Archippos Farms
---------------
Daritoe
It had been some time now since Daritoe had left the Fields of Flame to do something other than talk and plan just to bring the other person back with him. He had participated in Lace's tournament, but that was short lived, so it wouldn't surprise him if certain parts of Faerune had forgotten about him... Minus all the weirdo's that came to him for power... It sickened him that such pathetic beings actually thought they were retrieving something from Daritoe... One reason why he'd never worshiped before... It was so... Human and mortal bearing, something that Daritoe couldn't stand.
Appearing on the outskirts of White City... Oh a familiar place of course, one where he'd made a deal with the White Queen to destroy some water lady... The Archippos Farms... He imagined the the White Queen wasn't too fond of him anymore since he'd destroyed her precious Garden... Hell she was lucky that was all he'd taken from her... In fact, that just made him delve into thought even more... FAERUNE! Was lucky that everything he'd taken so far was all he had taken. Daritoe had the power to destroy with merely the flash of his eyes... Hell he didn't even need to do that! His aura was destructive enough, and that was just a constant source of energy outlining him like waving purple fire...
Upon his appearance the normal would happen... The temperature of the area would grow into that of a sweltering desert. Any vegetation around him would char, and that familiar smell of mint seemed to rise over the area... Daritoe was here... And he wasn't happy... Under the impression he was becoming forgotten, he came with a purpose today... And that purpose was to destroy. To gain power, to let the world know they haven't escaped his wrath... To show them that even in his absence he'd been harnessing his abilities and had grown even stronger.
Standing at a massive eighteen feet tall, Daritoe folded his arms over his chest. A pair of purple lit eyes glared to his surrounding from beneath the darkness that shadowed his face from the thick black mane that sat atop his head and flowed in waves down to his shoulders... To go with his massive size, he'd be ripped with muscle from head to toe. His appearance was powerful, and the energy surrounding him seemed to crackle off of him like he were the sun shooting out solar flares because his power was far to great to contain within his gargantuan body.
He was truly a force to recon with, and he was making that ever so clear at the moment... Now all he had to do was sit and wait for someone to show up... Because as always, Daritoe is not a being left alone for too long.

Knuckaclo
::His travels did lead him through the White City yet, never a time during the day did he expect that he would want to end up in this specific area. yet, something, someone, drew his mind to come here. He wasn't sure if it was a power or, he wanted some vegetables to eat or something but, he knew that today he was fated to meet in such an area. With his reasons still unknown, he would make entrance upon the farm, the whole reason then instantly hitting him.
It wasn't as if one couldn't feel the intense power that was radiating from such an area like this, how unusual it was for the place. How, the heat picked up in such a way yet, he wasn't even close to the crops yet. However, for each step he took, the heat grew in strength and he knew what was going on. It was that of power that drew his own to the area, and with a grin to his lips, crimson eyes would take glance towards where he felt the origin once, feet stepping heavily into the ground with weighted thuds as he made his way.
It wasn't but a few seconds later that the man was spotted, hell, he was eighteen feet and now pretty well dwarfed Knuck. The power he used to feel from the same person has, increased in an intense rate but yet, knowing the possible dangers of approaching just drew him in even more. It was going to be an interesting day for sure, and this Orc intended to make the best of it.
His form was, nothing different from when Daritoe had last met him, about the only difference being that the unseen weights were much heavier then before. He wore nothing but a black belt, dark brownish baggy pants and boots that were made for what ever battle situation he needed. Obviously to the others senses though, the Orc grew very slightly stronger, every day, and a bit more so every time they met. Sure he wasn't, eighteen feet now, but he was still his own force of green fury.
A deep breath soon escaped him though, the Orc stopping at a distance just close enough for him to lightly toss a row of corn at the massive titan. Then, as always during there meetings, a grin would creep upon his lips as his head tilted to the side slightly, hair dangling loosely against his form. A nod to the other soon after before he would speak gentle words::
"Someone take a growth formula? Or is it just me... I knew I felt something odd in this area"

