Vent (Sara Quinn)

[Matrim Gallagher]

(OOC: Directly after Message)

Matrim had to walk over a wrecked car to get out, but he got out. Walking slowly as he made his way toward the courtyard, the battle in his body raging on. He was incredibly pissed off, and at the same time incredibly guilt driven to do something about what he had done. Part of him wanted to go back and save the girl, the other part wanted to go back and kill Gabriel. One part of him wanted to go fight some random weakling student, another part of him wanted to find somebody to confide in. His mind was twisted and warped, both sides screamed in his head for control. A third voice hidden beneath them.... A third voice that had been gone for quite some time.

You're shitting me, just ignore them... ignore them and listen to logic. Go home, grieve, get over it.

Matrim couldn't get over it, and the voice was drowned out by the other two. So he walked along the courtyard, walking and just zoning out as he did. He didn't get too far though, mostly he was trying to concentrate on how to feel about what he did, what he should do next, and how he should feel about that. The death of Reira sparked every emotion in him simultaneous, but there was no logic in the situation, no sense to make out of anything.

[Sara Quinn]

Sara, after checking that the girl was fine, followed after Matrim, leaving the others behind to tend to the girl. Matrim had managed to put enough distance between the group and him that there was no chance they would be overheard, and she had to run to catch up to him. Or was it Beta? Whoever the hell it was, didn't matter, Sara wasn't going to let him out of her sight after what had just happened. She hadn't seen him after they had fallen asleep at her house, and she had woken up alone to his note.

She knew he must be hurting, but at the same time, incredibly angry, and it was for this reason that she followed him prepared for the worst. She really didn't know how he would react to her following him, but she knew she could handle it. He had threatened to kill the others, not her, so there was no fear as she followed, only concern for him and how he was going to react. Although she was prepared for a fight, she would prefer it didn't come to that.

She didn't know why she was following him though, she really should have just left him the hell alone after what had happened the other night. Her feelings towards him at the moment were so messed up, she really didn't know what to think. The only thing she was sure of was that she didn't want to see him like this and couldn't just let him walk away.

"Matrim! Wait up..." she called out when she was closer to him. She had no problem catching up with him at a jog. She finally came to a slow stop, standing a few feet away from him, out of his reach. "Are you... Ok? What was that about...?"

[Matrim Gallagher]

"Are you... Ok? What was that about...?" Sara said, approaching him. His head turned and through his glasses he noticed that she was out of his arms reach. Alpha wanted to attack her again, Beta was holding Alpha back since their last meeting didn't go well. And the emergence of a third voice only confused him further. His aggression and sadness mixed into something else, confusion. The analytical date came in, and all that he could think about was fighting. The analytical side of it, not the emotional side of it.

She is out of arms reach, you would have to take a step toward her. She is fast, possibly faster. The element of surprise would do greatly, but you do not have that here. You're best plan would be to tire her out, make her run around until she couldn't run anymore. Her Qi suggests that she could run away if need be. Fighting her would be useless and a waste of time and resources.

The element of surprise huh....

"Yeah... it's just like last time... its just like last time. It took a death back then too. It took a death for him to get off his ass and do something," Matrim said. He didn't think about attacking her again, his mood swinging quickly to reflective. He looked away from her and thought about it, "He just refused to do anything, he stayed out of it. He could have stopped it....... HE COULD HAVE STOPPED IT!"

And like that Matrim jumped back and twisted to the left bringing his left elbow back and down for Sara's nose hoping she wouldn't expect him to attack like this. He would swing all the way around on his left foot, his right leg would swing around and the knee would aim for her left side. After the kick he would bring that leg back and down so that his left side was pointed at her. A determined look on his face, almost as if they were sparring. He wasn't going for the kill, Beta was holding him back from that much.

I see you haven't changed a bit Alpha...

[Sara Quinn]

Sara watched him closely, sure that he was going to fight her. As much as she didn't want to, she was sure he would at one point, and she would be ready. But when he started to speak, she found herself confused, and her guard dropping. He turned from her, and she assumed the threat was gone. She had no idea what he was talking about. She opened her mouth to question him when he suddenly moved. She had no time to counter.

His body came back, his left arm coming back and down at her face. Knowing his strength, her only option was to dodge. Instinctively, she dropped to her knees, out of his reach. For the first time in her life, she was thankful for being so short. The whole attack had surprised her to begin with, so when he suddenly turned, his leg coming at her, again, she had no time to dodge. She could only brace herself as his leg slammed into the side of her head.

