20:33:32 Siege{Chaos} Shrugged as his hand was rejected. Didn't really matter to him. He wasn't here for pleasantries. He had a different agenda and it seemed he would now be able to attend to it. He casually removed a flask from his pocket and took a large swig. He sighed contentedly and replaced the flask before looking to Hamigash again, his expression now dead serious. “ It's been nice enough, but introductions are over. Dtai'k-dte or thei-de. You are my nain-de and I will show no h'chak.” His right hand would drop down and retrieve a combat knife from his belt.
20:45:32 Himigash looked toward the male quietly, seeming to have a change in heart about the entire situation so suddenly, a series of hisses and clicking beginning. "Ki'cte! I have to Dtai'k-dte a Ooman? No, you are a Dachande than Nain-de. I am a soldier, one with a speciailized set of rules! My clan does not fight the Pyode amedha!" He growled, limping only two steps, several areas of his body revealing bullet wounds, shrapnel wounds and more. He had obviously been in quite a conflict the evening before. " You would challenge one of the Kainde amedha chiva! One that has fought to keep planets like this one safe?"
20:51:37 Siege{Chaos} smirked. This was about the reaction he was expecting. At least he had made a somewhat formal challenge instead of coming in guns blazing. Although that might have been easier, it wouldn't have been fun. Of course, if Himigash was so upset at being challenged by an ooman, Seth would gladly set those feelings aside. Muscles in his neck and shoulders would tense around engineered glands as he opened his mouth and released a spray of acid. He wasn't aiming for the hunter though, merely the ground in front of him. This was simply a demonstration, he wasn't exactly an ooman. “Stand and fight or run and die, either way I win.” That knife was held in a reverse grip along his right forearm. He didn't appear to be carrying any other weapons, but who knew what exactly he could do.
21:00:46 Himigash watched the creature quietly, arching a brow. He had seen hybrids before, hybrids of many different creatures. This was not a first. The first of this type of creature he had seen was a woman who had been genetically engineered as the mind of a hive, a literal queen. That had backfired, leaving he and only a fraction of the forces he had taken with him to survive. He lowered his head slightly, sticking his Naginata into the Earth beside him, leaving the spear-tip in the Earth below. His right gauntlet sparked once more, flashing red lettering showing critical damage to his targeting systems, and most of his life support. He had planned to finish fixing this... but it looked like he wouldn't have a chance to.. especially in his condition. He tightened his right fist, and with a few violent sparks those two, lengthy Ki'cti-pa would slide from his gauntlet, locking into place. This was not what he had in mind... not for this planetary visit at least.
21:04:36 Siege{Chaos} waited calmly as his opponent prepared. He simply chuckled sadistically as he watched. Hybrid? You could say that, but not just of Xenomorph and human. Now that his opponent was aware and ready, Seth could get this show started. Is first move was simple, those glands would tense again and release another spray of acid. This time the acid was aimed for Himigash's helmet. Was it entirely acid treated? Only one way to find out.
21:07:52 Himigash watched Siege move, a green light flashing twice on his right gauntlet... this was a pain suppressent being pumped into his system. What did this do? Well, the moment that acid flew in his direction he stepped to his left, lowering himself to the ground to quickly sweep his right heel toward Seth's left leg, the sweep would be an attempt to either shatter the knee or know him down, either would suffice. His speed would have suddenly stepped up to about 90% of his performance, which was well beyond that of a basic hunter. He hisses, rolling clicks sounding as he moved, keeping his body movements other than that leg sweep pulled in tightly... avoiding contact with the acid on the ground long enough for it to oxydize.
21:12:45 Siege{Chaos} as Himigash ducked, Seth would quickly shif his grip on the knife and throw it straight down, driving it into the dirt in the path of the Hunter's foot. His own right foot would pull up and snap out quickly aimed to take the Yautja under the chin with enough force to knock his fully armored opponent back to the ground. If he was successful, he would simply wait for his opponent to regain his bearings. If not, He would take a quick slide back about five feet giving himself room away from his opponent's movements.
