The streets were dark and gloomy, this part of town would usually be populated by crackheads, the homeless and cockroaches, and In East Rage district, those three weren't mutually exclusive. But tonight they weren't around, they cleared out, they were scared. There was a dangerous presence here, a confrontation. 4 men from the viciously notorious Water Dragon Triads. They had confronted a very dangerous street fighter who had just shown up to the Stone Gym, he was invited by Missy Stone from jail, but they were not about to let him.
Mr Chambers, the Water Dragon has no current issues with you, but I'm afraid you wont be able to use this Gym, you know that the triads control the flow of dope through this district and our 'customers' need Somewhere to shoot up.I understand that some other random vigilantes are supposed to be meeting here, I'm not sure what this is all about but Lesser Captain Chi is in the same prison as Ms Stone and has informed us. Now you will have to leave the district, your kind isnt welcome here Mr Chambers, this is a Triad district.
The calm but visibly sadistic captain smirked slowly, as he turned around to see his 3 henchmen soldiers all pull out a weapon each, Nunchucks, Butterfuly Knives and a wooden training sword. He turned back to Dante Chambers and folded his arms in smug contempt.
So Mr Chambers, are you going to heed our gracious warning or are me and the Water Boys going to have to FUCK YOUR SHIT UP?
After getting the time and place to meet, Dante found himself walking down the dark streets with a demeanor of wanting to take care of business. His eyes switched back and forth to notice not a single crackhead, Homeless, or cockroaches could be seen. Hell, not even a 2 dollar ho on the side giving a douche bag deep throat in a phone booth. It was normal to see that but it was as if Dante felt he was going to find out the reason why it was so quiet.
Once the gym came into sight for the fighter, he was welcomed by a fake ass Ip Man wannabe as he came forth giving him the rundown of what's happening and what will happen if he didn't leave and let the Triads continue doing what they're down. Looking at the guy who spoke and his back up that were holding weapons, Dante gave a nod and smirked "Oh...I'm sorry...well pardon the fuck me then...didn't know who I was fuckin with...excuse me sir...."
Dante took a quarter turn before swiftly throwing a quick right cross, aiming for Xao's chin to show that Dante wasn't going to back the fuck up for no one.
Xao laughed under his breath, he heard all the stories about Dante Chambers, he knew this man was essentially fearless and there was no way he was going to back down, offering him a chance to walk away was a formality, Xao WANTED a fight. His mind went calm as he watched the position of Dante's stance as he took a small angle as he was 'turning away'. And then thats when it came, a roaring right hand straight punch aimed straight for the Triad's chin. Xao expected it and raised his forearm to block
How fucking stupid do you think I am Mr Chambers?, Okay Waterboys, lets skin this Idiot alive and the we can...AHHH
Crrrrunchhh! Xao blocked the attack succesfully but his forearm didnt like the punch at all, Dante threw the punch with an impact of a sledge hammer and it slammed into Xao's arm painfully as he absorbed the shot!
Ahhh you fuck, youre DEAD!
And with that threat the first henchman approached Dante like a gust of wind, snapping a low kick aimed at his right knee which made a sound like a whip as it impacted hard, and then Xao who was still reeling in pain, shot out a lighting fast palm thrust, striking Dante Square in the chest and knocking him back a few inches. The other 2 henchman had already circled behind Dante, each getting ready to attack with vicious round house kicks to Dante's blindside.
What? you expected a fair fight Mr Chambers? these are the Streets Of Rage or did your dumbass forget?!
Flooded the alleys as Kai "Thunder-Kid" Williams grinded down a stair railway on his roller blades. Roller blading is so fun, and is such a good trick for getting out of trouble when he's not looking for it. Kai loved the rush, and the way the air parted around him as he surged forward on top of the metal railing. Kai jumped off, twisting a hundred and eighty degrees before landing and bending his knees. He shook his fist in excitement, self-congratulating himself. "Nailed it." He commented.
