*The scene is set on the roof of a skyscraper, in a city whose name has been long forgotten in the light of neon, storm clouds roiling angrily above, lightning flashing turbulently through them. The wind is fierce, yet the rain is still some ways off yet, leaving the entire city reeking in the baste of its humidity.*
*A storm to wash the world clean...*
*Aries stands on the roof of the skyscraper, facing outwards, wearing black pants and a white A-shirt, his glasses perched on his nose, the wind toying with his long bangs. Strapped to both his forearms are his unique weapons, the silver scissor katars that nobody else seems to use. His thumbs absently flick the scissor catch of his blades back and forth, the one blade springing out into three, then back into one.*
*He sighs as a particularily harsh wind rushes past him.*
Aries doesn't have a lot of time, and may be gone for a while. Let's make this one fast and mean.

Ai walks out of a building, nto in his normal clothing. Ai wears a large, brown duster, cover most of his body, and a broad rimmed cowb-boy hat, covering most of his face. Ai looks up, and pulls open his duster, taking out a large hatchet. His long brown, scraggly hair blows with the wind, as dust tries to get into his eyes. He blinks several times, and sighs.
I'm ready.

*Aries smiles, looked over his shoulder briefly.*
You remember what happened the last time, Ai-kins...
*He closes the scissor catches on his blades and crosses his wrists before his chest.*

Oh, I do. That's why I've come prepared.
Ai's left hand goes up into the air, rolling down the sleeve of his duster, revealing an Iron Claw, and a length of chain running down into his coat.

*Aries shakes his head.*
It's not your technique, Ai-kins, believe Aries...
*He looks up as a roll of thunder passes over the building.*
...It's your wonky weapon choices.
*His right foot slips back a little and he stands there, waiting.*
*...Then the first drop of rain plinks into the rooftop.*
*Aries starts turning almost instantly, his fist pushing out, but keeping his blades together. The movement of his arms, however, causes the wrist blaes to scrape against each other, drawing sparks, which somehow collect on the silver of each blade, creating a kind of rippled white sheen.*
*As Aries completes his turn onto his right foot, facing Ai now, the blades are now at tip to tip. He draws them apart and hits the scissor catches, completing the Dragon's Thunder move. The collected sparks expels themselves in a series of directed charged bolts, flying through the humid air in a pair of wide arcs from each blade. The entire result is a wide electrical cannon broadside towards Ai.*

Ai leaps to his right, avoiding the blast of electrical energy, and hurls his Iron Claw at Aries' head, the chain slipping through his hand as it flies at him. Meanwhile, he holsters his axe with his other hand.
And you criticize my weapons?

*Aries ducks his head, the main claw passing over him, then slashes up at the connecting chain with his right blade.*
*The open scissor catch proves a perfect point for the claw to exert centripetal force on, and after a few revolutions, the chain and the claw are wrapped about the open wrist blade. Aries comes back to his full height, crooks his arm, and starts pulling on the chain.*
Of course. These work.
*He starts pulling Ai in towards him.*

Ai resists Aries' pull with his own, as he goes into a steady horse stance, his arm with the claw extended at Aries.
Only as much as one's hands, save the blade. What you can't do with those things, is make a wedge to deliver maximum amounts of damage...unlike my axe!
Ai quickly pulls out his axe, and seemingly punches he forearm. The chain on the Iron Claw shoots towards Aries, not just from his pulling, but it was also forced out. Ai takes a quick dash to his left, and runs as quickly as he can to Aries' side, and takes a swing at him with the axe.

*Aries, caught off balance, rolls backwards to bleed off the kinetic energy, soumersaulting back over himself, the axe slicing the air above him. As he rolls onto his back, he sets his teeth on edge and both of his feet lash out up at Ai's extended arm, intending to knock the axe right out of his hand.*
*At the same time, he closes the scissor catch on his right blade, the triple silver blades still wrapped in the chain and claw. However, the scissor blades themselves slice right through the tempered links of the chain as if they were putty, dismantling most of the weapon and dropping the pieces to the rooftop.*

Ai continues with his motion, simply smirking at the loss of his weapons. His hand which held the axe now travels down to Aries' leg, and grabs a tight hold of his ankle. Ai falls over to his left side, attempting to drag Aries with him.

*Aries, still on his back, can do nothing as Ai pulls him through his fall.*
*Ai lands, yet Aries's legs are simply sviweled on his hips.*
*Aries's eyes narrow as he wonders what kind of good that did, then raises his left foot and arcs the side of his foot in at Ai's hand, still on his right ankle.*

As much as Aries likes to see himself in a heroic position...
Yeah, shutdown.
Bye-byyyyye...
