Leiko vs Bonnet vs Genzo!

Jumping a little to the side, Bonnet avoided the other puppets coming at him. After they stopped, he got rid of the sword. Biting it, he pulled it out. And it hurt.. The shoulder finished its diamond coating. It would be hard to move his arm with the cut so he would attempt to attack with the shoulder despite the damage it would receive. Even if his arm couldn't move he could use it like his other shoulder.

"Where is this opponent coming from... Dealing with this swordsman will be much more difficult having to watch out for flying objects now," Bonnet muttered.

He kicked the sword away from Genzo, making things a little bit harder for him. Obviously he could still retrieve the sword, but Bonnet and the hidden enemy were in his way.

She was getting annoyed now, the large dolt with a missing arm didn’t seem to be able to see her puppet on the pavement away from him about two or three meters away. Then she stopped and thought, how large was a one-story building? She stepped away the threads of her  KopiKopi. It’ll be vulnerable for a moment, causing it to clatter to the ground, but she had a bit of a devious plan, it included her decoy actually DOING something. She ran toward the stairway and moved down it.
 
She needed to get to the second floor window, so she could have enough reach to attack them. Of course, she wasn’t going to reply to the swordsman’s audacious outcry, she wouldn’t’ wan to give herself away, and they can stab at the decoy for all they want, as long as there are little pieces of him for her to control, she can make use of it.

Watching as the one armed idiot pulled out the sword and tossed it away Genzo held his two swords firmly in his hands. That was the handy thing about having three swords.

Waiting for the next move from either the idiot or the stranger lurking in the shadows Genzo remained vigilant and kept his eyes trained on all surroundings.

He was going to wait for someone else to make the first move to avoid bringing danger to himself. He wanted his opponents to bring about their own death on themselves. It was just like the days when he'd been a bandit, patiently waiting for someone else to put themself in danger than landing them in it yourself.

Bonnet was thinking the same thing.. He didn't want to risk anything. There was an opponent from the shadows and his shoulder was hurt. There was no need to hurt it even more without any purpose. Bonnet stood his ground and prepared to counter whatever came his way.

Leiko ran toward the window, re-attaching her strings and trying to stay out of sight. She ordered the puppet to move forwards, with the extra range she'd be able to reach them. It sped towards Genzo, with its hood down and a spike coming out of its right arm.

It went for a forward stab toward Genzo's chest, attempting to impale him quickly then move backwards and block, though sinceh e's a swordsman he'd probably be able to block it, she wanted to see how strong he was before even trying to do anything.

Watching as the pathetic one armed coward copied him afraid to make a move like he'd done previously and clearly in the know that he was going to lose and stood no chance in winning, Genzo rolled his eyes. He hated people who couldn't think for themselves and had to rely on others to figure out their next move.

Noticing the puppet that had been lingering around lunging for him with a spike shooting towards the chest Genzo raised his two blades crossing them in front of his chest attempting to catch the impact.

The stiletto blade which darted towards him, made him uncomfortable and sent fear down his spine, but the blades which crossed in front of his torso gave him bravery to withstand the impact.

Keeping an eye trained on Bonnet as well as the puppet Genzo awaited another attack.

As Genzo was attacked by the puppet, coming from behind, Bonnet tried to make the most out of the situation. Attempting to ram him with his left shoulder, he flew in from behind. Bonnet knew he could defeat Genzo if he made the most out of his opportunities.

The attack wasn't supposed to be dirty, but smart. Why attack when the opponent had the advantage? Genzo had the range with his blade, and Bonnet was missing an arm and the other one was injured. It was because of the other opponent with even more range...

Bonnet was going to go all out risking it all trying to take down the swordsman. The attack would be followed by more strikes depending on Genzo's response and the other opponent as well. Bonnet was in a difficult situation anyways, there wasn't much of a difference standing still or on the attack.

Leiko smiled to herself. The swordsman was on the defensive, and it seemed the crystal-freak was using dirtier tactics. She brought her fingers back, and jabbed them forward, then to the side and backward, causing the puppet to stab toward the right, before turning the feint in an almost impossible angle, attempting to bring the arm toward Genzo with the blade facing at him. In this move, she’d try to stab him in the lower left ribs. She left the puppet open because well… It’s a puppet. She didn’t really need it to be in tip-top condition for it to live, because it doesn’t live.
 
That swordsman is just fighting a husk, controlled by her.