With the surprise letter from Missy Stone, Kai almost set off immediately. He also hated what the streets have become, however he wasn't old enough in the past two events where the gangs took over. Now, again, but this time Kai was older, and more training. Kai was more ready than ever. This area was particularly rough, the so called Water Dragons controlled this place, mainly through drug trades and muscle. Fortunately for Kai, Thunder did not mix well with water. It was actually quite a shock when he turned the corner, twisting around again to face forward, to see at least four of them fighting one man, right outside the gym he meant to be at. This wasn't good at all.
Kai lowered his torso, skating faster. "Hey!" He yelled, trying to get their attention. Kai drifted to the wall, and jumped up towards it as he got closer to the group. As he pushed off the wall, he pulled his right fist back, and as he propelled forward, he extended the fist outwards, trying to punch one with the butterfly knife right in the head. Kai planned to roll forward on landing and immediately turn to face the other three.
Smiling at that moment, from the damage he did to Xao's forearm, Dante watched on and was ready for the attacks that were to come as one of the henchmen gave Dante a sound kick to the right knee which, even with him bracing himself, it still stung. Dante couldn't counter since the fact Mr. Fucked up forearm swiftly assisted with a palm attack to the chest being knocked back.
Dante noticed the two that just attacked him but like back when he fought in unfair fights times before, he knew that he'd get jumped from all sides when he didn't see the other two in sight. Dante not taking the time to think about it, instinctively got into a peek-a-boo guard, crouched and dashed forward to try and get out of range of the two who was more than likely trying to hit him from behind. Since Xao was already hurt, he dashed straight for the one that kicked him as he opened his hands slightly in his peek-a-boo guard just in case he needed to deflect or grab any next on coming attacks from Xao if he tried.
Watching the two closely, he went to step on the foot of the one that attacked his knee so to go for an attempt to elbow strike the left side of his head and spin so to use the guy as a shield if anyone was to try and attack Dante from behind. Dante heard someone calling out but didn't bother to look at who it was since his focus was on the fight at the moment. Was it help for the Water Dragons or was it the cavalry who Stone recruited? He was going to find out.
Xao was disturbed by Dante's smile, in this situation any normal man would have been terrified, but Xao had to remind himself that Dante 'New blood' Chambers was not Normal in any way. The man was outnumbered but moving deceptively fast for his stocky build, already getting a super fast approach on the henchman #1 the one who just kicked him. Xao tried to interrupt his approach but the 'peakaboo' stance was a rock hard defense when done properly, and Dante had obviously been training.
SWWWWAPPPP!!!
Xao attempeted to back-hand strike Dante with his non-sprained arm but the the parry was even deadlier than the attempted block, the peakaboo postion allowed Dante to raise his own forearm at an angle and impact against the traid captain's wrist to parry. The result ended in a sickening snap as Xao's wrist clicked in a ver unnatural direction, anyone watching would think Xao's bones were made of glass, but it was all technique.
Fuuuckk, what the....Li, watch that guard....hes....shit! someone fucking STAB THIS FOOL.
The butterfly knife wielding Henchman #3 silently nodded, and like lightning was already moving in positon to shank Dante in the back, just as he completed his parry, but the eccho of a young man's scream filled the alley way and distraced him for a split second in time for.....
KKKKKAPPPWOOOWW
There wansn't even time for the henchman to think, out of nowhere the The Thunder-Kid had smacked the living daylights out of him. The punch was a roaring smite from the blindside, having being propelled off the wall at an angle aided by gravity and razor sharp technique the knife weild henchman didn't stand a chance. #3 went spinning from the punch, dropping his knife and sailing right into the dumpster bins on the side of the back alley....One-Punch Surprise Attack Knock-Out.
The brawl continued, with Dante now clear to continue his attack, he cracked Henchman #1 in the face with a short sharp elbow strike, really feeling the weight behind his own attack as the smaller henchman staggered, but didn't quite succumb to the attack, as he was braced for it. As Dante went to grab the man for a human shield attack, the Henchman countered with a 'can opener# grapple break smacking Dante's forearm's outward with both arms and countering with two quick punches in his chest, and regaining his stance.
Xao, whos arms were both fairly useless, took a short backstep before letting loose with vicious side kick that smacked into Dante's right shoulder, while he was vulnerable after his grapple break, the kick was enough to knock him slightly off balance, while henchman #1 now attempts to capitalize and try and trip Dante with a low sweep.
