The Start~

[Bryan]

"Because some value something more then money..." He answer calm as he look around, notice slowly night is coming he turn on the flashlight as he look around with it

[Ataraxia]

"I see, do you what weapon is for?" she asks Bryan as she approach the dig site looking around a bit before turning her flashlight on.

[Bryan]

"Weapons are tool... It's on each person how they use it" He answer as he look over the sky before nods few timesa and check how much did they dig "Soon we will have enough... Good"

[Ataraxia]

After hearing it Ata just shakes her head disappointed. Like she heard something unpleasant. "Let me see..."

She then out of nowhere dashes towards Bryan about to deliver a roundhouse kick into his torso.

[Bryan]

Bryan notice the movement of the dragon girl, she if faster that's for sure but extra distance give him enough time to react by moving backwards as he pull out his gun and aim at her, looking at her through iron sight "What you think you doing?"

[Ataraxia]

With her tail she grabs a stone and throw it at Bryan, aiming straight at his chest as she now runs towards him, prepared to dash either to left or right when he will try to avoid it in order to attack him with straight kick

As he's aiming for her he would need to either shot at her and get shot by fast stone she throwed a moment ago or avoid it and get caught by her attack, she wonders what he will do now.

[Bryan]

Bryan didn't even think about anything as he just aim and fire his gun, practicly shattering the stone as bullet fly straight into the dragon girl. If she avoide it he not really have much to think off beside pulling out flashbang grenades of his jacket and throw them in front of her as he cover his eyes.... Welp let's hope shrapnels will not damage her too much

[Ataraxia]

"Huh hmm..." She react by making a fast slide as it happens to avoid the shot, then quickly kick herself up from the ground to keep up momentum "Self-thought... and not half bad... still..."

She mumbles to herself as now she's close enough to kick at Bryan arm, kick would be hard enough to send him flying to the side.

[Bryan]

He grunts as he was sent flyign to the side by the kick, rolling over before stand up. His left arm move over his right as he stroke the sides, checking slightly for any bones break or shatter before nods

[Ataraxia]

"Your technique... lacks something." she said.

Bryan arm could feel very stiff and hurtful, it feels numb but he can move his fingers so it's nothing super serious, but will most likely leave big bruise.

Ataraxia don't wait as she dashes after Bryan, she knows that against midrange to long range enemy if she can keep it close he will be kept forced to move back and she won't let him.

Instead of kicking him this time she would grab his other arm on the wrist with her clawed hand, squishing it hard. "Now I see it, you deny your weapon it's purpose." she said while looking up at him.

[Bryan]

"Maybe you are faster and stronger... But lack tactical view" He answer as he feel his hand twisted but instead of trying fight the Ataraxia he use his free hand just to stick something over her skin, looking like small chip. After that without warning he click something on the PDA and send electric shock over her body, strong enough to hurt but not enough to do real damage

[Ataraxia]

"Huh?" as she felt something being put on her she could just say int time "You idio...!" as her words being cut off my electric shock over covering her whole body.

The idea was good, but Bryan forgot about something important, as Ataraxia was holding his other hand, the sudden electric shock have forced her muscles to close her hand under the effect of electric spams, while earlier Ataraxia was able to control her grip and strength here she cannot.

Her hand grips Bryan other arm as hard as it could through the whole ordeal of being shocked, damaging his wrist internal structure due to pressure she put over it, but it left her stunned.

She herself had nothing on her that grounded electric shock but Bryan coat most likely did.

[Bryan]

Bryan knows it will hurt his arms.... Not expect just like this as he groan in pain from the wrist being crush from the grip. As he feel pain he release the button to stop the shock so he could just kick the Ataraxia of him before prepare to give her another shock.

[Ataraxia]

As shocks gone away she can feel her grip being at ease, loosening it's grasp. only to see Bryan kick her.

She gets turn around by the kick, she went with the momentum of it to spin herself and extend her thick scaly tail in order to hit Bryan into his other arm like a club.

If she hits him with her tail she would jump at him and hold him in place with her arms under his, in order to block him from moving.

"Your weapon... it yearns to bathe in blood of your enemies... but you hold it back." she says behind him

[Bryan]

"Get... off me" he grunts and try to shake off, his PDA drop so he could not really shock her as he try to get free. moving his arms around before grunts and just growl, moving his head back as the only idea he have was to bash her nose and face with back of his skull

[Ataraxia]

Ata is familiar with how to somewhat try and counter this technique, and she doesn't let him by moving her head to the side.

"Now now... calm down, I am giving you important lesson... That you shouldn't bring a 'tool' to the fight. Next time bring a weapon, don't deny it's feast, don't hold back ever, it'll come a time when it'll hurt you, I bet it did already in the past few times and you were lucky to get by but it won't be all the time." she sighs a bit.

"Now I am going to gently let you go and we all are happy. We have work to do and I made sure to not injure you or at least I did my best as it's not in my intention to do so, now don't do funny things."

She said as she release Bryan arms and jump back a bit to let him have a space, he should feel at ease once he have distance again.

[Bryan]

He scuffle and let off her grip as he look at her annoyed before walk to the PDA and pick it up, not really want to talk with her. He check what and how the progress is on digging when he keep right arm in pocket...

Digging is done to 93%!

[Ataraxia]

"Don't be too angry about that, this is what happen when you bring tool to the real fight... Don't ever say that your weapon is 'tool of justice'" she sighs annoyed by the sound of it.

"Anyway how long?"

[Bryan]

"93% procent" he answer shortly as he look over the PDA before hide it.
