Paragons Captainship Finale

[kuni]

As the fight progressed, some students would find their attention diverted by the animation of Kunioku. He continued to jump around the seats, pulling people over to him to tell how excited he was. It wasn't for a few minutes til Kuni would sit down in the first row of the bleachers, placing his elbows on his knees as he rested his grinning face on his palms.

In the blink of an eye, however, Kuni's grin would turm to grimace. As The words were exchanged and the body tossed, Kuni would sit up placing his palms on his thighs as he expressed his dissapointment with the apparent anti-climatic end of the fight. The Captain who instilled so much fear into the students of Paragon would duck behind a body as he made his exit for whatever reason. Jack and Kuni would share a moment of exasperation, where Kuni's lip would portude in a pout.

It wouldn't stay that way for long, though. Jack had pent up frustration and began to rampage through the gymnasium as Godzilla did to Kuni's ancestors downtown Tokyo. True story. Kuni swears on your life its true. Regardless! Kunioku found a second wind of enthusiasm, and stood back up as the new pillar made his own stand. As the fight would begin anew, Kuni found himself speaking again to the crowd. The crowd that Tai Yang had left.

"Jack's a coward?" Kuni asked, looking around frantically with a puzzled look. He paused a moment, pressing the eraser of the pencil against his forhead, bobbing up and down as if in thought.

"I don't think so. I don't know about you, but I'm pretty sure the one who runs away from the fight is the coward. He was right about something though--he does push my mental boundries. I just can't comprehend how he represents our ideals, unless those ideals are being spineless and metrosexual...HAHAHAHAHA...."

[Jack]

Jack was standing tense with his arms at his sides. He was ready to kill the first thing that came within five feet of him simply because they were there. The only thing that he wasn't enraged about was Kuni because he felt that they had a kind of kindred spirit, despite the obvious differences between them. Speaking of Kuni he could be heard bouncing back onto the court energetically.

His attention was drawn to Aden. He had an arrogant swagger and Jack didn't take long to decide that he'd be taking his frustrations out on Aden. Words came from his mouth and he only had the chance to voice them because he hadn't walked within arms length when passing Jack.

It didn't matter if Aden was implying that he was going to attack Jack. The fact was Aden was a target the moment Jack had his attention on him. But what did make a difference was that Aden seemed to be as full of hot air as Tai, and that had Jack's hands trembling with rage.

Aden pulled his arms up and thrust his knee forward. It struck without resistance and Jack leaned forward half a foot, his trembling arms had been coming to intercept the blow but were late. But that was acceptable, despite the pain in his ribs, because his hands would clamp down on the leg that had attacked him like a vice.

Jack stepped back hard and pulled the leg along with him, pulling Aden off balance, and would then spin 180 degrees, in which time the body would likely fell back and hit the ground before being thrown into the crowd. While doing this he would emit a roar for the sole purpose of releasing his pent up rage.

[Aden Allett]

Aden’s knee made contact with the side of Jack’s body as he had intended. Too slow to defend himself, Jack attempted to latch onto Aden’s bent leg with both his hands. The knee was already springing back after the hit. As the hands attempted to clamp down, he spread the leg on the way down, leaving jack to grasp at air as it slid by, escaping the snare of the bulky man in front of him.

Kuni had become active again, responding to Aden’s earlier claim. It was true; the one who walked away from the fight did come off as the coward. They didn’t attend a school whose ideals were friendship and understanding. You weren’t the ‘cool kid’ when you walked away. As a pillar, it was Aden’s job to enforce the rules, but what were they? Respect the captain and his pillars? That was it. They weren’t there to make some sort of order, hell; Tai himself had already mentioned that wasn’t the goal.

