The desert, a land the man knew far too well. Due to the glitches that were affecting the game, he was able to escape from his scorching prison, but it didn't seem to do him much good in this case.
Regardless, the armored figure stuck his sword deep into the sand in front of him, then kneeled down before it, placing his hands atop the hilt.
One more seal was all that needed to be broken before he would be released. He had to find the man who had caused all of his pain, his suffering.
He needed just one more person.

Rua wiped the sweat off of his brow, having been travelling under the merciless sun for quite some time now. He was wearing his usual blue and black attire, with a ragged brown cloak wrapped around him to keep the heat off of his overheated skin.
"I hate this place," he muttered to no one in particular, his green eyes scanning the small dunes. He could see something out there... something amongst the burning sands. His eyes narrowed. Despite the furious, merciless heat, he felt a chill. Slowly, he made his way forward towards the figure he saw.

"I've chosen you." The enigmatic being said as he noticed Rua's prsense when the teenager was finally in speaking distance.
Despite the light wind and the clanging of his armor, the land was dead silent as the soldier stood up, pulling his sword from the ground.
"You will be the one to release me." He finished, pointing his sword directly at Rua now.

Rua frowned the moment he laid eyes upon the warrior. This being radiated power like he'd rarely felt before. And he didn't like any bit of it. And his blood chilled when he heard him speak to him.
"I've chosen you."
Rua lowered his head slightly, glaring at the armored knight. The swordsman moved part of his cloak aside, revealing his right arm and the Phase Blade that was held by it. With a light squeeze of the hilt, the azure crystalline blade extended, gleaming in the harsh sunlight.
"If it's a challenge you want," he said coolly, "You'll find that I'm no easy meat."

"Hmph." was all the man allowed Rua to hear from his helmet, before taking a step back before lunging at the opposing swordsman, his own sword right in front of him as he did this, pretty uch knowing that a child such as his opponent couldn't ready himself in time.

Much to the surprise of his foe, Rua managed to defend against the attack, crossing his weapon over and glancing the weapon away. The blades released sparks as the two weapons scraped against each other. Rua found himself having to block with both hands--while he had managed to avoid getting skewered, he had rather stupidly underestimated the man's strength.
"Urgh," he grunted, staring at the helmet that hid his enemy's visage, "Who the hell are you?"

"Just a nobody..." The man said rather calmly, as he continued to push his blade down on his foe.
"Try and touch me, then you'll get a name." Were his last words before jumping back with his blade, and striking it into the ground, releasing a burst of energy from the sand.

Caught off guard, Rua was thrown violently away from the knight. He landed hard on his back, and he forced himself to roll with the momentum, landing in a kneeling position. As he righted himself, he gathered the light and dark energy into his left hand and fired the Disrupter shot at the armored foe before standing and charging back into the fray.

The knight, watching the blast, summoned an orb in his left hand, and jumped back as he released it. As it headed for Rua's own energy, it began to increase in size at an alarming rate.

Rua grinned as the Disrupter shot exploded against the orb of energy and sent it hurtling back.
That grin was wiped off his face when he saw it come at him again. Growling, Rua dived out of the way and ran past it, knowing that the orb would probably follow. Despite this, he readied his blade as his feet churned the sand, leaping up into the air and bringing his sword down in a hard slash at the knight's head.

"Hmph." The Knight noticed as the ball of energy suddenly turned upwards, meaning that Rua was readying an attack. Looking straight above, he watched as one of rua's blades came down, in which he clasped it together in his hands when they were in reach.
"No name, yet kid....but I will tell you something. I've been fighting the same battle ever since the existance of this pitifal world. Do you really think something such as this would work? Or did you perhas want to see my face?"

"No," Rua growled, suddenly smirking, "I was waiting for you to catch."
As Rua's feet touched the sand once more, he let go with his left hand and quickly reached for his other Phase Blade, drawing it and activating it at the same time. While the knight clasped his first sword, he lashed out at a gap in the armor with the second.

At that moment, the opposition at both sides stopped silent, before the knight began to chuckle lightly.
"Fair enough. Arumon."
The seond he had said, this, he again sprinted at Rua, this time, with TWO weapons at his disposal.

Whoa, Rua thought, pivoting around twice, once on each foot, to avoid the charge, He's fast--crap.
Rua only then remembered about the giant orb that Arumon had sent at him earlier. Hoping to repel the damn thing away from him, he attacked with a cross-slash from both weapons. As a result, the orb exploded, knocking him back with a number of burns on his body. He kept himself upright, however, and readied both weapons once more as he gave chase to Arumon.

Noting the movement in the cloud of dust, Arumon readied his blade to his front, before beginning a dash at Rua, planning on either matching his blades or claiming victory.
