Round 1: Harrison Hammond vs. Kimply Huffman

Harrison walked onto the rainforest and saw the vast amount of plants and trees. 'So much unneeded plant life, really puts a restraint on attacking. But it's very easy to move on." He didn't wear his armour since in this instance it would only weigh him down and he chose to use his scythe as his weapon but kept it as his belt buckle for now. For this fight he needed to play cautious since he doesn't know what kind of insane gift she could have, like instant death touch or paralysis. "Lets get started shall we?"

Kimply nervously fiddled with the bow in her hands, waiting for the match to start. They were in the rainforest. This was actually ideal for her, and as soon as the simulation started, she began to formulate a plan like a true Winter. She studied her competition. He had a scythe at his side, and she hoped that meant he relied on close combat. That would play to her advantage if it was true. Still, he looked like he could be trouble, so she wouldn't be taking any chances anyway. While they waited, Kimply studied Harrison, as the more she could tell about him, the easier it would be to locate him and understand how he moved.

Once the match began, Kimply pulled an arrow from her quiver, sent Harrison a sly wink, before running off, quickly disappearing into the brush.

In her mind, the simulation lay ahead of her like a map, with him as a dot and with her as a dot. She could see everywhere he moved, and would be waiting for him, arrow set but still loose, ready for her to draw it back and shoot as soon as she was ready.

And she knew she wouldn't miss.

As the match started Harrison stood still and watched clearly as Kimply simply pull an arrow and disappear into a bush magically. Seeing the bow and arrow it was obvious that she would try and fight at a distance. He prepared himself so that he would be able to teleport himself up at the sound of a a release. He figured that since she left either she wants me to follow and go into a trap or she is trying to find a place to shoot at my blind spot. Hearing all types of sound coming from the rainforest he closed his eyes to hear that one faint unnatural sound of an arrow.

He teleported himself into the air and quickly looked around for a branch of some sort to stand on. Spotting one hanging of one of the towering trees he teleported himself over. After looking at the arrow where Harrison used to be he spotted the archer. He moved his index and middle finger together, placed it on his temple and waved. "Is that it?" He still had no clue what her power was and expected that arrow to be able to damage him regardless of the teleportation. Harrison played it safe until he figured out her gift. 'This time, lets follow.' Waiting on her move he held his scythe tightly. He payed no attention to the tiny cut on his face due to the arrow.

Kimply had been waiting for him to follow, sure. Once he appeared she'd be ready, and would surprise him. She never expected him to teleport himself over. Cursing under her breath, she shot the arrow in his direction, but she had been caught off guard by him just appearing there. Fuck. He held the arrow in his hand, studying it as if he was unimpressed. "Don't worry, there's more where that came from." She called back, pulling another arrow.

Her mind was racing. He could teleport. She wasn't sure if that was the full force of his power, but it definitely made things more interesting for her. She'd still know where he was, she'd just have to act quicker. A plan. She needed a new plan. For now, they were caught in a staring match.

She raised her bow, shooting out the branch underneath Harrison's feet, causing it to break and tumble to the ground, hopefully him along with it. She'd work from there.

Harrison dropped the arrow to the floor as he watched for the next move. Predictable enough she shot at Harrison but he simply teleported to another branch nearby although it was smaller than the last it held him for what he needed to do. 'What is she doing?' Impressed at the accuracy of the shot but unimpressed at the predictability. He really wished it would be like trick arrows where they would explode or put up a puff of smoke but there are not many gifts that can do that. "If that's it I'm going then." Jumping off the branch and breaking it due to the weight, he teleported himself closer but not directly in front of her. Just enough so that he could adapt to the new surrounding and attack Kimply. 'Come on Show me your gift.'

Fine. Apparently, drawing her arrow gave him too much time to teleport out of the way. It wouldn't do much to actually hurt him. Still, she didn't want him to get too comfortable, and maybe she could tire him out. And if he teleported too close, she could handle a fight. The cold pressure of metal between her ankles reminded her of the knives she kept, just in case her bow did nothing for her. Such as an instance like this.

She shot multiple arrows into the clearing, anywhere he landed she was ready, not giving him a moment to rest. The longer she spent with him, the more time she had to understand the way he moved, the better she was getting at sensing him and figuring out his attacks. Her arrows were becoming more and more accurate, as if she could sense what he was going to do before he even did it.

Landing in the clearing and looking forward he was already met with an attack. Harrison avoided the attack and continued to attack. He was dumbfounded at the accuracy of the shots. He tried to stop moving to avoid the next attack but she shot at where he stood still where he barely ducked down in time and got cut in his shoulder. "Huh, I guess that's something" 'Future telling? Prediction something? Sure beats just fighting someone with a bow.'

