The Tides of Battle [Angelica]

ngel Surami was beginning to find herself getting incredibly bored and rather impatient as she waited for the true festivities of the Sports festival to begin! She had hung out with her family,her friends Sue,her girlfriend Farrah and her family as well as helped run the cooking club's booth during the early morning,but now her itch for a good challenge was finally getting to the point where she was wanting to look for a fight! Due to this Angel suggested to her aunt and mom that they should go rest and freshen up at their hotel so that they would be ready to watch her compete. Once the family said their farewells Angel took to the sky and began to fly toward the combat practice area of the festival with her trusty 3 in 1 weapon the "Triple P" and began to scan the ground.

"Come on..come on! Give me someone worth fighting!"

Luckily for the young hero in training she would find a suitable opponent quite quickly in one Sean Mizushima who was one of her classmates and had the ability of water manipulation which would be a good test against her own quirk and her weapon's shield mode. Once she spotted him she quickly did a flying nose dive toward the ground in front of him and as she got closer to the ground she curled her body to turn her feet toward the ground and then spread her wings so that she landed in a "superhero landing" pose with her wings causing a large gust of wind around the area which seemed to get the crowd's attention. As she slowly stood straight she grabbed her Triple P from her right side with her left hand and rested it against her left shoulder while in one swift movement flipping the first switch which opened the parasol's dome to complete her flashy entrance. She then grinned at her class mate with a fierce grin.

"Hey Sean! You look like you're craving a fight almost as bad as I am! I'm in both of the fighting tournaments today and could use a good warm up. How about we give the guests to our school a good show? Who knows there might be scouts from pro agencies watching!"

Angel then in another fast and swift move spun her parasol vertically while flipping the first switch once more to close the dome before jumping back a a few feet using both her legs and wings before resting her wings flat against her back as she took her usual rapier swordsman beginning stance with a confident grin.

"What do you say Sean? Wanna make some waves?"

As Angel waited she watched out of the corner of her eye as the crowd seeming increasingly excited began to gather around them but keeping out of the way,some snapping pictures and taking video of the spar that was about to take place.

ngel couldn't help but smile to herself as the group of civilians as well as her sparring partner Sean began to clap and praise her flashy entrance that she had made. It was Angel's personal belief that if people were going to stare at her anyway because of her mutation she was going to give the crowd something positive and entertaining to stare at! Once the applause died down and Angel stood at the ready the young girl watched as Sean pulled out two 1 liter bottles of water and removed the caps from then as he accepted her challenge despite being asked in front of a group of civilians.

"i'll warn you now that I don't plan on holding back!"

Angel without another word and a big grin on her face quickly pressed herself off of her right foot and stretched out her wings straight back to cut down on the wind resistance that when paired with her enhanced speed helped her move like a blur of pink toward her foe as if she was going for a stab attack. As she got close however she used her enhanced strength to press off of her left foot to do a ballerina like leap to jump over her opponent and land behind him where she then attempted to use her Triple P's closed dome to sweep his feet out from under him by using her landing momentum. Once that was done she decided to finish off her opening attack by jumping in place and aiming a spinning right leg kick toward the center of Sean's back to send him flying away from her. Once this was done Angel pointed her Triple P toward her friend and opponent and flipped the second switch on her weapon's handle to make the tip of the hidden rapier pop out of the tip of the parasol.

"Bring it on Sean! Let's see what you can do with that little amount of water!"

As Angel waited for her friend's counter attack she saw out of the corner of her eye as the watching crowd snapped more photos and some even began to take notes of her technique and weapon and even her wings. She also heard little kids in the crowd begin to cheer "You can do it Pretty bird lady!" and while Angel's quirk wasn't avian in nature she didn't have the heart to correct them because honestly it was just nice to be getting positive recognition. Eyes were finally on Angel because of her skill and she wasn't gonna let this chance go to waste.

ngel listened and watched closely as Sean told her that it wasn't the amount of water he had,but what he did with it. She then began to hear the sound of moving water at her feet which caused her to look down at the ground to see that Sean was beginning to use the water to make it slippery in an attempt to keep her from rushing him. He was a clever one that was for sure! Not thinking that he could control the water once it was farther away from him Angel made the mistake of flying up into the air only to be grazed by one of the water bullets and hit in the shoulder by another.

"Ugh! What the hell!?"

Angel quickly looked up to see quite a few bullet looking small amounts of water beginning to rush down at her. In order to counter this since her Triple P's dome could take the force of 100kg she quickly flipped the middle switch on the handle once more to retract the blade and then flipped the first switch once more to cause the dome to open. Angel then much like a ballet dancer began to twirl and spin around in the air while also twirling her parasol in such a manner that she began to deflect and out right block the aquatic attack as if she was performing some kind of water ballet, the spray of the breaking water bullets causing minature rainbows in the air causing the children in the audience to begin cheering loudly as more adults began to film the show.

"Mommy look at all of the pretty colors! Look at the pretty bird lady flying!"

As a young boy pointed and tugged at his mom's pants the mom just smiled softly.

"More like..an angel sweetie."

As Angel put on her show she knew that she could dodge and block her foe's attacks forever and so without warning she suddenly closed her parasol and went straight into a nose dive toward the ground before suddenly opening her wings just in time to curl her body so she landed on her feet where she then used them to propel herself forward using the water coated ground as if she was surfing on it since she knew she couldn't run on it! Angel was nothing if not adaptable! As she got closer to Sean she pulled her Triple P closer to her once more and flipped the second switch to quickly make the tip of the hidden rapier blade pop out of the top of the parasol. She then would attempt to deliver two quick slashes not toward Sean's body or face but to the two water bottles he was using to hold his ammo. She then would retract the blade and spin on the water on one leg to deliver a hard kick to Sean's chest.

