ADA & MALOS

ADA & MALOS

An elderly gentle man walked up to the stand and wiped his brow after taking off his tall black top hat. He was dressed in nice clothes, and seems slightly anxious before finally shouting in a booming voice to the crowd below him.

"WELCOME TO THE FIRST ROUND OF THE BATTLE ROYAL" the first words come out. "We are here to witness some brave warriors to fight, but purely for fun. So don't get to rough out there kiddies."

Pulling out a piece of paper he looks over. "First we have.. ADA IDREA AND TUARE" He said with a clap.

"Now remember contestants, no healing items are aloud. If we catch anyone cheating we have a watcher who will put things to stop immediately." As the man speaks, you can hear a ghostly laugh, as if coming from no where.

"Well... LET THE BATTLE BEGIN"

Ada rolled her neck, feeling the soft 'pop' of joints moving about and loosening, rolling her shoulderblades once for a similar effect. She left out a soft sigh, her fingers tapping themselves agaisnt the hilt of one scimitar idly, as her gaze shifted from the speaking elderly man to her opponent. A small thing; A deku, if she wasn't mistaken. Not the most intimidating of foes, but it didn't bother Ada much. Any race on the face of the planet could fight well if they played to their strengths; From fairies to simple animals. So she held faint hope this Deku was one such competent fighter, because she was certainly going to treat him as such.

However, she would allow him the courtesy of making the first move; If only to gauge his fighting ability.

"Your move, short stuff."

The Gerudo combatant flicked her scimitar in a circle idly as she spoke, before tightening her grip around both blades. They still lay at her sides, tips pointing at the ground, but that was rather normal for her; Moving them to counter-attack or defend herself from this distance would be fairly simple for any trained warrior. So it was all a matter of not making wasteful movements before the fight actually started.

Malos shivered in the brisk fall air. He had signed up for the battle tournament assuming that he would matched with someone nearer to his own skill. Nope. He was put up against the woman he had heard was the most powerful warrior in Hyrule.

"Umm... Hello Miss Idrae. I'm Malos. I guess I'm your opponent." So Idrae was letting him make the first move? Well every advantage helps he supposed. Gripping his rusty dagger tighter, the little Deku rushed at his enemy wanting to draw the first blood of the match.

LAIKA OF GS!

Ada tilted her head briefly in acknowledgement of the Deku's greeting, but said nothing in response. A simple greeting was acceptable, but she had no intention of having casual conversation while fighting. Such things dull focus and get people killed in true combat. Not that she didn't consider the tournament true combat, but somehow it less... real. Almost nothing like a real battle, where there were very rarely any "introductions", and were much more chaotic, unexpected, and less forgiving. Still, these Hylians needed some sort of sport, Ada supposed, and better it be combat than... well, whatever else it was Hylians did. Maybe sit around looking at pieces of parchment with laws written on them?

As the Deku lunged forward, Ada briefly stepped to the side, the dagger grazing her right arm with its attack. Well, he did manage to draw first blood, shallow that it may be. Now Ada intended to return the favor. She pounced toward the already extremely close Deku, swinging both of her blades in at the smaller figure. She aimed to strike a critical blow across the Malos' chest with her blades, which would carve a harsh "X" across his torso.

[Critical skill used. Dual Wield attack for a total of 1 heart of damage, multiplied by Critical to 2 hearts.]

"Oof!" Malos breathed when he was hit by the dual attack. Now he was starting to fear for his life. If it weren't for the rules preventing any mortal injuries he would most likely already be dead.

Still deep down, Malos knew that he had made a small victory. He had drawn the first blood. Sure the warrioress could have probably dodged if she had felt like it but the first blood was still his.

Seeing the intent in Ada, Malos scrambled away from the Gerudo champion. "Stop!" He whispered so quietly it was unlikely even he heard himself. Out of the ground as if beckoned by him to entrap his opponent.

[Malos casts Thorny Trap, damage and slow]

Notes: And the winner is almost...

LAIKA OF GS!

Ada was almost dissapointed when her attack connected almost flawlessly, sending the tiny Deku reeling. So he really was a novice. A shame. Ada prepared to deliver the next, and probably final, blow when she saw the Deku back away from her. If by "back away", she meant "scrambled away for dear life." Well, fear wasn't always a bad thing, but in this case it wouldn't do the tiny combatant much good. She moved to chase him down, until a large number of brambled and thorn-covered vines seemed to burst out of the ground at her.

Well, that was certainly a trick up his sleeve.

Still, Ada bounded away from the vines just before they touched her, taking her several feet into the air before she landed once again; Right next to her poor opponent. It was a valiant attempt, she mused to herself, and she had to applaud the things courage for taking part in the tournament given it's small and disadvantaged stature. But she was about to put an end to it's participation. Her blades swung in once again, aiming to carve into his sides and hopefully put the tiny wooden warrior down and out of the fight; Just not kill him, as she was pretty sure that was frowned upon for some reason. Silly Hylians.

[Dodge used to avoid the Thorn Trap. Dual-Wield attack for one heart if it lands.]

As Malos has not responded in over a week, Ada is declared the winner~