Why did Tai walk away? Yes, Jack had ample opportunity to attack and he didn’t, but was that really reason to leave? Aden was questioning his own thoughts on the situation already. He was like that though; only going where the fun was at. The offer of becoming a pillar promised Aden constant action through the school and here it was, fighting some thug in a gym full of people. So that’s how things were. Aden didn’t care about Tai. They weren’t friends; they were associates through title if anything. He wouldn’t be defending him anymore, no, he’d much rather just ride out his title taking all the advantages while he had them.

As his foot hit the ground, he leaned into his left leg. Jack was slow compared to Aden. With his arms to his right side from the previous attempt to grip onto him, His face was free for attack. Leaning in, Aden threw a hard punch square for the mans nose, a hard right knee following second. As the attack began Aden spoke out loud for Kuni to hear.

“You make some good points Kuni, ones I can’t really argue with, but unlike Tai, I don’t run away from fights, so I’d like to finish this, all for the fun of it.” A large grin on his face as he spoke. Jack would be at Aden’s mercy soon enough and oh, the fun he would have. The points of Tai aside, jack was a relative piss off. An annoyance that needed to be shut up and Aden was the one there to do it.

[Jack]

Jack wasn't quite fast enough to grasp the leg and it succeeded in driving further anger through him. Normally one to enjoy a fight this was unusual, but being treated like shit by two skinny bastards wasn't exactly helping him enjoy it very much. It was like pouring McDonald's coffee on top of pancakes, it just isn't fun.

With the knee out of reach his left hand moved back to his side, his right staying where it was, and his upper body lowering another half foot as he drove forward hard. The punch that he had barely seen, as his eyes were focusing more toward waist level, would hit his forehead before full extension. It would hurt Aden's hand more than Jack's head.

By driving forward the knee that came up was just a liability. Jack hooked his left arm under the knee and continued to drive forward, ramming his head into Aden's chest just bellow the collar bone. The ram affect, and holding the leg up, would knock the last leg out from under Aden.

Jack would drive him down into the floor, despite the way his head felt light from the jarring effects of the punch and his own charge.

[Aden Allett]

(Kuni, if you want me to wait for you post order wise, just send me a PM or something. Don’t want you to feel left out and what not.)

Jack ducked down, beginning to move forward as Aden threw the punch. The attack meant for the mans nose was met with his forehead. A sting of pain went through his fist as it connected with Jack’s hard head. His arm pulled back as his knee shot forward for the raging bull. Jack threw his left arm for a grab, stopping the attack. Head on head with the big man, especially on one leg, Aden knew he couldn’t push him back on pure strength. No, he was trumped there, unfortunately.

Yes, what Aden lacked in strength, he made up for in speed. Before the furious thug had a chance to land his head in Aden’s chest or push him off balance, Aden pushed off the side of Jack with his free, right arm. His attacking leg straightened out, allowing it to sway around as Aden spun on his grounded leg, slipping away as Jack flew by.

Aden’s right leg came down onto the ground, halting his momentum. He faced the back of the large man as he went by. Lifting his arms back to head level, Aden pushed off his left leg, charging forward towards the back of the man.

As he closed the small distance, landing on his right foot, Aden twisted and threw his left knee into the side of Jack at full force. Aden’s right fist came around, throwing a hard hook into the side of the opponent’s head.

(Kind of short :/)

[Jack]

As the leg started to straighten Jack's left arm would tighten around the leg, then to prevent the leg from trying to escape further his right hand would grasp onto the ankle as well. With the opponent now to his side, thanks to the push and turn maneuver, and a straighter leg his hand would lift at the ankle to lock the knee. Then shifting to his right the knee would be lined up against Jack's left side, his ribs would throb a little where they had been struck earlier.

The weight of his body and the pulling force from his hand would carry them into the fall. If Aden came down with him it would give him a better chance to bend the leg, but should it remain in Jake's grasp the inside of the foot would likely touch the ground just in time for Jake's full weight to slam into the knee. Needless to say this would be devastating as the locked leg would only be able to try and struggle and bend, and break.

[Director Troutman]

INTERVENTION

Alright, now I've been asked to inspect this thread for potential god-moding and IDTHS. So, having read over, this is what I'm ruling on it.

