Cookies in the Woods (Ohkara)

[Ohkara Minamaru]

Caught in the blast herself, Ohkara was flung backwards, her umbrella knocked out of her hand. However, in such a situation Ohkara was the one at the advantage; she knew exactly how her attack worked, therefore she was prepared for exactly what happened next. As her body flew backwards, her feet jolted downwards, connecting with the dirt and propelling her upwards. Momentum taking over, the young lady would spin backwards in a backflip. Diving towards the ground, she would use her forwards momentum her hands would connect with the floor and propel her upwards once more, springing her back into the air. With a few more showboat-y flips, the young lady would land on her feet with all the grace of an Olympic gymnast, and glance over her shoulder to see Brandon inside a tree.

With a bright, cocky grin, Ohkara flirtatiously shook her butt in tiny victory dance, before jumping into the air and spinning to face him, ”Oh yeah!~” she exclaimed happily, ”I believe that round belongs to me!~” he pointed her thumbs to herself, then giggled happily. Glancing back to Brandon she giggled, playfully sticking her pierced tongue out to tease him, ”Sorry big boy!~” she taunted, ”I’m fighting to win!~”

Staying active just long enough for her to finish her flirting, Ohkara’s toxic green aura would fade out. Taking a deep, staggered breath, she would force a smile, ”Damn, that was draining… I better kick it down a notch… Wouldn’t want to make a stupid mistake…” she thought to herself, enjoying a moment of rest after such a taxing task. Seemed she’d have to figure out a different way to counter his shadowmancy… ”But how?~”

[Brandon]

Still laughing, Brandon saw Ohkara power down her bright aura, allowing all the shadows around the campfire to come back.

As she teased him, Brandons laughter slowly became more ominous, as if the mysterious guy had become possessed by a demon. (Sample)

As he laughed, Brandon used the shadow behind him against the tree, and actually seemed to sink into it, vanishing into the dark.

What happened next would potentially terrify Ohkara.

For Brandon started to rapidly use his 'Shadowport' technique in almost every shadow around Ohkara. He kept building up momentum and speed, while maintaining his focus until it came to the point, that to every one of Ohkaras senses would be overwhelmed by several things. Her ability to sense Brandons energy went berserk, as she would actually sense that Brandon was EVERYWHERE at once. Her eyes would see flickers of Brandons glowing eyes all around her.

His ominous laughter still rung in the forest around her as he attempted to confuse and frighten Ohkara.

Granted, maintaining such focus and energy for such quick Shadowporting was slowly taking its toll on Brandon, much like Ohkara's Aura Burst did... But such effects were not present just yet in Brandon....

(Laugh Sample)

[Ohkara Minamaru]

Watching as the laughing Brandon went bananas, his laughing darkening, his eyes glowing brighter, Ohkara rose a brow with interest, ”Just what is he planning?” she asked internally; however, she would not have to wait long to figure it out. Suddenly the tall, slender, grey-skinned man melted away into the shadows behind him, his cackling now echoing throughout the forest.

With a snarl and a muffled curse, Ohkara straightened he back, retaking her defensive stance as his eyes darted in every direction, her ki sense allowing her to track the curious-man’s movements as he rapidly teleported from place to place. Nevertheless, a grin appeared on the girls face; she had a move just for such an occasion; as violent as such an attack might be, she’d do her best to tone it down just enough to suit it’s purpose of stopping the man in his tracks.

”Heyah!~” Ohkara exclaimed, leaping straight up into the air without warning. Once an appropriate distance in the air, near the tops of the tallest trees, she’d point her left palm directly towards the ground- Brandon’s location. Steadying her left arm at the elbow with the other Ohkara shouted: ”METEOR BARRAGE!” and let loose a barrage of base-ball sized ki blasts. Of course, such a scatter-shot was the appropriate counter to Brandon’s move, at least in the green-haired girl’s mind.

(Perfect Composure: 3/4)

[Brandon]

Brandon was rapidly teleporting around when Ohkara launched her spreadshot of an attack. Brandon actually had to slow down in an attempt to avoid them all, but using up his focus for all the shadowporting made him somewhat dizzy.

Trying to avoid the blasts, Brandon tripped on a root and almost fell to his hands and knees. But he just stumbled and saw a blast was headed right for him!

Holding out his hands, Brandon caught the blast in his hands and struggled to hold it. "Nnngh, I wont lose!" He said, as the ball of energy in his hands slowly turned to a very dark purple colour, and Brandon felt the energy change. "Take this!" He yelled, as he threw the dark energy ball right at Ohkara as she hovered in the air.

