come out to play (Tiao)

[tank]

A mangled, sick and twisted high pitched scream could be heard from the roof top of Hircine.

"TIAO! come out to pl-PLAY"

------Earlier-------

I was walking. Simply walking, yet i was on a mission, a mission for information. Kvist had not got in contact with me yet. That either meant he was dead or had gotten so power hungry he had a new army, either way i did not care. I had plans of my own, things that would benefit me for the time being, and if they didn't benefit me they would still be a hell load of fun.
Turning a corner i saw a guy. He was around 5' 11, thought he was the big man, talking to a load of his buddies and a few girls. He was the centre of attention, trying to be the big man, acting as if he owned the place. What crap. A typical meat head trying to be someone he was not. He deserved what i had planned. I just needed him on his own. To get him on his own and then i was fine. Or so i thought. I spied him for a moment, watching and studying him. The way he moved and talked showed his over confident demeanour and it actually made me laugh for a moment. I was a little like that, only I had things to be confident about, and i could back them up.
I turned and eyed a little cute girl. She must of been a junior maybe the same year as my target I didn't know. But she would do. I gently tapped her on the shoulder as she walked past. She turned and all she could see was a fresh crisp 20 dollar bill waving in her face.

"I need you to do something for me"


--------15 minutes later-----------

The door to the roof would fly open. A loud crack would be heard as it did so. The sound of ribs cracking as the over confident student was thrown against it. Now I could get to work. I would get the information that I sought. The school captain, the pillars. I wanted to know who they were. I knew of the system but not the students, by beating the information from this student i could find out what exactly I was up against. But more importantly find out if i could win.

I walked after the broken student. He was crawling on the floor away from me, muttering things under his breath. I suddenly leapt on him. All of my 275 pound frame hitting his back and literally making him one with the roof.
I would then be on my knees. Each one either side of his back, my right arm would enclose around his and pull it around his back, twisting it also, threatening to snap it in half.
Another scream of pain would escape his lips as i began to ask for the information i needed.

"Ahhhh does that hurt? Don’t worry it will get worse soon" With that I give a extra hard twist on his arm.

"So I want some information ok, you answer some of my questions and I’ll let you go ok?"

He muttered some thing back with seemed to be a 'yes' or 'yea' Which ever it didn't really matter.

"Who is the school captain, and who are the pillars?"

"D-darren blayne, is the school captain, mayor bad ass, I-i wouldn't m-mess with him. The pillars. Well there is Kurtz, no one messes with Kurtz, no, no one does tha-AHHHHHHHHHHHHH" Another hard twist of his arm would get him back to the point.

"TIAO, TIAO! He is the last pillar".

With that i would stand him upwards, His arm still twisted, still causing him pain.

"Thank you, you are such a kind guy" I would say in a cold and deadly tone. "Now you are going to call him. Tiao, I want you to shout to everyone. Tiao come out to play. Ok?"
A nod of recognition came form the beaten student.

The said it at first. A little whisper which escaped his lips. But after a hard twist of his arm he screamed it out loud, again and again.

"TIAO! Come out to pl-PLAY"

With that all i had to do was wait. Wait to se if i could make myself into a legend.

"TIAO! COME OUT TO PLAYYYYY-AHHHHHHHHHHH"

[Tiao Lei Shen]

"What the fuck?" Tiao hissed under his breath, staring up at the rooftop from his table in the courtyard.

The resounding high-pitched scream seemed to be stuck in loop, for it wouldn't stop repeating itself. Tiao stood up and began to walk towards the building, more specifically the stairs. Tiao walked normally, if not slower than usual. He was in no hurry to get to the stairs, whoever was doing this could wait. But by the sound of the scream, it wasn't coming from whoever wanted him there. That was besides the point though, he'd cross that road when he got to it.

Tiao kicked open the door and briskly walked up onto the rooftop, sheer agitation in his eyes.

"What the hell is this?" Tiao demanded with a disgusted look. There was a giant black...monster, and under him was a screaming student.

"Leave that waste of oxygen alone, you called me up here so we might as well get it on. I don't know for sure if this was to fight or not, but I don't care. Those are my students, and you're going to feel the full repercussions." Tiao threatened, crossing his arms accross his chest and sending a glare towards the much larger student.

[tank]

enjoyment. Everybody enjoyed something! Wither it was a sport, singing, skating or simply watching the t.v. Enjoyment is most likely one of the most sought after things in the world and at this moment in time, i had found it.
I was actually enjoying hurting this wannabe bad ass, making him feel pain. I bet that he had beat up upon smaller students to try and make himself seem like a hard man, so girls would actually take notice in him.

