A Hero Tale {Complete}

Oz made no effort to dodge, rather he knelt down. He put his left hand up and projected a shield before him. With his other hand he conjured a rod of energy and drove it into ceiling. More or less he dug in and the wind blasted into him while he held his ground. Oz let the shield drop as he pulled the rod free and started advancing again. The rod grew in size, becoming a full fledged staff in his two hands. The man was smiling now.

"Come on, Jeff. You can give me more than that! You think Rajaka will be defeated by being blown over by wind? You need to go through him, not just push him! Think bigger!" Oz said. He ran straight at Jeff, making no deviations in his path. His staff was at the ready. There was something odd about the staff, it seemed to be in flux toward the middle and that may have been by design. Oz swung the staff in a wide arc at Jeff before spinning it around his shoulders. With his current stance he was ready to hit Jeff if he tried to dash over or around him.

Oz released the vortex and raised his arm towards the sentry to project another shield. The bullets hit like rain droplets on still water, rippling but causing no serious effect. He raised his other hand up and twisted it through the air. "Again, sorry for this Luke." Oz politely apologized in advance.

It was like the world became upside down, the normal amount of gravity that held them in place by the world was reversed in a space around him. He dropped the shield he was using for the sentry as he flipped through the air and landed on the ceiling. Upon landing, he rushed at Jeff, swinging a nasty right hook at his mid-section as he advanced.

Oz ducked under the first blade able to see it coming clearly, the second two were a bit more of a challenge. Jeff was clearly a faster opponent but he wasn't using anything with enough potency to cause real damage. With his free hand he projected a shield in front of himself that splashed the wind out to either side as it connected. He allowed the projected shield to drop as he brought his free hand down to the developed sphere of energy. "Luke, you might want to brace yourself." He warned. It was a clear warning to Jeff if he was fast enough on the uptake but this would regardless affect him. After all, he was going to be close to the middle of it.

"Vortex."

Oz chanted. The orb burst in his hands as the energy spread around Jeff's direct area and drew him toward the floor at his feet. Even the air in the large area was unsettled, drawing the unnoticed particles back to Jeff. The spinning force would pummel him as it slammed him toward the ground. It would either suppress him or he would need a way to overcome it, some technique - at least until Oz dropped the vortex.

Oz extended his front hand toward the ground, projecting a pulse of force directly at the wave in front of him and splaying it to his sides. He then raised the front hand directly toward Jeff and started charging something in the hand that he held behind him, away from any potential disruption. A sphere of energy began developing in the hidden hand. "Give me everything you've got. I can take it." Oz invited.

The force pulses ruptured against the wind bullets with a pair of small bangs eliminating both sets of projectiles. "You are indeed quite fast and accurate with that kind of response. How long can you keep it up?" Oz goaded. He turned quickly to Jeff as he was landing and launched another one-two force pulse combo at him.

Given the sign, Oz launched two force pulses from his hands at Jeff like a one-two punch combo aimed to hit him center mass. They were equivalent in power to an enhanced punch but were Oz's main tactic at probing his enemies' reactions.

Oz took his position and raised his stance. One foot forward, one back. One hand raised in front, one held back at his side. Without waiting for any further queue he shielded himself with energy raised just over the skin. He was ready.

Oz gave him a textbook styled answer. "Initiative is the ability to act quickly and often times first."

Oz rubbed at his chin. He didn't immediately answer like Jenso. "Discerning and taking advantage of their weaknesses. Assuming we're talking about a real threat you can't just throw anything at them."

Oz strolled in and yawned contagiously. He stretched his arms and back before finally announcing himself. "I'm here, let's do this."
