Juno was such a crap planet, especially when compared to Damaskia or Earth. The rodent part of R's brain was from the emerald planet, but the rest was programmed to love Damaskia unconditionally. It was an easy accomplishment, especially when there were monumental crap piles such as Juno in the universe. The most exciting thing about it was that ships were built there. Imagine having the only exciting thing about your home be a huge fuck-off factory in the middle of it.
"I read your rap sheet," said R casually as he approached the blonde celestial, "and I have to say, I'm a huge fan."
R wasn't lying to this Syric. He had genuinely enjoyed reading about the exploits of this character. In another life, they might have been allies. In fact, maybe Walid would be interested in springing him from prison once the bounty had been collected. After all, once the payday had happened they didn't need to be enemies anymore.
"But business is business. You understand." It wasn't a question. R did make a point of showing Syric the magical handcuffs. He wanted the celestial to understand that his life was not under threat here, that he was just going to be arrested. As R walked towards his current foe, twirling the cuffs absent-mindedly on his wrist, his battle sequence began to boot up. A Steel Legion Operating System, modified by the Damaskian Robotics Division and then modified further by the ASI Juturna, it took several moments to achieve full operating capacity. As soon as it did, R sprang into action. Engaging his jetpack in a blast of invisible energy, he rocketed towards his foe as he brandished the handcuffs like a weapon. Looking comically oversized while clutched in his tiny paws, the magical metal device was but a blur as it thundered down towards the left-hand side of Syric's jaw.
"Stop resisting." R had to suppress a laugh at his own genius. He was still laughing silently to himself as he reached into his utility belt to withdraw a small smoke bomb. The pellet was slightly smaller than his paw and when it exploded would quickly fill the nearby space with a thick blanket of smoke that would be near impossible to see through. Like the ninja from the televisions on Earth, R slammed it into the ground at the feet of the celestial fugitive and prepared to beat him into submission.
"I brought something special along just for you," said R into the smoke as he drew the bane of celestials from his pocket of dimensional space. The blade glinted in Juno's sunlight and promised bad things if Syric didn't lay down his arms and surrender. At least it would have promised that if the celestial could actually see it. Rather than wait for the smoke to clear, R elected to kick his jetpack into action once more to deliver two slashes at his opponent. The first was a rising sweep whose aim was to slash from left hip to right shoulder, while the second mirrored the first and came from the upward angle that represented the culmination point of the previous strike. It wasn't the smoothest of motions, but was quite good considering everything R had learned about swordplay had come from a book in the last two weeks.

Please Pardon my first Battle post in sometime. Hopefully it works ok...
It was as if the hunter’s approach was without concern from the hunted. The one known as Android R, simply walked into the bar, stating his purpose and showing the magical handcuffs that would be used to in theory lock up the Celestial troublemaker.
Syric was not on board with this idea. He turned around standing up and getting ready to draw his weapons when suddenly his mind began to flash from powers gained while on Kanassa looking for mental artifacts to steal. He only found a few, but he learned a great deal so it was worth his time spent there.
The first punch though somehow was missed in his mind and he was struck directly with the blow to his chin sending him stumbling backwards, but before he could get his balance back a ninja bomb was dropped at his feet filling the area with smoke.
Syric couldn’t see with the smoke, but his mind could see, but his vision wasn’t important. Well not his eye vision. It was his mental vision that helped out next as he saw though was much more dangerous than just the weapon strike. It was the weapon that was being used. One that was attuned to hurt his kind and stop their divine powers. It was a massive source of his trickery and with the blade itself here, it was going to make things much harder. He jumped to the side, balancing on his former chair as the sword barely missed connecting, but the follow up certainly didn’t miss causing a slash across his armor.
”Very impressive strike, but not going to be enough here.” He flipped backwards after the cut, pulling out his daggers finally as he landed on the ground. The artifacts in his grasp seemed to come with a flare in his energy as a divine white glow flared around him. He was nothing if not a showman. At least these weaklings on this backwater world would know just how cool he really was after beating this hunter up in a bar.
”That blade is dangerous,” A large smirk came across his face as he moved into a battle stance, ”But these are going to be much worse for you!”
His skill with these daggers was like a well performed ballet. He blasted towards the man who had threatened his freedom and began lashing out with a furious combination of stabbing and slicing motions.
The dagger in his right hand more curved and almost a short sword or smaller curved sword of sorts was blessed to old gods or something. He didn’t know, but what he did know is that the blue aura it radiated was ice cold to others. The dagger in his right, whispered in the wind. It seemed to struggle with no natural resistance when being used only being halted by the contact with his target.
His right hand began to flurry of attacks with a slash towards the raccoon’s arm and then the left came upwards towards the hunter’s ribs looking to simply pierce into his body. He then brough the left hand around into a slashing motion towards the face of his opponent before striking with the right hand towards the wrist of his foe.
Syric once again seemed to be almost prancing in the air with his movements twisting his body around before thrusting both hands weapons towards opposite shoulders of his opponent.
As he lashed out with the last attack, the smile still shown bright on his face, ”So are you are rabbit or something? Not sure I have seen any like you before.”

