***********
Catcher felt himself go flying as the wind was knocked from him, felt himself go rocketing back and slightly up as the Repulsion ballooned in an invisible dome from around Boone. He had just enough sense to focus all his being on holding onto Arthus’ sword, fortunately, grabbing the weapon’s handle stubbornly even as his armored calves caught the lip of the closesest of the rusty conveyer belts. His backwards momentum suddenly turned into a whipping spin, and if he’d had the breath too Catcher knew he probably would have yelped—or squealed more like, if he was being honest with himself—as he found him turning end over end.
Fortunately, his momentary experience as a human top was brief.
Unfortunately, it was only brief because a second conveyer belt cut his flight short as his left shoulder crashed into it at what felt like Mach 2.
As he crumpled to the ground, Catcher knew the limb was “broken” even before his NOED informed him as much as red text in the combat log he kept in the top left of his frame. He gasped—half as his lungs demanded air and half out of the pain that washed up his arm—but the blessing of the loss was that he hadn’t hit is head. His neuorline was still fully function, his focus and vision clearing in record time.
It was the only reason he managed to register Boone leaping over the first belt and charging Catcher, the flat of the Phalanx’s damaged shield angled to crush him against the metal props of the second conveyer at his back.
Oh this is gonna suck SO much, was all Catcher managed to think as he shoved himself up with his good hand—still balled in a tight grip around Artus’ handle—and threw himself out of the way just in time.
The was a massive crunch metal as Boone hit the rusted belt, but Catcher barely heard it. He was too busy gritting his teeth as he rolled and twisted, the move sending a wave of pain from his shattered shoulder that nearly brought him right back down to his knees again. Just the same, he came up with his sword before him, left arm dangling limply but ultimately still in the fight.
At least for now.

in the exhibition matches, Claire de Soto was able to "weather" Dent's repulsion...Rei guessed she had at least S5 defense to be able to do it

What an amazing surprise to wake up to this morning! Thank you so much! I enjoyed this very much and I am looking forward to the conclusion of the fight.
Martin Kalum
I am curious to how SCT professionel handle an ability like repulsion, it seem like a fight ender most times. And can you counter repulsion with repulsion?
Abida B
Cannot wait to see what ability he gets from this fight as well!!
Zac
Come on, Catcher! Get him!
Orthes
Agreed. Its easy to forget that he is an incredibly capable fighter himself, given the monsters he surrounds himself with. But he is still in the top ranks of the top school in the sector.
Please don't toy with my emotions! I'm fragile.
Abida B
I love the attention on Catcher! He’s got to be my favorite and I’m glad he’s getting the spotlight for a bit so we can see him evolve as a fighter and not just the good natured funny guy of the group!!
