Hayami: Combat Rune, Champion 3
Juch: Combat Rune, Guide: Lost Sparring Regime

[Start of Hayami vs Juch]
"Yes, it is rather troublesome. If you know about the trials of Heracles, you could call this it's true sealed form. The hero from legend skinned the poor bastard, but not even Hades wanted him, they say. So he was sealed away within an urn." Hayami explained. So this thing was going to be far harder to deal with then a simple chimera.
She gestured with her thumb as she rose into the air slowly, as she wanted to let Juch know the general direction. "The urn, I already drained it of some magic to get ready for that kitsune I released. So we should probably hurry." She turned and flew in that direction as a dark amethyst aura flared around the Celestial. Her expression was rather grim.

"Hoh...?" Juch murmured as Hayami finished her explanation. So it was certainly a little more urgent than the stroll that he was on about just a few moments prior. Still, this was something that was rather interesting, and he was curious to see how everything would pan out. As the fox girl blasted away, the android's shoes also left the pavement. Although no aura surrounded him, he shot off in the air, following Hayami towards the destination.
He had heard about the trials before. They were certainly cataloged in legend, so how much of it was fact and how much of it was fiction was up in the air. However, from Hayami's story, there was at least a shade of it that was true. And a rather angry monster to boot.
The trip itself shouldn't be long, given the speeds that the two of them were able to travel at. He just followed in silence until they arrived, unless Hayami had something to say during the trip.

It was a rather silent trip until Hayami shouted, "Incoming!" Azure flames cam to life in the air, and Hayami had to halt her flight as she launched her own three flames to intercept. If one hit any of them, illusion of the highest caliber would have made them fall from the air. For Hayami, that might hurt a bit. For Juch, she wasn't sure.
However, it was then that Juch would be able to see the wicked kitsune. Snow white, with a cracked grin on it's face, like the fur allowed only jagged outlines of a mouth. Hayami stopped the flames, but it was clear that the beast had a head start on them.
"Do you best the avoid the flames, they will cause something like a bad acid trip, at the least. At their worst, you'll be utterly fooled."

It would be a rather hellish landscape if fire began to fall from the skies instead of rain. However, the flames that suddenly sprang to life in front of them suggests something that borders more on the abnormal. The interception of the pair's flight path, however, was only the starting performance of their foe, as between the flickering purple spouts of fire was the figure of the Kitsune.
Still, it seemed that the android was more curious about Hayami's performance than he was confronting the dastardly smile on the white fox, "I wonder what sort of effect they'd have on me," the android remarked, but heeded the girl's warning. Instead, he inhaled in, puffing his chest up slightly, before exhaling a torrent of fire towards the Kitsune. Fight fire with fire.
ReiToday at 5:05 PM
Hayami watched as a gout of fire from the android struck the ground, the kitsune below them rather skittish as he snarled back at them. That grin lost to what looked to be a frown of anger. "Shit," Hayami stated before it rounded and stood it's ground a moment. She placed her hand into a seal before the demon howled.
Objects not normally something to worry about were flung at the pair. Parts of buildings torn off and hurtled without regard for their proper place. One could say that the beast possessed them. Hayami weaved as she threw her own psychic wave out to try and stabilize the objects. "Juch, do you maybe have psychic powers?" She asked desperately.
JuchToday at 5:18 PM
It appeared that the monstrous fox didn't appreciate his own fire. Even though imitation was a form of flattery, that smile of the Kitsune's had disappeared. Maybe it didn't feel that flattered by Juch's display. Instead, it seemed to try a different tactic--different in one sense, the same in another. Fire didn't belong in the air--by that same token, buildings didn't either. And it wouldn't do to simply shoot those pieces out of the sky. Such collateral damage should be avoided.
"Involving civilians is a form of cowardice, you know?" the professor smiled at the Kitsune while the pieces began to slow down, thanks to Hayami's efforts. However, it appeared that she was straining, having to change from her intricate hand seals to keeping the buildings steady.
"I don't know about psychic powers per say," Juch commented in his usual casual tone as he reached his hand out, "To me, it's just a series of calculations in accordance to the known laws of the universe."
The pieces slowed down further as the android assisted Hayami, "I think I can take care of these objects. That should free you up."
ReiToday at 5:51 PM
"Thanks," the Celestial replied as she gingerly pulled her hands back into the seal forms. Spiritual power flooded the area and the fox saw his mistake. He thought the other was there to attack and the girl to defend.
"Why seal one of your own?" Came a snarled response. The fox was clearly angry at this arrangement.
"Did you think I released you on purpose?" Hayami glared down. She had to think of a way to distract him. So with her mind, she created an earthen prison. "Juch, can you use minerals in the ground to reinforce that cage?"
JuchToday at 6:58 PM
Juch exhaled again, as the fox pushed back against his own forces. He didn't show it, but the opponent was pushing back with commendable effort. However, his sensors did detect the change in energy in the area. The professor looked over to Hayami, who continued the sealing process as the ground came up to swallow the white Kitsune. His complaint towards the dark haired girl was noted by the android with a nod. Group identity was important to social creatures, and it seems like even Kitsunes were no exception.
At the request, the android nodded, "Very well, that is an objective I can proceed towards."
He'll have to divert some of his power towards that making. Perhaps he should remove some of the usual limiters and go into full combat mode...No, not yet. He decided against it, which did leave the buildings a little more vulnerable to the Kitsune, but it was possible that it would be distracted by the prison that Hayami had constructed.
