Match of the Millennium

Description: Yo dawgs this is your main man Marduk, calling it straight from the Southtown PD jail pen. Y'all probably wondering how I got here. Well, let me tell you, it all started when a crazy broad was trying to get out of an abusive relationship with some jerk name Andy. I don't know who this Andy is. But when I do? I'll beat him silly, cause I'm all about promoting women's rights now!

[MARDUK]
It begins with the blaring horns of Skrillex.

Downtown in Southtown was always having a hustle and bustle during the day. But this was neither hustle, nor bustle. This was noise, pure noise. Foreboding noise, from the one man who could deliver it. See, Craig Marduk was a very large black man from Australia. Not large like John Goodman large. More like Tiny Lister on steroids large. Marduk was a big man, whose day job was beating people until they fell asleep from the punches. Right now, he was between jobs. But he had to be ready to respond at a moment's notice. He was going to drive around town, dressed in only a fur-trimmed leather vest with the big M logo (that's M for Marduk), and leopard print pants (made out of real leopard skin). And sure, he could be driving down in an expensive, fancy car, like the rest of the hot shots.

And Marduk didn't want the rest.

Marduk only wanted the -best-.

And the best for Marduk was a purple Hummer H2, custom job. How custom? Well Marduk didn't drive with the top up. He had to have the top down, hand down, nothing else doing. Thus, Marduk was cruising downtown in a convertible purple Hummer, with the top down of course. Another important customization? Sound system, with a riproaring bass. The very windows of the buildings around were trembling at the deep roar of his music, as Marduk swings his head around, barking and snarling along with the song. Fortunately, the song didn't have any lyrics to it. Because it was the instrumental version.

Marduk didn't want some Rick Ross talk over -his- singing after all.

"Dead shot, head shot, oh my God, am I crazy?!"
"Drugs every corner, this is God Damn City"
"Killer Croc came to kidnap you, to cut out your kidney"
"Anal mercy, got that purple Lamborghini lurkin'"
"Rozay, don't you know that pus-"

*CRUNCH*

The vehicle comes to a hard stop as -something- gets in the way. Marduk hits the accelerator instinctively, and when the car crunches again, he begins to realize that -somebody- was in his way. Letting his foot of the accelerator, he peers down at the round before him. ANd right there, right there in his way, is some pussy-ass red honda CR-V in HIS way. Marduk's jaw goes slack, as the music continues. His entire body trembles, the muscles on his form twitching and contorting. Marduk pulls back, and crosses over into the other lane half way, before he just... just decides no. He wasn't going to walk away from this. Blocking both lanes of traffic in the one-way street, he goes into park, and takes his keys from the car. Opening the door, several bottles of expensive imported beers tumble out to shatter on the asphalt. The entire car rocks as he drops out. But again, this all for Marduk's perspective.

For the driver of the other car?

He sees in the review mirror 7 feet and 400 lbs of angry black man come out of the purple convertible hummer.

Face contorted into a sneer of PURE RAGE.

[MAI]
The driver of the red CR-V is one James Nesmith. He goes by "Jay". Driving for Uber is his side-job to support an internship at a small investment firm. At the moment, however, he is concerned he may not be working either soon. To that end, he is really considering just locking the doors and speeding off. Could he do that? How long would it before the cops caught him? Oh gosh, what should he do?

Before he can make a decision, the passenger in the back opens the door and rolls out onto her feet. She's tall Japanese woman with a distinct silhouette even in blue jeans and t-shirt. For a moment, she rubs her neck and looks at the big approaching figure with annoyance.

"Hey you jerk, you hit us!" Mai shouts, waggling a finger at Marduk.

In the front seat, Jay tries to disappear into the floorboard.

[MARDUK]
Could he drive away?

Not when Marduk grabs the back of the car, lifting the back wheels offer the ground.

The massive brawler simply grabs it on each side under the wheel space, and lifts. The back fender falls off, as Marduk roars aloud at his lifting. "BITCH AIN'T GOING NOWHERE!" Marduk bellows, as the backdoor opens. And out comes some kind of asian woman or something. Marduk just -stares- at the woman eyes wide, as he rips her clothes off with his eyes. If there was ever a stare molestation, it was happening now. The back of the car even goes down from the distraction... until she opens her mouth. And you can see Marduk just -roll- his eyes before he blurts aloud.

"HOLY SHIT!"