R's quarry didn't seem at all worse for wear following his initial salvo. That probably shouldn't have been surprising because of his lack of weapon mastery, but it was. He always assumed that all of his plans would go perfectly at all time. When the celestial unsheathed his twin blades, R let out a low whistle. They were impressive weapons, to be sure.
"I believe you," responded R, "but its still not too late to come quietly."
What happened next was sheer poetry. This celestial really was something else. The blades moved as though they were an extension of his arms and were much better than R's clumsy strikes. Each strike found purchase within the furry flesh of R's body but didn't penetrate more than a centimetre. Beyond that was the alloy of demonic and celestial origin that was quite resistant to even the strikes from this whirlwind of celestial. With each strike, a battle damage assessment flashed across R's consciousness and alerted him to what was going on. He shook his head in annoyance. This was going to be more difficult than he thought.
"I'm a raccoon... ish." R responded, not going into further detail.
He wielded the sword once more, aware of a stiffness in his joints resulting from the surprisingly cold blade belonging to one of the two being wielded by this master swordsman. He hadn't noticed it yet, having become accustomed to ignoring the error messages that scrolled across his vision but he would soon become aware if this creature was successful in sapping his energy.
R threw the sword like a javelin, straight at the boy's chest. He followed along in its wake, scurrying on all fours to remain out of his eye line long enough to swing a clawed fist at his foe's thigh. As the sword arrived, he would seize it upon the success or failure of the attack and bring it in an overhead slash towards the boy's shoulder. As the blade arrived at its destination, one hand would free itself from the hilt of R's weapon to deliver a jab directly at the point of his foe's nose. Immediately thereafter, he would plant his foot in the centre of the boy's face with a view to combining a light strike with a jump to get some distance. He spun as he moved away, once again attempting a long slice vertically that would hit the boy's armour from navel to throat.
Having bought himself some distance, R seized a grenade from his belt and threw it while continuing to backpedal. This grenade contained a miniature sun which was in the process of sending out a solar flare. This flare would lash the space where the boy now stood. With any luck, the gambit would allow R some space to continue carving him up before the celestial reverted once more to his deadly swords dance.

The sword flew through the air crashing into his chest before a follow up by a claw into his thigh. The rabbit or racoon or whatever he was actually had some good power behind his strikes. It was time though to play into his counter game a little bit here. He had the daggers and his mastery over them was going to be an advantage he planned to exploit as he normally did in combat.
The mischievous Celestial moved his arms, the daggers still just extensions of his own arms. As the sword came down the cold attuned dagger smacked it away with a slicing motion, moving the blade down into the hunter’s arm as it tried to slice into his furry flesh while the other moved to simply deflect the follow up blow this time around.
Syric’s eyes raised though as his opponent showed some acrobatics himself moving in the air as he attempted another combination of strikes. ”You need to chill out!” He said opening his mouth as he finished and blowing out a cold blast of energy meant to simply freeze his opponent in place and keep him out of danger from whatever attacks were coming at him this time around.
The problem was he was so confident in his tactics that he ignored the next grenade that was dropped. It was meant to take his vision like the last one, but this one was much, much more dangerous as it not only took his vision, but also caused him to stumble backwards. The chair he kicked over in his stumble from the sudden burst of light was just collateral damage. The real concern now was how long before he could see again and if his mind’s eye could keep him from being dismantled in the upcoming sequence.
”MY EYES!!!” He yelled, ”I’ll get you for this you dirty rat!”

