Paige Vs Sage

As she lunged her sword at JaK he ducked, losing a few hairs off the top of his head and touched it's surface becoming as hard as it's blade comparatively to keep the bullets from piercing his body.

"It's called a distraction genius!"

That being said, JaK dove forward and as he did so grabbed onto a long vine, which he then whipped around, causing it to latch onto Paige's ankle.

Sage had been sneaky; when doing that windmill earlier, he had tied the vine into a lasso during the spin. The dirt in the eyes was to make sure Paige wouldn't see where she was stepping when he threw it and the palm thrust was to push her into position.

With the vine lassoed around her ankle and JaK holding the other end and armored up giving him extra strength, he yanked the cord and lunged Paige into the air like a rag doll, looking to slam her into many different things such as trees, boulders, and lastly the unforgiving ground.

As she retreated, JaK knew he had finally did some damage and that Paige was actually plotting something now, especially since JaK heard no smarky quips.

"Getting serious now? Good."

As the blade came towards JaK his ear twitched once he had heard the rustle in the bushes and then as the blade came towards him, it was blocked! Suddenly, by a giant fist again, this time made of the same metal as her giant sword he had absorbed half a minute earlier, which crackled against Paige's katana.

"I heal fast...Everywhere, do you know what that means? It means my hearing never worsens, my sight is always sharp, and I process information at the highest level. Nothing on my body decays."

As JaK battled back against Paige in a test of strength and as her blade struggled against his metallic fist, however, then his other one also doubled in size as Sage launched it at her with an unremourseful gaze. Playtime was indeed over.

JaK out of respect dearmored himself again, impressed with Paige's courage to actually test him in a physical fight. Especially when he just explained to her that he was pretty much a peak level human, even without powers. He then grabbed her blade and spun it around making wooshing noises in the air as it twirled.

"You sure you wanna go down this road Paige, I really don't think you want any of this pain I've got inside of me.......I will kill you...if I find it's necessary."

Her answer came in the form of a mad dash, one JaK saw as she dashed at him and he replied by dashing right back at her at also olympic level speed. As their blades clashed sparks flew! Each looking into each other's eyes as JaK's face filled with rage and malice. His temper flare as his anger rose. Then they parted and a back and forwardth sword fight presumed between the two. Fancy techniques were shown by both when their blades collided againa nd again. JaK's form was very undisciplined and wild as he flipped off the side of trees yelling with each swipe he took and even attacked with the blade in his mouth at one point.

However, as they got into a test of strength once again, JaK decided to attempt a daring move as he let go of the blade then ducked as her own sword flew over him and then caught it in his other hand, which he used to try and slice the girl's forward leg.

As JaK took the knee to the stomach he spit up blood as he doubled over in slow motion. Then as she attempted to put his lights out with a roundhouse his foe found her leg caught up on the handle of his katana, which he used to block her kick. Then from the awkward position she was in, with her leg extended to meet the sword, he painfully shot back at her with a haymaker like punch aimed directly at Paige's cheek. This fight was now turning from finesse and style into a slug-fest of pure will and determination, and JaK had tons of that stored up.

As Paige fell, JaK twirled his blade around and then jumped to stab the girl while she was laying flat, but Paige brought up her legs and kicked him multiple times in his ribs, tenderizing them. Then as JaK dropped back to the ground favoring his ribs, suddenly he looked up and was caught off guard by a running flying kick from Paige that sent him skidding across the grassy area, afterwards he dropped to one knee breathing raspily, but then smirked and stood up. His bruise mid section could already be seen losing it's dark coloring as the skin healed itself.

"*Pant, Pant* I can do this all day, night, and week. How bout you?"

That being said, JaK readied his sword again, but then heard a rustling in the bushes... What the heck was that? It was a low tremble at first and then got louder and louder as the rocks began shaking...Then JaK realized what it was and began running away from both Paige and the sound.

"STAMPEDE!!"

No sooner had JaK yelled that out, trees began tumbling over and then out of the clearing, rhinos, boars, elephants, and many other animals all being chased by about 8 large tigers could be seen entering the fold. If Paige didn't move and Sage wasn't fast enough they would both be crushed and then probably eaten.

JaK continued to run through the forest and looked back seeing Paige on top of one of the elephants.

"Figures take the easy way out.."

As he ran he displayed some of his excellent acrobatics and parkour prowess. Actually, he moved quicker with obstacles in the way then he would have had there been nothing in front of him; bounding over large rocks, swinging off low tree branches, and leaping off the sides of trunks. Also by kicking off his shoes he found it easier to move across vines, using his feet to grab some and also get more traction for his maneuvers as he darted ahead. Surfing through some of the slanted tree tops before dropping down as they were bowled over and then sliding under a fallen log as he did so that was in his path.

Meanwhile, a few of the tigers had jumped up on top of the elephants and rhino's backs and once up there began trying to bite into their thick hides. However, upon seeing Paige on one too they began lunging across the gaint mammal's backs to get to the smaller, much more fragile female pray.

As JaK peeked from under the fallen tree, he looked up at Paige...

"A little eager aren't you? Most girls would still be a bit frightened or excited by giant cats. Orrr are you more of a dog person?"

As JaK spoke he dusted himself off. His jeans were now ripped in multiple places, most notably the knees, but his bruises had nearly all healed. Only injuries that were visible was the inflamation of marks from where Paige had hit him where the blood vessels were still repairing and the scabs from cuts with with blood stains under them. However, more internal stuff was still causing JaK pain, but not enough that he would show it or allow it to affect him.

Spoiler:

He pulled up the sword from where Paige had put it and once again assumed another radical sword position. The friction in the air was intense between them and the atmosphere was obviously seen upon their faces as they imagined cutting each other down, but overall JaK had to admit...He was having fun.