The door of the roof suddenly burst open and i must say i was alittle shocked.

I thought he would be taller

All credit to the guy who must be Tiao he did carry himself with alot of confidence. Maybe that title had gone to his head? Maybe he was used to stupid idiots like the one in my arms sticking their heads so far up his ass they haven't seen daylight for years. Either way it didn't matter, i couldn't care less. He was here and now i could get to work finally, make these Hircine fools see that the transfers were not just animals. We were a force.

A force to be feared. More importantly though a force to be obeyed.

After Tiao introduced himself he would be greeted with a big grin, my pearly whites gleaming at him and my icy cold blue eye's locked on to his.

"This Mr Tiao is the start of my legend"

With that My huge size 14 steel toe capped shoe would raise as i pulled the kid up right, I would aim a slow but immensely powerful kick to the kids lower spine and push him also with my huge arms so he flew with speed straight towards Tiao's mid-section in a forced tackle. The flying kids right shoulder would hit Tiao first, the rest of his body aiding in Knocking Tiao to the ground. I on the other had would just stand. After the kick i would simply be standing my right foot in front of my left, My arms at my sides Fist's clenched and ready to fight.

"Tiao. Are you ready to play?"

[Tiao Lei Shen]

They're all the same.

A Varronite punk will always be a punk. Rehabilitation obviously didn't work for him in Varron, so now the only thing left to do is take him down, and take him down hard.

Tank stomped the student forward, attempting to knock Tiao to the ground. The student yelled as he was kicked, flailing toward Tiao, who merely sidestepped with his arms still crossed. The student continued past Tiao, tripping and rolling down the stairs.

Hmm. I wonder if someone will get him to nurse soon. Whatever, thats not my problem anyways.

"Playing is for children, war is for men." Tiao stated cooly, never letting his gaze travel away from Tank. "So you big dumb bastard, are you still wanting to play games, or can we actually get on with your funeral arrangements?" Tiao patronized, shrugging his shoulders before walking towards Tank.

"You're wasting my oxygen by just standing here and breathing it. Someone should really stop that." Tiao would state plainly as he got closer, just before he burst forth when in striking distance, Tiao's left hand intent on gripping Tank's throat and crushing his windpipe in his grasp.

[tank]

"Play is for enjoyment. Everyone needs enjoyment, its a fact of living. If you cant enjoy anything then why dare waste your life living the same day after day" Would be my response for the moment as my first victim was sent flying down the stairs. Now for my second victim, something much much more deadly would be made of him.

His attack to start off was well not very thought out. To try and grab someones throat who is far taller and in a position to abuse the move was well just plain sloppy. This was either a move to bring in a combo or just this pillar had a much bigger bark than bite. Either way i guess i would soon find out as i went into action.
My position to him meant that he would have to pass the right side of my body to grab at my neck, unfortunately though his hand wouldn't come anywhere near my neck because my striking range was far longer than his, So when he was in my striking range My right foot would dig into the roof and push me forwards and left aiding it with a push of its own, My right shoulder would raise and so would my right arm My Right hand across my cheek encase of a shot to the jaw, My upper body would dip slightly as I went forth to literally shoulder through Tiao.

[Tiao Lei Shen]

Tiao knew his provocation of an attack would be seen as a foolish one. In fact he counted on it.

Tank hadn't acted how Tiao had predicted, but that didn't matter now. The giant had still played it relatively safe, not getting overconfident with his actions. This one either had some amount of skill, or his luck had just saved his life.

Regardless, when Tank pushed off, Tiao's left hand made an upward arc as it went out. Tiao's left hand would rake accross Tank's face, his fingers digging into his eyes. As he did this Tiao would hop backwards, Tank's shoulder going just over Tiao's eye gouge as he dodge backwards at an angle away from Tank.

[tank]

It seemed that this guy was a hot head as i thought, only a hot head that could think, and act accordingly, but so could I. His move was just what i wanted, you see being a rugby player no matter where you are you all ways keep your eyes on an opponent. Wither you tackle, rook or maul your eyes are always on the player most important. The one with the ball, the rule was integrated into my system and well i would have to try very hard to get it out so my eyes would still be on Tiao. His change in movement of his arm would be registered and his swipe to my eyes would be canceled out in a simple and easy fashion.