R's face was frozen in a sarcastic sneer as the block of ice hardened around him. Inwardly he found himself applauding the celestial's sense of humour but outwardly he had his game face on.
"Clever," responded R, "how many months did you spend thinking that up?"
The solar grenade did exactly what it was supposed to and then some. Enraged, the celestial seemed to be stumbling around trying to regain his sense of vision. It would be remiss of R not to bracket him back in to where the diminutive android was standing. R concentrated for a moment, stealing energy from the angel whose grace powered him to light up his blade like a holy star. The way he swung it next was anything but holy. R hacked mercilessly at any part of the celestial's body that he could, his movements almost possessed. As the light of the blade extinguished, R stowed it in his dimensional pocket. Still manic, he started gnawing on his forearm. It was quite similar to what happened when he first met Walid, except this time he chewed through and tore the limb away at the elbow. To this limb he quickly strapped a rocket before setting it loose in the direction of the still stumbling celestial.
By R's calculations, the effects of the grenade should be wearing off soon so he elected to do something demonic to truly terrify the celestial as he emerged from his blindness. R erupted in demonic blade flames that swirled around him before gathering in the tip of his arm stump. Steadying the stump with his remaining hand, R fired the hell flash. It was night light that spread from these flames but darkness. It quickly blanketed the establishment, terrifying the patrons as they struggled to understand what the hell was going on around here.
"I'm right here. Come and get me," R responded, settling back into his defensive fighting stance as the nanotechnology that Jutters installed rebuilt his arm.

His eyes where burning. It wasn’t good at all. The blindness wasn’t going away, but it was likely the poor defense he had against it and his body being saddened by his attempt or lack there of attempt. It likely should have even had a high chance to do exactly what it did, but the Kai’s knew his laziness and had punished him for that. He would have to talk to them about that sometime because this was now going very wrong for him.
The only thing that helped him out was the speaking of the rodent. Syric couldn’t see him and his senses were not helping either, but what he could do normally was utilize his foresight in moments like this. Even that though was failing him. All he could tell was that the sound of his opponent meant he was coming right for him. He simply moved his body and weapons to cover up his most vital areas. That was all he could do and so the strikes aimed at his less vital areas would strike right into his body. He grimaced in pain backing up once more only to have a rocket strike him right into the body and send him flying back once more.
He rubbed his eyes some more, trying to clear his vision, but having no luck doing so. The only saving grace was the terror in the patron’s voices as his opponent gathered energy. It was enough to cause him to brace himself and cover up from the flames that filled the area.
”Alright so out of here I go.”
Syric was done with this. He needed to create some distance to at least help him until he could see once again. He decided the easiest way to deal with this was straight up. He took flight going through the roof of the tavern and into the skies of Juno. The sky was his favored fighting space anyways, but still he had the same issue. HE COULDN’T SEE!
He rubbed his eyes some more, trying to recover his vision. He had a thought suddenly flicker in his mind, maybe bait him into making a mistake and if he realized it, then maybe his plan would make his dealing with a continued onslaught that much easier.
”I have certainly been hit harder than that. You need to try harder if you are actually going to accomplish what you came for and arrest me.” Syric taunted from the skies.
He waited a moment, hoping his opponent would take the bait before using his basic instincts and forming a barrier around himself with divine energy hoping that if the hunter went this route and even if he didn’t, he would be fine to hold off from being hit with these attacks until hopefully he would be able to see again.

The celestial stumbled around in the face of R's overwhelming assault. Whether it was dumb luck or a level of skill that surpassed the need to see was anyone's guess but Syric did manage to avoid some of the brutal sword strikes and android wizardry. That is, until he shot through the roof and started taunting R to follow him. Well of course the diminutive chaos raccoon would follow him - the purpose was to arrest him after all.
"No," responded R sarcastically, "I'm going to prove you wrong by not following you."
Rolling his eyes, R held he paws aloft, palms facing out. As he started the chant, burning energy started to erupt around him once more. Rather than hellfire, there were simple orange flames. They looped around his body, threatening to burn the couple of stragglers who were yet to flee. The flames danced around him for a few moments before rushing up his arms and into the quicksilver ki orb that was suspended out the front of his hands. As he moved them to beside himself, the energy began to pulse and swirl within the sphere. This kamehameha was different - it was compressed into a blast instead of being shot as a beam.
Though his scouter had failed him, the celestial could not escape R's divine senses, nor was he particularly good at evading notice as he looped around in the sky completely blind. As he finished speaking the words, R fired the blast straight up at his foe through the sizeable hole in the roof. Somehow Syric had hit a load-bearing beam and collapsed the portion of the roof that R's blast had just shot through. R took a few moments to watch his blast as it approached Syric before activating his jetpack and zoomed up in its wake. As he drew ever closer, his irises began to glow red with power as he disabled a number of the governors preventing an overload to his circuits.
As soon as the kamehameha exploded, R sought his foe once more and fired the twin beams of energy from his eyes, tracking his foe as he moved to maximise the discomfort that Syric was feeling.
"You can end this at any time. Surrender and I will take you in peacefully. I can even cure your blindness," R said to the apparently still blind celestial.