Aden, you -are- going to be faster than Jack, I'll agree to that by all means. HOWEVER, his character is a powerful grappler. If he got a hold of you (as was implicitly stated at the start of your last post), lacking in brute strength you're not going to be able to just shake him off or pull away, as you've done in your last post (and, I note, several consecutive posts). I wholeheartedly want characters to exploit their strengths against their opponents weaknesses, but don't start playing like your opponent moves in slow motion. That grapple Jack landed should, by all means, have you caught. With that stated, however, I want the pair of you to come to a decision on what to do from here, be that over MSN or through PM. I've made my call, but inevitably the fight is yours to make, and as of yet the things I've seen are only skirting on any kind of infraction.

Now, nothing else will be said about it at the moment, but I do feel the need to state I -am- keeping an eye on this thread now. That's all.

Do not PM me complaining/asking about this, I feel I've been quite clear on the point. Discuss it with yourselves and find your common ground.

[Aden Allett]

Jack’s grip tightened around Aden’s leg, making escape hard to come by. Making things more difficult, Jack’s right hand grasped onto Aden’s ankle, free roam becoming impossible. His head ducked down and charging forward, Aden’s leg would begin to stumble back. The attempt to escape, pushing away, was deemed unsuccessful as he had still found himself held by the rather large man. He could feel as Jack began to shift the leg over to his left side, Aden putting up as much a struggle as possible.

With both of Jack’s Arms pulled on Aden’s leg, Aden’s clenched his left hand into a fist. Jack was preoccupied now, leaving himself completely defenseless. Before jack could lock Aden’s leg into place, his right arm planted onto his own leg, tugging away. With Jack’s superior strength, this would only delay the inevitable. As his arm planted on his leg, Aden’s left sent a horizontal uppercut for the middle of Jack’s exposed face. The impact would be met with consecutive hard jabs.

His arm would continue to tug on his own leg as the attacks flew for Jack’s face. Aden would use the leverage of the attack to pry himself from the hold of the man. One grab wouldn’t prove enough to stop him, oh no, but Jack would be taking quite the beating soon enough.

[Tai Yang]

Through the screams and cheers of the crowd no one noticed the soft thuds of the heavier steel toed boots as they hit the gymnasium floor. No eyes fell over the darkened red lensed shades that were hidden from view by a black hoodie. With his hands delved deep into the front pocket he hid his body away from his underlings, the students he was proclaimed captain of.As he moved through the crowd he kept to the outside of ring, moving around from the vantage point of being able to see the fight between Aden and Jack, Principle Davis, and the Japanese student who seemed to be more of a loud mouth imbecile then anyone he had ever seen before.

Keeping his shoulders hunched forward and his head down he continued to stalk around the ring, having proclaimed himself gone from this venue no one would be looking for him, seeing as he was apparantly helping tend to the moronic freshmen who needed to get a close up look.With his presence conceal and his eyes set he moved behind the two combatants, keeping himself behind the roid raged Jack whom seemed to contempt with staying away from the Captain of Paragon Institue, who had done everything but actually attack the Chinese-American, despite given multiple chances to do so.

Standing there he waited, watching the fight unfold with his chin down and eyes locked. One the muscle bound student had grabbed Adens leg the Captain moved forward, pushing past the first row of student and entering the ring.

Without announcing himself verbally to the fighters, nor stopping so that they could see him, he bound forward and stepped out with his right foot. Planting the ball of the steel-toed boot into the gymnasium floor he pushed off with his left, tucking his knee in and pointing it up at Jack's left shoulder and he threw his shoulders over and leaned his body to the right. As his upper body became fluid with the motion his hips turned over and he kicked out with his left foot, pulling his foot back so that the majority of the leather would connect with the side of the bulky-hulks face, while the steel-toes of the boot would connect somewhere in the upper-cheek, eye socket area. Just like all of Tai Yangs strikes it was fast, precise, and was complimented with a lot of force. But, the Paragon Junior who had claimed Captainship over the Institute wasn't done there.