And there, Marduk pulls away one hand, keeping the car up with one hand (with a grunt of some effort). He was trying to be nice here, and explain politely to Mai about how this wasn't her problem. "BITCH!" He bellows, sticking one finger at her. "YOU SHUT UP AND GET BACK IN THE CAR, WOMAN! I do not have TIME for some ASIAN SKANK to NAG the SHIT out of ME over some MEN'S ISSUE! In fact, you want to make your HO SKANK ASS USEFUL?" He points his finger back towards the side view mirror, where he -stares- at Jay. "You better get your MAN out here before I rip his CAR in half, HO! You want your BITCH ASSS to walk back?" He taps the side of his head briefly, as the back of the car slowly drops down. "That's logic, BITCH! You gotta think! Though if you need a ride now..."

Marduk licks his lips, as his rage immediately fades into a hungry, broad grin.

[MAI]
Mai wasn't particularly looking for a fight. Her intent was to step out and stand up for herself, because what kind of jerk rear-ends someone? After seeing that gaudy four-wheeled monstrosity, Mai was ready to give the driver a piece of her mind. She could see Jay squirming, so he wasn't getting the job done. Mai admittedly was not too surprised--not everyone is as dashing and brave as Andy, but she couldn't /entirely/ blame him.

But then Mai met Marduk. Her interest in simply giving him a piece of her mind has quickly faded. Her eyes widen as he yells at her loudly. There's a wince almost in sync with every condescending, sexist remark. By the time he's done, Mai is visibly furious.

"Okay you ass!!" Mai hooks her fingers through the collar of her shirt and disrobes with a spin and a flourish--sending her jeans and t-shirt onto the roof of the CR-V as her ninja seems to somehow unfurl from underneath it. NINJA CHICANERY.

Mid-bounce, Mai thrusts her hands into her clevage and pulls out a steel fan, pointing it threatening. "Are you looking for a fight??"

[MARDUK]
"BITCH YOU CALL ME ASS?!"

Marduk was -insulted- by the fact the woman was using such rude language. Mama told Marduk never kiss a girl who's mouth was dirty like that, and Marduk listened to Mama. Of course, the whole place was getting too noisy. By now, the other cars were honking. Modestly, of course, because while Marduk's abomination of a vehicle was blocking all the traffic, he was currently -lifting another car- and was very likely to cause problems with other cars. Marduk was -supposed- to be angrier, and his sleazy smile was SUPPOSED to be a look of insulted rage.

And then she spins out of her clothing.

Sleaze goes from rage to confusion. Marduk tilts his head, jaw slack. His mind was processing what he was seeing. She was wearing normal clothing. And now she was wearing not normal clothing. And was bouncing, as her ninja comes out. Marduk blinks his eyes, as the gears continue to turn. And finally, Marduk manages to muster a response.

"Holy shit, you can hold stuff in there?"

Marduk releases the back of the car. Marduk gets close, too close, as he tries to peer down Mai's absolute cleavage with pure academic interest. "Yeah, sure, I'll fight you, but seriously, did you have a whole fan in there this entire time?" Marduk seemed almost childlike in his fascination with fitting a whole fan there. Already, Marduk was looming over Mai, staring down and inspecting her as a critic would inspect a fine piece of art. Marduk continues his insights, as he tries to deconstruct what just happened.

"Holy shit, are you some kind stripper or magician, like Carrot Top?"

[MAI]
Mai is still an angry ninja pointing a fan when Marduk calls her out, but when he closes the gap she goes on the defensive. Her unshakeable self-confidence and lack of shame does a lot, but Marduk is very much in her space. She steps back agiley and pops open her fan.

"Yes!!" she says, "I don't have pockets!" As if it explains everything. Mai straightens her shoulders and stands more aggressively, clearly not intimidated by the size difference at play.

But then, Marduk asks a question. Mai puffs out her cheeks and turns bright red. "I'm neither! I'm a NINJA!" A pause. "Who is Carrot Top?"

[MARDUK]
"Who is Carrot Top?"

"Aw, man bitch, you don't know who CARROT TOP is?" Marduk's road rage takes a pause. Well, it was already a pause. Marduk's gawking at Mai's curves was what was taking a pause as he rolls his eyes again. "Carrot Top's like a magician who is so god damn funny. Like, he's not arrogant like those Penn and Teller dipshits. He takes things, and they are like, jokes on things. You know, like a prop? And they do amazing and magical stuff." Marduk snaps his fingers as the honking begins to grow louder... along with the sounds of a police siren. A traffic cop pulls up on his bicycle, his little siren mewling, as he comes upon Marduk from the sidelines. <"Excuse me sir"> The officer says, as Marduk continues to use his hands to explain. "Like, there is a toy car he pulls out, and it is smoking, and it's Snoop Dawg's car sometimes, and other times its Willie Nelson, and that's because it's smoking, you see, because those guys are all... all..."

