Rematch! (Kate)

[Matrim Gallagher]

Matrim texted Kate, giving her the information on the time and place. The beach, at high noon. Yeah it seemed so Cliche to do something at high noon, but the fact was Matrim got lucky in their last fight. He wouldn't be getting lucky in this one, not by a long shot. So he was at the beach, struggling to text with his right arm over his left, he wished he had a flip phone that you could text one handed with instead of the kind that had a keypad for texting. But such wasn't the case, forcing him to pull both arms outward to text.

Kate, 12pm, the beach, be ready for a fight.

Matrim.

And then he waited. He wasn't wearing anything other then a pair of jean shorts, not short shorts, but longer ones, that went past the knee a bit. It was probably the only time he had ever worn shorts, but he wasn't used to this hot weather. He was used to Alaska, and while it wasn't the hottest day for a california citizen, it was scorching for Matrim.

"Damn these casts... I need those water guards so I can get into the water... even though it's too quote on quote, dangerous to swim here....."

[Kate]

She had gotten the text, and had been a bit bewildered. Matrim wanted to fight? She had just seen him the other day... and he was... still injured right?!?! The blonde still dressed for a fight on the beach. Flats for once, some yoga pants and a tank top. It was nice and warm outside, sunny beyond belief. So she had put on some sun block before leaving her house.

The blonde showed up at the beach and sighed at the sight of him. Those emerald eyes locked onto her friend in his casts. This was really going to be an interesting fight. She trotted down to where he was, a wiry sort of smirk on her full lips.

"So what's up Matrim. Fighting? Really? I mean, I know you normally kick my ass and all.. but I'm not sure I can take a swing at you like that..."

Kate chuckled and looked at him plainly. Wondering just what was going through his mind to pull a crazy stunt like this.

[Matrim Gallagher]

"So what's up Matrim. Fighting? Really? I mean, I know you normally kick my ass and all.. but I'm not sure I can take a swing at you like that..."

"Just don't break any part of my legs and we're kosher," He said, turning his head both ways till it let out a crack. Most people used their hands for this, but Matrim wasn't able to do that right now, "But I want a rematch, and I won't be one of those types who make excuses for fights with injuries. If I lose, I lost because of my lack of ability to beat you, and I can't blame it on this weakness."

He walked over to her, getting ready, "Anything aside from no breaking of things below the waistline would be appreciative. After all, I have to be able to play soccer. If you can avoid doing so at least... fair enough?" He asked, getting ready, his right foot in front, his left foot in back he would be standing sideways with his right side facing her, "Go ahead and start when you're ready."

Time to see if my kickboxing is as good as it used to be....

[Kate]

Kate let out a long sigh. While he spoke she had held it in, wondering why the hell this was going on. Fine, if Matrim wanted a fight, then that's what he would get. And she would be nice and not break anything below the waist. His ribs and face were completely kosher, as well as everything else above the waist. Matrim would be using his legs, which she was ready for.

"Agreed then."

Kate the kick boxer, dur?

She looked at him simply, and charged forward. Just because both of his arms were broken didn't mean she would let him attack first. Kate started with kicks though, fast and powerful. At least for her. Her right leg trying to kick him in the ribs hard.

[Matrim Gallagher]

The kick to his ribs connected, and he pushed against his left leg, in hopes that the push against the bottom of her foot might throw her off balance. Matrim would follow this up by switching, pivoting on his right foot and sending his left foot around to try and kick her cross the waistline. If she was falling backward it would be a mystery to him as to where it would land, but one thing was for certain, she could kick good. Which meant he was going to have to kick better.

"Not gonna box me a little? Go for the broken arms?" He asked. He was giving her ideas. The funny thing about it was, worst case scenario if he really wanted to he could use his Qi. It's just that it would do him almost no good unless he really wanted to set back his recovery time. He wouldn't though, not for Kate. Not for someone he knew he could lose to and be alright with it. Sure he had won every time so far, but it was all always a close one, and he was still unsure as to what her Qi was.

