"As were you", Shadow says to himself, somefow empathically knowing what his newfound friend was thinking.
"Perhaps someday we can do battle side by side." |

Janus: "A draw it is, then. Now if you'll excuse me, I need some medical attention."
Janus sits on his bag and floats away from the scene of the battle, proud of his performance and glad he was able to meet a new friend. Looking down, he notices the giant craters he and Shadow managed to make.
"Sheesh, this place looks like an episode of DBZ... Remind me to never do something like that again..."
Janus takes his gun, closes his eyes, and opens them, glowing the same blue color. Almost instantly the gun disappears, never to be seen again. As Janus floats off into the sunset, he reflects, and wonders. Why does he fight? What is he fighting for? Will he regain his lost cause? Janus decides that he does not know the answer to any of this, but someday, he will find out.
"Later, Shadow. You were definitely a challenge." |

"I won'tlet a match so well and closely fought by us both be called a win for either of us. With your consent, I'd like to declare this match a draw. you are truly a worthy opponent."
Shadow takes Grey's hand, and shakes it with all of the strength that he can muster. |

Reloading his gun's clip, Janus holsters it and wrenches himself out of the tree. It's obvious that he's in no condition for fighting any more. Bruised, bleeding, and weary from the shots fired, Janus requires the support of his bag just to stand.
Janus: "If you truly understand that, then I don't think I need to fight anymore. Truce?"
Janus leans toward Shadow, and extends his hand.
"You're right, not all conflicts have to end with violence, I let this get out of hand. If you won't, then I surrender." |

Massive explosions being wrought all around him, Shadow gets hit on the edge of one or two. Clinging onto the edge of life, Shadow weakly asks,
"How about a compromise? If not, I'm just going to throw everything that I have at you, and you'll return the favor. No one'll make it out alive, and we'll not be the wiser because of it. Not all conflicts have to end in violence, you know." |

OOC: Fairly incorrect, the bullet is normal sized, weighs 350 grams, travels at 3X10^3 meters per second, and is charged with 3.15X10^12 joules, which is about 1.3 tons of dynamite. In short, my friend, a small object has wrought a huge amount of energy. Also, the damn thing's traveling at light speed, how the hell are you gonna lasso it?
And another thing, I'm not ignoring the massive pain that's coming from firing these things, you mind not ignoring the gigantic explosions erupting all around you?
Bracing himself, Janus empties his clip (that's five more bullets), digging a Janus-shaped hole in the tree, the bark digging into his back but otherwise not hurting him (the tree is making an excellent brace). Expect massive explosions all around Shadow. |

"It is not in me to surrender!", yells Shadow.
Thinking frantically, Shadow gets an idea. Grabbing a rope from his belt loop, Shadow starts twirling it in a form reminiscient of a lasso. Lassoing the explosive bullet, He swings it around his head and releases it into the general direction that it came from.
OOC: I'm assuming that your bullet is moderately fist-sized based on the punch that it packed from the last explosion. |

As the shot hit the tree Janus was aiming for, the force of the shot blew the tree open, scattering chunks of wood everywhere and blowing another shockwave outward from the tree, clearing every tree in a 100 foot radius. If he's in the air, Shadow should go flying, and will have to watch out for scattering trees. As for Janus, all that force requires an equal and opposite force. Janus is sent flying through the air due to the recoil from his weapon and is slammed into a tree, but still manages to control the gun enough to fire another explosive bullet, this time more towards Shadow's general direction.
Janus: "I told you, Shadow. I told you I wanted to end this fight. You still have a chance to give up, this is just hurting both of us. I can't take much more, and I know you can't either. Do you surrender?" |

Running for his life, Shadow can only pray that his opponents weapon will strike a tree. With all of the strength that he could muster, Shadow leaps into the air. |

