If his metals were being nicrobursted, and leeched at the same time, the effects should cancel each other our. Also, how did he activate them, without touching them?

They'd synergize actually, Nicrobursting Chromium would cause most Investiture to be drained, Nicrosil would also cause it all to be drained, just also expending its effect at the same time.

I was saying that we would hit you in 60ms which is faster than a human can possibly respond to sound, and you're responding to vision, which puts you maximum response time at 100ms, unless you have some form of perception enhancement.

Quote

Just a note that at these kinds of speeds you're going to start hitting issues with steel. Especially if you want to use a melee weapon.

Never forget Newtons third law.

So, because of this, do we just restart at the point where Walker got his stuff drained and forget the super-run attack? (this is also to Darth)

I would go down the rabbit hole of, would 1 step back affect the time enough for him to responds, but hem I'd have to go down the rabbit hole of, would Walker going that fast cause him to go spalt against air. I mean, I will probably go down those on my own time, but not for now.

Also, Walker was using the nicroburst effect to got his fast.

Walker stopped, his speed depleted, but he threw his Katana before he stopped. It broke through the cadmium buble, the blade cracking slightly, but holding true. It held its dejectory, moving directly towards Lusks's heart.

Sure.

What’s going on, what’s going on? The Cadmium bubble meant whatever was happening outside happened faster. Throwing a bendalloy-cube bubble down to counter the Cadmium, he managed to see Walker slow down and throw his katana at Lusk.

Fliching back and putting his hands in front of him, Lusk cracked open an eye to see the blade moving towards him, slowly. Ah. Since he’d put down a bendalloy bubble over the Cadmium bubble, he could see in real time.

But since a Cadmium bubble was bigger than a bendalloy bubble, that still left a little ring of slowness which the blade was passing through now, for a few seconds.

Lusk examined the katana. Invested, was it? Taking out a leecher cube He pressed it against the flat of the sword. Not anymore. Snatching the blade from the air, he felt it’s  kinetic energy get absorbed by the bubbles before they went down.

Looking towards Walker as the bubbles collapsed, ordinary blade in hand, Lusk laid of the tapping, exiting his twenties, into his early to mid-thirties. This had been the most dangerous period of Lusk’s life. It had been when he’d been the most apt at combat, when he’d trained relentlessly.

It had been the period of his life where he’d wanted to kill his father.

Lusk’s father was long dead now, but changing back to that moment where Lusk had wanted nothing but revenge changed Lusk. He had been a master duelist, and muscle memory came back to his mind. Stances, positions, focus. His father had been a tough one to best, the training had to have been gruelling.

Muscles formed on Lusk’s body, not the artificial muscles of Investiture but real muscles, through excercise and work. This was Lusk at the peak of his combat career. Taking one look at Walker he ran, feinting a low down attack and going up high.

It wouldn't' let you hold it.It had the directive to ram through your heart, so if you grabbed it, you would have to either leech it fist, or put your hand out of the bendalloy bubble.

Walker jumped up and away from Lusk, and landed several feet away. He cut his reserves out of his wrist and downed the contents. H then downed the contents, and pushed his katana back at Lusk's face, while drawing his remaining katana out of his scabbard.

So when you say he has reserves in his wrists and he cut them out... did Walker just slit his wrists? Ouch 

Lusk swung at the Enemy, but the Enemy dodged, jumping backwards and Lusk just swung at empty space. For a little bit Combat Lusk was confused. His father had never dodged, only attacked. And all this Lusk had trained to do was fight his father.

Immediatly going back to a youth of 17, teenage Lusk flourished in the knowledge of the fight and thought on the strategy. He’s backing up and refilling on Investiture. A good tactic for someone who has a power like Steelrunning. Mr. Walker seemed to be smarter than Lusk had thought.

