Tora tapped her feet gently against the ground, tiger tail swishing back and forth in anticipation. It'd been awhile since she'd last fought someone for fun, and she was looking forward to this.
"Can't wait to see my opponent." She said to herself, brushing a strand of orange hair behind her pointed ears.

Sythiuss treaded forth into the battle area with a cold, calculating demeanor, his chitinous claws curled into gnarled fists, his dark armour illuminated by its own crimson lights, giving him quite a threatening appearance.. He began sizing up his opponent immediately, scanning her up and down first by scent, then by the vibration of her feet tapping, then, finally, he turned his head sideways and allowed a burning yellow eye physically observe his opponent.
She seemed excited, to say the least, from the patterns of the foot tapping and tail movement. She did not seem like much, but he knew better than to underestimate his opponent. Perhaps she thought this was going to be a joyful experience. Sythiuss almost felt remorse, the way he was going to fight was certainly not going to be fun, but perhaps the thrill of battle, his bloodlust, was the equivalent of her sense of fun, albeit a more twisted, darker type of the feeling.
Despite all of this, he remained stoic, turning his head foward to face her, and simply standing up straight and at full height. This being his first time doing this sort of thing, he was unsure what the first action should be. He simply waited for something to happen, not readying his weapons quite yet...but at the first sign of action, he would certainly be prepared.

"You're a big one aren't ya? And you seem full of yourself by the looks of it." Tora grinned. "This should be fun, oh so much fun."
Without any other warning she darted forward, running straight for Sythiuss. She was bare handed, no weapon to speak of, but she wasn't intimidated by the armor at all. She zigzagged, knowing very well that she would be an easy target if she ran straight forward.
Just as she neared Sythiuss, she made a feint for his left, then swung her leg around to his right.

He did not answer her, nor did she give him time to. He 'watched' her movement, though nearly blind, he did not attempt to see her, but instead anticipating her vibration and as she set the kick into motion, he leapt very high into the air, two curved blades of crimson energy sprouting from his wrists. He quickly came down on her, attempting to do a full horizontal slash with both blades going in opposite directions. An attack that he hoped would at least put her somewhat on the defensive even if he missed.
He felt the thrill of the battle begin to take hold...now was a time to truly test his skills.

Tora smirked and moved out of the way, but she wouldn't go on the defensive. As soon as Sythiuss' feet touched the ground, a fireball came flying towards him.
Tora knew that would atleast distract him a moment, and took the time to think up a plan. She didn't want to reveal all her abilities just yet.

Sythiuss was somewhat surprised to see a fireball coming towards him, but he decided to continue his course of action. His blades hissed through the air and sliced into the fireball, causing it to dissipate around him, though he could feel the powerful wave of heat splash against him. So, it seemed these creatures wielded at sort of magick.
"Interesting..." he hissed to himself while raising his left hand. The strange energy scythe withdrew, and a low hum followed by a whirring noise and another red glow. Quickly, three small crimson orbs were fired from the same tube that the energy scythe resided in, of course, aiming for his opponent. She certainly was preparing for another assault to follow up on his failed attack, and had no intentions of giving her the time to create any sort of plan.

Tora swiped her arm through the air. Flames rushed forward from the path of her arm and right to the crimson orbs, making them explode halfway to the destination. She twirled around almost as if dancing, then dashed towards Sythiuss, moving faster than the first time. She ran straight towards him, then jumped up and over him, landing at his back. She turned and kicked her leg out, hoping to land the base of his foot on his back.

Sythiuss, unfortunately, was unprepared for her attack. Tora landed her kick directly on his back, causing him to grunt and slide foward, though quickly regained his balance. He quickly brought forth his other scythe while retracting his right hand scythe, and using the momentum from the impact of the kick, carved into the ground, turning himself around and launching himself with an almost excessive amount of speed. He pulled his arm back and launched a mighty blow, the display of strength itself caused visible shockwaves to be formed in the air, and as the fist flew towards his opponent, hoping to crush her bones, or at least send her reeling back. Despite her powers, he would not allow himself to be toyed around with by any being...

Tora braced herself, arms crossed over each other to take the blow of the attack. Had it been a normal Kilate, it would have shattered her seemingly fragile limbs, but she was no ordinary Kilate. She was sent flying back, but that worked to her advantage. She placed her palm flat to the ground and sprung back to her feet with cat-like grace. She then charged forward, grace turning into power and speed, turning into...
A tiger now raced towards Sythiuss, muscles rippling through her fur. She lowered her head and ran straight into Sythiuss.

Sythiuss once again was pleasantly surprised, first magick, now, lycanthropy. He dug his clawed feet in for the impact, knowing that she was going far to fast for an effective dodging manuver, and allowed her head to slam against the metal plating of his armour. Despite the hardness of the material, and the thickness of his carapace, he felt the impact jolt through his entire body. He was pushed back rapidly, his feet leaving long trails of deep scars in the ground.
But now it was his turn to surprise her.
He dug his clawed hands into her neck, making sure that she was at least going to bleed from this. He hurled her by using her own speed against her, letting his considerable strength and her momentum to attempt to send her spiraling into the ground. No matter what the effect, he felt satisfaction as he felt his claws tear into her flesh, and her warm blood run over his fingers as he released her from his grip. He lowered his stance and got closer to the ground, with one bloody, clawed hand on the ground, the other, scythe extended, poised ready to strike, making him look very much like a scorpion of sorts. He was sick of her tricks, was more than ready to kill, and if one bothered to pay attention, he was visibly annoyed.

Tora roared in pain as the claws dug into her, unfortunetly for Sythiuss she wasn't just going to play along. The instant he let go of her, she was gone, nowhere insight. The next instant she was back to her normal form, blood dripping from her neck, and above him. Her foot became surrounded by flames, and it was aimed straight for the top of his head. Her right hand was ready in case he attacked her, ready to create a shield the instant he went for her.

Sythiuss glanced upwards and decided that offense seemed to be the best defence available. He quickly jabbed his scythe-bearing hand upwards, the crimson energy crackling and sparking violently as it tore through the air.

Tora's hand moved quickly downward, creating a shielf of fire to protect her from the attack. She landed on the ground and then quickly jumped up to attack Sythiuss, sending a fireball like the one earlier straight for him.

He burst forth towards the fireball, both scythes activated, and slashed through it as before. He began to assault his opponent with extremely powerful and skillful slashes that sung through the air as he approached her. He moved with a fluidness that seemed impossible for a creature that looked so cumbersome. He pressed his attack with such a ferocity that avoiding it would be no easy task, he was in a state of total focus, and seemed to have forgotten about any of his surroundings. There was only this woman. And there could only be her defeat.

Tora dodged each attack swiftly, moving just enough to avoid one, then the next. She too was focused, feet moving gracefully until...
Until her heel hit her toes, causing her to stumble and have to move faster to get out of the way, the scythe slicing through her shirt. She hissed as the blood trickled out of the stinging wound near the top of her chest, almost her neck. It was a small wound, but she'd been hit nonetheless. She couldn't stop though, she had to keep dodging.
I'm done playing. She thought, jumping back as far as her feet would propel her, almost to the wall of the large arena. She then charged forward, sending another fireball towards Sythiuss. She had a plan this time.
