Samus had said that fighting was fighting, no matter how stupid it looked. But this get-up even beat the Federation bridge outfits in terms of stupid. Not to mention the bat wouldn't have been her first choice of weapon. She was far better at shooting or hand-to-hand, and the closest thing to a melee weapon she'd ever practiced with were the staffs the Chozo used early in her training, before moving her on to firearms.

She examined the bat as she stepped into the ring, then cast a glance in the direction of the man who was apparently behind this farce. "Hey, ref! Do the rules so we have to use these thingies?" She held up the bat to show what she meant. She knew even if her opponent chose to hold on to her own weapon, she'd probably stand a better chance using her speed and agility to snatch the balls away by hand.

"Well, yeah, without it, it wouldn't be Struggle!" Axel grinned, clearly too amused by what was happening.

Erutis Versus Samus! someday_hunter April 28 2010, 21:18:31 UTC

Well, sucked to be her. But just because she had to use the bat-thingie didn't mean she still couldn't use her speed and agility advantages (if, indeed, she had them against her opponent). She'd just have to be a little more clever.

Erutis made a face at the weapon -- if it could be called that. Ignoring the even more ridiculous outfit for the poor-quality weapon she was to use made it a bit easier to tolerate.

It wasn't even near to a sword, having a different weight distribution and function. Testing it out with a few basic swings, she frowned.

"This... is so ridiculous."

"I totally agree," Samus said with a nod, still wishing she could dispense with the bat and just lunge at her opponent at top speed. But hey, she'd agreed to the silly rules when she agreed to this farce. She'd still like a good, bare-knuckle sparring match later, though.

"So, when do we start?"

Erutis Versus Samus! notathat April 28 2010, 22:18:49 UTC

Erutis shrugged, getting used to the weight and feel of the bat in her hands. She looked over at Axel, then back to her opponent.

"Whenever we want?"

Erutis Versus Samus! someday_hunter April 28 2010, 22:27:39 UTC

"Sounds good to me," Samus said, leaping forward. Okay, so she wasn't as fast as she was used to being. She was still faster than a human. And if her opponent was human, she still had that advantage.

But more to test out her limitations than any sort of calculated attack, she executed a perfect handspring to land behind Erutis. It didn't come as naturally for her as it should have, and the weight on her wrist would be painful later, but she could still do it. And that was good enough.

Erutis Versus Samus! notathat April 29 2010, 19:43:44 UTC

Erutis kept her eyes on Samus as the teen flipped over her head, smirking and giving a low, impressed whistle. "Nice flip! If your combat skills are as good as your acrobatics, then this'll be an interesting match!"

Erutis Versus Samus! someday_hunter April 29 2010, 20:06:40 UTC

"We're just gonna have to find out," Samus said, sounding cocky. She readied the bat, waiting for her opening if Erutis were to strike the first blow.
