Mason Jeffries versus The Fairer Sex
It had been a few days since Marrina got back, and outside of practicing his transmutations and studying some chemical formulas more intently, Mason had been determined not to let this shadow take over his life. He was taking a break and trying to beat his time-attack record in Capcom vs SNK 2 when there was a perimeter alert.

	Jordan ponders. He remotely opens the door to the Temple of Boom just a crack, then feeds his recording of Mason doing Karaoke into the sound system there. (Good to hold onto these things, just in case) After that, he watches the feed from the door. Should it be opened enough for, say, an intruder to enter, she's going to get Whitney Houston at 145 decibels. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Corridor to the left of the front atrium, quite a ways down.," Mel whispers. Then she starts to concentrate herself in the walls nearest the woman "What are you doing?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Dirina made her way to the Temple of Boom. She opened the door, ready to challenge Mason, but dropped to her knees when she did, covering her ears. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Now that their guest has had some surface hospitality, Jordan heads to the temple to say hello. Not that she'll be able to hear him, or anything else, for a while. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Mason, being in the Temple, just about falls over himself before he can pull a pair of headphones on. "JORDIE!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Dirnia got to her feet. "I WISH YOUR TEAMMATES NO HARM," she said, being forced to scream because she currently couldn't hear a thing. "BUT IF I MUST FIGHT THEM AS WELL IN ADDITION TO YOU, THEN SO BE IT, MASON JEFFRIES." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Jordan walks up to the girl, then taps his chin, making a "give me your best shot" gesture. "You want to fight someone, fine, hit me. You broke into our base. And when you break into Alpha Flight's base, you deal with Alpha Flight." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"STOP!" Mason gets himself up from the couch, pulling his sneakers back on.

"I'm right here. If you're here to fight me under the terms of a formal challenge, I won't run from it. No-one else on the team needs to get hurt."

He vaults himself over the back of the couch, walking towards the Atlantean girl with hopefully much more confidence than he's actually feeling.

"Jordie... call Marrina." He points a finger at the girl. "You. Outside." He jerks a thumb towards the door to the Temple.

Jordan shakes his head. "Mason, if you want to go through with this, that's your decision. But this isn't just your problem... she snuck onto Canadian soil to attempt assassination. If I showed up in Atlantis and started beating the crap out of people based on Canadian law, Namor would have my head, figuratively speaking. And he'd be right. I'm not going to get in the way of your challenge if you feel like you have something to prove - but this is my base too. I don't care what her reasons are. You guys go beat the snot out of people, and then she's under arrest for breaking into a government installation, and the Atlanteans can come talk to me if they don't like it. Even if she wins, I'd say she can start talking about marrying Marrinna in 15-25."

	Marrina arrived moments later. "Can we at least take this outside? I'd rather not have our house wrecked. ...And why did they send a woman?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Seconded." Mel grumbles. She's still halfway sunk into the floor and the ambiance is....not the kind Alpha Flight typically gets in their home. Someone's really not in a good mood. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Alex didn't pounce, but he did move a little closer like a hunter stalking prey. He was not happy a stranger broke into their home. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Dirina followed Mason and Marriana outside of the Temple. "I formally challenge you for for the hand of Princess Marrina, for my brother," she said. "If you win, I shall leave and you will never see me again." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Mason draws himself up, such as he can, taking fistfuls of dirt in his hands. "And I, Mason Jeffries, uh... consort of Princess Marrina, accept your challenge." His eyes flicker from her to Marrina. "Uh... does she have to say 'go' or something?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sea_shelly 2010-10-07 03:01 am UTC (link)
	Marrina looked between the two. "My consort has accepted the challenge and I stand ready to witness," she said. "Let the duel commence." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Dirina pulled out her knives. "Excellent." She charged at Mason. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Mason takes a step back and swings his arms forwards, releasing the dirt, transmuting it into steel ball bearings and flinging them at the girl's face and feet. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Dirnia had been trained by some of the best combat-masters in Atlantis. She dodged the steel balls with ease. When she reached Mason, she made a fist, her daggers out front, punching at his shoulders. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Mason dives out of the way, taking only a glancing cut to one bicep. He drops and attempts to sweep her legs out from under her as he swings out one foot and puts both hands into the dirt. Steel rods push up abruptly from the ground at her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Marrina gasped and winced when she saw Mason get cut. C'mon... she thought. You can do it! (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
