Arumon grunted as he saw this action, took a quick step back, and met Rua's action with one similar to his own. Somewhere between the clashing blades, he had locked Rua's weapon down, both enemies pushing at each other to knock him back.
"Your not as weak as I had though...but I have chosen you to release me...this battle cannot be allowed to continue much longer."

Rua growled, struggling to force Arumon's strange sword back. Sparks flew as the blades slid across each other.
"Well," Rua grunted, "You'll find that I won't go down so easily."
With a final push, Rua shoved the blades to the side and disengaged, bringing the Phase Scythe around and making a brutal vertical strike.

With his berserker status reaching it's limits, Arumon was able to time a small jump, so just as Rua swung his sweapon, the knight landed on top of it, then jumping again into the air, aiming a strike at Rua's head.

Rua grunted as the blade struck his helmet, silently thanking Bahamut for its durable material as he staggered back. The Phase Scythe came up and slashed at Arumon again, this time unleashing a wave slash of energy with Rua's shout of "Kougenjin!"

The knight crossed his arms in front of his body in an attempt to resist the attack. The result was Arumon ebing pushed back a few feet, with a large gash in his armor. With this attack however, Arumon had achieved perfect berserker status. Realizing this, the knight, took a small leap at Rua, suddenly disappearing behind his opponent, blade outstretched, looking as though he had done nothing to Rua. A moment later, however, several slashes suddenly engulfed Rua's body.

Behind his dark visor, Rua's eyes widened in shock as Arumon seemed to disappear. Within a moment, he realized that the knight was behind him, and that it was too late. He cried out as several gashes suddenly appeared in his armor, cutting through into his skin.
This might not have been such a good idea, he thought as he fell forward. With a grunt, Rua spun around at a surprising speed, his left hand ablaze with Godhand as he made a slashing motion at Arumon's back, hoping to torch right through the armor.

His berserker status still active, however slowely fainting, allowed him very little time to react to this. Unfortunately, he could not block with his weapon as he had hoped, and caught Rua's hand and matched it with his own, the godhand simmering through the protective plate on the knight's hand.

Lightning and azure energy flared about as the two warriors struggled for dominance. The gathered energy quickly lost control, and threw both of them back with a concussive blast of sound.
Rua's boots ignited and he pivoted several times as he reoriented himself. Deactivating the Phase Scythe and placing it in one of his sheathes, Rua lifted his right arm and extended it out in front of him. His fingers and thumb curled in one after another, and the material beneath the gauntlet stretched audibly as the blue-armored warrior clenched his fist tightly. Four chunks of wasteland ground were suddenly ripped from the ground, as if disappearing. A prismatic light, shining with all the colors of the rainbow, surrounded him, and three curved and flattened spikes materialized on the right side of his back, each curling upwards. The armor covering his right arm quickly shifted colors, going from cobalt, violet-blue, and silvery-blue to red, orange, and gold.
Staring at his enemy, Rua readied to attack with the Shell Bullet.

Arumon stared blankly at his foe, although Rua could not see this. The knight thought out his actions for the few seconds he was allowed, before deciding his next move. Silently, the clanging of his armor was all that could be heard apart from Rua's massive energy outbreak as he charged forward, his blade to the right side of his boddy, gathering energy as he ran.

"Heh," Rua chuckled, "Idiot. Time for Shocking First Bullet."
Rua chambered his right arm back as he fell into a ready stance. The lowest bullet piece on his back suddenly glowed in the same prismatic light before disintegrating away, and a massive geyser of emerald energy burst from his back. Rua blasted across the sands, spinning twice as the kinetic energy gathered into his fist.
Just as he neared Arumon, the blue-armored warrior made one last spin before rocketing his fist out at his knightly foe.

The knight had little time to react to the first of Rua's attacks, and therefor decided the only thing he could do was continue dashing at his opponent. Near Rua, Arumon brought his blade to swing, but it was too late at that moment, for Rua's first blast hit him right in the chest. The knight was pushed back, grunting, the energy from the attack sizzling through his armor, slowly seeping into the skin underneath. In retalation to this blast, the armored man took the few steps he had previously lost, swinging his blade at Rua.

Rua's punch sent both of him flying across the sands as the Shocking First Bullet propelled Rua, but when Arumon struck, he barely had enough time to prevent it from being a killing blow. As it was, the axe-like sword left a large gash down the cuirass in his armor, cutting through the liquid metal and into the solid metal beneath.
Rua forced himself to pivot away from Arumon. "Not bad," he said, "Most people don't survive the First Bullet. I guess you're one-of-a-kind."

"Most people don't have it in them to take a weapon to my armor..." With this, the knight again thrusted forward, making sure to jab at one of the gashes in Rua's armor.

Rua grunted and stepped back, throwing up his shield to block. The axe-like blade grinded against the shield, causing sparks to shower the sand as the metal ground against one another. Rua then stepped forward again and sweeped his right leg out, kicking at Arumon's face in an attempt to distance each other.

Arumon's head was barely shielded since his helmet was marked with dents, gashes, and cuts from previous attempts. However, just as the impact began to throw him back, the knight readied his body, grabing Rua's leg with his left arm, spinning his body around, and tossing Rua to his backside, soon after sending his blade spinning at him.