Following the strong left legged headkick that used steel-toed boots to accentuate the power, he'd use a second kick, another devestating powerhouse of a kick to but the exclamation point on his notion of ideals. His left leg would land outside of Jacks shouder width, though on the other side of his body. Now with the majority of his body stationed to the outside of Jack's right side he did what came naturally from such an akward position - turn. Pushing off with his right foot he torqued his hips over while dipping down his left shoulder, once more using his whole body to create the power that his natural weight lacked, and threw his right foot out at the lower back of Jack in what's commonly called a back kick, or mule kick to some. While it was much more technically sound then just a regular mule kick the idea of it was the same. As was the fluidity of Tai Yangs motions remaining fast and direct.

While in the end most would see this as an ambush and devious act, it was in fact part of the true nature of their new Captain. He hadn't been the most noble, nor claimed to be with his actions, and had done similar things like this in the past. It just went to show the chaos and anarchy that he was bringing to the table that the Jap was so keen on yelling about. Well, it was there, plain as day, and the new kid on the block was to feel all of it - that is if he remained concious after taking a brutal kick to the side of his head.

[kuni]

(OOC: Would have made a reserved post, but didn't want to be a bitch )

Kunioku continued his dances for excitement, random words in both languages spouting from his mouth. Though Kuni was excited by the violence of the fight from Jack and Aden, the japanese exchange student seemed to be paying more attention to the other spectators, encouraging them to be as enthusiastic as he was.

Regardless, the anarchist would stay close by the fight, not intending on giving away a front row seat. Though he had seen Tai Yang push himself through the crowd and back into the room, he had paid little attention to one person in particular, not having taken a good enough look at him to know it was indeed the new Captain of Paragon Institute. When the hooded student took a step towards the center, Kuni knew exactly what was going to happen.

Though he was fond of what he had seen of Jack so far, Kunioku wasn't much of a team player. Regardless, the fact that another person (who was indeed the original person) jumped into the fight only enthused him more. What was better than a one on one fight? A group fight. The only next step up was a riot. The second his eyes saw the beginning of Tai's move, Kuni would burst into the center himself.

Doing nothing to stop the first kick-- be it both the distance and his intention not being to prevent anymore violence as much as it was to create more--Tai's first kick would be left for Jack to be dealt with himself. However, that first kick would turn Tai's back to Kuni for a second, and Kuni intended to be as backhanded as their new captain was. Initially intending to stab Tai in the back with his pencil, Kuni was surprised when Tai added in a second kick. The sudden motion from Tai would cause Kuni's body to react to the quick movement of the limb. With his left hand already in a fast downward descent to where the back was during the first kick, Kuni's pencil would stab into the right calf of the kicking leg as it passed in front of him. The greater the velocity and power of the kick made it more likely the would would tear, and likely snap the pencil in half after a good two-inch gash.

[Jack]

Jack was holding the leg, exactly as he intended, the tugging on the leg was doing little to get the leg out of Jack's grip and did not delay the inevitable because it only meant he had to move his hand another inch or two to have the grab complete. Then having shifted to his right the knee was lined up against Jack's left side, his ribs throbbing a little where they had been struck earlier.

The weight of his body and the pulling force from his hand would carry them into a fall. But that wasn't enough for others apparently, because as a punch was rising up at his face something hard smacked into his shoulder. His body tense, the grip tightened by pain, and twisting to the right against the leg while falling forward Jack would groan from the impact.

Jack would never know that a second kick had followed the first, as falling forward had it swinging just above his head during the fall, the leg that was pinned and held would have all the damage and weight of the fall transfered into the knee. By the time Jack was hitting the ground, left side first, Aden would find that his knee had been dislocated and then smashed into the ground.

[Aden Allett]

(I apologize for taking so long to post.)