Henchman #2 who has just seen his fellow Water Dragon get blindside KTFO'd now pulled out the nunchucks and took stance as he swung them in a showy fashion figure 8, and snapped two neck-pass strikes at Kai Williams, one aimed at his face and another at his torso.
Henchman #2: I'll teach you martial arts, Lucky-punch Roller Boy!
“You realize what you're doing is career suicide right Mike?”
“Yeah after the 15th time you've told me that.”
“Well I have to keep telling you because YOU DON'T LISTEN!”
“I was listening, except for everything you just said...”
“GGGGGRRRRRR...”
“I'm kidding! But I'm still not going back, not yet at least.”
Mike Hardwick spoke into the bluetooth headset as he eyed the really sad looking streets and buildings he slowly drove past. He knew Rage City was kind of a shit hole but seeing it all in person really confirmed it. He stuck out of it all like a sore thumb too, a nice rental sports car, custom made gray vested shirt and slacks with leather shoes. Mike wasn't one to care though, he wasn't about to lower his personal standards just because of where he was.
“Look I'll call you later Dave, I'm almost at the site...”
“For the love of God Mike I'm finished as your...”
Mike hung up on his agent before he had to listen to yet more whining and complaining. The guy was right of course, giving up a prestigious title shot just for personal payback was a reckless move. He didn't understand the ramifications though. Max Thunder wasn't just his teacher, he was a role model, someone to look up too when everything around him just looked the same. The RCPD weren't doing a damn thing about the murder, and Mike was just too frustrated to let the charades go on like this without getting involved.
As he reached the address of the gym everyone was meeting up Mike pulled up onto the curb of a nearby parking space and killed the engine. Sighing as he locked the car thankful that he got insurance on it because frankly he wasn't sure the thing would be there when he got back. As Mike turned the corner though he quickly realized the gym seemed to be a bit... busy... at the moment. A group of Chinese looking guys beating up two random other guys. Certainly not quite how he excepted this whole thing to begin.
“Uh, you guys mind scooting out of the way? I got some business to take care of in the gym...” Mike called out hoping it was some weird random thing he didn't have to get involved with. The suit was expensive, he wasn't letting it get drenched in some asshole's blood.
Kai put up his fists, ready to block the oncoming attacks, using his forearms to take on the brunt of the nunchucku. It was fortunate that Kai was wearing his plates, otherwise that two pronged attack would have hurt a LOT more than it did, still, if he took more hits like that, he wouldn't last much longer. If this guy wanted to see some martial arts, then Kai would happily oblige. With a smirk, Kai pushed the henchman away with a palm strike, using that momentum to roll backwards a bit too on the skates. Kai charged forward with the added distance to put some extra power behind the oncoming sidekick. Kai raised his left leg up, slicing through the air, trying to use the extra inch of wheels to hit the goon with. After completing the kick, Kai used the spinning motion to follow up with a right roundhouse kick, also aimed to the head. Hopefully, these kicks would be enough to send the guy reeling, but instead of hoping, Kai planted his feet down and pushed forward to keep in the inside of the fight. Kai went for a left cross, going diagonally downwards across the body. A three attack combo should have been enough. He hoped it was enough, there was still two more to fight.
It was then that a third contestant arrived at the scene, presumably heading for the gym. It was fortunate that he had confirmed Kai's suspicions, another fighter should even the odds. "Hey! Us too! These guys are blocking the way!" Kai called out, trying to wave him over. Stupidly, Kai had naively left himself blindly open as he tried to persuade the suited man.
After his first attempts to fight back and getting a lick or two in parrying and using his elbow strike, His hold on henchmen #1 didn't last as his grapple break put Dante in a position that left him open enough to get tagged in the chest twice and then stumble from the kick to the shoulder.
