Fate stared around upon entering the arena, watching the terrain select around her. Her clothing had been sewed back together from her last battle, and her circuitry and body repaired from the damage of being impaled. Her navy blue shirt flowed lightly around her body, with her similar colored pants sticking close to her skin without being too tight. Her shoulders and knees were covered, and her clothes were designed to ensure they would stay that way through the fight. Her black hair stuck next to her face, and her cat ears flicked around atop her head. Green eyes scanned the environment around her, slitting with focus as they did so. Their were lots of trees, something she could easily use to her advantage. Superheated skin coming into contact with trees for an extended period of time could quite easily start a mass fire, something that her heat resistant skin could bear with ease. She wore no weapon, but had her opponent seen her previous fight he would know she used her body as her primary weapon. Fate's claws stuck from her hand, the shimmering black weapons glistening in the light. Smiling a grin at her opponent, she began stepping backwards towards the forever fall section. "All fall to the whims of fate, you will be no different." With that, she turned and darted into the forest, weaving in and out of the trees before quickly grasping one and clambering up it. Not only could she utilize the trees to her advantage with a large forest fire, but her speed and agility allowed her to use it to increase her overall mobility and acquire an advantage over her opponent.

Before heading in he swiped some extra dust crystals and fixated them in his kicks and began to walk in. Walking in he adjusted his mask and twirled his Cooper cane. "Fate hasn't taken me yet and I'll continue to defy it as only I dictate my own fate." Kradec boasted as he watched her go into the forever fall section. Slowly he walked, gold eyes following her movement into the trees. He had seen her fight and had expectations but seeing and experiencing are two different things. Kradec had the upper hand in having not shown his strategy since his previous fight was a disqualification. As he wandered into the Forever Fall he watched the treetops, one hand using his cane the other in his pocket. Almost carefree like did he wander into the forest. "HERE Kitty Kitty Kitty!" he chuckled making clicking noises with his mouth to taunt, his tail swayed left and right as he stopped in the middle of a clearing. His sense of hearing was heightened from being faunus and he listened carefully for his opponent to move. In his pocket was one of his smokebombs and two Flashbangarangs.

Fate clambered through the treetops, her bare feet making nary a sound as she bounded from branch to branch. Lightly following her opponent voice she trailed him, being sure to keep her distance and move silently. When he entered the clearing she stopped, glancing around in an attempt to formulate a plan. She didn't know his fighting style, and he seemed quite confident in his abilities simply by the way he walked. Looking at the trees surrounding the clearing an idea struck her, and she dropped lightly from the branch she was standing upon. Landing silently, she padded quickly towards the clearing, activating overheat as she did so. Her claws began glowing white and a red glow emitted from her skin. The grass she was standing upon blackened from the heat, and were she not moving quickly would likely have begun steaming and sizzling. She got to the edge of the clearing and turned, running along its circle with a hand outstretched back towards the trees. Her claws sliced through the trunk of one tree, the heat allowing them to cleave through the wood with ease. As she ran she heard the fruits of her labor in the groaning of the wood, and she continued doing it. One, two, three more trees she cut, and when she finished slashing through the final one the first had just begun falling towards her opponent. Fate smiled and charged alongside the final falling trunk, leaping at him in an attempt to drive him to the ground right as the impromptu wooden weapon would've collided.

Hearing the groaning of the trees he smiled and lifted his hand out of his pocket and threw down a smoke bomb, using the smoke he leapt to the height of the smoke cloud and use his hookshot to latch on to the last tree about to fall and perch on it causing it to fall faster. Now the tables have turned as she was now in the epicenter of her own trap. Using his vantage point he looked where she was and laughed. He commended her try but you can't outwit a raccoon that easily. Now in the perfect position standing on the fallen tree he got behind it and kicked the tree using purple dust to improve his impact and sent the tree flying at the Armor clad woman and ducked behind it and used it as cover, tucking his cane into his belt he took out two of his butterfly knives and prepared to strike. Seeing how powerful she was to cleave trough trees like paper she would have no problem cleaving this one. His footsteps were quiet as he was using blue dust and his semblence to ice skate above the grass and not shift the ground. His blades were drawn and he held them like a crucifix in front of him as he prepared to strike them together. As the tree would impact her he closed his eyes and Clashed the blades together creating a flash bang effect and using Green dust he lips backwards using the gust of air to push and change his direction while distancing him slightly from the blast so he could now see full view of his target. Kradec's Flashbang was rather close quarters almost point blank but while his ears did ring lightly as he had escaped the full extent of the bang and closing his eyes reduced the blindness she would have a hard time avoiding it.