<"Sir?">

Marduk holds up a finger. "Oh hang on a second." Marduk turns around and picks up the traffic cop by his throat. "BITCHES! ALL YOU GOD DAMN CHINKS!" Marduk roars at the cars as he clutches the quivering traffic cop in one hand, rattling him. With a roar, he hurls the cop at a nearby Toyota Civic behind his Hummer, smashing the windshield of the car. throwing both arms down, he screams at the cars. "SHUT UP! I AM TRYING TO EXPLAIN WHO CARROT TOP IS!"

The honking cars go silent.

Marduk turns back to Mai, as he takes out his smartphone. "Here, let me show you a video, like, he's really, really funny but you need to see him in action to get it."

[MAI]
Mai seems mostly confused at the direction this conversation has taken. She snaps her fan closed and puts her hands on her hips as Marduk tries to explain. She remains befuddled, but seems content to listen for the moment.

A policeman interjects, and Mai's eyes follow. She looks up at Marduk as if to gesture to him to listen to the man. When Marduk's response is to instead throw him across the street. Mai seems horrified.

"You threw him!" she protests, apparently having come to the conclusion that, calmed down or not, Marduk is a threat to public safety that Mai can't stand by and tolerate. "You can't just /throw/ people when they interrupt!"

She somehow doubts reason has any place here.

[MARDUK]
The nerve of this chick!

Marduk just crosses HIS arms, the moment he gets his smartphone all ready and everything. And now, he was just staring firmly at Mai's breasts as she objects to his treatment of local law enforcement. "Well I can't just -PUNCH- them when I am trying to tell you about Carrot Top! Look, bitch, maybe you don't understand something, so let me explain." Marduk gestures at the officer, who was writhing on the ground, moaning. "See, if you punch a cop, you can get in huge legal trouble. You can't just punch cops to solve problems. So thus, I did not punch a cop. Thus, I'm not in legal trouble. Thinking, Bitch." Marduk taps the side of his head again. "Do it some time. You can't just punch out cops." And Marduk, smiling smugly, just shakes his head. "God damn, between punching cops and not knowing carrot top, you are by far the dumbest stripper I've met." Marduk then grins, and reaches out to place a hand squarely on Mai's shoulder.

"So you're single, right?"

[MAI]
Mai blinks. There's a moment where she just stares at Marduk as he mansplains to her why throwing a cop is a much more acceptable alternative to punching a cop. One can almost hear the blood starting to boil as he then calls her a stripper a second time. The straw that breaks that camel's back, in this case, is asking about her relationship status. It's a bit of a contention for Mai, as some know.

Mai places a hand on Marduk's oversized paw when he places it on her shoulder. She leaves it there for a minute, but in a split-second she's on the move. Mai pivots under his arm, grabs hold of it with both hands, then plants her hips against his thigh. Pulling forward, Mai uses herself as a lever as she goes into a full-on hip toss that may compromise the safety of the CR-V parked nearby. Poor Jay.

COMBATSYS: Mai successfully hits Marduk with Quick Throw.

[MARDUK]
Marduk was underestimating his victim.

See, against most strippers Marduk accost outside their Uber drivers, they would give some lip. You know the type. Loud as a motorbike. Marduk know those kind of girls. And all they needed was a show of force. See, bitches liked their men tough and decisive. In most of cases, when the girl would try and say no? Marduk would have just shook her off, maybe even give a little backhand to help her learn her place. But there was a problem.

The problem was that Mai was a trained ninja.

Marduk's own strength and weight was used against him, as he is hurled into the side of the SUV. With a -HURGH- he dents it hard, as he knocks the car sliding about a foot. Marduk blinks hard, shaking his head, stunned not just by the throw, but the fact that it was rapidly becoming apparent that he was ending up as a victim of assault in the aftermath of an accident. Marduk realizes quickly that if he did not stand up for himself, that he might be in serious danger for his life, especially with the officer at the scene being incapacitated. Marduk had to defend himself.

Or he would just be another statistic.

