[IC] streets of blood and honor (reboot)

[Jangel13]

Angelo worked through his class. Like any other class it was just a simple math class, Angelo was board out of his mind but regardless Angelo worked hard at it to get a good grade so that he could leave his current situation and get a better life in the future. His current situation being his new gang starting to fight against the dragons, Angelo hardly had anyone on his side but those that were had real martial arts training not the stupid street fighting that most of the dragons lackeys use, really it was just them busting heads of people that cant fight back. Angelo hated thugs and bullies and Angelo hoped that the people that decided to join his gang agreed as well. Once the bell had rung for lunch period Angelo got up and took his bags heading to their "headquarters" if someone would really call it that when in reality it was really just the abandoned school building nearby, the reason it was abandoned was because of some mishap during the chemistry class and it was nearly burned down. However it stands strong as ever the school was just to cheap to bother paying someone to fix it up. Angelo walked in and went into one of the classrooms that was still mostly unburned by the fire and had all its desks and chairs still their. Angelo was leading this small group against an entire gang which seemed like an impossible goal but for now Angelo needed to lead them and point his more questionable "friends" in the right direction of their enemy. Some of his new members are aggressive to say the least and Angelo will have a hard time getting them to follow his orders but Angelo knew that he had to find a way to let them loose in the right direction. Angelo waited in the old classroom knowing that the others are meant to show up soon so Angelo can discuss with them and ask their opinion on what they should do first. Angelo was in no means unsure of himself but the road to friendship starts with trust as they say so Angelo needed to let them know that he wants their opinion and wants them to know he values it and will consider it before making a move against the dragons.

The young, ginger haired girl, perhaps one of the smallest in the class, had her head down and appeared to be eagerly taking notes, or conducting the classwork with eagerness. Amy Harper was good at school, she enjoyed it, and she wanted to get good grades. Simply to prove that she could. Beyond anything else, beyond school, she had her self-defense training. Her skills there reflected her own strengths, just like her school work did. She brushed back her hair, and looked up, glancing at the time seeing that class was nearly over. and therefore lunch. And the meeting. She shifted in her seat, and leaned back, starting to pack up, so that by the time class was over, she was packed up. She rose, slinging her pack over her shoulder, and started towards the abounded school building. She walked with a purposeful stride, not looking about. She contemplated a few things, like if she was doing the right thing here, joining this...anti--gang? She didn't know. But she knew she didn't want to sit about and do nothing, not any more. Not know that she could have a potential chance at doing something. She entered the building, figuring she could always turn back if she wanted to. She didn't have to commit right this second. She didn't speak up when she entered, preferring to stay quite for now.

Jack cracked his knuckles, looking down at the two chumps that had come to fight him. He had a free period at the end of the day, and so he was able to get out earlier. He had spent that time doing what he always did, street fighting for cash. IT was fun and helped pay the bills and it wasn't completely illegal, or was it? What ever, he'd cross that bridge when he came to it, for now he would just deal with these guys. They were members of that piece of shit gang, "The Dragon's", and had thought to try and shake him down. He had responded by kicking their asses, and then accepting payment for stopping said ass-kicking. He had earned about 100 bucks each, probably what they had extorted from others. The thought made him angry, so he gave them both an added kick to the gut, causing them to groan in pain. "Pieces of shit, the lot of you." He spat, before turning to head back to the school, remembering that he had some meeting with this guy, what was his name again, Angelo? Yeah, that guy, he was making up a gang to take out a gang. Normally, Jack wouldn't go anywhere near stuff like this, as it was usually a bunch of no nothings wimps, but the Dragon's were becoming a real problem in this neighborhood, and while he was able to protect himself rather easily, the fact was the a lot of people weren't and that did bother him. The fact that his sister could easily be one of their victims with her partying life-stle also made him realize the danger this group could be, if left unchecked. So he was going to go to the meeting, se if it had any hop of succeeding, if it did, then he was in, if it didn't, than he was out. Simple as that. Walking into the room in the abandoned school building, he remembered that he had yet to change out of his uniform, which was currently covered with some blood-spatter that had gotten on him during his fight. Damn it, that was going to be a pain to wash out and it wasn't going to make him look very friendly to the others here. Which was almost nobody, as he saw only two people there. One of them was Angelo, the other was some girl he didn't know. Pretty, blonde, kind of small. So far, his hopes weren't so high, but he would stay for a bit longer to see if any one else would show. For no, he might as well mingle. He sauntered over to the girl. raising his hand for her to shake, if she felt so inclined, the other being in his pocket. "Sup, My name's Jack Walker, and I must say that I'm a bit surprised to see someone like you here. What's your style, if you don't mind me asking, mine's a mix of Capoeria and MMA."

