Third place bout, people! Next is the finals, with Illua vs Gerald Tarrant
Edges:
Short Range: Sword wins. As I have said many, many times before: metal beats glass. Edge: Achilles
Mid Range: Koloss Sword wins. In terms of reach and power, the sword outclasses the spear. It helps that it can bifurcate an armored human in one strike, too. Edge: Vin
Long Range: Pushed Coins win. I’ll go for an impossible-to-see and highly accurate armor-piercing coin that an inaccurate, easy to dodge Javelin any day. Edge: Vin
Special: Allomancy wins. Pewter means that Vin can overmatch Heracles in brute force (we saw what happened when Achilles tried to take him on), Tin means that she can spot Achilles anywhere, Atium means that she can read his moves and dodge all of his blows and follow them up with perfect counterstrikes 100% of the time, and Steel and Iron means that she can Push and Pull on the metals that he wears, and can either knock him over with his own armor or strike him with his own sword. She can also burn Duralumin to strengthen any of these effects. Against that, that shield got nuthin’, since it can be influenced by Steel and Iron, too. Edge: Vin
Vin won, 13-11. "ll write and post the battle tomorrow; calc homework prevented me from doing so today.
And as a heads up, the fight scene may be unrealistic. Any scenario where Achilles survives more than 30 seconds against Vin is unrealistic.
Battle[]
Achilles finds himself in Luthadel at night, walking through the streets. Vin, following him, Pushes some coins towards the warrior. They take him by surprise, nearly puncturing his armor. He staggers, and draws his blade, looking for his opponent. Vin Pulls on his armor, launching herself into the air and staggering Achilles. She then Pushes on it, further disorienting him as she lands and draws her daggers.
Achilles closes in to attack her, but she is Burning Atium. She moves out of the way with inhuman speed, and carves a deep gash into his sword arm. The gash weakens his grip enough that Vin can Pull the sword from his grasp, and catches it. Achilles readies his spear, and charges at Vin. Still Burning Atium, she dodges out of the way and burns Pewter to strengthen a strike to the haft of Achilles’ spear. With her unnaturally enhanced strength, the sword goes clean through the wood. With only his javelin available to him, Achilles throws it at Vin and misses her as she shoves off of his armor again and flies into the mists, Pushing his sword into his shoulder.
Achilles regains his balance and staunches the wound, and resumes patrolling the streets. A barrage of coins hit his shield, and he lowers it in time to see that Vin returned with a massive Koloss Sword. She swings it down while burning Pewter and Duralumin, cutting the stunned warrior in half.
