Prasha felt the sword cut him just missing his MCL. This was really getting out of hand, fresh blood poured from his leg and Prasha chuckled. "My Leg? Trying to cut my speed are we?" Prasha stood up and took a step forward it was a deep cut, but Prasha had had worse. Prasha was pissed off. He had one secret weapon that he always wanted to pull out. Prasha hit a switch in his gloves and 2 jagged blades popped out on each hand dripping with venom. Prasha went to his knees and pulled out a pack of powder and poured it on his leg, the wound calcified instantly and Prasha rapped leather strands around it to keep it safe. Prasha groaned a bit and started bouncing up and down.
Prasha locked eyes with Chazz. "Good try." Prasha launched forward and picked up speed. He launched himself at his opponent and retracted his blades, then with the inertia flicked them out to pierce his opponents mail and twisted.

Chazz was certain his blade met his mark, yet he decided not to dwell on it. His opponent came right at him again. Is this guy for real? Even the fastest running back in the world has the same 10 yard dash as his offensive line. His speed was great, but Chazz was no more than 8 yards from him. Yet again he came right at Chazz. He kept his distance and used his superior reach and his longer weapon to poke around at Prasha's defenses. Keeping Prasha's short range attacks at bay.
He made sure not to strike in a way that would allow Prasha to grab his blade or use the curved blades to make a weapon lock.
He leaped again. One thing you must understand in combat is if you leap at your opponent you are dead. There are no benefits to it. The moment your feet leave the ground you are no longer accelerating. You are in fact decelerating. Gravity is a pain in the ass, but the laws of physics breaks for no one. Not even someone with incredible speed.
The moment Prasha left the ground, he couldn't change directions, momentum doesn't work like that. He slowed down and rather than cut him down he merely stepped to the side out of range of his short range attacks, but Chazz had a variant longsword.
Chazz smacked him on the soldier with the flat side of the blade and crow hopped a few steps back waiting for Prasha to land. Chazz held his sword at the ready. He was outside kukuri range and he was inside the 10 yard distance.
Chazz spoke for a moment as Prasha hit the ground, "Your waisting you time with jump attacks, they will get you killed. Honestly, you have too much natural talent to seriously die because you think it looks cool."
From the ground Prasha shook off the blow, Geez that hurt. But the fool is getting to comfortable. Prasha fiddled with a hook on his belt and connected it to the wire roll he had on his belt as well. The winch was ready to fly, using the built up pressure of CO2 that Prasha had found out how to use.
"THEN COME CLOSER!!!!" Prasha shouted. Prasha had all the tools of an Assassin including a roll of wire for when he had to leap off buildings, a grappling hook was at the end of the wire. Prasha fired it, wrapping Chazz around and yanked him to him. Prasha extended his left arm's glove blades and pointed them at the tied up military officer.
"You slipped." Prasha smiled and sat on the ground and started laughing. "Cup of tea?"

Chazz puffed himself up allowing the wire to wrap around him. He wasn't fast enough to dodge it, but training taught him how to combat the stronger opponents. As he felt it snug and tight he relaxed and deflated himself as much as he could. The wire fell, but caught on his boots. Chazz fell backwards moving his sword beneath his legs and pierced the ground. Chazz hit the ground, the blade slashed through the wire.
Chazz sat on the ground his sword between his legs firmly in the dirt. Prasha's words made Chazz laugh, "Well of course, I've already taken a seat."
Prasha took a container out of his boots and popped the lid. "I did not want anyone to take this off my dead body." Prasha laughed and opened the container of rare Saffron Mint Tea. "It is some of the lst that I have from my father's shop." He took the tea and used some of the ember left over to heat a fire and boiled some water in another container.
"You fight well, Chazz. I had fun." Prasha smiled at Chazz and lit his pipe watching the water boil. "Care for a smoke?"

Chazz sat quietly, if he wanted to kill him, Prasha's best chance was still in that tree. Chazz got up, picked up his sword and moved over to Prasha. He sat down took out a wet stone and began sharpening his blade. He only stopped to pull out his pokeball and called forth Harbinger. "Harbinger, take to the trees and scout a bit, if you find any ghost pokemon, you know what to do." Chazz continued to sharpen his blade. "A dull blade is a dead man." He laughed.
Prasha laughed. "In our fight we both would have died if we carried out." Prasha took out a tub of cakes he had made and set it before Chazz. "Take one if you wish, tea will be ready soon." Prasha puffed his pipe and whistled for Nachos, the Machamp came over and knelt beside Prasha. "Hello old friend would you care to stomp out a place to set up camp? There will be some Razz Cakes for you and some good tea as well." Prasha knew even Nachos was a sucker for tea. Machamp grinned and walked into the forest.

