Fighting on School Grounds (Open)

[ethan]

Well, here was a dandy little scenario that benefitted almost everyone. Most fighting in the school was pretty mindless, like a lot of life in general: someone said something, or looks were exchanged, or someone was in a bad mood. Here, there seemed to be money involved. Fighting for profit.

A small cadre of hoodlums resided near a softball court, getting people to fight, paying money to whoever won, and recording it all on camera. Cynical, but surprisingly innovative: all they had to practically do was ask someone to do it, and they would deliver. A group of football players even beat on a little freshman for no reason other than for attention.

Ethan had no idea how he'd come to be mixed up in any of it. Someone said something, Ethan had replied, a push had literally come to shove, and then Ethan's fist had ended up in the offender's mouth. His buddies had tried to intervene, but in a matter of twenty seconds, they had ended up on the concrete with their friend, bloodied and bruised in various places. Ethan accepted the money without giving it much thought.

Just as he was about to walk away, another imbecile called him out verbally, despite Ethan demonstrating what he was capable of. A clown in a karate gi(?), his legs comically spread wide in a traditional stance. Turning back around and calmly striding back to face the new challenger, a very small smile tugged at the corner's of Ethan's mouth.

Surprisingly, the karate-kid did pretty well, managing to take a few shots at Ethan, though none of them found their marks. He even blocked a few lazy punches from Ethan before he decided he'd had enough. Ethan stepped forward suddenly, releasing a new found speed on the poor sod. He made a fake jab at the wannabe-karate fighter's stomach, instead chopping at his throat, then reaching a hand behind his head and snatching the back of his hair.

Forcing the kid onto his knees, Ethan began mercilessly hitting him in the face with his free fist, then half-way through, hitting him with his elbow instead. By the time Ethan got tired of relieving his stress on the other fighter, his face was bloodier than a piece of raw meat, and bits of his teeth laying around on the ground.

"Nicely fought," Ethan said sarcastically as the fool slouched over and slumped to the ground, making a rather repulsive gurgling noise. He'd at least some small knowledge of real combat, but Ethan's speed and rythm had been at a level far above this loser's.

Ethan was about to pocket his extra money when he noticed that a boy in the corner had been video-taping him. Ethan didn't like being visually recorded by anyone, things like that could possibly incriminate him with the authorities if they ever found out he'd been behind a bank robbery, among various myriad other things.

"Turn that off," Ethan said softly, walking up to the "cameraman" recording him. When he was met with only a smart-ass remark, Ethan swatted the camera out of the surly chump's hands, sending it crashing to the ground. The thug tried to pull a knife on him, but Ethan downed him with five fast punches.

When his friends rushed up to try to fight Ethan in retaliation, Ethan became a whirlwind of motion, leaping, kicking, twisting, punching, jabbing. However, he'd underestimated how many of them there were, about eleven against one....make that ten.....

[Sara Quinn]

Sara watched the fight from her position on the bench. She hugged her stomach as she watched, rocking back and forth trying to stop the pain. Yes. It was Sara's time of the month. And she was in no mood for this. At all. The crowd gathering to watch the fight was getting larger and larger, coming closer and closer to her bench. She wanted them to go away, leave her be. Instead, they just kept on coming. Someone jumped up onto the bench next to her, and she glared up at him. He took one look at the stank eye she gave him and immediately left.

Enough of this. She just wanted some peace, and she wasn't going to get it with this silly fight going on. She pushed herself to her feet and staggered through the crowd. Call it a momentary lapse in her new found sanity. Seemed she was having a lot of those lately... She had gone back to being in her right mind, but today? Nooo... Today was NOT a good day to mess with Sara.

She finally reached the fight, and punched the guy nearest her, knocking him out in one go. Another punch, breaking some guy's nose. Ignoring his cries, she moved on to the next one, throwing a kick into his side and a punch to his abdomen. Seeing a girl suddenly enter the fray, especially THIS girl, stopped another guy dead in his tracks. She was looking for the one who started this. She guessed it was the one that the others seemed to be going for.

She pushed her way over to him. He was pretty good... All that kicking and jumping around... Oh, he was a dead boy... =_=" Not a good day to anger Sara... She slammed her fist into the face of another guy going to attack him from behind. When he dropped, she took his place, going behind him and attempting to Spartan kick him in the back to get his attention. "Knock it the FUCK OFF" D<

Ya, attacking people from behind wasn't nice... But this was Sara... On her period. She could do whatever the hell she wanted.

