Again... (Open)

[Jay]

((I need some fights. HIT ME.))

Back again....

For some inexplicable reason, Jay had been gone for a while. He didn't know why, I, the narrator don't know why, and God probably didn't either. In fact, due to Jay's Owner's laziness and hiatus, Jay's life was essentially a big "WTF" right now. Where was he supposed to be? What was he supposed to be doing?! WHO WAS HE?!

Don't know. Oh yeah, Jay has amnesia. Makes things a bit mor exciting. But now! Let us have Jay do the thing he was born to do; Fight. And so, as Jay walked down the hall sporting brand new Air Force 1's, a motherfucker stepped on them, and if you knew what that meant, you'd run.

"Ah, sorry bro."

"Yeah, me too."

"For what?" The kid had barely finished his sentence before Jay drove his left fist into the boy's cheek, sending him to the side.

"That."

"AH NOOO MY FACE YOU MARRED IT."

"My shoes are crying the same thing right now," he replied softly, and stepped on the man's crotch.

OK SOMEONE SAVE THE LIL BITCH

[Ryuu]

Ryuu stood off to one side, leaning against his locker, his arms folded across his chest, as he talked with Taku. He opened his mouth and was about to speak when he heard the sound of commotion, and turned his head in the direction of it, to his right, as he saw a guy drive his left fist into the other guy's face, sending the guy to the side. Already there was an uproar, what else was new these days? One right after another. It's never peaceful around here. Ryuu turned back to Taku, and was about to speak once more, but stopped as he heard a cry of pain, making his head whip back in the direction of the uproar. "... Did you see that? That guy stepped on the other guy's crotch. Talk about brutal..." Ryuu heard someone whisper to his friend nearby. Ryuu, by this time, could no longer stand by and watch idly, as the other guy pummeled his opponent into submission.

Pushing off from his locker, Ryuu made his way over, despite Taku trying to pull him back and stop him, as he pushed through the crowd, before emerging into the inner circle."... That's one of the freshman. Why are you beating him up?" Ryuu asked in a soft but clear voice, his voice carrying clear through the hall. Ryuu's eyes travelled down to the guy's shoes, and saw a scuff mark on the shoes, and they looked brand new too. Now Ryuu was no shoe lover, but even he took good care of his black Converse shoes, even though they were worn down and comfortable. "He's already taken enough, I think that's enough." Ryuu continued, as he clapped his hands together, just to prepare his Qi, in case he needed to use it. He then stepped forward, and placed a hand on Jay's shoulder, not a shred of emotion on his face. He was prepared to fight, if it came to it, as evident by his right hand curling into a fist, preparing himself for any attack that would possibly come his way.

[Jay]

NO EMOTION ON HIS FACE. THIS NIGGA WAS HARD.

"... That's one of the freshman. Why are you beating him up?"

"He stepped on my shoe," Jay replied, without turning around. After the crotch stomp, he hadn't done anything, except look idly down at the boy, who was currently moaning in pain. Jay figured that was all he needed to do today - show a motherfucker not to step on someone's fresh kicks. But! Someone else wanted to learn some etiquette - the shit came in the form of some other Asian kid who had "no emotion" on his face.

"He's already taken enough, I think that's enough."

"Well, if you used your eyes, maybe you'd see that I'm just standing here," Jay said, stifling a laugh. Shit, was he blind? Maybe it was the Curse of the Asians again. And Jay took a sideways glance at the boy's side. A fist, huh? With a smirk, Jay sighed and shook his head. Without warning, Jay suddenly jumped backwards, into the boy, hopefully sending the two of them into the locker - Ryuu acting as the cushion of course. But well, Jay thought this kid needed manners as well. That was why he was going to start another lesson.

Don't ever touch a nigga without his word!

[Ryuu]

Ryuu ignored the guy's remark, because it would take more than that to get Ryuu riled up... much much more. Yes, Ryuu noticed that the guy had just stood there idly after stepping on the other guy's jewels, who was currently moaning on the ground in pain. He guessed that one move was all he planned to do to get back at the guy for stepping and scuffing up his brand new shoes. He saw the guy take a sideways glance, seeing Ryuu's curled up fist, before sighing and shaking his head. Things were about to be stepped up a notch. Without any warning whatsoever, the guy jumped backwards, into Ryuu, who shifted his body slightly, although he wasn't completely being a cushion now, he still cushioned Jay slightly, as he was sent into the locker, though all it really did was just give Ryuu a massive headache.

