A dark figure, wearing form-fitting black armor from head-to-toe, a glowing red visor that pierced the fog, and a large broadsword that was heaved over the warrior's shoulder.
"...That's probably not a good guy." Maria said, flashing a shaky smile.
The dark figure didn't say anything, he- it merely stayed motionless, almost as if it was a statue that was standing there the whole time.
Yuki stared at the figure, or rather...at the weapon the warrior was carrying, hypnotized. That was...
"Yuki-san! Get down!"
The hero felt a small body crash into her abdomen, sending her to the ground as a blade slashed violently above her horizontally...right where her neck used to be.
She growled as she realized that she nearly got herself killed by getting distracted.
The young human quickly recovered from her fall and got back on her feet, with the hero materializing her katana and charging forward with her blade at the ready.
The dark figure brought it's large sword to bear and swung down to where the female hero was moving towards, trying to predict her movements.
However, Yuki caught wind of the tactic and swiftly jumped over the vertical swing, giving her an excellent shot for the warrior's head for her blade.
Yellow eyes were sharp as the young human thrust Sakuya towards the dark figure's helmet.
But it wasn't meant to be, as it managed to quickly use it's broadsword's hilt as a shield to glance Sakuya's blade away instead of taking the full brunt of the attack. It was that quick maneuver however, that allowed for the warrior to viciously bring a fist out and smash it towards the female hero's abdomen now that her defenses were open.
Yuki's eyes widened as the gauntlet-covered fist came sailing towards her, but with her weapon too far away to utilize as a defense, she instead used her free arm to cross her stomach to hopefully take most of the damage.
When the fist finally connected, the attack embedded itself into her arm and sent her backwards, sliding away on the ground.
The hero used her blade and impaled it onto the soil, using it as a way to slow her down as she cradled her left arm. Just as a silver blur ran past her and took their shot at the dark figure.
Maria herself rushed forward the second she got up from the ground, taking a shot at the warrior's legs to hopefully neutralize the helmeted jerk!
As the succubus raised her fists to attack, the warrior recovered enough to bring it's blade towards the ground and slash at it. Bringing forth a large amount of dust and soil out of the ground.
The half-devil responded efficiently, using the fists that she was about to throw at the mysterious figure and instead send it towards the ground, not allowing the dust that the warrior made to reach her eyes.
Even more dust flew into the air as the soil gave way easily under the loli's strength, clouding up the area even more when combined with the fog.
The warrior backed up a little bit, wary of the disadvantage it was put under. When facing two opponents, it wasn't wise to lose sight of them...
But it seemed that it didn't have to worry, as the little silverette from before pierced through the fog and dust to charge in alone.
Perfect.
As the dark figure brought forth it's blade to brutally slash it's adversary in half, she suddenly stopped in her tracks and backed up inexplicably.
Although she did have a crooked grin on her face as she did so...
Then suddenly, it's original adversary sallied forth from the now-obscure battlefield, bringing her blade towards it's helmet.
The unknown warrior quickly continued it's course of action and intercepted the upward swing of the katana, a sharp *clang* accompanying the clash.
Yuki grit her teeth as she felt the warrior push her back steadily, it's greater strength beginning to force her feet to slide backwards, the fact that her other arm was still weak didn't help.
As the two locked with one another, Maria used this chance to jump over the female human and raise her foot in the air. Before swinging it down towards the head of the dark warrior, intent on ending the battle then and there.
The warrior, with it's superior strength, switched from pushing the female hero back to forcing their interlocked blades up. Using it as a shield, but mostly as well as a weapon with their sharp edges facing the succubus.
Maria's eyes widened, if her foot crashed against two supernatural blades...!
The hero quickly acted after getting over her initial shock, using the lack of force against her to push the interlocking blades towards the mysterious warrior, presenting the flat of their blades to the falling half-devil.
Maria immediately crashed her foot onto the blades, the force of which was enough to push the weapons towards the warrior's body. But not enough to actually send it to the ground.
The silverette would fix that shortly!
"It's over!" Maria declared, bringing out a small fist and smashing it into the armored individual's face. Sending it sliding back along the road, it's feet grinding harshly against the hard concrete.
Yuki and Maria formed up next to one another, prepared for another attack by their assailant. Watching as the warrior was covered by the thick fog...
Silence descended upon them, as the mist seemingly sided with their enemy, as if it was almost alive...
"Impressive..." a voice rumbled, piercing the fog that surrounded the duo. "It's unfortunate that we can't continue our battle...but I've found what I needed to know. I assure you however...we will meet again."