((OOC: Bonnet was standing beside Genzo and you just wrote that he suddenly is charging at me form behind without moving. I'm posting that he is charging at me from the side where he was. There is no mention of you being behind me or even going behind me until you attack and the attack states you were already there.))

Watching as the idiot charged towards him with a shoulder leading the charge Genzo decided to use this to his advantage and allowing his blades to slip down towards the right limply he allowed the attack from the puppet to slip down towards the ground.

As he did this Genzo turned to run from the incoming attack hoping that the charge Bonnet was leading with all the momentum he had fueled behind it would bring him crashing into the attack coming his way from the puppet.

Turning to see the situation unfolding Genzo begun to spin his swords one in each hand. Spinning them rapidly they begun to twirl quickly becoming nothing more than a silver blur. Holding them out either side of his body he grinned.

[OOC: People shift around in battle? But oh well no worries]

Charging at Genzo, he was stopped. A flying object was aimed at the swordsman, but it was redirected to Bonnet now.

Being unbalanced, Bonnet tripped and flew past Genzo. Kicking at the ground, Bonnet made distance between the two. Bonnet started at Genzo as he prepared for whatever was next.

Leiko stared at the swordsman and his twirling twirls of doom, before dragging the puppet back into the house, disengaging from the swordsman so he could concentrate on the fistman or whatever. She dragged him up and into the window. She showed her actual location to them, but it'd take time to make another human-sized puppet and she didnt' want it being destroyed.

She sized it up, and removed the legs and strings, attaching it to her back as she headed downstairs toward the kitchen, while she was going there, she re-attatched limbs, though this time only with one joint each, she scraped it against the wooden exterior and grew an extra set of limbs for it.

Entering the kitchen, she opened a drawer, and took out a few knives, before looking out of the kitchen toward the two and grinning to herself.

Keeping his cool and remaining vigilant Genzo stepped away from the two. Looking towards the woman who made puppets then towards the one armed fool Genzo wanted to keep his sight clear and an eye on them both. Still spinning both of his swords he inhaled on his cigarette before exhaling through the side of his mouth stopping the smoke from clouding his line of sight.

For some reason, Bonnet got "Icantfinishthisarena" syndrome. His head turned tomato red and he collapsed to the floor. He died.

She removed flexibility in the legs in order to give more weapons to the puppet. She put a whole load of kitchen-knives inside it. She re-attached the strings, and made it clumsily move outside.

She quickly de-attached the strings and ran up the stairs again.

Once she arrived, she out re-attach the strings.

Realizing this strange creature was now his only opponent Genzo begun to sprint, rushing past Bonnet he placed a sword in between his teeth and lifted the one he'd left in Bonnet's shoulder.

Holding it in his hand he continued running. With a sword in each hand and one in his mouth, Genzo needed to finish this fight. Watching this creature clumsily make its way outside, Genzo watched as the strings re-attached themselves to what seemed to be a woman on the upper levels of a building.

Sprinting towards the legs of the creature, Genzo figured it'd probably be best to cripple the creature and continue on wards to the puppeteer.

Three Sword Style: Lycan Three Way Strike: Double Paw

Slashing left with all of his blades then right, Genzo hoped he firmly crippled the creature and sprinted towards the building. As he came close to a window, Genzo raised his blades in front of his face and turned launching himself into a shoulder barge.

Shattering the window as he landed on his right shoulder, Genzo picked himself up as quickly as he could manage, now it was just a job of reaching the roof slicing this woman to pieces.

Maybe sacrificing mobility for attack power wasn’t the best idea. She tried to manoeuvre the puppet into defending itself, with all arms swinging downwards, but it couldn’t kneel nor hardly bend down. She had to do something to stop it from being broken, she tugged the strings as hard as she could, and disengaged it from the legs, It got struck by the man’s attack, but mostly in the disengaged parts so she salvaged some of that.
 
Meanwhile, he seemed to want to break into the house through the window when he could’ve just easily opened the door. Or did she put her puppet in the way? No time to check. She pulled the puppet’s body up toward her, while in the other hand she started to make a joint, this time it was some kind of circular contraption with a socket. Quickly, the puppet got retracted back toward her in the room. She should’ve stayed at the roof, and jumped to another house. Quickly she made another socket into the top half of the puppet and linked them together, before placing the circular part around her waist. 
 
She put her arms down and kept the strings attached to the arms. The lower set moved to protect her chest in an “X” formation.
 
(Note: She’s in the room upstairs, not on the roof)

Charging up the stairs, Genzo kicked open one door and found it empty, grunting he looked into another room to find again no one there. Inhaling on his cigarette Genzo exhaled out of the left side of his mouth and walked towards the final room in the house. Kicking the door open he found Leiko standing at the window.

