METAL SABRE BATTLES KVELD

Note: This battle took place while trying to apprehend the criminal, Kveld.

Metal_Sabre says [to Kveld] : So tell me, Kveld, am I going to take you to your cell peacefully, or not?
Kveld says [to Metal_Sabre] : Your body will be strung from various pikes along the road if you attempt to take me anywhere.
Metal_Sabre says [to Kveld] : I assume that is a no...?
Kveld says [to Metal_Sabre] : And here I had you pegged as a dumb brute. Yes, that is a no.
Metal_Sabre says [to Kveld] : I am sorry to hear that.
Metal_Sabre makes his way toward Kveld, a strange nonchalance to his manner, given the situation. He calmly lifts his right arm, his hand reaching to firmly grasp Kveld upon his right shoulder.
Kveld takes a step back, his left hand instinctively easing beneath the flap of his trench coat. With a fluid swing of his arm, he whips his blade into sight, bending his wrist to point the tip of his katana towards the knight's chest, "That's far enough, Metal."
Metal_Sabre lets out a small smile, in spite of himself. As respectable of a man as the Azure Knight tries to be, he still falls victim to the thrill of battle, if only just a bit. His outstretched arm springs to life, swinging at the blade with lightning speed, with Metal_Sabre's forearm plate at the helm. Meanwhile, the Knight's left arm shoots forward with amazing speed, the fist looming towards Kveld's right temple.
Metal_Sabre says [to Kveld] : A katana? Not my first choice, but at least it looks like you keep it in decent condition...
Kveld allows Metal_Sabre's bracer to knock his sword to the side, his left hand holding firmly to the hilt in order to keep it in his grasp, while his main focus goes to his right hand, a smaller version of his sword drawn from his belt, the tanto dagger swinging in an upward slash, threatening to sever Metal_Sabre's fist from his arm, lest he avoid the attack, and in doing so avoid punching Kveld.
Metal_Sabre makes no hesitation in his movements, his body like a tidal wave, attempting to drown Kveld. The Knight twists his arm, so that his shining, azure armor protects him from the tanto dagger. The turned fist misses, sailing past Kveld's right ear, but Metal_Sabre quickly cups his hand, hoping to grasp his opponent by the back of the neck. His muscles tense in his left leg, ready to ram knee first into Kveld's stomach, as soon as Metal_Sabre feels he has a firm grasp on the back of Kveld's neck.
Kveld allows the knight to come so near to him, not attempting to escape the close quarters. Only once Metal Sabre is close enough to have a hand wrapped behind his head does Kveld react. Spinning his sword in his palm, he pulls it straight up, the tip of the blade facing the ground but rising fast, and directly between the two, and with the limited space he is attempting to cut through the the knights armor and spill his intestines. Having still his dagger in his right hand, Kveld swings this in as well, jabbing at Metal Sabre's waistline and the break in his armor, attempting to hit an organ here as well, if his sword does not strike a blow.
Metal_Sabre watches Kveld's blades move with great accuracy. Hoping his armor holds up against his opponent's katana, Metal_Sabre continues to swing his left leg up as he had initially intended. Though instead of aiming for Kveld's abdomen, he sends it sailing towards the dagger, attempting to block the blow with his plated knee, and, if the blow is stronger than Kveld's grip, knock the blade out of the man's hand. Metal_Sabre's eye flinches as the katana clashes with his azure armor, though the armor stands strong.
Kveld doesn't attempt to keep hold of the dagger, instead he lets it fly through the crowd with Metal_Sabre's added force. Continuing in one fluid motion, he does not stop in his slash, continuing the sword upward, drawing its sharpened edge against his armor, the weapon headed for the Knight's unprotected head.
Metal_Sabre jerks his head to the side, but the blade still manages to slice into the side of his face, from his jaw line to his cheek bone. The Knight ignores the pain, knowing he has only a moment to strike back. With Kveld's now empty hand still recoiling from the blow by Metal_Sabre's knee, and his other arm outstretched from the attack with the katana, Kveld is in what seems like a very vulnerable position. As his left foot plants itself back into the ground, Metal_Sabre pulls with his left arm, which still remained poised to cup the back of Kveld's neck. As his left arm attempts to pull Kveld close, the Knight's right arm draws back, preparing to deliver a crushing forearm into Kveld's nose.
Kveld notices only one thing in his line of sight, and that is the metallic bracer coming towards his face. Not having the time or position to attempt to deflect the attack, Kveld simply bends down slightly, then thrusts forward with his legs, propelling him into the air in a meager jump. Metal Sabre's blow still lands, just instead of breaking Kveld's nose, it crushes into his stomach, knocking the air from his lungs. Kveld's form is now slightly above Metal_Sabre, and is about to come down rather quickly, more than likely he is going to take Metal Sabre down with him as he falls. All that Kveld can do in this position is swing his sword forward, so that if he does manage to collide with the knight, his blade will be able to inflict some damage.
Metal_Sabre rolls to his back as Kveld descends. He lifts his left arm, preparing his bracer to block the blow from the katana. At the same time, Metal_Sabre's right hand shoots forward towards his winded opponent, attempting to do further damage to Kveld, as his knuckles threaten to hammer the man in the exact same spot his forearm had moments ago.
Kveld can do nothing to stop his flight, unable to adjust his position in mid-air. Taking the blow to the gut, Kveld is thrown aside by the appendage, tumbling across the road as he does so. Taking a moment to rise, Kveld dusts himself off, no worse for wear besides the bruise on his stomach. Lifting his sword in a defensive manner, he says, "We could fight all day, knight, and get no where."
Metal_Sabre says [to Kveld] : If that is what you truly believe. But does that mean that you have finally decided to come peacefully, then?
Kveld says [to Metal_Sabre] : No.
Metal_Sabre says [to Kveld] : Again, I am sorry to hear that...
Kveld says [to Metal_Sabre] : Duel me for the right. If you win, you can take me in peacefully. If I win, you leave the Knights for good, never to return to their banner.
Metal_Sabre says [to Kveld] : I am afraid not, Kveld...
Metal_Sabre rushes toward Kveld again, ducking down low as he enters melee range with the man. The Knight flicks his left arm out attempting to throw a quick jab towards the section of Kveld's chest that he has obviously begun targeting.
Kveld swings his sword in with both hands, the flat of the blade knocking Metal Sabre's arm away, glancing off his shoulder with little affect to Kveld. Taking a few steps back, Kveld heads for the treeline. "Think about my offer, Knight."
Kveld leaves west.