[ethan]

Something slammed itself with a raw force into Ethan's back, sending him flying forward. Ethan immediately went with the momentum, falling into a roll that went quite a ways away, since it had been a hard kick that hit him square on. He stopped in his roll, facing his new opponent in a crouch. He came to his feet, analyzing her.

She appeared to be an ordinary girl, nothing really unusual-looking about her. Of course, in this school that was a useless barometer to measure one's opponents by, and that kick had a lot of power behind it. She could fight. And very-possibly outfight him. And she looked quite angry.

"Knock it the FUCK OFF" D<

She probably was angry.

It likely wasn't the smartest idea to take her on, but Ethan wasn't about to back out, not after what he'd just been through. No. Finally, someone showed up who was more than worth his attention. He wanted to see how he measured up against her.

"Hmm? You going to stop me?"

Ethan sprinted directly at her, but rather than directly attack, which she would be expecting, he jumped and flipped over her right when he was close to her. Doing a one-eighty in the air, he would catch himself by executing a hand-plant on the top of her head. He would then let himself fall neatly behind her while kicking out, attempting to send her flying forward like she'd done to him.

[Sara Quinn]

Sara just watched him with an annoyed look on her face as he rolled forward with the force of her kick. Her arms wrapped around her stomach again. He stopped in a crouch. She knew immediately he wasn't going to stop this without a fight... =_=" And it did not please her.

She didn't really care how strong or fast he was, she what she cared about was putting an end to this silly crap. Didn't he know people were bleeding here D<

She looked over at the guy whose nose she had broken. Mhm... People were definitely bleeding =_=" See the chaos he was causing? She was in no mood for it D< The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Did he have any idea what it was like to be disturbed this time of the month D< No, he damn well did NOT.

"Hmm? You going to stop me?"

... Hormones ftw... HELL YES SHE WAS GOING TO STOP HIM D<

Her arms left her stomach as he ran at her, going out to her sides as she tensed, preparing to counter. She assumed, like most stupid guys hell bent on fighting, that he was coming for a straight on attack. Apparently.. That wasn't the case her =_="

Her eyes widened as he suddenly jumped. His hand planted on her head, pushing down on her. And that's when it hit her. She dropped under his weight. No graceful landing for him. Oh no. Him placing his weight on her for balance during his flip and her dropping would most likely cause him to land in a heap just behind her because of his momentum.

Simple, but effective.

If he landed as she thought he would, she would somersault back, landing on top of him with her legs on either side of him, pinning him under her. She would immediately slam her right fist down in his face, her free hand going for his neck to choke him. "I said STOP IT!"

[ethan]

She seemed to be one step ahead of him, dropping down low so Ethan would be sent careening to the ground.

Of course, Ethan twisted himself in the air, adjusting so he would still land in a crouch...it worked, but he practically buckled from the awkward landing as he hadn't been planning on that happening.

The girl he was now fighting seemed to possess a similar acrobatic ability, somersaulting behind him and pinning his shoulders together with her legs (OOC: that right?). She reached a hand down and punched him hard in the face, drawing blood from his lower lip while attempting to choke him with her other hand.

"I said STOP IT!"

"Hmph". Ethan wasn't done yet. He would reach up for the hand on the back of his neck choking him and attempt to twist it, either breaking her wrist or at least putting enough stress on it to make her let go. At the same time, he would slam an elbow up into her stomach to add further damage.

The moment she let go, he would roll away from her and enter a fighting stance, spitting out some blood from his mouth and shaking his head a little. For some reason, she seemed to be much stronger physically than he was, despite being a female.

[Sara Quinn]

OOC - Whoaaaa, I gotta stop posting at 4 or 5 am >_>" Almost forgot how to RP with a new person (new person as in someone I've never RPed with before ") Gotta remember to put in more detail ><" Sorry >< Don't worry though, I'm flexible, take my moves however they sound, ill work with it ;D

The guy suddenly reached up, grabbing onto her hand that she was trying to choke him with. He twisted, and realizing that it would be better to avoid this one then continue to fight this way, she let go. It wasn't worth it from this angle. She had managed to do some damage to him, so that was good, now it was best to back off and try again for a better attack.

His elbow slammed into her stomach and she backed off, her arms wrapping around her poor abdomen. She let out a groan of pain. It wasn't that he was terribly strong, but her stomach was hurting already D: Why did he have to go for her stomach? DDD: She lifted her eyes up to him, glaring as she watched him. He was pretty good. She had to give him that much.

She ran at him, drawing her right fist back as though she was going for a punch to his face. At the last second though, just as she was about to reach him, she dropped to her left knee, sweeping her right leg out low to the ground in an attempt to trip him at his ankles. Pivoting on the knee and the momentum of the leg sweep would bring her body around, turning her so that her back was to him. Still on her knee, she would slam her left elbow back to elbow him in the side.