Dante at first thought of these guys as some everyday gang scrubs but these guys were actually a nuisance now and it was getting aggravating with their stubborn attempts to stay conscious and lay the brawler out. A serious look came upon his eyes "You know...I'm gonna stop playing around with you bitches." as the henchmen went for the low sweep, Dante stepped his left leg back and lifted his right leg to avoid the sweep and went for a downward superman punch to put some of his weight behind it to hopefully connect and and rock this dude. If that worked, he was going to go for a ground and pound to unleash an 8 hit combo utilizing his fists and elbow but, just in case Xao wanted to step in, he was going to stay alert with his surroundings to counter any kick, which was all he could fight with now, that he'd try and attempt on him.
Dante could hear someone asking for them to move so he could get into the gym. Without looking, he spoke up "The quicker you knock that crippled arm fuck out, the quicker we can get in."
The military issue gray rain coat fluttered in the wind as she hurried towards the gym, an excited grin already spreading across her face as she got closer and closer in excitement of meeting her rival once again! Though she was sure it was not to be in person she was at least interested in what the girl had to say, after all it may even lead to her freedom and in turn to their final battle!
She had not been within this city for a few years now, not since those fools hired her to defend their worthless asses against Missy. She had failed and in turn one of them was killed in the ensuing battle. Some times the solider wondered what would have come of this city if she had stopped Missy, or at least hurt her enough to think twice of killing... It was not her place to worry about such things, she couldn't think about such things but even so here she was at her rivals request in this god forsaken city to take up arms to correct her mistake. An angel within a city of devils.
"Heh... An angel without their wings as they say."
Val's downcast glare was suddenly drawn to the sounds of battle that she was getting closer too, and once again her grin returned to her face! Picking up the pace once again her jackboots slamming into the concrete below as she cared not for stealth or silence within this city, the sounds of the fight would easily cover up her approach. A few moments and she had arrived, the sight of the street brawl was a nice once but it seemed one side was becoming more and more outmatched by the moment, a foolish battle to try and join in on and one that would not give her any sort of satisfaction. She would remain there, cloaked in darkness and review the other fighters, after all this way she would have an advantage on them. She did not even flinch when one of the henchmen slammed into a dumpster next to her, she had to wonder if that was all he had or if he would rejoin the fight, despite them looking like common mooks they were keeping their own rather well after all.
#1 Henchman was pissed, his low sweep missed but because of the force he put into the kick, it left him terribly off balance, he was open for the counter attack....CRAASSSHHHH. Dante Chambers hit the triad gangster like freight train, his stocky build was perfect for these kind of attacks, the much smaller henchman didn't have the strength or the equlibrium to stop it, he hit the floor with his back smacking against the hard paved floor, with nearly 180lbs of black fury on top of him imposing his will and rage. Warm sprays of blood were flying from the face of the downed triad, one of which flew in the direction of Mike Hardwick and splattered on his grey vest.
Crunch...SMACKK...CRACKKSH...WHACCKK...
Blow after blow rained down on #1 henchman's face, his once cocky smirk was being pounded into bloody hamburger meat, by the much larger Dante, the sounds were sickening, after 4 hits it got the attention of Xao who was now visibly terrified seeing two new vigilantes entering the scene.
Ahhh what the fuck is going on? where did all these bastards come from? Some army bitch and pro wrestler? does Missy Stone think its '93 again? Mr Chambers I'm going to kill you now. All this noise weve been making is sure to get hisattention now, and ALL OF YOU WILL BE DEAD.
Xao winced as he reached out with his sprained wrist, but was able to reach over to one of the dropped butterfly knives and hold it in his backhand, ready to stab Dante in the back. His hand raised over him as he landed his 7th ground punch to the now barely twitching henchman's face. His hand descended fast but never reached the target.....A red leg hit him with the force of an aluminium bat.
Xao flew side ways and smashed into the alleyway brick wall, he hit the wall forearm first which made a sickening CRACKK sound as it was further fractured.
Arggghhhhh MY ARM!!!! , who the fuck was that? where did that come from?
I'm Matt Marcus, Bitch. And that's what you get for scratching the paint on my FUCKING bike!
Matt Marcus had just hit Captain Xao with a roaring side kick that would have made his Tae Kwon Do Instructor very proud. He stood tall and angry clenching his fists just arriving on the scene on his Motorcycle.