"Well, well, well. Look what we have here." he spoke as he raised his swords and grinned.

Charging towards Leiko he lowered his right blade and sheathed his left.

One Sword Style: Lucifer's Brimstone Rainbow

Swinging his blade into the air after dragging it along the ground and heating it up with friction, he leapt into the air and heavily brought it down towards Leiko from above. Planning on slashing through her head he wanted blood.

Alright, he was looking around the rooms, that should give her a couple of moments to further prepare. She had four more joints to fill, she gave it to the wrists. Now, she was protected by four arms, not including her own. That was all ten joints, she wished she could use her arms as well to protect herself, she had a bunch of knives on the table, but it’s probably better this way.
 
The door slammed upon. There he was! Anyway, what happened to the other guy? Did he die of cardiac arrest? Or was he knocked out? “You wouldn’t hurt a lady, would you?” She asked, she was about to put on a scared, innocent face before he started to run to her. Yes, yes he would!
 
Wait.. His sword, his sword looked like it was heating up, was that even possible? She wasn’t quite sure what the floor was made of, but eh, it was happening.  To counter, she started to move her fingers, three of the puppet arms moved their knives to protect her head, where she assumed Genzo was going to hit, due to his jump. (They would be in this shape /|\) Hopefully they would hold, she braced herself for the impact, meanwhile with the last arm, the bottom left, she tried to swing upwards, trying to stab him somewhere in the chest for leaving himself so exposed in that attack.

Crashing down and feeling his sword slam into the blades Genzo was held in the air and pushed off from the blades launching himself backwards just in time to narrowly avoid the blade heading towards his chest, however it did manage to cut Genzo's left cheek.

Landing on the ground looking at the woman through eyes that seemed to scream. 'How dare you' removing the other blade Genzo quickly looked over the environment trying to figure out the best way to win this fight.

Inhaling on his cigarette Genzo grinned.

Demon Blindness exhaling Genzo breathed smoke towards Leiko attempting to blind her. A gust of thick smoke traveled towards her. Inhaling again & quickly exhaling, Genzo did this 8 times as quickly as he could manage.

Through the smoke Genzo took advantage of this temporary blindness by side stepping left, then right around the puppet.

Two Sword Style: Death's Executioner Cross

Leiko smiled a little to herself as her puppet arms held, though it was a shame that she only managed to scratch his cheek. She stood still for a moment, looking at Genzo with those nigh-emotionless, serene eyes of hers before standing up straight. She needed a way to defeat the swordsman, he had one blade, she had four. He had two arms, she had six. She could probably deal with him in a straight up right, though probably by sacrificing a few arms.
 
She blinked as she smelt something. ..Smoke? She looked at the man, he was inhaling and blowing smoke? Wouldn’t that just deplete the cigarette, unless it had some kind of pocket-dimension inside the wrap, and even then with ten people smoking at the same time, it wouldn’t cause the amount of smoke happening there. Was it a form of life return? Anyway, she had to deal with this. The window was open, but there’s no wind. She coughed a little, but as she did so she heard footsteps.
 
Was he trying to flank her? To counter, she started to spin around on one leg, and manoeuvring the arms to reach out with their blades, four arms for four directions, she’d become like a slower version of a turbine. Maybe she’d be also able to clear the smoke. She heard the impact of her right-puppet arm as its elbow clashed against the man’s blades, she pulled the strings and attempted to send the rest of the arms toward where she hoped was Genzo’s chest.

Dropping what was left of his cigarette on the floor which was barely a butt, Genzo felt something pierce his left shoulder as his blade came into contact with something. Suddenly he was met by a series of other blades shooting directly past his face on either side. Slicing through the top of his right ear he grunted in pain.

Falling backwards from the blade that had sorely wounded his shoulder, Genzo hit the ground in pain. Blood now left his shoulder and his left arm was virtually useless for the time being. Rolling over to his right along the wooden flooring with dust that rose from the movement, Genzo picked himself up and darted towards the door.

As he attempted to escape the room Genzo sheathed his sword and reached into his pocket. Covering his actions with his back, Genzo removed a small box of matches from the pocket within his jacket.

Pulling the door shut behind him, Genzo removed his jacket as he stood on the other side. Tying it around the door handle Genzo struck the match box with the rest of the matches then dropped them in the jacket setting it alight.

Before the puppeteer knew it she would be engulfed in flames.