21:16:42 Himigash may have seemed cheap at this point, but he had little choice in his wounded state. The medication he had gained through his armor had given him a short period of time to have higher speed than normal, almost clear enough to see things in slow motion... yet that didn't improve his actual speed. As the blade was sent down toward his leg, his shoulder burner flipped to life, firing down with a gentle burst, causing the bladed weapon to be tossed away harmlessly. His right arm, which was free, while the left held his weight on the ground... caught the kick toward his chin, using the strength of the kick and his own strength to roll backwards, finding himself at a distanced stand off, now a good ten feet from his opponent(including Seth's slide backwards). He remained in a crouch for the moment, watching for the next move... defensive.
21:20:06 Siege{Chaos} chuckled as Himigash shot the knife out of the air. “You know you owe me a new one right.” He smirked. “I think I'll just take that ceremonial one you have there, should be good enough for now.” His left foot would kick down into the dirt and launch a cloud of pebbles and stones into the air. A quick spin and kick would send those rocks hurtling toward Himigash at about half the speed of a normal pistol round. He wasn't really aiming at the moment, just going more for the shotgun effect.
21:25:30 Himigash Saw the cloud of rocks and debris launch into the air, immediately rolling to the left, landing on his hands and feet, as he began to move toward the enemy those rocks and pebbles would fly harmlessly behind him... at least harmless to him now.. He wasn't in the mood for this, and he wasn't in the condition... all of this movement had caused the wounds that had been stitched by Isobel to break open, letting green blood drench his left arm and right side from the puncture wounds he had recieved, the reaction to this was that his armor injected a small dose of pain killer, and left him to continue the fight. "Isobel won't be pleased with that..."
21:30:41 Siege{Chaos} his features still held that smirk. He was enjoying this. He had that same look a little kid gets when he's burning ants with a magnifying glass. As Himisash neared him, Seth would begin to move again. Performing a motion similar to a magician pulling cards from the air, he would produce two more daggers. These two daggers would immediately be sent on a course to intercept Himigash and dig into the hunter's shoulders right where the armor met the base of the neck and it was weakest for the purpose of facilitating motion.
21:34:09 Himigash watched these movmeents carefully, a small shell-like object in each of his hands, seeming as if he had pulled them from his sides as he began his move toward the creature. Those two shells each sprouted five blades, yautja shuriken. He lifted both, catching the right dagger to knock it completey away, the other wasn't as successful, deflecting, but digging into the flesh on his right side. He groaned, sliding to a stop to release both of these defensive weapons, whirling quickly toward the male that had attacked him, both aiming toward the chest cavity. As soon as he would release these weapons he would slide to a stop only a few feet away, arms and wrist blades up, waiting for an opening or a need to defend.
21:38:33 Siege{Chaos} as those shurikens neared him, Seth would simply bend backwards. His center of gravity shifting better than an olympic gymnast as he bent nearly 90 degrees at the waist. Of course he wouldn't let those shurikens fly past. Each of his hands shot out with genetically enhanced reflexes to grab the handhold in the center of each of those discs. He would come back up quickly and bring those shurikens in front of him to protect against any attacks Himigash would try to make with his wristblades. “Come now hunter. Even injured you should do better than this.” Goading his opponent? Hey he had only been in Yautja society, that didn't mean he followed all their rules.
21:42:12 Himigash watched quietly for a moment, reaching down to hit one singular button on his left wrist, what did this do? The Shurikens each flashed a pattern on a display on their bottom sides, and within a second they would have both detonated with nearly the force of a grenade. He would have crossed his arms infront of himself, to shield himself... the blast if not stopped would force him off of his feet and into a tumble backwards. Yautja in his clan were more about winning against a xenomorph swarm than anything else... so was their mission. This meant that many of their expendable resources were often made into small detonating explosives... which was of course effective for his enemies. He had planned to use these weapons again... unfortunately... he would not be able to at this point...