On the other side of the fight, Henchman #3 had just laid two semi succesful stikes on Kai Williams, who was now loading up on a vicious combo, the first kick was blocked, as the henchman raised his nunchucks at a successful angle and protected himself. The second follow up kick had more momentum, it flowed so smoothly, forceful but graceful. The henchman attempted to block this one too but the added force kiced the nunchucks out of his hand, leaving him open for the lighting quick body punch which rocketed into his gut, which robbed him of his breath.
Henchman #3 OOOF you fucking brat, I'm not some punk brawler, you know Chinese boxing?
The triad assumed the traditional stance and gritted his teeth and countered hard with a swaying right hook into Kai's gut which landed HARD, and followed with a spinning back elbow which glanced across Kai's cheek, before returning to stance ready for the next attack, spitting blood out of his mouth as he snarled with rage.
.....In the shadows heavy footsteps were heard thudding over to the scene, the rats that were squeaking suddenly went quiet. Right behind Mike and Valentina was the imposing figure of....
HEH....HEH.....BIG WRESTLER MAN AND CAMO LADY.....YOU FUCK WITH THE WRONG DRAGONS TONIGHT....HONG WILL MAKE YOU CRY...HONG LIKE IT WHEN PIGLETS CRY....HEH HEH
Hong Lee, followed up his odd intro by grabbing Valentina's wrist, ready to throw her across the alley way like a rag doll.
Getting the not very subtle hint that the others were all apparently on Missy Stone's mailing list. Though needless to say the others were impressive, even as the numbers were against them they were holding their own. Mike had to question the kid on roller blades though. Max told him about how one of the people who he was with when the city was cleaned up last time had roller blades, and Mike had as hard a time understanding it then as he was now.
Things only got more interesting as first a lady in military gear and a guy street biker guy both had showed up. Valentina stood next to him and seemingly wasn't paying him any mind as she watched on. Mike glanced over at her already getting weird vibes from her. She seemed to be enjoying watching the hand to hand combat a BIT too much. Still if he had to do this sort of thing with anyone. It should be crazy people who enjoy fighting in a way that is creepy.
Turning around Mike adjusted his tie a little at the very large... thing. “Well, at least I'm known around these parts.” Mike noted to himself aloud as he watched Hong quickly grab Valentina's wrist. Reacting quickly Mike grabbed a nearby filled garbage can. Letting the junk fall out as he jumped up, throwing down a rain of trash and the trash can's opening down onto Hong's head and body. Hopefully crazy lady could actually defend herself.
Valentina only took a quick glance over to Mike as he stood along side her, though the battle was far more interesting at the moment so soon her attention was returned to the street brawl that was going on but it seemed her peaceful show was about to come to a end. Turning to the sound of the footsteps that she could swear she could feel before she even heard them her gaze stopped for a moment at the belly of the large man and then slowly trailing up at just how tall the big guy was compared to her! Giving off an impressed whistle to just the guys sheer mass she was caught off guard by just how fast the guy was as he grabbed onto her wrist from under her raincoat.
However it seemed she had a ally in this scuffle as a trash can was suddenly slammed down onto the monstrous mans head, giving her a perfect opening for her own attack! Striking down with her palm onto the mans wrist to allow her the chance to get out of his grip by twisting in just the right way before slamming down with all her weight. "Thanks." She gave a curt thank you to Mike before looked back to the mass of flesh that dared call itself a man.
Grabbing onto the side of her raincoat Val tore it from her body, throwing it behind her as she was finally shown to be in her full military gear, a manic grin across her otherwise beautiful face as the excitement built at now being in the middle of the battle! Kicking off the ground she rammed her entire shoulder into the mans gut, a futile effort given his size but only a step in her technique as soon she pivoted on her foot to spin around the man and use that momentum to drive a elbow into his lower back! Her plan was to push him into the battle fray or more accurately towards Mike for another combo attack, if the man could follow up that is.
