Violet merely looked at both boys, she didn't recall ever sparring with them before. It was of no matter, as soon as Akashi said 'ready' she went into action, she 'marked' Akashi with her semblance before diving towards Amber and performing a sweeping kick at his legs, attempting to knock him off his feet before rolling away and jumping back to her feet, expecting Akashi to take a shot at them she ducked behind a crate.
Amber back flipped onto the the crates behind him as Violet swiped at his legs. Aiming his Twin Shot at Violet, he fired his now orange round right at her. The bullet exploded in a small fiery eruption as fire infused lighting lashed out in random directions.
"Quick off the mark, are we Vi?" Akashi chuckled as he quickly collapsed Black Eclipse and placed it behind him before quickly taking a step back from the girl.Back flipping a few times to a safe distance, he saw Amber take aim at Violet and fired, what he didn't expect was the shot that Amber took flew everywhere."Yikes! Was that on purpose or was that a mistake?!" the brown haired archer shouted to his comrade, before hitting the wall, hard. "That was also not supposed to happen, but!" flipping onto the wall, he pushed himself off hard with his legs diving straight back into the fray, quickly cocking his right arm, he fired a well placed strike into Amber's chest. It was an attack to make him move, and taking it head on was a very bad idea.
Violet felt the heat from the explosions as she narrowly dove out of harms way. Akashi had decided to attack Amber, and that was fine. It gave Violet a chance to slip away. She quickly hid behind one of the loading vehicles as she reformed her bow, all the while keeping track of Akashi with her semblance, if Akashi ever tried to move towards her, she'd automatically be aware of it.
After Amber shot his first combo round, he shoved in two greens as Violet ran away while Akashi yelled at him from afar. "It was planed, and I have more up my sleeve too." As Akashi dived at him, he rolled off a random crate, and quickly took off into the opposite direction.
Getting far enough where he thought no one could see him, Amber started to blend into his surroundings, "Good luck finding me."
"Ahhhh....." As Akashi skidded to a halt, he saw that both his teammates were now hidden from him. "Oi, wasn't this suppose to be a sparing match?"
Quietly, Akashi waited for a response before sighing to himself. The annoyed boy took out his weapon and soon knotted another the arrow into the bow. "Alright then, lemme get this back on track then guys!" smirking to himself, he soon raised the Black Eclipse into air and began firing several arrows high into the sky. Gravity quickly did its job and his arrows landed all across the battlefield. "Since we are playing the hide and seek game, that you two like so much," a dark grin took place on his face, "Why don't you come out and play nice?"
As if on cue, the arrows that Akashi spread around the area started to beep loudly as the bottom of the arrows flashed. "Now I wonder what that can be?" he asked childishly, "could that be my explosive arrows?"
Akashi's rhetorical question was answered with an arrow flying straight towards him, if the arrogant boy had spent less time standing around talking, maybe he would have heard Violet stealthy making her way towards him, stopping behind a nearby crate, and then stepping out while firing her shot. She didn't even need to see him with her eyes, as little did Akashi know that he was marked by Violet's semblance. She knew where he was at all times, and the arrow that she had fired was also laced with a paralyzing poison, just for good measure.
Amber slowly made his way around the make shift area, and as he moved towards the general area of the two sparring partners, he was going to get up behind the two a surprise attack the both of them. Suddenly, Akashi's arrows landed around the poor boy with one dangerously close to his position. Worried, he started to move faster, trying to get away from the exploding arrows with his camouflage trying to keep up with the faster pace.
Akashi had narrowly dodged the arrow sailing towards him at high speeds, and that certainly brought him out of his talkative mood. "Fine then," smiling once more before turning serious, "Let's play then."
Akashi then pressed a button on his weapon, and the arrows that he had fired previously exploded all around him, debris and dust quickly filling the area masking everyone's presence.
