Abel had been laying in his dorm room with nothing to do but think about how this school year was going to go. He had just met his younger brother's girlfriend earlier that day, and he knew that she could end up screwing things up for him if she kept coming around him. 'Damn girl. I sure hope that Drake makes his way here quick because I don't think I can handle her following me around like she has been.' He got up from his bed and looked out of the window to check out the courtyard of the school. He smiled as he got up off of the bed and began to walk out of the dorm complex. He walked down the halls with that same smirk, and he had his hands inside of his pocket. He knew what he had to do, and it involved the highest ranked people in Hircine's school.
He walked out of the building and took in a big breath of fresh air. He looked around the courtyard in search of any one of the pillars, but it seemed that none of them were there yet. He let out a slight sigh as he walked to the center of the courtyard and stood there. 'I'm going to wait here until one of them shows up. Whether it takes two minutes or the rest of the damn day, I'm not moving from this spot.' And it just happened to be his second guess. He didn't want to stand anymore so he had sat down on the ground instead. It was getting dark now and there was still no sign of a pillar. He began to wonder if they were just not coming to the school since it was a weekend, but other students were around so that probably wasn't the case.
He stood up once again and looked behind him. There was a lone student walking toward the courtyard. His eyes squinted a little as he noticed who the student was. A slight smile went across his face as he walked toward the student that he had been waiting for this whole day. He stopped right in front of the kid and let out a little snicker. "So you are a Pillar are you not? Tiao is your name if I am correct. I've been waiting for you all day. I know I didn't send you a formal letter or whatever for a meeting but I knew that you would eventually come." He held out his right hand and looked at Tiao with a smile. "The name's Abel, Abel Moldune, and I'm a fellow Hircinian. I'm on a mission to get all of these varronites out of our school, and I'm sure you are to. I'd like to help you and your captain in doing so."

Skateboarding down the sidewalks, Tiao Lei Shen had planned on going to the park. He was going to nail that Casper flip even if he had to kill someone to do so, despite the fact that taking a life would bring him no closer to that goal. But hey, the symbolism was there and it made things dramatic. Drama is good.
Deciding to cut through the school to get to the park, Tiao kicked up his board, beginning to walk as he held it in his right hand. He didn't make it far however, until he was approached by another student. Tiao was prepared to defend himself in case it was a hostile Varronite, but that didn't seem to be the case.
Sighing, Tiao moved his arm over his shoulder, grasping the axel of the board as it hung over his shoulder and against his back. "I guess its you're lucky day. In case you didn't notice its a weekend, and if you did your homework you would know I don't usually go to school on the weekends. I live in the burbs, not the dorms. But to get back to the point, what makes you think I'd want your help? Maybe you'd just get in the way." Tiao said plainly.
He got offers like this all the time, nobodies always wanting to make a name for themselves by tagging with the Pillars, and Tiao wasn't looking to give favors. Sighing again, Tiao would remain standing there, awaiting a reply from Abel.

Abel's hand did not receive a hand in return so he just ignored that and put it back into his pocket. Tiao had told Abel that it was his lucky day since it was the weekend and he lived in the suburbs of San Francisco. But then he asked why he would need any help, and said that maybe Abel would just get in his way. Abel turned his head to the side and let out a little snicker at the comment. Obviously Tiao had great trust in his own abilities, but trust alone isn't all that is needed to win a fight. Abel turned back to look at the younger and smaller student with a sly grin on his face and a weird look in his eyes. He looked Tiao up and down to get a feel for how fit he was, and it seemed that he worked out quite frequently because of his well defined mucles. He looked straight at Tiao now, but this time with a completely serious stare.
"I'm not neccesarily saying that YOU need my help, in fact not at all. I know how talented you are when it comes to fighting. I wanted to talk to you about these Varronites that are polluting are precious school. I truly don't think that you, Darren, and Kurtz are going to be able to take on every one of the new students by yourself, and that's where I come in. I'm sure that you've probably never even heard of me but that's no surprise. I just came here after I finally got out of that damn orphanage only a couple miles from this school, so I am basically a no name. I believe that I can help your guy's cause to get these transfers out of here, but if you don't agree I understand completely. You three may be good fighters but three versus the couple hundred that have come here isn't a equal fight."
He turned his body to the side and looked at a new transfer student from Varron. The kid looked back at Abel with a scowl and Abel only laughed. "These Varron kids are all the same. They hate us as much as we hate them. So why don't we join forces to take them down before they try to change the ways of Hircine High?" He said as he looked back at Tiao. 'Why is it that whoever has power believes that they can just be complete ass holes to people that are only trying to help? But then again, I guess I'm just trying to get power as well so I'm not any better.'