Fate's eyes darted in every direction at the sudden smoke. Her ears twitched, both cat and human, seeking some sound to derive the current situation from. As the smoke cleared and she caught sight of the trunk falling straight towards her, her reaction was almost inhumanly fast. She leaped into the air, straight at the falling trunk with an outstretched hand. Her claw caught the outer edge of the tree, Fate lifting herself up and onto the top of it as it hit the ground. She scoured the surrounding area for her opponent, her green eyes focused as she did so. Her eyes fell on him, and she was intrigued only for a moment by how he was gliding along the ground so smoothly. Only a moment because just as she found him, he clacked his knives together. The blinding flash and deafening boom filled her vision and caused her ears to ring. She barely heard herself hiss in pain, feline ears folding down on her head, before the white in her vision disappeared. The ringing in her ears went with it, both filled with a complete void as her systems began rebooting. Instead she held her nose in the air, sniffing deeply to keep track of her opponent. But then, her heat sensors skyrocketed, and the smell of smoke filled her nostrils. It took her less then a second to realize what had happened, she had stayed crouched upon the trunk, her skin still overheated. The wood had begun sizzling and burning, the fire rapidly spreading along the trunk. Her vision and hearing returned a moment later, quicker than was probably expected, and confirmed her suspicions.
Fire had spread along the fallen trunks, filling the clearing with smoke and heat. Neither of them were of consequence to Fate, her robotic body not only built to withstand heat but also incapable of feeling temperature along with the fact that breathing wasn't required for her survival. Unfortunately, while her clothing was designed to be able to withstand the heat of her "semblance", was not made to last long in fire. They would last maybe a minute before they started burning away, another minute before the metal joints of her shoulders and knees were revealed. So the robot charged at her adversary, tearing through the flames like a demon. She came up to him and swung her left hand in a quick jab at his abdomen, while the right came in for a sweep at his head. As the strikes were flying her right foot shuffled forward and planted a kick to his shin, attempting to him down and limit his options in a fight. Her strikes were quick, efficient, and brutal, just like in her previous bout. The whole time she was also advancing, attempting to push him back and out of the flaming clearing. While she could survive in the flames with ease, she wanted that knowledge to be a little more hidden, and she had only wanted to use a forest fire as a last resort attack. But she had to work with what she had, and so shoving him out of the fire was her best option.

As she would Swing a jab at him he moved himself and grabbed her wrist and firmly kicked her straight in the chest, a combination of Yellow dust and black dust was used and had had magnetized her while sending viciously powerful electric shocks through her body, the metal conducting the electricity and doing growing damage on her nerves and joints. the black dust which would force her away instead worked with the electricity from the yellow dust and caused the opposite. As his foot made contact and held her in place he would roll to his back lifting and keeping her above the ground by holding her up with his leg, his semblence making a platform to prevent her from crushing him with her arm still being held over the ledge of the platform. Now that she was vulnerable he used his other foot to charge a yellow and purple dust hick also to the abdomen, the kick and electricity forcing her back but the black dust pulled her back and both feet end up kicking her again sending more electricity through her body and systems.
After burning through most of his yellow crystals and plenty of one black crystal, he cancels his semblence and pushes her up in the air and while she was in air he rolls backwards and uses the green dust and the updraft to launch himself up high into the air and after free falling a bit he puts his knives in his pocket and uses his cane to hook shot to another tree and perch. He had used quite the amount of aura but he could still keep kicking if he keeps on the defensive, hoping his little shocking foreplay did it's number on her. Panting as the smoke and heat from the hot air and flames made it hard to breathe he catches his breath and waits to see if she survived the punishment.

