Burning brands and battering rams. (Open)

[Matrim Gallagher]

(OOC: I guess we're just gonna continue our little fight Gabriel? Hehehe... since Dirk has been... inactive I suppose we can keep our fight going.)

A bunch of punches came towards Matrim's face, Matrim's arm which had reached to grab Gabriels forearm (dont know if that connected or not) would maneuver quickly, aiming to pull on that forearm as Matrim would pull on Gabriels face a little. Hopefully he would tense up or loosen up a little. If he tensed up it'd mean he'd resist and pull back, if he loosened up he'd be easy to move around, either way would be a win for Matrim.

Matrim would pull back, but then he'd push off of his right foot which had been pressed against lockers, and he would ram Gabriel into the lockers opposite of where they were by the back of his head. The punches to the face hurt, but he wondered just how much the back of your head being rammed through lockers might hurt when you are having trouble getting air. Matrim would pin him against the lockers and attempt to keep him there, his other flaming fist holding onto the kids forearm (If he managed to grab that) to keep burning it.

Wonder how burnt up this kids face is getting from all this....

[Aureus]

OOC: I'll erm...remove Dirk from the thread. 'S not my intention to god him, but things need to keep rolling.

IC: Stumbling about, Aureus' opponent gripped his face with both hands. With a tick of a smile in the corner of his mouth, the dull-eyed boy grabbed the kid by his shirt and charged towards a window. Once they were five feet away, Aureus pushed the boy and followed it up with a kick to his chest. The Senior raised his hand to shield his eyes, but still managed to get a good view of the beautiful destruction. The whole force of it, the flying body, the breaking glass and the way the sun's ray slid over each shard, the rush of air that swarmed over his body and into the building, it all made him feel alive.

Breathing heavily, the ex-Pillar regained his composure and sense of where his remaining two opponents were. It seemed the Pillar had rammed the boy against the locker and was doing a damn fine job of burning him. Watching them from the corner of his eyes, Aureus walked across the hall to the locker they had dented moments before and pulled the door off it's hinges. Lockers were so useful.

His next move would be to slam the door into Matrim's back, or Gabriel's front, if the Pillar ducked. If the Varsity Captain decided to charge him, the Senior would do the same, with the locker door held in front of him.

[Gabriel Seran]

Gabriel was in a tight spot, the pillar had a hand over his one source of air, this was to be trouble from here there was only so much that could get done, he could only hit Matrim at a partial amount of success from that position he needed to get up in his face even though this was seemingly out to be a two vs. one opportunity he had to take advantage of it while he could.

A hand reached forth grasping his forearm, Gabriel felt only the need to constrict, the pain was brutal against his arm as the fiery strength of brutality stretched his arm. His mouth clenched tightly, his teeth biting down firm to keep his enamored screech held within. His arm pulled resisting being beaten into submission, in a swift moment his back was up against the lockers with a thrashing blow, he needed air. It felt like he was drowning in a pool of fire. Air, air, air. 1.2.3. it was gone flash lights went black and black became day he needed escape and his primal rage came out, Gabriel thrust his head violently about seeking freedom and bit down hard on Matrim’s thumb.

[Matrim Gallagher]

Matrim was pressing harder and harder against the kids head as it was pinned to the locker, then Matrim heard something behind him, his head turned quickly to see the other flame-fisted wonder tearing off a locker door, and Matrim was the target of this little attack. He quickly moved to his left a little, shifting his body to the right so that he could throw his left hand, which was still gripping the kids face, who had just bit his thumb. Matrim pushed through the pain, knowing the kid had just bit a really hot flaming thumb. He would probably burn his mouth, in fact, Matrim's thumb would wriggle it's way to the kids tongue to try and burn it.

He would throw the kids head into the incoming swinging locker door, aiming to get it so it hit the left side of the kids head, Matrim would continue the motion, setting the kid down a bit, but still holding onto his face, Matrim would then lean back on his right foot and shoot his left foot up towards Aureus' chin, in sweet chin music fashion, his left arm crossing over the front of his body, not paying as much attention go Gabriel who was probably getting burnt up and losing consciousness. At least he hoped for this, if his head had indeed come into contact with the locker door he would most likely have this happen.

[Aureus]

Aureus swung the improvised weapon from right to left with his left leg leading. The locker door connected with the student's head and a metallic thwap echoed forth. It hadn't been his intended target, but in the end it was probably for the best. After all, getting your face burnt, having your head slammed into a locker, and then having a locker door slammed into your head was enough to put most people out of commission. Thus, the dull-eyed boy would have one less opponent to contend with. This is exactly what Aureus needed, although he still hadn't been too banged up. In any case, back to the action.