[Demon Shinobi]

The day had been rather uneventful. No fights, no real reason to draw any attention to himself. Koichi Nakamura was the 'him' in question. A young man who barely stood out. His clothing was chosen specially to hide his physique. To most he had an average physique, no really upstanding qualities. Truth is he was intelligent. Smarter than grades or tests reflected anyway. His masters often told him to that it would be fine to do something more outstanding but he preferred to lay low. Koichi honestly generally didn't like making waves, but that was all about to change. He'd heard about the gang forming to take on The Dragons. If it meant taking down that rotten group he didn't mind if he ended up much more well known. Thus, he could calmly make his way to the abandoned school building. Walking to the classroom he was almost sure this place could be fixed up. Maybe with a little elbow grease it could make a pretty decent base of operations. Well, that was if this thing even panned out properly. Enterin te room Koichi immediately took notice of the three people. Two guys and one girl. He entered just as one man introduced himself to the girl. Jack Walker, huh? He seems trained. All three of them do. he thought taking note of Jack's announcement of his styles. He put on a smile as he stepped to the side and leaned against the wall. How would this scene play out? Based on his words, it didn't seem that Jack expected te girl to be tough. Still it'd be interesting if she was. Koichi was already interested in this all. He wanted the chance to see where it would lead, if it led anywhere at all.

[MarshiestMallow]

Amy watched the boy come over to her, and wasn't surprised that he said he didn't expect someone like her to be there. She just smiled, and said "Amy Harper. I use Krav Maiga and Karate" She smiled sweetly, and took the offered hand, stepping in towards Jack, she moved swiftly, planting herself so that her hips were beneath Jacks, pulling him towards her, and for a moment, it might seem intimate. She performed the rest of the moves, squatting slightly, and perfectly balanced, she pulled him over her shoulder slightly, and as she straightened, she flipped him over her shoulder. Again, that same, sweet, kind smile as she held out her hand to help him up. Her hair fell over her eyes, but she shook her head, the hair out of her eyes as she looked down at Jack. "And that's all the advantage I need. People expect what they see." Amy knew that all people would see when they looked at her. A small girl who looked like she couldn't take care of herself. And then she would kick their butts. She rolled her shoulders as she waited for Jack to take her hand, "I hope I didn't hurt you. I know the floor can be hard when you hit it like that" She said, concern entering her voice now. While she normally wouldn't draw attention to herself like this, she had been trying to become more confident, as both her Master and her father encouraged her to do so. Still, her cheeks were red, and she didn't meet Jack's eyes, squirming slightly, realising now that she was probably being watched by the others in the room, and no doubt that Jack was watching her. Since she had flipped him.

[PhoenixEye9]

Milo was sitting in the back of his room, his blue eyes closed while he focused on what was happening in life. His teachers hated that he never applied himself, but once they realized it was useless to try and make him do his work they just let him do what he does. When he tests they come out phenomenal and when he does the work its good, but you can't make it happen. It's a good thing they learned because messing with Milo right now with so much on his mind wouldn't have Milo in the best of moods. Though most things can't get to him, he was about to join in starting a revolution against the Dragons. Who wouldn't have that phasing them? The bell rang and Milo wouldn't have noticed if it wasn't for him noticing something just out of the corner of his eye, one kid with a dragon tattoo meaning now even in school kids were recruited. Milo knew it was probably happening but now he knew it was a badge of honor. Following him out the door, Milo could hear the boys pride in it, the pride of him being able to run everything. "He'll learn one day," Milo thought, "even a mighty elephant is scared of a little mouse for a reason." Milo proceeded to the "headquarters" finding the classroom he walked in and looked at everyone, a rag tag team indeed, but this team is the mouse the elephant is scared of... but now its biting it's own tail. "So... why is he on the floor?"