Pain. That was the only thing she could feel, the only thing she could focus on. As the electricity pulsed through her systems, she was lucky her aura was able to shield her from it even a little. Even with that though, her body seized up, overheat fluctuating rapidly between producing extreme heat and producing none at all. It was all she could do to keep her dirty little secret from dropping onto her face, but luckily she was able to. She barely even registered the kicks to her chest, only able to process the drain on her aura after she was dropped to the ground. She panted, collapsed onto a single knee as fire crackled around her. The electricity pulsed through her as it raced into the ground, her systems slowly came back online from the surge. Staring around through the flames, she tried again to find her adversary. Now that she knew he preferred kicks as his offensive, she could combat it a little more. The elemental attacks would be a little challenging to work with, especially if he continued to utilize magnetism like that. Finding him through the smoke, perched atop a tree, she sprinted away from him and into the surrounding forest. She ran with a slight limp as she exited, the motors in her legs struggling to work after the surge of power, and she turned overheat down as much as possible. This pulled her heat levels down from a blistering heat to a dull burn, her claws dimming to a light blue glow. She entered the trees, once again clambering up the trunk of one and entering the canopy of the forest. Bounding silently along the branches towards where she last saw him, keeping her eyes out as she did so. As she approached him Fate jumped at him, the branch shaking beneath her as she left and went flying towards him. Her goal was to tackle him off his perch and bring him plummeting to the ground, hopefully with her atop him and free to tear into him with her claws. But just in case, she was ready to grab onto the tree he was on, or a nearby one, and pull herself back into the treetops should she need to.

Listening carefully he heard the tree branch shake he turned around and held his cane like a scythe, the large hook at the end of his cane which he used to hook shot's sharp, blade like edges shined as the light from the back reflected off the hook. Moving ever so slightly to the side he let out a sadistic smirk and as she approached where he was standing he hooked her by the neck, the sharp edges digging into her neck covering. As She flew forward he pulled back and swung her body into the tree, the sudden shift in direction would toll him from her velocity and her from the nearly ninety degree shift in direction. From the amount of momentum shifting after she would be slammed into the tree Kradec would fall backwards and begin to fall. As he was about to touch ground he used his semblence and hovered above the ground to cushion his fall. Now out of a vantage point he began a massive dash into the flames and bobbed and weaved through the burning degree to hide and relocate. Getting to the other side he noticed that the fire was rapidly growing and more grass and bushes were starting to ignite from the slow burning trees. Seeing this as a big problem he tried to hightail deep into the forest to distance himself AND his opponent as so they were both in safer terrain. He went rather deep but stopped to catch his breath. Using his cane he went into the upper canopy of the trees as so he could see the distance between him and the fire. In the distance he could see the forest illuminating with crimson light as the Foliage of the beautiful forest slowly becomes engulfed in flames..."I hope she gets out of there..." he said to himself not wanting to be taken out by the terrain as that wouldn't make the fight fun.

Fate, to her credit, caught sight of the cane before it tore her head off. As she got to it, her claw dug into the tree next to her and began pulling her momentum off, so when his cane impacted her and swung her, Fate was not nearly as jarred by the change. Four long grooves formed in the tree, spiraling down slightly as her claws tore through bark and sap leaked onto her. She watched the man go sailing away from the flames rapidly enveloping her, her clothes starting to fray at the edges. Her mechanical joints were still well concealed, but she needed to get out of there as soon as possible. Fate went sprinting towards her other option for combat, the mountain. She tore through fire coated treetops, not caring for silence as the trees shook and creaked with her passing-a few simply teetering over and colliding harshly with the ground before being consumed by flames. She got close to the mountain, still being dogged by flames, and jumped as hard as she could from the falling tree trunk she was perched on. Fate went sailing out of the flames, a corona of crackling crimson heat surrounding her as she broke the top of the inferno. Her clothes quickly lost the flames clinging to them as she soared through the air, and her flesh looked absolutely unharmed from them, not even a redness upon her tan skin. For a moment Fate was a feline silhouette outlined by the light of the inferno below her, soaring through the air with sheer determination etched on her features.
Then she began her decent, straight towards the untouched forest on the side of a mountain. She angled herself to plummet straight into the center of those trees, crashing straight through one and cleaving the branches off many others with her fall. Her impact shook the mountain, the surrounding trees groaning and losing a few leaves from the vibrations. Were this the snowy mountain of her previous fight, the impact alone would've caused an avalanche. Luckily for her, this was not the same mountain, so instead she was able to sprint up the side of the mountain with little hindrance. Her passage through the trees was silent again, the only sign of her presence being the initial impact, as she wound her way up to the peak. She got to it and clambered onto it, hanging off the top of the mountain and monitoring the entire battlefield. The majority of the Forever Fall was engulfed in flames, the only parts spared being the sparse areas near the edge of the terrain and a few of the deeper sections which the fire hadn't reached yet. Scanning the horizon, a smirk appeared upon her feline features. "Come then, are you yet afraid to face your fate?" She shouted her words, carrying them off the mountain and through the arena. As she stood, she didn't intend to hide at all, perched atop a mountain quite obviously.

