Claws Round 3: Tiki vs Naesala
@akanxia vs. @kingkilvas
Coin Toss:Tiki strikes first
“Both of our competitors have chosen to fly into the arena today, and... well, this looks just as one might expect a fight between a dragon and a raven to look. Decisively one-sided.”
“We’ve seen Naesala fight not once, but twice. You still choose to say that? I hope he doesn’t somehow decide to ruin your dress in revenge for that comment.”
TIKI: 13 strike v. 11 defense
Before Naesala can bolt into the air, Tiki swipes at him and gets a hit in. He stays in his bird form, though looks a bit shaken by the effective slap to the face he has just received from a large manakete.
NAESALA: 12 strike v. 11 defense (Anemone)
TIKI: 18 strike v. 6 defense
Tiki takes to air after Naesala makes a swooping strke against her. They both glide and dive around one another, making for a stunning aerial battle that the audience is excited to watch. Tiki makes a turning move and as Naesala tries to make a strike against her, Tiki instead smacks him with her tail.
NAESALA: 13 strike v. 4 defense
As he’s hit with a long manakete tail, Naesala grabs ahold with his talons, and he makes a dive for the ground, pulling Tiki down to hit the ground again. This breaks Tiki’s concentration and she reverts back to her human form.
“Oh my! Lady Tiki has changed back! This could put her at a disadvantage for the rest of the fight--”
“This isn’t looking good for her, but we have had other miracles occur today. That, and she is Naga’s voice: she still can pull through.”
TIKI: 5 strike v 3 strike
Despite being in a smaller body now, Tiki gives no ground. She grapples the raven by grabbing his tail feathers and pulling him to the ground swiftly.
NAESALA: 12 strike v. 8 defense
TIKI: 5 strike v. 11 defense
NAESALA: 4 strike v. 3 defense
TIKI: 19 strike v. 14 defense
Naesala lands, moving to pin Tiki to the ground. But she grabs onto both his legs, tackling the large bird to the ground. He lets out a rough ‘CAW’ and reverts back into his human form, huffing and pushing her off again.
NAESALA: 3 strike v. 7 defense
TIE BREAKER: As both fighters move in for one last strike, the audience watches with baited breath. Its all tied up, and both of them swing a last punch, trying to land a hit. Tiki’s fist glances past Naesala’s shoulder, but the raven king’s hit connects, and even HE is taken aback as the bell rings and he is declared a winner. Clearly, not even he expected that.
“My goodness, what a fight! They both only ever missed one hit each, Chrom, that’s incredible!”
“Tiki thought well in her human form; her lengthy life experience really shone through. Still, Naesala reaches the final to face Dwyer!”
