Xander says [to Metal_Sabre] : Well since you have the more respectable title You go first.
Metal_Sabre says [to Xander] : Very well.
Xander smiles at Metal_sabre and gets ready.
Metal_Sabre looks at the young, medium-heighth, pointy eared, muscular, mocha brown-skinned, ocean blue-eyed, very attractive, loveable, long, glittery silver tipped black hair, halo hovering over head, thick-armed, thick-legged, male human who calls himself Xander.
Metal_Sabre draws his sword with his right hand, pulling it back and raising his left hand forward. He assumes a loose fighting stance, circling around Xander a bit, keeping his distance. He edges his way towards Xander, looking for an opening. The Knight suddenly jabs his sword forward with surprising speed, sending the point of his weapon towards the left arm of Xander. Though the strike is fast and well aimed, Metal_Sabre does not put much strength into it, merely using it as a way of feeling out Xander.
Xander takes a defensive stance with his right foot on top of his left knee and right hand out in front him and his left hand in the air. He is astonished by the speed that Metal_Sabre has but is disappointed that he is holding back. As a result Xander is used to people lunging swords at him. He puts his right foot down and takes a quick step aside, but still gets nicked on the arm. "Ack, wasn't quick enough." He ignores the pain from the small cut and moves in close to Metal-Sabre's mid section and throw a solid punch at Metal_Sabre's kidneys.
Metal_Sabre lets out a sharp, "whoa!" as he has not fought an opponent quite this quick and precise in a while. Keeping his wits about him, Metal_Sabre pivots his right foot counter-clockwise with the grace of a dancer, distancing himself from the attack. Keeping with the strategy of a quick assault, Metal_Sabre gives his sword a quick horizontal swing from his right to his left, tilting the blade enough so that the flat of it looms toward the left side of Xander's head.
Xander makes a little yelp as he ducks just missing being knocked out by Metal_sabre's blunt blow from hit sword. Xander then moves his upper body to the right of Metal_Sabre's body and goes for an uppercut at Metal_sabre's chin.
Metal_Sabre attempts to lean his upper body back, and turns his head, but the fierce uppercut still manages to hit the side of Metal_Sabre's jaw. Metal_Sabre feels the aching pain in his right ear from the blow, but quickly goes back on the attack, attempting to catch Xander while he remains open from his uppercut. Metal_Sabre swings his left knee upward, towards Xander's torso.
Xander quietly cheers to himself but also forgot that he was open for an attack. He bend over in pain as almost losing all his wind as he gets hit from Metal_sabre's knee. He quickly regains his breath and then drops on the ground at the same time going for a leg trip.
Metal_Sabre feels Xander's leg hit the back of his knees, and Metal_Sabre plummets to the ground. Landing on his back, Metal_Sabre quickly rolls with the momentum, performing a backward roll up to one knee, so as not to be caught lying down on his back. He lunges forward, giving his sword a diagonal swing, from the lower right of Xander to his upper left, aiming to create a somewhat deep flesh wound on the man's chest.
Xander scurries to knees as he sees Metals_Sabre get his footing. He quickly does spell. " Oh-Glendra-give-me-power-to-defend-myself-so-I-can-retain-thy-foundation. Xander's upper arm turns to stone. He puts the arm up just in time for the sword to strkie the stone arm as the sword makes a spark upon impact. At that moment Xander rolls forward at Metal_sabre's direction and throws a staright punch at M.S's chest using the Stone arm.
Metal_Sabre quickly takes to the air, leaping over the stone arm and Xander. He begins the motions for a somersault for when he lands, but swings out his left foot, attempting to rattle Xander a bit with a shot to the head from the side of the Knight's boot.
Xander grins as he sees the Knight perform a very acrobatic move. He dispell his spell and makes his arm go back to normal. He then mimcks the Knights flip do a somersault landing in front of attack but quicky spins to Metal_Sabre's back cause the blow to miss and then following up with a jump front crescent to the back of the head."Hiyaaaaaaa!"
Metal_Sabre can hear Xander's kick cut through the wind like a knife, but only manages to move his head enough in time to stop the attack from being a knock out shot. The kick still connects a bit, and Metal_Sabre reels. Thankfully, the Knight's head is fairly hard, and he manages to keep his senses about him. He spins clockwise as the kick knocks his body forward a bit, and swings his sword from his left to his right, aiming for Xander's calf muscle on his attacking leg.
Xander cheers again to himself for getting some kind of action on that kick. But Xander lands with his back facing Metal_Sabre. He knows that the Knight will use this opputunity to atttack and does a high back somersault landing behind Metal_Sabre. He laughs to himself and goes in to tickle the Knight."Is the big strong Knight ticklish?"
Metal_Sabre says [to Xander] : *squirming away from Xander, laughing slightly* Aw, come on! You resort to tickling?
Xander says [to Metal_Sabre] : Naw it's just my way of saying that I am done and it is was a good match. You are very good. But I still say that you should have made me a knight if not a Priest of Karchan.
Metal_Sabre says [to Xander] : A good match, indeed. Definetely what I have been needing.