If the trip worked, the elbow would slam into him as he fell. If he had managed to dodge the trip, the elbow would hit him as her second attack.

[ethan]

((OOC: lol, don't worry, it's not like I'm gonna judge you or anything ;D. Also, I'm a newb at fighting, so if I don't put up enough detail in my own writing, tell me. I understand you fine so far.))

Well, at least her apparent burst of estrogen didn't completely block out her judgement. She let go of him, though not before Ethan got off a solid hit on her stomach. That immediately had some effect on her. Ethan noted it in the back of his mind.

Of course, that didn't stop her from advancing again. She recovered incredibly fast, and moved at him faster than he could properly defend against. He moved an arm up to push aside the oncoming punch, but it was a fakeout; very clever of her, seeing that was a technique Ethan himself often used on others. Instead, her leg swept out and attempted to trip Ethan. He barely hopped over the sweeping kick, but he wasn't ready for the third feint into an attack.

She slammed her elbow into his side, and pain lanced into his exposed ab. Ethan dropped down to one knee, wincing from the impact. In response, he would pivot while kneeling, throwing up a defensive kick so she wouldn't immediately come after him. The arc of the kick would bring him upright again, and he would advance with a deceptive feint of his own:

Ethan would lunge at her, throwing a left straight at her face. Except, he would intentionally miss, going past her head. At that same instant, he would cross his right arm under his left, and pinch at the side of her neck. This would cause her to flinch and go down to her knee, a reverse of their positions before. Ethan would follow with a quick right knee, and then a left knee into her stomach.

[Sara Quinn]

The boy was quicker on his feet then she expected, but that was why she always had another last twist in her attacks. He dodged the trip, but took the elbow. Perfect. Finishing the attack and using the momentum from it, she easily gained her feet again, standing up straight facing him as he dropped to his knee. The plan would have been to move into another attack immediately.

Unfortunately, he recovered fast, and she was surprised to see a kick coming for her. Instinctively, she backpedaled, the kick missing her, but catching her off guard gave him an opening. Sara mentally slapped herself for not being on guard for any counters from him. It was a stupid move on her part, and by this point, she should have known better. Enough of this... Sara was done playing games, it was time to bring out the big guns~ ;D

He threw himself at her and she reacted immediately. She wasn't going to run, or flinch. No. Sara moved forward, towards him. His left punch would miss her, and she would move past him, along his left side. His right hand would not be able to reach her from the other side of his body.

As she passed him, she would turn towards his body, and her hand would come up. This was simple, he had sealed it. The chance that he would dodge what she was about to do would be slim and a smile touched her lips at how perfect it had turned out.

She needed only one touch, a simple brush against him. Her left hand would come up as she passed him, touching his side or back. Just as she touched him a faint green wind would flow gently over her skin and a loud boom would fill the small area signaling the activation of her qi. The moment she touched him, he would be hit with a tremendous amount of force. He would be slammed away from her, flying forward. The 'burst' as she liked to call it wouldn't hurt him. The landing might though ;D

She quickly followed after him, aiming to slam her foot into his side as he landed. It wasn't the burst she was after though, it was the effect her qi had on her that she wanted.

[ethan]

It all seemed to happen in slow-motion. She passed him by almost effortlessy...like he was some sort of fat cow meandering by. Before Ethan could even react, he felt something, the tip of her fingers brushing against his shoulder. He tried to pull away, thinking she was attempting to grab him somehow.

The next instant, a huge *boom* nearly deafened him, and he was somehow sent flying forward.

Ethan couldn't see what had happened or what was happening, only aware that he was accelerating forward fast, through the air.
This time, he had no chance of gaining his bearings. He went rolling and tumbling sideways until he hit a wall somewhere.

Dazed from the impact of the blow, Ethan coughed from the dust stirred up and tried to push himself up off his back, but couldn't quite yet. What had she managed to hit him with?

Was it a Qi?

It was a Qi. Had to be.

Ethan heard footsteps running up to him. No doubt she was intent on finishing the job. His eyes shooting wide open, Ethan threw out his arms to absorb whatever blow came next. The kick came down heavily on him, and Ethan gasped, winded from what felt like a mallet dropping on him.

Ethan would attempt to latch onto the leg, holding her in place for a second long enough to fling up his own right leg and kick her in the back, to send her flying forward down into the ground. Ethan would then try to pull himself up off the ground, if she didn't tackle him down again.

