Dusty cursed under his breath as Mitha'lo rolled clear of his explosive arrows. His master plan apparently had a few flaws, namely, he was stuck in the air with no good way to avoid any attacks. He grit his teeth and braced himself as the five loud shots rang out from below and five bullets slammed into his body. He sailed back from the force of the bullets, only to be violently pushed back and slammed into the wall behind him as a large gust of wind shoved him. Dusty rose to his feet unsteadily and shook his head, clearing it. "You're not too bad yourself," Dusty commented, grinning as he tapped away at his bracer and readied three more arrows.
As Mitha'lo began to run around the arena, Dusty dashed towards the center. He drew the first two arrows from his quiver, both water arrows and stabbed them into the ground. A large tidal wave heading in all directions surrounded Dusty and moved outward towards the edge of the arena. He drew his third arrow, an Energy arrow, and stabbed it into the water, electrifying the entire wave. Alright, now what? he thought to himself, hoping the wave bought him enough to time formulate a new plan.

As the fragments of ideas began to steadily work around in his mind, Mitha'lo grunted in frustration. The large waves were storming with their fluid and menacing march. The situation was dangerous thanks to the perfect radius that had been formed around Dusty. Tracing the height and judging it by past experience Mitha'lo knew he wouldn't be able to get over it with his strength alone. The need to conserve his aura was too high at the moment. He paused for a moment and faced the oncoming water. Even if he ran the wave would crash into him at any moment. It was best to stop and concentrate. Mitha'lo looked around himself and placed his hand in the ammo pouch sitting on his waist. Eyes shifted rapidly between the water and the wall. These were not just Mitha'lo's eyes. The crowd watched in anticipation as the distance between Mitha'lo and the electrified water closed in. An spastic level of nose filled Mitha'lo's senses.
Finally as the water came close to impacting against Mitha'lo, the young man decided to bite the bullet. From his pouch he pulled out nothing...Gotta pull something outta my ass here. he thought before firing five rounds of wind dust into the wave; now merely two yards away from him. He fired his rounds to create a triangular patter before him. This caused a disturbance in the water before the next two rounds were shot off. These two aimed for the center of triangle in the attempt to cause a breach in the water. No matter how minute the opportunity would be due to the shifting form and nature of water. In a simultaneous step Mitha'lo would crouch and back up into the wall behind him. Focusing his aura around his body for protection he'd pounce of the wall while aiming Rend into the wall. A sixth bullet of Wind Dust was used to propel him forward in tandem with his own strength.
Plng! Went Mitha'lo as he dove headfirst into his opponents crafty barrier. The electrical element infused into the water tingled and snapped against his body while his aura fended off the most harsh nature of it. The blast of speed he started began to wither away as the water resisted his entry. However it would just be enough to make it towards the other side. Within a few seconds Rend could be seen breaking the surface on Dusty's side. Mitha'lo would follow suit with an Wind round ready to fire at Dusty's center of gravity. "Crafty little devil!"

Dusty turned as he heard a few bullets whiz by and saw a hole in his wall of water. He broke his bow into Ardu and Leagtha and turned towards the hole as Mitha'lo leapt through it. He rolled to the left as another one of his opponent's wind bullets shot by, feeling the blast of wind make his jacket flap around wildly. As he landed on his hands and knees, the archer pushed himself forward. He scooped up a small ball from his own shadow and tossed it in front of himself, hoping to blind his opponent with his Shadow Sight ability as he dashed forward and slashed at Mitha'lo with his twin knives.