[Raijinslayer]

Jack was surprised when the girl flipped him, what had he done to deserve that!?! When she finished her statement, he groaned, that wasn't what he had meant by what he had said, dammit. An innocent observation, that was all, oh well at least he knew she could fight well. Krav Maga and karate huh, he didn't no much about either but they seemed to be efficient. "No problem, I've been through worse," He said as he took her hand to help him up. Once he was fully up, however, he struck like a viper, moving his right leg in between hers and sweeping swiftly to the side, letting go of her hand as she fell. Once on the ground he'd make a move to punch her, stopping just short of actually hitting her in the face. "And now we're even. Top 2 Rules of streetfighting, never let your guard down, which I did, and never help your opponent up, which you did. Not only do some find that insulting, but it leaves you open to cheap shots. But still, impressive speed and form, you know your stuff and can probably handle yourself rather well in a fight, nice to meet you." He gave the girl a nod, taking a look at the other two who had walked in. "And to answer your question, a misunderstanding. I assume she thought I was belittling her skill when I said a=I was surprised to see a her here, which wasn't the case. I just wasn't expecting any girls to be here, as I hadn't heard of any girls around her that had that did any kind of fighting that wasn't catfighting."

[Jangel13]

He said she didn't look like she belonged here, sometimes a fist will say more then words ever can but I encourage you not to fight each other often. cant exactly make this work if we fight each other over simple things Angelo said sighing a little as he got up and stood in front of the desk to make sure he had everyone's attention before he spoke about the dragons. "everyone we are here to discuss a serious problem. I am sure you all have heard of the dragons, the exploit everyone, beat people that cant stand up to them, and they disgrace our art that we all have learned for years. Martial arts isn't about hurting people just cause you can, we all have our reasons for learning to fight and I wont blame you for not agreeing with my sentiment about how fighting is meant to get stronger but to protect people that cant protect themselves. We are all here because I purpose we join together and form our own gang, I say that we the ones that can truly fight should take them on. I will not force any of you to join with me cause lets face it this will be dangerous taking on a gang like this but I will fight no matter what cause I will not stand aside another minute while they might be beating down someone to the dirt for pocket money. For some of you this is a way to vent out your anger to someone who really deserves it and for all of us to put our skills to the real test. The choice is yours, I will not force you into a commitment but can you really leave knowing you can truly fight, that you can truly make a difference to everyone that lives here, and that you will be known as martial artist. that choice is yours. just know that the second you agree to fight things will get ugly fast for us while I cant promise we will win every fight I will promise that those that fight with me will never be forgotten and will always be helped. the choice is yours Angelo said taking a breath once he finished his speech and he sat back down in his seat waiting for their responses....

[MarshiestMallow]

Amy's breath rushed out in a "Woosh" as she found herself on the ground. She supposed she deserved that, and she started to laugh, breathlessly. It caused her to probably look like a baffoon as she tried to catch her breath, laughing silently. It took her a few moments, but she soon had her breath caught. Her face was red, from the laughing, as she sat up, and looked to Jack. "Girls get set upon by the dragons, too Jack. And it can be a lot worse for them. Unless those in the dragons swing to males, that is" her eyes went distant, remembering how she had nearly been such a victim. She shook her head, and sighed, "I wanted to be able to defend myself. To defend others" She said, falling silent as Angelo rose to talk. She swallowed, looking down at her hands, still sitting on the floor, making no move to get up. She sighed again, and shifted crossing her legs, listening still. "I don't want to be one of those people that just turn the other cheek when someones being hurt. I don't want to just think, 'thank god it's not me'. I want to be able to help them, to be able to protect them. And perhaps most important, I don't want to be a victim" she said when the guy had finished speaking, before falling silent once more.

