Re: Seaside Fight Night: Mizu vs Rafaela

RAFAELA LEONE | REICHSRITTER
After everything that had happened, some of the First Reichsritter's boundless confidence had been shaken. She hadn't been able to protect her Emperor, or the people in this city she'd spent so much time in. Rafaela had made her entire reputation one of a proud warrior, someone that anyone could look to as inspiration, but she'd be lying if she said she felt inspirational right about now.
Well, that didn't matter. She had an image to maintain, and she wasn't ever going to let that slip. She stepped into the Arena of Lights with a wide grin on her face, and as she sized up her opponent, she spoke out loud, turning to face the crowd.
"Finally, the First of the Reichsritter has come back to the City of Lights!"
Waving to everyone as she got some cheers, if only because people found her confidence entertaining, she turned back to her opponent and pointed dramatically toward Mizu, her grin still wide.
"Listen up, shinigami! I'm sure you know plenty about fighting hollows, but there's nothing hollow about my reputation! If you think you're ready to fight Rafaela Leone, the brightest warrior in the Holy Roman Emperor's service, then come and try it! The toughest, the fastest, and the most impressive of all the Free Imperial Knights is ready to send you back to Soul Society on a stretcher!"
Even when she was feeling a bit down on herself, Rafaela still knew how to keep up the intensity, at least. Hopefully that got some energy going here in the ring.

Hey, that wasn't a bad little retort there. It sure could've used a little more energy behind it, more confidence, but the spirit was there, at least. Rafaela's grin only widened as Mizu approached, and she drew her sword from its sheath in a flash, her signature purple energy crackling over it like lightning. She could have gone all out right from the get go, but that wouldn't be very sporting of her. Instead, she met the shinigami's sword directly, clashing with it and using that meeting of blades to test the other woman's strength.
"Pretty bold of you, I'll admit! It takes a lot of guts to say you'll so easily handle Rafaela of the Violent Lightning, savior of Italy and hero of the Fourth World War!"
Not that she really felt that way about how things had gone, if she thought about it. After all, look at Italy now. She hadn't been able to do much of anything for it, but that was how things were. Her attention was squarely on this bout, in the here and now, and she stepped back just enough to hopefully throw Mizu off balance as the pressure of her blade lessened, following it up with a wide arcing horizontal slash. Thankfully, her sword was perfect for fights like this. A dull wooden blade, coated in spiritual silver and gold, wasn't going to cut anyone unless she wanted it to.
Of course, that didn't make it any less of a dangerous blunt weapon.

Armor, eh? That was pretty neat, and Rafaela raised her heavy sword once again as she studied her opponent briefly. She'd definitely need to pick things up a little more. Even that one exchange was enough to tell her she wasn't facing a total novice, and hearing her rank was enough to make that much even more apparent.
"5th Seat? That's pretty impressive! I'll be glad to say I was able to take down someone with that much prestige!"
While Rafaela always maintained her intense bravado, it was never something that she did for her own sake. It was something she did to lift the spirits of others, and it was only natural for her to boast in a way that would focus on her opponent's strength. With a mighty shout, she took a quick step forward, the elegant imperial uniform she wore suddenly seeming to glow brightly as she filled it with her own energy, hardening it to create impromptu armor of her own.
Once she'd gotten closer, her blade swung upward in a wide arc, her burning energy flying out of the sword as she did so. Contrary to its appearance, however, it didn't form into a lightning bolt, but simply launched forward more akin to a cero. Rafaela's attacks were not complex, and elemental power wasn't something she knew anything about. A simple and straightforward power, for a simple and straightforward woman.

Even if her foe didn't seem too sure of herself most of the time, Rafaela could certainly see the fire buried in there somewhere. She felt obligated to draw it out, and the diminutive woman's cocky grin only grew further as she watched her attack be negated. Not bad at all. She took a quick step to change direction, though she'd be lying if she said it was her best. Slamming her foot into the floor, hard enough to send up rubble, Rafaela quickly grabbed one of the largest pieces of stonework and infused her energy into it, hardening it and making it glow with that same brilliant violet energy.
Then, with all her strength, Rafaela hurled the stone directly toward the incoming Hadō. Even if it certainly wouldn't be enough to actually stop the attack, it was enough to give her a window to step away, though she noted her uniform didn't quite make it out without a scorch. That was a shame, but no time to think about it. Keeping her distance wasn't going to work, she'd definitely lose if she kept that up, so she took another step forward, muscles tensed as she shot directly toward Mizu at her fastest.
She didn't really expect that to be enough to catch the shinigami entirely by surprise, but she was hoping her speed and strength would be enough to make that not matter too much.

Oh, this was definitely bad. It was one thing to deal with kido directly, but it was much harder to deal with projectiles in this number, especially from a trained shinigami. Taking in another sharp breath, Rafaela stabbed her blade into the ground, tearing up more of the floor and grinding heself to a sudden halt. She then pulled the blade upward with all her might, stones and brilliant violet energy flying up in a veritable geyser to meet the kido Mizu had cast.
That wasn't enough to stop the flaming stones, but Rafaela could handle that. So much of her energy being thrown up into the air, even temporarily, had to be enough to keep the stones from finding her specifically. In that brief moment of cover, Rafaela brought herself lower to the ground, shooting out through the huge cloud of debris like a brilliant purple bullet as she shot another beam of purple energy toward her shinigami opponent.
She was definitely running out of steam, but she wasn't going to let that show. That just wasn't Rafaela's way of doing things.