Focusing hard on where she stood he arranged his head so that he would be able to cope with the new surrounds that he would be in two teleports. Harrison ran forward teleported once then swung his scythe at the air and was caught by another shot near his waist but before his swing ended he teleported next to Kimply so that she would receive the attack. This was a risky move since this could very well make him trip and she could finish him off if she reacted quickly enough. He wanted to see if she could predict this teleport and attack fast enough to dodge or parry. Either if Harrison did not completely mess up then he could keep spinning for another attack since that is what the scythe was used for.

Kimply grinned as he spoke, not derailed in the least, still shooting at him. "Glad I can impress you." Once she saw him jumping up with his weapon, she realized what he was about to do. One arrow caught him in the waist before he teleported again. She was waiting for his attack, throwing her bow over her shoulder and grabbing the knives off her ankles as she moved swiftly to the side. When he appeared once again beside her, swinging down, the scythe caught her on the arm, leaving a fairly nasty cut, but if she had been in her previous position, she'd have been done for. For a moment she was disoriented from the pain, but she quickly regained her composure, reminding herself none of this was real.

Once he was there and before he could swing, she attacked quickly, aiming one knife at the side of his neck, another at his stomach, hoping he'd be unable to deflect at least one of the attacks. She worried about the scythe, but it was more of a long range weapon, and now she was in his space, so she assumed it would be harder to maneuver.

Kimply having knives was pretty predictable due to the capabilities of a bow in close range. Although her predicting that teleport was still something Harrison couldn't quite grasp. After landing the blow he was met with two attacks. Pulling back the weapon and using the stem to block the attack to his neck and couldn't quite dodge the other attack leaving another deeper mark on his stomach. 'Shit, I'm getting to cocky with with fortune teller girl. Oh well.' Standing back to take a breather he threw his scythe to the floor mid way from Kimply to Harrison and off to the side. If the opponent is using knives using something like a scythe in a dense forest would be a strict disadvantage. Wing Chun, a martial art he practice in the case he had lost a weapon and still needed to fight. 'Block, redirect, attack. Block, redirect, attack.' Looking at the floor to have a steady foothold. Putting up a stance and running at her he prepared. He didn't plan to do the first move, all he needed was for her to attack and get destroyed. He kept the scythe in mind just in case everything goes south. 'Prediction doesn't always mean you can win. Just create a situation where you can't lose.

Kimply wasn't surprised that one of her attacks missed. His reflexes were admirable, and it made it an even fight. When he threw down his scythe, she prepared herself for a fight. Her left arm was slightly weaker, and she could feel a second heartbeat pulse from her wound. Still, adrenaline was putting it in the back of her mind.

Kimply's power was in defense, in her ability to predict an attack and dodge it. When he ran towards her, she prepared for an attack, and when he got close enough without one coming, she narrowed her eyes. Stepping to the side and moving out of the way, she kicked out, hoping to catch him by the ankle and bring him tumbling to the ground. Still, she refrained from attacking just yet.

As Harrison closed in he realized that she wasn't going to make a first move. Instead of just stopping in front of her and waiting for her to strike he was going to try another teleport jump. 'Hopefully this plan works. Either way i still have that backup.' While still running he leaped at the air and punched for ward then teleported behind Kimply to try and get her by surprise. He teleported himself to her back but miscalculated and only punched at thin air. Realizing he forgot to turn around instead punched at the space behind he quickly did a tumble to catch himself and faced back at her. "You didn't see that." Holding his stance once more he turned. The pain from the two hits on his stomach was evident but manageable. He hoped she would attack quickly and rush it but, how this fight was going, it didn't seem like she was that type of person.

So her attempt at tripping him did nothing, but as he teleported behind her she swung around, only to watch him punch at thin air. She let out a surprised laugh, smirking. "You get one pass for a stupid move, and you just used it. Next time I won't be so nice." She sent him a wink, spinning one of her knives in her hand. To be fair, Kimply could have used that opportunity to stab him in the back, and probably finish this off, but she wasn't that mean. A fair fight was a fair fight, even between two super humans.

Getting back to business, she studied him, paying attention to the fact that he didn't attack first. It was a smart move, since while the first hit was powerful, the first attack was often dodged anyway. She refrained from making the first move, holding her daggers out, waiting.

She considered her options. She could always run again, but that would weaken her defenses for a moment, and he had found her before anyway. That would be her best option. They were in a jungle and she wasn't even making proper use of the coverage offered to her. She could handle a hand on hand fight, but Harrison seemed to have some trick up his sleeve, and she preferred to play it safe. They were going to play this her way.

She darted forward, looking as though she was going to attack, but all she did was throw one of her knives at his foot, hard. That should slow him down. Quickly, she made her way out of the clearing, disappearing into the brush once again, making sure to stay quiet this time, lest he somehow find her again. "Care for a game of hide and seek?" She called out before she was gone.