My right hand which was on my cheek would raise upwards ands my head dipped My hand would encircle around his wrist and his swipe would come over my forehead, His nails mostly likely causing small cuts but i would feel that later and a whole boost of adrenaline kicked in and i went forth to try and end this guy. With my grab initiated i would pulled his left hand down towards my stomach area which would still pull him towards me the massive strength advantage playing a major part but what was more i could quite simply twist his in a clockwise manner so that his elbow would come to face me. This hopefully would stop his movement and should just plainly hurt his arm.
With this done My left foot would push into the ground and in turn push me behind and Towards Tiao's lower back where my right knee would simply crash into his lower spine.

[Tiao Lei Shen]

For a big guy Tank sure was able to react quickly. As he raised his arm in an attempt to grab, Tiao wouldn't let him have the chance.

The second Tank began to encircle Tiao's wrist, the pillar moved his arm with the motions. He quickly doubled up the circle, gripping the meaty part of Tank's hand inbetween his pinky and wrist. Through years of conditioning, Tiao was still obviously not as strong as Tank, but his hands very much were. They gripped Tank's hand with force that would make an average man cry, likely causing much discomfort in Tank as his fingers dug inbetween muscle and bone.

Tiao would twist his wrist, attempting to bend Tank forward. Tank was a large man, and if he tried to resist it with his size it would only be better for Tiao as he would snap the man's wrist. If he indeed went along with it, Tiao would be off to Tank's side, extending the large man's arm as he twisted and pulled outward on the limb. Tiao kept his right hand up, ready to strike depending on how well this move would work out.

[tank]

Tiao's counter are well performed and could potentially cause me some problems but fortunately it would not. It would not at all. It would not matter how conditioned Tiao's hands where the strength in my hands and worst would be stronger but more importantly my forearm strength would be far superior aswell. This would tell.

Him trying to twist my arm would not work as such because of what i was trying to do before hand, move his arm, the force of arm arm trying to move his would either cause his very sharp grip to come undone or drive his hand to where i wanted it anyway, but this would matter because i would turn my arm the way his wanted it a little, My elbow coming upwards to smack into his forearm. But what was most important was still to come.

I was still coming forwards.

So with Tiao trying to jump to my right anyway My shoulder would crash into him, My 275 pound frame still gaining momentum as it did so. I would dip a little also to get as much of my shoulder it hit Tiao as possible. If Tiao was still trying to move to my right then he would defiantly be put on his over confident arse, if not he would still be either put on his arse or be pushed backwards and off balance.

[Tiao Lei Shen]

(OOC: Since we continued from a while ago, I got kind of lost on our positioning. Probably only helps me get more lost when I was in the middle of napping before I was woken up. Anyways, I plan to give us some space, but if my positioning is off let me know.)

Tank greatly overestimated his hand strength compared to Tiao's, whos bare fingers could rake the skin if necessary, slashing without the use of sharp fingernails. Tank's movements however were creating more trouble than it was worth to try and grapple with a larger man; so when Tank threw his elbow forward Tiao was pulling away simultaneously, causing the grip upon his hand to be dropped.

As Tank drove forward Tiao pushed both palms forward, his left one high and his right low. Pushing against his shoulder and bicep Tiao hopped, pushing himself a safe distance away from the rhino. Tiao landed easily, standing in a simple relaxed stance with his arms at his side. Waiting for Tank's next move Tiao would give him a small smirk.

"You're big. That much is obvious. So when are you going to show me something else?"

[tank]

ooc: i just realized that the pics you use for your char's are both from street fighter.

It seemed that neither of our preferred moves and counters had worked. Tiao easily pushing off my shoulder and jumping out of harms way. I grinded to a halt. My right foot slamming into the floor and stopping me from going anywhere else as my left foot slid also. I stood up relaxed just like Tiao and smirked at his words.

He really did rely on trying to intimidate opponents trying to anger them, make them make a mistake so he could pretty much beat the crap out of them. That of course wouldn't work, i was not intimidated by anyone, i was to vain for that so i tried to play it like he was.

"Show you something? Dam your the pillar around here, why don't you show me what got you to the top. With your freakishly long hair."

With that i would come forwards again. Both hands raised legs shoulder width apart, my left leading with my left hand around 18 inches from my left cheek and my right around 8 inches from my right cheek. This was a high guard but if he decided to try and attack me before i attacked him then i had some ting for that.

Still my attack range was longer than his so i started with the basic knowledge of a fighting style that i had. Boxing. Leading with my left hand i shot a straight jab to his face area towards his nose and upper lip, this i did not care about, wither it hit or not but it would be pulled back as my right foot slid along the ground and the whole of my right side swung around as i unleashed a right punch which would come over the top and hopefully crash into his left shoulder.

[Tiao Lei Shen]

(OOC: Well if my identity was a secret to anyone anymore I'm pretty sure it isn't now. You british son of a bitch!)