Janus' shoulders slump, and he bows his head.
Janus: "If that is what you wish... I shall oblige."
Janus closes his eyes, takes out his recently gotten gaming artifacts, and concentrates.
"Shadow, now I will show you the true extent of my abilities. As I recall and control varied abilities from gaming history, so do I have the ability to shape and mold them as I see fit. I can combine techniques, improve upon them, and basically modify them so they fit my current situation. So shall I do with these three devices right here."
Janus continues to concentrate, as the two Materia begin to break apart. As they dissolve, he sets his bag on the ground, kneels, opens the bag, and lets them fall into it. He then takes the Deagle and places it in the bag. A bright flash suddenly emanates from the bag, and dies down as fast as it came, and Janus places his hand in the bag and withdraws a new weapon: A strange, silver and teal pistol comes out, crackling with electrical energy. Janus stands up. As he holds the gun, his hand shakes, and his voice stutters. He is clearly afraid to use this new weapon.
"S-shadow, the average .50 caliber Deagle round weighs roughly 350 grams. F-fired at the normal m-muzzle velocity it's enough to pierce a kevlar vest. M-my ability to combine these items has given it a m-massive increase in velocity. The lightning energy has charged the gun so that it now f-fires its bullets at 186000 miles per second -- th--the speed of light--and electricity. However, this causes the bullet itself to become unstable, meaning it's useless--as a normal gun--and c-can no longer pierce armor. That's fine with me, because the increased muzzle velocity gives it a n-newfound degree of power that I'm s-sure you'll find interesting."
Janus steels himself, stops stuttering, and takes aim with the weapon at where Shadow's voice came from. It didn't matter if he was on the mark, Shadow'd get the message soon enough.
"Einstein's Theory of Relativity states that a large amount of energy can be wrought from a small object. His most famous formula, where energy equals an object's mass times the speed of light squared, proves that if traveling fast enough, any object can gain a massive amount of kinetic energy. This bullet will be traveling that fast. Do the math, Shadow. When it hits anything, it'll strike with an amount of energy comparable to over 2000 pounds of dynamite exploding! The sheer shockwave alone is enough to annihilate an office building! Can you handle that?"
Aiming at a tree near Shadow's relative location, Janus screams in anxiety, "And the worst part of it all is this is just the TIP OF THE ICEBERG!"
His eyes glowing that eerie blue color brightly, Janus fires! |

"I'm cot one to give up, so I'm not going to. Do your worst."
Shifting his footing, Shadow readies himself for anything that might happen. |

As he cannot see Shadow, Janus instead reverts his hammer to bag form, sits down, and takes another disc out of his bag. He is clearly looking to end this fight, and is now visibly exhausted. His eyes glow blue for a second, and he can be heard mumbling as he studies the disk.
Janus: "A gun, some gun, any gun at all will do.... Please give me a gun!"
The disk breaks open, and in Janus' hands sits a small pistol, metallic in color, with a black grip on the handle. A .50 caliber Desert Eagle, c/o Half-Life: Counter-Strike, complete with three clips of ammunition. Janus is once again dismayed, but hopeful.
".....It'll do. Not an automatic weapon, and certainly not enough to stand up against that rifle, but powerful if I can create the correct conditions."
Janus stands up and removes the two Materia from his bag. Their glow is reduced to a mere glimmer, and Janus sighs before considering his next move. As he walks around, between trees and in search of Shadow, he speaks.
"Shadow, I do not wish to do what I am about to do. My next attack is one of my strongest, and I'm afraid of what may happen to my surroundings if I manage to pull it off. Consider this your last chance to give up, or call this match a draw. It's your choice."
Janus stands still, and waits for his opponent's response. |

Fearing elestricity, Shadow hides behind a random tree. Janus not seeing where he went to, will have to get the trees out of the way. |

