June 24, 23CLE A small grove north of Demacia Late Morning
Alex was lying on a fallen tree stump next to a little natural fountain. The trickle of water, combined with the wind bustling through the trees and the chirp of birds, gave him serenity which he longed for during his time in the city.
Drip, drop, the water tickled the ground until they convened with another route and started a small trail that sped up, gradually increasing in sound. Alex relaxed himself, his metallic hand lay on a rock near while his human hand cushioned his head. He closed his eyes and listened carefully to his surroundings. Hearing the animals, the wind through the trees. The quiet, the serenity and most of all, the calm. It made him think differently and more clearly.
In the heat of battle, before assassinations, when in a brawl... He felt so bloodthirsty and cruel. And now, he felt complete, serene, good.

Sendrel slowly crept through the forest, watching the impact point of every step he took, carefully muting the sounds he made along the way. He had tracked Alex out into the woods, and now he was prepared to fight.
From about 10 feet, in the shadows, he examined his prey as best he could. His eyes squinted, and the light from within them seemed to dart around within the sockets. There seemed to be no weapons on Alex's person... but that was all the more reason for caution. Sendrel's mind worked out the best combat initiation process.
Slowly, he raised his staff. It vibrated intensely at different frequencies at each end before letting loose his distorted melody. He bounced it off of a nearby rock to ensure the best angle, then waited for the reaction.
((And you thought I couldn't get a good combat music that involved a technological aspect... Hah. Use this www.youtube.com/watch?v=41ngnsC8w4E)) Alex fell down to the opposite side of Sendrel behind the trunk. As soon as Sendrel will be at him, he would use his metallic hand to push himself up and quickly behind the trunk, hopefully surprising Sendrel and then to quickly stand up before him.
"Now..." He said in his voice, a metallic booming sound the spread around. His very body was augmented in almost every inch, and it all responded to the new threat. "...Don't you know that disrupting one's peace is rude?" Alex asked sarcastically. His side cape averted to reveal a grappling hook, but nothing more. Alex always had all his gear on him, as his augments allowed him to carry more than others without much efforts.

"Peace is but an illusion, 'Dreadknife'. You, a ruthless killer, should know this more than anyone."
Sendrel was slightly shocked by the amount of augmentation that Alex had undergone. It almost reminded Sendrel of himself... but he knew that there had to be some kind of hidden weaponry in it all. He was sure of it.
He grinned slightly before adding "Running from your past isn't going to save you, you know. Someone put a contract on your life, and I'm here to fulfill it."

"Illusion or not... A ruthless killer I am, as much as I'd hate to admit it." Alex sarcastic smile disappeared when Sendrel mentioned a contract. Again, his more violent past caught up with him.
"I don't suppose you know why I am called 'Dreadknife' right? And who was it hmm? The one who asked for my life? One such as yourself, one that fights us ruthless killers, must have even the least of honor to tell me of the one who asked for my demise before finishing me off." Alex said. The hearty sarcasm in his metallic voice gradually reducing to seriousness, but the sarcasm was never gone.

Sendrel's grin never faded as he quietly uttered the words: "It was Viktor. Viktor sent me to eliminate you and retrieve your parts. He has a project superior to your design, but he requires some of you. Your eyes and arm." Inwardly, he chuckled to himself.
Sendrel slowly lowered his smile and changed into a more combat-ready position, leaning forward slightly and bringing his staff behind him. "He knew you'd never come willingly, so here I am, doing the job for him. Funny how life throws these things at you, huh?"

Alex was shocked for but a milisecond. The name "Viktor" echoed in his mind. Something wasn't quite right here... His mentor, the Glorious Evolution... It was everything for him. He swore an oath, he trusted his life in Viktor too many times. Each and every augment he had was implanted by him.
Alex felt betrayed.
"I... I can't..." Alex looked down and clenched his fist. He looked at Sendrel and both his blades unsheathed with a move from his hand. The blades were about the length of a gladius, each of them. "...I will end you. And Viktor too. No one betrays 'Dreadknife'." Alex felt desperate. It would be clear that he was very dangerous now. One would expect him to be careless, but his many years of training taught him that being careless means death. He will have his revenge, but recklessness won't help him.
Sendrel was offput by Alex's controlled anger. Most people were completely enraged by the old "mentor betrayal" trick. But to Sendrel, the mind was nothing more than a block of stone. If you can't blow it up all at once, then you chip away at it piece by piece.
With Alex's blades revealed, Sendrel could better understand his opponent. He examined them for a moment before locking eyes with Alex.
"Well, I suppose we've had enough talk. HAVE AT YOU!
Keeping his head low, he sprinted forward and brought his staff around his body, aiming for his foe's legs.

Using his extensively augmented feet, Alex jumped over Sendrel's staff and took a grab of a branch, landing behind where Sendrel is with a thud and aimed his hidden pistol at his Staff hand's joint which was ((according to the photo)) exposed.
Sendrel tracked Alex as the cyborg flew over his head and landed behind him. The pistol was a standard concealed weapon, something entirely expected. He dove right and simultaneously launched a powerful sonic blast straight at Alex.