"Shit, bitch, you could have just said you were happy to do worse than Craig Marduk!" The brawler groans as he pulls himself off the car. His body was already bruised. But Marduk could handle that. The towering brawler strides over with the grace of a bull elephant, his limbs stretching back out to Mai. BOTH of them this time. Marduk was content with simply slamming both of them together on each of Mai's upper arms, and lifting her up. And if he gets that far? He would lift her up, and start shaking some sense into her. And he would keep shaking sense in her...

Until, uh, Mai's shaking starts knocking the sense out of Marduk.

Marduk           0/-------/------=|===----\-------\0              Mai

[MAI]
Mai has already pulled back and has moved into a springy defensive stance when Marduk gets back up. She isn't entirely surprised considering how easily he tossed the policeman a moment ago, but that does not give her enough of advantage to avoid Marduk closing the gap and picking her up by her shoulders. She's taken violently back and forth for several moments before she can manage a proper response. He's absurdly strong! --she should have expected that much.

But Marduk's jab spurs her back into action. Much worse? How dare he slight Andy in such a way?!

"I'll have you know that I'm spoken for!!" Mai shouts, swinging her feet forward and planting them on Marduk's chest to kick off and soar into the air with normally impossible height and speed.

With that, Mai shifts and turns in mid-air, sticking her fan into between her teeth and kicking off a nearby lamppost to rocket back into Marduk with a flying tackle.

COMBATSYS: Marduk endures Mai's Musasabi no Mai.

[MARDUK]
"... Huh."

Marduk stops the shaking for only a second. Long enough for Mai to kick off him, and escape his grasps. His heart left it for a moment, though, as he noticed something very interesting about shaking someone like Mai. Marduk scratches his head. "You know, you're awfully jiggly. Are those real-"

And she jumping at him.

Marduk growls as he charges right back at Mai. The tackle connects hard into his chest. Marduk immediately moves to snap his arms around again, this time not to shake, but to hold Mai in place. "Please! If you were spoken for, then why isn't your man stepping out here for you?" Marduk nods his head at the car front seat, where Jay is probably quivering and crying in a puddle of his own stuff. "Bitch probably has to wear the pants cause the man ain't got shit!" It seems that Marduk was thinking the driver was her Andy. In any case, Marduk was going to take advantage of the clinch, unless Mai escaped in time, to sweep the back of his hand around.

In order to slap some sense back into Mai's face.

[MAI]
Mai collides with a mountain of muscle, and before she can rebound again, she gets grabbed in another lock. Mai thrashes her legs, trying to get a good purchase to kick off a second time, but she does not find one immediately.

"That's not my Andy!" Mai protests, "he's just the Uber driver! He's--" SMACK. The backhand comes around and clocks Mai in the jaw. She brings an arm to block, but it's not much of one considering she's presently in a hold. It solicits a scowl.

And then Mai twists in Marduk's grip, bringing her legs up again. This time, however, she tries to snap her ankles around Marduk's head and flip /him/ into a throw with a ridiculous feat of leg strength.

Meanwhile, Jay runs a hand through his hair. How did he get into this? Is God punishing him for lusting after his big-busted passenger today? Maybe the internship wasn't meant to be and he just needs to go back home. He contemplates trying to crawl across the front seat and sneak out the passenger side door.

Marduk           0/-------/---====|=======\-------\1              Mai

[MARDUK]
"Shit, 'your' Andy?"

The gears in Marduk's head turn and turn. As he finishes the backhand, the woman just keeps blah, blah, blahing. But it was important stuff, Marduk was listening. He was a good listener. It was good to listen to women, Mama taught him that. But as she rushes up legs first, Marduk remembered another thing Mama told him about girls, back in highschool. But just like in highschool, Marduk only has enough time to give the illusion of protection as he grabs the woman by her well toned bottom. To no effect, as he he hurled up and over, his own weight used against him as he is slammed BACK into the car. AGAIN. His body was shuddering as he rises. A rage overtaking him. But not at Mai, no.

He glares into the front seat, and -slams- his palms on top of the car.

"Holy crap, the wiener in the front seat isn't even your boyfriend, but a god damn UBER DRIVER?!" He slams his palms again, as he builds into a white hot fury. "So your man doesn't even drive you around, but pays some punk ass to take you where to go?" He doesn't even turn back at Mai, as he focuses -hard- on the driver. His entire body quivers. He couldn't even imagine his own mama being forced into an Uber, when he was around to drive her. Marduk was overwhelmed with anger.

What kind of abusive boyfriend doesn't drive his bitch around?

