Round n

As his shot missed, Sho noticed Joshua drag the garbage can around at him. He was unable to do anything about that "psyche", as it went, but he could dodge it and not allow Joshua to do more damage than he already had. It was probably a tad too late for that, but it didn't particularly matter. Defensive play could call for a huge comeback. Unlikely, incredibly so, but not impossible. The last moment tactic, work towards any single shining light of victory you can and hope for the best! If heroes could overcome insurmountable odds, surely the insane assassin could, too!

"Tangent!" Sho yelled as he shot one more red energy ball at Joshua, preserving his power as he charged for more, stronger attacks. Right before the garbage can hit him, he teleported out of the way, behind Joshua, moving around again. Following was okay, but it still wasn't as good for Joshua as it would be if Sho stood still and acted like a sitting duck. Which would never, ever happen. He was insane, but he wasn't stupid. He was just... crazy! "You moronic monomial!"

Well, good luck with that.

The garbage can had yet again failed to do anything, which was becoming par for the course at this stage. Rather than giving up on that plan, Joshua merely leaned out of the way of yet another poorly aimed red energy ball and prepared to throw the can at the man again. While it was still rising into the air, there was a shrill beep from Joshua's pocket, and his head dipped, one hand reaching into his jeans to pull out that ever present orange cellphone and begin punching buttons to presumably reply to a text. While this was going on, inexplicably the garbage can gained momentum and struck out at Sho with considerably more force than it had so far.

When Joshua had finished the rather short text "Hold on, cleaning roof, will get back 2u" and looked back up, it was to see the can streaking across the rooftop towards Sho who was actually behind him, in such a place that Joshua could not see him with his eyes. The garbage can went for him anyways. Joshua grinned happily, turning to face the place Sho was currently located. "Having fun yet?"

Sho was struck yet again by the garbage can, getting hit dead-on as Joshua replied to a text. That was just evil, Joshua. "You pathetic polynomial! I won't stop until you've been removed from the equation!" Sho sounded pretty angry, not that it really mattered at this point in time. He teleported away from that infernal garbage can, appearing right in front of Joshua and pretty much thrusting his palm into Joshua's face. "Inverse Matrix!" A red orb shot out, typically.

Sho was close to losing, but he wasn't gonna hand you the victory if he could help it! Especially not if you were playing on that phone while fighting; you could be cocky all you'd like, but it just meant he'd hope he'd scar your face with his attack, you prissy little knob! Sho teleported around now, giving up dashing entirely in favour of vanishing every few seconds. It'd be harder to follow him with the garbage this way. Besides, what did he have to lose at this point? It was pretty obvious Joshua had it in the bag, even if he refused to admit it.

Die!

Joshua tucked the cellphone back into his jeans pocket, looking forward to continuing that conversation soon, and looked back up in time to see something different. He saw very little, other than the palm of Sho's hand, right in front of his face. He could catch sight of a little bit of the rest of his foe's profile around the hand, enough to tell by the pose and the growing red light what Sho was intending to happen next. As such, he ducked. And not a moment too soon as the red ball of energy flew past his head, and Sho blinked out of existence, continuing his teleportation to save his own skin plan.

Joshua giggled once he'd straightened up again, flicking the garbage can back into the air to streak towards Sho whenever he popped back into existence. "You know, you can stop any time now. You've lost already and we both know it." No reason not to piss off the already livid Reaper, there was very little he could do about it. Joshua kept up his easygoing attitude, assured in his ability to win the combat that went beyond mere statistics. He was simply better than his opponent.

Joshua wrote:"You know, you can stop any time now. You've lost already and we both know it."

"It's not over until it's over, you irritating integer!" Sho argued, evidently still pretty pissed off at the stupid prissy little cock in front of him. That was you! In his eyes, anyway. We all know you're actually a wonderful little muffin of love and fun, Joshua. We would never think you weren't! Sho did, though, and as he teleported he continued to think this. Sho teleported away immediately as soon as the garbage can flew towards him, appearing elsewhere. It had woooorked.

Thrusting his arm out, Sho released two spinning circles of red energy balls, each hard to dodge but doable. They would spin rapidly when rocketing towards Joshua (the circles AND the orbs) and would require timing to dodge. As soon as this attack was done, Sho teleported behing Joshua again. He was still geared up, hoping he'd pull this out of nowhere. If he managed to, he'd probably be ecstatic at his hard-earned Composer title. If he didn't, he'd just come back later and try again! You couldn't stop Sho Minamimoto!

Or rather, you couldn't keep that guy down!

The can missed again, carrying on the trend of being relatively useless in the overall scheme of things, and Joshua set it down for the moment, base down as it would be on a curb, a dent that hadn't been there when he picked it up initially marring the surface. His grin widened at Sho's typical belligerent response even as attack had missed. No worries, he was in such a dominating position a simple miss at this point was completely irrelevant. Speaking of missing...

Sho thrust his arm out in a similar pose to what Joshua had been doing with the pistol earlier, shooting out two familiar spirals of red balls of energy that rapidly approached Joshua, close together. Keeping his grin in place, Joshua skipped to the side, using telekinesis to push his body just a little bit further than a normal skip would take him, just out of the spread of the firepower Sho had aimed his way. He strived to make it look as effortless as possible, but it really hadn't been, it had taken more effort than he was used to expending. Luckily, his brain was capable of handling a lot of things at once, and he was already hurling the can from its stationary position to a spot in general behind where he had been standing. Sho was nothing if not predictable in where he liked to be, he wasn't the most photogenic, preferring to be behind the camera more than in front of it.

Ha haaaaaa, but unluckily for you, Sho decided to defy your logic this turn! Teleporting, he teleported to Joshua's right side rather than behind him, causing the garbage can to fly past his previous location and not hit him. Good job, Joshua! Sho-a gonna ween! Except probably not, not even with a Waluigi-esque accent. Sho teleported to Joshua's left side, keeping the ball rolling as he refused to dash around anymore. He was way past that! He was also pretty much out of purple bolts. He might try one more if he persevered enough, but otherwise, naaah. No point.

Sho thrust his arm out again, not really paying attention to Joshua's movements enough to know how much trouble Joshua had had avoiding it; Sho just knew this tended to be effective sometimes. "So zetta slow!" Sho fired off two more rounds of red energy balls, same as last turn. They were pretty fun to weave through, right, Joshua? Let your multitasking brain take it aaaaaaall in. Sho would do his best, nonetheless. It was all he had, what with his bloody HP being so damn low compared to yours and all. Where were the melee attackers when you needed 'em?

Take that!

Though he hadn't turned out exactly where Joshua had expected, the claim of him liking his place behind the camera was still true, as he landed to the side, out of Joshua's direct vision in order to dodge the flight of the ungainly metal missile. While he spun towards the ridiculous mathematical loser, his vision focused once again on a pair of red, circling balls of energy, and he used some of the momentum of his spin to once more attempt to lean out of their path. He was less successful this time around, as the second in the series managed to graze his shoulder as it passed, shooting a stab of pain up his arm and causing his casual expression to harden for just a moment, before he forced his gaze to clear once more and reflect the scorn he felt for the one who was obviously trying his best, even as Sho failed.

The can was flicked back up into the air before it managed to touch the ground and shot back towards the place Joshua thought most likely for Sho to appear, and then deflected away in a distinctly unnatural trajectory to attempt to strike in another location shortly afterwards. In an optimal situation, both would hit. In a suboptimal case, one, and in the worst case scenario, neither. Joshua did not consider the worst case as he continued to turn in an effort to keep the enemy in front of him, fruitless as that effort might seem.
