OOC: Sorry for the short post, I'm kind of in a rush...
Dante was leaning on a wall behind the school. He looked around to see if anyone was around and got his cell phone out of his backpack. Then he picked up his dog Elliot and said, "Home Elliot! Home!"
As his dog was scurrying away Dante got his cell phone and texted messaged the Pillar Shen. He had his resources to know Shen's number...
Phone: MEET ME BEHIND THE SCHOOL AT 5:00! HURRY!
Dante: Then he checked his watch, it was 4:30, he thought half an hour was enough time for Shen to get there.
Then he just waited. This'll be fun! Dante thought, Fighting a pillar and all. Hopefully he'll accept my challenge for his title...
Then he just checked his watch and waited...

Alright....now just ollie into the manual...yes! Now the casper slide...yeah, two for two. And for the casper flip...
Tiao's thoughts would be cut off by the sound of his phone playing the song Give it All by Rise Against. "Dammit." Tiao said as he cut to a stop, flipping the board up as he set his feet on solid ground. "That was going to be the time I nailed it, I know it." He muttered as he flipped open his razor phone, the screen lighting up to show a text message from an unknown number.
Tiao didn't know who it was or what exactly they wanted, but his curiousity took over and he decided to go regardless. After all, it could be a damsel in distress. Nothing like a hot upperclassmen girl in need of some assistance.
Tiao Lei Shen knocked his skateboard back to the pavement and hopped on. He would be at the school in ten minutes at most, the skatepark wasn't very far at all. Upon arriving, Tiao glanced around, looking for an attractive female. When he spotted Dante he sighed, he wasn't quite the woman Tiao had hoped for.
"What do you want?" Tiao snapped as he appraoched from behind Dante. There was no one else around, and he assumed that this one was the one who texted him.

Dante checked his watch when Shen came, it was 4:50, "Wow," Dante said, "You got here ten minutes earlier than I expected. I'm impressed..."
Then he snapped up, "I think you know why I'm here Tiao. I want to fight you, or rather to challenge you for your pillar title."
While he waited for a reply he thought, Finally, a chance to fight a pillar. Just imagine what would happen if I won! I'd finally get some authority and change things for the better around this hell school.
He checked Shen to maybe find out what kind of person he was, Kinda' scrawny... Big muscles though. This guy looks like he relies on his speed. And his endurance isn't the greatest. He's kind of like me in a way...
Then he snorted, As if! But there was one thing that caught his attention, "Dude, nice pants." Dante said jokingly, "But seriously though, those pants are awesome. I want a pair of those..."
Then he got into a fighting pose, "So will you or won't you accept my challenge?" He asked.

Throughout everything Dante had said, Tiao stood there, crossing his arms and raising an eyebrow. Breathing out a sigh of irritance, Tiao closed his eyes a moment, slowly shaking his head back and forth.
"You've got to be joking." Tiao glared at Dante, uncrossing his arms and pointing at the smaller student.
"And why would I do that? I don't know who the hell you are, and I'm guessing no one else does either. Why would I, the infamous Tiao Lei Shen even give you a chance to be something great?" Tiao ranted, frustrated by a challenge. This one was Varronian thats for sure.
"But I gotta keep face. Look kid, you got one chance to walk away and we both forget this challenge was ever made. If not well, you'll be eating dirt....and you'll be begging for more after choking on your own bloody teeth for the next week."

OOC: Sooooo sorry for the late reply...
Dante chuckled when Shen titled himself as infamous. "Infamous?" Dante asked, "I'd hardly call you that. It took me a couple of days to find out who you were and your cell phone number. But hey, that's your deal."
Then Dante touched his heart dramatically when Tiao said he was a nobody and he doesn't deserve the chance to be something great, "Wow, that really hurts me Tiao, it hurts me a lot." Then he laughed, "But what your saying is, that if someone that was more well known around the school challenged you, then you would accept it? I highly doubt it."
He started walking around Shen in a circle, "It seems your'e just a coward. And anyway, you're right, and what do you have to lose for just walking away? Only you're honor and dignity."
He then asked, "But if you're as good as you say you are, and since I don't have much of a rep you say, that probably means I'm not too good at fighting, but anyway you can walk away as soon as you'd like. But I wouldn't advise it."
He then turned, "I know ways to make your life a living hell, Tiao. I really think you should consider what you said."

Tiao stood there, scowl on his face and arms crossed upon his chest. With every syllable Dante had uttered, Tiao found one more reason to tear his windpipe from his throat.
As soon as he had finished speaking, Tiao would rush forth giving no verbal warning. It wouldn't be a surprise attack due to Dante looking at him, but it was likely he would be taken off guard. This one had wasted enough of his time as it was, and he would be taken care of swiftly. Learning the name of his opponent hadn't even flashed through Tiao's mind. He just wasn't important.
Once in reach, Tiao's right hand would slash forth in a tiger claw formation, aimed right for the throat of Dante, tearing from his right to left (your left to right).

