Description: Didn't Munin already have to go up against a blind fighter? Somebody really seems to want to push the whole "shadows" thing a bit more than necessary. Regardless, the dangerous girl's fanboy has given her another chance to go toe to toe with someone who sees the world a bit differently! The warehouse is well-lit with tons of shelves and wooden crates containing all manner of merchandise. As everyone knows, Saturday Night Fight viewers LOVE a good show of destruction...
A warehouse? Most interesting, Munin thought when she got word of her match. Course, when she read about her opponent, she rolled her eyes. ANOTHER blind fighter. ANOTHER spoof on her.... techniques.
Well, Fuji is nice enough, and maybe, just maybe, Munin won't be totally destroyed by this one.
Walking down the isle of the warehouse, she takes note of the boxes and objects on the shelf, almost seeming to be more interested in them and their contents than the fight shes come for! She does something of a double-take at some of the items she does come across.
Some are rather priceless, which boggles her mind a bit, considering the amount of damage that is potentially going to be done! If not for the fact it would likely get her in trouble, she would keep one or two to sell for a lil extra spending money.
Regardless, she continues on her way, keeping a lookout for her mysterious, visually impaired opponent. She decided to try to have a bit of fun, and has done no research on her opponent or her past matches. So she may be suprised very quickly
The sounds of a tap, tap, tap is heard throughout the warehouse.
Raoghnailt hasn't been in a fight for a long time. Her keepers, the various Misters and Misses of a rainbow of colors. Tonight was the tall Mr. Green to escort her to the Saturday Night Fight. Raoghnailt didn't understand why she was going to a video-taped fight. But if it is what Urien wants, then the blind lass will be happy to oblige. Mr. Green watches the fight through the video feed, as his ward walks through the warehouse, heading towards Munin's position.
By the time she rounds the corner, Munin can see the robed woman, sweeping the ground before her with a seeing-eye cane.
"Hello!" Raoghnailt pipes up in a light scottish brogue, sing-songing merrily as she taps the ground before her. Her robes billowing slightly, she keeps turning her head from side to side, smiling briskly. "You must be Munin! You are interesting. I heard we are in a warehouse! What is in our aisle? Are we in an aisle? I don't like fighting indoors, this place feels... off..." Raoghnailt seemed to be rambling on, in a vapid tone. Tapping along with her cane, Munin may find that this strange blind fighter was even more unusual that Fuji... and perhaps even weaker.
On the other hand, she seemed to know right where Munin was.
(Least she seems friendly....) Munin thinks to herself
She stands in a relaxed position, hands on her weapons hilts to draw when ready, sizing up her opposition. She knows better than to judge by looks anymore. She's seen enough already to know anything is possible....
Just look at Vega.
Her tone is even, and though not unfriendly, a bit reserved "I am indeed. My apologies, but i was not quite sure how to pronounce your name when i read it... and we are indeed. We aren't in an isle. This is one of the sides. As for the contents, there are some very valuable things in here. Whoever set this up has deep pockets, and a sick sense of humor".
Fuji also knew where she was without prompting, so it is no suprise this lass can as well. If she can fight, finding someone in a room would be childs play, after all.
How to pronounce her name?
Raoghnailt just giggles. "It was always annoying when I was in Scotland. The name is pronounced Ray-Nay! I used to joke that you just read it as it is spelt!" Tittering, she covers her mouth. "Deep pockets? Why, this place must be loaded! Maybe we could take a few things, instead of breaking them. Will you help me smuggle some under my robes?"
Suddenly, she tilts her head, putting a hand to her ear.
"Oh, foo. Mr. Green says I need to stop making nice with you, and start fighting. Uuuuugh." The groan of frustration, followed by the stamp of the foot, contrasted with the shadow warrior. "Okay, we can talk about taking the stuff later. Lets make it a fun fight! I haven't experience shadow energy before. It feels so strange." The red-haired woman pauses, before opening her stance, raising her cane up. There wasn't much chi flowing through in the room. She couldn't feel it. But, before Munin's eyes, she could see that the cane was beginning to light up with a blue, ethereal aura. Smiling, Raoghnailt's stance was open, with her arms spread to each side. The next question comes with that same cheerful, vapid tone.
"Are you augmented?"