Taking a moment to realize what happened, Brandon looked at his hands and said "What the hell did I just do to your energy?" as he looked very confused.

[Ohkara Minamaru]

Ohkara’s plan was successful; at least in stopping the gray-skinned man in his dizzying frenzy. However, he ended up doing something curious to one of the last of her barrage attack. Catching the bright-green sphere in his hands he began to corrupt it with his own dark ki. Growing in size a bit it didn’t take him long to hurl the ball directly back at the green-haired girl.

The woman huffed a bit pooling together her ki as the sphere hurled toward her. Reeling backwards in the sky to ready a kick her foot began glowing as her energy began to build a medieval-looking foot-piece on her right foot. As quickly as the piece of armor formed the young woman would release her kick, just in time for her armored foot to connect with the dark purple blast. Struggling against the force for a moment the blast would mold around her foot. Then, like a spring released from pressure it would spring straight up into the sky; the young lady kicking the blast away like a soccer ball.

As the sphere flew high into the sky, Ohkara would snicker and continue her momentum, spinning gracefully as her green foot traced the sky like a ribbon as it dissolved. Upon completing the rotation she would expertly point a left index finger at the sphere and exclaim ”Bang!~” cutely and fire a Finger Shot at it; her blast quickly catching up to the larger, and detonating high in the sky above them like a beautiful firework: the dark black streaking through the last bit of twilight over the horizon, the bright-green and dark purple clashing beautifully in a wonderful display.

With a giggle, she’d turn to face Brandon, only her outlined silhouette illuminated. Hands on her hips she cutely leaned forwards and huffed, ”That all you got, big boy?~” she called down, teasing him; regardless of the fact that his last attack had indeed been a powerful one, ”Cause I’m just getting warmed up!~” she added, giggling a bit.

Quickly dropping directly downwards, she would land near her umbrella, using the light from the explosion to easily pick out the vibrant accessory in the dark, as well as eliminate the shadows for a few moments. Shoving the umbrella back into her belt she’d waste no time charging the gray-skinned man once more; determined to see his worth in melee combat. Drawing a fist back as she neared him, going full speed, she would fire of a three punch combo, followed by a harsh knee to the stomach; if successful with the latter she would finish up with a spinning kick to send the man flying away from her.

Technique Requested:
Bulletproof!~-
Using highly concentrated ki the user is able to create a single hand or foot piece (Gauntlet+Vambrace, or Greave+Sabaton) which allows them to redirect, or deflect, one single ki blast. In addition, this piece of armor can also be used in one single melee attack to amp up the damage.
Lasts one post; Two post cool down.

[Brandon]

Shielding his eyes from the bright fireworks, Brandon was unaware of what Ohkara was doing exactly, but by the time his eyes had readjusted, he saw that she was rushing right at him.

Having little time to react, Brandon was hit by the full force of her combo, ending with a kick right at the side of his head that did indeed send him flying.

But instead of falling over, or crashing into something like he could of done, Brandon actually stopped himself from hitting anything by grabbing onto the ground, tearing it up. Eventually, he stopped sliding across the ground and just stayed motionless, atleast, to Ohkara, he was motionless.

To Brandon though, the kick to his head shook many locked memories loose and most of his past came flooding back to him, as well as parts of his previous power that caused his aura to flare up. Ohkara could feel Brandon power rise up (Up to 39,400. Weights are still on. X2 activated), as she could also see that any fairies nearby, as well as some forest creatures actually started to run away. Even the grass around Brandon seemed to start to wilt, all on its own.

When Brandon looked up to her, His eyes had gone from Purple, to a dark red colour. Hell, even his teeth had changed from a normal human set of teeth, to sharp pointed things that only a shark or a demon would have. "Dark Harmonizer!" He shouted, as several beams of energy erupted into existence all around Brnadon, and launched themselves wight frightening speed and power... Right Towards Ohkara!

Dark Harmonizer
A deadly technique that requires Brandon to be powered up to use.
By concentrating heavy amounts of his dark powers into several points at once, He is able to fire off several powerful beams of energy with pinpoint accuracy.
However, due to the power expended in this attack, it has a 2 post cool down.

[Ohkara Minamaru]

With her strikes proving successful, and Brandon sent flying across the forest floor, Ohkara would have a few moments to recuperate. Taking a deep breath she’d watch as the grey-skinned man skidded across the ground using his hands to stop him. The young lady felt something strange about the situation; as if something were wrong. Suddenly the man’s power signature doubled, surpassing even her own; with surprise she’d jump back, noting the physical changes that came with the man’s sudden boost in energy.

