[Ic]The Setup, Redux 18+

[Ampere]

Ampere ignored the Valkyr's comments as he wordlessly made his way to the dueling room of the dojo. He didn't have any particular interest in whatever trial of combat the talkative Valkyr was gunning for, but felt it would be a bit too callous of him to simply stay in another room and turn a blind eye if the Excalibur ended up getting his bones broken. Or worse.

 

"Bear in mind that if either of you go too far and begin attempting to inflict damage beyond the normally accepted parameters of a sparring match, we will be stepping in." Ampere said to the Excalibur, though he was keenly aware that both of them knew he was only really talking about one person.

 

"...Or at least I'll be stepping in." The Volt reiterated, recalling that seemingly no one else, sans the medic, seemed to care much about possible casualties.

[Agent_Maine]

Ghostar was walking through the main hall when he saw Evan, Ampere, Arino and Sab go into one of the duel rooms. "Oh, don't tell me Sab's challenged someone..." He muttered to himself. He was far away from the duel room, and it would take some time to get there. Ghostar headed quickly towards the duel room.

"Ha...yeh...sure...well, I'll...do my best," Evan said to Ampere.

"My name is Evan," he said as he stood up.

"What's yours?"

[Ampere]

"Ampere." The Volt responded simply, keeping a wary eye on the arrival of new spectators. He wasn't sure if a larger crowd would add to the fight's security...or help unravel it.

"Excessive, yes. Extremely costly too." Hexer admitted. "But on the other hand, anything on the other side, and anything within a 15 meter diameter around the impact is dead in a small explosion. 5 meters out from that and you feel the concussion and shrapnel. After that it's less lethal. If anything, Schrodinger is more for instilling panic into small groups, not eliminating large armies."

"Makes for a perfect shock and surprise weapon. Pair that up with a Soma, you could destroy a full squad in less than a few seconds. What kinda tech did you put into this thing?" Sebastian was beginning to enjoy this conversation. talk of tactics and weaponry always had him excited. 

[SpaceHelicopters]

 

"Well, hi Azelie." Silver responded. "You seem nervous. Something wrong?" He asked her.

 

"I don't know," Azelie trailed as she glanced out towards the docking bay. It was then that she learned that her gut-feeling was true. Her smoldering flames died in an instant as she began to back away, eyes fixed on a familiar Liset that was slowing to dock. She knew that color scheme anywhere; orange and pale blue with white accents. 

 

As she continued to slowly back away in horror, she tripped into a passing Excalibur carrying a crate of supplies and the two came crashing to the ground.

 

"Hey! Watch it!" called out the annoyed Tenno as he re-collected the contents of the crate. But she couldn't hear him. She continued to scoot away, eyes filled with horror as she continued to watch the Liset dock. 

 

As the landing braces locked in place around the Liset, Azelie bolted up and sprinted back into the Grandest Hall, shouting, "Sebastian! Sebastian!"

 

Due to Azelie's reaction, a group of dockworkers gathered around the freshly docked Liset, both curious to see what the hysterical girl had been so afraid of and ready to combat the potential threat. With a loud hiss, the Liset's revolving hatch quickly spun about, spitting out two identical Tenno at the same time, which should have been impossible. 

 

The two Frames wrestled with each other as the Liset quickly detached and jumped, almost crashing into several other docking ships. The gathered dockworkers watched in baffled amazement as the two alike Mirages grunted and rolled about in an almost comical, tangled mass. 

 

Eventually, the two separated for a brief moment, only for one of them to charge and knock down the other and mount them, pining their arms to their sides with their legs.

 

The top twin forcefully palmed the front of the bottom one's helmet, shattering it in a dazzling display of mostly blue rainbow light. "Take it back!" roared the top Mirage. "You know Steel Meridian is nothing like the Grineer empire, take back what you said!"