He soon fired another arrow into Violet's crate, and quickly detonated it without hesitation, Akashi soon started to run, skidding behind a thick support beam. The archer was soon reloading another case of arrows into the Black Eclipse. "Gotta thank them, they really know how to fight."
The explosions proved to be a large distraction that Violet could easily take advantage of, and as the smoke filled the room, Violet quickly moved to find new cover as staying in one place was simply suicide. She then found herself behind yet another crate, just as Akashi destroyed the previous one with another explosion.
As Violet squinted her eyes at the cloudy room, it was impossible to see very far through the cloud of dust, even with her sharp faunus eyes. However, she worried not. If she relied solely on her eyes to find her prey, she wouldn't be a very good predator. The wolf had her ears, her sense of smell, and of course Akashi was still marked with her semblance. She didn't need to physically see him to know where he was. Amber would just be more difficult to locate with his camouflage, and his own faunus senses could prove quite dangerous in the smoke.
For now she couldn't worry about Amber, she needed to focus on the target at hand. In the distance, she could barely make out the support beam, and she could sense Akashi was in that direction. However, with her semblance, she could easily tell that he was just behind a steel beam. She quietly reached behind her back for her sheath of arrows, feeling the arrows until her fingers found the one she wanted. Violet pulled it out, putting it into her bow before raising it and pulling back the string, aiming towards the beam. If Akashi liked explosion so much, he was going to love this! She let go, sending the arrow flying out of the bow, gliding towards the beam, it barely missed as the arrow flew past, or was it not the intended target? The arrow landed just behind the beam, right where Akashi was, and it exploded into a small inferno as the arrow had been laced with fire dust.
Amber heard someone moving quickly, he started to pace himself even further to follow the two. Letting his semblance drop, he used the cover of the dust to hide himself. This is getting crazier and crazier. Let us add some more fun to the mix. He pointed his gun, not at where he thought Violet was, but at the guy blowing up their once nice arena. His ears soon picked up Akashi talking once again. Firing the shot, the bullet hit something causing a harsh gush of wind pushing the smoke away while knocking back/away anything in the area.
Akashi was soon regretting being the center of attention. His actions and words had certainly cut of his work for him. First, it was an explosion that soon turned into an inferno. With that, Akashi’s train of though was derailed and he was shifting his priority to getting to safety, which meant finding a new place to take cover.
Unfortunately for him…or fortunately, (However you want to put it) a strong gust of wind quickly blew away his smoke, and hopefully the raging fire would also have been put out. Luckily, that was the case for Akashi. But somehow, the fire was now on his clothing, burning a large hole into his favorite shirt. “Ah man, not my clothes!” he whined. Despite his cry over his clothes, Akashi Mayhiro failed to realize that Amber’s wind bullet had not only blew the fire, it had blew the smoke away too.
The wind had swept him off his feet, sending him flying into the stone wall once again. Akashi quickly got his mind back into gear. He twisted his body so that his feet were flat on the wall, and as the two came together, he bent his knees, enduring the wind trying to flatten him into the wall.
Once the attack ended, Akashi fell onto the ground with a loud thud, still lightly gripping onto his weapon. While on the floor, he took the opportunity to place his ears the ground to track the two of his two teammates via their footsteps, all while feinting to be unconscious.
“Come on then.” His mind had formulated a plan, but in order to carry it out: Amber and Violet would have to take the first move.
It appeared Akashi was down for the count, at least he wasn't moving at any rate. Was he unconscious? There was no way to be certain, but for now, Violet thought it would be wise to focus on her other opponent, Amber. Amber's weapon was loud when it fired, so when he had started to fire upon Akashi, she knew the general area that he had to be hiding in. Violet silently drew another arrow, this one loaded with another dust type, water. She aimed up at the ceiling and let loose another arrow. The missile flew gracefully into the air, it made a silent thud as it hit the ceiling above the area. The area where Amber had to been standing in the entire time. The dust inside the arrow then went off, the ceiling under Amber quickly become a flood of water that rained down on everything below. And with Amber below, it would be almost impossible without him getting soaked.
