ROUND TWO [Travis]

[Kate]

A new town, a new life (not really), a new wardrobe, and yet the same car. All fixed up from every it had gone through, the Mustang was running like it was brand spanking new, fresh coat of paint and everything. Still the blackest of black layered on, with a fresh minty swipe of green on the sides. Other than that, it was still the same baby she had gotten for her birthday forever ago. It seemed like forever ago at least.

Kate pulled into the parking lot of the new school, music blasting as loud as possible. She Wants Revenge was the band that was playing, screaming out her speakers. Singing about tearing people apart and all that jazz. The blonde had her hair in a ponytail, and was wearing something that reminded her of the old days. Bright green tank top with a raunchy looking print of lips on the front, tight dark blue jeans, black suspenders, and black high heels. Lots of bracelets and the like, but it was almost something she would have worn in her younger high school days.

The blonde opened her door, and lightly tapped something on the other side. She looked up to find a man on a motorcycle....

[Travis]

Travis turned the key and pulled himself from the bike, his left hand lift and running through that orange-ish hair of his. He'd adjust that black leather bandanna and the goggles would be removed from his eyes, and rest on the top of his head. It was when he glanced to his left that he noticed a familiar car, and the female that owned it. He recalled the last time he saw her almost immediately. He had accidentally shattered her car window, and from there her car would only end up getting even more damaged.

"Well, well.. I see you fixed your ride. Heh."

Travis would shake his head slightly, that cocky grin ever present. He didn't believe he had much else to say to her apart from that. He wasn't going to apologize for something he had attempted to apologize about when the window broke. It was her own damn fault that she had pushed things farther. Those eyes would reset in front of him, upon the school building ahead, and he'd begin walking toward it. Yes, Travis was completely ignoring her for the moment. She really wasn't all that much of a threat in his eyes. But who knew, maybe she'd try make him apologize or something. It would be an interesting way to start off the day.

[Kate]

It was the same person as before. Same motorcycle, same face, and all that jazz. She just stared at him for a moment, not sure what was going on. Deja vu or something?!?!? He stared walking off, and Kate couldn't help but grin almost ear to ear. She had made herself a sort of promise when she had passed out from their first fight. She wanted to fight him again.

So Kate pretty much launched herself out of her Mustang. Her fingers smacked the lock button on her keys, hearing her horn acknowledge locking. She ran, so she caught up to him. However the girl wasn't throwing things at him this time around. Instead, she was grinning.

"I want to fight you again."

It was a simple statement, with those emerald eyes were sparkling. And it was true, Kate McHallin wanted another fight with the man who had kicked her ass so thoroughly at 259. Why was she asking for another ass kicking? Because she wanted to be stronger.

[Travis]

I want to fight you again.

Travis would stop in his tracks, his left glancing over his left shoulder back toward the girl, that grin of his on his face. He'd shake his head as he looked upon the blonde female before him. He wasn't quite sure why this girl wanted to fight him again, maybe she was stupid. Or just the stubborn kind that always has to have their revenge. His right hand would lift to the side of his head and he'd itch it for a moment, before he brought it back down to his side. He wouldn't turn to face her or anything like that. Instead he'd keep looking over his shoulder and wave her on with his left arm.

"If you really want it.. Come get it."

He was ready of course. Travis was simply waiting, watching her with those icy blue orbs of his. Nothing else needed to be said, and his body was laxed. Patiently waiting for the girl to come forward with whatever she wanted. Just because his back was still turned to her, didn't mean he was incapable of defending himself.

[Kate]

The girl stood there, about a foot behind him. He didn't move, and only said one thing. Kate wasn't stupid, nor did she want revenge. It was something along the lines of iron sharpens iron and all that jazz. He was stronger than her, so by fighting him... by pushing herself against a more powerful force, she was going to forge herself something new... and probably a few matching bruises to go along with it. But she'd live with that fact.

Alright then, if he was just going to stand there... which he probably wasn't just standing there... but yeah, she'd make the first move!!! Kate wasn't exactly sure on what though, so she'd just go for something a little blunt and plain. Because well... other than this guy being faster, tougher, and stronger... she wasn't sure what to exactly use on him.

So she charged, aiming an elbow for the base of his neck. A good placed blow would probably be enough to knock out your average person... so maybe it would hurt him, just a little bit.