"Hahahaha me from poisoning and you from your jump attacks." Chazz laughed. Chazz saw him order Nachos around. Chazz pulled out another pokeball and released kokkinos. "Hey boy go about and do Flame wheel and clear some of this foliage. " The ponyta snorted and shot out flames and then started circling the area. "Yup, that is my young steed, his father was the greatest Rapadash you have ever seen. Could light a fire you could see for miles away." The nostalgia, one day Kokkinos will evolve and take his place as alpha in the herd."
Prasha laughed at Chazz's remark "Nah, just you from poison." Prasha finished his tobacco and Nijy appeared right in front of Chazz. "Nij" Nijy floated in front of him then over to Prasha and settled on Prasha's back. Prasha released the rest of his Pokemon and the rest of his team began playing in the forest. "Give them an ol stretch of their legs or wings." Prasha smiled as Flutter danced around Nijy.

This kid was so arrogant, "Whatever you say kid." Those jump attacks will be the death of that kid though. Chazz however, looked up Harbinger was signaling to him. Someone was watching. He hadn't noticed it before, but Harbinger in the trees could see more than he did. " why don't you join us?"
"I think I will." Prasha gulped down his tea and covered his face with his mask again. Prasha checked his gear and put his team back into their pokeballs. "By the way, I know I'm arrogant.Signal me." Prasha sprinted forward and leaped into the trees.

Aries returned a moment later, his fur bristled in stark warning. He growled lowly and turned back the way he had come, obviously wanting for his master to follow. Of course his master would follow, this was his territory after all. So the two went traipsing about in the damn woods. Just a man following his Growlithe. Totally not irritating at all... If you liked that sort of thing. The man did not like this sort of thing. Repeatedly, calloused hands gnarled through his russet locks, his mussed main constantly animated with his touseling only to succumb to stillness with the absence of his large paw of a mitt.
The chieftain knew when they were nearing his quarry when Aries began to slink lower and lower to the ground. In turn the warrior stooped at his middle, evening out his stride to make his movements fluid and graceful to silence any jingling clanks from the jarring of his many weapons. One hand was constantly resting around the hilt of one of the swords at his hip, and the other reached out to grasp at the perfection of his balance. When they arrived, the two intruders were fighting already and the king-like man remained in his shadowed obscurity to watch them from afar, silently judging their strengths and weakness, absently cataloguing their fighting styles and deciding which of them he would strike down first. Because of course, when dealing with the mercenary plains king, death was to be expected. Especially when his guests were uninvited as they were.
Each hit seemed like a joke, a gift to soften the blow of their intrusion, and the man grinned with each strike. They didn't even know how well they were playing into his hands, by fighting each other and tiring each other out, they would only make his job easier. The job of destroying them that is... However, the did not finish the job as he would have, in fact they ended in quite the opposite manner as they had begun. They ended laughing, on the dirt, brewing tea like old women and smoking a pipe like an old grandfather. What a disgrace. He was down right disgusted at their filth, insulted they had dared to bring themselves even close to his territory let alone step one of their pampered boots onto his turf.
Finally, the man could stand their insufferable insolence no longer. "Aries... Circle around. Watch their backs and make sure they don't try to run..." The trainer kept his voice low enough only his pokemon would hear, and the Growlithe obeyed instantly, slinking off into the shadows he knew so well to watch the men from the background.
His voice must not have been as low as he had assumed, though, and irritation gave birth to carelessness as the man was noticed after he spoke. Still, it was bound to happen eventually, if not by accident then by his own design, and perhaps it was better this way. After all, he wouldn't have to debate how to approach them if they called to him first. The trainer grinned, but in the spearing light of the moon through the canopy cast above them by the trees, the sneering curl of his lips might have appeared as more of a snarl.
Slowly, the demon-like creature stepped into their view, brushing bloody red hair away from his eyes as he did so. He wore no armor, but the way he carried himself dubbed him as nothing less than a hardened soldier. And that was only if you were blind enough to miss the arsenal of bladed weaponry strapped to his body like metallic clothing. Perhaps they were meant to be his armor, and in a way they were - his body protected by the many sheathes and blades of his tools for malice. The chieftain gave a smile like a cheshire cat, the expression a deceiving promise of a painful death. "Ironically.. You are not in the position to offer such an invitation, strangers..." His voice was a mix between a purr and a growl, a sickeningly sweet baritone of menacing avarice. "After all, this is my playground..." All traces of what might have been the possibility of welcoming charm melted away in the face of his fury. These dogs dared to step onto his turf and soil his land with their tea drinking filth. 'Disgusting...' The only thing that might have made him look more aggressive was if one of those perfectly sharpened swords just happened to appear in his hand. The man smirked, sliding an arm up to rest against his shoulder, his hand wrapped around the hilt of one of the swords on his back. His other hand dangled beside his thigh with false relaxation, his fingertips achingly close to the hilt of one of his shorter hip swords. Close, but not close enough to be as much of a threat as the blade waiting on his shoulder.

