There was no talking their way out of this one, Nilus had given the Thief/Genie far too many chances. He was done trying to do this the right way.. And frankly the Genie was starting to push his buttons anyway. 

With Nilus' spear in his hand, he makes the first move. A quick step forward as he thrusts his spear towards Nafi's hands, trying to disarm the Genie. He doesn't want to kill her or anything! Just enough to get her to stand down. 

```Basic Attack - 58dmg```

After his spear thrust forward, Nilus pulls back into a defensive position. He doesn't know what a genie is capable of! But he's been training for days against something like this. All those barrels he used as target practice, it was being put to the test here. 

"Come on Genie! Strike me!"
Jayson
Nafi watched the spear come towards her as she dodged to side doing a quick cartwheel. However she was too late as the spear grazed her leg. Oh she was not pleased about that. Her legs are her best assets! 
**Cart wheel used. 58-26 = 32. AP: 100->90**
**HP 335->303** 

"Hey I'm a fair maiden! How dare you attack me!" She growled out towards him as she rushed him. She pointed her knives at him as she became cloaked in fire.

**Fire dash-15**
**AP 90->80**

She then twirled as she threw two sets of knives at him.
**Basic Attacks 11**
**Basic Attack 11**
Yvonne
Nilus's spear grazed the genie's leg, not where he was aiming at all and almost a really bad injury! He didn't want to maim her, he just wanted to get a some recognition as a hero. 

He watched as the Genie elegantly cartwheeled away from his attack and immediately rushed in with a few attacks of her own. Her genie magic, cloaking herself in fire was impressive, but Nilus was not fazed in the slightest, he had gotten himself into a defensive position for a reason! 

"Your movement is impressive Genie... But it's far too obvious!" 

He'd block Nafi's fire dash with his defense and as she rushed in for her extra attacks, Nilus would **Counter Rush** And parry her attack. Unleashing multiple small spear thrusts while he caught Nafi off guard! 

```Raw defense vs Fire Dash - 15-35 = complete mitigation
Counter Rush (Parry!) - 95-11= 84dmg returned.```

Nafi's final hit would land against Nilus as he hadn't anticipated so many attacks! She was fast, able to strike more times than he could but Nilus had strength on his side. 
```HP - 1270-11=1259
MP = 0 
AP = 170-20=150```
Jayson
Nafi got flung back into a nearby wall from the parry as she landed in the ground with a soft thud. 'Well Nafi this was a good run in life' 
**HP 303->219**
For a brief while she laid there contemplating life before getting back up with renewed energy. "Ha! If you think I would go down so easily by some brute then think again!" 

Like a fly against a window she continued to attack him to almost no avail before remembering she still has a trick up her sleeve. "Transsssforrrrmmm" All that happened is she entered phase 2 no actual transformation. 
**Hp 219>262**
**AP 80>100** 
She began to laugh as if she had the upper hand before crouching down into an attacking position. Time seemed to stand still before a quick flash and metaphorical crack happened. She was now behind Nilus with a taunting smile.

**Zantesuken>56**
**Ap 100>65**

Afterwards Nafi then began to twirl as if dancing as wind began to pick up forming a small tornado with her in the center. 
**Tornado 41**
**Ap-45** 

Once she felt that the tornado grew to a decent size the 'genie' used the sand that got thrown into the air to her advantage as she passed through Nilus striking him once again.
**Sandstorm-41**
**Ap-25**

Nafi's victory was short lived as the spear did a considerable number on her as her energy seemed to have left her. 
**Hp->96** 

She somehow still had some fight in her as she watched the ground begin to get away from her not realizing that the spear caught onto her clothing. She began to cackle as if she still had the high ground. "Hohohoh my it seems my powers gained a mind of their own helping me! Maybe if you groveled and begged for forgiveness I'll be merciful"

How is someone such as herself not realizing that she wasn't flying in the air but was stuck. She continued to laugh.
Yvonne
With the Genie's clothes caught on the end of Nilus' spear, Nilus knew he had the upper hand (literally). He continued with his attack whilst in the air, instead however the air was used to guide himself downwards. Speed once again picking up, Nilus used **Dragoon Jump** To crash into the ground along with Nafi at the end of his spear! 