Daritoe
Feeling Knuckaclo enter the area, he'd turn to face the ferocious green being. As of late, Knuckaclo's presence had been quite familiar... It seemed as though the Orc decided that the Fields of Flame was a suitable training ground, and Daritoe left him alone for that soul purpose... Of course he'd want his adversaries to train, and what better place than the Fields of Flame, after all, Knuckaclo never bothered Daritoe unless there was a reason, and today... Daritoe was going to give him. He wanted to see how much this green skinned beast had improved... He wanted to see what fires the Orc could put himself through to penetrate the flesh of the massive Titan... He knew Knuckaclo to be like many others when it came to his pride in fighting... But there was a difference between Knuckaclo and everyone else... The Orc was dedicated, and that's what why Daritoe respected him so...
"Hmmm... If only there were a formula for what working toward... Then it'd make what I'm about to do here pointless."
With that he'd raise his left arm out to his side, hand up, fingers spread wide, and let the energy around him gather gather like a spiral, spinning its way into a basket ball sized orb. He wasn't aiming at Knuckaclo or anything in particular... But there was a nice place off to his left that housed horses that were used for many different things.
With a light flash of his eyes the ball of pure destructive energy would launch from his palm like a rocket... So fast you could see the energy trialing behind it! If it connected with the building, it'd probably explode a rather large hole into the side of it, killing a few horses if any where within a ten foot radius of the center of the blast... Anything it touched would be devoured to ash... Anything that didn't have a defense against heat... BUT! That'd be only if it connected with the barn side...
If Knuckaclo chose to step in the way, or stop the blast... The effects would be different... Considering the Orc was no chump, someone that being nonchalant about would only get you killed in a fight against, it'd probably just feel like being punched by someone of a strength similar to his own, wherever the hit landed... If it touched him... And if it touched him and he had no defense against the heated blast... It'd probably leave a nice burn mark against that scale tough skin of his....
If he managed to just knock the blast away... Well... It'd follow a random path from that point on and probably crash into the ground or the side of a mountain causing the rock to crater out and send dirt like fragmentation everywhere... But in a place that was far from them, leaving everything around the two in there current area unaffected by said attack.

Knuckaclo
::He watched what the man was doing with curiosity, wondering exactly how he had improved in his technique or how fast he could now accumulate and form a spell to be launched to its objective. A brow risen to the arm that was lifting but, as soon as the the arm made any sort of movement he was pushing energy out into the world and tampering it with anything. There was something he had learned, or well, wanted to try some time back but, it depending on the type of spell that was to be launched. It was however, a new spell to be made by the Orc so, to weave it quickly would leave it unstable. However, as the trail of doom left the Daritoe's hands well, now was a better time then any.
With a quick note of the path taken and where it was to go, he started to weave energy through the air. The weaving energy formed its tightly bound net in between the path of the Orb and what seemed to be a stable for animals. The net now woven tightly worked in a specific way, as any very tightly woven material would, if it caught something it would rebound. In which case he would hoped that it would serve the intended purpose of latch the orb, and reflecting it's path straight down to the ground as the angle was made for, yet with the ability still new well, it sort of... only helped a little bit.
The orb smashed against the net of energy and would probably slow a little bit, but with the lack of resistance the only thing the net would serve is for a whole to be torn in it and the orb would be thrown slightly off path. Enough, not to destroy the stables but, where it would land well, the Orc could only hope that it wasn't a crowd of some sort. At least, he had done something though, and he could work to improve on the ability for when it had to be used next time.
Crimson eyes, then turned back to the demonic figure, a soft sigh escaping the Orc's lips before he chuckled softly, giving Daritoe a glance of 'give me a second please' as he sat down and crossed his legs. Then, pulling up his right pants leg first, he would then detach the large weight from around his ankles and lower leg, doing the same to his other leg before holding one large wrap of weights in each hand as he stood back up. Then holding them out to the side he tilted his head to Daritoe with a grin::
"I see I am going to have to pick up a little bit of speed this time around..."
::With his arms straight out and the weight hanging down from his hands, he would hope that Daritoe gave him enough time to even take them off yet, at this point, he would just drop the weights from his hands and they would both create a large crater to the ground at his sides, dust and dirt flying up and into the air as the weights embedded there form to the dirt. At the same time was to start his first preparation of defense though.
This he was to do the whole time he even started to take off the weights. As normal, Lucifarah would work to gather energy from the demonic world he lived in. Vacuuming the energy into his demonic form through each strand of energy and then delivering it through his soul towards the Orcish soul joined to his. This would work, of course, to give the Orc a nearly unlimited supply of energy to use for spells::
---
Daritoe
Feeling Knuckaclo tug at the energy in his mana pool he'd nod at the grin... Daritoe wasn't one for smiles, so he'd have to excuse the seriousness of the angry Titan when one wasn't returned. Giving Knuckaclo his moment to gather himself he'd fold those massive arms of his over his chest. After the Orc stood back up... It was game on....
Arms dropped down to his sides, bending at the elbow, and hands curled into fists... A surge of power rolled over his body as if he were flexing the new found power... But that wasn't the case... It was a surge of energy he intended to use like a boost to a rocket... And so he did...
The massive energy would explode from behind him in all its mighty destructive and chaotic ways! His body lifted just inches from the ground and zoomed toward Knuckaclo like a NASCAR car... As he closed in on the being he'd lean forward and attempt to head but Knuckaclo in the face with his massive forehead... The closer Daritoe got the more intense the heat would grow... And a different effect would happen... If Knuckaclo didn't begin to put more energy into his spells, he'd find Daritoe's purple fire like aura breaking down and consuming the energy that Knuckaclo was pushing into his defenses... Daritoe was ultimate destruction... Anything he came in contact with became demolished...
As his form skid just inches in the air above the ground, it'd cause the earth and rock beneath him to fan out like water from a jet ski speeding through the ocean... As the debris flew up on either side of him, his dark aura seemed to zap at it, and course through it, then consume it causing it to look like waves of purple fire sprouting out of the ground... It was truly destructive...

