Arena: Upper Deck of the Red Rose Airship. Watch out for cannonballs faced inward, firing at random!

Beatrix stepped out from behind the golden-trimmed mahogony door, her arms folded together. When she reached her place on the front end of the deck, she batted a stray curl from the side of her face and stared down at the other end, waiting anxiously for her opponent.

After a moment, she drew out Save the Queen, holding it up in both hands before her face, and prayed.

"Let's go..."

[Shego]

[glow=green,2,700]"Wow, my name precedes me.." Came a voice from the shadows as the sought out thief came into view. Shego was seen fixing her gloves, fully regenerated from her fight with Hades. Her dark locks of hair would flow in the wind freely, from the altitude, "Me likey." She grinned, acquiring a fighting stance before her hands burst into green plasma, "After you, Chuckles."[/glow]

[General Beatrix]

When Shego came into view she collected Save the Queen in her right hand and began charging a white-blue light in the other.

"I commend your courage, but I will show you no mercy," she said, grinning. The sphere hovering lightly above her left palm crackled and popped with electric fury. "Now, allow me to shatter your delusions of grandeur, Holy!"

She hurled the orb outward, in Shego's direction. The ball split off into several more, of equal size and power, and they were all hurtling towards the green woman. Beatrix took her blade in both hands and charged forth, the blade glowing now with a golden energy, covered with streaks of purple lightning.

"Thunder Sword!" she cried, hoisting Save the Queen high, leaping, and then coming down, full-force, hoping to strike down her opponent.

[Shego]

[glow=green,2,700]Shego used her martial arts to evade the holy lights-- dodging them at the last second, since they were probably homing in on her. It was foolish to try and dodge them at a far distance, so the timing had to be juuuust right, or else suffer the consequences.

When it came to Beatrix's sword, Shego held up her hands, and stopped the coming blade- a difficult move. She would deal with the lightning, since plasma was hotter, the lightning would be absorbed, even nulled.

The thief smirked, holding up her foot, and donkey kicking the General in the stomach, causing her to launch back, hopefully into one of the flying cannonballs.[/glow]

[General Beatrix]

When the sword made contact, the Thunder Sword ability was activated. It created a small-range earthquake beneath her feet, ultimately cracking some of the polished wood below the two in a five-foot square. And then came the lightning bolt, from high into the sky, at tremendous speed, hitting home.

"Gah!" cried the General, being knocked back and crashing against a stack of crates. She growled in fury, and glared down the apprentice with her good eye and fumbled to get back up. "Blind!" she chanted, and raised her hand out toward the thief. If this curse struck, Shego would be blinded by a magical inky-black screen hovering over her eyes, and thus be unable to spot her moves.

"It is time for--" She blocked an incoming cannonball by just a second, ducking and then using this opportunity to lunge forward once more, her sword poised to taste blood. "Stock Break!" She raised her sword, readying it for a special horizontal attack.

[Shego]

[glow=green,2,700]The thief backed away to prevent the blade to make contact with her flesh, she eventually flipped backwards, dodging an incoming cannon ball as well. She landed on one knee, before jumping up towards one of the Masts that held the Sail in place, chuckling like a Lunatic as she made her way up.

Shego reached up to grab at one of the ropes that held the Sail, and with her plasma ability, tore the rope apart! Causing a whipping action at the sudden, stress-filled ropes around them. Especially Beatrix-- she would soon find herself below ropes and a giant sail's PATH of destruction- and let us not forget the cannon balls!

"Was never good with Ship in a Bottle... heh heh!"[/glow]

[General Beatrix]

Watching Shego's elegance and speed was like looking in a mirror, Beatrix thought fondly, only reverting back to growing angry and annoyed, with each failed attempt at her opponent's life. She charged forward again, her blade crackling with lightning running up and down its length once more, until she noticed the thief scaling one of the masts.

"You'll surely kill us all!" she cried, noticing all the rigging high above tumbling down, about ready to crush her flat. When everything neared her, she tugged at the emblem over her heart and cried out in utter pain before falling into a pool of darkness, created at her feet by her shadows.

She had retreated, into the darkness, but had not left the vicinity of the ship. Somewhere in the shadows of the crumbling Red Rose, she was waiting to strike, while preparing an extra strategy.

[Shego]

[glow=green,2,700]"Heh. Clever." Shego chuckled, grabbing one of the ropes to swing to another Mast, the main one- but she wouldn't tug or destroy any ropes there. She would keep an eye out for the general, her black tainted lips curling upwards in a signature smirk, "Yo...ho~... yo ho...." she started humming the pirate song, her senses keen to the darkness now. She latched her claws at the wood of the main Mast, and awaited a sign, if anything of the possibly MAD Captain.

"A pirate's life for...." she paused, looking at her surroundings with wide, psychotic eyes. Her hair would flow freely at her altitude. [/glow]

[General Beatrix]

Beatrix hid within the shadows at the underside of a staircase. When she fingered Shego's location high above, she charged forth, and leapt into another Corridor, once again grabbing hold of her heart. When she exited, however, she was planning on running the other woman through, but instead collapsed to her knees, dropping Save the Queen. She simply clutched onto a part of Shego's clothing, and looked up, charging a ball of white light in her hands.

That, however, also soon faded, and Beatrix tumbled off the side of the platform and fell to the rubble on deck.

[Shego]

[glow=green,2,700]"Whoopsie." Shego chuckled, watching the woman fall onto the rubble. She merely slid down the Mast to land near the woman, her head tilting lightly to the side to give that signature- bad ass look of hers. "Bit off more than you could chew... Captain."

The thief reached down, seeming about to strike at the Captains head, but she slowed her advance, and simply petted her.

[General Beatrix]

"I...grbgrkk!" she coughed up some blood, and held onto her chest. She couldn't move. "I...resign..." Afterwards, she fell unconscious.

[Shego]

[glow=green,2,700]The chuckled a little, standing up from place to rest her hands on her hips, in a victorious pose, "Oh, I know you do, Captain." she grinned, "Good girl."[/glow]