After the kick, if it hadn't been caught for some reason he would lower the leg to the ground, getting ready to defend with the leg. Something that was hard for some people to do.

[Kate]

"I wouldn't make things worse Matrim. Where's the fun in that?"

He took her kick, and she took his. A grunt, he could still kick well for someone who had casts and stuff. Kate grinned, her hand had shot out and grabbed his leg where it was, pinning it to her body. Her right leg shot out, up and high. What was she going for?

It was called a "golden kick". A one hit wonder that went straight for the neck. It took a ton of flexibility and strength to do it, and Kate could.

She was aiming it right at the base of his neck. Unless he threw a broken arm in the path of the extremely strong leg, it would slam into his neck. With a huge amount of force. Maybe even knock him out at the start of this so he wouldn't hurt himself. That would be a good thing.

[Matrim Gallagher]

The kick came and Matrim dodged it by pulling backwards, making sure to move his head as far to the right as he could to avoid getting hit at all, bending his righ leg at the knee to lower him a bit. What she didn't know is that Matrim knew that move all too well. It was also a move used in wrestling, Shawn Michael's Super Kick. Also known as sweet chin music when you went for the chin vs the neck. Matrim would lift up again on his right leg pulling on the left leg she had grabbed onto to pull himself forward, and possibly even pull her towards him at the same time.

He would pull hard enough to send him crashing towards her, aiming a devastating head butt, one with a lot of swing momentum. Matrim would do this in hopes it would disorient her, and possibly even get her to let go of his leg. If she didn't let go of his leg he would push off of his right foot, plant his shoulder against her, and attempt to push her down in a way that would end with his left leg on the floor should she hold onto it.

[Kate]

OH SHIT! He was flying at her. Kate did the first thing she thought of. She had let go of his leg completely and her right hand shot forward, attacking back straight at him. The heel of her hand heading for his forehead, like trying to deflect his attack with her hand alone. She was a decently tough girl, but yeah... this was a bit silly.

The girl would also move out of the way in case he continued to fall, she wouldn't be within range. She dodged to her right, his left. She twisted her body. If he fell, she slam a foot into the small of his back and try to pin him there with it. If he somehow managed to stand, she lifted her leg, and tried to slam a knee into the small of his back to try and make him fall over. Then she'd go for a foot in the same spot and pin him.

[Matrim Gallagher]

When she let go of his leg he would plant it downward. He would be low to the ground, the hit to the head was a good one, but he was expecting to hit something hard. Even if it happened to be a hand, stopping his headbutt momentum. She left his range, retreating a bit, but he didn't fall. He would instead push off his right foot after he was steadied, turning his body so that he was facing her, he would step off of his left foot, and then he would push off his right one last time, sending his left shoulder towards her chest.

It was a charge with the lack of hands to wrap up, but if it hit her it might send her backward quite a bit. If she dodged the attack he would throw his left foot out and press down on the sand to halt his charge, turning his head and body to the right to look for her.

Come on Kate.......

[Kate]

She was trying not to hurt him too bad. And he was beginning to make her want to hurt him. Smack him around a bit or something. Kate dodged, just as he had really. They were standing apart in the sand... wondering how the hell to do this... She really didn't want to hurt him too much, to be honest.

FINE. They'd do this the hard way... Kate charged at him, coming within striking distance. She threw a fake jab at his face, followed by throwing an upper up toward his jaw. She wanted him to react, because if they became pinned together in the sand, she could null and void his legs and just wail on him til he gave up. Hopefully.

[Matrim Gallagher]

The fake jab caused him to instinctively raise his already broken arms, but it was a fake jab, and then an uppercut came, crashing into his left arms cast, which was the bottom one. The momentum hit his arms up a bit higher, but it wasn't enough to knock Matrim back. So he quickly brought his arms down, bringing his right knee up to hit her in her left side, not quite in the ribs. Then once again he would send his head crashing forward for a headbutt. He was prepared to fight this fight however he could, and if one of his casts was fully broken, he would end up using that arm in the fight.