Sebastian turned his head to see why his name was being called. He moved into the grandest hall and looked over at the docking bay. He moved in closer, until he collided with Azelie. She seemed panicked and distraught. "Hey, whats the matter? Why'd you call me?" He asked. She pointed over towards the Docking Bay. His face dropped when he saw two Mirage warframes tackling one another. "That ain't fair." Sebastion said in despair. "That just isn't fair. Why? Why them? GAIUS YOU DUMB SON OF A BITC-" Sebastian's tangent was mute in comparison to violence erupting before his very eyes.

 

The Mirage on bottom looked frantically for a way to get out of this precarious position. Deciding that she was out of options, she used what she had been hoping to use on her sister later. Looking into her eyes, the Mirage let out a small burst of light from her eyes, causing the Mirage on top to real back off of her in pain. The Mirage that was once pinned charged at the other Mirage and jump kicked her in the face, destroying her helmet and sending her reeling back. "Never! The Grineer are all the same! Nothing more than war mongering savages! Now you takle back what you said about Perrin!"

Silver went over to Azelie, confused. He helped her up onto her feet. "What is it, Azelie?" He asked her. "Who are they?"

Harley seethed from behind her curled, black locks. "Oh I'll take it back," she whispered through grit teeth. She then raised her head so that her sister could see her orange eyes that burned with rage. "I'll take it back once the Corpus cease being profit-obsessed credit wh*res! Your ex-Corpus executive is no different from Alad V!"

 

While she still had sunspots from her sister's blast of light, Harley didn't need sight to fight her twin. She charged again, this time faking to the right while leaving behind a mirror copy. The copy delivered a swift jab to the gut before it disappeared in a gorgeous display of orange light. As her sister hunched over in pain, Harley palmed the back of her head and kicked out her leg, sending her sister crashing to the floor belly first.

 

Harley placed a heavy foot squarely in the middle of her sister's back, holding her down as she laughed triumphantly. "While they are our enemies, the Grineer are known for their strength, sister. Tell me, what of the Corpus?" she taunted.

Quinn gritted her teeth in frustration. How dare her sister defame the Corpus in favor of the Grineer! She tried to stand up with all her might but Harley kept her pinned down easily. Thinking of a solution, Quinn smiled when she had a perfect idea. "The Corpus..." She began as she prepared herself. "ARE KNOWN FOR THEIR BRAINS!" Quinn used Hall of Mirrors, spawning in an extra four copies. She moved her arms, causing them to move their arms in a circle until all had a hand on Harley's foot. When she did so, Quinn threw a clenched fist upwards, throwing Harley upwards into the air. The copies caught Harley and each held her by each limb tightly. Quinn walked over to her sister laughing. "Lot a good that brawn did you." She said in a manner that can only be described as *@##$y. She leaned over to her sister and flicked her ard on the forhead, laughing.

[(PSN)qwerty1310]

"Eh well, nice to meet you Ampere," Evan said.

[SpaceHelicopters]

Silver watched them fight. "Azelie, what the hell is going on?" He asked her.

Azelie let out an annoyed sigh as her flames flickered back to life. "These two are always fighting. Both have a very strong sense of pride for their respective Syndicate, and with them both being rivals, it tends to lead to scenes such as this."

She then turned to face Silver, "You may have read reports on them back during the Gradivus Dilemma. Both would take opposite sides, and together they would obliterate both sides. It eventually got to a point where neither side wanted to hire them."

Harley felt her cheeks grow hot with rage and a touch of embarrassment. Fueled by her emotions, Harley began to thrash and quickly broke free from her captor's grip through brute force. She then went on to brutally dispatch each copy, taking out her rage on the images of her sister through limb tearing and forceful blows that led to their blue, glimmering deaths.

She had hoped that her little display would have intimidated her sister. Harley turned to face her sister, brow sweating, breath heavy and beast-like, eyes full of contempt. The crowd held their breath as Harley began to step towards her sister, fearing for Quinn's life. That breath was soon released in sighs of either relief or disappointment as Harley's hand darted up to her sister's head and grabbed hold of a blond lock.

"Take it back!" Harley yelled as she tightened her grip. She then moved behind her sister to make it difficult for her to retaliate.

Sab took a while to check on her Jat, inspecting it for tip top working condition. It'd become a rather big habit of hers after the jets once crashed mid fight with a Jackal. Ended up with several bones poking out of several places.

