Argis walks in to a circular room, the diameter is about a football field across (wooden floors). Where in the middle of the room a large Ying-yang has been painted on the floor and the wall seems to go up forever. It has gargoyle Dragons spitting out fire all the way up with the occasion beam going across the sides about the width of a balance beam. Argis looks across the room to see a door open as Whitakker walks in. Argis smiles “well let us finish this.” With that Argis moves in to stance that releases all tension on the blade and the sheath.

"Yes, let's."
*Whitakker takes off his overcoat, and throws it across the room. He draws his sword from his back, and plants it in the wood floor momentarily. He draws both of his revolvers, and casts them off to where his coat lies. He does the same with his sawblades. His sword is the only weapon he will use. He plucks his sword from the floor, and addresses Argis:*
"As you can see, I have disposed of my ranged weapons. I can only trust you on your honor as a samurai to do the same. Also, I chose not to bring Skye here today. I did not want any liabilities."
*Whitakker holds his sword casually in one hand, eyes Argis cooly, and begins to circle the samurai slowly.*
"If these terms are agreeable to you, I'll let you make the first move."
*Whitakker continues to circle Argis, waiting for his reply.*

Argis smiles “I will.” Argis grabs crossbow and his shurrikens and casted them off to the side. Argis then be fore his weapons hit the floor Argis jumps and lands on the floor in front of Whitakker crunches up and stabs up.

*Whitakker backflips out of the reach of the blade, and lands on the wall near where the door is. Planting both feet on the wall, he pushes off, and points his sword at Argis' heart. Whitakker knew that Argis would either dodge or deflect his attack, so he decided to mix it up a bit. As soon as Whitakker comes within three feet of the samurai, he shifts his momentum, and lets his body fall to the floor. He lands on his side, but his momentum carries him past Argis. But not before Whitakker makes a slash at Argis' ankles...*

Whitakker’s sword slices at Argis ankles. Argis hops up about 2 inches and lands on his sword but before his full weight hits the blade. Argis jumps again and performs a quark screw spin then lands on his feet one leg on each side of Whitakker, and draws his Wakizashi and does x block over Whitakker’s throat, and begins close the blades in a scissor like fasion.

*Whitakker swiftly brings his blade close to his neck, and Argis' blades catch his sword. With his sword now wedged between Argis' wakizashi and katana, Whitakker still lies on the floor. Thinking quickly, Whitakker raises both of his feet off of the ground, and since his lower half is behind Argis, kicks the samurai squarely in the back. Argis bends forward, but uses his momentum to lower into a roll. The two combatants rise quickly, ready for the next round. Whitakker takes a step toward Argis, plants his sword in the ground, and pushes off into the air, sword in hand. As Whitakker falls to the ground, he makes an overhead slash at Argis' head.*

Argis smiles with a mixture of surprise and happiness Argis says as he moves. “I glad that you got out I wanted a fight and not a massacre, *Argis parries and cut up kinking Whittaker’s side*. Though I am surprised you where able to fit that longsword of yours between my blades and your neck with out killing yourself. Please save yourself pain and surrender or I’ll will have to kill you…”

*Whitakker feels blood trickle down his side, but shuts the pain out of his mind. After halfheartedly listening to Argis' words, Whitakker decides that the samurai does not seem to have taken notice of Whitakker's modified blade. The sword is the same design as his original broadsword, but it is a broadsword no longer. Instead, it has been reduced in size to a highly versatile blade, allowing Whitakker to use it with one or both hands effectively as he sees fit, not just with two hands.
Whitakker brushes the words spoken by Argis aside as one would shoo away a pesky fly. Words will do you no good here, samurai, only your skill. Whitakker wastes no time in collecting his strength, both physical and mental, and strikes at Argis with quick, unrelenting, multiple slashes to the samurai's body.*

Most of Whitakker shots where blocked by a combination of the armor and the quickly drawn Tanto still some hit drawing blood Argis says “I thought you would rather live but her we go!” Argis blocks the blade, and then in a second wrap his arm around it and slams it with a palm heels it if is slung out of Whitakker hand and also flies out of Argis hand it hit the wall and clatters to the ground. And Argis then begins to throw a series of kicks and punches all with deadly accuracy. With the last few moves Argis stops Whittaker still stunned from the first few that caught him off guard. Doesn’t move Argis drops down in a flash Argis, caught Whitakker under the jaw sending him fling back he hits the wall opposite of his sword. Argis takes a step back and grabs both swords and throws his Tonto at Whittaker’s crest….

*Whitakker barely has time to roll out of the way before Argis' tanto embedds itself in the wall. Whitakker quickly pulls it out of the wall, now the only weapon he has. But no matter. If it's a blade, Whitakker has been trained to use it. Having to clear his mind and shake off the multiple blows, Whitakker assumes a defensive stance, and waits for Argis' next move.*

While the fight is proceeding fairly well, there are a few things I feel I must comment on before my extended absence. Both of you are, to an extent, dictating the actions of your opponent, although I find it most pronounced in Argis' latest post.
I have some real problems with this post--not only has Argis spammed attacks without giving Whitakker a chance to respond, but he's also made some of his strikes auto-hit without giving Whitakker a chance to formulate any sort of response. According to this post, Whitakker was stabbed, disarmed, stunned, and brutally slammed into a wall all without being given any opportunity for a block or counterattack. Please everyone, remember the laws of common courtesy associated with arena battles!
Then again, it could be argued that Argis was not granted an adequate chance to retaliate against Whitakker's kick. The fact that that particular attack auto-hit doesn't help, either. Overall, though, Whitakker's breaks in procedure aren't nearly so pronounced as in the previous excerpt.
Keep on fighting, people!
-Thanatos

Argis looks at Whittaker I surprised that didn’t *removes katana and wakashasi*kill you. I guess I’ll have to try harder *Argis picks up his Tanto* and throws it once again, but to high it slams in to the clay gargoyle. It shatters behind Whittaker the oil erupts in to flames and flies out in Whittaker’s direction*Argis assumes fighting stance.

*Whitakker dives out of the reach of the flames, rolls, and rises, now having cut the distance between himself and Argis. Whitakker sees his sword on the other side of the samurai, close to the wall. Without hesitation, Whitakker dashes towards Argis, and aerials over him, dodging a swipe at his midsection in mid-flight. Whitakker throws the tanto at Argis' head, freeing his hand. Whitakker comes down hands first, one hand closing his sword. Pushing off with his hands, Whitakker flies towards the near wall. As impact is made, Whitakker pushes off of the wall, and soars over Argis again, this time making multiple slashes at Argis' exposed head...*

Argis duck quickly to avoid the blows to his head and in one foul motion spins around to cut at Whittakker"s side

*:Whitakker swings his blade to meet that of the samurai's, and pushes himself back and away from that deadlock. Taking a brief second to clear his head, Whitakker idly swings his sword in lazy patterns, as he await's his adversary's next move...*