Knuckaclo
::He could tell easily from how Daritoe reacted and how all composure changed that it was now time to take things to an intense level of combat. Crimson eyes scanning the man for each movement, senses now flaring at the slighest change to sound, sight, touch and even a movement and gathering of the different forms of energy. Things would quickly become more clear, observant, and easier to decipher as the moments passed. He was ready for anything to come at him now.
Yet, as it seemed, Daritoe was gathering energy, a surge powerful enough to boast through each vein of his body as if he were to show it off from what it seemed, but the energy of course, to serve a purpose. What that purpose was, well so far he didn't know but, he did know he was to fight out soon. At current moment how ever, he had pure energy to use and no defenses other then that, he wasn't sure how the heat was going to effect him but when the man left ground and began to launch himself towards the Orc, he was quick to find out.
The attack looked as if it was a straight on head butt, a brow risen to the idea of it but at the speed it was going, it was his to get away from it before anything. Yet, with the attack he was going to preform well, it would take careful timing and definitely careful foot work. His feet pressing harshly to the ground and his knee's bending very slightly, the heat was coming to him quick yet so far, so good.
Once the man was at a close enough distance the Orc would jump up from the ground, rather then go under and risk getting smashed by the flying debris and the demon, he was to go above it all to avoid both and if needed make an easier escape, yet to attack from this point was harder... If he were to try and use his feet to attack, well as he was already going up it would provide little to no purpose unless he was coming down upon Daritoe, which wasn't the case. Yet there was one way he could preform such a task.
As soon as he was high enough, he would tuck his feet in quickly and act as if he was rolling over his head in the air. His right hand, pulled back and wrapped tightly into a fist, he would let the momentum carry him above his opponent and in a strong enough circle to preform his attack. His body, then reach around and flipping just as Daritoe was coming under him, as Knuckaclo's head and torso was coming downwards, so would his fist.
A powerful strike with an intense speed would come straight down and try and smash Daritoe right in the upper parts of his spine, being in between the shoulders if he even had a spine. The speed of this punch was so quick though, that if the flaming one was to listen closely, he could easily hear the wind being sliced through with a whistle like a blade. Behind this punch as well, was a focus of energy that was brought across his fingers and focused into each Knuck. This worked as to add strength to the attack in the form of an explosion but, as well, protect his hand from the intense heat.
There was one problem though, even if the attack hit and pulled its intended focus of redirecting the man with his own speed in the floor, the Orc was unprotected to the heat and compared to last time, it was unbearable without the defenses. His arm coming down to the demon would quickly take the most heat and like the rest of his body, would sting from how intense it was. It wouldn't be to bad, however... but with a lesson learned, he knew what he was going to do next::

