"Alright looks like we split up and cause some diversions" Mitch called back to Ania and Tom as they separated Mitch darting off to the right while Ania and Tom moved along to the left. "If I can create enough havoc perhaps I can grab the flag and simply bring it back without having to bother with this team work and working together crap" Mitch thought as he raced through the oval grounds only to hear the sound of a body running towards him at a break neck speed. Stopping his movements he turned around to see Erza running across the oval directly towards him as he unsheathed Ashura from his back "We may have shared a moment in the shower but don't think that'll mean I'll hold back on you"
Both Tom and Ania heard the sound of blades clashing together as he looked back towards her "I guess Mitch has already begun diverting team LEET'S attention from us" "Unfortunately no we anticipated that you would try something like this so we split our team up" two voices came from above as both Tom and Ania stopped moving to see Tina and Erika both come flying down from the ground crash landing in front of them. "We've been given the assignment of holding you two up while Lara assaults your flag and claims it" Erika blatantly blurted out as Tina whacked her across the head "Really so you just reveal that our flag has been left completely unguarded!" "Who cares these peasants will fall beneath our blades and we will claim their flag and win so revealing our strategy hardly matters" she chuckled staring across at Tom eager to seek her revenge over the way he humiliated her during their combat lesson in class.
Alan yawned loudly as he rubbed his eyes "Man I think I'm going to fall asleep" he mumbled before slapping his face "Wake up what type of leader falls asleep while his team is out fighting for him". He heard footsteps far off and slowly stood up his invisibility had already been activated as he watched Lara step out of the woods and walk onto the oval glancing around a bow in her hand as she quietly crept across the ground.
"So if she's attacking the flag perhaps theirs is unguarded?" Alan thought to himself as he crouched low to the ground waiting for the opportune moment to attack. "Alright looks like no one is here guess they had the same idea that we did" Lara said breathing a sigh of relief as she lowered her bow and stared across at their 'unguarded' flag. "Almost to easy" she thought to herself and stopped suddenly "Does she detect me?" Alan slowly rose to his feet as he quietly snuck towards Lara "There could be traps laid about to catch me off guard". Putting her bow back up she aimed at the flag pulling the draw string back as an arrow composed of dust was formed as she fired it directly at the target. Alan quickly ducked as it whistled past him and the flag before thudding onto the ground "Huh guess they didn't place a barrier around the flag like we did".
Erza unsheathed a regular looking long sword as she lunged towards Mitch hacking at the air while he deflected the blow with Ashura. "What's say we have a good old fashioned sword fight and none of that fancy semblance or weapon abilities?" he asked Erza who smiled back "Ah a simple test of skills to see who the better swordsmen is, very well I accept the challenge that neither of us will utilise our semblance". Both stepped towards each other their blades flashing through the air as they met together the sound of metal resonating around the area while sparks sprayed. Erza leapt back as Mitch seized the initiative leaping forward all to eagerly swinging Ashura upwards while she side stepped the swipe and lunged into him her sword cutting across his shoulder before Mitch rolled to the side lessening the severity of the cut.
Jumping back up he looked down at the nick while blood trickled out running down his forearm as he grinned "Not a bad strike" "You weren't so bad yourself acting purely on reflex to move and reduce the damage". Erza just calmly stood there watching Mitch almost like she was assessing what he would do next and then counter it as pushed off the ground racing towards her at a rapid speed as she assumed a defensive stance and went to parry his blow and then counter. Just as she was about to knock his strike away Mitch quickly ducked and rolled forward completely passing Erza before jumping back up and spinning around as she was momentarily caught off guard by his erratic movements and felt his katana cut across her back. "Looks like we're 1-1 now" he said grinning as she smiled back "Indeed what's say first to 10 hits is the winner?" "Fine by me"
"I'll take Erika while you handle Tina" Tom said to Ania as they both stood back-to-back while their opponents were on opposite sides weapons at the ready. Tina was wearing a pair of bronze gauntlets that had retractable claws while Lena was wielding her bladed fan as she glared at Tom "I'll finally take down that annoying man Tom and have him begging at my feet for ever tarnishing my great name!" Ania was the first to make a move pushing off the ground as a pink blur raced towards Tina who placed both forearms in front of her body as she braced herself for the impact. Crashing into her Ania lost all her momentum instantly and found Tina had barely moved a centimetre as the blonde haired girl grinned "Never realized what my semblance was did you?" the answer came a moment later a fist connected with Ania's chin sending her violently flying back as she crashed into the back of Tom knocking them both onto the ground "Super strength" she groaned picking herself up as Tom rubbed the back of his head "Try not to induce friendly fire it rather doesn't help" he bluntly stated as Ania glared at him "It's not like I meant to she just caught me off guard" "Well stay on guard neither of us can afford to lose here".
"HEY FOCUS ON ME I'M YOUR OPPONENT YOU SIMPLE MINDED FOOL!" Erika yelled out swiping her fan upwards as one of the blades unattached and flew towards Tom who heard the high-pitched whistling noise and quickly ducked as it to narrowly missed Ania but continued towards Tina who smacked it away. "I'm sorry I was busy instructing my team mate on avoiding trying to hit each other" he said to Erika whose face turned bright red "This insolent pest is making a mockery of me, this won't go unpunished!" She ran towards Tom hacking at his head with fan as he ducked under her slash and unsheathed both his katana's as he leapt towards her slashing both blades only for her blue barrier to become erected as his weapon bounced off "I've improved my shield since the last time we fought so now let's see you try and break through it's weak points!"
"I suppose we'll see which is superior super speed or super strength" Tina smacked both fists together while Ania picked her spear up and turned back around to face her opponent "How will you be able to hit something you won't see". Pushing off the ground she raced directly past Tina before landing on the base of a tree and using her semblance forced herself forward from that "I think you'll find that what happened last time you tried this will happen again". As Ania was flying towards Tina her spear glowed pink as tip of the spear shot off crashing into Tina who had raised her arms up, a rapid barrage began to reign down and while Tina was busy blocking those Ania adjusted her trajectory only slightly so she was moving more down towards Tina's feet.
"Again I still don't see how this helps you" Tina said looking up after the barrage stopped to find Ania wasn't aiming directly at her arms but was moving for her feet. "Shit…" she found there was no time to adjust her defensive position as Ania cannoned directly into her feet knocking her directly up into the air. Stopping her movement Ania jumped up into the air high above Tina and then kicked off moving towards her stomach at a rapid pink blur. She slammed straight into Tina's stomach knocking all the wind from her body before hammering her face first into the dirty below as the ground crumbled from the force of the impact. "I think we found which is superior" Ania smirked getting up before she felt a wrist clamp around her ankle as Tina looked up from the dirt "Don't think I'm that easy to knock down" "Sh…" Tina lifted Ania up into the air before slamming her face first into the ground as well as both girls just lay there eating the grass beneath them.