Finn wasn't sure if the letter sent to him was legit, but he was willing to give it a shot since he was so desperate to do something about the sickened city that had become infested with crime. It was getting late and Finn not having a car meant that he would have to travel there on foot since he could get around quicker than taking the bus. His destination was the East Rage District where the Stone Gym was located. This definitely one of the more shadier side of Rage City, but Finn had no problem with that since he had toughened up for years to one day start his way against the criminal element of his home city.
"I'm probably going to be late to this party, oh well I just hope that there will still be some action for me to take part in" he said to himself as he jumped from one building rooftop to another. Now that he was sure to be a crime infested part of town, Finn would have to be careful while traveling like this in case some of the gangs took him for a rival trespassing on their turf. Passing so many dirty and gratified buildings as well as the crack-houses and red districts made him give a sigh of sadness at how rotten his city had become.
He was determined to get this town back on the right track and fight the good fight. It wasn't too long until he got to the East Rage District. He got down from the roof tops of the buildings and walked in the direction of the Gym on sidewalk. Finn made extra sure to try and keep as casual as possible so he didn't draw too much attention to himself. When he came to the area with the gym Finn saw that there was a fight going on and from the look of it, it was the Water Dragon triads. The name was familiar to him and he was going to watch and see if the other fighters would need assistance. He would step in if it seemed like they were in more need of help.
Hong Lee was giggling as the trash went over him, his laugh was like a thick nightclub bassline his body was so huge any sound that resonated from him seemed to shake the very air itself. As the trash can came down, with a flick of elbow he back handed the metal cylinder and it flew to the right of him like a cannonball, crashing straight into Matt Marcus who was knocked over by the makeshift projectile. While doing this though, he was distracted from his iron grip on the wrist of Valentina, who broke his grasp with her knife hand strike which she pivoted into perfectly, it had just enough force to catch him off guard.
HEHEHE NICE MOVES ARMY GIRL, HONG LIKES THE AGILE ONES HAHAHAHA
Valentina threw off her coat ready for battle, and Hong grinned at her as her face became like that of a demon. Her first attack was an elbow charge which Hong blocked with his elbow. She then made a trick turn and spun behind him, at speed with he did not expect, and drove her elbow into his lower back which made him flinch quite noticeably.
HAHAHA YOUR SO SMALL BUT THAT KINDA HURT!
But Hong was 7'9 and close to 400 ilbs, there was no way this mountain of a man would be moved by any normal means. Grunting after being hit, he spun around quickly with his arm outstretched like a half tornado and his forearm stuck the military lady hard in the shoulder. Knocking her 3 feet away from him as if she was a stray puppy.
Hong then turned his sights on Mike Hardwick, with his hand fast like a cobra strike, he clasped his massive shovel hands around the pro wrestlers neck and began to lift him up from his neck, choking him.
YOURE NOT THAT BIG, WRESTLER MAN, HONG THINKS YOU LIGHT LIKE AN ACTION FIGURE! BWAHAHAHAHAHA
With the satisfying smashing of his knuckled pounding the henchman's face, he watched to make sure the henchman was almost out. Dante could hear Xao going off about this ass whooping his group was getting by the seemingly increasing allies who were showing up. Attempting to go for the 8th and last hit, Dante turned his head a little hearing Xao coming up to try and attack from behind since double teaming people seemed to be the bastard captain's style.
Dante gave a smirk while going for the 8th and final blow on the henchman #1 as Matt jumped in and took Xao down "At least somebody got that annoying fuck off me." Dante said not minding Matt's assistance. He looked back down at henchman #1 and raised his fist in case he still didn't have enough but the fighting behind him with Kai, and the two new individuals left him wondering will there be more and wanted to see what the other supposed allies were capable of.
Mike wasn't ready for the massive mitt to be grasped around his throat as he felt his feet start to dangle off the ground. Awkwardly kicking lightly in the air Mike had to try to get his fingers into the giant hand to try and relieve some of the force closing in on his neck and not pass out. "Hong needs to stop talking in the 3rd person..." Mike gasped out as he started to swing his legs back and forth. "Better yet, Hong needs to go up another octave..." With that Mike swung back his right leg as far back as it'd go and with as much momentum he could muster swung it towards the space between Hong's legs.