"Actually, i was considering the idea myself. Whoever set this up would likely require taken items of that value returned, sadly, so not worth the effort....". She draws her weapons "With this kind of terrain, i imagine it can't NOT be fun". She does indeed note the weapon glowing, her own weapons glowing with a dark violet-black shadowy mist.
At being asked if she's augmented, her tone gets a bit flat as she replies "I simply am what i am".
With that, she comes in with what looks like an overhead attack. When she gets close, before striking, she abruptly swings both weapons in a downwards arc, but it's strange.
She swung too early!
She hops back before a counter attack can be made, smirking. Theres a sudden crack, and the legs of the isle next to Rao fall, cleanly cut. The entire section of the shelf facing her falls, causing their contents to slide with gravity, right towards the blind fighter!
Munin, meanwhile, waits to see what effect this has....

"But what are you?"
Raoghnailt seems to hold her odd, open stance, turning her head side to side. She was feeling the thin chi of the room, bitterly hating the artificial presence. "But it doesn't make sense. If we break it, it is okay, but if we take it is wrong? If it garbage, what does it matter?" As Munin finally lunges in, the test of Raoghnailt's reflexes seem to work. As she slashes, Raoghnailt throws up her guard, attemping to parry the potential attack with her cane. As nothing comes, the red-haired woman lets loose a 'hmph.' When the crack comes, though, Munin might notice that Raoghnailt doesn't react immediately. Only when it begins to topple over, does the woman suddenly pout.
"Oh dear."
The entire aisle comes crashing down on the poor blind girl, who simply draws into a ball. The various crates and boxes begins to hammer around her... while others simply seems to hover in the air, as a thin light begins to shine around her. And just as suddenly, debris explodes outwards. A flash of bluish-white chi erupts from around the woman, scattering the box and debris smashing hard into wall and nearby aisle. Where there was shadow, there was now light. And Raoghnailt, ablaze with energy, stands tall of the fallout, smiling warmly.
"You are cunning!"

Raoghnailt 0/-------/-----==|=------\-------\0 Munin
Blink! You can almost hear Munins eyes doing this as all the objects are sent flying her way!
Franticly, she tries to slice stop or rend objects as they fly at her, in the hopes of preventing damage to herself! Sadly, she is unable to cut through the large wooden box lid, which sends her flying off her feet and into the wall! With a wince, she tries to climb out of the pile of debris around her, which takes logner than she is happy with... (Well THAT didn't work as planned.... )
And delicately, Raoghnailt slowly picks her way out of the fallout.
Tap, tap, tap. Raoghnailt works her way carefully through the scattered pieces, carefully walking around the pieces. For a fighter that blasted back an entire landslide, she was fairly clumsy... and unmobile. And slowly zeroing in on Munin. "You are fun to fight! I haven't fought in a long time." Rambling on, the spacy red head approaches Munin, winding back her cane slowly. "Do you use a sword? Or do you cut things with shadows. I cut things with my cane!"
"Let me show you!"
Slashing the cane as Munin rises up, the cane itself is hardly a threat, nothing more than a skin-welt in terms of damage. The blue-white energy, however, is bone-cuttingly sharp. Able to tear through steel, the energy would certainly cause Munin some trouble...
That is, unleash she could dodge a blind girl.

The darn thing is heavy! Munin, alas, is not physicly all THAT strong in many cases, just fast and coordinated. She gets the thing up just enough, and leaps as Rao swings her weapon!
She lands a few feet away, and winces suddenly as a gash appears in her side in a red burst. Turning to face the blind girl, Munin frowns "I use a pair of swords, actually.... " (For now...).
"Let me show you them.....". She then comes in with a pair of stabs, one aimed at the stomach, the other at the chest with almost surgical precision!