Suddenly Mr. Walker pushed forward with his katana and Lusk yelped, growing to 33 years and stepping into and around the blade. He was not scared. He’d gotten a cut on his cheek from the sword, but Combat Lusk knew nothing if not pain.

Stepping in to in hairslength of the Enemy, Lusk immediately threw two Harmonium cubes outward, one to the left of the Enemy and him and one to the right. They were two of the more powerful Coinshot cubes, and with one Pushing hard on either side they would crush anyone with metal on them. Lusk only had his knife, which had already been Pulled out, meaning apart from his Atium-minds he was immune to the crushing. The Enemy, however...

But that wasn’t the only thing Lusk did. Utilising his extreme close range - he hadn’t sacrificed that cut on his cheek for nothing, after all - Lusk took out another Harmonium cube and pressed it against the Enemy’s arm. As it buzzed, Lusk forced the Allomantic Tin into the Enemy. Among other things, it would enhance any pain the Enemy had gotten over the fight, including from the slit wrists.

The vials were in positions where he didn't need to actually cause to much bleeding to get them out. They're small vials positioned next to his veins.

Walker ignored the pain, as his father had taught him to do. He tried to charge forwards, to ram his remaining katana straight through Lusk's chest, while charging forwards. The cubes went off, and because he wasn't directly iin between them, he was forced forwards a high speed towards Luks, even though that fool was already so close hat Walker could have strangled him.

Ok, so there is bleeding, just not much. Got it. Also, what about the Allomantic tin?

The Enemy was fast, and their katana moved at a remarkable pace. Lusk needed to remember to get something like that later. He doubted his father would be ready to defend against a such a weapon.

Oh, wait, his father was already dead. Age Feruchemy did some things to you, some things even Lusk wasn't sure about. What other things could he do with his power? As the sword flew towards him, the misplaced harmonium cubes adding up the momentum, Lusk wondered if he could do something else, something more. Archivist Ferrings could decide what memory to store in their coppermind, they could select a specific part of their Feruchemy and use that. Bloodmaker Ferrings could decide what parts of their body to heal. Could Lusk do the same?

A newfound determination filled Lusk. This time, as Walker charged, Lusk twisted, storing up his age from his abdomen, making it old and thin and crinkly, and tapping that same age in his legs, giving them youth back to the days where he'd had to be fast, lest the bullies or the Shades got him. Fast legs from the past, skinny torso from the future. Spinning and sucking his belly in, Lusk managed to still get a long but shallow cut on his hip, though he was lucky he'd even survived that. Bringing the various parts of his body to the present, Lusk tapped Atium and sent his hands back to when he'd been a duelist, the now muscular hands (each with a single harmonium cube cupped in them) latched on to Walker's wrists with a firm grip, right where the little bleeding occurred where he'd cut himself.

And everybody knew what happened when Harmonium got wet.

BOOM!

[Darth Woodrack he/him]

Quote

Ummm... You know Walker has more health, right? Anyways.

Walker twisted around behind Lusk, and got the cubes in front of him before the blood could hit them. They then exploded and Walker felt his wrist shatter as they exploded, but since Lusk was holding them with both of his hands, and was in between Walker and the explosion, he probably was much worse off. As the bomb went off Walker had whipped out his small pot and had tried to bash it a giants Lusk’s head.

I'm sort of confused how you managed to get a pot out to hit Lusk when your wrists are shattered.

Wrist. His right was fine his left is obliterated. The healers should be able to fix it up and it not, share forearm!

The bombs were on his wrists, not just the left or right one.

If the blood didn't hit them they wouldn't have exploded.

Also, don't forget about the Allomantic tin.

The first part was a typo.

Only one would go off.

He's didn't move his wrist, but got behind you before the bombs could go off.

He just ignored it. I said that. He has felt way worse pain than that before.

 

[I think I am here. he/him]

Quote

Than tin-enhanced wrist-shattering? Ok.

Also, I don't know if that would really be a typo considering it's quoted from me...