"Freakishly long hair?" Tiao retorted with a bemused look. "That's a good one. I didn't know shoulder length was freakishly. Especially for an asian who braids it." Tiao smiled, relaxing his arms at his sides as Tank came forward.

The jab came, Tiao pivoting on his right and sliding his left foot back as his body turned sideways, facing the arm as it snapped back in front of his face. As he squared off again Tank threw another punch, putting his body into a hard right fist. Tiao pivoted on his left foot now, moving the other way as his right slid back, Tiao's right hand making a clockwise semi-circle.

The Pillar would smack the outside of Tank's wrist with the edge of his hand, the tiger claw instantly turning and gripping the man's wrist. Pulling forward, Tiao added to Tank's own motion, hopefully putting him off balance though it was not necessary for his next move.

Tiao's left palm veered straight forward, pushing against the back of Tank's elbow. He would push the joint the wrong way, snapping his arm at the elbow joint as he tugged the arm towards him with his right with the simultaneous left palm. Bulky or not, a joint was a joint and when someone was as fast as Tiao it took little for it to give.

[tank]

ooc: what didn't you know? we Brits always shit on your American dreams

the trouble with being so big, was to actually hit your opponent. This when done could end a fight very quickly, but the main problem was actually doing it, and this against Tiao seemed to be causing me some problems. So i would have to adapt and change my way of fighting, something that i was not to bad at doing. The first jab was avoided which was no biggy what so ever but the second jab was where i was planning to gain some hits in this fight.

As he pivoted the other way he would find that it would be hard for him to actually come to my right side. The punch would be coming to down and leaning forwards on my right foot while sliding it forwards would not only drive my fist down quicker aided by my own momentum and gravity but it would bring my right knee into play, My fist would hit his right shoulder instead of his left and my right knee would hopefully smash into his left hip, if everything went to plan.

[Tiao Lei Shen]

Tiao found that Tank had put more body weight into his second punch, making his first plan unusable for the moment. Tiao slid back on his right foot, keeping his left foot where it was as his foot lifted to just being on his toes. From his shoulder, Tiao's left arm would ratchet from the elbow, palming Tank's arm away and down. This was where his punch was already going, but with a premature redirection it would easily miss Tiao, the knee strike also just barely missing Tiao's hip from the slide.

As his left hand moved downward the right hand would be circling up behind the left, slithering out in a snake hand formation, the stiff index and middle finger of Tiao's right hand plunging into Tank's exposed throat just over his shoulder. Due to Tank lifting up his foot for the knee, he would be moving forward, his throat getting more damage as he moved into it.

[tank]

ooc: late reply i know but you know how much i LOVE TO PARTY!!!

Again, only to hit an opponent, when this was done then it would be easy. That i had found out in Varron, just hitting the dam person in front of me caused the problems. He cleverly dodged my right downwards punch redirecting the blow, but believe it or not this would be more fortunate for me than him.

His attempted blow to my throat would have to be dealt with first. I could still see his movements my height and rugby knowledge keeping my eyes on him, so when his right hand came up with his fingers pointing at me, My chin would be sent downwards and my big mouth would open as his hand came into contact. His fingers would just be in my mouth as my big pearly white bite down on them. Then would do for now as my forward momentum from the punch and the knee still kept sending me forwards, so my frame would still be coming to crash into him my arm already downwards below his right and with that i would swing my big right arm back at him my elbow hitting his ribs as the swept across his mid-drift and my big hand hitting them after-wards in a back hand.

This would put my right arm under his where it could latch on to any part of available clothing most likely his left rib area to keep a grip on him when i crashed into him. My big and beefy chest first. Hoping to put him on the deck.

[Tiao Lei Shen]

A biter huh.

The move was a familiar one to Tiao, as he believed he heard that another large Varronite was known to do the move. Tank sure had reacted quickly, but he might've just given himself permanent damage, some that wouldn't get him girls anytime soon.

With an outward extension of his shoulder and a flick of his wrist, Tiao's fingers would move inwards towards his underarm just before Tank could chomp upon them. Tank would likely smash his jaw down when he thought the fingers would be there since they moved at the last second. Even if he didn't, Tank would find nothing entering his mouth but he would quickly become aware of Tiao's wrist smashing into his face.

When conditioned, the wrist was just as hard as a fist but more relaxed and therefore quicker. With the extra extension and force from putting his shoulder into it much like a boxer does his punch, Tiao's wrist would smack into Tank's front teeth, the whole set if he indeed closed his jaw, knocking some teeth loose or out; or if it remained open Tiao would smack into his top set of front teeth, knocking the teeth clear back into his throat with no resistance from the jaw.

