This guy was tricky, but Eventually Elems skills outdid him.
21:21:24 Elem walked into the arena like place. He could sense another presence here. It had some spiritual energy. He slowly walked to the center of the arena, leaning heavily on his staff. When he reached the center of the Arena he yelled out into the silence with an aged voice full of wisdom. "Come on out young one, and fight me. Nothing serious just a quick match." He stood slightly strieghter, still leaning on his staff.
21:28:54 David_C steps into the same clearing that the old man had entered, a card held between his fingers. "Alright sir, if you're ready, I guess I'll get us started...?" David swipes the card in an arch in front of him, cutting the air with the card. This swing sent forth fingers of electricity stretching towards the old man in a blink, the power of the Tower card. David figured it would be a good, non-lethal way to test just how quick the old man's reaction time would be so David could adjust accordingly
21:33:05 Elem let his arms snapp up with quicker speed than that of the lighting. He held up his arm, it was strieght, his hand was in a fist accept for his pointer finger and his middle finger, they were fully extended. He brought the lightning to his finger tips and then made a punching movement with his other, that hand in the same position. The lightning was sent back to the sender. Then, he jumped bringing his foot over and around in an axe kick. He was too far away for him to physically attack the boy, but when he brought his leg down it sent a arc of flame towards the man. He landed bending his knees and letting a ripple form on the earth around him, increasing it's size and speed so that it would throw the man into the air.
21:43:16 David_C arches both brows in shock of how quickly the man reacted to the attack, and once the lightning struck, David knew what was happening to it. David drew two cards simultaneously from the case at his waist as he leapt into the air, dodging the sizzling blasts of light that were landing all around where he was once standing. As David landed in a crouching position after dodging the electricity, he had time to throw out the first of his two cards in front of him. The Magician card had the power to reflect projectile attacks back at the sender just as the old man had done, and the card absorbed the full blast of the flames that were sent his way. The flames coiled up and in a second were reflected back at Elem, but meanwhile David was oblivious to the threat traveling through the ground and was knocked off of his feet. David grunted, but wasted no time activating the other card in his hand as the Magician card disippated. The card in his hand transformed into an ornate warhammer. David scrambled to his feet...
21:46:27 [David_C] ...holding his hammer, ready to react after the old man dealt with the Magician's reflected attack. David knew he had to bring this fight in close, but he still wasn't sure what the man was capable of, so he maintained his distance for now, ready with Mjolnir, the hammer that the Judgement card had created, in his hands.
21:49:43 Elem put his hands out in front of him like he was about to dive into the air. When the flame reached him he parted his arms and the flame split into two. He then held his hands out in front of him like he was holding a ball, almost instantly a visible ball of air formed and he threw it at the man. If the man tried to use the card he had used on the flame, he would find it would not work. The air would simply evade the card. Then elem deduced something in his mind. He crossed his arms and shot into the ground. One could hear a crunching noise as Elem moved underneath the ground but they would not be able to pinpoint his location. Then suddenly Elem shot part way out of the ground, in the instand of being above ground he snatched the mans card case away from him and dissappeared underneath the earth once more. A moment later he rose from the Earth and took a stance. He made a pulling movement with his arms bringing a piece of the earth towards the back of the man. He did not have the cards on his<C>
21:51:51 [Elem] <C> person, infact he had left them beneath the ground. He then made a punching movement sending a fire blast at the boy. While the boy was distracted with his previous attacks, he moved in quickly and silently on a stream of air that increased his normal speed multiple times. He then preceded to hit each of the mans Chi points to cut off movement, magic use, and strength.
David_C could not use the Magician card again, even if he wanted to, so that was out of the question. But he saw one solution to the numerous attacks that all seemed to be launched simultaneously. David didn't have enough time to react to each assault individually, so he acted accordingly with the little time he did have and reacted to all of them with one action. Clearly the old man had no idea what the hammer David is holding was capable of. The young man swung the hammer with as much force as he could down toward the ground at his feet, meeting the air attack head on with the enchanted mallet, causing the orb of force to disippate on contact. The ensuing shockwave that was created by the hammer fall traveled through the ground underneath David and around him, collapsing whatever tunnel the old man may have disappeared into, and sending energy traveling in every direction away from David, stopping the old man's pickpocketing. This would change the old man's entire attack plan after tunneling underground, surely
22:04:09 Elem it actually had not affected him at all, simply slowed him down. He had mastered all four elements 250 years earlier. When the tunnel collapesed upon him he simply moved it out of his way once more. When moves it collapses behind him anyway. The pickpocketing still occurs and so do the rest of his attacks.
22:15:37 David_C ...jumps out of the way when slowing down the old man underground buys him some extra time. He yelps as the old man almost manages to snatch up his card case. "Hey! You're fighting dirty, sir... No pun intended, what with the way you're choosing to travel and all..." David let's go of the hammer and it disappears as a means of saving magic. The longer he kept cards active, the more they drained him. David snags the Ace of Cups card from the card box as the old man attacks him from the front and the back simultaneously. David summons the Water spirit that inhabits the card he holds. The nymph encircles the young man quickly in a vortex, rapidly eroding the earth wall behind David to nothingness, and evaporating the flame attack with ease. As the Water avatar disappears, David is shocked to see the old man up close and personal already. David had been distracted and it was going to cost him. The old man's martial arts were better than David's, and the young man was only able to parry so many blows. David <c>
22:18:49 [David_C] <c> was struck in the right arm and his left side by the man's punches and jabs. David had already depleted a considerable amount of energy summoning cards so rapidly, and now that he had been struck twice in debilitating chi points, he didn't have much left. David fell to one knee, a grimmace of pain and beads of sweat growing on his face. "D-Damn..." David clutched his side and looked up at the old man. "You're t-too fast for... an old g-guy..."
22:22:37 Elem held out his hand for the boy, giving him a small smile. "It is many years of experience young one. About 530 years if I am correct." He looked at the boy and smiled agian. "You just need to work on a better strategy and a better hiding place for your cards. Which reminds me." He stopped and stomped on the ground, the cards in their case shot out of the ground and he handed them back to the boy. "Goodbye, I hope we meet again."
22:24:36 David_C nodded and did his best to smile as he was recovering from the energy depletion. "Yea... thanks for the advice. I'll see you around, I'm sure."
There you go another Elem fight.