(OOC: Short, I don't think I had much to say.)
IC:
"If you think our only talents lie in fighting then you are thinking one tracked, just like a Varronite." Tiao snickered, not liking the stuck up attitude this no-name gave him. "But I'm listening. What do you think you could do to help the situation? Talk."
Tiao raised his brows, showing his impatience towards the student. He had things to do today, and he didn't like to break schedule. If this ended up being a waste of time he wouldn't be very happy at all, but maybe this one could do something. Tiao is usually the doer, not the planner like Darren and Kurtz. It would be a tough judgement for him to make, but he would do so anyways. Its not like he needed Darren to hold his hand.

Abel turned back completely to look at Tiao again. 'This kid is so damn impatient, but that's good. I hate people that are just willing to take help without even knowing the reason.' He then grabbed his chin and began to think of how he could explain how he could help the captain and his pillars. His eyes opened wide as an idea finally came into his mind. He looked into the eyes of Tiao and laughed out loud at this great thought of his. "Well since you really don't seem to trust my abilities than how about we have ourselfs a little friendly scrimage. This is basically the only I way can think of to show you how serious I am about helping you guys."
He stepped back about ten feet an then just stood there and looked at Tiao. "Well then why don't you make the first move, oh great pillar Tiao. Lets see if the hipe was true or just a bunch of rumors." He let out another laugh but then got serious as he waited for Tiao to start the fight.

"Hey, if you're in such a hurry to get hurt fine. It takes more than fighting ability to be able to help us. Hell, you said that yourself. But without it you'll be completely useless, so...lets see what you got." Tiao said plainly before rushing Abel.
Tiao would toss the skateboard directly at Abel's face, the sneak attack possibly taking the man off guard. If it was supposed to be a spar it would probably be unexpected.
As the board went up towards Abel's nose, Tiao's left hand would form a tiger claw, his palm aimed directly for the taller man's solar plexus.

Abel stood there waiting for Tiao to attack in eager anticipation. He hadn't fought a worhty opponent in a long time and he thought that Tiao would finally be one. Tiao then came running at Abel and he then got ready for the fight. Tiao threw his skateboard directly at Abels face, but Abel had just enough time to move to his right. The tiger claw attack went unnoticed and ended uphitting and scrapingby him on the far left side of his rib cage, doing little damage at all. Tiao would most likely still be moving slightly forward do to his attack not hitting drirectly and so Abel would use this to his advantage. As the tiger claw finally went past his left side he would hit Tiao's arm with his left arm and then turn quickly to send a slight spin kick from his right leg toward Tiao's back. He would then jump back a couple of feet to get ready for the next attack.
"You may be fast Tiao, but now you know that I am fast as well. Remeber that." He said all the while paying attention to Tiao's movements.