Well, his taunts were simply responded with No. That was a fair answer, but as he listened for anything else he heard the chanting from where he had just come from. That was not good. Not good at all for him and he was going to need to do something about it.
The lucky part of the Turtle Hermit chant was the last part had a distinct part. He would have to utilize that to his advantage. His vision was still not back, but he could at least feel the surroundings. Listening closely, he waited for that last part and let his mind guide him. It wasn’t perfect, but it was enough for what he was going to do next. He vanished from the location, leaving an after image of himself behind as he shifted just a few feet to the side, trying to at least get away from the blast.
The movement somehow helped with another thing. As another blast struck against his barrier, his vision returned. He looked right down at the hunter this time and smiled, ”GOT YA!” He proclaimed before rushing in once again with his daggers drawn.
He turned his body slighting shifting as he tried to put himself in the right location to strike out with a forceful jab at his target’s chest. The real part of this technique though was as he would be connecting with the strike he also seemed to fade once more into an image only to have another strike try to stab the Android in the back.
The Celestial nonchalantly dropped the wind dagger flying backwards as he winked with his right eye and sent the debris he had created as he blasted out of the tavern flying right at his target. It was only part of the ploy though as he opened his free hand after the debris found its mark or was defended to reveal it was empty. Doing so also brough the deadly dagger he had dropped flying back to him, looking to pierce itself right through the arm of the one trying to arrest him.
”Why would I surrender now?” He said gripping both daggers once more, ”I am having way too much fun with you!” He lashed out once more looking to slash into the raccoons arm to start before stabbing hopefully at the created piercing he had given moments prior, but if not at least maybe creating another wound with this strike.

Sorry about the formatting. I've been moving and don't have access to my computer yet.
“Well look who decided to open his damn eyes,” responded R, though his sarcastic grin quickly disappeared as the target seemed to hit him in the front and the back at the same time. The ghostly strike drew numerous queries from within his logic circuits, but he had nothing to tell them.
The celestial ditched one of his daggers and went on the retreat, sending several pieces of the tavern flying at R as he did so. The diminutive Android was incensed. Throwing buildings around was his thing. With an angry grunt, he reached out his hand to the rest of the rubble to grab several of the fallen beams. They interposed themselves between R and the flying rubble, preventing it from hitting him. The celestial had tricks, but R had one inside him. He would prevail this day.
His resolve was not damaged by the sudden reappearance of one of the daggers sticking out of his arm. It was gone as quickly as it had come and the wound closed over quickly thanks to Juturna’s upgrades. He couldn’t keep up this level of nano-healing forever but it would at least continue for the time being. As if he had sensed weakness in the formerly holy arm, the celestial aimed a slash at his arm before going straight for the former wound. R was too quick for him this time, bringing the bane of celestials up to deflect the strikes before they could do any damage.
It was at this point that R decided to stow the blade for the time being. As he did so, four extra arms grew from his sides, all of them taking up a different defensive stance. It appeared that R had suddenly become much harder to hit. Defence, however, was not his objective.
“You’re not wrong,” he responded, “this is fun. In another life, I might have been right there beside you as you broke into all those places.”
R grinned a predator’s grin as he eyed his prey.
“But not today.”
He sprang into action, the first strike a single special blow that involved hitting both of the celestial’s ears at the same time in an attempt to disorient him. The follow up was just as brutal – with each of the six fists delivering a haymaker to a different part of the celestial’s body. R wasn’t up on the boy’s anatomy, but instead aimed for where the kidneys, liver and solar plexus would be in a human. The final two strikes were a simple left right combo aimed at the point of the celestial’s chin. With any luck, it would put him to sleep and R would be able to arrest him and claim the bounty.