Dante just chuckled when Tiao lashed out at him, an attack for the throat, not expected, but all in all Tiao was going to play along.
He quickly jumped backwards with a lot of pressure and then pushed his heels down when he was out of attacking distance, "Oh, c'mon," He jeered, "This is all that the infamous Tiao Lei Shen can do?"
He would try to get Shen more and more angry, rage always disrupted the mind, therefore, making Dante's job easier.
"Oh yeah," He continued, "Before you attack, and miss, again, you might want to know that my name is Dante Williams. I thought you might need to know since I was a 'nobody' and all..."
It's smart to play defensively right now, Dante thought, just to see this guys potential, and how he fights. For now all I can see now is this guy is pretty fast and since he just went for my throat I guess it's safe to assume that he doesn't hold anything back.
"Also if I learned anything from West Side Story," Dante said to himself, "I learned that fighting is just another form of dancing, and you shouldn't be afraid of who you are or who you might become but that's not important right now..."
Then he looked up at Tiao and said, "Okay, let's fight."

"Shut up already." Tiao sighed as he shook his head from side to side. "You talk way too much and the only thing you proved is that you can run away from a simple strike."
Snickering, Tiao continued forward in annoyance of this challenge. "Who cares what your name is? I sure as hell don't. You were a nobody before this challenge and when its over, you still will be. Nobodies don't need names."
Dante continued to talk, Tiao's face scrunching together as if he was in actual pain from hearing Dante speak. "West Side Story?" Tiao repeated, unbelieving of what he had just heard.
"First of all, why the hell are you telling me this? I don't give two shits on anything you've learned. Secondly, the fact you said you learned about fighting from a musical? Sure they had a knife fight, but even then it hardly qualifies as a fight. They might dance around like a bunch of girls but I don't."
Bringing up his right hand in front of his face, Tiao clenched it into a Tiger claw, the bones in his hand cracking under the pressure. "Fighting is no dance. The martial arts are for protection, enforcing that protection, insuring your own life....and taking away other lives. Thats what I have learned and if you aren't careful, you will too."
Tiao would rush forward again, his left palm aiming directly for the smaller man's sternum with the intentions to crack it in half.

"Who cares what your name is? I sure as hell don't. You were a nobody before this challenge and when its over, you still will be. Nobodies don't need names."
"Nobodies don't need names..." He repeated to himself in his mind. "Well now you hurt my feelings." Dante said mockingly while touching his heart, "Everyone needs a name to feel important in this world, even little nobodies like me."
When Shen commented on West Side Story, Dante chuckled, "Why would I be talking to you?" Then he just shook his head, "I was talking to myself, and anyways, if you think about it hardly enough, some martial arts are just a form of dance. And anyways musicals are NOT girly!" He put on a fake pouty face and crossed his arms.
Then he giggled so it seemed almost maniacal, "Anyhoo, it's good that you 'don't give to shits anyway'. Because I wasn't planning for you to." Then he paused and thought for a while, "And it would be kind of weird if you actually cared anyway..."
At that note he was left thinking until Tiao made a move for his breastbone, he raised an eyebrow and dodged Tiao's attack by shifting his weight to his right quickly and jumped out of the way.
While Tiao was still charging, Dante attempted to knee Shen in the stomach and see what came of it. "And anyway," Dante grinned, "I personally think that A West Side Story has some phenominal dance numbers."

(OOC: Your moves were a bit vague, so I'm going to do some assuming. Don't worry, I won't be too mean. ) IC: Dante dodged to his right, bringing up his left knee in an attempt to strike Tiao underneath his own attack. Reacting, Tiao's left arm changed directions, moving downward and striking the inner thigh of Dante's leg. This would cause it to be a little sore, but more importantly knock the leg to the outside and missing Tiao's midsection. Tiao's left foot would slide to the side, moving just behind Dante's planted right foot. The angle of Tiao's leg would cause the two men's calves to collide, Dante losing his balance and falling forward by the simultaneous strike to Dante's leg. As Dante would fall forward Tiao's right forearm would be rising up, striking Dante in the bride of the nose and sending him backwards. All this would take little over a second, striking Dante before he would have much else to do besides blink. "Just stop talking."