As the energy cane tears through Raoghnailt, the woman frowns. "Are you okay? If I am pushing you too far, just tell me! I sometimes forget my own strength!" Raoghnailt recovers slowly, almost clumsily. Munin had more than an opening; she had a thousand openings. Raoghnailt isn't even looking at the shadow fighter as she comes launching in...
And then, Raoghnailt raises a hand.
Munin feels herself slowing down as she approaches the women. The air was growing thicker, as she was cutting through a fog of tapioca. It does not stop it cold, naturally. But as Raoghnailt swings her cane around, she deflects both of the blades clumsily, one only releasing a glancing blow on the hips, while the other ultimately driving into her arm. And to that, Raoghnailt squeaks. "Eek! Ow!" She whimpers, shuddering as she pulls away from the weapon. Releasing the cane, the tool hangs from her wrist on a strap, as she reaches out to touch the shadow-laced weapon gingerly.
And slowly begins to draw off the shadow chi.
"That really hurt! I don't like weapons like swords." Absorbing away some of Munin's chi, the celtic mystic forces a smile, still wincing from the pain. "But I like your energy. But it is dirty, as if it is running against your natural aura. I am going to play around with it, and see what I can make of it." Pushing the sword out, she raises the wounded arm up. Shadowy chi swims in her hands now, licking around her body as she begins to trace a strange sigil out of the chi in the air between the two. "Tell me how it feels for you!" She exclaims, before tapping the sigil once.
And promptly, an explosive cloud of shadowy chi flares out.

Munin tilts her head as she slows. THAT isn't normal! She DOES manage some damage though. She gives no thought to the reaction of pain. (Such is life....).
At mention of her chi being 'dirty', and the girls probing about her abilities and their origins, she clams up, even gets a little annoyed, though avoids showing it as much as possible.
Bad memories.
She gets even more confused when the large sigil appears, but puts two and two together very fast. She leaps up into the air, a chi-illusion left where she was standing to take the hit, and potentially confuse any chi-sense the blind lass has, swinging both weapons like a large pair of scissors, aimed at either side of Raos head as she flies past overhead! The attack didn't work so well against Shun. Maybe it'll work better here..... ?

The blast of shadow erupts out, Raoghnailt mewling as she tries it out. "Amazing! Shadow chi is interesting. Did you know that I embody the light?" Raoghnailt doesn't seem that phased that the blast had missed. Oddly enough, the woman's aura seems to cast out the shadow, as the blast comes out. "I am a special girl. I like being special. You are special too!" Humming a song to herself, she turns slightly, letting herself stand between the two Munins. Holding her hands out, she tries to reach out. Munin finds herself in the same strange field, slowing her down as she comes in... as well as the illusion. As the light begins to flicker, the woman reaches out to both the real Munin and the fake, taking the hit cleanly to the torso...
And begins to drain away both.
Raoghnailt's aura begins to build, the shadows beginning to intermingle with her light field. The illusionary copy is consumed by the woman, While Raoghnailt begins to turn towards the real Munin, smiling as she winces. "Ow! Ow! That hurt. But I forgive you!" Lowering her hand, the red-haired maiden attempt hold Munin with her free hand... and then grab her with the other hand. The draining becomes more aggressive as Raoghnailt attempts to tap into her aura. The waif attempts to force Munin to the ground, pinning her down as she tries to draining her chi....
And empower herself.

This is getting veeeery strange indeed. It is completely throwing Munin off her game. As she adjusts to the slowdown, she's caught thinking too much and not reacting enough! She tries to dodge a moment too late, and goes down hard, grunting from the draining. However, it doesn't seem to phase her being drained, strangely enough.
The impact with the floor, however, has a LARGE effect. Pain being the most notable of those. However, being in such close proximity, she quickly tries to turn the tables, grabbing at the arm draining her, and attempting to toss the celtic lass into the shelves and all the potentially sharp objects along it! She makes no verbal response, trying to not be distracted.