If Hong's grip loosened enough that Mike was able to pull himself out of the hold, the wrestler got a seriously needed breath of air. The Rage City putrid musk was never so good as Mike huffed it in and out for a moment as he was on a knee. When he looked up and saw Hong though was upright Mike quickly got back to his feet. Taking a step back and rubbing his right leg a bit before stepping forward, unloading a superkick onto Hong's chin. He didn't contact it perfectly seeing as how the porker was tall. But his been able to land the superkick on higher targets before.
Soft padded dancing shoes putter patterned across the fire escape as Ling Mae stopped for a moment the gym coming into view, but that wasn't what caught her eye. It was the fight between a myriad of people facing down what she knew to be the Triads. These were the water dragons to be specific and she knew them all too well from living in China Town herself all of these years. Completely astonished at the size of the street fight and the rather non uniform look of the other fighters she knew this wasn't a gang fight.
Ling had to help, so she picked a target and saw a rather large man choking another. Feeling the need to intervene in what looked like a rather one sided affair and ran to the edge of the fire escape dropping down behind Hong just as Mike got out of his grip. She noticed the way Mike was preparing to kick and quickly knelt towards the back of Hong's to try and make it buckle and cause his face to meet Mike's foot all the faster and harder
Val brought both her arms up, supporting one with the other as she adsorbed the hit as well as she could before being flung back down the alleyway. The grin had vanished by this point, her enemy not really being the type to fall to her type of attacks since she was sure even if she attempted to grab him she would only be put at risk. After a few rubs of her shoulder she watched the two battle for a moment before taking a look around at the area, the lack of weapons was a problem.
Grabbing the hem of her gloves she tightened the fabric a little more before placing her hands into her pockets, once again returning to her state of watching the fight play out. This was all basically over in her mind, no matter what the porker could do at once point someone may decide to pick up one of the weapons that were dropped by the others and take him out, and with the dragons already hurting that would mean putting the final nail in the coffin.
Hong recoiled after being kicked in the groin, but not as much as you would think for a normal man, he obviously had a very high threshold for pain. Mike Hardwick was able to just about able to scramble out of the grip and counter with a 'sweet chin music' style superkick which was aimed for his chin.
BWWWAPPP
The impact was substantial, although it didn't hit his chin, the power of the kick thudded hard into his solar plexus, knocking him a few steps backwards, staggering his balance just slightly and making him pull a face of reaction. A small woman had made him fall forward secretly, which made the kick so much harder.
AHHH HONG FELT THAT! SNEAKY GIRL MAKE WRESTLER MAN KICK VERY HARD, NOW HONG'S TURN.
Hong decided to counter very quickly, kicking Mike very hard in the stomach which made him double over, to which Hong followed up by dropping a heavy downward elbow on his back, which crumpled him to the floor. He then turned towards the new fighter Ling Mae and swung his arm in a low sweeping motion to bat her away, temporarily taking his focus off the downed wrestler.
The Man that Dante Chambers was mounting and beating on was probably dead, only faint twitches came from his body and his bloody unrecognizable face had stopped spluttering more blood. Xao looked over in horror and screamed.
How could you idiots let this happen? These are nothing but STREET RATS, brawlers for hire from that incarcerated bitch Missy Stone, you let that thug Chamber kill one of our water dragons! I will have revenge!Starting with you, boy.
The arm that Xao used to block Dante's earlier punch had went numb now, so he found himself able to use it, with great focus, he managed to regain his stance and face the new boy Matt Marcus in head on position. But Xao was not interested in a martial arts match he reached into one of the trash can next to him and grabbed a brick. Water Dragons may dress like kung fu fighters but they are just as thuggish as anyone else in Rage city. Xao hurled the brick straight at Matt's Face, snarling as his other wrist burned with pain.
I'm not gonna try and catch that with my face, play baseball somewhere else bro...
Matt deflty pivoted on his backfoot and turned away from the center line of the throw and dodged the flying brick easily, but Xao smiled as Matt Marcus got out of the way.
Wasn't aiming for you, dickhead....
The Brick soared downwards towards the back of Dante chambers and struck him directly in the side of the head.
