Battle 3: Sileo Nox VS Severina Calaudra - Stephen Pearson
+++Thought for the day+++
No sooner had the announcer finished introducing the battle than Severina was off. The first pickup point she visited contained a crossbow which she eagerly readied. Sileo was less fortunate. The pickup point he called at was booby trapped and he was lost in a cloud of smoke.
Severina hastily put on a carapace jacket she had found and was surprised to see a cloud of smoke at the other end of the arena and even more surprised to see Sileo emerge from it. Sileo ducked behind the wall after regaining his bearings. He only hoped Severina hadn't seen him.
He decided he was no match for her, he only had a flak jacket and she was armed with a crossbow, whip and carapace jacket, so he retreated to find himself a weapon. Lady Luck smiled on Sileo at the next pickup point as he found a shotgun.
Severina made a less than stealthy approach toward the pickup point in the centre of the arena. She was surprised once again to find a pool cue! Hearing Severina was near Sileo set up overwatch where he suspected Severina would emerge.
Luckily for him she walked straight into his trap but her carapace armour mostly absorbed the shot. Alerted to his position Severina closed in for the kill. Her first attacks bounced harmlessly off Sileo's armour. Sileo tried to press his advantage by distracting Severina and stepping back to let off his second shell.
He was surprised when his psychic attack failed and he found himself unable to find an opening to break from combat. Severina's next flurry of hits caught Sileo unawares and a lucky hit to the head left him stunned. Sensing the advantage Severina dropped the pool cue in favour of her whip.
Again and again she whipped Sileo, and whilst he was able to dodge some of blows the shear ferocity of the attack overwhelmed him. Three blows to head left Sileo unconscious and Severina victorious once more.
