Tairyu High Chapter 2: Round 2
 

The man who first entered the bar stepped forth. Alexander stood at the ready. "Garud, get out of here, now." The man cracked his knuckles. "Pleased to meet you Alexander Johan. I am Akira Hiyamota of the Nobles. Recently your group has been interfering with the Nobles. We request that your club stand down." Calmly Alexander gave him the finger and used some profanity in his native tongue.

Upset would be the nicest way of saying how the Noble reacted. "Very well, I will show you a move of the Nobles. A technique you american trash could never learn." He then began to create a ki aura. Then punched the air, moments later Alex was knocked against the distant wall. "What the hell?"

The Noble smiled. "It is an attack of pure ki. It enables me to focus my ki so exactly I don't even need to physically touch you." Akira punched straight to his side and a table exploded. "of course a direct hit allows me to be more percise."
-----------------
Finally it hit her, Sakura figured out why Shou was there. "Of course, both elemental and modifiers cannot fight for too long, but golems specialize in it. Long as he is here they merely have to wait for our ki to dry up." Hou had trouble of his own at the moment with Nyx. "You should know Nyx that your illusions wont work on me."

"Ok then I wont use an illusion." After making a few hand signals to focus his ki he shoved his hand into the water. The water then took the shape of Nyx. The water doppleganger attacked. The instant its fist came near Hou, the entire thing was frozen. "Pathetic," with a flick of his arm he shattered the doppleganger. However as soon as it was gone he found a kunai knife going for his head. He created an ice shield and the attack stopped.

Nyx tried to follow up but everytime he hit nothing but ice. Hou grabbed his arm only for an instant. Nyx broke free, the cloth on his arm shattered.

Shou looked over at the two modifiers. "Fools, run away. Your no match for me." Nyx shifted his attention for a moment. "Shou you remember the agreement. All present members are to be taken out." Shou sighed knowing what he must do. "You believe that by keeping out of my reach I am at a disadvantage. I am afraid your mistaken."

He rammed his fist into the ground causing it to splinter. Reaching his large hand down he picked up a ston about the size of his fist. Then stone was then flung high into the air. In that instant he punched the ground harder then before. This time he focused the impact differently. The ground cracked open and went for the fence smashing it. At that moment the stone he flung fell back down and he punched it towards the two modifiers.

Yoshi's next target was chosen for him. A shinobi attacked right after Yoshi had electrocuted his friend. He threw several Kunai at the electric elemental, which were easily dodged. Yoshi repeated his previous attack, by running up to the shinobi with an electric fist and grabbing him. However, this time his hand went through the shinobi. For a moment, Yoshi was confused, but then he remembered that shinobi can make illusions. He remembered this too late however, and two kunai imbedded themselves in his back.

Yoshi cried out in pain, but quickly regained himself and pulled the kunai out. They didn't hit anything important, so the damage wasn't too bad. The shinobi was already upon Yoshi however, and swung downward with a kunai. It was a poorly excuted attack however, so Yoshi easily caught the shinobi's arm and electrocuted him. Or, at least he thought he did. Soon after the electrocuting, a puff of smoke changed the shinobi to a log. Yoshi couldn't stop the shinobi from stabbing him in the back again.

While the shinobi was still there, Yoshi created an aura of electricity. The electricity was drawn to the kunai, which electrocuted the shinobi. He fell down, sizzling.

Yoshi leaned against a nearby wall and hoped no one would attack him for a while.

"Jump!" Daisuke lept away from the fence as it crumbled to nothing. He tried to take in everything around him, his OCD worked that way. As the rock tumbled threw the air and Dai fell towards the earth he smiled. My goal was never to beat you, Ichi and I are distractions. If we distract Shou for long enough Sakura and Hou can defeat that Shinobi, leaving only 1 real threat. I just have to convince Shou that I believe two no nothing modifiers can defeat him. Looking to the rock Dai could see he was falling right into its path. He decided on an action and went for it, his body suddenly lurched downward, faster then before as he pushed his ki.

The rock tore through what was left of the fence above Dai as the ground cracked beneath him. Dammit, I used to much ki, to weigh down my body. My knees feel like hell. Summoning up a smile as he released the ki, Dai turned towards Shou effortlessly. "A rock, how very, primitive. I'd expect nothing less from the glorified leader of the golems." Dai took back up his arrogant posistion with his jacket over his shoulder. "How bout I go now." Daisuke hurled his right fist forward his arm stretching much quicker then the average eye could see, it stopped just short of Shou's face, and his fist loosened releasing his jacket from his grip and drapping it over the Golems face.

Hurling his first arm back as he punched forcefully with his second he impacted the golems stomach as with a heave of his weight forward, he hoped it would be enough to at least surprise the golem as he began to pull the arm quickly back. He had to keep up a quick pace to keep the golem off gaurd. He just wondered where Ichi was.