[Trizen Takano]

((Hope you don't mind me spectating for a little while ^^; This looks interesting.))

Coming out of the music room, Trizen had a successful class yet again. Aside from the disturbances outside a little earlier, the boy managed to get through the entire class without being annoyed by his rival... well... self-nominated rival.

For some reason or another, it seemed the only thing our raven-haired sophomore was capable of doing was making enemies. Not for any particular toss of words or shaking of fist. Nope. Instead, it was by remaining silent and doing his work quietly. And it was in that silence that Trizen had obtained the highest mark in that music class. With the marks received from exams and other such things outside of the school's music program, the boy really had no reason to enroll in the class. And even as he did, he could have been in the senior class -- which he was every now and again, but just to audit. There were a lot of talented musicians in this school and that's what attracted Trizen. Especially since the visit from that girl, Pepper. But that was a different story.

Back to the main prose, the boy was in a good mood. Nothing seemed to be going terribly wrong today which was typically the case in PHS 42. Something was always wrong. Well, he would catch his luck when...

*BOOM!*

A kid was knocked straight into a wall nearby. Looking a little closer, the boy actually looked very familiar. It was... well, that same kid that was robbing the back a few weeks back. But who launched him there? Looking up, he saw her. Sara. She was crazy. Or, that's what he knew her to be at least.

Trizen wanted to intervene, but he didn't know what was going on. He didn't know the story. All he knew was that this kid, the nameless blonde was going to be pummeled if Sara didn't stop herself. He was in plain view of the pair of them, and gritted his teeth as he watched what Sara's next move would be. What her choice would be.

[Sara Quinn]

OOC - I've never had a spectator before =D!!!! Epic!!!

Sara followed after the kid as her Qi hit him, sending him flying. She smiled evilly, letting out a laugh as he slammed into the wall. That had been awesome. It had been a while since she had felt this thrill of adrenaline. She came up slamming her foot into him (OOC - Sorry, I hadn't mentioned where the kick was going " We'll just leave that open LOL, my bad~...). He reached out, grabbing at her leg. Off balance from the kick, he easily caught her... And she didn't put up much of a fight. The kid deserved to get his own licks in.

She pivoted on her free foot and planted it trying to keep her balance as his kick slammed into her back. The free foot slide a few inches on the ground, but acted as a break, stopping her from flying forward, her tensed body keeping her upright. She turned to face him again, the anger showing on her face. The damn kid just wouldn't give up....

She would try to catch him before he got to his feet, but even if he did, it made no difference to her. She stepped towards him, attempting to grab onto his hair with her left hand. Swinging him around, she would try to slam him into the wall again, holding him there. Her right hand would slam forward at his face, and she would bring her left knee up to slam it into his gut.

[ethan]

Ethan pulled his knees up to his chest, and then flung his legs forward, leaping to his feet. But it wasn't long before he was grabbed by his long hair and strung along. Ethan struggled, but couldn't quite get ahold of her hand again.

Scowling, Ethan saw he was going to be pinned against something nearby. He kicked his right leg out at the wall, supporting himself so she wouldn't merely be able to pin him to it.

As soon as Ethan did this, he would then push off the wall with his right leg and step onto her right knee, while lifting his other leg and placing a low-to-high kick under her chin. If the attack worked, Ethan would flip away from her in the air gracefully, and she would be sent flying back, or at least would stagger back a ways.

[Trizen Takano]

This was certainly getting out of control.

Sara did have the apparent upperhand in this battle and young Takano stood and watched in what felt to be a numbing sort of feeling. He knew he had to do something. He wondered how this fight even got started, but even if Ethan was the one who started this fight, Sara by all means had the power to finish it without a force of thought or flinch. This blonde boy was no match for her -- and neither was Trizen for all intensive purposes. But...

"STOP IT!" Trizen shouted from where he was standing, clearly visible to the pair of them, "Neither of you need to continue. This student is in no condition to fight you, Sara. And you have the power to stop this. Please, end the fight, no one needs to get hurt any further than need be."

The young man of fifteen watched both Sara as Ethan was making his manuver to try and counter Sara's attack. She had him stuffed against a wall once again, and the launch into it looked quite painful. Miss Quinn had certainly gotten stronger, but it wasn't for Trizen to guess how much. Last he had seen her was during the school riot against Mister Orange. She hurt her back terribly that time. The very memory shook him to the core, but he had to shake it off.

"Sara, please stop this." He asked not just to Sara, but the other boy too. Students that were in the hallway either backed away slowly or were knocked out cold from the previous set of bouts Ethan had managed to get involved with. Now Trizen was here to try and cool things down. He hoped.