”Oh shi-!” she started as he fired several ki beams at her. There was no denying if one were to hit it would seriously hurt; to avoid that Ohkara would have to react quickly, and utilize her Inner-Strength. Though the young woman was reluctant to give up her element of surprise; putting that aside she’d clench her hands into fists, curl them across her chest, and thrust them backwards with a mighty roar, ”Heeeeyaaaaah!~”

Her own signature would quadruple- even though reduced from her weights it resonated a boisterous 134,200, dwarfing the man’s own; at levels these high, in such close proximity even if he couldn’t directly since power levels he’d be able to feel this.

Her toxic-green aura exploded under her, the ground shaking, hunks of dirt exploding upwards as her legs kick downwards, springing her into the air with impressive speed. The barrage of blasts connected with the space where she’d been standing and detonated. Rushing forwards, utilizing the max of her speed, she’d draw her umbrella, the power gap likely too huge for the man to react. ”Take…” she’d grunt, expertly drawing her umbrella from her belt and fluidly reaching around Brandon’s back to stab the tip of the accessory into the ground behind him. Taking her right hand, palm forwards she would aim it towards the man’s chest ”This!~”; by giving him a shove she was hoping he’d stumble backwards and trip over the umbrella. As simple a strategy as it was, she hopped that her use of her transcendence was enough.

(Inner-Strength: 1/2)

[Brandon]

Brandon was surprised that the woman was able to power up as much as she had done. He had no idea that she had been hiding such huge power inside of her... feminine body.

With no time to react, He felt the womans palm strike his chest, pushing him backwards. But instead of holding his ground, he felt his feet caught on something behind him, causing him to start to fall backwards.

But for this, he could react to, as he put his hands out and instead of falling down... Brandon bent his back a bit, and made himself do a flip backwards, attempting to kick Ohkara in the jaw as he did so. Granted, at such a huge power difference, the kick would more the likely feel like a tickle to the woman.

But trying to trip him was not going to be as easy as she would of hoped it was.

Ohkara was going to have to be more clever then that if she were to win this fight.

Wondering if she was tiring yet, Brandon smirked.... oh what a creepy smirk it was. With all those sharp pointed teeth and those red eyes? It was just freaky. "Are you finished yet, Little Girl?" He asked, as he was slinging her verbal teasing right back at her.

[Ohkara Minamaru]

The man managed to avoid tripping, using his backwards momentum to redirect his body into a flip, delivering a hard kick to Ohkara’s chin; the woman taking the hit dead on without flinching, feeling little more than a tap. She smiled insanely at the grey-skinned man, as he teased her, her face looking as if that was the final straw. In truth, the woman was having a great time, ”Hehe!~ You’re all talk!” she taunted back, before darting forward once more, at maximum speed.

Clearing the distance in the blink of an eye, Ohkara feigned a mean right hook as she neared him, and instead continuing on with her momentum by dropping low and kicking her foot own in a spinning sweep at the man’s feet. If successful Ohkara would follow her rotation only to bring her heel over her head and slam it down on Brandon’s torso, of course toning down her power level just before impact, planting the final flag of victory- that was if it did what her last plan didn’t, succeed.

The man had been able to keep up a moment before, however Ohkara knew that she only had one more chance to make the most of her transcendence; putting her everything into her attack, she was confident it would do its job. If it didn’t it would be a little while before she could give it a shot again…

(Inner Strength: 2/2)

[Brandon]

Brandon watched as she rushed at him again. "Not this time!" He said, before leaping into the air as she tried to sweep him off of his feet, literally.

Her leg came up, supposedly to finish him up, but with teh height that Brandon had jumped, the attack was for naught. Granted, it came so close, he felt the wind from her foot as it moved through the air. It was too close.

Landing behind Ohkara, Brandon felt a bit weaker then he did before. Panting heavily, he couldnt help but smile as he to was enjoying the battle.

"Why dont....ha....Why dont we call this a draw for now?" He said in between breaths.

Just standing there, Brandon could feel that his energy was low, and that his aura started to flicker in intensity as he strained to keep his powered up state....

[Ohkara Minamaru]

As fluid as her moves were it seemed that luck was in the man’s favor for the night. As he leaped into the air her sweep missed; her second kick missing him by mere milliseconds. She stood in place for a moment before her fiery-green aura died out, the darkness of forest devouring her. It would be another moment before her first breath would be audible: a loud, tired huff of breath escaping; thankfully such a sign of exhaustion would be silenced by the man’s voice.