[Raijinslayer]

Jack nodded in agreement to what Amy said, remembering a couple nights ago where he caught some of those Dragon chumps trying to force themselves on some girls in an alley. The girls ran out screaming, the thugs came out when the ambulance and the cops had arrived to drag their pitiful asses out. "I have a sister, so you don't have to tell me. n fact, it was for that very reason you stated that I didn't think any girls would show. Less chance of becoming a target that way." Turning to face Angelo, he couldn't help but tune out a majority of what he said. He didn't fight to protect others, that was just a nice bonus, he fought for the rush of it, the feeling of adrenaline in his veins, the exctasy of the thrill, that was why he fought, that was what summoned his inner demon that had made him feared by many in the street fighting circuit. But that didn't mean he was blind to the needs of those around him, these Dragon's needed to be slain, no if's, ands, or buts about it. "I may not agree with you on some of the things you just said, but I do agree that those fuckers need to be stopped. If you guys thing you can do it, then I see no problem in joining up in this dragon hunt of yours."

[PhoenixEye9]

"I'm game," Milo said the blue eyes staring straight into Angelo's. "Time to show the dragons why even an elephant is scared of a mouse. Before we start though I'm going to make it clear, I won't throw the first punch I won't start the fight, but I will gladly end it." Milo's thoughts quickly dragged him back to his first fight his eyes drifting their heavy stare. He went back to the moment he first really got torn in himself. One side loved the pain he caused and the feeling of victory and freedom and knowing he was strong, but the other side hated himself possibly ruining kid's lives... his thoughts continued to drift deeper

[Demon Shinobi]

Having actually watched the display Koichi couldn't help, but let a small laugh escape through his mouth. "Oh... My..." His laughter cut off the sentence for a moment. He hadn't quite expected that, but he was glad he got to witness it. He knew after this he'd have to introduce himself possibly or at least apologize for laughing, but still, he couldn't help it. Then, Jack decided to retaliate. His words were correct, but it kind of felt like he just wanted a little payback. Koichi wouldn't say that of course. He wasn't really used to these people just yet. Then, he heard a question. Somebody wanted to know why he was on the floor. "S-sorry... What? Oh... Yeah... Um..." He was going to answer the next person who showed up, but soon Jack did himself. "Right... I guess that was it." He said as he straightened himself out a bit. "You should have been here. I got a real kick out of it myself." He admitted before glancing at Jack. "Sorry for laughing... And... Kind of enjoying the sight." At this point it was all in good fun, and his sincerity could be seen on his face as he rubbed the back of his head. That was about the time the one who called for this meeting began to speak. Angelo was his name. He made good points, even if his speech was a bit long. Still he liked the charisma. He could follow this guy. And the whole subject left him enough incentive to fight. "I don't know about everyone else here, but I'll lend you my strength for this fight. I've got a bit of a score to settle with The Dragons anyway." He said with a small smile. "I'm Koichi Nakamura, Karate and Jujutsu disciple. If you have my back I'll have your's." Straightforward and to the point he spoke honestly. And with that it seemed to be settled. And without another word on that matter he offered a hand to Amy. "I know Jack said you shouldn't help up an opponent, but I'm sure the same rule holds no meanings for allies. Or well, future allies." He said to her so as to let her know he came in peace.