The only consolation to this was that dropping to her knees had brought her closer to his body, thus, she was hit by his thigh, not his knee, and the strength of the attack was lessened. It still hurt, her body thrown to the side from the force, but it could have been a lot worse.

She was thrown to the right, and used her right forearm like a brake to bring herself to a stop. As quick as she could, she shifted into a crouch, pushing herself back onto her feet, her left side towards him. She glared at him, unaware of what was happening at her feet. The grass and dirt were moving, as though a wind was flowing just around her feet. Sara was more then a little pissed right now at Matrim, but she wasn't going to attack him. Not yet. She was faster, but she knew only to well what his strength was like. She wouldn't attack until she had the perfect opening.

She remained crouched as she spoke to him. "You done now? Or do you still feel the need to attack me? Maybe I should just turn around so you could cheap shot me that way? Pussy, worried you can't hit me without catching me off guard?" Pushing his buttons? Maybe.

[Matrim Gallagher]

Remember what Matrim did to Kentler Sudeki?

The idea of bluffing this girl is favorable. It has worked in the past, just like an element of surprise, the idea of tricking her into thinking we will do one thing but go with another is very likely.

I think she's enjoying this...

Matrim took a step back with his left foot, placing it back and crouching slightly. He then stopped off quickly his left foot stepping down and sliding slightly forward, his right foot came up as if he was going to kick her, his body tiwsted to the right slightly so that he was almost hovering over her, instead of kicking her however while she might be expecting a foot, his left hand would reach the back of her neck and grab her scruff, pulling her up into the air.

Pulling her up into the air would shift his weight onto his right foot and he would lean back and kick his left leg up at her torso aiming to kick her while she was in the air, and then swing the foot down. That way if she grabbed onto it at all she would be brought down with his foot and would soon have his weight stomping down against her depending on how she might have grabbed his foot.

[Sara Quinn]

He managed to catch Sara off guard again. She had been expecting a kick. Common sense said a kick. She moved to block it, her forearm raising to take the hit, but when he grabbed her by the scruff of the neck and pulled her into the air, she was really surprised. It felt like the stomach dropped out of her as she came back down, landing on the foot he had lifted.

She fell right into his trap, her arms instinctively wrapping around the leg as his foot dug into her stomach. Her legs awkwardly swung inwards so that she would land on her back, and as he brought his leg down her only thought was 'oh shit...' She tensed, preparing for impact. She knew how she could lessen the force of it, but it was risky. As he threw his leg downward, she tried to keep her grip on his leg, her fingers digging into the skin. As her back slammed into the ground, her qi activated, the faint green wind flowing just above her skin.

The force of slamming into the ground would be lessened, and Matrim, off balance from the attack, would be thrown backwards, most likely to land on his back. Sara, holding onto his leg, and bursting from the ground would be going with him. Using the momentum she would be thrown forward, landing on top of him. Immediately, she would straighten on him, attempting to pin him with her legs as she slammed her fists down at his face.

That's what you get for being so prideful Alpha.....

Shut up Omega.....[/i]

Matrim's leg shot up as her Qi burst her forward. With her added strength and speed he was taken off balance and fell back with his leg shooting up, giving her the momentum to shoot for his face with her fists as he landed. His shoulder blades hit and he bounced up only to be caught by her knees digging into his shoulders. She pinned him down and began to punch his face in. Matrim was taking the hits like a champ though, since he was extremely tough but she was still getting the hits in. Matrim also didn't notice the back of his head was bleeding from the impact with the hard ground. It wasn't soft grass, but rather hard cement. The sheer speed and force made the hit hurt like a bitch.

Getting loopy in the head Matrim's teeth gritted and his vision blurred as he was being punched. But he tried his best to throw his left fist into her right side, attempting to push through the pin and use his strength to slam her away from him. If anything he did it just to get a breather from her. He was tough, but it didn't mean he necessarily wanted to fight.

Any ideas?

Yeah... I'll just torch the bitch! It'll just take me some time.....

Don't you dare call her that.......[/i]

[Sara Quinn]

Sara continued to land punch after punch on Matrim's face, a sick stab of accomplishment flowed through her. Never before had she been on top in a fight against him. This was a first, and even with her mind in a better place then it had been, she wasn't about to let this chance pass up. She was going for the knock out. She just needed to keep the upper hand. He would try to retaliate soon, and she would just need to be prepared.

