"Uh, I didn't do anything special. I said some less than flattering things, she wanted my ass beaten because of it, but it didn't go exactly the way she wanted, and she hit me in the face afterward. Then I brought in a lot of people to attest to the fact that I'm not an inhumane monster and we started hanging out."

"Sounds like alotta trouble to go through for some chick" the first guy says.
"Yeah" comments the second "and here I thought the only competition for her was that Hikaru kid. Guess the grade's a little tougher to make".

Sohma shakes his head "Whatever guys. She's really a cool person, hanging out with her is worth all the 'trouble' it was." Sohma uses the finger quotes along with vocal suggestion when he says "trouble"

As the guys nod and one prepares some kind of retort the doors at the end of the room burst open. Everyone turns together towards a small wiry guy in black/red shorts and hand wraps enters the room. He's smaller than most in the room but that doesn't seem to stem the flow of deathly confidence that Sohma can feel radiating from this black haired young man.
The leader of the club steps up before anyone else.
"Long time no see Angaraka" he says with a nod. "Thought the school had you and your buddies on a bit of a lock down these days"
"Yeah. Thought I'd listen to them, at least until I heard you guys have a new kickboxer walking around" he replies looking straight at Sohma. From the look in his eyes, the way he stands and acts, there is no mistake. This is Angraka Komai : Muay Thai practitioner for the Living Legends.

"Ha ha ha! Not so confident? I thought you were a real brutal one...though maybe you're not there yet. Maybe you need some help" Angraka says with a devilish grin. He slowly begins to walk towards Sohma with his arms down but out of his pockets. The head of the fight club cuts him off at the path.
"Now you know the rules" he says looking Angraka straight in the eyes "You don't come here to preach, practice, or get any of that mind game crap going on. You come here you come here to fight".
"Since when can you start telling me what to do Kei'chi?" Angraka says tilting his head to one side, eyebrow raised.
"Since the minute you walked in here" he replies.
The group is deadly quite. It's the first time Sohma's ever heard the leader's name used. Sohma's seen him fight before and he's pretty good, downright beastly. However it's still questionable weather or not he could stand against a Living Legend. Given their acclaim and what Sohma's seen first hand.

Sohma stands back and watches, paying close attention to Angkara.

The two continue to look each other dead on in the eyes. Angkara with an expression of playful curiosity, Kei'chi with a look of stone cold severity. Another moment or two passes before Kei'chi jerks a thumb towards the loose circle of people.
"Get in there or leave" he says.
"Okay" Angraka smirks.
This next part happens in close to an instant. Due to the motions being familiar to him and seeing his master at work a couple of times Sohma is able to follow this particular string of events. Right as Angraka smiles he leaps into a flying knee. Despite the close quarters he is able to leap into Kei'chi with such force that it throws him back into the loose circle.
Kei'chi was just barely quick enough to put up his arms so as the two slide back the knee isn't digging into his sternum directly. However as soon as they reach the circle Angraka steps up onto Kei'chi's bent legs, huddles in close and delivers a sharp elbow to the back of his head before he can move to counter. Kei'chi rocks back and forth as Angraka steps off of him, cracking him upside the head with two elbows on his way down. Each blow produces an audible cracking sound like a walnut surrounded by soft chewing gum.
Once at a proper distance Angraka lowers his hands and tilts his head to the side.
"You're still just a big lug aren't you Kei'chi" he chuckles.
"Old habits hard to break" replies a still reeling, now bleeding from the head fight club leader. Much to Angraka's surprise. "You done?"
"I dunno..." he trails off. "Am I done?"

'Well I'm done watching' Sohma thinks he moves in slowly as if he were just another spectator then when Angraka is in range Somha uses his second technique, The Flying Knee!

Post by blacktothefuture on Dec 29, 2010 17:52:52 GMT -5
Sohma closes in and attacks with a flying knee! As he flies through the air Angraka turns towards him and thrusts his leg out leading with the ball of his foot. It collides with Sohma's collarbone which pushes him backwards and sends him slamming into the ground.
"A bit on the slow side" Angraka murmurs "but nothing severity can't handle" he grins with wide eyes.
As Angraka puts his hands up however he is grabbed from behind by Kei'chi in what appears to be a German suplex! "I know two on one is a little unorthadox'' he growls "but for you I'll make an exception!" Bending over backwards Kei'chi sends Angraka head first into the floor, Angraka knocking the back of his head into Kei'chi's nose as he goes. After the final slam the two separate, fight club leader beside Sohma. Both facing Angraka.
"Well well, maybe I'm not done after all" Angraka clucks putting his arms back up.

"Hey Kei'chi, the rules are out the window for this fight right?" Sohma asks as he assumes his fighting stance.

"All the ones you'd be worried about" he replies. "I can work at tying him up or taking away from his mobility if you've got something that'd go well with that. If not we can just pound at him a while"
"Oooh" Angraka cocks his brow "I'd like to see that".
From the crowd now comes a swell of noise. An odd mixture of encouragement and howls for a fight. Somehow the perfect atmosphere for such an intense confrontation, like it was taken right out of a movie.

Sohma nods at Kei'chi, and slips out his Nunchaku hopefully without Angraka seeing.

Kei'chi rushes up to Angraka and reaches out to grab his left arm and his right shoulder. Angraka knocks the burly arms of Kei'chi aside with an outward circular sweep of his own arms before leaping straight upwards with a knee hitting Kei'chi right in the chin. This notably rattles and stuns Kei'chi.
While this is going on Sohma has a chance to make an attack of his own.

I'll go with Technique #4 the flying reverse kick.