[Jangel13]

Then on this day we will join together and we will not only rival the dragons gang we will take them down till they have no strength to abuse anyone ever again. Angelo said grinning at them knowing that his speech was long but it was also inspiring and that's what was important. Angelo got up and walked out towards the door follow me everyone, were going to strike the first blow against the dragons by taking a hideout today. This was just the meeting spot our real home will come from our enemy Angelo said smiling as he lead the way towards one of the abandoned classrooms inside the school, this particular classroom used to be an advanced history class so their were book everywhere and it had more then enough room for at least 20 people if not more. Angelo walked towards the classroom but stopped short of the door last chance to back out now. Angelo said softly so the dragons wouldn't hear them

[MarshiestMallow]

Amy smiled and accepted the hand, pulling herself up. "You have to trust people to become better" She said, brushing herself down when she was standing. "Maybe we can help each other with the karate" She said brightly, taking the leap and saying that, as she looked around at the othes, who all seemed content to be a part of this. She was a little nervous to be going out, to be fighting right away, and for a brief second she wondered if she would just be burden to them. Guys had an odd sense of honor and purpose, and even though they knew she could fight, would they be honor bound to protect her? She would just have to make sure that didn't happen, she thought to herself, as she left her pack in the classroom, not waiting it to be a burden as she fought. She swallowed, and tied back her hair so that it wouldn't get in her eyes, but also enough so that it couldn't be used against her, up in a bun so that it couldn't easily be grabbed. She followed Angelo out of the classroom, staying silent and just nodded.

[Demon Shinobi]

"True." Koichi responded. "And yeah. That would be great." He referred to helping each other with Karate. Wihtout much else to say he listened to Angelo once more. It seemed they'd be going off right away. Nobody seemed particularly nervous. Well... Maybe Amy. He chuckled and gave her a quick pat on the back. "Relax. It's just a fight." He didn't know why she was nervous so he didn't try to give advice or say anything else. But given he was confident in his ability and he wasn't sure any of the dragon's could match up to Ryo or his aunt he simply remained calm. The smile on his face, however, would soon fade when they reached the door. He breathed in and soon exhaled. It wouldn't be smart not to take a fight seriously from the start. Even if it was the dragons. Now all that was left, was to fight it seemed. "I don't know about these guys, but I'm not backing out." He was more serious now, giving off a much more battle feeling as he rolled up his baggy sleeves. If he was gonna be fighting more it'd probably be smart to get more form fitting clothes. A problem for later though. "Let's just try and make this quick. I missed lunch." He gave a slight joke despite the mostly serious air about him.

[Raijinslayer]

Jack nodded as Angelo concluded his speech, glad that it was over. He had enough of fancy talk when he had to speak to his parents, who took 5 minutes to ask him how his day was. He followed Angelo to the dragon's hideout, moving past him when he stopped and proceeding to kick the door down, a smile on his face as he did so. "Hello there, you dragon bitches. The Ice Blue Devil has come to collect his dues, so pay up with your blood." Jack walked in cracking his neck a little after he put on his brass knuckles, and loosening up for the fight. "Oh, and please scream as loud as you can when I break your face, it's more fun that way." Did Jack mean that, hell no, he wasn't a psychopath, but he could sure act like one. It was part of his street fighting schtick, as well as something he did to unnerve his opponents. People generally don't like to fight crazy people, as they are very unpredictable. He took a stance, bouncing up and down to a rhythm only he could hear as he eyed his opponents. If he was out-numbered, which was great as that was what Capoeria excelled at dealing with.

[Jangel13]

Angelo sighed when he saw jack go up and just kick the door down so that meant their was one option time to start our rise Angelo said before he walked in and took a muay tai stance and said This hideout belongs to us now, if you want to leave with all your bones intact I suggest you run, fast They immediately laughed them both off but Angelo quickly went in and elbowed someone in their jaw no doubt a grunt since he didn't defend against the strike but once he strike him they got serious Get Them! the leader called out obviously a low guy on the totem pole of influential people of the dragons but still someone who could talk to the superiors and tell them what is going to happen. They 20 dragons started to rush them with wooden swords, chains, and even books as they rushed us...