Raoghnailt draws off Munin's aura, drawing out more and more of the shadow chi. "You are like a well of energy! How impressive! We should be friends." She says, smiling. The strange thing, though, is her tone and her grin. They were not mocking, cynical jeers, but true warmth and kindness. She really was this happy, this optimistic.
And this unphazed leeching away her essence.
As she pushes down on Munin, she tilts her head. "Are you a natural? Are you augmented? Oh! Oh! Are you NESTS?" Raoghnailt suddenly digs her nails down. "I don't like NESTS. THey are mean. They are impure!" As she grows darker... she is suddenly hurled by Munin. Squealing as she flies through the air. Spinning through the air, she is beelining it right for the shelves...
And promptly stops in the air.
As if a pillow had appeared behind her, the woman had hung in the air, just short of the shelves. Gently floating back down, the woman was enveloped in the shadows, her cheery demeanor piercing through. unfortunately, she lands with a bump right on the ground. Rising up, she rubs her bottom, wincing. "You stopped talking. Am I bothering you? I'm sorry if I hurt you, but I am interested in how you work. I like your energy." Raising her arms above her head, she grabs the cane handle. Armed again, she uses her other hand, and adjusts her blindfold. "I am almost ready to use your energy!" She pipes up.
"But please talk to me, I like talking."

Munin twists in Raos grip, trying to get free. However, then a mistake is made, seemingly.
Rao asks if she's NESTS.
Her eyes flash briefly, and she all but snarls in response "They deserve to all die....". Her tone is low and threatening, though the hostility is clearly not aimed at her opponent specificly.
Standing up after the throw, she narrows her now more brightly-glowing violet eyes, frowning deeply. This is not going so well..... "I don't mind talking, i'm simply trying to focus on fighting you. Doing one...." she speeds in sideways "... can be distracting..." she slides quickly across the front of her target "... from doing the other!". She makes one swing with a weapon, low, at the legs!

"Yes!"
That was Raoghnailt's response to Munin's hissing. "They do deserve to die!" She pipes up in a chipper brouge. Holding steady, she lets herself feel as a conduct to the surrounding chi. "Focusing is a good thing. I am focusing now. I like talking because it keeps me aware of everything." She rambles singsong. Feeling Munin roaring in, the shadow ninja reaches the field again, slowing her down as Raoghnailt attempts another slow, steady sweep with her cane. Like before, however, the cut comes. Hitting Raoghnailt with another glancing wound, the mystic seems incapable of simply parrying the strikes. Standing tall above the woman, Raoghnailt doesn't look down as she raises a hand forward. "The energy wants me to do this... tell me if this is like you!" Sweeping her hand, the stolen chi begins to erupt outwards...
And darkness consumes the building.
THe lights are choked out by the shadowy chi, as Raoghnailt and Munin both are smothered in the darkness. The shelves and crates seem to rattle as the field of shadow envelopes the pair. Munin may feel a prickling around her as she feels... that Raoghnailt was trying something in the darkness.
And something was trying to ensnare her in the shadows.

Munin eyes the darkness incoming. This is her OWN technique, in a way!
However, she knows well what it means!
When the attack comes, she isn't there to be struck by it, whatever it is she is unable to see. When the darkness fades, however, so has she!
Not that it matters much to this particular opponent, but leaping straight up is very frequently a clear opening! As the darkness fades, two glowing, dangerously narrowed eyes can be seen by the cameras above her, coming in fast from above with both weapons through the last haze of the darkness! Gravity lends extra weight to the strike!

What comes is readily apparent as the darkness collapses on itself to a singularity, where Raoghnailt stands above it, weaving the shadow chi into a bound sigil. As the darkness grows tighter and tighter... she holds the sigil over the shadow. Tapping it with one hand, she unleashes the energy into a shockwave, tearing through the warehouse, toppling the nearest aisles away. Smiling, Raoghnailt tilts her head. "But... how did you escape the darkness?"
And suddenly she raises her hand up above her head.
Munin begins to slow down as she drops onto Raoghnailt, the celtic mystic beginning to draw out another sigil with the remaining shadow energy. Munin slows down more and more... until she unleashes her slash. Tearing into Raoghnailt's shoulder, the woman's arm bleeds, nearly throwing off the sigil. Munin, however, stops falling, the strange field sustaining her in the air... and right above the sigil. Raoghnailt begins to finish the sigil, before finally looking up, a smile on her face. "There you are!" She exclaims, before tapping the sigil.
And finally, the explosion of energy blasts upwards, consuming Munin in both light and shadow.
With a shout of pain, Munin is sent flying by the blast, crashing into shelves and destroying valuable relics and artifacts, some of which shatter on impact and make nice shrapnal.
Finally dropping to the floor in a bleeding heap, she pulls herself to her feet, coughing up a bit of blood, but smirking "You really think i wouldnt know how that trick worked? Give me more credit here....". She takes a few breaths, trying to get her bearings back "If you use someones moves, or a semblence of someones moves, it won't work so well, since like a magician they know the trick already, and how it works".