```Dragoon Jump - 93dmg```

Once he landed, Nilus would pull back to assess the damage against his target. 

"Cease now Thief! Let us end this, neither of us need to lose our lives." 

```HP = 1121
MP = 0
AP = 123-18=105```
Jayson
Still going with her laughing she felt the sudden plummet to the ground as a Nafi sized crater remained. Still not wanting to give up she pulled herself out of her hole as she pulled more knives out lunging for an attack.
**HP-3**
**Basic Attack 16**
She then began to chant as light appeared around her taking form of small pearls and began to rain down upon Nilus. "I'm not finished just yet!"

**Pearl 31**
**Mp 120->105**

She then once again threw her knives at him like before. Just where does she keep all these knives at?! 

**Basic Attack 16**
Yvonne
It was no good, despite Nilus' pleas to end the madness and stop this fighting, the genie just maniacally kept laughing. She was out of her mind! Had the power of the Genie gone to her head? She was acting carelessly. 

Nilus was surprised when the thief began to use more of her Genie magic. It was quite fair to say that Nilus was not exactly "Magically inclined" And when the Pearls came rushing towards him, Nilus stood like a deer in headlights. He didn't even notice the other knives being thrown at him until it was too late, he was being attacked on all sides! 

```HP = 1121-16-31-16=1058```

It was time to end this. Nilus had given the magical genie more than enough chances to stop! 