But already the hammer is back in action, as Janus attempts to smack the missle away from himself. Rather than a direct hit by the missile, Janus is instead thrown against a tree by the sheer force of the missile's blast. He struggles to his feet, dizzy from the surprising power Shadow's last attack showed. Though he refuses to show it in his actions, Janus' wounds are beginning to add up...
Janus: "Grr, what the hell was that? Homing missiles..... An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, I guess..."
Janus suddenly swings his hammer, and the green Materia attached to it activates! Janus draws the blue Elemental Materia from his pocket and hooks that to his bag, as well. The hammer becomes enveloped in currents of electricity, and it's obvious what Janus has done to power up his melee attacks.
"Shadow, though only a common standalone attack, Lightning elemental techniques are, to say the least, a very jolting experience for those who are hit by them, if I can use a pun. If you're hit by my hammer while it's charged with this electricity, I can guarantee you're in for a shock!"
Janus leaps at Shadow, brandishing his newfound electrical weapon! |

Hoping to evade, Shadow dives to the ground. Using the wrong evasive manuever, Shadow gets hit. Struggling to his feet, He loads his trusty rifle.
"Heat sound good?"
Firing a heat-seeking homing missile, Shadow hopes to avenge himself, still reeling from that last blow. |

Hoping Shadow'd try to lunge for the disc again, the bullet hole in Janus's latest disc reveals its true identity; That of a blank CD. Janus is dismayed at the return of projectile weaponry, and is beginning to show a slight bit of fear in his eyes, which have stopped glowing.
Janus: "Damn! I was hoping you'd fall for that. Nice shot, Shadow. I didn't expect that from you. Guess this means I'll have to up the ante!"
Janus takes a step towards Shadow and immediately stumbles, a strange pain lancing through his left leg. He has been hit in the leg by one of Shadow's stray bullets. It's not looking good for Janus, who pulls another disc out of his bag and immediately breaks it open, leaving his latest acquisition entirely up to chance.
"I hope this works..."
Janus closes his eyes for a moment, then instantly opens them again, his eyes flaring that strange blue color for an instant, and dying down just as quickly. He has a look of surprise and anxiety in his face.
"Magic Missile? Over 150 documented D&D spells and I have to get the one single crappy offensive one? Grrr... Oh well, at least it gives me a projectile attack, even if it is a small one."
Janus points his finger at Shadow, chants something, and instantly a small ball of magical energy flies out of his finger! (It's a small, low damage magic spell that homes in on its target, but can be blocked or evaded if done so correctly.) |

Learning from the first time, Shadow brings out his rifle. Aiming for the new disk, he shoots carefully.
"Aww, fuck it."
Shooting sporradically, Shadow hopes to hit his mark. |

"Wrong Move!" Janus says as his eyes glow a strange blue color. The disc breaks before Shadow can reach it, and the results are immediately apparent. Janus leaps out of Shadow's way, but before he does Shadow can see that Janus now holds in his hand a small green stone: Another Materia.
Janus: "Perfect, it's just what I wanted. The abilities I recall may be random most of the time, but give me a few seconds and I can recall nearly anything! Fortunately, this type of attack is rather common in FFVII, so I don't need to search too long to get it!"
Janus hooks the green stone onto his satchel, and takes out another disc... |

Dreading what that disk contains, Shadow lunges at Janus and attempts to steal the disk.
"Gimme!" |

....Except the staff's not broken. Instead, Janus is knocked backwards, having absorbed most of the shock of Shadow's attack.
Janus: "You're not gonna break this weapon. It's made of the same stuff the bag is lined with, meaning it can loosen and strengthen at will. You saw it when the bag became hammer-like, it's almost insubstantial. As I control it, I can transfer its physical state to my liking, in this case, to a non solid form. Unfortunately, as you can see, all of that force has to go somewhere, and I'm not too keen on deflection techniques."
Janus puts the staff back in his bag pouch. It collapses neatly into the pocket from whence it came.
"I really can't stand this anymore, I'm growing tired of fighting with a handicap."
A look of annoyance on his face, Janus reaches into his satchel and pulls out a disc, and begins looking at it very closely. |