His vision was back, his snarky mouth had never really stopped running and now his mind seemed to be back in the game as well. This was going to make him as potent of a warrior as he could possibly be and at his most dangerous as well. This hunter had no idea what was truly in store for him in this battle.
Syric didn’t know how, but for a moment as his opponent came at him, his mind showed him the attacks before they even were launched. It made the dodging of them rather simple as he bobbed and weaved as if he was in a video game avoiding the first flurry of blows from his furry enemy.
As the next set of strikes began, he saw and opening to strike and as was his normal, he didn’t hesitate to take advantage of it when the moment showed itself. He lashed out with a forceful kick pushing somehow between the incoming blows and going right for his adversary’s stomach.
”Too slow for me mate!” The Celestial Taunted, his mind still aiding him as he tried to fend off the onslaught from the hunter.
It wasn’t too hard to deal with melee and it was actually his specialty, or at least he thought it was with his weapons in hand. He twisted as the next sequence came in, avoiding the strikes, by pushing them up with his daggers above his head and opening up the body once more. This time he crashed his elbow in towards the ribs of the hunter before spinning around with his counter combination rush and trying to slice the first blade into his body and the second towards his neck. He knew the spin wouldn’t be fatal, but it would if it landed at least let his opponent know he wasn’t playing around any longer.
Still in close combat the troublemaker flared out his energy, releasing and explosive shockwave of power meant to push his target back and create some room once more. He always did like seeing what was coming before it ever got close to hitting him. It made defending himself so much easier that way!
”So how much longer you going to keep playing around, or is this really all you came with in order to arrest me?”

If you thought R was annoyed when his first combo hit nothing but air, imagine how he felt when the rest were returned in kind by the wily celestial. He shook his head but remained wary due to the proximity of his nemesis and sure enough, power erupted from the blonde maniac. The energy swept out in all directions, annihilating everything in its path. Lucky Juno was such a crap place. When it washed over the diminutive bio android, something strange happened. The fur that covered his body seemed to glow with a pale ethereal light and his form seemed to drink in the power like some sort of sponge. When the shockwave had subsided, that same energy was released in a burst of flames that would protect R if the maniac decided he wanted to stay in close.
"I mean," R began, "there's no rush. I'm quite enjoying messing around. You are more challenging than your rap sheet suggested. I wonder if that divine power of yours has limits."
With flames now leaping to the heavens from every inch of his body, R sprouted his extra limbs once more. The nanites were working overtime at this point and there likely wouldn't be enough energy to sustain all six limbs for much longer. It didn't matter, R still had plenty left in his bag of tricks and he meant what he said about finding out the limits of this celestial's power. Perhaps the guild would give him a bonus if he gave them a prisoner and some information.
He dashed into the fray once more, closing the small gap that had been created by the force of the shockwave in a fraction of a moment. He entered Syric's range with a brutal uppercut before using both of the lower arms to deliver twin rising punches to the celestial's divine kidneys. Next he hammered away with the upper arms once more, driving them three times towards the armoured solar plexus of his foe. Perhaps he could still be winded under all of that armour. The final three strikes were delivered with the middle set of arms and were reserved for Syric's also armoured ribcage. All of these strikes would begin to wear him down before long and then R could get to work with the bane once more.

Syric scoffed at the notion, ”You have yet to even start to see what my powers truly are.”
The mischievous Celestial was possibly bluffing at this point, but truthfully, he hadn’t really shown much of his real skill just yet. He was still getting a grasp for this battle and so far, he wasn’t really sure if he was just talking trash that he could back up or not. The hunter had shown some unique skills so far and he hadn’t really gotten his feet completely under him yet.
Still he knew that his freedom was of the utmost importance to him. This opponent, no matter how interesting he actually was to the thief, was trying to take that from him.
Once again, the flurry of assaults came in from his opponent, but once again Syric was ready for them. ”You see it is rather easy actually.” He began his movements almost as if his body was just reacting to his mind allowing him to weave around the onslaught of strikes. ”You see my mind can see your thoughts and strikes before they even are used against me and my body can react to them as you are trying to hard to land a strike on me. It is sad really that you don’t stand a chance and yet you don’t even know it.”
He managed to easily avoid the first two combinations of strikes with what appeared to be an acrobatic display saved for the grand stage to entertain an audience. He had been talking a huge game so far, but the real issue was that he knew his powers were not at all refined like he was claiming they were. So far, he had just been lucky that they were working. They didn’t help him with the last flurry of strikes though. Instead, he was just lucky he was planning on trying to freeze his opponent once again. He once again gave off a chilling blow of ice meant to entrap his opponent and keep him from fighting back to his fullest. Syric knew he had to get back on the offensive either way.
The Celestial winked moving like he was about to throw a kick, only for his right-handed dagger to be swiped in a motion that it would cut across the face of his enemy. He continued twirling around, almost as if he was going to flip around and follow it up with a kick before stabbing the left-handed dagger towards the racoons stomach area.
”You are rather fun, wanna move this somewhere with less people that might get caught in a crossfire?”