"... That hurt." Was all Ryuu said, as he made a flame appear on the tip of his right index finger, and considering he was still holding onto Jay, and Jay had used him as a human cushion, well, you get the point. Holding his index finger close, just letting the tip of the flame touch Jay's back, Ryuu would proceed to light Jay's back on fire, before making the flame disappear from his index finger. He then ducked out from behind Jay, strafing to the side, as he brought his hands out in front of him, his legs spread out slightly. So much for the subtle approach...

[Jay]

"...That hurt."

Oh shit!

Jay's eyes widened, and he hopped off to the side as he realized he was suddenly very warm. The familiar smell of smoke reached his nose, and he realized the douchebag had actually set him on fire! Holy shit! Except, Jay simply did the smart thing, and ripped his shirt off like a fucking sexy wolf. YEAH BITCHES HOLLA AT A BROTHER. RIP! his shirt said as Jay tore it off. Damnit, I liked that shirt too. "That was one of my favorite shirts...," Jay said with a sigh, looking at the smoldering heap that was his shirt.

With a smirk, Jay stretched, his black wife beater covering what could be a lethal weapon against women everywhere. "You gonna pay for it?" As he spoke, he slipped his own power into his fists; though Ryuu would have no clue, 'cause his shit was down low, you know what I mean? I'm talking stealth, motherfucker. And if the little shit did anticipate a lightning-backed fist coming his way, he was a...

METAGAMER!

[/center][/color]

"Damage was twenty bucks...."[/size]

[Ryuu]

At least Ryuu got a bit of amusement out of seeing Jay hop to the side upon realizing his shirt was on fire. At least he did the smart thing, and tear his shirt off, because if he didn't, Ryuu would've questioned how smart he was. "Oh, my sincerest apologies." Ryuu said in a sarcastic voice, it was terribly obvious he was not sorry about lighting Jay's shirt on fire, after all, the douchebag had slammed Ryuu into a locker, giving him just a big ol' massive headache. Jay's shirt now reduced to a smoldering heap, Ryuu saw Jay stretch, as Ryuu resisted the urge to roll his eyes. Little shit thought he was all that huh? I don't think so. Ryuu let his mind focus, as he prepared himself for a fight. As if Jay was going to let him off that easy, especially when Ryuu had basically burned Jay's shirt to a crisp. "Heh. Not. In. This. Lifetime." Ryuu replied, enunciating each word.

Jay started this, and he expected Ryuu to pay for his shirt? "I don't think so." But the minute Ryuu saw Jay's fist come flying at him, Ryuu reacted immediately, and brought his hand up, just barely catching Jay's fist in his hand, as he engulfed his hands in flames. What he wasn't expecting however, was to feel a shock of electricity run through his arm. What the hell!? Bastard could use electricity, exactly like Gabriel. But while Ryuu was being shocked by the attack, Jay wouldn't be getting off so easily either. Ryuu's flame engulfed hand would end up burning his fist. And Ryuu wasn't planning on letting go anytime soon, despite the jolt of electricity running through his arm. Ryuu then reared his free arm back, and aim a underhand hook, right at Jay's stomach. And even if Jay caught or blocked the attack, either way, he was going to get burned... literally.

(OOC: CON: 49)

[Jay]

See here's the thing with electricity.

If it finds a medium to pass through, the current would run as far as the body would allow. I'd imagine human tissue wouldn't have much resistance. And do you know how fast the electrons move when it's in a current? So what would happen if the electricity were to reach the heart? See, electricity wouldn't just stay in his arm like it was powering a lamp. It'd just disperse through his body. So, the bitch better let go before he died. I mean, after all, touching an outlet could kill someone.

Now, let's explain why Jay shouldn't be overly concerned with the fire. Fire doesn't spread, so it was confined to Jay's fist. So while Jay's fist would feel very hot, and possibly begin the process of being cooked, he wasn't in any immediate danger like Ryuu was. But still, Jay didn't want his hand to be cooked, and he didn't want his stomach to be either, so as soon as Ryuu sent his fist out, Jay suddenly sidestepped and spun-moved to his right (since Jay's free fist was the free one), ending up directly behind Ryuu. In the process, due to his superior strength and speed, his fist would have been ripped out of Ryuu's grip. But now that Jay was looking at the man's back, why not? With a smirk, Jay shot his right arm out, taking hold of Ryuu's neck.

"Good night."