[PhoenixEye9]

Milo followed Angelo to the other classroom... and then quickly sighed as the lean blonde boy kicked the door in. "You know what, not even gonna question brohan... lets just get this going" As the charging started Milo waited, taking a solid chop down onto his right side collar bone with a wooden sword, now he was allowed to react. As the next swing came down Milo grabbed his attackers hand with his left, twisted the arm to the right and quickly swung his leg up pushing down snapping the grunts arm. Next that came was a guy with a chain who got a solid whip into Milo's face, "great another scar" Milo thought as he grabbed the other guys arm pulling him in as Milo pulled up his leg exposing the dudes throat for an eagle claw, but before Milo could do what he wanted he got hit in the face with a book knocking him off balance. "Really dude a book?" "Yeah I hit you with a book," "Not cool man" Milo said as he palm-striked the guy in the face "Oh so you're just gonna palm me in the face?" "No" Milo said before some guy hit him with a fist, "You know what? Not coo--" He didn't finish his sentence before getting kneed in the gut. Milo got up pretty quick, but pretty winded grabbing the guy who just kneed him, first by the arm and holding him in front of Milo (doing his best at least) as he charged into the guy who hit him with the book, knocking them both over. Turning his attention to the chain guy who stood there a little stunned by watching the sheer stupidity of the moment. Going over to him Milo disarmed him throwing the chain off into the background. After that, he just cheap shotted the guy, no point in wasting time or energy. Going back to the other two he found the chain laying on top of them as they were working on getting up while in the mob of people, Milo just took out their arms and tied them up with the chain.

[Raijinslayer]

A guy charged him with a book, further cementing his theory that all dragon's are morons of the highest order. He grabbed the book as the grunt swung it at him, grabbing said grunt by the shoulder as he ripped the book out of the grunt's hands and proceeded to beat him across the face with it. "Hey.Bam Bitch.Bam You.Bam Just.Bam Got.Bam Annnnnd he's unconscious, damn, at least man up enough to let me finish my joke." Jack dropped the grunt as two more charged him from either side, doing a nand stand as he spun-kicked both attacker's right in their jaw, before flipping back up with a 'Whoop'. 'Man, the fight barely started and their dropping like flies.' Suddenly a yell came from his side as he saw that Milo guy break one of the grunt's arms. 'Yikes, glad he's on our side, man, that's a brutal style if I ever saw one.' Re-focusing on his fight, he was met with a swing to the face by one of the sword wielding grunts, opening a cut on his face as it hit. Jack went with the flow of the strike, using the momentum to power his iwn kick, a spining reverse roundhouse right to the guy's face, following it up with a jab to the throat then a kick to the balls. He'd held back on the throat punch so he didn't kill the guy, but he'd gone full throttle with the cheap nutshot, nit caring if the guy lost his ability to procreate. If he was in this gang, he didn't deserve it anyway.

[MarshiestMallow]

Amy winced as Jack just kicked the door down, effectively starting the fight. She wasn't surprised to see the variety of weapons the dragons fought with. She swallowed, and as one charged her with a wooden sword, she just starred at them. "Hey! No fair, why do I get the girl?" they said, At least she's cute" Amy just watched him draw nearer, and then she was moving in a smooth style, using a combination of both Krav Magyar and karate, She countered a blow even before the guy started it, darting in quickly, and back, using both her side and speed to dodge attacks. She was fluid, and flexible, her training as a dancer effective in the fighting. She soon had the guy flipped, and after straddling him, she punched him into unconsciousness, two quick punches to the face, and rolled away from another blow, launching herself up and away from an attack. She blocked a blow with an effective karate block, and smoothly threw a punch, darting back in, and throwing an upper cut to her next opponents stomach, causing his breath to come out in a "woosh" before he recovered, she stepped on his foot, swept his legs out from under him, and thrown a brutal kick to his face, breaking his nose, sending blood flying. She stood up straight, and looked around at the other Dragons around her. "Anyone else?" she said, as two charged her, one with a chain, the other with a book. The chain hit her along one shoulder, her side, and she moved with the blow, swinging out a side ways kick, getting the guy in the stomach, and spun about, throwing an easy punch towards the second one. She was not going to get hit by a damn book.
