Round Start

The wind whipping around the roof of the high building didn’t seem to bother the large bug as he hovered in the air with a loud buzz emanating from his wings. He observed his opponent carefully, knowing that the Bouffalant could deal some hefty damage if he let it. He decided to go on the offensive, and began to beat his wings faster. Several rings of energy moved from them at a quick pace, heading towards Afro. The bull could only watch as they moved closer and eventually collided with him. Instead of dealing damage like he thought they would, the Bouffalant started to get drowsy. With a broad yawn he closed his eyes, his legs locking as he fell asleep on his feet. Hopefully no one would try any cow tipping...
[Zan: - 3 NRG | Afro: SLP]
(Accuracy rolled a 27 where rolling more than 60 resulted in this action missing the target. Off Balance Roll was 54, where 1-5 resulted in Zen getting knocked off balance)

Afro simply snored through his trainers orders, contently dreaming.
[Afro: Swords Dance FAILED]
(Sleep Roll was 9374 where any result less than or equal to 3000 resulted in Afro waking up.)

A smirk graced Zan’s features as he looked at his sleeping opponent. Afro was going to have a tough time hitting him now. He decided to make it a bit harder on the bull, and his body began to flicker. He became invisible for a moment as his body moved back and forth at lightning speed. Eventually, he began to solidify along with three copies of himself. Afro was in for a surprise when he woke up.
[Zan: - 3 NRG; 3 Clones]
(Off Balance Roll was 95, where 1-5 resulted in Zen getting knocked off balance)

The bull, however, didn’t stir. He was still snoozing despite the loud wind, off in his own dream world.
[Afro: Wild Charge FAILED]
(Sleep Roll was 8029 where any result less than or equal to 3000 resulted in Afro waking up.)

Round Start

Zan looked at his sleeping opponent with slight interest, ready to deal some good damage to Afro. The huge dragonfly began to beat his wings faster, a grey colored wind kicking up around them. Suddenly, it rushed towards Afro, slamming into him with great force. The bull was knocked back slightly, wincing in his sleep. He was able to stay on his feet, however, after the attack passed.
[Zan: -5 NRG | Afro: -8 HP]
Critical hit rolled a 3101, where rolling 625 or less resulted in a critical hit. Accuracy rolled a 24 where rolling more than 100 resulted in this action missing the target. Effect: Rolled from 1 to 10. Result was 6. No Effect. Off balance roll was 85. Action succeeds.

Afro opened his eyes slowly, looking up at the four Yanmega in front of him. Oh...great..His eyes darted from one to the other before he lowered his horns and scraped his hoof against the roof. With a snort, he charged forward. He collided with the nearest Yanmega, wincing as the recoil from the attack shook his body. The Yanmega shuddered before disappearing in a puff of smoke. A snort of rage left Afro as he looked up at the remaining three Yanmega. A clone...Rage was building in Afro and his glare hardened. It was going to feel his horns at some point or another.
[Afro: -10 NRG, -4 HP. MISS ]
Sleep Roll was 2253 where any result less than or equal to 2500 resulted in Afro waking up. Clone rol
was 3, with 1 hitting Zan. Off Balance roll was 69. Action Succeeds.

The three Yanmega smirked at the Boufallant’s miss, and they began to beat their wings in unison. Several golden rings of vibrating energy. They collided with Afro, causing him to shudder in pain. Afro planted his feet and growled as he glared up at Zan. He was going to find the real one and cause some pain...
[Zan: -8 NRG | Afro: -11 HP]
Critical hit rolled a 5778, where rolling 625 or less resulted in a critical hit. Accuracy rolled a 54 where rolling more than 100 resulted in this action missing the target. Effect: Rolled from 1 to 10. Result was 4. No Effect. Off Balance roll was 83. Action succeeds.

Lowering his head again, he snorted loudly before choosing a target. With as much force as he could muster, he launched himself at Zan. The attack collided, and the Yanmega didn’t disappear. With another shudder, the other two clones disappeared and Zan moved back quickly, stinging in pain. Afro wasn’t too worse for ware, but he was still hurting. At leas the had gotten rid of those pesky clones.
[Afro: -10 NRG, -4 HP | Zan: -14 HP]

DM, your moves please.

[Dark Moonlight]

Excellent job. Let's use Rock Tomb and emphasize on the effectiveness, then use Stone Edge. We'll try not to kill ourselves with recoil... if the opponent uses Protect (or Detect actually XD), go for a Swords Dance. Just as a safety precaution.

Rock Tomb/Swords Dance ~ Stone Edge/Swords Dance

[Dino]

Wait till after his first move. If Rock Tomb lands use String Shot to hold the rocks together and create a protective tomb to protect yourself from his next attack. If Rock Tomb misses use Bug Buzz.

If you were able to build the rock tomb wait until after Stone Edge has been used and then use Toxic. If you weren't able to make the shield use the speed of Aerial Ace to try and dodge the rocks before you attack.

Decided to try something interesting...

