BETA TEST (Success!)

(First test for a brawl)

Altair walks down to the arena and sits down on a bench in between two non-essential people, waiting for any challengers to arrive to meet his challenge.

Random character generator puts Toon Link and Lucario into action. "Sheesh, did I have t be chosen?" Lucario asks as he gets ready.

Altair still sits on the bench but looks up to his new opponent:
"So I am to fight you then? good to have some training I guess. Although It would be better to have someone else here as well."

He stands up and then pulls out his sword and takes a ready stance.

Toon Link starts to draw his sword, but as he dos Lucario stops him. "It'll be unfair if you fight him as well. Ill go first." Lucario pulls up a stance. "ready"

A nearby cherry blossom tree starts to shed it's blossoms, then Byakuya Kuchiki materializes out of thin air and the cherry blossoms fly past him. "I hope I'm not intruding but I would like to fight with one of you. I'm afraid that my skills will eventually diminish is I don't practice. You two won't disappoint me will you?".

"Great, now we have three fighters to start this match, Lucario is ready, as am I, are you?"

Altair climbs atop a 4 story building and waits.

Lucario stands, waiting for Byakuya's answer.

"If you are all ready, then let's get this started, I hope I won't need to hold back on either of you, as I said before, don't disappoint me.". Then all of a sudden, Byakuya disappears. It seems as if he used the "flash step" technique to hide.

"Then let's begin!"

Altair announced as he performed a leap of faith of of the building,
gliding gracefully down into a conveniently placed pile of hay,
he then jumped out and threw 3 of his 15 throwing blades at and around the blue pokemon,
then drew his dagger in his left hand.

Lucario, unconcerned about the daggers, spoke. "Metal Claw" he said, and used those claws to knock the knives down. Sensing another move, he put a foot back.

Altair ran up towards Lucario, jumping over him and to a nearby building,
He then pushed a cart of vegetables over onto the pokemon and scaled the building.
He then hid in one of several roof gardens.

Lucario simply sidesteps the cart, and starts charging up an aura sphere.

A sudden voice comes from out of nowhere. "Please, don't forget me, chire. Suddenly, a giant mass of cherry blossoms petals fly towards Lucario from behind with such speed it would be almost impossible to dodge, except they're not cherry blossom petals, they're tiny blade fragments that are being manipulated at will to hit the target with deadly accuracy. Byakuya carefully makes the mass sway in an indirect route towards Lucario making sure that Lucario's aura sphere will not be able to obliderate the mass. Byakuya appears on the rooftops for a couple seconds then disappears using the flash step technique once more.

(Neobender, it's supposed to be Lupin, you and then me, you must go in order)

Altair sits patiently waiting for any movement around his area on the roofs.

(tell that to Lupin, he went out of context first)

"shoot!" Lucario attempts to move backwards but he can not dodge the petals. He gets hit painfully, but tries to endure it. "I'll try to sense their auras" Closing his eyes, he focuses. He finds Altair and Byakuya, but finds Byakuyas speed too fast to keep up. He decides to go after Altair first. "Extremspeed!" calls Lucario, instantly going towards altair, his metal claw at the ready.

"too fast for you hm? Guess I'll slow down, I am, a bit tired." Byakuya appears on top of the rooftops far from Lucario and Altair and stands by and watches Lucario chase after Altair.

Altair sees the approaching blue Pokemon and jumps out of the garden right as it is shattered by a huge slash, he falls about one story.

He picks himself up and draws his sword, taking a dueling stance towards Lucario, waiting for him to make the next move.

Lucario get steady. "I guess I'll try a ranged attack. Dragon pulse!"

A beam goes towards Altair. "I hope ranged attacks aren't his thing"

Altair Jumps out of the way of the beam, then recovers back onto his feet, Sword at the ready.

"Bone Rush"

A bone is now created in Lucario's hands. He jumps to Altair and swings his bone.

"Perfect"
Altair says aloud as he swiftly moves to his right, countering the bone and jumping out of the way, he then throws 2 more of his 12 remaining knives at Lucario.

Sensing the knvies, Lucario ducks to the ground. He gets up with a backflip and throws a small aura sphere, slightly strengthened by the damage he took earlier.

"Wait,"
Altair said as he dove out of the way from the aura shpere,
"Byakuya must be planning this, have us weaken each other, then swoop in for the kill."

He then sat down and focused on his eagle vision, looking for Byakuya.

"Yeah, well a 3 battle is more complicated"

Lucario closed his eyes, and sensed the aura again. "Found him" he thought. "I'll wait to see what the next move is, then head out"

"Seems like they've finally found me. Let's make things more exciting shall we?" Byakuya springs from where he stood and lands 10 meters in front of the fighting pair. He seems completely relaxed and doesn't seem worried at all about being attacked, but of course, just because he seems that way doesn't mean he means it.