[Travis]

Kate took the bait, and pressed forward toward Travis. This is exactly what he had wanted when he spoke, to get the girl to come in and act against him, so that he could work out his own attack against her. Now he may have been facing the opposite way, but his eyes were locked upon the girl over his left shoulder. His left side would move counter-clockwise as that left arm would snap up and around, his forearm looking to collide with the girl's elbow and knock it off course. And as he continued to move counter-clockwise his body would face her, and his right hand would snap out and aim to hook and slam against Kate's side in once fluent motion.

It wasn't very demanding on his own body, nor would it take up much energy at all. He restricted his own body movements, and allowed the girl to come to him so that he could counter in a manner that he liked. If all went well, Travis would simply wait to see what happened before he decided to make his next move. If things went the way they went last time, Travis would surely have plenty of fun. Though it probably wouldn't last too much longer then it had before. Ah well. Good start to a new day.

[Kate]

It had been a decently short fight the first time around, and Kate knew that it would be the second time as well. She felt her arm being knocked out of the way, and felt the second blow to her side. That one hurt! Bruising, happening already. Sweet mother of Mary!! This guy hit like a MAC truck or something!!! Kate's full lips pulled back, and grunted in pain.

One of her hands had shot down and grasped his wrist as tight as she could. Now while Kate wasn't nearly as strong as him, she wasn't a pansy either. She kept (or tried to keep) his arm close to her. Her other hand flew out and feinted toward his face. The real attack?

A knee to the damned balls. That's right, Kate played dirty. It didn't matter what you did in a fight. It didn't matter how you won, just in the fact that you won. Or learned from it, in Kate's books. Who had she learned that from again? Oh yeah... Xaier. That's right...

[Travis]

Travis' attack landed, slamming against the girl's side with a nice hard strike. She dropped her hand and gripped his arm. He probably could have easily ripped his arm away if he wanted, but that wasn't his intent. Instead, Travis would let the girl play out. Her knee would lift and it would slam between Travis' legs. The funny thing? Travis actually did have a cup on, and the girl would feel it. It did good to absorb a good bit of that damage that the girl had dealt to him. But it wouldn't put him down, Instead, Travis would use the girl's lack of balance against her now.

His body would shift forward as he'd aim to throw his body forward as his thighs would attempt to tighten against the girl's kicking leg and trapped it there. Thus if it worked, Travis' right shoulder would slam against the girl and more then likely he'd bring her to the ground, and he'd land on top of her. His legs would scrunch up slightly and he'd aim to sit upon the girl's pelvis and squeeze his legs, applying pressure with his hips to keep her in place. A perfectly good mount would come from his sacrifice. This would help to stop the girl from kicking him from behind. Travis would posture up and drop two quick punches, a left followed by a right.

[Kate]

HE WORE A CUP? CHEATING BASTARD!!!! Never mind the fact that she had been striking him in the balls in the first place. She went down, and pretty damned hard. He was sitting on top of her, leg trapped within the confines of his thighs. He launched punches straight at her, and Kate threw up her own arms in defense. Took the punches on her forearms, and winced at the pain.

He had one leg trapped, not the other. And thanks to her Qi, she could move just a bit more than the average bear-- human. Kate's other leg twisted, her joints moving out of place as she went. She was already a flexible person, and this just helped. She threw her leg up by where her head was, and launched her foot into his chest. Or tried to. It was a bit of a strain on her leg, to be sure, and she was going to be sore as hell, but she pressed her arms into the ground and SHOVED with everything she had. Maybe he'd get off.

[Travis]

The girl's leg would bend nearly all the way toward her head, and Travis would raise his right eye brow a bit as he rested on the girl for a moment. She was extremely flexible, it seemed so anyways. And when the girl's leg came forward, Travis would get hit. He'd feel himself forced up and away, and instead of fighting it like he probably could have, Travis would allow himself to be pushed off. But the girl wouldn't have too much time before he crashed her little party.

Kate pushed Travis up and away, and pushed off with his legs to kick himself up into a standing position. His right hand would snap out and grab the leg she used to force him away. If Travis managed to grab it, what he would do was simple. He'd snap his body to the leg, and aim to jerk the girl around and whip her across the parking lot toward her own car once again. If the throw was successful, Travis would follow her, and if she hit the car as he had planned, his left side would aim to shoot out and crash against the girl's body, and pin her against the metal of that Mustang.

[Kate]

A ton of things happened, one after another. The blonde was sure there was going to be a ton of pain after all this was said and done. She was flung, and landed not in her car, but rather the car next to hers. Just a tad off, into some silly barely painted somewhat green sedan. They bent the frame, and the guy had her pinned into the frame. She was visibly wincing, not liking this situation... but let's be real about it right? Kate didn't think that she'd be doing much from this point...