Mitha'lo could have sworn that the moment of victory was at hand. With Rend risen to his side for a deadly thrust, the golden boy would have pierced Dusty. Or at least tried his best to execute the attack. In a swift motion as Mitha'lo ran towards Dusty, the boy lobbed some strange substance at his face. It was hard for Mitha'lo to tell what just happened to him. Suddenly his vision went black and not even the visor over his face was able to stop it. The machine failed Mit in locating Dusty through the strange act of Semblance. In his daze and distraction, Mitha'lo was hit by both of Dusty's blades. It tore his jacket and pushed his body backwards. This time he was hitting the ground instead of his opponent. The lack of sight caused Mitha'lo to worm as Rend flew from his grasp. Even his visor was ripped off in an attempt to regain sight.
As the darkness brought the cool and calm fighter to his knees, Mitha'lo's breathing became heavy with panic. He never experienced such a loss of vision before. "Shit." He muttered like a mantra. Without his sight the sounds of the crowds were making it hard for Mitha'lo to hear. It was going to be hard to listen for Dusty's location. With his adrenaline pumping harder through his heart Mith jumped to his feet and ran back the way he came. After running for a few yards he'd hit the wall with his head. The impact would send a tinge of numbness into his head which he groaned towards. It wasn't painful in nature; the embarrassment he'd be facing right now however was causing him more damage than the wall or blindness.
Mitha'lo then began to run to the left. Running and running as carefully as he could. Mitha'lo kept his right hand on the wall as he tried to stay on the move. "'The hell am I going to do? It is only a matter of time now since he pulled this on me...I can always try to use my right arm. But it would have to be a instant-TKO. After that he'd know it was coming." His thoughts were becoming sporadic. The outlines of plans began to rush in and out. This was truly a feeling he had not had since his father tried to kill him. Fear of his own powerlessness.

Dusty blinked in surprise as Mitha'lo was actually hit by his Shadow Sight ability. In all his times of using it, it was usually unsuccessful in blinding his opponents. He watched the older boy struggle and flail around as he tried to recover from the archer's Semblance use. Completely and wholly vulnerable. Dusty's eyes flickered black again and out of the stumbling Mitha'lo's shadow rose a dark, shadowy clone of the man. He flicked his eyes over to his opponent's discarded weapon and the shadow Mitha'lo picked it up before it and Dusty sprinted the real Mitha'lo.
The archer punched a few commands into his gauntlet before readying Ardu and Leagtha. As they reached Mitha'lo, he and the shadow clone began slashing their blades in a flurry of strikes and cuts aimed at the older boy's body. After a quick series of attacks, Dusty would aim a kick at Mitha'lo's chest before spinning away, snapping his knives back into Daybreaker, and drawing the two Fire arrows he had set up. "Time for a little fireworks display," he said, smirking as he let the explosive arrows fly.

The darkness was fear-inducing and crippled the boys ability to fight. To survive even. As Mitha'lo tried to think of what to do next the sounds of running behind him came into ear shot. But it wasn't just one set to indicate Dusty's approach. Someone or something had joined him; was it a puppet or something? The matches were meant to be one on one. So any outside help would cause Dusty to be disqualified. That would leave the assumption that it had to do with his Semblance. Some power he had allowed Dusty to blind Mitha'lo, and that couldn't be all he had. Because before Mitha'lo knew it, the strikes of three blades came down on him. After several quick strikes landed against him Mitha'lo threw his right arm up to defend himself. The feeling of Rend's serrated edge was easy to distinguish in the furry of attacks. "The hell? So you turn my own weapon against me!? You sha-" A well placed kick to the chest by-passed the blonde's weak defenses. It pushed him off balance and back into the wall.
With frustration rising, Mitha'lo leaped outward towards his shadow mimic in hopes it was Dusty. Managing to barely grapple the fake Mitha'lo, the real one pushed it to the ground before pulling Rend away from it. As he yelled Mitha'lo would stab his fake in the chest twice before the whizzing of two arrows cut the air. Suddenly Mitha'lo felt a numbing explosion. The heat of fire and the sounds of the explosion caused his heart to skip a beat. He'd be cast off his mimic before hitting the wall for yet another time. He began to pant heavily. Should this carnage continue Mitha'lo will surely lose.
"I suppose this is how you fought in Setek?" Mitha'lo asked as he pushed himself off the wall. As best he could the student ran in the direction of the fire arrows. He would fire off his last wind bullet a few degrees off from Dusty. "It wouldn't be a surprise why the city got ruined if that is so. Sneaky tricks and shit." Suddenly Mitha'lo's aura began to flare up. The tarnished-gold coloration hovered around the boy. If Dusty was in his presence, he'd feel a wave of mixed emotions come over him thanks to the strange nature of Mit's aura.