"Let's see how you do without ammo!"

ngel's eyes went wide as she heard Sean tell her that the bottles of water were not his only ammo but only containers. This realization meant that this friendly spar was about to get a lot more difficult! This point was soon proven as Sean with no effort what so ever brought the spilled water off of the ground and formed it into what looked to be water ropes. Before Angel had the chance to fly away to gain distance one of the ropes shot at her and attempted to grab onto her wrist by wrapping around her parasol and so even though she didn't want to she let go of her trademark weapon.

"Crap!"

As her weapon was tossed away from her she saw it being flung into the crowd as a young boy who was sitting on his dad's shoulder to watch the fight. As the other two water ropes rushed toward her Angel quickly jumped back in a diagonal stance so that she could flap her left wing down toward the ground to launch two stone feathers toward the ground so that they cut through the two water ropes without risk to the crowd. She then jumped straight up into the air and quickly began to fly in different formations 8 meters high into the air in case Sean tried to pull her out of the sky and so she had time to think of a plan. Once she made a few circles she noticed the young boy waving her parasol in his hands which made her smile. It seemed that in the performance she and her classmate were putting on she was seen as the hero. To make the crowd feel a bit involved in the show Angel flew down above them and began to meet their raised hands for high fives with both hands. She then flew toward the father/son duo where the young boy tossed up her parasol which she caught with her left hand before doing a barrel roll for the crowd and then flying to hover above them pointing down at Sean Dramatically.

"You're evil scheming is over Lord Tsunami! You shall not swallow the land with your mastery of the water! The Angel of Mercy is here to stop you!"

Angel as she gave her dramatic speech which caused all the children in the crowd to cheer she made sure to wink down at Sean so that he knew to play along with the little play she was putting on for the children in the crowd. It was clear by how into the showmanship and the children's reactions that she at this point cared more about entertaining the children and nurtering their perception of those with quirks and heroes then winning the fight. Once Angel let out a hardy laugh she flexed her wings and began to fly in a circle around Sean to try and confuse him and keep him from grabbing her before attempting to trip him up by using the curved handle of her parasol to pull his right foot out from under him during a fly by before landing in front of him and pointing her parasol down at him.

"It is time to give up your evil plan my foe! Admit defeat!"

s Angel listened to Sean begin to get into character as their little performance's bad guy she couldn't help but smirk. She was sure that Sean had already figured this out,but some sparring matches weren't about winning but instead entertainment. The sports festival wasn't just about showing their strength  as the world's next generation of heroes,but also their strength of character. If the civilians thought that they couldn't trust or rely on their heroes then all of their training and hard work would be for nothing. As Sean brought all of his water toward him the sounds of children "ooo's and ahhh's" could be heard as even though Sean was playing the villain his antics and quirk was still unique and cool to the crowd.

 As Sean or "Lord Tsunami" as he and she had dubbed him began to draw all the water that he had spilled onto the ground back to him and quickly formed it into a sick ass cool looking trident which made Angel grin as she once again took her starting sword stance and dug her right foot into the ground as Sean told her to come at him. To this Angel just nodded and pressed off of her right foot and thrusting her wings backward as hard as she could to propel herself to slightly above her top running speed. As she got in close she quickly used her left wing to launch her to the right of Sean before delivering fast and precise stab strikes toward his left arm and waist to try and make him drop his formed weapon so it broke apart. She then would attempt to sweep his feet out from under him using the closed dome of the umbrella before going to deliver a brought swing toward his chest with the same dome though this time she quickly flipped the first switch on her weapon's handle so the dome flung open to propel Sean backward. Angel then rested her opened parasol against her shoulder with a smirk.

"That's the great thing about parasols Lord Tsunami! No matter how bad the downpour they keep me covered!"

Angel then with a smirk closed her parasol and spun it around in her left hand before flipping the second switch causing the inner rapier's blade tip to pop out of the end of her weapon causing her to smirk and cut through the air as she resumed her natural stance. The crowd seemed to actually lean in and the flash of pictures intensify as they sensed that the battle would soon be coming to an end.

t was finally time for the battles last crochendo! Angel just smirked at Sean as he complimented her calling her a capable fighter and an awesome hero and told her that victory was pretty much hers. This filled the young warrior with a warm fuzzy feeling of pride in her abilities to hear such praise come from a hero in training with such a powerful Emitter type quirk. As Sean began to bring his water back to him one last time and form it into two large fists Angel knew she would have no choice but to use her weapon's full setting and so she changed up her stance from a rapier style stance into that of a samurai crouched stance with her left hand on the handle of her weapon.

"You aren't half bad yourself Tsunami! We totally need to do this again when we don't have to worry about collateral damage and can go all out! This has been fun though! Let's give them a finisher these fine people won't forget!"

As Sean used his control over the water to transform the large aqua fists into minature dragons Angel couldn't help but grin from ear to ear! Now that was a show stopper! Sadly for Sean Angel had a plan in place for such a move though it was nice to hear the crowd clapping for Sean this time around! As Sean finally sent the two dragons rushing for her Angel braced herself before breaking into a top speed run while making sure to stay in her low samurai style stance. As she got close to the dragons Angel flipped the third switch on her parasol's handle and then used her left hand to begin to pull the handle from the dome to reveal the long rapier blade undernieth. As she did this she used the strength in her legs to vault over the dragons and use her out stretched arm to decapitate both aqua dragons in one swift strike. As she landed facing Sean she pressed off of the tips of her feet to launch herself forward with her arm held out so that when she stopped herself the tip of the rapier was close to Sean's throat.

"Checkmate Lord Tsunami! I'm afraid you lose! Do you surrender to the forces of good!?"