Unfortunately for Abel, Tiao's attack had been a prodding one, an attack used merely to see how the opponent would react. And Abel reacted wrong.
Tiao had solidified his foot as he threw his attack, it had scraped Abel's side, but it also meant that Tiao would not be moving past his opponent. Therefore, when Abel spun, Tiao had been given plenty of time to get to him first.
Tiao would quickly bring his left arm back up, striking the outer calf of Abel with the edge of his hand as his right arm came up, striking the upper thigh. As he moved in Tiao's right shoulder would strike Abel's right kidney, causing discomfort, but not enough for to do any real damage. This would likely knock Abel from his feet and cause him to roll away but Tiao wouldn't continue, he would wait for Abel to get up and make the next move.

Abel was quite surprised to see that Tiao was able to counter his attack so well. His leg had been hit in two different areas, and then he felt some pain in his kidney region. He didn't fall to the ground, but he did end up moving sligtly backward and away from Tiao and went down on one knee. "Damn this kid is obviously trained in some sort of martial arts, but that is to be expected of a pillar.' Abel slowly got up and looked at Tiao with a smile. 'Time to utilize some speed, and see how fast this kid really is.' What Tiao didn't know was Abel was really testing him to see if the pillars were really all that great or not. He shook off the slight pain he had and lunged toward Tiao. He sent his right arm down at first but then came up at high speed to try and connect with Tiao's chin. 'Counter me, I dare you!'

Abel got to his feet and sent an uppercut towards Tiao. It was fast and had built good momentum, but there was a flaw that made all of it useless. When Abel swung his arm downward first, he had completely telegraphed his uppercut, letting Tiao know what he was doing the moment Abel moved.
Tiao rushed in, throwing his left hand out. His tiger claw would land and clutch the bicep of Abel's right arm, halting the momentum of the uppercut before it was too highly built up. At the same time, Tiao's right claw would rush out, palming Abel in the face before his fingers snapped in to grasp his face. With his palm in front of Abel's eyes, Tiao's middle finger and thumb would dig into the temples of Abel, the pressure on the pressure points causing the man to loosen up for a moment. A moment Tiao wouldn't waste.
Still clutching the arm and the face, Tiao would move closer, his right hip smashing into Abel's left hip, causing his balance to weaken. Tiao would then use his right leg and sweep the back Abel's right knee, pulling back on the arm and pushing down on the head. Then end result would be Abel's legs collapsing from underneath him as his head moved backwards. His legs would come up as his head went straight back, the back of his head smashing into the grass.
Whether Abel was concious or not, Tiao would let go and get up to determine the amount of damage he caused.

Abel's uppercut was stopped by Tiao's right hand grabbing onto his bicep. He smiled right before Tiao grabbed onto his face. 'Now its my turn for a counter, young Tiao.' Abel was being pulled slightly toward Tiao and this gave him a great advantage. Tiao had put quite a bit of pressure on Abel's temples, but Abel still had to fight back before he was taken out. Abel sent a powerful left palm attack toward Tiao's right elbow in an attempt to seriously hurt or even break his elbow joint. He would then use the pulling of his right arm that had gotten him closer to Tiao to get another attack in. He sent a left powerful knee to the right side of Tiao's lower torso. If all went according to plan, Tiao's grip on his face would be gone and most likely he'd be grabbing his left arm with his right and feeling the pain on the right side of his torso. "You're not the only person that can counter my friend."

Abel sent a palm strike towards Tiao's right arm. On instinct, Tiao loosened his grip on the temples, causing the palm to just knock Tiao's hand from Abels face with no lasting damage.
Having his arm sent to the left, Tiao moved in with it. Bending at the elbow, Tiao would move forward with his right foot, the extended arm turning into a right elbow strike to Abel's left cheekbone. As a result of Tiao stepping forward, Abel's knee would never get fully out. His leg would either never come off the ground, or result in being tied up between the two fighters depending on his speed.