OOC: You got my move pretty well, and THAT'S not too mean? ) "Whoa!" Dante yelled as Tiao tripped him quickly while dodging his attack. He fell forward and thought, If I can just hit the ground, I can hit the ground and no major damage will happen yet!No such luck. Tiao's fist sunk deep into Dante's face and Dante fell backwards, luckily falling back far enough to get out of range from Tiao's moves. Then Dante's just said, "Ow." calmly. Right after Dante talked, pain surged out through his entire head like it was on fire, OW!!! Dante thought and held back a tear. Like he was going to let Tiao see he was hurt. "That was good." Dante said calmly while getting up, "No wonder you're a pillar." "Just stop talking." Tiao sneered. Then Dante just shrugged, the pain was getting better now, "As you wish M'lord..." Then held both hands in front of him, one straight in front in case of a normal attack, and one closer to his chest, to block attacks. He would stay defensive for a while. Then he started swaying to possibly confuse Tiao and so he would have a good chance of dodging attacks. Also, in case he needed to go offensive, this would give him momentum. Then he thought, His move.And he waited for an attack.

(OOC: If I was being mean you'd know by being dead already)
The attack had been carried out as planned, Tiao's forearm smashing into Dante's nose and sending him backwards where Tiao casually stood up, waiting to see if the kid would be able to even get up after such a blow.
Dante sucked up a tear and got back into a fighting stance, awaiting Tiao's move once more.
The kid is scared, thats good. He thinks by being defensive he'll last longer. The only problem with that strategy is he won't beat me by holding on. He'll have to attack sooner or later.
Tiao began to walk forward casually until he was just out of arms reach of the smaller student. Tiao's left arm went out his hand blocking the vision of Dante as it passed harmlessly in front of the student's eyes from right to left (your left to right). Whether Dante flinched at this and went to block the arm or not didn't matter, as immediately Tiao's right hand snaked out in a cobra strike, his middle and index finger intent on sinking into the challenger's throat.

OOC: Really now, well that makes me a lot more comfortable knowing that... ;D)
When Tiao started to walk forward, Dante thought Uh-Oohhhh...
So he kept his guard up and decided to stay on a heightened sense of paranoia. Since this guy's walking toward me so calmly, it's only a matter of time before he does some major damage.
When Tiao's hand just swept across his face, he jumped back like it was someone trying to stab him with a knife.
Normally, Dante would've just batted the hand away and see what Tiao was really planning but Dante was trying to dodge any attack in any form.
As he jumped back, he noticed that Tiao lashed out with his index and middle finger so that it would have gone right into Dante's throat.
Dante felt his throat and thought, Thank God that I dodged it...
Then his feet skidded on the ground as he hit it and started to sway again. I can't win this by just constantly dodging, Dante thought, I'll have to think of some other plan...

Dante had dodged the initial strike whether it was by luck or skill, but that didn't mean Tiao would let it end there.
Keeping his right side out towards Dante, Tiao would continue to slide forward, dealing very quick and accurate strikes to Dante's throat with his right hand following Dante's trail no matter what direction he would possibly move to.
Dante would have no time to think after dodging the first attack, and unless he wanted to try his luck and continue dodging until Tiao finally got his hit, Dante would have to rely on his instincts and react accordingly.

After Dante dodged Tiao's attacks, he thought, Whew! That was close!
Right then Tiao appeared right next to him and started jabbing quickly, "Ack!" Was the only thing Dante could say because he was too busy weaving through Tiao's jabs.
C'mon Dante, think! Think! You can't just keep dodging these hits forever! Or then next thing you know you'll be breathing through a metal tube!
He jumped back at a jab and swiftly sweeped behind Tiao and attempted to make him fall by kicking the back of his leg.
This is all I have for now! Dante thought nervously, then grinned, Buuuut it is fun to actually have a fight. It's been forever since I last had one!

Dante had continued to dodge, likely at a loss of what else to do at the moment. Finally, the kid had managed to sweep around Tiao and kick the back of his leg. The kid was playing it safe and threw out an attack he didn't think would have much repurcussions. It was a decent strategy, it was just too bad he was wrong.
Tiao's head whipped around to follow Dante's movements instantly. The pillar turned and kicked out his left leg, the edge of his foot strike just above Dante's knee. While this would cause loads of pain as it was, this was just the start.
Using his years of training which built up his leg strength and agility, Tiao's foot planted on Dante's knee, pushing up and off of it, causing the knee to bend backwards once Dante's foot would touch the ground from the kick. Pushing up and into, Dante would catch Tiao's right knee directly into his face.
Unless the gods worked a miracle for Dante, the ending result would be a broken knee and nose for the challenger. Whether he was concious or not wouldn't matter after this, if you can't walk, you can't fight.

