Match D: Aoife Knight & Arthur King vs. Jun Sapphire & Lyra Lifto

OOC:

Arthur landed with a heavy thump after trying to slow his way down by dragging his shield through as many trees as possible. "So first things first, find Aoife" Arthur then proceeds to lets out  a mixture of bird whistles and animal calls which he assumes will bring Aoife to him without alerting his enemies to his position. "That should do the trick" He says to himself quietly.

Looking around as she lands, she climbs into a tree and surveys her surrounds. Hearing the distance callings, she jumps from tree to tree towards it, arriving after a few minutes, she jumps down behind Arthur and simply goes, "Four out of ten, not very convincing."

Okay, first thing's first, find Jun, Lyra thought, He's my best bet at beating the A-Team or whatever. Lyra extended Hellebore and grabbed onto a tree branch, spinning as she makes a ten point landing. How do I notify Jun that I'm here? In hindsight we probably should've gone over this before we were launched, Lyra contemplated, hearing the sound of birds.

Jun slowly glides over the forest, looking for any major disturbances. He sees King crashing through the trees, and steers away from that direction. Don't want any extra trouble, he thinks. Just before he's about to land, he sees Lyra spinning around a tree branch. Grinning, he swoops down to meet her.

Lyra turned around just in time to see Jun swoop in behind her. Well that was convenient, she thought to herself. "So, what's the game-plan, do you have any leads?" Lyra asked hopefully. She looked around to see if she could see anything. Still nothing.

Dropping the locator by Arthur's feet, she checks what dust is loaded into her spear before looking around, "Should we try an ambush? May work well against them and get us a few hits on them."

Brushing himself down, Arthur turns to Aoife and says. "That sounds like a good plan, do you wanna use me as bait and you can try and ambush them or shall we try something else?

"I will make only one way they can come from." With that she activates the red dust in the spear. The tip now licking with flames, she starts running, setting alight the trees in all but one area, "Now we have the advantage."

Arthur looks are the small devise he was provided with "The arrow says we should go this way, it's probably best if we head towards the arena?"

Nodding, she walks over to him and picks up her locator, going to high five him, she boasts, "We should have an advantage through knowing each others fighting style. Lets win this quickly so we can get to Zack."

"At least I hope we have at advantage," Sounding less confident than his partner. "But I agree we must fight Zack and his partner and win that at least"

Shrugging, she activates the spear as she talks, it making a roaring as the flames materialise as she talks, "Don't worry, with this our enemies will be all sure to feel the heat of our attacks." Stopping the flames, she swaps the spear to sword and sheath form, activating her aura, she continues, "Anyway. Be ready in case of ambush as we move. Not that anything is getting past my armour."

"Do you have any leads..?" Lyra asked again waiting for a reply.

"Well, as I was flying in, I saw someone, I think King crashing through the trees, and there's a huge column of smoke over there...," says Jun, pointing towards the huge column of smoke. "I'm betting at least one of them is over there." He has a quick tactics discussion with Lyra.

Entering the arena before Arthur, Aoife looks around to see it empty. Using the time to swap the dust in the hilt to lightning based, she quickly grows agitated and yells, "Would the fighters in match D hurry up and get over here!? The battle goes to the strong, not the slowest!"

"I think I have a hunch that they're that way" Lyra pointed to the sound of the yelling. She ran off towards the noise. "Come on!" She yelled to Jun.

"Ok," says Jun, jumping out of the tree he is perched in and flying along after Lyra. "I hope they don't get hitherto jump on us," he says.

Lyra saw fires blazing everywhere. It was beginning to get difficult to see. Suddenly she saw a silhouetted figure in the smoke. She started running towards it.

Aura activating and deactivating, the feeling of eyes on her rubs in and Aoife runs away, heading back to Arthur she yells out to him, "Arthur! We have Grim!"

Lyra approaches the figure. To her surprise it is a misshapen tree stump. Huh. That would've been bad. At least I'm not in the arena yet she thinks.

Arthur looks round, after being momentarily distracted by some insects. "What where?!" He draws his sword and bashes it on his giant shield "Let's he havin' ya!"

Spinning and drawing her swords Levi style, Aoife looks around for the would be attacker but instead finds a bird pirched and watching her, blushing heavily, she walks back to Arthur with her head Down in embarrassment.

Arthur turns to see Aoife's blushing face, he sheaths his sword, puts his hand over his face "What are you doing?" he asks, expecting no answer.

"S-Shut up! I thought it was something larger than a stupid bird!" comes the reply, yelling at him as she starts to calm herself, "Someone has to keep alert for the enemy, they won't just walk up to us and be like 'Hello, we are your opponents'. I don't even know what weapons we are fighting!"

Jun smiles from his perch in the trees. He can see and hear Knight yelling at King, and that she is very jumpy and has no idea what she is up against. He signals to Lyra to proceed with the plan.