Amber smiled at the little show that he made with Akashi. One down and one to go.
He rotated the cylinder on his rifle so the last two shots would line up for the next shots. First up, he had loaded a water round and then a lightning round. Just as he lined them up, Amber was suddenly drenched in water. "Really Violet? If I smelled you could have just told me. Maybe after this, I can get you wet?" Moving another few feet to his left, he hid behind some cover, trying to pin point the location of Violet.
Soon, Akashi could feel the footsteps of his comrade as they made their moves, yet the brown haired hunter opted not to move instantly. Getting up and moving with the cloudy room gone would easily shift the focus back onto him. Right now, he was relying on his hearing skills for the right course of action. His thoughts were right. Not even for a solid minute, the footsteps ceased, and was now replaced by...raindrops? Not that he didn't mine the rain, he zoned out for a bit, listening to the pitter patter of the water created by whoever.
As Amber had started to speak, Violet was indeed somewhere below where her arrow had struck, and the resulting effect had gotten her comrade soaked. The slightest smirk grew on her face, now she didn't need to know where he was, at least not exactly. She readied another arrow, this time, one was laced with lighting dust. She soon aimed at the wet floor, not far from where she'd heard him speaking. Amber had to be hiding somewhere nearby. So, she released it, and the arrow flew straight and true, striking the ground. As it did, the arrow erupted into a spectacular display of light and electricity.
Now as many learn in school, electricity conducts very well in water. Unfortunately, for poor Amber, not only was the floor he was standing in soaked in water, but he was always covered in water. The electricity did as it was expected to do in water, it traveled through the wet floor, and then most likely through Amber. Unless he could move faster than electricity itself, he was in for a shock.
While Amber did move from the center of the puddle, he didn't move quick enough to be out of the water all together. Before he could realize his fatal mistake, a current of electricity flowed though the boy and sent him into a spasming fit. Amber cried out in pain. After the fit, he was laying on the ground breathing heavily with a pissed off look on his face.
"You...are.....so....dead." he managed to wheeze out.
Violet lowered her bow, as far as she was concerned the fight was over. Akashi was down for the count, and the cries of pain she'd heard from Amber confirmed her attack had been a success, she seriously doubted he was in any condition to keep fighting. She put away her weapon and stepped out from her hiding place.
"This fight is over, neither of you are in any condition to fight."
Amber started getting up onto his feet as Violet finished talking. Mustering up his strength, he started making his way over to her her. Keeping himself, hopefully, out of her vision tell he got close and tried to grapple her.
In all honesty, Violet had not been expecting Amber to attempt to grapple her. Violet had mistakenly assumed that Amber would stop fighting once his aura was in the red, and so was taken by surprise when Amber lunched at her. She managed to reach out with her hands as Amber grabbed her, and reached for his face, attempting to push hard against his temples to get him to back off.
Amber smiled with malicious intent as soon as he got a hold of Violet. "Gotcha" Aiming his rifle at the ground he fired the second to last round at the ground causing anything in the area to become wet. A second later he fired the last round in his rifle causing lightning to lash out at nearby things, including giving Amber another painful shock. Amber fell over hard onto the ground completely out like a light.
Violet struggled to get out of Amber's grip, but was little too late. As the electricity went through both their bodies all Violet could do was grit her teeth as the attack ate up her aura. Of course Amber took the hit as well and since he was unable to withstand another electrical shock collapsed on the ground. Violet felt to her knees, panting loudly as she regained control of her body's functions.
"Bloody fool..." Violet spat out angrily, before looking up towards the ceiling. "Well? Are we done here?" She called out, expecting that familiar voice that had no face to respond to her call.
"Indeed. The three of you are meeting expectations. Take the rest of the day off to recuperate and liven up. It is important that you do not develop lasting resentments against one another. Be advised that the final member of Midnight Squad will be joining you shortly."
