Meh deleted my last post :P someone notify me when the fight it done :D
Lucius walked up to the platform, rolling his shoulders a bit. He turned on his comm to all loyalist forces "All Loyalist forces stand down and enjoy the show." Even in times of turmoil, he managed to find a way to make things fun. He turned on his external speakers as he got on the platform. "It is done" he said as he took a few paces away from Corden and pulled out the two swords on his back"So is this to the death or what?" he asked before they could begin.
"Really? Wow, thanks" Lucius exclaimed, in contrast to his opponent drawing a primitive weapon from his back, it looked dangerous, though archaic in more than one sense. Lucius stood ready, hands to either side as he draws a vibro knife from his boot. His right foot forward with his rear foot in behind. As the pincer attack came at him he would duck his head back as a precaution and raise a hand to the mace, his prosthetic hands easily catching in the notches of the weapon as the force would have knocked another opponent well off. His hand then locked on the swing of the mace. Simultaneously he raised his lead foot to dodge the plasma flail. The force of the mace would normally just knock him away but he swung his wrist in time with the moment up of the weapon as he grabbed it, as it then forced Lucius to spin in a counter direction. The lock on the mace and Lucius’ superior weight due to the sum of his implants granted him incredible strength and stability.
Rolling into the attack Lucius threatened to hyperextend the arm of Corden, positioning himself slightly behind him left shoulder to left shoulder as one of Lucius’ vibro knives were gripped in reverse firmly in his hand. Continuing to spin the knife would aim to be plunged into Cordens’ shoulder with post human strength. The extreme hyper-extension threatening to amputate the entire limb should the attack work. Should it not, there was an incredibly high probability that Corden would have to drop the mace to save his arm. Where Lucius would discard it to the opposite side of the chamber well away from himself in the same swing as to avoid any form of explosion or the like. The spinning motion however, other than the opportunity to get behind his opponents wild though calculated swing served the purpose to build momentum…
Lucus from a position of advantage, his opponent would almost have to naturally turn. At the apex of his spin, balancing himself Lucius crouched low. Quite low, spinning on a pivot of his left leg he would let out a powerful and incredibly fluid strike with his right leg, capable to shattering Cordens’ kneecaps if he turned into the attack. While hitting him strong enough to take his legs out from under him if he turned away from the attack. Almost two thousand pounds of kinetic force stretched through Lucius’ armored body as the kick would connect with Cordens’ far side. As Lucius’ intended footwork needed to take him that far. Planting his left hand on the ground gave the kick immeasurable power as well. If he were to follow Lucius, either way he would have to control the swing of the flail to follow Lucius, with his eyes. And were he to reconstitute the swing, he would have to break his own eye contact and leave himself blind for the fractions of seconds that were vital to him to avoid the attack, which would most likely soar over Lucius’ head.
The process would be completed in a single fluent motion, Lucius’ mechanically enhanced speed playing to his advantage, as well as his strength. Corden was barely fighting a human. He was a fool. “You’re slow.” Lucius taunted. “Not a good start for you Sir.” Honest respect for his former rank in his voice, but a rebellious nature seeping through between the cracks… This would be fun.
Below is a summary of Lucius' IC actions. I'm listing them in order exactly as they appear in both posts...
Lucius removes two swords that were sheathed on his back. Lucius positions his hands on either side of himself as he reaches down and removes a vibroknife from his boot (which implies he had to lean over to get it). At the same time, he is ducking his head back and raising a hand to grab the mace (with "the force would have knocked another opponent well off.)" He is also raising his right foot at that precise moment. Following so far? He's leaning over, ducking his head, grabbing at the mace, and raising a foot at the same time. Keep in mind that he is supposed to have those two swords in his hands while also holding a vibroknife and grabbing the mace.
To answer this: Ducking his head back means simply he is leaning his head backwards. Him grabbing the mace while holding the sword really isn't something out of this galaxy, and he held back a blow that would have knocked anybody well off. He is also raising his right foot at the same time, allowing him to absorb some of the mace blow, while still dodging the flail. As far as the vibro knife it was a mistake on my part and it really shouldn't be there, I had told you in VM the same thing. All in all it's a fluid and simple motion, basically all he is doing is leaning back.
Ok to answer this: Lucius is at first going against the Mace's force, but then switches to using it by extending Corden's arm and rolling around it. As far as the "incredible strength and stability.", all that means is that Lucius has sure footing, enhanced with cybernetics.Next, he is using the mace's momentum and allowing the hand gripping it to swing with the weapon (see the quote a few lines above; if we consider both actions, they imply he is going along with the mace's forward motion and pushing it away at the same time). He is now spinning in the opposite "counter" direction the mace was moving. All the while, he has ""incredible strength and stability."
Ok all the second paragraph is is the last few sentences in the first paragraph in detail. So the roll (Which is a spin just to be clear) already happened. Lucius is rolling/spinning down Corden's arm on the opposite side of the swing, extending Corden's arm, that is where he stabs his shoulder. Lucius is in a "position of advantage." due to the fact he is behind Corden, which normally is considered an advantage. The kick itself is a low spinning capoera kick, which in Lucius' position, shouldn't be hard to do.Immediatly following that, he is rolling INTO the attack... just a second ago he was moving in a "counter direction" right? Next he is coming out of that roll shoulder to shoulder with Corden whilst stabbing at Corden's shoulder with the knife. He's still holding on to the mace at this point, hyper-extending Corden's arm... all this after moving with the attack, then away from the attack, and then rolling right up next to Corden. He then states that Lucius is in a "position of advantage." Somehow he is still spinning at this point, but he is also crouched very low. At the same time, he states that Lucius is "spinning on a pivot of his left leg he would let out a powerful and incredibly fluid strike with his right leg" while "planting his left hand on the ground."
Fluent means graceful and easy, so either word works.All of that, he states, was completed "in a single fluent motion." Obviously he meant fluid, not fluent, but I think you get the point.
Tbh, they are logical assumptions, he can't just say no to the hyper extension, when Lucius is: A)Probably Much stronger and B)Probably Much faster, giving Corden little time to react. Also Corden doesn't need to turn around, but if he doesn't that just makes things worse for him.The last two paragraphs make far too many assumptions on Corden's positioning. There's way too much going on in one reply, when Corden pretty much just launched two attacks (one to primarily distract) and majority of his post was what would happen if Lucius tried to react to it in different ways. Lucius, I think you need to make your reply a bit more clear. It's honestly all over the place and borderline incoherent.