The shift of the Varsity Captain's weight to his back leg and his rising left leg gave away the kick and Aureus leaned back to avoid it. This move left the boy's crotch right open and the Senior would attempt a kick to that area, only to have it slam into the other boy's torso, who Matrim was apparently swinging around like a rag doll whilst only holding him by his face. One hundred and sixty pounds being swung into his leg was a little much for Aureus, and he stumbled backwards onto the floor with the locker door falling behind him. At this point, he was even a little worried that the Varsity Captain's victim would die from suffocation, fourth degree burns, a concussion or two, and a broken neck. That could NOT be fun.

Reaching behind him, the dulled-eyed boy grabbed hold the locker and attempted to swing it into Matrim's left knee, which at this point had probably been lowered to the ground.

[Gabriel Seran]

Seconds left… Breath was fading at an alarming rate, he was feeling the sting in his lungs beg for the break, nothing good was to come out of this, the fiery thumb streached down onto his tongue forcing him to gag, air flushed out of his lungs and a patchy frame of colors decorated his vision still struggling for sight for air for a hold on anything he couldn’t feel any longer Gabriel was a rag doll getting thrown about and he didn’t know where there was only one hope one attempt at life at hope.

Gabriel closed his eyes and prayed…
Lord, I cannot see, cannot hear, cannot feel, all is lost and my footing isn’t near, please lord give me hope give me the will to press on. Give me your breath…

Gabriel stretched out with his feet and pulled in to kick, his last breath being used as a weapon a weapon embodied with hope and fear. His abs flexed inward and kicked hard into someone’s face he couldn’t be too sure but they were fiery and forceful his last strike he’d manage till his vision went black.

[Matrim Gallagher]

Matrim felt a kick connect with his face and he threw that left arm forward finally letting go, aiming to throw the kid down so he would land on his head and be done with for the fight. This would leave Matrim a bit off balance because of the kick, not to mention of course the locker door hitting his left leg, it pushed his left leg inward and he was thrown off balance, falling hard on his left side. He was now free to attack this other kid, and he did so immediately.

Being low to the ground Matrim threw his right fist at the kids right knee cap, his fist was still on fire but he was just looking to do some more damage to the kid. Matrim would then plant his left hand on the ground, pushing up with it he would be on his left hand and left foot, his right leg would shoot up aiming to kick just to the back and the outside of the kids left knee. Hitting one backwards and one forwards. Matrim would then, if able, roll away from the kid and push himself up to a standing position, getting on guard for what would most likely be an oncoming attack after he recovered from those hits. (assuming they landed of course)

[Linda Osako]

Touch a pain, hands aflame, Matrim was in a difficult spot. Two opponents, well one seemed like he was down for the count, but how much more fight could the pillar really muster?

Fighting was strictly forbidden on campus, well exceptions would be if it included a pillar trying to stop something... Meh fuck it.

At full speed Linda would come charging at Aureus, from his side to add a position, (You may pick which side cause I dgaf lol). Her Qi active, Linda was known to be some sort of a battering ram when she paired her Qi with running.

OoC-Short and sweat. >.>

[Aureus]

The Varsity Captain had finally thrown the boy to the side after suffering a kick to the head. Hopefully the student wouldn't be hurt too badly, but if he was it'd be just another lesson. It was the price you paid for your ideals, fun, masochism, or whatever it was that brought you to fight. There was a beautiful agony that came with taking your lumps and surviving. Maybe you didn't want to live, but you wouldn't be bored. That was probably the worst fate, at least in Aureus' mind. Being so alone or complacent that you never involved yourself in the goings on of the world. It was a flawed place, but it was ours. You might as well live your life while you have it.

The locker door had hit Matrim's leg, bringing him to the ground, equal to Aureus. Right after, he returned fire with a punch to the schizo's right knee cap. Damn that smarts... the dull eyed boy though as he felt his knee ache. Moving would be a bit harder now. Through wincing eyes, he noticed the Pillar shift his weight to his left side meaning another attack would be coming and probably to his vulnerable legs. To prevent this, Aureus would pull the metal slab in front of his knees. Next, he'd use it to help him stand.

Matrim had rolled away and would probably be open for an attack. Before the Senior could act, he heard the stampede of someone closing in. Glancing to his right, Aureus caught sight of a girl running right at him. He didn't know who she was for sure, but if she was helping Matrim she could be the School Captain. That didn't bode well for him, but he'd take it in stride. Pulling up the locker to protect him, if only a little, the boy would brace himself before the girl slammed into him, sending him flying down the hallway.

