The Land of the Fallen. **Open**

[Onyx, Son of Sun]

His punch connecting with Volkmar, his hand suddenly reaches out and grips him, Onyx magnetic powers causing his hand to firmly grasp anything he should choose on Volkmar's being. Catching but a glimpse of the green gas rising from the earth below, he hurls Volkmar skywards and quickly rolls off to the side to avoid the potentially harmful cloud.

Rolling up several feet away from the green gas, Onyx raises his hand, his palm towards Volkmar, and begins to generate a strong magnetic field, the emitted waves pulling his opponent towards him as he aims to catch him and slam him into the ground.

[Volkmar Gamlxltoe]

As Volkmar was in the air, he flipped himself around. He got a glance at the ground, and then he said "Moons, give me stregth... NOXUS!" He stuck out his arms and make moved his arms like a clock. When that was happening, a large ring was forming around the area. When he brought his hands, the ring produced a green wall.
Have fun He thought as he fell towards Onyx's hand and then getting slammed into the ground. He coughed up a little blood, from the impact.

[Onyx, Son of Sun]

The misty green zone created by Volkmar was intimidating, or rather, it would have been if Onyx hadn't already evacuated the area with his earlier roll.

As he drove Volkmar into the earth, he smiled contently as he hopped back several feet from him; happy that his basic maneuvers were working as he had planned. My basic techniques have been going fairly well so far, but it think it is time to try something a little more interesting. Cocking his fist back, the large magnets on his gauntlets fan out as his hand begins to spark with electricity. Pounding his electromagnetically charged hand against the ground, a 20 foot zone around him becomes charged with a positive dipole, the matching magnetic field causing Volkmar to be repelled from the ground, making movement much more difficult.

As Volkmar seemingly hover ever so lightly off the ground, Onyx attempts to pull his opponent towards him with negative waves and hammer him with an uppercut.

[Volkmar Gamlxltoe]

As Volkmar came closer to him, he grinned. He grabbed Onyx's fist, with an unnatural force, and forced it down. "...MY TURN!" He bellowed as he looked at Onyx. His eyes were as black as his sword, keeping a grip on his wrist, he raised the sword and swung it down towards Onyx's shoulder.

[Onyx, Son of Sun]

As the sword came plummeting towards Onyx shoulder, it seemed to slow and eventually stop against some unseen force. Changing his own dipole, Onyx emitted negative waves that repelled Volkmar's sword as it lay but an inch from his shoulder. "My, my. I though this was a friendly sparring match we were having here, but you seem to be out for blood. I assure you, if you want to go all out, then I will gladly return in kind, but you'd best be warned, you'll have to do better then a sword and paltry magic if you want to keep your head. So what shall it be? Can you control that temper, or shall i have to punish you like the child you are?"

His words were stern and unforgiving, and his tone was laden with a sense of mercilessness. As he stood waiting for Volkmar's response, his body began to glow with a faint, orange hue.

[Volkmar Gamlxltoe]

"Oh boy, do you have a lot to learn. We spar until my enemy can not fight anymore." He said, "Great way to build up endurance." He tossed his triangular sword, and pulled out his black sword. "Magnets won't work on this one. Try to play without magnets, or are you too afraid to fight fair?" He raised Onyx's fist and chucked him like a rag doll. His eyes were normal, for now. He then said, "Sacri." A green light covered him and healed him.
"Gravity is a fun ability, we Lunatopians have. You use your magent, and I will have to use my Gravity."

[Onyx, Son of Sun]

As he flew through the air, Onyx effortlessly flipped and landed silently on his feet. Taking no stance, he simply laughed at Volkmar's contradictory retort. "So now you complain that things are not fair? How novel coming from a man who chooses to use magic in a test of strength. My abilities are a part of my fighting style, as I'm sure your abilities are part of yours. Should you boast about some hidden talent, then stop braying about it and use it, or do you plan to beat Xïsa by bragging about how powerful you are?"

[Volkmar Gamlxltoe]

"I wasn't complaining." He said as he suddenly propelled at him at a fast speed. "I just figured you wouldn't shut your trap, and so I would have an opening." He jumped up and then he came down fast, slamming the broadside of the sword, at Onyx. "And I will beat Xïsa the way I want to, not by some traveler's comment."

[Onyx, Son of Sun]

The man possessed an ever expanding list of abilities it seemed, and his sudden burst of speed threw Onyx off guard, allowing for the flat of the blade to slam harshly against his shoulder; the force making him collapse down onto one of his knees lest the force shatter his right shoulder. With a grimace, the warm aura that covered him flared ever so slightly, causing visible flames to spring up for a quick second before Onyx suppressed them.

No. I can't resort to that yet. I have to strengthen my new abilities and give no possible hint as to my identity. Even the slightest thing could hint at who I am, and I can't have people spreading word that I'm still alive, or what i look like. I've been doing well enough so far, I just have to keep pace with this fellow.

With the blade end facing towards his neck, Onyx first had to remove the weapon from its resting place on his shoulder before he could riposte or maneuver away. With a quick and subtle flick of his right hand, he strikes Volkmar' wrist on his sword hand causing his grip to weaken just long enough for Onyx to shift off to the the left while standing and, using his left hand, drive Volkmar's blade downwards with a deft flat-handed strike to the flat of the blade. Safe from any horizontal swings against his legs due to his metal leg covers, Onyx fires a palm-heel strike towards Volkmar's chest with his right hand as it glows from the flicker of electricity.

[Volkmar Gamlxltoe]

When Volk was hit, he felt the shock going though his body. He slid back and looked at him, while he tighten the grip on his sword. He then ran back towards Onyx, with his sword low, but as he came close to Onyx, he raised his sword and aimed of his other arm.

[Onyx, Son of Sun]

Attempting to halt his straight forwards strike, Onyx overlapped his gauntlets and performed an X-block against Volkmars' rising slash. Though successful in catching the blade, the man seemed to possess an unaccounted strength that made direct, halting blocks rather useless, as shown by Onyx being thrown backwards and off-balance by the brutish blow. Quickly regaining his stance, he takes a moment to evaluate what he's learned about his opponent.

Hmm, what the man lack in form he makes up for in strength. The man seems reminiscent of Xisa in terms of his fighting style, and no doubt draws power from the moon's rays in much the same manner. Though I have no manner with which to subvert his innate power, I can easily turn it against him. Time to change tactics to something a bit more subtle.

Changing his posture, his stance appears light and buoyant as opposed to its usual heavy-footed appearance. With a flowing movement of his hands, his arms brim with a whitish hue before he points his index and ring fingers at Volkmar and fires a arching bolt of lightning from his fingertips.

[Volkmar Gamlxltoe]

Volk looked at the hand of lightning came towards him, he quickly said, "Wevli!" The move sent him into the air, making him missing the hand.
Him and his electrical hands... I need to distance myself...
He landed and found some fist size rocks. He tossed his rocks up and then hit them at him.
