OoC:Well here I go this is an open challenge, anyone welcome....
The sun held at high noon.
Walking along a winding path she thought to herself,
“What a strange planet…”
Her hair blew in the wind, she pulled it up tying it with a silver band. Looking around she was amazed at the scenery of the planet. The lush green grass being displaced by her soft step as she moved through the field of wildflowers that seemed to be filled with life as they swayed to and fro.
She come upon a clearing, looking up she saw the bright pink sky, color altered by the clashing energy of the two suns. It was hot, she sat down by the cool stream that ran through the clearing, reaching in she grabbed a fish. Picking up a long slender branch she impaled the fish. she gathered some brush together and started a fire. Positioning the fish over the fire to cook, she then leaned back stretching her arms out behind her firmly planting them on the ground...

Tipping the jug to her lips, a clear liquid drained out into her mouth; a stream of it sliding down the side of her chin. Cringing slightly, she took a second glance at the wooden canteen. "[/color]Bagero!"
The old man had sold her bad sake, the little fiend. Sneering at the canteen, she chucked it aside to the bank of the river. Contemplating how she'd make the little-old man pay in the morning, she continued her gradual pace back to camp. Coming to the clearing ahead, she could finally relax and sleep off the night after dinner; grinning to the corpse she had slung across her back, a freshly slaughtered elk, she knew she'd eat well tonight.
But a flash caught her eye, the southern sun's light shone into her sight, blurring it, as it reflected off of something in the distance. It wasn't anything of hers, she had packed up camp and heaved it over a tree branch a little bit to the east. It was possible a bird had left a coin but unlikely... who was in her camp? Her lip curled, if there was only one thing that pis*ed her off the most, it was someone trespassing on her campsite.
"Ah?! Nihonjin?" she yelled out in an offended tone.
No response, but she could see movement. She had stirred them. More frustrated this time, she repeated, "Ah?! Nihonjin?!"
Again, nothing.
"Eigo... English," she muttered to herself.
"So you're english, are you? Well get the hell out of my camp."
Now she could see the trespasser, a blonde woman with armored knuckles. The knuckles and wrist brace were what had flashed her. The woman had stood up and was staring at Aundrea quite defiantly. It was a 'Who are you to tell me what to do?', type glare, the normal attitude of those women. Poor girl hadn't a clue who she was standing up against and for that, she'd probably die tonight.
Tossing the carcass into the clearing, Aundrea slid her right hand down onto Amanomurakumo's sheath. Stepping into the light, her dirty blonde hair radiated a crimson aura, similar to her clothing, because of the glare of the red sun above. Sliding her tongue across her teeth, she shot a furious glare at the girl before her.
Dodging the airborn projectile, the young woman stole a glance at Aundrea before she was clubbed in the face with the second sandal.
“Ow, hey! What did you do that for?”
Leaning forward she rubbed her face with her hand. Feeling her forehead, there was a small lump…
Letting out a snarl she screamed,
“I’ll make you pay for this, humph.”
Looking at her attacker, Gemmei started walking over to her….She stepped close, their breath rushing around each others faces. Gemmei reaching in front of her grabbed her opponents collar. A grin appeared on Gemmei’s face. Snapping into motion she pulled her toward her with incredible force their heads colliding with a vigorous thump.
The hit startled them both making them stumble backward. Gemmei snapping out of it and hurtled herself forward.
“EisenFaust! Feel thy power!”
A violet light surrounded Gemmei’s fist , propelling it forward it collided with her enemies nose.
Grasping her nose blood came rushing through her slender fingers. She snapped her head up, her line of vision meeting with a shadow falling from the sky. Gemmei with her fingers interlocked gave a sharp cry, using the force of her downward decent she pulled her hands toward her enemy. Gemmei’s motion stopped not actually making physical contact. She was hovering within millimeters of her opponents back .
“Ha, thought I’d spare ya?”
Bursts of energy came from her fists. A force suppressed her opponent, slamming her to the ground sending rocks up into the air from the impact.
Gemmei jumped back and readied herself in a defensive stance.
*Bump*
"Baaaaka," Aundrea muttered to herself, in regards to the english woman.
Pulling herself into a relaxed sit, her legs woven and hand cradling her nose, she squinted one eye and shot a cold stare towards Gemmei. "So des'?"
Wiping her face of the blood and pulling herself to a standing position, she rotated her shoulder cuffs and her neck. "Okay then, girl, warm-ups are through," Aundrea snickered, a slight tint of amusement lining her voice.
Sliding her left palm onto Amanomurakumo's sheath, she dropped the hilt lower to the ground. "Ready then?" she asked cockily.
Gemmei's eyes caught the first motion of Aundrea's right hand flying down onto the scabbard of the weapon and the blade being drawn but somewhere between, Gemmei's body twisted backward and was launched into the air as a massive force cut into her body. Blood took flight from her, a gaping wound shearing itself open; a simple glint of pain arced from just above her right breast, followed by a searing heat and muddled signals of feeling. Stretching across her sternum and ending at the border of her juggular, a blade-shaped flesh wound surfaced.
Dashing in towards Gemmei after the original strike hit, the half-airborne Gemmei was left defenseless as blood sprung from her wound.

Dropping her body's center of gravity into a kneeling position as she slid to a halt beside Gemmei, Aundrea slipped the Amanomurakumo from its sheath elegantly in a one-handed vertical slash, it's edge sweeping under the wounded woman. Twisting the blade by the hilt and then pulling it above her head, she met her right hand with her left and held the blade ready for a downward strike. Without cause or effect, electricity exploded from inside the weapon, an erratic charge of amethyst energy surrounding the blade in a powerful elemental aura. Brandishing a gnarled smile, Aundrea drug the blade down into Gemmei's falling body, the eruption of energy within the blade transferring into the woman. Somehow, Gemmei managed to slip her two armored gloves between the blade and a lethal blow to her abdomen, but the charged force of the blade smashed her arms into her waist and flung her into the ground. Hitting the earth with massive force, her body ragdolled as it skipped across the campsite.
Aundrea grunted with displeasure, her attempted quick finish failing. Turning the Amanomurakumo's mune to the earth, she resheathed and locked it with her left thumb. Still, she was amused, though. Even from here, she could see Gemmei's hands tremble in shock and their odd spiderweb-like discolorment, the electricity transferring into them and charring her veins black.
