Percy Jacson: The Frozen Fortress

"I was hoping you'd just continue fighting with that sword of yours," Michael said as he slipped the punch and sent one strong punch to the ribs and another to the face, boxing style. He then backed up and raised his fists to show he was ready to fight regardless. He smirked.

"I had a reference to make if you did, but oh well, guess I'll have to use it against someone else another time!"

Now that I've been experimenting with both of the Iswarms in recent decks, I was wondering if after the duel with Matt (if we ever finish it at least) I could restructure my current deck and alter a few of the custom cards. Empire, would you allow this?

"AH!"

Both of Charlie's attacks had connected, causing blood to trickle down Michael's nose and pain to begin rising within his stomach. Michael, like Charlie, didn't stop, but instead retaliated with an upwards angle to his jaw. It was an easy strike to land given their close proximity, and after the blow connected, Michael turned his body and elbow sharply to move Charlie around and push away from him. He was now behind him, but currently had no weapon to attack him with....

"That's one weird way to have kids, but hey, at least it's not as weird as some of the other ways gods have children."

Michael shrugged and then braced himself for Charlie's new wave of attacks. He sensed a change in the demititan's concentration, it was heightened on a superior level. Michael recognized such a thing as an opponent's way to have a better chance of anticipating his moves. He smiled. Now this was becoming interesting! He focused himself as well, not about to let Charlie have the upperhand in any way, and his combatand sensory aabilities rose to match his foe's.

"Bring it!"

The demititan's fake managed to work and Michael blocked high with his staff by moving its top to the side. The low attack however, failed as Michael quickly jumped upwards and brought his knees closer to his chest, avoiding it. He came back down with a crushing side elbow strike, striking him right in the middle of the eyes. Pushing himself off, Michael delivered two powerful strikes with the crocodilian head; one to the solar plexus, and the other to the same place he struck before with his elbow.

Michael chuckled as he constantly changed the position of his hands on his staff, causing the ends to switch from side to side as well. As the host of the military god, Michael had been learning Charlie's manner of combat, something which also went hand in hand with the nature of crocodiles watching their prey daily to learn their habits and routines.

"Kronos huh? Wasn't he atomized years ago by those other halfbloods? Or did he just have children when he was here on earth?"

He waited for Charlie to make a move. Michael knew what he was doing, and that was simply waiting for him to attack to preform a counterattack. Unless Charlie attacked, he wouldn't do anything but hold his ground.

Still no response from Matt, guys...

On another note though, I've been checking out how well I can work with both Steelswarms and Evilswarms, as well as with their support cards. I've actually managed with them quite well, though I still can't seem to activate Evilswarm Kerykeion's effect on the app for YGOPro...

Charlie cursed as the Egyptian managed to block his kick to the boy's face with his staff, and when he landed on the ground, he left his back completely exposed. Michael got a good hit on his back and Charlie gave a grunt of pain. normally the child of any other titan would have been open for another attack but not the children of Atlas, they learned from the start of their training to take a lot of pain and had the incredible endurance to back up their great strength. the second he was on the back, Charlie spun his body on the floor to swing out with his sword, blocking the Egyptian's attack that would have hit him in the ribs. he then kicked hard out with his foot and caused Michael to fall onto the floor. Charlie then quickly rose to his feet and jumped at him, bringing his blade blade with him and used his fall as a way of putting power behind overhead slash. if the Egyptian didn't block this attack then Charlie's blade would cut into the boy's chest and there would be blood everywhere.

Blunt pain went through Michael's body as his body hit the floor, but when Charlie began coming at him with a powerful downwards slash, he quickly rolled to the left. Now on Charlie's right and still on his back, Michael thrust out with his staff, putting an extra sharp twist in it for extra snap and power right before the end connected with the demititan's temple. Afterwards, Michael brought back the staff and thrust it outwards in the same manner, just this time towards Charlie's wrist. He then rolled backwards away from the demititan and stood up, now in fromt of him, and brandished his weapon to show he was still ready to fight.

"Impressive you've been able to hold out for this long, especially against me, the host of Sobek. Any other human or halfling, any other creature, would have been out and probably dead by now."

The sudden leap after his strike to Charlie's leg was impressive. Usually somebody would try and let the pain of a charlie horse causing strike die down before trying anything like that, but not this guy. Regardless, it was a bad move on the demititan's part, because all Michael did was simply shoot his staff outwards with both hands palms open so his feet wouldn't injure his fingers. The dual air kick struck against the staff, but one of the legs managed to slip off of the shaft and strike him in the chest. Michael groaned, but as Charlie fell he did an overhead strike with his staff, catching the demititan square in the back with the steely mouth of the crocodile's head. He then swung his staff as if he were swinging a golf clun, aiming the strike towards Charlie's ribs...

The slash had come quick, giving Michael barely enough time to react. Though he did a short slide backwards, the slash still grazed him and formed a long but shallow cut along his chest. It stung, but was negligible damage.

"Hmph," was all Michael uttered as he used his staff to keep Charlie's swinging momentum going to the side. It managed to turn him around, but instead of thrusting the end of his staff towards his head as usual, he performed a strong, diagonal strike to Charlie's leg, specifically the area known for being the site of "charlie horsing". That should slow the demititan down, and Michael then twisted his staff around his head to strike at the side of his opponent's head.

Michael grunted in pain as the kick connected with his chest. Charlie's attack had also unbalanced him, causing him to shuffle backwards in an attempt to regain his proper footing. That's when he saw the demititan heading right at him with an obviously lethal blow, so rather than stay standing, he let himself fall to the ground. Michael's fall wasn't uncontrolled though, so it didn't hurt him.

"Right where I want him," Michael thought as he used pushed his right leg against his foe's left. Using his other leg, Michael hooked it behind Charlie's left and harshly moved them in opposite directions. A sweep, and one which worked well and sent the demititan falling forward since most of his power was still going forward from his attack. Michael quickly rolled out of the way and jumped up beside his opponent. Unless Charlie did something quick like roll forward, Michael would follow up with a strong thrust with the end of his staff towards one of his kidneys....
