VS.
Jeremy nodded to his opponent, and presumed his own stance. For the first few seconds, neither of them so much as twitched. Jeremy started to clear his throat, "I can sense that you are not entirely human. You have several mechanics directly implanted into your body." The strange man prodded into Justin... but, he knew that it was nothing more than an attempt to get under his skin (Er, metal). He shook his head.
"Humanity is subjective, bub," Justin replied as he put both of his fists together. "Now, are we going to fight, or discuss philosophy, huh? Because I know a nice starbucks..."
Jeremy nodded. "I was not attempting to prod to humanity." Suddenly, he lunged forward and made a swift knee towards Justin's chest. He waited for the man to attempt to block or dodge, and then raised his tail and stretched it outward, hoping to curve and coil around his opponent. Justin was quick on his feet, and this machine was practically telegraphed. He put both hands out, and caught the blow. Metal clashed with metal in an impressive display that caused the crowd to go "Oooooh!" out of excitement. However, Justin was barely prepared for the tail he was worried so much about earlier. It wrapped around him, and he let out a sharp exhale of air out of surprise.
Back in the HQ, The entire team micromanaging every emotion SYM-04 felt, as well as sending commands to be fulfilled. "Remember team, we're showing something off here. Don't want the fight to end too early, do we?" The Boss said, sipping from the fourth mug in one day. At the fight, Jeremy's tail loosened lightly, just enough for Justin to break loose without feeling like Jeremy was going easy on him.
Well, looks like it was time to show this monster the most important thing he was lacking: a heart.
Machinery in Justin's arms opened up to reveal the subwoofers in his palms, elbows, and shoulders. At will, a wave of blue sound came flying out in all directions, breaking Jeremy's grip on him, and probably stunning him. In the instant he was stunned, Justin landed on a knee, and slammed a palm onto the ground to hold himself up. He caught eye of Jeremy, and launched himself towards him. He swung outwards with a ki-infused kick that glowed a bright blue color towards his sides. Just when Jeremy came to his proper senses, the kick slammed into his side. Jeremy tumbled to the ground, but quickly recovered once his palms touched the ground. He swung around back onto his feet, and took a receding stance. His tail finally reeled itself back in. Once it did, it pointed itself right at Jeremy's chest.
"I must say, that attack dealt significant damage to my side. I might need to take a moment to refresh... Mind if I..." Suddenly, Jeremy's tail lunged straight outwards to Justin's chest. The stinger extended as it closed in on Justin.
Now just sounds like a bad anime villain. While he was talking, Justin was focused on the fight. His subwoofer systems still active, he was about to fire a Beat-Pulse, but the stinger caught him off guard. Hitting Justin square in his core. Fortunately his chest, and glowing core is extra armored... and unfortunately, Jeremy was much stronger than he thought. He grabbed onto the stringer tightly, and tried to pull it out, but it was stuck. With Jeremy pushing it in harder than he could get it out.
"Borrow some?" Jeremy finished.
Justin's felt a powerful pang of pain, once Jeremy's tail began to drain Ki into his own body. After three seconds, his tail receded and returned to it's normal position. "There we go." Justin commented, as he examined his arms closely and flexed his hands.
"Now then..." Suddenly, Jeremy's entire body burned with blue flame, similar to Justin's, before turning white. "Shall we?!" Jeremy's constantly calm voice strained as he lunged with extreme speed towards Justin. Jeremy threw jab after jab at Justin, before performing a combo of a knee to the chest, and elbow to the head, and an overhead bash, finishing with a Powerful shoulder against Justin's body.
Justin felt much weaker all of the sudden... this bastard did something to him. With every blow, he could feel a brand new strength surge through his opponent. His armor was getting damaged and dented. Worst of all, he wouldn't shut up. However, at the last blow, Justin had enough. He sidestepped the shoulder, and shoved Jeremy aside with all his strength. In an instant, he deployed his subwoofer technology, and pointed it straight at Jeremy.
"Get off!" Justin shouted.
He fired a concentrated blue blast of ki converted into sound right at his body.
The massive wave of Ki rammed against Jeremy, which sent him frolling along the grounds towards the edge of the arena. Right before he fell into the abyss of defeat, Jeremy stabbed his tail into the ground, breaking through the hard tiles. It pulled along him as he rolled, but ultimately prevented him from falling over. Jeremy stood back up, with his tail hanging still floppy, over fifteen feet long, it's maximum length.
"That was indeed an impressive move. Would you like to see mine?" Jeremy offered.
Jeremy raced towards his opponent once more, both of his fists clenched. He jumped into the air,and held his hands into an overhead bash, similar to the one he used in his Ki surge, but high up and building speed as it returned to the ground, aimed right at Justin.
Heh, too easy. Justin thought to himself as he smirked. Both of his legs were charged with ki, and started glowing brightly, as he kicked his leg upwards in an arc - a blade of sort. Leaving behind a glowing trail reminiscent of a scythe. "Sonic-Scythe!" Justin loudly shouted as he clashed with Jeremy ki-to-ki.
Perfect. Jeremy grappled Justin's Ki-infused legs, gripping them tight despite the chaotic damage it did to his hands, tearing off specs of his armor. "Just to let you know, this wasn't my Strongest Move", he informed. Suddenly, SYM-04's tail, which had dangled the entire time he performed his attack, was pointed directly at Justin, the tip glowing a bright white twinkle. "If we are to perform the same customs, then "Ion Cannon"." Jeremy almost sounded uninterested as a wave of Ion energy shot from his tail in a wide column, heading straight towards Jeremy and Justin, who was currently grappled by his legs.
Despite his best efforts, Justin couldn't do much more than shoot a few Sonic Beats at Jeremy. However, it was too late, the Ion Cannon hit Justin with such force that it sent him flying out of Jeremy's hands. A part of him wanted to use Beat-Pulse, but he didn't have enough strength. The attack had already launched him out of bounds.
"K-O!" Andre shouted, full of excitement as the crowd seemed to be more disturbed - even though Andre tried to rile them up. "Alright folks, it seems that Jeremy Halvit is moving up to the main event! Give him a clap ladies and gentlemen!"
Some members of the crowd awkwardly clapped.
Justin rolled onto his hands and feet, and pounded the ground with a fist as he hissed, "Damn it!"
Looks like it's up to Seven-Seven....
Jeremy twirled in air as his tail reeled back in, once he landed on his feet. An entire team of scientists swarmed up to him and began measuring all over his body. They then followed him as he walked out of the main door, one of them veering off to keep away an eager Interviewer, simply commenting "Mr. Halvit requires immediate attention, due to damage during the fight" To the disappointed girl.