"Well, technically," Dusty replied as Mitha'lo was recovering from the explosive arrows tossing him back, "You were turning your weapon against yourself. Clones are weird like that." The young archer wrapped a hand around one of his Glass bottles hanging from his bandolier, his muscles tense and ready to react. His other hand tapped away on his bracer, readying an Earth arrow as he devised another strategy. He needed to end this before the older boy got his site back.
"The city might have been destroyed, but it was hardly my own fault," Dusty protested. His tense muscles reacted as soon as Mitha'lo started running at him and he tossed the Glass bottle on the ground, creating a large glass shield in front of him. "There was a giant snake that we were fighting and when it exploded, I got covered in its goo. Do you know how long it took me to finally get my jacket clean?" He drew his Earth arrow, spinning the golden projectile around in his hand before slamming it into the shield, making a large earth pillar shoot out of the other side towards Mitha'lo. The archer quickly leapt up and over the shield, landing on the pillar and running along it towards the older boy before jumping towards him and attempting to hit him with a quick series of slashes as the pillar tried to slam into Mitha'lo's chest.

Mitha'lo would suck his teeth as Dusty made a quick come back regarding his 'dirty trick'. It seemed Mitha'lo's skills at trash talking and getting his opponents riled up were lacking. As the distance between Mitha'lo and the earthy pillar rapidly closed, he quickly went into his ammo pouch and pulled out a Fire Dust clip. This feels like Fire. Mostly what I have left. As he locked the rounds into the chamber the sudden impact of a blade hit him. Within that moment Mitha'lo opened his blinded eyes. He didn't care how blind he was and how useless it was. At this point, trying to intimidate and explore every avenue to tip the fight were as important as the combat. Mitha'lo bore his teeth in anger as he rose his blade to deflect as many incoming attacks as he could.
The more important step for Mitha'lo was closing the distance between the two of them. Dusty was an archer. This match was in his favor thanks to several factors. However he just had to stop Dusty's movements; stun or daze him even! And in an attempt to do so Mitha'lo took a swift side step; which also increased his chances of avoiding the on-coming pillar. In the process of doing so he'd reach around using his right arm to grapple what he could only think was Dusty's left arm. If he managed grab onto it, Mitha'lo would immediately lock his mechanical arm around the boy's limb, applying 70 pounds of pressure to Dusty. And should that have be successful Mitha'lo would point Rend towards the ground in front of him to fire off 5 Fire Dust rounds.

Dusty grit his teeth as Mitha'lo dodged past the incoming pillar and gripped down on his arm with his metal hand. The pressure kept him locked in the older boy's grip and jerked him off of the pillar. He lifted up his Aura's defenses just as Mitha'lo began firing down at the ground. The explosions enveloped the young archer for a moment and caused some damage to him, but he managed to stay standing. And still locked in Mitha'lo's grip. "D-damn. You trying to turn me into roasted Dusty?" he said, managing a smirk. In his free hand, he flipped Leagtha around and aimed a punch at the older boy's nose before stabbing the knife down at Mitha'lo's exposed inner elbow on his mechanical arm. If it was robotic, then likely he could jam up and break the gears in it. If he hit it, he would push down farther with the blade and twist it, hopefully breaking the arm and freeing his hand. He finished with bringing up his right foot in a kick aimed at Mitha'lo's chin.

Mitha'lo groaned at Dusty's attempts to make light of the situation they found themselves in. Something about joking around at his point in the match seemed disrespectful to the student. He was giving it his all, working with a disadvantage, and Dusty is trying to laugh it off. It bothered Mitha'lo for sure. And to add to this already displeasure came the swift punch to Mitha'lo's nose. The impact was strong and caused Mitha'lo to jerk Dusty in retaliation. An audible "Gaw!" came from Mitha'lo's lips. Even in his anger Mitha'lo suspected a second attack to come after the first; Dusty proved that himself. Throughout the whole fight, there was always two. Two Dusts types, two arrows, or two opponents ambushing him. Unable to focus on one area to protect, Mit brought up his aura to cover his entire body. The layer of protection flared up in addition to his pale golden aura. And as Dusty's blade came down and hit against the aura covered metal, the blinded fighter pulled Dusty in until their chests were pressed together. In doing so, he aimed to pinch the blade between their chests, disabling Dusty's use of the weapon. Mit silently grunted as Dusty brought his foot up to kick him.
Due to the lack of a gap between the two fighters, Mitha'lo would have caught the kick on his lower body. Using his best judgement, Mitha'lo would take the chance to step forward and wrap his right leg around Dusty's left leg. During this action, Mit would simultaneously plant Rend into the ground like a cane. After which he'd reach between their body's to grab hold of Dusty's free wrist; attempting to twist it and force the boy to drop his weapon. Proceeding this would be a series of six headbutts from Mitha'lo as he tried to pull his opponent down to the left side, making Mitha'lo's arm the dominating force by being on top.