*******

Ichi had fallen from the fence in a much less controlled fashion, as he fell towards the ground below a chunk of rock intended for him struck him in the shoulder knocking him downward. He hit the ground with a forceful snap. "AUGHGGHHHHH!" He sucked in air threw clenched teeth as he gripped his shoulder. It was clearly dislocated. He groaned as he started to pull it, the pain proved to be to much as he loosened his grip, he felt a little blood starting to form under his shirt where the rock had struck him. "God Dammit......" Tears started to well up in Ichi's eye as he began pulling once more.

The golem grabbed Dai's arm twisting it as he casually removed the jacket. "Sorry, that punch was far too weak to harm me." His attention switched to Ichi. "You have to put the bone back inplace soon. Or it will never heal completely." Suddenly Shou found a foot in his face. "Stay away from my members." His attention was distracted and Dai got his arm back.

Although he was hurt he saw his opertunity. He grabbed her arm and leg and bent her over his head. She began to wince in pain. "Just give up, do as they order your and this will end." Suddenly a smile was on her face. "Gottcha," she turned into her child for and slipped from his grasp. Grabbing his finger she enlarged and using his own body as leverage she flug him into the water.

"Damn that hurt my wrist and he wasn't even trying." Dai rubbed his wrist as he watched Sakura hurl the behemoth into the water. Now is our chance. Dai hurled his right arm towards Nyx's chest as he called out to Hou. "HOU FREEZE THE HOTSPRING!" Dai hoped that the leader of the Elementals would be willing to take an order from a freshmen, he also hoped that the ice could hold Shou, if even for a moment.... Hell Dai just hoped he didn't end up with a kunai in his arm.

Ichi pulled with his muscles and pushed his ki. His arm snapped into place, he groaned, before taking a few panic breathes, he could feel himself going into shock. He pushed his ki more forcefully, surpressing the chemicals then were trying to make him lose consciousness. He stood up boldly as his right arm still appeared to be dead on the vine, he stared at Nyx, Ichi felt he was ready to help stop any counter attack that the shinobi launched. He just hoped how he felt and what he could do were one an the same.

Garud moved out of the way but kept his vision on the fight. He moved behind the bar and tried to stay out of sight. Alexander had better be careful, because this guy looked tough. Garud silently charged up his Ki, hoping to find a way to help somehow. He concentrated real hard, and tried to remember one of his abilities.

"What just happened?"

Dan was next to the newcomer, but Garud didn't know where he had come from.

"Alex has been hit by one of the nobles, and by the looks of him, he's the leader."

"I've heard stories about that guy. I heard he doesent have to make contact of any sort to hurt someone."

"After what I have seen just now, I would believe you. Hey, whats the Ki ability I learned the other day? And can I use it on other people?"

"Rampart, and I'm not sure about the other people. But I suggest that you stay hidden. I'm going to do something to help our leader."

Dan got up, and readied his arms. Circling around the back, he hoped that he was not being sensed. Running to the back of Akira, he had his arms in position for a headlock...

((Krylo, I'm assuming you are trying a sweep that is going on the left side of Jessi's body with your right side.))
Jessi adjusted his weight downward. His wrist twisted to the opposite direction, so Jessi could focus only on his feet going down onto Kagai. His feet came down in a grand arc in front of him. Gotcha, he thought to himself as he strengthened his bone and tush muscles a bit for impact.

There was nothing Kagai could do to actually avoid the blow, and that was rampantly obvious. Jessi was right in thinking that he had him. The best the boy could do was raise his arm and start jumping up out of his crouch, so as to avoid taking the kick across his face as it twisted in from the sweep kick and to put some air between himself and any hard objects so he didn't get crushed by the force.

The result was that Kagai was knocked onto his back, propped up against the wall of the hallway. He didn't have time to stand before Jessi would be able to attack again if he so wished, but he did have time to reach into his shirt, grabbing for something.

(ooc: basically he sprang up a little while still twisting from the sweep [because him stopping or reversing the motion of his whole body in a fraction of a second to avoid being kicked would be nigh-impossible] so that he'd have give room instead of just being "WHAM INTO FLOOR!")

Jessi felt partial connection. He had slipped through but he'd gotten him somewhat. "Damn dodgers..."

He rolled to his feet after his hard sit down, orienting on Kagai's location and prepared a lunging kick to Kagai's head, yet again, as he was propped against the wall. He didn't notice Kagai go into his shirt.

Kagai rolled to the side and forward, coming away from the wall and rising to his feet behind Jessi, even as the other fighter's foot smashed the wall where Kagai's head had been seconds ago into pieces, while pulling a pair of black leather gloves from his shirt.

He slid them on, flexing his fingers into them and then made a fist with each hand. "I guess I can't go easy on you..."

(OOC: Gloves are like the pair I own: 8 oz of powdered lead along the knuckles of each hand, adding both the solid feeling of a block of metal hitting you when it hardens on impact and the weight. Plus, it acts as nice padding for the knuckles so they don't get hurt, and you can punch harder than normal. Basically they're brass knuckles except better.

I also figure that Kagai can't do all that AND attack while Jessi has his back turned, so... you get another free shot.)