21:47:50 Siege{Chaos} explosive. . .? Well, Seth certainly hadn't seen that one coming. For a few seconds after the explosion, it seemed as if the soldier had finally bitten the dust. Then, a shuffling sound would be heard in the cloud of debris left over from the explosion. Seth would come stepping out of the dust, that telltale smirk still plastered on his face. He was cut up and bloody, but he was made of tougher stuff than a grenade would take. A look to his hands would show the most damage though as he was missing three fingers on one and four on the other. Why exactly then was he smirking? “I'll have to give you that one hunter. It was a nice ploy, and one that would have likely worked on a lesser opponent.” His blood was sizzling where drops hit the ground, that same acid eating into the dirt. The blood flow however was already beginning to lessen as nanites and larraman cells in his body rushed to wounded areas to create a nearly instant scar tissue and staunch the flow. Even that scar tissue was rapidly fading as his<c>
21:48:00 Siege{Chaos} body began to repair itself. As for his hands? Nubs were already forming where his fingers would be.
21:52:37 Himigash stood straight up, as the dust cleared he steppped forward quietly, fingers wrapping around the Naginata that lay rooted into the Earth. He would pull it free, lowering his posture, adjusting his balance. He was more than proficient with this weapon, but he was beginning to feel faint, tired. He had no rest in the last two days, and a recent tussle with a group of the Earth Armed Forces had already left him battered and beaten. "There is no honor in the way you fight, no strength in an ability to heal so quickly from a loss like that. In this condition I cannot come out the victor here..." He stood watching, to those who may have been paying attention, this would all sound like clicking and hissing. He lowered his head slightly, watching cautiously. "I could use my Burners and turn you into a pile of burning flesh, but we both know that would be against the rules of engagement."
22:01:12 Siege{Chaos} watched as his opponent grabbed his naginata. Seth didn't mind. Each second allowed the nanites and his natural healing to further repair his body. His fingers were already halfway to the first knuckle even as they spoke. “I am not in this fight for honor. I am in this fight for something that is to be gained and something I have been denied sometime now.” He smirked again. “If you wish to have any change of surviving I'd suggest you pull out the stops and use whatever means you have.” A slight click might make it to Himigash's ears followed by a subtle visual clue as the air just above Seth skin rippled and shimmered for a second. He would chuckle again and reach down with the hand that currently had two fingers and remove a small blue orb from his pocket. The orb would subsequently be tossed in front of the hunter, detonating mid air and face level. These were basically flash bangs, a deafening concussion with enough force to shatter eardrums, a bright flash of light to blind people. <c>
22:01:14 Siege{Chaos} They however also released a paralyzing nerve gas which could leave a victim motionless for a few hours if he was lucky or permanently if he wasn't.
22:04:39 Himigash took this opportunity. He was tired, wounded, and irritated. The moment the flash was set off he took a sharp breath, turning to sprint a good distance out of the effective combat area. He swiftly moved into the treeline off to the northern edge of the road. It had been nearly 48 hours of non-stop fighting for him... He was out of medication, which would have allowed him to continue the combat as it was, and he was losing blood to fast to continue. His only chance was to quickly escape for now... this fight wasn't even his to be had in the first place.
22:08:17 Siege{Chaos} he was running? Oh well, Seth had warned him. Since his hands weren't healed yet, gripper arm would sprout from his shoulder blade, holding onto one of his railgun pistols. Five rapid shots were fired. One for the center of Himigash's back and one for each shoulder and his hips. These were explosive rounds traveling over mach 5. Doubtful Himigash would dodge them.
22:14:00 Siege{Chaos} watched with a pleased smirk as the bullets collided with the fleeing figure and released their small explosions, dropping into the dirt. Seth would casually pick up the pieces of exploded Shuriken and place them in his pocket before walking over to the body. “I warned ya.”His entire form would liquefy into that thick black ooze and flow over the downed hunter. After a few moments, Seth stood back up, the body digested far enough for him to move and walk home. After consuming the hunter, he would rebuild the gear and add it to his arsenal.
20:45:32 Himigash looked toward the male quietly, seeming to have a change in heart about the entire situation so suddenly, a series of hisses and clicking beginning. "Ki'cte! I have to Dtai'k-dte a Ooman? No, you are a Dachande than Nain-de. I am a soldier, one with a speciailized set of rules! My clan does not fight the Pyode amedha!"