Ah good times.

She noticed the Liset arriving with the fightonf duo, apparently shouting about the Corpus and Grineer or whatever. Sab didn't care enough to stay around for a question, so she headed into the dueling room, stepping into the arena.

She placed the hammer head onto the ground whilst the engines roared, gaining both life and power as the hammer started pushing further onto the ground.

"C'mon, waiting."

[Agent_Maine]

Azelie let out an annoyed sigh as her flames flickered back to life. "These two are always fighting. Both have a very strong sense of pride for their respective Syndicate, and with them both being rivals, it tends to lead to scenes such as this."

"Yeah, I've read stuff like that." Silver replied. He turned to face the two fighting Tenno. "This is getting out of hand." Silver muttered.

[(PSN)qwerty1310]

Evan stepped into the arena.

Ppphheewwww ok...I can do this, he thought.

He retracted the claws of his Venka and got ready.

[IceDragonofAmber]

Sab extended her un occupied arm, gesturing for Evan to come over, a large grin having found its way under her helm.

The Jat engines glowed brighter and brighter with a loud "hum", flames starting to appear as the hammer visibly created a deeper and deeper dent.

Quinn's arms flailed around wildly in an attempt to strike her sister. She eventually found a lock of Harley's hair and began pulling as hard as she could,w hile stil trying to hit her sister. "NEVER." Quinn screamed, her voice cracking. 

 

Sebastian was beginning to lose his temper. He was already annoyed by just being here, but now he had to deal with these twins. He didn't want to stop the fight, mostly because it did more harm than good, but this had gone on long enough. He just had to work out a plan...

[Ampere]

Ampere looked at the pair of combatants facing off with each other and raised a hand to the side of his visor and spoke lightly to Evan.

 

"You probably already realize this, but you can't reliably expect to deflect a jet powered hammer with claws alone. Rather than engaging her head-on, it'd be wiser to take advantage of your...hopefully higher speed and agility and work your way around it."

[Agent_Maine]

Silver sighed. "Time for someone to step in." He said. He saw that Quinn was about to punch Harley, when he used his powers to suddenly transport Harley to the Rift Dimension, making her disappear to everyone's eyes, and also was let go from Quinn's grip.

Quinn was also let to from Harley's grip, her punch phasing through the place where Harley's body was.

[(PSN)qwerty1310]

Evan looked at Ampere.

"Yeh, sure..." Evan said.

He ran up the wall behind him and did a backflip before extending his arms and aimed the claws at Sab, ready to slash her.

Hexer was about to answer Sebastian before he left. Deciding that it was against his best interest to interfere with anything the Tenno were up to, the General went back to the buffet and tried the Martian Jellyfish.

"Hmm...bit spicy." He thought quietly to himself.

[IceDragonofAmber]

Sab grinned under helmet, grinned both at the upcoming fight and Evan's attempt.

Her arms glowing with a pure, white energy the staff spung with the quick move of the hand. The hammer brought up to a crash course with er face within the second, fueled by the pure, rare power of the heavily modded jets, a firm, steady white palm the only thing that stopped the concussion with a bang.

Quickly pushed back via jet power, far out of Evan's reach was when she countered. She twisted the jet head and poked out the staff, the weapon causing her to spin in circles. Allowing her hands to move down the max length of the pole before holding tight, she spun in a wide arc of death set to intercept and destroy.

[WolfmanX9]

Erida and Luna walked in to the duel room, since Erida figured that it was the least populated room in the whole dojo. She spotted two tennos having a duel against each other. One with Venka and the other one with a Jat Kittag. Erida sat close to the observation area with Luna, who was still very close to Erida and still being shy, despite that the duel room is the least tenno filled room. It would take some time for Luna to calm down. In the meantime both Erida and Luna watched as the two tenno fought, without knowing the reason why they did duel against each other.

[(PSN)qwerty1310]

"Wha..what the..." Evan said as he saw Sab spinning around.

He ran up a wall and clinged onto it with his claws.

Hope that circle can't...fly...Evan thought.
