes a long way."

[Ben]

I catch my breath an laugh a bit "yeah I'm much more of a defensive fighter if you haven't noticed yet" I grab your hand and use it to help pick myself up

[serpington]

"Nothing wrong with that. What kind gear do you normally fight with?" Walking away a bit I grab my small bag from the ground.

[Ben]

"well I usually fight with a rifle. And equipment wise I'm usually in some heavier stuff"

[Ben]

(Hey Serp I told Tybalt here he could sit in and watch if he wanted I hope that's ok with you)

[serpington]

"Cool." Looking down at myself I shrug "This pretty much sums up my armour and as for weapons....." Reaching into the bag I calmly take out four swords one at a time, all four different lengths and colours. "I swap between these. Here." Lightly tossing one of them to you for you to examine I place the other three on the ground.

The blade is roughly 2 feet long and relatively thin, shaped like a katana but with less of a natural curve to it. It's length is multi-coloured, mostly varying shades of blue and green with spots of red and yellow that look faintly like blurred flowers with the grip and guard continuing the pattern.






(And that's perfectly fine, I'm happy for him to join in a bit if he desires and you have no problems with it)

[Ben]

I smile as I take the kata like weapon from Serpington "it's a nice blade" I get in the ready stance with the sword and give it a few swings before handing the weapon back to Serpington "you're a fast fighter, I'm more of a brute force kind of guy" I laugh a bit "so I take it you would like to fight with blades" I reach into my bag and pull out a couple bayonets "at least these won't dismember" I toss one to Serpington "I'd like not to lose a leg today"

[serpington]

"They're hard to replace as well. And might as well see what you've got." Placing the sword and the other three over near Tybalt I happily take one of the bayonets in hand, testing it out a bit before getting into stance. "Would you like me to be the aggressor this time?"

[Ben]

"Sounds good to me" I flip the knife once before I place the knife in my boot, I get into my ready stance keeping my wrist facing my self and I keep my arms close to my chest I nod slightly signaling that I'm ready

[serpington]

Pressing the blunt side of the blade against the underside of my fore arm I quickly jab at your head, bringing the blade around and letting go of it, leaving it in mid air for a second before throwing a heavier punch with my other arm, catching the blade in the air and driving it towards you in a stabbing motion.

[Ben]

I turn my body away from the first strike then block the heavier punch a little too late still taking somewhat of a hard blow to the side I recover quickly and jump back slightly from the stabbing motion but before the knife reaches my body I smack your thrusting hand down before stepping back in to engage with my other hand sending a quick strike at your chest. I then grab your shoulders and pull you in to knee your head

[serpington]

Taking the punch and getting grabbed I put both arms between your knee and my head, blocking the shot and also keeping the blade facing outwards, the leading edge pressing against your leg when the shot hits. Shifting my mass again I drop to my knees, hoping to pull you off balance while aiming to run the blade along your gut with a few quick strokes.

[Ben]

As you drop I let go of your shoulders pulling me just slightly off balance only allowing a light cut to hit my stomach nothing be enough to need an emergency room. When you hit the ground I side kick hard at your throat I jump back and draw my knife quickly throwing it at your chest anticipating your guard to drop if you block my heavy side kick

[serpington]

Using my tail for leverage I lean back, both the kick and knife barely passing over my body before I quickly jump back to my feet, scooping up your knife with my tail and tossing it back at you, aiming for your forehead but making sure that if it hits it'll hit handle first. "Quick thinking, you almost had me there for a second."

[Ben]

I catch the knife and catch my breath "It's all about knowing what your opponent might do next at least that's what I always learned" I lift up my shirt and clean the cut with an iodine wipe before I grab a bandage and wrap it around my abdomen
