Nemo walked through the front door only to be greeted by a longer dark hallway. Two guards were placed at the end of it by a larger steel ship door. Security to get inside was naturally rather tight in a club like this. Nemo casually strode down the hallway, his X shaped spurs jingling on his boots alerted the guards. They didn't recognize him, nor did they get any notice over the radio at the entrance that anybody else was coming in.
The guards went to apprehend him, but were quickly met with resistance. As soon as they moved forward Nemo extended out his bandaged hand. From his palm a transparent ripple like effect traveled through the air, seemingly distorting space itself in an uneven beam that passed through one of the guards legs. After half a second of buffer time the spell seemed to activate, causing a sickening crack like noise to emit out from the guard's leg as it was crushed by the spell.
The first guard fell to the floor, but the second pushed on. Nemo still continued his steady walking pace until the man reached him. The guard made the first move by throwing a magically enhanced punch at Nemo. Nemo easily countered by grabbing the guards arm and using the same distortion spell from earlier. The space up the guard's arm distorted and then emitted another snapping sound to confirm the multiple breaks. Nemo quickly shot off a small concussive blast at the man's head to knock him unconscious and then did the same to the other guard.
Nemo had to admit after all that extra work it felt pretty rewarding to reach the door. He spun the wheel to open it and then stepped inside. The music level increased tenfold as soon as the seal of the door broke. Now finally inside, Nemo seemed rather too impressed by the scene.
"Such provocative decor..." Nemo thought, his eyes wandering to a transparent statue of a man. In sync with the music a neon lightning bolt traveling to the statue lit up, in turn lighting up a neon skeleton within it. The decoration portrayed the effect of a person being comically electrocuted. He then turned to a large buzzing Tesla coil that did the same to two other dummies at another part of the room.
"Rugged music and patrons..." He continued, looking at a group of people moshing together.
"Incredible attention to detail..." He said out-loud this time as he leaned over to one of the tables, noticing a lightning bolt shaped stand that held the table up.
Before Nemo could continue he regained his senses. He was here for something else than to appreciate the scenery.
Nemo used his mana tracking skill to try to pinpoint what he was looking for. If it wasn't for his experience it would of been nearly impossible for him to find the owner amidst all the other mana pools that were in the club. Judging by the security to get in, this was one of those underground invite only type of magic ran establishments. Somewhere magic users could go and not be bothered by causing a ruckus in public.
Nemo followed the "smell" of the bigger mana pools across the club, down a hallway, and into a bigger room. He picked up a snack on a metal tray along the way. The sound of a heavy punch along with a crowd cheering set the scene for this room. It seemed like it was normally the main dance floor and lounge for the club, but right now the dance floor was taken up by a large ring instead.
Inside stood a very tall, almost 7 foot, shirtless tattooed man, and a much smaller in comparison jacketed man with a red mohawk. Mr. Mohawk didn't seem to be having a good day; considering he was currently beaten up and being hefted above the muscular man's head. The Iron Giant let out a feral yell before running to the edge of the ring and throwing him out, sending him crashing into a table.
The crowd went wild, and even Nemo seemed to be amused by the man's peril. Afterwards the man left in the ring flexed his muscles for the crowd and called for a drink. Someone threw him a can of beer which he quickly chugged and then smashed it on his head. Getting his short slicked back black hair wet.
"Is there anyone else?" The man called out with a hearty laugh. "Nobody?" He continued as he waited for a response. The relative silence in crowd put a smirk on his face. "That's what I thought, we're done here." He said before going to walk towards the edge of the ring.
"I'll go next." Nemo called out to the man, causing him to stop before he could make it off the ring. He turned around to him, seeing Nemo standing in the front of the crowd by the ring and let out a laugh.
"Alright, step up kid. But be prepared to get knocked right down." He replied to his proposal.
Nemo gave a grin at his threat as he began to walk up the slightly elevated stage. "I'll keep it in mind." He said. Once inside he pocketed his hands and waited for his opponent.
Nemo's casual stance seemed to anger the larger man. Causing him to quickly rush down the ring with a yell. He spun once reaching Nemo and swung his large fist in a three-sixty roundhouse punch. As he wound up his fist began to glow with energy.
The chop was angled in a way that allowed Nemo to easily sidestep it to the right. The man let out a grunt from the whiff and immediately threw another straight punch at him. Nemo dodged this one to the left and then shuffled himself backwards and away from the man.
"You little shit!" The man yelled at him, frustrated. And then stomped his foot on the ground with a magically enhanced foot. Sending out a magic ripple like shock wave at Nemo. He used a short distance phase teleport to get out of the way, causing the attack to collide with the crowd instead. Nemo seemed to be diverting all his energy to dodging and analyzing his attacker in the beginning.
The man rushed again sending out a flurry of punches, only getting more and more angry as Nemo avoided them. However his final straight punch connected dead onto Nemo's face. The sheer power behind the attack caused Nemo to bend backwards, almost falling over. After a few moments of balancing in between being up and falling down he straightened out his posture.
The big man looked rather confused at Nemo's almost disappointed look on his face after the attack. "There's no love in your violence." He stated, his hands now out of his pockets after the hit. The shirtless man went for another heavy strike at Nemo's face. However this time, Nemo counterattacked. As his punch zeroed in Nemo diverted it off the the side with his left hand then then struck him dead in the face with his right.
The reaction was immediate: The force behind the punch caused his head to whiplash off to the right and back, before his earlier forward momentum caused him to fall face first into the ring. The man wasn't getting back up. The crowd went dead silent, even Nemo didn't seem to say anything. Just staring at the knocked out body of his former opponent. He looked around the room before lifting his arms up from his side and letting them drop down in a "Whoops." kind of gesture.