Post by blacktothefuture on Jan 3, 2011 15:43:40 GMT -5
Sohma launches himself through the air turning into a back kick as he flies. His target being Angraka, just having ducked out from behind Kei'chi to pursue his other opponent. He sees Sohma coming in and swings his right leg out in the form of a roundhouse kick in an attempt to knock him out of the air.
The kick connects, Sohma feels his foot dig into Angraka as he goes. Angraka's shin comes into contact with Sohma's shoulder which forces a shakier landing than he wished, though his training with the Parkour group ensures it is far from a crash landing. Sohma has only just reaffirmed his balance when Angraka tries a low kick aimed to pop Sohma's knee backwards. Due to his diligent training in other fields Sohma has reaction OR a chance to intercept this.

Could I try a Jeet Kune Dodge?

Post by blacktothefuture on Jan 4, 2011 12:47:30 GMT -5
That's more or less what I was referring to. Due to that special training you did for your nanchaku you have that trait that gives you extra chances to intercept or react/dodge.
Got a specific method of dodging in mind?

Post by Scott Pilgrim on Jan 5, 2011 0:21:53 GMT -5
Ok, this is a long shot but will look so cool if I can pull it off. I'm going to combine a Parkour back flip with a Muay Thai flying knee.

Perhaps drawing inspiration from seeing the knee used at a more severe angle by Angraka Sohma fires a knee, behind it his momentum from an already dodged kick. The movement looks rather spectacular and Sohma himself is more than a little surprised to feel his knee catch Angraka's chin as he leaps over!
"Nice!" Angraka hisses while rubbing his chin "It's gonna be hard to top that one".
Fight club leader slides up to Angraka's right and throws a reverse straight punch. Fist rotating as it flies it buries itself in Angraka's ribs, a loud CRACK! rings out through the halls. The unmistakable sound of breaking bones. The impact staggers Angraka momentarily.
Sohma's turn.

I'm going to assume that Angraka is a shorter guy, being a Muai Thai user, so using that fact I'm going to leap towards him to land a knee under his chin as I go for an elbow on the top of his head. With any luck (which I don't expect fighting any living legend) this will be a knock out blow.

As Sohma launches himself at his opponent Angraka moves into the blow prematurely putting Sohma off balance initially. The knee ends up digging into Angraka's chest. As this happens Angraka takes advantage of the momentary disruption to counter with a headbutt to Sohma's the sternum! Sohma is winded and waves of pain race across his chest.
Kei'chi attacks now with a swooping hammer fist. This time however Angraka pivots ever so slightly to the side avoiding the attack entirely.
"My turn" Angraka sneers. He throws a low kick that staggers Kei'chi and then grabs his head as per the next part of the technique : ramming the opponents head into your knee. However Sohma quickly notices that the technique is different in that Angraka doesn't stop with just one knee. Alternating between knees he continually slams Kei'chi's head into his knees over and over with a speed he had not displayed up to this point. A fierce determination that is somewhat frightening has his knees become a sea of blood.
Once the volley is finished he lets Kei'chi fall to the ground. More than likely dying.
"How was that? Did it look nice? I've been practicing" Angraka informs Sohma with an eager grin.

"That's taking things too far." Sohma says "Someone needs to get him out of here and to a hospital. Argraka, if it's me you want then come and get it." Sohma is ready to dash out of the room when Angraka attacks to lure him away fro Kei'chi before trying to lose him with free running.

"Ha ha ha ha ha! you say that as if we can do anything else" Angraka replies while dashing towards Sohma to close the gap an initiate an attack.
This is the point at which Sohma disengages and tries to lead Angraka away and then loose him. At first Angraka is keeping pace quite well, frighteningly well. His nimble gait keeps up with Sohma for the first half of his run!
"Is this really your plan? to run? but you've got such a brutal fight in front of you! Where are you running? why? why? WHY?!" Angraka taunts.
It is only after both of you leave the hallways and enter the outside that the gap between the two of you begins to grow. The advanced training necessary to scale and climb over objects proves to be too specific a skill set. Before long Sohma finds that he has lost his pursuer.

Sohma runs to the top of any near by building and looks around to see if Angraka is anywhere near by.

A hop, skip and a scale bring Sohma up to the roof of the theater building. He turns to look for Angraka and sees that Angraka is standing in front of the building arms crossed. His gaze directly meets Sohma.
"Now how do you expect me to fight you if you run all the way up there?" he calls.

Post by Scott Pilgrim on Jan 10, 2011 12:24:17 GMT -5
"Fire Escape" Sohma calls back, though he has no intention on being on the building by the time Angraka gets up. He's going to look to a path across roof tops and put as much distance between himself and the living legend as he can before heading home.

Angraka doesn't move from his spot. A frown growing on his face that is visible even from where Sohma stands.
"I'm getting the feeling you don't really want to fight. Is the "Death God of Muay Thai" scared and running after a little blood? not even his own?!" he calls out from his spot on the ground. Though it is supposed to be a taunt to provoke Sohma Angraka actually sounds honestly disappointed.

"True as that may be, you're a Living Legend" Sohma shouts down "And not just any Living Legend, you're the Muai Thai practitioner, you do everything I can better and know techniques I've never even dreamed of. Quite simply Argraka you're going to beat me if we fight so why should I waste either of our time? I've got over due home work I should be working on. However you're right, I am the Death God of Muai Thai, but I am tired after three back to back fights. Give me three weeks to train and rest then meet me back here on his roof top, we will fight then and I swear I wont run away."

"Ha ha ha ha! you think you can leave our engagement alive after only three weeks? as if! All this running and talk has killed my mood." he shouts, despite the laughter still sounding a bit down in the dumps. He inhales and exhales as if to relax himself before speaking again.
"In six months the school is having their end of the year tournament : The Clash of all Fists. Why not shoot for that? I'll try not to get too much stronger before then if you're willing to give way to a real blood bath" he says grinning at the last part. "So what do you say?"