[tank]

I was waiting. I was not just going to blindly bite down on Tiao's fingers, i was waiting for them to enter my mouth, Plus i could see his hand movements the whole time. I could register the movements in his shoulder but i could see the flick of the wrist. This i knew would hurt but i didn't no the extent of what it would actually do. this though wouldn't matter much, Tiao had forgotten how big my mouth was, I was a rugby player and a body builder always training and always shoveling vast amounts of food down my mouth. My mouth was rather large and i could fit my own big beefy fist inside it. My fist would be easily much bigger than tiao's fingers, hand and wrist. So instead of Biting down on Tiao's fingers his wrist would get lodged in my mouth My teeth digging in and my strong jaw keeping a hold on his wrist as i did what i was already planning.

(ooc: I'm in a rush so I'm copy and pasting from my previous post)

With that done my forward momentum from the punch and the knee still kept sending me forwards, so my frame would still be coming to crash into him my arm already downwards below his right and with that i would swing my big right arm back at him my elbow hitting his ribs as the swept across his mid-drift and my big hand hitting them after-wards in a back hand.
This would put my right arm under his, where it could latch on to any part of available clothing most likely his left rib area to keep a grip on him when i crashed into him. My big and beefy chest first. Hoping to put him on the deck.

[Tiao Lei Shen]

In order to see the arm movements Tank would need superhuman insight as the shoulder push and wrist flick wouldn't happen until the last moment. If Tank truly waited for the hand to enter his mouth, then he only assured Tiao of more than enough time to perfect his attack.

No matter how big Tank's mouth was, whether he could fit his fist, a pineapple, or a small child in his mouth didn't matter. Since Tiao was adequately shorter than Tank he would be striking at a slight upwards angle. The back of his wrist would smack into the top set of Tank's teeth, pushing them back into his throat where he would hopefully choke on them. No matter how far Tank's jaw could open, the end result would be the same. The top set of teeth didn't move when the jaw did, and since that was the target area the open mouth was pointless semantics.

Tiao might have cut his the middle of his wrist on the edges of Tank's front teeth. It didn't matter anyways, its not as if Tiao could feel it from the years of nerve damage on his arms in order to strike harder with not repurcussions.

In the short run at least.

[tank]

(ooc: short i know, any probs pm so we can sort it out)

To move his shoulder and wrist in such short distance and time Tiao would need to have inhumanely fast reactions, either way, this would not be pleasant for the both of us.

big edit:

Tiaos attack to my actual teeth wouldn't happen in the end, i was closing my mouth to bite him, but he had changed his attack so my mouth would close before he even hit my teeth so instead of my teeth being hit and almost knocked out it would be my upper lip which would split most likely under the impact, my head moving back a little from the force of his attack and my movement forwards, but with such strong muscles that i had even in my neck i could bring my head forwards again, blood coming from my lip now and pushing the wrist back.

This of course would be happing at the same time as my other attack, still coming forwards with a rather dull pain in both my lip and my neck from the sudden movement backwards then forwards my right arm would indeed crash into Tiao my attack range being longer than taio's helped by the fact it was close to him anyway my forearm smacking into Tiaos right ribs as i could not move in time to actually punch him but i could grip on to his clothing after that keeping him close to me as my right shoulder would hit him in either his right shoulder area or his face, neck area. Either way his had a 275 pound guy crashing into him. Possibly send in to the ground

[Tiao Lei Shen]

(OOC: Still a few no-no's, but I'll go with it anyways. I'm always willing to help out the slow )

Whether there was time rip in reality, or Tank was some sort of mutant Tiao didn't know, but in less than an instant Tank had closed his mouth. Just in time to get popped in the lip. The second it impacted however, Tiao snapped his arm back. As he did so his right foot began to slide behind him, aiding in his next movements.

Tank may have a longer striking range, but that didn't matter when they were this close. Tiao could still have struck out before the larger man, but regardless it was not needed. Tank drove his right forearm forward, leading itself right into the position of Tiao's free left hand.

Tiao's left hand guided the arm forward and to the right, tugging it forward as his right foot spun around clockwise, his right arm extended and following suitely. Tank was pushing himself forward already, making Tiao's efforts in the endeavor close to zero. In an instant the spin would be complete, and Tank would feel a sharp pain as the back of Tiao's wrist smashed into the back of his head, strikin the knotch in the head where the spine and skull connected.

The strike had enough force to knock most large men out, and due to the fact it was in such a vulnerable area Tank's lights were about to go out. Even if he retained conciousness, Tank would likely be stunned as he fell forward, falling face first into the pavement.