Due to the impact, his right shoulder had been knocked out of wack. A few attempts to his arm around confirmed this. Chances are he wouldn't be able to get up before one of his two opponents were ontop of him.

[Gabriel Seran]

Gabriel hit the floor rasping out for a much needed gasp of air, it pained him as the fresh air burnt his lungs with steaming succession. He was going to need to sit out for a bit but the air had made a huge difference. Little would it matter however the school captain made her appearance. Gabriel had to grin in between gasps for air. Bout time she’d done some actual work around her only one he’d seen actually works for his title was the varsity captain.

It didn’t matter too much because she charged with a Qi charged rampage pile driving Gabriel along with the other two he’d been fighting with. In a second he blacked out not recalling how the rest was to end up. Pain rippled up his body reminding him of the years behind those bars, beaten and whipped though this wasn’t as bad, he’d survive this, he didn’t survive the torture however.

[Matrim Gallagher]

Matrim's hands still aflame he came up onto his feet just as Linda took out Aureus. Matrim took off towards his opponent, he would come down on the fallen man with his knees pinning down his upper arms, his left fist would be pushing down on the center of the guys chest if he managed to do this in time, if the locker door was a factor his right hand would grab it and get it out of the way, or attempt to as soon as possible.

Thanks for showing up Linda......

Matrim's right fist would pull back and he would begin pummeling Aureus in the face, his hands still on fire, unless Aureus did something to stop this, block, dodge, counter you name it. Matrim was going to punch him with his right fist repeatedly, all the while pushing down on his chest, aiming to burn a mark into it. It was a strange desire within Matrim. He had marked someone once before, Sara Quinn, during their Qi training. It was a mark that Matrim had attempted to kill her, and in his frenzy Matrim was pulling out all the stops. He wasn't showing mercy to this Aureus kid. Thus, he would try and mark him as well.

[Linda Osako]

OoC- As always, I would like to apologize for my late posting. Hope I didn't hold you guys up too much <3

IC-

Linda had hit her target square on, but he had cleverly dampened the blow of the collision by shielding himself with a locker, smart. Linda's shoulder connected with it, sending Aureus in flight down the hall, but the collision with something metal definitely didn't feel good on Linda's shoulder. She dropped her Qi, and sighed, rubbing it.

"Fuck that hurt!" She blurted out as she continued to rub her shoulder.

She looked over for her fellow pillar, but he wasn't there anymore. Linda looked down the hall to find him already on top of the boy she had just sent down there.

"MATRIM!" Linda yelled, noticing that his fists were still ignited. She knew just where he was going with this... He was at that fine line. The one that separates power and madness, it appeared to her that he was about to cross it.

"Don't take it too far, he is already downed. You won't be proving anything if you stay on someone that has clearly lost!" She hoped he would hear her threw his lust for combat... Maybe it wasn't too late.

[Aureus]

He had been right. Matrim was anxious to beat his face in and had pinned his upper arms with his knees. That didn't help Aureus' shoulder much, but it was nice to finally be taking some damage. The hand burning into his chest sent waves of sharp pain through his body. Oi, that'll be a gnarly scar, eh brother?Levi laughed, already planning how he'd tell the story later. The punches were a tad less enjoyable though, but it was better than nothing. What really got him was the School Captain's shouts from down the hall. Aureus couldn't hold back a burst of manic laughter. All this emotion over nothing, it was ridiculous, especially the part about him having lost. Oh no, it wasn't over quite yet.

After he had settled down, Aureus would wait for the brief moment between punches to grab whatever part of the boy's legs he could reach with his gloves ignited and spit right into the Varsity Captain's face. If, like most people, his natural reaction was to lean back and away, the Senior would throw up his legs and lock them around Matrim's neck before slamming his head down into the linoleum. Oh, the fun of concussions!

[Matrim Gallagher]

The kid had a manic laughter, and a flash of Marquise came to mind. It was much the same as then, when Matrim had him beaten down, he laughed at Matrim before shape shifting into Reira. He began to continue the onslaught. Even as the kid spat and grabbed Matrim's legs he continued to put weight on the guys chest. Only now he wanted to go for the kill, not the destruction or beating. So he put his hand that was punching over the kids mouth, and would pinch his nose shut, all the while his hand still aflame.

Matrim's legs were being scorched, the pain in his thigh muscles growing, but he knew that if he could just knock the kid out that his arms would go limp. Still, Matrim was smiling, eyes alive in manic as he did this, laughing, tuning out the noises of the School Captain, but instead remembering the feeling of being trapped in a safety room, an army of soldiers outside the doors finding ways to blast through it, and Marquise, the sociopath killer, killing people on the inside all the while.

Matrim had gone bye bye.