"SHIT!!! Man...," Kate's hands were up trying to shove and force him off somehow. It wasn't going to work though, he was too damned strong... Time to admit defeat? Probably the wisest thing to do.... but not the thing that Kate was really prone to. However she didn't... there was no way of getting out of this...

"Fuck.... how the hell are you so strong?!?!"

The last bit was said as she tried to slam a fist somewhere, anywhere really.

[Travis]

His aim was slightly off, but in the end it didn't matter, because she still connected with a vehicle, and Travis still slammed her even harder into it. It was clear she was confused by the strength he held, a lot of people were stunned by in fact. Travis was even able to pick up and whip around the Giant known as Katsuri back before he had left 259. On top of the strength he possessed, was admirable skill in fighting. He knew how to work his angles, and pick people apart. He was always confident in his ability to handle others easily.

SHIT!!! Man... Fuck.... how the hell are you so strong?!?!

All Travis did was laugh when she said that. And then he felt her fist slam against his face. He had let himself get distracted, and the girl had hit him right in the nose. He'd step backwards and away from the girl and the sedan he had knocked her into, his left hand lifting his reddened nose as dragged his left nose for a moment. There was blood, but it wasn't that big of a deal. He doubted it was broken. He would glance toward the girl, and toss her another wink. He was still in the game, and he might even step it up a notch now.

"I ate'd my spinnich.."

Instead of waiting for her to attack, Travis would take the offense this time, as he rushed toward the girl. He had a plan, and he was going to take a chance to pull it off. He doubted the girl would be able to put him into too bad of a position if it happened to miss, so it was worth a shot. His right side would pull back slightly and that right arm would half-cock as if he was preparing to throw it. Instead though, his left foot would plant and Travis would snap his right leg out and sweep it across from right to left. The catch? Travis had purposely aimed to place the kick a few inches from the girl's body, so that it would look like he accidentally misjudged his range. He'd even swear out to make it seem legit, but it was the set up.

As soon as his right leg would pass in front of the girl, Travis would pivot on his left leg, and twist his hips, turn his shoulder and place his right foot back onto the ground, as his left leg would whip around and Travis would aim to slam his left calf against Kate's left side, after a short spin. The kick would be strong, and the spin would have been quick due to the fact that he used the momentum from his first little fake kick to bring him around faster.

[Kate]

He what? Ate his spinach? Was this guy for real? Kate was about to burst out into laughter, when all of a sudden he launched himself forward. He started to kick, and Kate reacted. That's right, she reacted to the first kick, even if it was off. He wasn't that much faster than her, so it really wasn't hard to do such a thing.

Kate rose to one knee, lunging forward a bit. She wasn't going to give him a chance to whip that other leg around. Her right arm would shoot up, and her hand would smack into the bend of his knee. Snapping it upward. From there, Kate would stand, taking the leg with her to keep him off balance. So unless he was really flexible, it'd be really uncomfortable.

From there she'd launch her other fist into his ribs, trying to hurt him somehow, someway. She wasn't gunna punch him in the cup again... as that hadn't worked the first time.

[Travis]

Do to the fact that Travis' leg was thrown in a sweeping fashion, when Kate's hand lifted to do whatever it was she planned to do, the most she would do was connect with the left side of Travis' knee. And do to the fact that it was still moving, and the strength he had behind the kick, he didn't believe she'd be able to grip it so easily. But the girl had come into his range with that she did.

His left would pivot slightly, as his kicking leg would bend at the knee, and retract suddenly. It would then shoot forward and Travis would lunge toward Kate with the kick. He had switched it up in a mannor that some would have seen with Tai Kwon Do, though he didn't know the style, he had learned how to do stuff like this simply by watching. And now his right leg would be rocketing toward Kate's midsection with his weight behind it.

[Kate]

It was about time for this fight to be over, because Kate's body wasn't going to take much more damage and survive well. Her hands shot up as his kick came at her mid-section. Her hands closing around his foot. Her wrists twisted, taking most of the impact of the blow. But it still hit her in the gut. Kate let go and sprawled on the ground. If she could wave a white flag, she would. Game over man, just game over.

"UNCLE!! FUCKING UNCLE YOU TANK!!!"

Was she laughing? Yes, yes Kate was. The blonde was laughing, because she had found someone fun to fight. Someone who could kick her ass... and make her tougher. There weren't too many of those running around the campus... Mathew, Linda, Damien probably... Matrim did. But Kate hadn't fought Mathew, Linda or Damien, because they were good friends... and not fighting buddies. But here, this guy? Yeah, he was cool.

"My name is Kate. What's yours?"