Hearing her harsh words, Kradec turned to face her direction. Sighing in relief as she had gotten out of the fire, he noticed the flames engulfing the forest and hightailed it to the mountain. As he reached the mountain he began briskly walking up the natural trails on the mountain still following the location of her words. "Afraid isn't the word! Eager is the right term!." He boasted as he scaled the mountain and after a short climb made it to where she was, no more tricks, no more hiding, this was grounds for war. "It'll be hard to create fires here..." He teased smirking and stretching as he looked at her with his piercing Gold eyes. Kradec's hairs were on edge, his fluffy Raccoon tail poofed and swayed with excitement. Mountainous terrain would be neutral ground for them since no where to hide really plus the slope and the edges made it hard to run away. "You ready for the last leg of the fight? I sure am.." He smirked and held his cane like a scythe and took a defensive stance, feet evenly apart knees bent and ready to shift how ever he needed.

Fate smiled calmly as the opposing faunus scaled the mountain, nodding to him curtly as he asked if she was ready. Her green eyes lost their slit for a moment, showcasing the temporary loss of focus. It lasted only an instant before her green eyes slit once again and her face filled with determination. "Indeed, the final leg. May the best faunus win." Fate took off, running towards her opponent and slightly up the mountain, placing her foot on the peak right as she got about halfway to him. She planted her bare foot lightly against the side of the pointed tip of the mountain, her skin reacquiring its glow as her overheat clocked up, her claws glowing white and visible heat trailing off her. She pressed against the mountain, jumping off and towards her target, claws out as she came down. She did not expect the attack to land, it was very telegraphed, though potent nonetheless. Upon landing in front of him, left claw sweeping downward, her right swung upwards in a diagonal strike towards his stomach. To follow it up Fate jabbed her right foot into his right leg, planting her foot as hard as possible and then using it to spin around and roundhouse kick him in the head. The attacks following her landing were exactly as expected from her; quick, efficient, and full of fury and power. The sheer heat of her skin radiated off her in waves, the shimmer in the air following her movement quite similar to what was coming off the raging forest fire beneath her. There was only a slight moment where Fate wondered if she should perhaps have a more complex fighting style. Instead, she only had one thing to do in a fight-get close and strike hard and fast. Perhaps that would be her downfall, perhaps not. Only time would tell, and right now she had a fight to focus on.

As she swung Kradec dodged and as she pressed her foot on his leg and went for the kick he ducked watching her turn around from the kick and grabbed her legs and pushed with his shoulder and forced her face first into the ground and planted his foot in the center of her back, stomping down with an yellow, purple, and now PINK dust which was highly explosive. The force of the kick was enough to dent her armor from the proximity, as the explosion would push him away he held onto her legs and using her pinned body and legs as to not fly backwards. As he pressed down electricity surged through her conductive body , letting go as so his hands wouldn't get electrocuted from touching her body. As the dust crystal was on it's last amount of energy he forcefully ejected both crystals downwards and used purple dust to force the crystals into her armor like darts and kick flipped backwards, the ejected crystals were glowing and humming as the ejected crystals were unstable and were about to explode inside her armor. As he lands his other foot glows gold as he was charging a super powered kick.

