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.

	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)

	Alex came into the Temple and roared. (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)

	ng_atlantis 2010-10-12 01:50 am UTC (link)
	Dirnia jumped up in the air to avoid the leg sweep, she flipped backward to avoid being hit from the rods, putting some distance between her and Mason. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	got_the_touch 2010-10-12 01:54 am UTC (link)
	Mason reaches out and liquefies some of the rods, condensing them into one solid cylinder. He then turns his gaze to the girl sharply, and transmutes it again. A single spear, blunted to a larger ball-point at the end, rockets out of the main structure, thin and extending across the distance rapidly, aimed for her sternum. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The spear caught Dirnia off-guard and it connected, knocking her flat on her butt. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Mason does his absolute best not to look surprised that that worked, carrying an armful of steel as he scrambles forward. He works one into a mess of more flexible copper wiring, moving to tackle her and trying to entangle her with as much as possible, turning it to steel as well. His cut arms screams in protest.

	ng_atlantis 2010-10-13 12:26 am UTC (link)
	Dirina began to cut at the copper wiring, trying to cut quickly so she wouldn't be entangled when it completely became steel. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Seeing that the plan isn't going to work fast enough, Mason grabs for her wrist then tries to get his other hand against the flat of the knife, preparing to transmute it to chalk, all the while still flailing like an octopus. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_atlantis 2010-10-14 01:53 am UTC (link)
	Her daggers transmuted to chalk, Dirina growled, kicking at Mason. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	got_the_touch 2010-10-14 02:19 am UTC (link)
	"OOF!" Mason gets some of the wind knocked out of him as a kick connects with his stomach, but that's better than his face, he supposes. He really hopes Marrina doesn't get mad at him for the next idea he's got. Calling upon years of peewee hockey experience... he pulls her shirt up over her head and tries to mettalize it in place.

	The Alpha Flight members would get a free show, as Dirnia fought to rid herself of her now metal shirt. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