He rushed forward with his spear, using the back end to attack rather than the sharp pointy end. 

```Basic Attack - 58dmg (Non Lethal)```
Jayson
Nafi continued to laugh after her barrage of attacks before the end of spear finally connected with her hitting her more like a bonk than anything else. Her laugh stopped immediately as she fell forward on the ground. It seems she has fainted meaning what ever Nilus had planned for the poor unfortunate soul that is Nafi can commence.
Yvonne
Well, at least she stopped laughing. No more maniacal genie, now she was just a fainted genie, lying face down in the sand. 

Nilus moved towards Nafi who laid on the ground and quickly checked she was okay.. Just had to double check he hadn't accidentally went too far!

She seemed to be out cold, so Nilus fetched inside his bag and brought out some egg salad sandwich he had gotten earlier for his lunch. The Thief/Genie mentioned she stole in order to eat and survive so he knew she must be hungry.. And he hoped that a bite to eat would give them a chance to properly talk too. 

Now he would sit and wait by the wall of the alley wall, spear neatly tucked away as Nilus waited for the genie to wake up once more.
Jayson
After a short while Nafi seemed to have finally regained consciousness as she sat up rubbing her head. 

"Ow that big brute could've gone easy on me!" She then began to quickly scan her area looking for her knives spotting them shining near her. Snatching them up she stashed them away. 

Suddenly a dioicous aroma filled the air around her and it was like she died and gone to food heaven. "What is that delicious smell" She turned her head towards Nilus completely ignoring the battle with him and crawling over quickly in an attempt to snag the sandwich away.
Yvonne
"I WAS going easy on you.. I think we need to have a talk Genie.." 

Nilus noted that he was correct in his assumption that the thief was indeed hungry, good! He could use this as leverage or something as he tries to "Do the right thing" And be a Hero for once! 

"Delicious smell?... It's egg. You may have the sandwich if you wish, IF you stop running away and we have a quick chat." 

The metaphorical ball was in his court now, and Nilus was going to attempt to do some good with it. Finally... Some real Hero work! He wished someone was around to witness it though... Maybe tell a few Gods back home how cool he looked in that fight.. Is that too much to ask for?
Jayson
Nafi sighed as she snatched the sandwich and began to chow down on it like she hasn't eaten in a good while. And before you know it the sandwich was gone like it never existed. 

She moved away from him holding onto her knives as a precaution. "Fine you won. What do you want!" She sighed heavily again feeling like this was going to cut into her chance of exploring some ruins for anything valuable. 

"I'm a busy woman and you already taken enough of my time!" She exclaimed as she pointed at him with her free hand even though she was the one to start the fight with her trickery.
Yvonne
Good, she took the sandwich! That was a good sign, Nilus had a weird feeling that she was going to start running again, not that he would've minded anyway, that fight was quite fun! It felt good to get some actual combat training in, and it confirmed that all his previous training was actually helping. He had never felt stronger before. 

"Cease now Thief" Nilus said with an exasperated tone, pointing at Nafi's knives collection. "Can't we just talk? I actually have a proposition for you... As long as you keep those knives away" 

It was true.. Whilst Nafi had been unconscious, an idea sprung to Nilus' mind and he was interested in hearing the Thief's take on it.
Jayson
"Ugh fine!!" Was this a grown woman or a child speaking because her entire demeanor has changed while speaking now. 

"They're put away!" She said putting the knives to the side before crossing her arms while looking at Nilus. "And I'm no thief! I was going to put money on the stall.. Eventually..." She's lying of course cause she has not once paid anyone back for her quick meals she's taken. 

She then heard him make mention of a proposition which was speaking more of Nafi's language. "Okay so what you need me to distract the guards or make a scene so you can do whatever you need. All I require is a cut of whatever it is you happen to steal" Once again her demeanor changed.
Yvonne
Nilus did not believe Nafi's words whatsoever.. Just like he was starting to doubt she was actually a genie. He was pretty sure she admitted it was stealing earlier too! None of that mattered however as he had more important matters to discuss! With the knives and the spear put away, it was time to discuss things like adults. If that was possible for Nafi anyway. 

"Sort of, you catch on quic-.. Steal? I happen to steal?!" Nilus was appalled. Did he come across like some common thief?!!! He was a Hero of Olympus! (aspiring).. Not some thief that steals apples from marketplaces.. "No! I'm not stealing anything." 

Now, Nilus was the one who crossed his arms in anger. 

"Whatever... I believe... We can take you back to the marketplace, return whatever you stole and then once I receive the recognition.. Praise as well as some sort of reward.. We could split the reward? Who knows how many times we could repeat this theatre act... Thoughts?"
Jayson
While what he was offering was not a bad idea and could be done. It wouldn't take long for the duo to get caught with their act if it happened. "You basically just want to feed your hero ego by having me play a villain and you catch me is that what I'm hearing?"

Now she was the one who was appalled by the gall he had on him. She admired it not many would take a shallow way to gain fame as she began to nod her head thinking. "Before I even agree I have my own conditions."
Yvonne
"There's much more to it than feeding my ego.. But yes that sounds about right. What are your conditions?" 

Hopefully she would agree to this proposal, it was tiring work for Nilus to repeatedly have to search for different hero work to do.. Cats don't get stuck in trees every day you know!
Jayson
"You're not from here are you?" Obviously he wasn't he kept talking about being a hero and around these parts talk like that means your a kid or you lost it plus there's his outfit.

"If you're not from here that works perfectly for me. I need someone to help me look through some ruins as I heard talk about there being other worlds. We had an incident happen travelers from far off came to help but from what I know they weren't from here at all." She then stopped talking before revealing her plan any further but the figured what the harm would be she would just have to do this once or twice and then she could vanish. 

"If that's true I want away from Agrabah and I want to explore as there will be fresh pickings for me and my performance could earn me more to live off of"

"Since you're obvioulsy strong I want you to act as a guard for me." She pulled her knives out as she began to play with them before looking back at the man. "Of course if you don't want to help me I won't help you"
Yvonne
Nilus wasn't quite sure what gave it away, was it his clothes? Was it the way he spoke? Something must've made it obvious that he wasn't from this world, that was most definitely true. He decided he may as well come clean and be honest about it, it seemed like the thief knew more than he first assumed anyway. 

"I can search ruins.. How difficult would it be?" 

Nilus pretended like he was apprehensive in the hopes of Nafi potentially sweetening the deal and offering some treasure... But truthfully, he had already decided he would help the moment she took those knives out and threatened to not help Nilus with his plan!
Jayson
Nafi clapped her hands together as she stood up seemingly full of energy she managed to almost get out of a sticky situation and managed to rope a sucker into her plans. Today just keeps on getting better for her. Despite getting her ass kicked royally.

"Perfect gather your things we leave now! The sooner the better for I heard there's lots of treasure to be found!" She was trying to get her plans going first as a way to not have to face any angry merchants whom she stole plenty from.