Taking heavy, deep breaths, the woman seems to be... exhausted. Very fatigued. THe last attack seems to have taken a great deal out of her. As Munin is blasted away, the mystic moves her cane around, and starts to rub her wounds. The shadow chi all but used up, the strange blue-white chi begins to burn at her wounds, glowing bright as she begins to recover. And as Raoghnailt challenges her on using the darkness for such an obvious trick...
Raoghnailt adjusts her blindfold.
"You know, that is a good point!" She exclaims, considering carefully. As Munin takes a break, Raoghnailt seems to do the same. "I should be more creative next time. But it was so amazing! I have encountered foul, evil energy before, but that was not evil! It is just like my energy. The light... and the shadow really are the same! Of course, you can't have shadow without light... or is that light without shadow?" The woman mulls about that, leaning on her cane, catching her breath.
It seems that those energy blasts were incredibly draining for the woman....

Munin doesn't waste the opening. "That... is the eternally unanswered question..." is her only response. After this, she is in on her again, coming in from the side. She doesn't bother with the illusions, since being blind, they will have minimal response. Haven't worked so far anyway.
Once she's in range, however, she stops. Instead of slashing, he emits a huge burst of chi from her eyes at point blank range!

Raoghnailt is already grinning as Munin surges back. "More energy? Yes please!" Reaching a hand out, she seems to be bracing for the oncoming sword, the aura already slowing Munin down as she closes in. The cane is ready to sweep in place to parry the cut... the would not come. As the burst of chi erupts from her eyes, Raoghnailt raises her hand, attempting to catch it with her palm. Smiling sweetly, she begins to draw off the energy.... until the smile fades.
"Hot! Oh! Too wild!"
Raoghnailt suddenly seems to recoil in pain as the shadow chi seems to rip over her, blasting back with both shadow... and light. Whipping wildly, the mystic suddenly sobs, the energy striking her in the face. Covering her nose, she stumbles back. Panicking, she sweeps her cane around, cutting the air before her wildly. Whimpering. "I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" She cries out. It seems that, while a natural with chi, she didn't have complete control over it.
But what was she sorry for?

Munin moves in! She moves one weapon down to block while attacking with the other! Then, it happens....
The cane CUTS THROUGH THE SWORD!
Course, this suprises Munin enough that she can make no move to react as the strike impacts her dead on, sending her flying once more. The upper half of the blade meanwhile clatters to the cement floor, while she's left holding a pommel and a broken lower shaft, which she stares at in shock.
Finally, Raoghnailt purges the dark energy... and wonders what happened to Munin. "What happened?" She exclaims, tilting her head. "Are you okay? Oh, maybe I am winning!" The woman titters, giggling a bit. "I like you! Do you drink? If Mr. Green lets me, we could go clubbing!" The chi mystic trills happily, almost bounding towards Munin... until she stumbles. Shifting back to her walk, she sweeps the cane from side to side, closing back onto Munin.
"But first, I must win!"
Reaching a hand out, she begins to lower down towards Munin, reaching for that stunned arm clutching the pommel. Aiming for the wrist, she tries to clamp down a soft hand on what must be a pressure point... judging by the shadow chi erupting out. While the leech might not hurt Munin as much... the wrist lock might end up disabling that hand for the rest of the match.
And giving Raoghnailt more chi to work with.

