That was unexpected, Rua thought sardonically as Arumon threw him across the desert battlefield. Righting himself in midair, Rua slammed his feet into the sands, skidding back and stopping. He looked up sharply, seeing the sword coming right at him.
His right arm slammed back as he chambered, the middle bullet piece practically exploding as it disintegrated, and Rua charged forward, spinning with a emerald blast wave of energy emanating from his back.
"Time for Annihilating Second Bullet!"
Rua's fist, still chambered, slammed the axe-like sword away from him mid-spin, and he continued to rocket forward at the knight and thrust his fist out at Arumon.

The knight began to move his body away from Rua, at the same time running for his sword, stuck with the hilt penetrating from the sand. He was able to run enough to pull the blade out, but hardly enough time to avoid Rua's attack. Resisting the best he could, he kept his blade drawn, holding it in front of him, and was soon sent flying across the desert when Rua's fist impacted with his chest.
His body shaking madly, Arumon had somehow managed to stand up, his helmet now cracked severly, showing half of his face to his opponent.
"I chose you I refuse to stop...not yet." With this, the knight powered up his sword for a final bereserking attack, and charged at Rua, his stamina depleting as he rushed at his foe.

"Alright," Rua growled, spreading his legs and chambering his fist back. "This is Exterminating Last Bullet!"
The final bullet disintegrated, and the emerald flame roared to life behind him. Rua blasted across the desert sands at Arumon, spinning rapidly and actually lifting off the sands as he attacked. When the point of no return was crossed, Rua slammed his fist out, striking the tip of Arumon's sword. The two of them fought for dominance, and Rua began growling as he struggled to force the weapon back. A final, thunderous shockwave sounded...
... and Rua's eyes widened behind the visor of his helmet as he was thrown backwards by Arumon's hidden strength.

Arumon, taking his chance for a final blow, lifted his sword above his head, his body shaking rapidly as he threw his blade at Rua, hitting right beneath the warrior's chin. Once that had happened, the knight jumped, grabbed his blade, and smacked Rua to the ground with his final blast of energy.
Both were on the ground now, trembling, shaking with pain. At this time, the knight struck his blade into the desert, obtaining the pose he had when the two crossed paths. His body suddenly stopped shaking, and the scars that his armor bore disappeared, including the helmet, which returned to it's normal, menacing state.
He was silent for a moment, and then stood up, slowly lifting the blade from the ground. As the sword ascended, faint sounds of clinging metal could be heard, like the rattling of chains. When the blade had fully emerged, a chain-ike design had appeared over the knght's body.. a split second later, they were crushed into nothingness.

Rua's body twitched as he slowly pulled himself up. The bold colors of his right arm had reverted to normal, and his armor was dented and cracked everywhere. He pulled the Phase Scythe from his hip and activated it, watching as Arumon shattered the bindings.
"Wh... what the hell are you?" he growled, using his sword to keep himself propped up.

The knight turned, his back now facing Rua, before finally turning around after a few moments of a mental debate for a suitable answer.
"A castaway." And feeling satisifed that he answered the question, turned around, and began to walk away from his opponent, no longer caring for his well-safety, now that he was no longer stranded in his own version of hell.

"You're strong, aren't you," Rua muttered, flinging his Phase Scythe aside so it stuck in the sand, his voice rising, "You're like a hundred times stronger than the others."
The prismatic glow returned around him as his arm was once again clothed in red, orange, and gold armor, contrasting with the rest of his suit. "I'm not done with you yet!" he shouted, slamming the ground with his fist as the three bullets reappeared on his back. The force of the blow caused all the smoke to blast away, and he was launched into the air, high above Arumon, his form silhouetted by the blazing sun.
His fist chambered back once more, and all three bullets exploded in a shower of prismatic light.
"Rapid-Kill Final Bullet!!!"
The massive burst of green energy that was unleashed from his back caused Rua to spin rapidly in midair, consuming him in a gigantic emerald fireball. He cut through the air like a buzzsaw at Arumon, and the ground exploded with a defeaning crash as he struck.

At the other side of this clash, his strength fully returned, the knight held his blade outstretched with one hand, withholding Rua's final attack.

Behind his helmet, Rua's face was a lesson in shock.
No way.
The backlash of the final Shell Bullet attack finally threw him off of Arumon, and he landed roughly next to the Phase Lance, pivoting around twice into a kneel, and he grabbed his sword as his armor returned to its normal color.
There's just no way. Not another one.

(Not another one...? >__> Fill me in via pm, plz.)
"........" The silence lasted for a few long minutes asthe knight stared deeply at his past opponent. Eventually, he moved his right foot slowly, making a turn, and this time left at full speed away from the area.
"Rua? Rua!" All at once, the desert had a faint noise again between the long periods of silence, this time because of Sora.
"I knew someone had to have been strong enough to handle his own against an energy source like his...but...you? Do you know who he IS?" Sora bent down to the other teenager, looking at the direction he saw Arumon before disappearing.
"I was too late...he has a serious issue with the staff, especially Gahm..by unlocking his chains, we've screwed Ymaggion over....royally."

Rua ripped his weapon from the ground and split it into the two Phase Blades, sheathing them both as his damaged armor disappeared.
"..."
Rua looked over at Sora. "I'm getting the feeling I only lasted as long as I did because his power was sealed," he said to the young Administrator, "But once he defeated me, I tried the Rapid-Kill Final Bullet. Didn't even phase him."
Rua stared out across the desert, in the direction of the Arumon's exodus. "Ymaggion has way too many rogue programs on the loose already," he said softly, "Go alert the Staff. I'll see if I can keep up with him."
Taking a swig of a recovery potion, Rua started what would be a good, long trek across an unforgiving wasteland.