He sincerely hoped he could avoid that though. Especially since he needed to recover quickly, he knew that this fight was going to get painful for him though. But he still wanted the win, even if he could accept loss, he wanted that damn win.

[Kate]

Her fist hit the cast, which scraped her knuckles a bit. That would sting for awhile. But Kate was close, and that's where she wanted to stay. He came in for another headbutt, so Kate treated this one much like the last. However, instead of just shooting her hand up and smacking into his head, she lifted her hand and punched upward, into his chin. Hopefully rattling his brain some.

And she didn't stop there either. Kate would continue forward, surging ahead. She basically lunged forward, slamming her right shoulder into his torso. Trying to make him very unbalanced, trying to get him to tip backward into the sand. She would then basically jump on him, straddling his waist so that his legs wouldn't be much use. Lean forward, and wailing on his face, slamming fist after fist into it until he cried uncle.

And she really would stop the moment he gave in.

[Matrim Gallagher]

(OOC: Kate says knee hit, since she's lazy I'm RP'ing as such so don't totally tacklerape my face for assuming the hit took place.)

The punching was to be expected, but since he was utilizing his head as a weapon it wasn't like he was in the dodging motion so it hit, and hurt. But then she did something else, she drover her shoulder forward into him, not hitting his torso like she had planned, but hitting his casted arms. After all, they were positioned in front of his torso the way they were crossed in their mummified position slings. Which stung like hell because his arms were broken after all.

Matrims right foot he had used to knee her earlier came down and slid back, so that when she jumped on him he wouldn't fall backwards. His arms crossed in front of his chest were feeling great pains at their breaking points now, the pain was getting pretty serious, and he knew it'd only get worse with this next move. He would pull his left foot back, making his body weight completely shifted forward, with her holding onto him from his front. He would come crashing down on her, and he would throw his head forward as he did so in a third attempt to headbutt her.

Third times the charm?

The trouble with this of course being that while it would be a devastating and difficult move to get out of considering she basically gave Mat her entire body to work with, it also meant that Matrim's weight would not only crash down on her, but on his broken arms with her on the other side. Meaning more pain for his arms, at the cost of hurting her. And the honest truth was, he hadn't really thought of that. Not until he was already falling forward.

[Kate]

Kate got smacked hard by his head on the bridge of her nose. It hurt like hell, but thankfully didn't break. The blonde would have hated it to break. Really, icky stuff on a girl's face. Could be kinda cute on a guy, but really icky on a girl's face. Kate went down, hard. At least they were on sand instead of a tiled floor or something.

Kate grinned up at Matrim, keeping some sexual jokes from their current positions. But she was trying really hard to bite back those flirty little tid bits. Why? Because that was just Kate.

However, his arms were beside her head, and his legs were pretty much out of order. Or at least, would be as Kate tangled her legs with his. Then her arms went to work. She threw a fist at his face, again. Straight toward an eye. Black eye anyone?

[Matrim Gallagher]

Matrim's arms still being crushed from his own weight since they were between Kate and Mat, He was in a bit of pain. but he knew what he could do like this. He had Kate pinned where she was, and she just punched him in the eye. He didn't move instead he tightened his fists, his arms still in there slings in between them. This was going to hurt both of them at first, but then it would hurt her a whole lot more.

Matrim kept still, not moving, he knew how it worked now, and as he smiled he thought of how painful this would be. It only sucked that his arms were so messed up, but he reckoned that they could at least contribute a little since they were already in a great deal of pain. Might as well go for broke, right?

So he gritted his teeth, tightened his fists and stayed where he was, she would probably get to wail on him, but that was necessary in order for what he was about to do, and if he did this right, it would probably end with a win on his part. Such a shame for her really too, because she had no idea he was capable of this.