A normal person would be caught off guard by their legs being caught and pulled out from under them, losing access to the vast majority of their mobility. A normal person would then end up on the ground and at the mercy off their opponent, and were Fate a normal person that string of attacks would've likely removed Fate from the battle. Luckily she was not a normal person, and reacted quickly to the sudden loss of balance and ability to move her legs. As she was falling she reached her hands out, pressing into the ground and pushing herself upwards into a flip. She got to about a vertical level before the kick impacted, now hitting her square in the chest instead of the back. However, without a solid ground for her to get slammed into, Fate instead went flying away from her opponent with electricity coursing through her systems. She fell backwards, off the peak of the mountain and down towards a lower segment of it, the trees still sparse but far more present. She regained enough control to land and roll, shifting the impact force across her body and the momentum of the roll. She still groaned from the impact, the pain running through her body from the electricity coupled with the impact of landing quite prevalent. At this point she noticed the large hole in her clothing, straight in the center of her chest. It would seem the explosion had blasted off shreds of the very lightly armored outfit, and at this point Fate realized that she had even more pain in that area from a mild dent in her very skin. Looking up she rolled her shoulders and sighed. "Always with the electricity. How very rude. Well, if he wishes to play like that, fight fire with fire I suppose." Her muttering was quiet, mostly her complaining to herself then actually seeking the attention of anyone.
Striding over to a nearby tree, she swung both claws-one to each side-and tore off the majority of the bottom of the trunk. It teetered, then started falling, where Fate caught it. Hefting the massive hunk of wood and leaves, she yanked what was remaining from the stump and began to spin. Once, twice, three times she spun before releasing and shot-putting the impromptu weapon towards the opposing faunus. The trunk spun through the air, leaves and branches breaking off and creating a barrier between the two's sightlines, one which Fate was charging right behind. The tree, should it be allowed to hit, would shatter from the impact, wood chips flying everywhere and revealing the charging cat behind it. Right after, collision or no, Fate closed the little remaining distance and swung her right hand towards his head in a very obvious, yet no less dangerous strike. The swing, while quick, was to her opponents face, likely drawing attention to the white hot claw sailing straight towards his eyes. Utilizing this, she subtly slipped her left hand around his left leg, keeping it loose and not coming into physical contact with it just yet. Just before the strike to his head would land, she clamped her left hand around his leg and yanked it out from under him. Her right hand's strike shifted down and pressed into his face, slamming it into the ground with her right knee dropping and planting onto his neck. Her left leg swung out and pinned his right leg to the ground, while her left hand released its grip and instead pressed as hard as it could into the ground. If all this worked, she would have him at her mercy, and her right claw could be lifted from its place on his face to inflict pain in other places. Or the sheer heat radiating from her body could cause enough pain as is, with three separate things pressing the blistering metal into his skin, though her knee's heat was obstructed by her heat resistant clothing.

Seeing the tree trunk flying at him and hearing her bare feet against the rocky terrain he planted his charging foot into the ground and lifted his free leg creating a glistening white barrier that. at the trees impact, would bounce it back. As it went backwards he spun like a roundhouse and shouted "HISSATSU WAZA! Rider Kick!" and kicked her as she went straight for him As he looked carefully where he was aiming his foot was aimed at her exposed chest, not wanting to kill or maim he lowered his body so it would hit her lower torso. As the kick would make contact all of his red, yellow, purple, and pink crystals were used and made a massive explosion of flame and shock magnified by the purple dust straight at her midriff. the explosion sent him flying backwards off the mountain and distancing him from her but almost put him in the danger zone for means of disqualification.. The direction he sent her was aimed not off the cliff but into the mountain itself knowing her armor on her back would take the impact. Kradec had a lot of Respect for this woman, as he fell backwards he used his cane to grapple to the edge of the cliff he fell off of and pulled his body to it. Now hanging on the edge of the cliff and dangling for what seemed his life he tried using the last of his strength to pull himself up. Doing so he panted and looked at his opponent physically exhausted, seeing her condition he walked to her,"Are you alright?"