But I think we might be miscommunicating a tad. What I meant to say in my attack was that Lusk grabbed both wrists with ettmetal, you say Walker got behind Lusk but didn't move his wrists, which makes sense, but that's still two of Walker's wrists, especially because you said how he didn't move them.

 

[Darth Woodrack he/him]

Quote

Okay, so I thought that Lusk grabbed the blessing wrist, not the perfectly fine wrist. He twisted behind him with only one wrist being held. The other wrist was spun away before he could grab it. Good?

 

[I think I am here. he/him]

Quote

Sure, which would mean the hand Lusk tried to grab it with would have survived too. I can live with that.

The ettmetal exploded.

It was a small explosion, small but concentrated. The fireball didn’t extend past Lusk’s wrist, but what it did hit it hurt bad. Lusk could feel the burn on his hand, the pain of having it blasted apart and fracture.

His left hand was fine, though. Walker’s hand had spun away before Lusk could grab it, meaning there was only one explosion. Which meant Lusk still had an ettmetal cube he could use.

Looking back, Lusk felt it’s buzz and and threw it high in the air, Lurcher-cube attempting to pull anything metal Walker had on his body upwards, such as pistols. Lusk looked at his and Walker’s hands. Suddenly, the shock wore of and blinding pain coursed through Lusk. He couldn’t make a sound, that was how painful it felt. Finding the right cubes with his remaining hand Lusk activated the the three pewter cubes and gasped as the pain dissapeared. The injury was still there, just not the pain. As a welcome side effect of the three pewter-cubes, Lusk was Also storms-strong.

Looking back he saw the pot move towards his head, but Lusk was strong. Grabbing Walker’s hand firmly and crushing the pot, Lusk tested his triple-pewter strength by attempting to crush Walker’s remaining hand as hard as he could. He had the grip, and he had the pewter.

The pot was ceramic. Should have mentioned that before.

Ok. Edited. Just so you know, it’s a different attack now.

The pot?

Walker spun away, a shard from the pot cutting his hand. He whipped out his emergency knife and flung it at Lusks's back.

No, the crush-hand thing. Lusk’s not punching Walker anymore.

He already had a grip, but whatever.

Lusk spun away from the attack.

Lusk turned fast and took a step back as the Drown kid threw a knife at him. Lusk needed something to block it. Quick.

Bringing up the hand that had been blown up by the Harmonium, Lusk controlled his Atium-tapping just to that location, immediately bringing his arm to the age of 25.

At this age, Lusk had not yet blown up his hand, and so, in place of the blown up hand that was there just moments earlier, an earlier version of his hand lay, repaired.

The knife hit and dig into the age-healed hand, and immediately Lusk stopped tapping Atium and the hand disappeared back to its normal broken self and the knife clattered to the ground. It hadn’t harmed Lusk at all, he didn’t have a hand for it to hit. All it had done was hurt a previous version of Lusk’s hand.

Leaping to Walker’s side with only the speed a triple-pewterarm could, Lusk brought out a special Harmonium cube. It was one he had been charging up since the beginning of the duel. It was one that shared Lusk’s own power.

It was an Atium Feruchemy cube.

Attempting to press it against Walker’s arm firmly with the grip of a pewterarm, Lusk waited for the effects to take place.

Quote

So, what this cube does is pump age Lusk has charged it with into Walker. So because it’s pressed against him, Walker’s going to almost immediately get 10-15 years younger because of this, both physically and psychologically, which would be hard to fight in considering how he’s used to his own body and considering his current age.

Cutting his wrists does a fair bit, and if he doesn't stop it he'll bleed out, so I rule -7, with subtraction of five each turn from loss of blood.

The hand would have got some damage from being gripped, so... cut and crush, -4

-10 for the wrist being blown up.

Now it's minus three per turn because I'm ruling the explosion would cauterize the wound, so only one wrist is bleeding out.

Lusk: 83