For the second time in more recently than R would have like for it to even happen once, he found himself encased in a block of ice. If his damn scouter was working, he might have tried to figure out what was going on with that damn icy blast of bullshit but it remained steadfastly silent like the piece of crap that it was. He made a mental note to find Jutters and get her to give him a tune up - and soon. Through his icy tomb, R could still hear the celestial gloating about being a mind reader. Unfortunately, the powers that R got from Rafael weren't working right now so he couldn't make the same boast. This jerk felt the same as Yan when he had tried to tune in to his mind earlier. There was definitely something slippery about the feeling.
Finally, R managed to melt the ice enough to be free of its frigid embrace. He was rewarded with a very blurry celestial stabbing and kicking him. Though R did not breathe and so could not be winded, Syric would be rewarded with a metal clanking that resulted from the blade hitting his chassis through the thin layer of biotic material that made him look like an animal.
"By all means," R said, "let us move. I wouldn't want you to have to hold back. Let me see the full limits of your power!"
R allowed the celestial to lead the way, tinkering with something in his dimensional space for several long moments while blondie bear found somewhere suitable for the fight to resume. Once it did, R pulled out a comically oversized weapon and slid the cocking handle to the rear. Syric didn't know it, but the weapon was in plasma mode. He would soon find out though, especially when it burned its way through his precious armor. A red laser dot appeared on Syric's chest as R squeezed the trigger, indicating that the raccoon was taking no chances with Mr "I can see your thoughts" and was choosing to aim for centre mass. The trigger was depressed twice in rapid succession, firing two globs of plasma energy at the very centre of the celestial's armor plates.

Syric flew off with the hunter right behind him. He laughed a little to himself as they got further away, hoping that his plan would actually fall into place. The mischievous celestial though, wasn’t thinking about the fight and just his genius plan and as he stopped to turn back to the raccoon he was met with two blasts to his body.
The thief clearly didn’t see this coming and it sent him back a little, ”Hey, I wasn’t ready yet for a restart, not fair.” He was so much in his own head patting himself on the back for his plan that he hadn’t heard anything that the hunter had said and that clearly was a bad thing.
Lucky for him the rodent didn’t have more in his tank to release right now on him. It gave the hunted a chance to strike back. Once again, he moved in with precision. The difference this time he lashed out with three consecutive strike much more focused on location of hit than fluidity of movement. The first strike went right under the right arm into the ribs of his foe. The second from the other hand into his enemy’s chest. Lastly he flipped himself around stabbing one time towards the side of the neck looking to do some serious damage with this combination of strikes.
He then tilted his hands the daggers shifting slightly, ”It isn’t always that I get to make things boom.” Syric bragged moving his right hand to the chest of the hunter as he flipped the dagger telekinetically into its holster on his hip, ”It has been fun, but now we get serious.” With his words a massive ball of energy erupted form his hand, hopefully into the body of the android and if things went well sending him off into the sky where the ball would finally erupt and be the beginning of the end of the foolish hunter.
Still, Syric didn’t want to kill him. Instead he was hoping to simply start the maiming process, eager to torture this one to a long term medical visit as he had so many before.

"What were you waiting for," R responded sardonically, "a whistle?"
Though he was trying to bring this guy in, R's processor was working overtime to try and figure out a way out of it. He was still going to claim the bounty of course, but there had to be a way to recruit this celestial to his crew afterwards. Maybe Walid would be able to help - he HAD a bounty and would probably know about the system. There was just something magical about the way the celestial moved and R felt that there was a lot he could be taught, especially if he was grateful for having been sprung from whatever prison the PTO had in store for him.
The next part of the thought process was lost to a series of pinpoint strikes that were the culmination of the mesmerising blade dance that had started the whole thought process about jail breaks. The last strike to his neck, however, elicited a loud bark of laughter.
"I should probably let you know at this point, because you seem to not have realised," R responded through his fit of laughter, "I'm an android. The stabby stabby is going to be much less effective than you are hoping that it will be."
As if taking R's words to heart, the celestial began to draw in power, prompting the diminutive bio android to do the same. As Syric released his own blast, R had to backpedal before releasing his own. Though the stabby stabby, as he like to put it, was less effective, the enchantments on those blades were doing a number on his systems. Nevertheless, he managed to buy the fraction of a moment that he needed to launch his own blast at that of the celestial to cancel it out. All that was left in the wake of the titanic explosion was several flattened trees and the unmistakeable stink of burnt energy.
"Wait, was that you getting serious?"