Knuckaclo was much quicker with out his weights on.. That was more than for sure considering Daritoe had never seen him take them off... At least not that he can remember... But the Titan was also well consumed with in his own goal to keep such tedious thoughts on his mind...
As the Orc leaped Daritoe's massive stature.... He'd turn to follow, with his back now facing the ground and his chest meeting with into Knuckaclo's fist! It was a powerful blow indeed! The fist would press into the hard muscle of Daritoe's chest as though it were nothing but a soft pillow... The force of the blow would cause Daritoe's body to hit full force into the ground and continue his skid through the rock and dirt on a more personal level. Finally coming to a halt half berried beneath massive chunks of rock, dirt and grass he'd pause a moment... Even though he took such a tumble he seemed mostly un-phased...
As the rock rested on him it'd slowly begin to burn and melt to ash... Rising the colossal titan would bring himself to his feet stepping out of the intense skid mark.
Dusting himself off he'd make haste to continue his battle... With a flash of his eyes the same force would roll over his body again, pulsing out like a shock wave of destructive energy... It'd cause a massive gust of wind and the power surging through Daritoe would increase just a bit more... Knuckaclo would be able to see Daritoe's scrapes and cuts from the skid sealing over as the intensity of the Heat around his body sued the wounds shut through cauterization.
Then grasping onto that boost of power his massive form would lift into the air and burn toward Knuckaclo with a fire spreading speed! As soon as he was just a few feet away from the green beast Daritoe's form would disappear only to reappear behind the Orc with a round house kick coming at the right side of Knuckaclo's body to push him down to the ground in the same manner the Orc had just done Daritoe...
If the hit connected... Knuckaclo would feel that dark burning energy eating away at his very own energy... He'd begin to feel the effects of the total destruction Daritoe had always been ranting about... He'd feel a burn hot like the sun as well not to mention the strength behind the hit would be enough to stop a train dead in its tracks!

Knuckaclo
::A grin formed upon his lips as he saw his attack connect and make Daritoe find his body to the ground. A very soft chuckle to escape soon after as he took one quick second to judge his time before nodding to himself and preparing his next ability.
He had learned enough into the defense against the fire and demonic forces naturally that he wouldn't have to use to much magic to prevent it, however the big problem now was the amount of heat that the man was producing. With that idea in mind, he would quickly take the energy given to him by Lucifarah and spread is through his scales in very tightly woven strands of energy as if they were threads. Then, taking properties of the air around him, he would pull in the water molecules, or what little he could find, and the air around into the strands. Then slowly coursing the elements through the strands he would work to turn it into a sort of ward against heat, combinding the elements permanently into the strands to create an object that worked sort of like a super powered fan to move heat away but, didn't work as a fan in any fashion as much as it did a protective layer.
By this time, Daritoe was up once more and now, make his way into the air, crimson eyes quickly analyzing the situation and what he might do. However, his mind would jog to notice Daritoe disappear, senses flaring out to realize the titan was now behind him, and with the sense of a feel for where the most temperature was effected, his shadow and, the sound, it was to determine his type of kick.
Quickly, the Orc would dunk under the foot, yet at the same time shift his feet to where he could fall into a sliding motion. Then, as he came up from his position he would quickly lift his leg up to the side, his forming extending quickly he would have to add a bit of a hop to reach his destination but, as he came up Daritoe could notice his body was sideways in air, both feet tucked in for the time being now, as soon as the height was right, Knuckaclo would extend his right foot out with a massive thrust towards the rib cage the titan. Once more, he would push all his energy into the kick to make an extreme power once it would hit yet, this time the speed came at such a rate to make it sound like there was a swarm of bullets whistling through the air all at the same speed to create an intense whistle, almost as if he was about to break the barrier.
If this attack was to land, of course he would nope to smash the side of his opponent and as well, knock him back quite a bit. He knew the titan to be stronger then to take to much of an effect from it. However, if it missed, he had plans for escape already made as his energy lingered out into the air::

Knuckaclo:70 - Daritoe:51

Daritoe
Facing each other, it seemed Knuckaclo wouldn't hesitate and had come in for another attack... Daritoe not exactly use to his massive size yet found himself a bit slow and unstable... Lifting his arms up just a bit to to brace himself for the kick, he'd feel the Orc's foot slam into his side.... Since he was able to prepare a bit for the attack, his muscle had absorbed most of the blow... In doing so this had caused Daritoe to forcefully side step to his left...
As the Titan began to move, his motion would begin to flow with the force of Knuckaclo's blow... Clasping both hands together he'd interlock his fingers and come down with a forceful blow. It was aimed basically at Knucks entire body, though I imagine if Knuckaclo hadn't moved or done anything to avoid the attack, he'd feel the full force of Daritoe's forearms and fists collide with his back..
The goal was to hit and shoot Knuckaclo to the ground almost like he were swinging a baseball bat at a baseball. If the hit connected the same affects would take place... His purple fire would reach out to Knuckaclo's energy and begin trying to consume again, which would allow the intense heat to break through back to Knuckaclo's skin... But it'd only be for a brief moment for the force from the blow would be with just as much power as his last attack...
Hopefully it hit..