String Shot/Silver Wind ~ Toxic/Aerial Ace

The bull with a flair for hair moved first, stamping his hooves on the ground with a stalwart thud. Zan was surrounded by pillars of stone that erupted from the ground, soon locking onto him with unusual speed, they crashed over the prehistoric insect, damaging his wings a bit and hindering Zan's natural agility. Afro Circus couldn't see it, but Zan was giving him a glare from behind his stony encasement. Afro on the other hand, was pleased with his work. A move like that was surely going to sting a bug of that calibre, as could be seen once Zan pulled himself free.

Bouffalant used Rock Tomb! [Bouffalant: -5 NRG | Yanmega: -9 HP, -1 SPD]
Balance roll was 9, where rolling 1 would have knocked Bouffalaant off balance.
Critical hit rolled a 7890, where rolling 2500 or less resulted in a critical hit.
Accuracy rolled a 9 where rolling more than 80 resulted in this action missing the target.

Zan didn't like being stuck in a premature gravestone. He didn't like it at all, however it was the rocks that gave Zan an idea. Using an attack from his Yanma days, Zan opened his mouth and spat silky thread at the remains of Afro's Rock Tomb before the stones could crumble. The thread was sprayed all over the rocks, soon melting together into an adhesive that gave the bug exactly what he wanted; cover. Zan hovered close behind his newly formed barrier, awaiting Afro Circus' next move.

Yanmega used String Shot! [Yanmega: -2 ENG]
Balance roll was 2, where rolling 1 would have knocked Yanmega off balance.

'Fro shook his head and stomped a hoof; that wall had to go, and he was going to get rid of it, and do it so well it would still hurt his opponent. With a snort sounding from flared nostrils, a pair of bluish rings formed around the Bouffalant, circling his body until they formed into sharp, stone shards. Afro reared, and then stomped his forehooves into the ground, sending the Stone Edge attack flying into the barrier. What pieces of earth didn't crack the wall, sliced through the sticky webbing, leaving Zan with a weak shield to protect him. Soon enough the entire structure fell, the last of the bull's attack striking Zan's sides hard.

Bouffalant used Stone Edge! [Bouffalant: -12 NRG | Yanmega: -9 HP]
Balacnce roll was 5, where rolling 1 would have knocked Bouffalant off balance.
The Rock Tomb shielded Yanmega from half of the attack, but the Tomb was the destroyed.
Critical hit rolled a 9752, where rolling 3300 or less resulted in a critical hit.
Accuracy rolled a 12 where rolling more than 80 resulted in this action missing the target.

Zan took action to put some insult on the bull. He inhaled, taking in the biggest breath he could as his wings beat just that little bit faster. Vile toxin's from the insect's body took presence in between his fangs, and Zan shot his head forward. Before Afro could realize it, he felt purple globules strike his face, knowing they had just come from Zan's insides. Afro Circus didn't feel too well after that, his own insides starting to churn and become heated with inflammation.

Yanmega used Toxic! [Yanmega: -6 ENG | Bouffalant: TXC]
Balance roll was 7, where rolling 1 would have knocked Yanmega off balance.
Accuracy rolled a 17 where rolling more than 90 resulted in this action missing the target.

The pain from Zan's attack lingered, causing Afro Circus discomfort and frustration. He dug at the ground with his hoof angrily, staring down Zan with intent to run him over. He coughed a bit, feeling a surge of heat run across his face. He shook it off, ignoring it for now and unwilling to let his opponent get the better of him.

Bouffalant was hurt by Toxic! [Bouffalant: -2 HP]

Afro Circus was not best pleased: all he wanted was to was smash this stupid bug to pieces, but his trainer seemed to want him to go on the defensive. He had no idea why - the bug was no threat to him, all he needed to do was land a few decent hits on his and he’d be done for. In the end, obedience won over the bull’s natural bloodlust, and he closed his eyes, focusing his energy into a shield, which grew as a dome around him to cover all the angles from which Zan could attack.

Despite all his protesting, the bull was glad of his barrier when he realised what his opponent had been planning. The Yanmega flew at him with glowing red eyes, trying to hypnotise him so that he would succumb to sleep once again, becoming a much easier target. Fortunately, the shield was able to easily prevent that from happening, and the total result of all Zan’s efforts was to make Afro a little drowsy.

However, the bull’s protection was now gone, leaving his vulnerable to attack. Zan hovered over a small flower patch that was just upwind of his opponent and, using the strong gales to his advantage, began to flap his wing more and more vigorously, creating a barrage of arcs of white light, which sped towards Afro Circus, who had no choice but to take the blows when they came.

However, the Bouffalant knew nothing better than how to give as good as he got. Stamping his hoof again, the stones that had previously been a shield to his opponent rose into the air and were flung at the bug by some invisible force; they covered him, weighing him down and smothering him so closely that he began to feel intensely claustrophobic. He struggled and strained, and eventually broke free, but, in the act of doing so, he damaged his wing, slowing him down even more than he already was.

Afro Circus watched with satisfaction, but couldn’t help but notice that his discomfort from the poison with which he had been infected last round was increasing. He covered it up well enough, but even he knew that it would cause some major problems if he didn’t get it sorted soon.