OOC: Damn, you're ruthless Shen... When Dante attempted to kick Tiao, there was no such luck as Tiao pushed his foot down on Dante's leg. Crap! Dante thought as a throbbing pain started to spread throughout his knee. When he saw Tiao's foot coming down to break his knee, he thought frantically, Awww, what the hell?But playing around with his little brother when he was young started his reflexes and he scooted forward a little so that Tiao's foot would slide forward, thus, letting Dante bend his knee upward. This will hurt a lot and cause me to limp for a while, but it's a helluva lot better then having a broken leg...When Tiao hit his knee, pain surged through his entire leg and he strained for a while and pulled it free. But right then Tiao's knee hit his face, causing his nose to crack and Dante flew backwards. When Dante landed on the ground, out of range from Tiao, thankfully, he felt his nose and noticed that it was broken. "Well," Dante said calmly, bluffing about how much pain he was feeling, "Good job, you were the first person to ever break one of my bones. Too bad it was only a nose though." Then he got up and started to sway, but slowly, because of his hurt leg, and he started to search for an opening on Tiao.

(OOC: Heh, well you misunderstood the dynamics of the knee break, but oh well. I'll go with it.)
Tiao clenched his jaw tightly as Dante began to stand up. After he had spoken Tiao sighed, closing his eyes for a moment before speaking in a relaxed tone and stance.
"Go home, you've lost." Tiao stated plainly, opening his eyes to meet Dante's in a hard staredown. "You lucked out with your knee, but you probably sprained the joint or tore a ligament. Any further damage on that leg could cause you to be crippled for the rest of your life." Tiao paused, his gaze softening, even if only for a moment.
"Is it worth that to you? Would you really like to bet your ability to walk on a pointless challenge? Walk away from this now kid, or you'll be leaving with more breaks and tears. Thats a promise." Tiao warned harshly, arms relaxed at his side.
Tiao wouldn't attack him again, if Dante chose to walk away now Tiao would let him with no more repurcussions than what he had already been delivered. If Dante still chose to preservere, he would need to make the next move.
And it will be his last.

OOC: Sorry about that... (laughs awkwardly) heh-heh... Dante sighed as Tiao warned him to stop fighting or else his leg could cripple him for life. Dante grinned slightly, "Well," He drawled, "It's sweet that you care about me, it really is. But it'll take a lot more than a limp to stop me..." A LIMP!!! Dante screamed inside his head, Yeah, Right! You won't be 'kicking' much with this leg for another week if you're lucky!!! But it won't hurt to keep trying. Well, actually, it will but if it gets too bad, I'll pull out. No use fighting with a broken leg, or anything else other than a nose..."As I was saying." Dante repeated, "I'll stay in, for a while longer that is..." Then he charged forward with his normal leg by shifting his wieght to it and sort of jumping forward. While he was in the air, he would attempt to elbow Tiao. If Tiao dodged it, then Dante would try to roll towards him when he hit the ground and try to sweep kick Tiao's legs with Dante's normal leg. If Tiao tryed to counterattack Dante when Dante tried to elbow him, then Dante would be forced to fight like a little kid and actually bite one of Tiao's body parts. Well, Dante thought as he carried out his attack, I'm screwed...

(OOC: Sorry for length, had alot of punishment to give out. ;D )
Tiao closed his eyes and sighed. Dante chose to continue, and now he wouldn't have another chance to pull out.
As Dante jumped forward, Tiao guided his left hand to deflect the strike, his left arm snaking up to grasp Dante's shirt just above the shoulder. Simultaneously, Tiao would have slid behind Dante, his right hand grabbing a fistful of Dante's hair as he yanked his head backwards, surely causing the boy to yelp in pain.
Tiao's right foot came in hard, stomping on the side of Dante's left ankle, snapping it easily due to the impossibility of him able to change his momentum with only one good leg he had just planted. With a now broken ankle, Dante would probably have dropped to the ground, but Tiao didn't let him, holding him up by his shoulder and hair.
"Time's up." Tiao whispered in his ear, just before slamming his head face first into the ground causing his nose to hurt even more.
He wasn't done however, as Tiao continued forward, placing his right knee on the back of Dante's neck, pinning him to the ground. Tiao's left hand would slide out and grasp Dante's left wrist, yanking the arm up and fully extending it as he held it against his kneeled left leg. Gripping the back of the elbow with his right hand, Tenkuu twisted the arm clockwise, dislocating the ball and socket joint as well as tearing the ligament in the shoulder.
As soon as the audible pop emerged, Tiao pushed forward on the eblow, breaking that joint as well. This would all happen in a flash, giving Dante no time to think about anything except the pain he was in.
Tiao rose to his feet, leaving Dante lie with a sprained right knee, broken left ankle, broken nose, dislocated shoulder, torn ligament, and broken elbow. Tiao turned him over onto his back, surely causing more pain, but at least this way he would be able to breathe.
"I warned you Williams. Now you're going to be bed ridden for a few weeks, and crippled much longer than that."