BZZZZZ PIKACHUUUUU[/color]

[Ryuu]

The minute Ryuu's fist came flying out, he saw Jay sidestep and spin to his right, Ryuu's left, ending up behind Ryuu. In the process, Ryuu felt Jay rip his fist from Ryuu's grip, but Ryuu be damned if he let Jay shock him to death. "Good luck." The minute Jay's right arm shot out to grab hold of his neck, Ryuu whipped his right arm out out in a defensive position, moving his body with his sudden movement, as his arm just barely managed to stop Jay's hand from grabbing his neck, though it didn't come with a price, Ryuu winced slightly as he felt his arm get shocked and electrocuted from Jay's Qi. He would then proceed to slam his fist into Jay's hand should he hold onto Ryuu's arm, but the punch only served as a distraction, allowing Ryuu to strafe back away from Jay as fast as he could.

Ryuu began to feel the after effects of Jay's Qi, as it began to take its toll on his arm, as it hung loosely by his side. Though Ryuu began to wonder, just how long would Jay be able to keep his Qi up for. No matter what Qi a person had, even if it was the most powerful Qi in the world, if they lacked the ability to sustain it for a long period of time, it was next to useless. The flames still engulfing his hands, Ryuu brought his hands up in front of him, into a defensive position, as his eyes burned with determination. Ryuu wasn't going to give up, even though he couldn't feel his arm all that much right now. It was time to kick it up a notch, literally.

BURN BABY BURN

(OOC: CON: 47)

[Jay]

"Good luck."

The boy whipped around, making Jay grab his arm instead. Which surprised Jay a bit, because he didn't remember the boy being so fast. But he supposed, when one's life was at stake, one would probably become faster. But cool, he still had the boy's arm, and he was still shocking him. As the boy reeled his arm back to punch his fist, Jay simply twisted his wrist, and pulled the boy towards him. If the boy didn't comply with Jay's "subtle commands," he was looking at a dislocated shoulder, or worse, a broken arm. If the boy did follow through after being yanked, Jay would send his head into the boy's nose, in hopes of breaking it.

"You need it."

[Ryuu]

Ryuu had to hand it to the guy, he was fast. As Ryuu cocked his fist back to TRY and punch the guy's fist, since he was merely using this as a distraction, he felt himself being pulled forward, towards the guy, who had twisted his wrist. Instead of resisting however, Ryuu followed through with the movement, to avoid having his shoulder dislocated or broken. His eyes darted at Jay, who had begun to send his head flying forward, aimed right at Ryuu's nose, to try and break it. But instead, Ryuu reared his head back, and sent it flying forward, headbutting Jay right back.

*CRACK!*

Ryuu could feel the sting of the blow into his brain, rattling his head. But despite the blow to his own skull, giving him a headache, Ryuu was still able to think, and so, wasting no time, he would rip his arm out of Jay's grip, before strafing back away from him once more. Even though Jay's Qi had already passed through Ryuu's heart more than once, it wasn't enough to send his heart into shock. But Ryuu seriously didn't feel like getting electrocuted again and possibly end up killing him. He then brought his hands up in front of him once more, as his eyes narrowed not in fury, but in concentration. His Qi was concentrated in his hand most likely, so what's the lesson here kids? Keep all hands and feet away from his hand. And that was exactly what Ryuu planned to do. Time to party beezatches!

(OOC: CON: 45)

[Jay]

((Well, just thought I'd let you know electricity moves pretty quickly (like, faster than sound). Unless you have a forcefield around your heart, the electricity has passed through your heart already. A plausible explanation for why you're alive would be your high constitution. But don't say it didn't touch your heart.))

BANG!

Jay's head was tossed back from the impulse delivered to his head. Holy fuck, the boy's head was a lot harder than he'd anticipated. And so, Ryuu's little escape plan worked, as Jay lost focus momentarily, also developing a massive headache. He felt Ryuu's arm slip from his grip, and he cursed himself for his foolishness. Damnit. Now Jay's policy of beating them until they were motionless would have to wait.

But damn, it seemed Ryuu figured something about Jay's chi. It's true that I have yet to learn how to emit from other places... Jay thought. But wasn't it impossible to keep yourself away from someone's hands when you were fighting? Jay groaned, looking over at the boy, who'd taken the time to regroup.

"Aish... jjajingna...." (Dang, I'm annoyed...)