Abel's attack to Tiao's arms made him let go of his face but didn't really do any damage at all. Now Tiao was going for an elbow to Abel's cheek, but since Abel's knee was basically stoped by Tiao's movement he was ready once again. Abel grabbed onto the left forearm of Tiao and stopped the elbow attack and then quickly grabbed onto his left arm as well, which was easy since Tiao was already holding Abel's arm. He would then jump in the air quickly and send both of his feet at Tiao's solar plexus while still holding his arms. When this attack would hit he'd let go and do a flip from the push off of Tiao's body and land on his feet. He would then wait for Tiao to either get up or stop the fight. Since this was only a friendly spar.

Abel attempted to grab (what I assume you meant) Tiao's right forearm to halt the elbow attack. The only problem with that was he wouldn't have time to do so after palming away the arm. If somehow he managed to do so regardless, the elbow would strike the hand and drive through, Abel's hand getting wedged between the forearm and his own face.

Abel's attempt to stop Tiao's elbow to his cheek was unsuccessful, and Tiao ended up hitting him even though Abel had his arm. Abel laughed at the pain he was experiencing and kept his grip on Tiao's arms. He would send his right knee at Tiao's left hip and then would spin and use his momentum to lift and throw Tiao over his shoulder using both of his arms strength. If successful Tiao would be only a couple feet away on his back with a pain in his right side. Abel would stand and rub the blood from his mouth and smile.

Tiao's damage had been done, but Able still seemed to keep going. He brought his other knee up, smashing into Tiao's hip. It numbed the joint a bit, but overall wouldn't be an issue in any way.
Abel went for a throw on Tiao, and deciding not to fight it, he relaxed. It was a good way to seperate from the close encounter, and it wouldn't cause any damage. Especially since they were on grass.
Tiao was tossed over Abel's shoulder, Tiao curling in his head and limbs. Rolling over his shoulder, he popped up to his feet in a standing position facing Abel. "You bumped me, which is more than what most have accomplished. You ready to call it quits yet, or do you want a matching black eye?" Tiao asked, nodding towards Abel's busted lip.

Abel watched as Tiao just rolled after he was thrown over his shoulder. He got up quickly and looked back at Abel with a cocky look and said that he had actually bumped him. He then asked if Abel wanted to call it quits or if Abel wanted a black eye as well. Tiao had looked at Abel's lip and a sly grin ran across his face once again. "Damn kid you're definately worthy of the title Pillar. Its been a long ass time since I actually fought someone who was a difficult match and for that I guess I have to thank you. I guess that we can call it quits... for now, but don't think that this fight is over..." He slowly walked to Tiao with his smile and shot out his right hand for a hand shake again. "Now lets try this again... My name's Abel Moldune."

Tiao smirked towards Abel as he shot his hands into his pockets, a wry grin spreading across his face as he stared into Abel's eyes. "Introductions are over." Tiao stated plainly, obviously ignoring the handshake once again.
"I'll be honest with you. I don't like you. You're an ass." Tiao said simply, as if it was casual to say such a thing. "But, you have at least some talent so I'll give you a chance. You'll be my eyes and ears in places I'm not. You are not allowed to start fights with the Varronites. If you are attacked you may defend yourself, but you are not to throw the first strike. You break these rules and I break you. Understood?"
Tiao cocked his eyebrow, waiting for Abel's response.

Abel smiled as Tiao obviously ignored the shake and so he too put his hand in his trench coat pockets. He was told that Abel had some talent and that he could be of use to him. Tiao told Abel that he would be his eyes and ears where he wasn't and not to start any fights with the Varronites unless he was attacked first. Then he threatened to break Abel if he broke those rules and Abel just sent a cocky smirk back at Tiao. "Well you never said I couldn't provoke them into a fight, but don't worrry I'll follow your damned rules. As for me being an ass... get used to it kid. I'm like that to everyone, even my allies, but I'm just a little less of an ass to my allies and friends." He turned aroudn and began to walk toward the dorm complex with a small wave over his shoulder. "Oh and tell Darren and Kurtz I say 'Hi'. Be seeing them soon. Hahahah!..." He then walked into the dorm complex without even looking back again.