Aden and Jack held their positions, jack putting most of his effort into falling forward, throwing Aden off balance, and holding onto his leg. A blur from the side of Aden’s eye threw a kick out for Jack’s side, planting onto his shoulder as Aden’s fist rose up, close to his own body, connecting with Jack’s jaw. A brief glimpse revealed Tai yang, reappearing from the fight he had already abandoned.

Whether it was a chance at redemption, a way to save face, or the man felt plain guilty for running away, Aden felt disgusted that Tai would interfere with the fight he had already left in Aden’s hands. What gave him the right to stick his face between the two combatants as they went on? Aden’s attention only remained on Tai for a second at most, the captain being interrupted by a figure he didn’t have the time to make out. Tai could show up if he liked, Aden had no problem with such a thing. Facing the scene he had attempted to leave commended some respect, but attacking his opponent was nothing honorable. He would make sure to offer Tai an earful when this was all over.

The kick seemed to throw Jack off kilter, his body twisting for his left side to land first. With the grasping of Aden’s leg, he attempted little to fight the fall. They were going down, one way or the other. As they approached, Aden tensed his body for the impact, his right arm coming up to protect his head from whiplashing onto the floor. The landing left Aden on his right side, Jack on his left. He let out a large groan, a sharp, powerful pain pulsing through his leg from the impact.

Jack’s attempt to dislocate Aden’s leg had failed, but offered a powerful punch in the process. Through the knee area was a sore pain, gridding his teeth from the outcome. Propping himself up with his right arm, Aden moved his free, left leg back slightly, bending in the process. The leg was thrown for Jack’s crotch, attempting to impact and paralyze the man from the blow.

[Tai Yang]

[Can pencils really peirce jeans that easily?]

The first kick connected, strongly at that, but not quite in the right place. This didn't matter so much as the fact that his second was going to miss. When he saw Jack go down he aimed for the back of the bulky mans head, but the distance became to great in to short a time. Also, a seperate disturbance took part of Tai Yangs concentration, a body moving in towards his back.

As his right leg extended he felt the attack of the pencil, but it didn't do as much damage as the weilder would have imagined. It did surfice in ripping his jeans, a pair that he felt most comfortable in, and he did tear his flesh, but it wasn't a deep cut, more of a minor aggitation. But that didn't quite stop his momentum, nor his blood lust. As his body whipped around he caught the look of his attacker, the Jap from before. He'd be dealt with later, but Jack was still his main target. Turning over his hips a bit further he put his right boot down just behind Aden's lower back.

Lifting up his left leg he brought his knee up toward his chest, bringing it above his waist before kicking down with his heel. Most people don't know this, but the most dangerous kick is actually a stomp, due to the recipricant's -defenseless- position, the force and area of attack. Tai Yangs area of attack was the head of Jack. There was no love loss, no hesitations or mercy. Just a straight down smash to his face.

[kuni]

(OOC: Sharpen a pencil, stab yourself in the leg and find out)

Kunioku looked at his hand, broken pencil and all.

Mother fucker ignored me.

The Japanese exchange student didn't have a problem with Jack, but his purposes here weren't to save him. Kuni was about to even forgive the boy for ignoring him, as he was doing exactly what Kuni explained: pointless violence. That was until The boy turned, making his face momentarily noticeable by the Jap. The fact that it was Tai Yang was just outrageous! He couldn't make up his mind even worse than Kuni, himself.

Point to prove, Kuni instantly whipped to his right, grabbing one of those boring enough to just watch. He pushed him forward, sending him directly into Tai Yang. Now, Kuni's timing wasn't impeccable, and Tai's foot would already be descending. It would however, bump him from behind and make his foot land up higher, becoming more of a step on Jack's chest than an attack to his face. Unless Tai was also proficient in ballet, he'd stumble and probably fall with the other two. From there, all three would find Kuni on the edge, giggling as he stomped down repeatedly on the mass of bodies, with no particular target.