His fist flew up into her right side. A spasm of pain ripped through her side, but she tried to remain upright, sliding her left leg off his shoulder as she moved with the force of his punch, planting it on the ground as she tried to stay on him and keep her balance.

There was no way in hell she was giving up now. Call it a momentary lapse in her new found sanity, but she wasn't going to give up without a fight. If she managed to keep her balance, and he didn't fight back any more, her right hand would go for his neck, applying pressure and attempting to choke him as she tried to slam her left fist into his face.

Oh look at that you're being choked.

FUCK YOU OMEGA!!!!

Never took you for being the sub in the relationship, A.

Alpha was pissed, concentrating his Qi, the bitch wanted to go? Alpha was more than willing to take the gloves off and get his Qi prepared. She grabbed his neck sure, but Matrim's hands both went instinctively to the right arm that was choking him, right hand grabbing near the wrist, left hand along the forearm, he would do something really old school with her, and grip down as tight as possible and proceed to give her the Indian burn from HELL, twisting opposite ways at her skin with each hand.

Let's crank up the heat!

Matrim would withstand the punching and force in breath, he was tough and she wasn't horribly strong, even with her Qi going. So Matrim would charge his Qi and get ready, fire thrived on oxygen, and with her wind Qi he'd have plenty to burn up without worrying about asphyxiating himself at all. They were outside after all, this would be fun!!!!

Let's see how this little bitch likes being choked once I get the flames going! She'll wish she had been hit away!

[Sara Quinn]

As Sara slammed her left fist down, her reached up and grabbed onto her arm. She assumed something really bad, like breaking her arm, and instinctively loosened her grip on his neck. Instead... He gave her an Indian burn... Which actually really hurt D< She slammed her fist down into his face that much harder, but it seemed to make no difference. She needed to get out of this one... Now.

She pushed to her feet, her right leg sliding off onto the ground so both feet would be on the ground, as she tried to stand. She was hunched over as he gripped her arm, but hopefully, not for long. Bringing her left foot over so that both her feet were on the left side of his body, she pulled her arm, trying to twist it out of his grasp, and lifted her foot, attempting to slam it down on his face until he let go of her.

She knew he had something planned, and she needed to get away. If he got his qi going with his hands on her... She really didn't need more burns on her body.

Matrim's hands wouldn't let go of her arm as his arms and legs set fire. His Qi burning now she would get more burn and less indian in that arm grab. She attempted to stand up but would instead find herself slightly slouched as he kept a hold on her arm, he rocked his body back so his center of gravity shifted, his legs would come up and wrap around her waist and he would rock the weight forward again, attempting to slam her shoulder blades against ground. The hold on her arm would keep her from smacking her head in this case, but he would quickly let go of that and hook his arms around her legs, his hands grabbing her calves near the back of the knees.

Matrim would then roll left so that they were both facing down and he would set up on his knees quickly, pulling those legs up and back so that he had her in the walls of jericho. He would squat down so that her back and legs would have pressure on them, the outsides of her thighs would be being burned by the flames on his legs, as well as where his arms touched her legs, where his hands gripped them. Her jean material would heat up and burn before he got to skin, but they wouldn't last long against the flames of his Qi.

Yeah.... suck it Omega.

You and your Qi.... almost as bad as the shield, really.

You better let her go.....

Don't worry Beta, she can take it. Besides, I'm sure she has learned when she should give in...... besides..... it's almost over with.....

The fuck you talking about Omega?

Nothing.
Nothing.

Of course he didn't let go... =_=" Of course... It was never that easy. She let out a cry as his Qi ignited, his arms and legs catching fire. In her moment of shock, his legs came up, wrapping around her waist. Why was this a moment of deja vu.... "

She was slammed back, her back hitting the ground hard. If it hadn't been for him holding on to her arm, she would have hit her head. Bonus... But she was still getting burned. Even as he let go of her arm, his legs were still burning her, and his hands only moved to her legs. She let out a cry of fear, not wanting to be burned.

He suddenly rolled, getting to his knees and pulling her legs, locking her in position. She cried out again at the comfortableness, realizing where this had happened before, and she didn't like it. The only thing protecting her skin was her clothes, but she could feel them burning. They would catch fire. Her mind raced, filling with fear. And she did the only thing she could think of. She gave up. She slammed her fist into the ground, yelling at him. "Enough, Matrim enough. Please! Enough!"

