A challenge.(Col Jessup/Open)

[Col. Jessup]

Col. Jessup stopped firing when he saw his shots were only going into the portal. He switched his gun back to single shots, and then holstered it. He had a feeling that portal was meant for more than simply protecting the boy, so he drew his energy sword, and got ready for anything. The Colonel saw another portal open up to his left, and he shifted his sword a bit in that direction. As the shots started to come out he put his blade in front of them to deflect the shots right back at Ultima. However, he didn't move fast enough. Two shots got his left shoulder, revealing more metal. On his left shoulder, where the lasers had hit, the USMC Seal was engraved into the metal. Ben showed no signs of pain--he got pretty good at that during his time in the service.
As the shots were deflected off his energy blade at Ultima he tried to come up with a new plan of attack.

[Ryo]

The shots reflected towards him just flew into the portal again to come out of the other."Your not much for thinking things through are you?"Ultima looked over the revealed metal parts."Tell me how long have you been around...?"

[Col. Jessup]

Col. Jessup started deflecting the shots skyward, and once they were done he sheathed his sword, and stood straight. "Some time." He answered. "I have a proposition for you, boy." Ben said plainly. "What do you say we end this honorably? Just you and I, hand-to-hand..." He said to Ultima.

[Ryo]

Ultima thought for a moment."...You got it."He put his sword away and got into a fighting stance."I'll allow you ot have the first strike..."

[Col. Jessup]

Col. Jessup balled his hands into two big fists, and started to calmly walk toward Ultima. Big mistake, boy. He thought. The second he got near the kid he threw a front punch with his left hand, which was quickly followed by a reverse punch with his right. Both punches were aimed to the face of the boy, and were followed by two side kicks to the torso--one kick with each leg.

[Ryo]

Ultima smirked blocking both punches."It seems you've lost quite a bit of power."He backflipped avoiding the kicks and landing several feet away from the Colonel.

[Col. Jessup]

~Have I now?~ Benjamin thought as he stared blankly at the boy. He charged at Ultima, moving at about 70MPH, and attempted to bash his face with his forearm. If he managed to pull off his first attack he would follow it up with a back-fist to the back of the boy's head, thus keeping him from falling. Once he knew if his back-fist landed he would either spin around and try to knee the kid in the back, or simply get ready to guard.

[Ryo]

He matched the Colonels first punch with one of his own the colliding powers causing the colosseum to shake he then threw a powerull punch aimed at his shoulder attempting to screw up some of the circuits within it.

[Col. Jessup]

"Fool." Col. Jessup let out as the boy attempted to harm him by striking his shoulder. Chances were that the strike hurt Ultima's fist more than it did Benjamin, as his robotic parts were made of a metal far stronger than iron and titanium combine. He quickly went to strike the boy in the chest with his right fist, and then roundhouse kick him in the face with his right leg.

[Ryo]

Ultima shook his hand surprised that he couldn't do anything to damadge the Colonel. Damn...guess i'll have to pull out my trump card. He was struck in the stomach but blocked the kick large ammounts of energy gathering around his fists."I'll break you metal man!"He started to fly past the colonel continously striking with an amazing ammount of power.

[Col. Jessup]

~Will shall see.~ Benjamin thought. As the boy continued to attempt to strike him he preformed a series of blocks, using speed equal or possible greater than that of Ultima's. ~You cannot break me, boy.~ He thought.
Col. Jessup charged at the boy with great speed, and when he was close enough he tried to uppercut his chin with his right elbow.

[Ryo]

Ultima was struck...so it seemed what Colonel thought he had hit vanished Ultima charging at him from behind."Your getting slow!"Ultima jumped towards him with a great deal of speed trowing a punch with enough power to leave a large dent in the Colonel's metal body.

[Col. Jessup]

"That's what you think." Col. Jessup said quietly. He quickly spun himself around, and just as the boy tried to punch him he used a Chudan block with his left arm, and then attempted to bring his right elbow down on Ultima's neck with tremendous speed and force.

[Ryo]

Ultima was struck by the Colonels elbow then vanished once again.. I owe you for this one Kiske... Ultima reapeared behind the Colonel both his hands blazing with energy."Omni Sweep!"Ultima then punched straight at him he would then try an upercut and come back down slamming with his fists he would then unleash two spin kicks at the Colonels side and finish with a powerfull punch each strike would be thrown with an amazing ammount of speed and power.

[Col. Jessup]

Benjamin saw the boy vanish, and knew he would appear behind him again. However, he wasn't able to turn about and use another Chudan block before he was struck. He did, however, turn around. When Ultima tried an uppercut, the Colonel used a simple open hand block called fan-hook, thus he moved the fist off course, and took hold of the boy's wrist. He then moved in for a sweep. He pulled the boy toward him, took a crescent step forward and positioned his front leg behind Ultima's front leg. As Col. Jessup moved one step forward he tried to kick Ultima's front leg off the ground with his own front leg while striking the boy with the blade of his free hand.