[Ryuu]

Ryuu darted back away from Jay the minute he had headbutted him, successfully tearing his arm out of Jay's grip. Although Ryuu too had a massive headache, the pain was worth it, for it allowed Ryuu the time to regroup and focus. His hand... So far, it's the only part of his body that his Qi is discharged from, from what I've seen. I may not be able to completely avoid it, but as long as I don't allow him to get a hold of of me, he won't be able to use it. Ryuu heard Jay groan before looking over at him, and speak in Korean, but Ryuu didn't speak Korean, so he had absolutely no idea what he had just said.

Though from his tone of voice, it was clear Jay was thoroughly annoyed. So much for a easy win huh? His flame engulfed hands in front of him, his legs spread out slightly, Ryuu breathed and focused, in order to allow him to react better to Jay's attacks. Ryuu's eyes narrowed in concentration, as he waited for an attack from Jay, ready to react and stop his hand from making any contact with Ryuu. Taekwondo wasn't the only martial art Ryuu was trained in. Bring it on... bastard...

(OOC: CON: 43)

[Jay]

The dude's not going to make the first move?

Disappointing, but Jay supposed he wouldn't have either, if he didn't have to. But hey, weren't they in the same boat? Neither of them really wanted to attack first; the only thing keeping them glued to the fight was pride - such a dumb thing to fight for. And yet... the feeling we get from preserving it is so... satisfying. It's like love, I suppose - it's all nature's illusion to trick you into making kids. Know what I'm saying?

"Hnn..."

And so, when it became apparent that the boy wasn't going to make the first move, Jay sighed and began taking slow steps towards the boy. This sucks. Man, even though Jay hadn't gotten into many fights since his amnesia, he still felt like a decent fighter, though for some reason, his body was telling him there was something wrong - fights weren't this hard for him in the past.

But what can you do? To start off nice and simply again, Jay simply tossed his right fist at the boy's cheek; a right hook.

[Ryuu]

Damn straight Ryuu wasn't going to make the first move. He wasn't dumb enough to let any part of his body get caught in Jay's hand, and get the shit electrocuted out of him, throw his heart into shock, and possibly keel over. I'm pretty sure Emily would never forgive Ryuu if that happened. He heard Jay sigh, before taking slow steps towards Ryuu, surprising huh? That Ryuu was able to keep up, even though Jay was stronger and faster than him? Well Ryuu had been working hard, slowly but surely becoming stronger. But he didn't want strength for himself alone, he wanted strength, so he would be able to protect his father, his older sister, and everyone he cared about. But there was one person whom he wanted to protect most of all. Emily. He had no doubt she could protect herself, but even so, he wanted to protect her in his own way.

That alone spurred him on to become stronger. It seemed Jay was going back to nice and simple, and tossed a right hook right at Ryuu's cheek. But given how slow Jay had been moving, Ryuu spotted the movements right away, and simply ducked underneath the strike. He could feel the effects of his Qi begin to affect him right away, so to avoid losing anymore body heat, he deactivated his Qi, the flames around his fists disappearing. From there, considering how close in proximity he and Jay were, Ryuu extended his index and middle fingers, and his right hand hidden by his body as he surged forward, aimed for the top of Jay's ribs, just before the large plate of bone covering his heart, to try and knock the wind out of him. His left arm was kept close, in case he needed to defend or even push himself away from Jay to avoid his hand, should his strike not connect.

(OOC: CON: 43, Qi deactivated)

[Jay]

Well...

Jay watched as the boy attempted to be smart, and ducked below the obvious decoy punch. Not only that, but the boy's back was pretty close to a wall, so he couldn't have escaped even if he tried. With a smirk, Jay simply turned the direction of his punch up, letting his elbow point down at the top of Ryuu's head. Not losing a second, Jay slammed it home; right on top of Ryuu's head. Even if the attack hit, Jay would be merciless, extending the same arm downwards, and gripping Ryuu by the back of his neck, all the while emitting electricity.

Now, to deal with the "killer move" that was coming his way. Let's first take a look at this diagram. Do you see any bone besides the rib protecting the heart? If he was aiming to knock the wind out of Jay, the diaphragm would have been the obvious choice. Instead, he wanted to jab Jay with his fingers while they were close in range. Well...

Was it going to hurt?
Probably, yeah.

Would it have the effect Ryuu wanted?
Definitely not.

And so, as Jay felt a slight spasm of pain in his chest, he grew even more angry and annoyed, this time opting to give Ryuu a different side of him; his right knee to his face.