Ohkara’s eyes widened, ”A draw!?” she thought to herself with surprise, at first she was offended by the offer; then suddenly the reality set in. She had indeed exhausted quite a bit of energy… Perhaps it would be smartest to retreat for now, and return with some techniques she could design specifically against him. With a smirk, she straightened her posture, and turned to face the grey-skinned man; her poker-face flawless in showing no signs of exhaustion- she was a brilliant actress.

”Awwww!~” she pouted playfully, ”A draw? Are you serious?~” with a cocked head she’d put a thumb to her lips and playfully turn from side to side in thought, ”Well, I guess we could call it a draw… It’s getting kinda late anyways…” she smiled brightly at him, then playfully stuck her tongue out, showing off the glow-in-the-dark jewelry at its center, ”A cute girl like me probably shouldn’t be out by themselves much later!~” she exclaimed, a mocking motherly tone, ”It’s dangerous, you know!~” she said shaking a finger at Brandon, then bursting into laughter. Obviously there was nothing for such a strong pair of fighters to be scared of.

[Brandon]

Brandon couldn't help but laugh as well after Ohkara finished talking and started to laugh to.

"Oh yeah totally, you dont know what kind of men could be lurking in the shadows, right?" He asked, totally playing along as he stuck his tongue out playfully as well, though he had nothing glowing on his tongue like she did. But his playful demeanor was cut short as he let out a small huff and sat on the ground.

Taking in a few deep breaths, he smirked at Ohkara. "Looks like no money or kisses will be exchanged tonight. Haha... But I gotta tell ya, 10 more minutes, you probably would of won by default." He said as he stood up slowly after taking a few minutes to sit down.

"I have to admit, you got a hell lot of spunk in ya, but I know your tired to. No one can expend as much energy as you did, and still not be tired...."

[Ohkara Minamaru]

Sharing the laugh, Brandon teased playfully back, getting yet another burst of laughter out of young Ohkara. His exhaustion proving to be too much for him as he slumped on the ground, and then commented on their bet and that she probably could have bettered him. With a smirked, Ohkara turned and eyed him from a side-glance, ”You know what, Brandon?~” she asked, then giggled, ”I coulda had you in five!~”; be that true, or not Ohkara had no intentions of revealing it.

His next comments made the woman’s brow rise curiously. With a slight giggle she’d turn and cross her arms over her chest, kicking out her hip, ”Hehe! That may be true~” she teased playfully, then rolled her eyes and rocked to the other hip. ”Then again… It might not…”

Smirking slyly Ohkara would walk over and hold her hand out to the man, ”Anyways, Brandon. It was a pleasure to meet you. Don’t you go forgetting that you owe me a rematch now!~” she cooed, shooting him a wink, ”Maybe next time we can up the ante a little bit!~

[Brandon]

Giving Ohkara an odd look, he was a bit scared to ask her what she meant by 'up teh ante a bit' for their next match.

"What do you mean?" He asked, as he gently took her hand, and with her help, got up to his feet properly. "Like make the bet bigger?" He asked, though he had a feeling he probably shouldn't of asked her. The way she was constantly teasing him, there was probably something sinister in her plans for Brandon, which made him nervous.

"Because if its more money you want, Im afraid I dont have much more..." He said, feeling a bit embarassed.

[Ohkara Minamaru]

With a bright giggle and a shrug she said, ”I dunno, maaaaaaybe!~”

Not releasing his hand as he got to his feet, she would give him a firm handshake and smile kindly, ”I have a feeling I’ll be seeing you around!~” she told him, releasing her grasp on his hand, ”Thanks for everything! Tonight was wonderful!~” taking a step back she would playfully blow him a kiss, then turn around and start for the sky.

”It’s a shame you’re a taken, man!~” she added flirtatiously with an over the shoulder wave of her hand, ”If you weren’t, I’ve had thought this to be a perfect first date!~” she cooed, not looking back to see his reaction, ”Oh well, though!~ See ya later, Braaaaaandon!~” finished, then took off with impressive speed, quickly fading into the horizon.

Brandon was a curious man- or whatever it was that he truly was. Even through the bad vibe he constantly gave her, he was able to win her favor. She did like him. He’d proven to be very fun to mess with; unlike both Ethar and Ethan. Interacting with him had been a nice break from what had come to be the normal within the recent year. But now it was time for her to head home, where she would shower and go to bed; convinced she would indeed best the man the next time the two fought in battle:

”That’ll be the last draw he’ll ever get…”

(Exit Ohkara. Heavy Weights in effect. PL, pleaseandthankyou!~)