Munin looks from her broken weapon to her opponent, then back to the weapon.... She's had these swords since... well, a long time. Now, one is destroyed. Maybe it's fate. She HAS been working on a theoretical new combat technique, so maybe this is just a clue to finish it.
As Rao approaches, she frowns, her resolve steeling. She throws the broken blade, sharp-edge first, unfortunately unable to do so before being thrown, but it offs the throw just enough to let her land without taking as much injury as she normally would have!
As she pulls herself to her feet, she eyes her opponent "Maybe.... after the match.... just maybe....".
"OW OW OW!"
Raoghnailt's leeching attempt is suddenly, and somewhat violently, interrupted as Munin suddenly suckerpunches her with the broken hilt. Right on the nose. Grabbing the nose, a trickle of blood runs from it, as Raoghnailt begins to hyperventilate. "My nose! I think you cut it, or broke it! Oh my- It's really bleeding! Why! That's was mean! Oooh." Raoghnailt stamps her foot, before facing at Munin, tears streaming from under her blindfold.
"I'll show you!"
Lunging deeply forward, she grips the cane as if it was a spear. Thrusting hard, the woman's fury seems to be driving her into running down Munin. Trying to impale her on the energized cane, her face was bright red.
Looks like Raoghnailt lost her temper

Munin stands resolute. Blood drips freely where she's been injured, eyes blaze with purple light, and black chi mixed with violet haze drifts off her form like mist. Her remaining sword is clenched in her hand, her grip shifting and tightening in anticipation......
Her form then begins to shimmer and shift, like a mirage in the desert. Her chi presence seems to almost... cease to exist, then be there. Like a blip on a radar screen appearing and disappearing consistantly.
As Rao strikes, Munin doesn't move! When it impacts, there's some slight resistance, but otherwise like striking through a sheet of paper, only made of chi. Chi which fades as the illusion disperses.
Meanwhile, from behind Rao, Munin suddenly appears, jabbing her through the abdoman with the remaining blade as hard and with as much careful placement as she can manage!
And her aura disappears.
For a moment, Raoghnailt truly felt blind; she couldn't understand where she went. But then, it hits her... from behind. Raoghnailt gasps, grabbing her torso. Blood pours out of her mouth, and Raoghnailt whimpers in pain.
And quietly, she begins to draw a sigil.
Drawing it out in front of her, she crafts the larger, intricate sigil. Woven with celtic knots and arcane patterns, it begins to glow brighter and brighter. "I am... marking this for you..." Raoghnailt mutters softly, whimpering in pain. "I won't have much fight in me after this... forgive me, but I don't think I like you anymore, and we won't be having drinks..." %R
And then she taps it.
The sigil erupts into a wide corona, a blinding light that fills the room. The rays of the great sun-like effigy tears into the roof and shelves, raking all around. The blast of the sun begins to expand, consuming Raoghnailt in the eruption as it explodes into a supernova...
Threatening to consume Munin into the fallout zone as well.

She mutters to herself, sensing Munin surging towards her. Tears streaming down her blindfold, she struggles, whirling. the cane around.
And with a smooth motion, she parries the sword.
Pushing it aside, she lets it drive into the hard warehouse ground. Raising a hand up she hastily draws a sigil, using her own pale chi. "No... no!" She mutters, turning far paler than before. Touching the hastily crafted sigil, her body strains as the energy erupts out in a thin laser...

Raoghnailt was struggling to keep conscious. These last bursts of energy were pushing her to the limits. Body burning and bleeding like a stuck pig, the last blast takes the wind clear out of her. Gasping for air, she struggles, groaning as Munin, despite the hole in her chest, still manages to hurl something at her. Raoghnailt tucks into a ball, and with a last effort, an aura of white light bursts around her, knocking the thrown weapon high into the air... and into the ceiling. Raoghnailt was, for all matters, conscious.
And what is the face of victory?
Sobbing.
Raoghnailt continues to sob, curled in a ball. As the medical team rushes into the warehouse, Mr. Green directs them towards Munin, not Raoghnailt. The grim looking Norwegian lowers down, to throw the nearly dying Raoghnailt over his shoulder. Munin would be treated now.
Raoghnailt would have to wait for G-Project doctors.