Sara had been burned once, she didn't need to be burned again, and with time and the threat of more burning against her, she really didn't have the time to think of a way out of the position. He would probably laugh at her, call her weak, but there was nothing else she could do. She wasn't going to get burned again... Or at least burned as little as possible.

"Enough, Matrim enough. Please! Enough!"

"Wow that was---"

Beta, it's singing your song.

Got it!

"Good, really good... you were kicking Alpha's ass... but don't worry, Omega made sure you didn't crack your skull," Beta said, letting go and ending the Qi, moving forward away from her after he let go. He got up and turned around to face her, hopefully she wouldn't attack him given what was about to happen, "It was nice meeting you. Guess it's time though," He said and looked up toward the sky.

WHAT THE HELL!

(OOC:In his head, don't worry)
The three faced each other, an image of Matrim with blue hair from before 650, younger and more pissed off. It was Alpha, while an older Matrim, one from when his hair was blue but longer appeared with a smile. And lastly, a third figure, all black and static, but the outline was not of Matrim, rather someone else.

You're up Omega.

Omega took control, "Man this feels great to get out and stretch... I've been stuck in their for ages! But the good news is, the body is clean again....." Omega turned to see Sara, and would quickly go, "Uhh.... Alpha did it......" He said, and wanted to point somewhere but Alpha wasn't physically there. So instead he smiled sheepishly hoping she wouldn't attack him for something Matrim did.

[Sara Quinn]

Sara let out another grunt of pain as Matrim got off of her, letting go of her legs. She laid her face down on the ground and took a deep breath, tears welling in her eyes. Her arm hurt, and so did her legs, and just her body in general from that hold. Her ego also took a shot to from giving up. God, she hated him so much. Why the hell did she bother with him...

She rolled over onto her back and sat up to check out where he had burned her. As much as possible, she avoided looking at him. She wanted nothing to do with him at the moment. All this talk of Alpha, and Omega (which was a new one might she add) was getting to her. After checking out her arm and legs, the arm having the most damage, and the legs having been covered by her jeans... Which were now garbage... Again... GODDAMN, he ruined a lot of her clothes D< ... She tore off the bottoms of her jeans, ripping off the burnt fabric before it could stick to her skin, burning her more.

"It was nice meeting you. Guess it's time though."

Sara's gaze flew up to him. What...?

"Man this feels great to get out and stretch... I've been stuck in their for ages! But the good news is, the body is clean again..... Uhh.... Alpha did it......"

.... =_=" Sara was getting quite pissed. She glared at him, pushing herself onto the balls of her feet and crouching, ready to throw herself at him. "Who the FUCK are you now? And don't give me any crap, I'm sick of this, where is Matrim? THE Matrim?" She was done playing these games, dealing with these different personalities. She wanted Matrim back. The one that she had been friends with, who had trained her... The one she cared about.

[Matrim Gallagher]

"Who the FUCK are you now? And don't give me any crap, I'm sick of this, where is Matrim? THE Matrim?" She asked, and Omega looked over. He wasn't going to be there long, he was just taking his time. After all, it wasn't everyday someone like Omega got inside of Matrim's body and got to control it. He was basically the best lab experiment an Awren could ask for, and this was no different.

"Actually funny story, we don't know where Matrim Aldon is.... and he's THE Matrim.... but as for Matrim Gallagher? He's around. Just thought I'd stretch out a bit before I bring him back. Anyway, he's detoxed and his minds stable again.... hopefully nobody goes and does anything stupid like go after his kid, otherwise he's stable... grieving... but stable."

It was all ready to go, all he had to do was get ready.... he prepared himself.....

What the hell is he doing? How does he plan on getting rid of us?

Well.... the first time we fell off the roof and landed on our head......

You don't mean he's going to---

"Somehow.... I think I'm going to enjoy this," And Omega used Matrim's right fist, pulled it back and launched it straight at the side of his head, hitting as hard as he could, he stumbled and did it with the left fist and did the same, he fell over unconscious on the ground. He had beaten Sara, and then proceeded to kick his own ass after she gave up the fight. All he had to do was make sure the title was secure and keep Alpha busy while he did all the preliminary stuff.

Matrim was now unconscious, himself but completely knocked out and at the mercy of Sara. Thankfully.... she just lost the fight to him anyway by giving up.