Knuckaclo
::The attack connected and it was obvious it hit with quite a bit of force. A grin to his lips once more to see how it took effect, yet he knew that this fight was to far from over. Both of them could take an extensive beating though, Daritoe at this point could probably take more.
Once of the quickest things Knuck had noticed now though, was that his size was now starting to take a toll on his own attacks, Daritoe's that is. The attacked seemed, much easier to dodge and at this point he seemed much slower then some other abilities he used. This would be a great use for advantage to this Orc as he could use all he had to pull a victory from this one. However, one could never be sure what the outcome may be.
The next attack was put into place and the movement was far to obvious from this position. A nod made to himself as he began spinning his body like a top really quickly in mid air, turning to the left to make any attack from the right side of his body stronger by rotation. Once an optimal speed was preformed and Daritoe's attack was close enough, Knuck's form would vanish in air and a very tiny puff of a black cloud be left as if it absorbed the whole Orc.
Soon his form would come out and back to the world, appearing behind Daritoe as his body stood straight up in down yet continued it's gyro motion. Then with a grin to his lips, he would extent his right foot out and preform what is commonly known as a round kick to Daritoe's right ear, or more so the right side of his face. With this attack came an speed and a pocket so intense from his rotation, that it would give off the usual whistle but, when the attack would reach it's full extension where his head was or is, whether it hit or not, it would send a current, or shock wave like blade of air to follow up.
If this were to hit well, who could tell how the man would take the attack but, the side of his face would definitely be hurting and, if the target hit right at the ear as intended, the air emmited would find its way through his ears passage and cut a loud and shattering noise through his form as the air traveled like a small blade::

Daritoe
Finally... Daritoe just got sick of getting hit... As Knuckaclo's foot came soaring across Daritoe's face, he'd find himself kicking into nothing but an after image... Was the Titan faster than he seemed? Was he just leading Knuckaclo on? No... That wasn't the case... He'd simply teleported so quickly that it left an after image of himself considering there was just so much energy just pouring from Daritoe.
Then out of no where as Daritoe reappeared, Knuckaclo would find himself a good sixty feet below the Titan with that left over energy sucking itself back up to surround the massive being, giving him that destructive aura once again...
And as soon as the energy was done gathering back around him... He'd raise his hands to the sky and make a circular shape with his massive hands.. As he did so, in the very center of the air that his hands surrounded a small spark of fire would erupt and he'd bring his arms out and down to form a transparent, purple tinted, globe of force with a bit of heat and negative energy added into it...
Then like before he'd launch himself like a rocket with a bit of the energy crackling from the globe straight at Knuckaclo.... He'd come down in a swooping motion, curving his flight at the tale end of the attack as to scoop Knuck up, burn him and consume the energy he'd been using all at once... If the attack hit they'd find themselves soaring over the Vineyards/ Orchard and if Daritoe missed due to a dodge he probably wouldn't be able to stop himself from the force of the speed his energy boost gave him which would still put him in the area he would have carried Knuckaclo to.

Knuckaclo
::A brow would raise from the Orc as he would see the figure of Daritoe disappear and his kick would move through the air, as well as the blade of wind that came after. He knew one thing for sure and that is the man had teleported.
Then, with his senses flaring out, he would feel the reformation or rather, the gathering of the massive energy source high above himself. His head tilted to watch the mans actions and that, he seemed to be making a ball of well, firey, negative energy. He wasn't sure if it was going to be used in some sort of attack or how just yet but, he did know that it probably didn't mean good news. However, as the man took the power and used it once more to launch himself at the Orc with, he would shake his head a bit. That same attack attack had been dodged the first time, though this time it was slightly different and had a bit more energy, it was still easy for Knuck as he was on the ground by time Daritoe made his decent.
The Orc would just simply make quick movements off to the far side to avoid the attack, yet, as another attack of his own was being planned, it seemed that there was a bit to much force pushed into the last attempt by the flaming man. He was off to an area and this battle was definitely not going to end that way, so it was quick for Knuck to make up his mind, and follow after the man of mint and flames::
