Ryugi was a very passive fighter. A turtle in style. He never went on the offensive. Dante would be seriously mistaken. A true fighter could fill numerous roles in a battle depending on the situation. For example, Dante had run away from Athan in his fight with him. Did that mean that Dante was incapable of fighting up close with him when he claimed to be a close range fighter? A fighter's style changed to fit the situation that was placed on them in the fight. Dante was currently being the aggressor, but that could easily change like the flicker of a flame...
But Ryugi was getting bored of Dante simply running in, getting avoided, running in again, etc. It made for a lousy match. It was like someone hit the rewind button to watch something again and again. So, Ryugi would try something different this time. Something very different. A coiled snake seems small and defensive until it strikes with venom... Just like a flicker of fire in a soft breeze, Ryugi's mode of combat changed completely, and Dante would be the first one to feel the effects of said change as he charged in, ready to strike with about 5 feet to spare.
Quote: Limiter Release -
Ryugi's uses a small burst of energy released all around him in a sphere to halt incoming targets, attacks, or to disorient them to allow for a strike from Ryugi.
Dante's charge would be immediately halted by the expanding wall of heat and force, and then he'd be cast backwards. The blast had a range of nearly fifteen feet in every direction, which meant Dante was in the PERFECT place to be hit by the sudden attack. The spectators would ooh and ahh as the energy was released and it hit the robotic arms on the assembly line behind him. The heat would be capable of charring clothing and leaving slight burns on a target's skin. It would feel as if he'd run directly into a superheated, moving, brick wall that would knock him back about five feet. But Ryugi wasn't through with the little doggie yet. Ragnarok snapped into motion even before the blast was released. To Dante, it would appear like Ryugi was trying to make a defensive swing of his sword, but then the blast would be released, halting Dante's charge and sending him back, the blade now facing Dante's position.
Quote: While these are the most commonly used attacks by Ryugi, he may use his fire or light energy to create improvised attacks with his abilities for different situations. Improvised moves can rate in strength from a simple flash of heat or light, to a powerful, driving explosive punch on equal standing with his Supernova Attack in energy consumption. The manifestation of these attacks will vary in execution, and all will have an equivalent stamina drain to accompany them.
Ryugi's eyes glared as energy suddenly surged down the length of Ragnarok, causing the white tails of Ryugi's coat to blow backwards from the force of the energy as it shot towards Dante's form, which would be dealing with the effects of the Limiter Release. The blast would sound off like a gunshot, or a canon being fired, the energy tapering like a muzzle flash. The heat from the blast would be searing, capable of heavily burning an opponent's skin to the high second or low third degrees. That heat, coupled with the force of the blast's release would do heavy trauma to Dante's body wherever it hit.
If Dante somehow managed to move, all Ryugi would have to do was adjust his aim and fire away, hitting the doggie anyway. The combo of attacks was virtually unavoidable. If Dante was hit by one, he'd certainly get hit by the other. There was only about half a second between the Limiter Release and the energy blast from Ragnarok. If Dante was immune to fire damage for whatever reason, the explosive FORCE from the attacks would still have a profound effect on his body. Dante's momentum at the close range would already be enough to really prevent any significant change in his body's movement, practically sealing his fate. The stamina drain from the Limiter Release was negligible, but the larger blast would put a nice dent in Ryugi's stamina buffer. He'd be waiting to see how the doggie dealt with his change of tactics...
And he'd be ready to change his style once again if it came down to it once more.
Just like the flicker of a flame.

"well, isn't this entertaining..." 
Rae rolled her eyes and snapped her fingers to summon the little white ball of energy that was her wisp.
Rae put a little roll into the word like so that it sounded more like the ball of light was in love with him. 
"GO RYUGI!!!!!" 
. Without the coat it was easy to spot the dagger strapped to her left forearm, the hilt just above her wrist to make all of those flips she had been doing earlier easier. The hilt of a second dagger was just visible under the edge of the tummy baring shirt, at the small of her back and her sword was slung across her back for a left shoulder draw.
her dagger sailing past him to clatter down on the belt further back.