Of all the nights, he had to be walking in this forest. Dalek chieftain and ruler of the Southern plains. Chazz was wearing Celosia colors and baring its insignias, if he fought it would be a declaration of war. Chazz stood up the man same height as Chazz walked toward him. Chazz was wondering why he had so many blades, he looked like a porcupine.
Chazz stood up and faced him sheathing his sword. "Dalek, I was wondering when I would finally meat you. I have heard great things." Chazz smiled he was in Dalek's territory and a fight would breach the contract between starfort and Celosia. Chazz took off his cap and let his dark hair fall to his shoulders.
"No, in your land I have no right to offer invitation. No doubt you have seen the Celosian caravan heading toward Starfort City carrying your gold. The trade contract. " Chazz hated backing out of a fight, but war was not an option at the current time. "Prasha stand down, you are not one of my men, but I'm not letting a citizen of Celosia start an international incident. " Chazz wanted to fight, this Dalek was said to be a warrior worth fighting. Something Chazz wanted dearly. Yet, he could not be selfish, he could not put 3 million people in harms way because of his bloodlust.
Prasha looked at the new man that had shown up with his little tiny Growelithe. "Cute puppy you have there." Prasha smirked and whistled. Nachos came into the open, The Machamp went to his master's side. "You talk a big game, sir." Prasha cocked his head to one side and lit a cigarette. He Blew Smoke rings into the air and placed the tobacco product back on his mask clinching it with his teeth. "Excuse me while I finish this cigarette." Prasha finished his cigarette and threw the butt on the ground.
Prasha stared down at this man and drew both kukuri's from his belt and got back into his Sambo stance. "Now where were we? I seem to have lost interest." Prasha loved to be arrogant just to get his opponent all riled up.
.| Step into the ring boy ||:. ○ ○ .:: And hit me with your best shot ::.
The first man he recognized as an officer of Celosia's army. While Dalek had no personal ties to the ruler - whom he had heard many things about.. - their countries did have that pesky trade agreement which garnered a tenuous peace between the two nations. The chieftain thought on that for a moment, honestly with how bloodthirsty their queen was, what could one little skirmish do to peak her interest? 'Too much...' Her numbers far outweighed his own, even if her dog did attack first there would be little Dalek could do to protect his people if it came down to an all out war. And he had a feeling that between himself and the so called Red Lady, all out war was somewhat inevitable. Then again, there was no sense in rushing a bad thing. It would be better to wait and allow her the role of the villain should she enter this little theatre of politics they were so charmingly playing at.
Dalek dipped his head in response to Chazz's first comment. "I would return the compliment, but I can only tell that you are some dog of the queen's by that lovely scarf around your neck." He doubted the man would bite at his little jeers, but you never know, maybe if he kept chipping away at his pride his testosterone would get the better of him in the end. 'Do you really want to start a war here?' No... He supposed he didn't... Still, it was so irritating to reign himself in. Where was Tsubame when he needed the little prat? The trainer waved a hand in dismissal of his own rudeness. "The caravans, yes. I have seen them. Am I to take your mentioning them as some sort of beginning to an excuse of how you simply became separated from the guard detail or something or other and that is your reasoning for intruding so close to my personal encampment?" There it was, sure it was a glimpse but at least he was showing some of his true feelings. Or at least his true annoyance at their presence that is.
Here the second man chose to speak and at the sound of his interjection the garnet demon sized him up quickly in the way only a killer can know. He was not looking for mere strengths and weaknesses, he was looking for vulnerability of character, even the slightest flaw to this man's confirmation could be his downfall. Prasha had noticed Aries - the Growlithe must have crept closer, seeing his master's emotions heating - and his mentioning of the small creature infuriated the warrior. No one called his mutt a puppy. No one... Dalek waited until after Chazz had given his rebuke to the second man, silently relishing the fact that this man was of little to no consequence to the queen's dog behind his mask of homicidal hospitality. Put bluntly, that made it easier for the bloody haired creature to make this annoyance disappear...
"You should mind your superior, pup. Especially considering the fact that you are facing the elite champion of the Mistari tribesmen, and while you are wounded no less. Your words and your drawn weapons alone can be considered treason, the punishment for which I hope you are smart enough to realize is death. Now would you like to continue playing the arrogant child or would you rather stand down and acknowledge your place?" Dalek spat his final words at Prasha like an insult which in fact it was. He was so close to simply drawing his weapons and being done with these insolent fools, but the safety of his people held him in check.
The chieftain didn't know what kind of ruler their queen was but all the rumors and gossip he had heard of her spoke of malice and violence to match his own. Coming from a woman... Well, he didn't want to see what she would do to his meager armies. Not now... Not after- 'No.' Dalek squared himself against the memories of his escape from the mainland all those years before, anchoring himself in the present. Sometime during the exchange Aries had skirted around their little group to stand at his master's side, leaning comfortingly against the man's calf. That contact too helped to steady the assassin in the urgent need of the families he had sworn to protect by taking up his father's mantle. "Now then, if we are all done playing who's bigger," Dalek paused, letting the venomous bite of his comment set in fully before continuing, "then I suggest you two start explaining your presence in my lands so far from your caravan." He was quiet then, impatiently waiting for their excuses to start.