Marduk begins punching and slamming into the car, falling into a berserker state. "Man, if you're man was worth anything more than garbage? Then he would have driven you himself, instead of make you get an Uber. It's like he couldn't get you a TAXI, so he cheaped out on UBER! GOD DAMN WOMAN! If you think your man has any respect for some sidechick like you! You know what I would do if you were my girl?" Marduk smashes through the windows of the vehicle, taking out his rage on it. "Holy shit, if MY girl was getting into this? I'd POUND the ASSHOLE that was FUCKING HER UP! Holy SHIT! What kind of PANSY ASS LOSER would just LET HIS GIRL go off on her own, when she should be in the KITCHEN. Or with him to buy her jewelry in exchange for some HARD LOVING. GOD DAMN! WHAT AN ASSHOLE! What a GOD DAMN ASSHOLE! WELL I'M NOT GONNA TAKE IT!" And there, finally, he reaches the apex of his fury. Ducking low, he grabs the bottom of the car, and with a heave, he lifts it up, and over, and flips it to its side. "WHERE THE HELL IS THIS ANDY?!" He bellows, as he turns back over to Mai, thrusting his finger at the woman.

"I'M GONNA KICK HIS PUSSY ASS FOR MESSING WITH ME!"

COMBATSYS: Marduk gathers his will.

Marduk           1/-------/=======|=======\-------\1              Mai

[MAI]
Mai's butt gets grabbed, briefly, as she throws Marduk over her head. It's not a pleasant experience, but such is the cost of being Mai. What's more horrifying, by far, is the tirade that follows. Mai can do nothing but stand there, mouth agape, as Marduk snaps.

The car gets a thorough beating. James "Jay" Nesmith wets himself at some point in the chaos. He tries to not look at Marduk directly when he gets glared at, instead sinking back into the seat. By the car is turned over, Jay is battered, bruised, and nauseous. He wants to go home.

Mai continues to stand in shock for a moment before she finally gets her bearings. One can almost see the red hot rage building up around Mai as she puts together a response.

"ANDY, is busy TRAINING instead of driving BADLY in an UGLY car!!" Mai shouts, clearly furious. "And unlike SOME PEOPLE he has respect for a woman enough to not try and buy her affections with CHEAP TRINKETS!!"

Mai's figurative flames become literal flames as she clamps her teeth around her fan again and performs a ninja hand-sign. With that, she breaks into a run, flying forward into a handspring and performing a full cartwheel toward Marduk--

--during which she ignites into a fireball, never once stopping as she threatens to roll into him and then transition into a crushing elbow strike.

"CHOU HISSATSU SHINOBIBACHI!!!"

Marduk           1/---====/=======|====---\-------\0              Mai

[MARDUK]
Marduk was pretty much livid.

But he was -no where- as livid as Mai was, when he starts trash talking Andy. Marduk actually had only seen a woman this angry once. And that was his Mama. And he loves his Mama. And Mama loves him. When Mai shows that look, Marduk suddenly realizes. "Oh SHIT!" He barks out. "YOU'RE CO-DEPENDENT TO HIM! It was so obvious. She was abused, and didn't have the self-esteem to break away. Just like that Lightning Spangles bitch or whatever her name was. Pepper or something. This was sad and Marduk was only getting madder. In the meanwhile, Mai was breaking into cartwheels and also on fire.

And suddenly Mai is on him.

The rings of fires of consume Marduk, who also bursts into flames as he is slammed into the underbelly of the SUV. He is slammed hard enough to keep it rolling as it goes upside down. He only manages to throw off his jacket, as it becomes consumed by the flames. His body was burnt and bleeding, and his ribs were broken and bruised. He groans as he falls into a sitting position by the car. Stunned, he can only manage a mutter.

"Bitch, did you just call me a a Shino Babitchy?"

Marduk rises up in a flash. He was fast. Too fast for his size. "GOD DAMN BITCH NO WONDER YOU ARE SO CRAZY ASS!" He roars, as he lunges in low. "This is a GOD DAMN INTERVENTION HO!" Marduk would roll in, and lift Mai up by the back of her knees. There, he would whip her up....

... And slam her on her back HARD.

Smashing her down on the sidewalk, Marduk suddenly mounts on her pelvis, sitting roughly on her as he goes for the pin. And there, he glares at her right in the eye. "And I'm gonna BEAT the ANDY out of YA" He says, ready to empower her liberation. And there, he begins to punch her in the face, as he knows best to help people. It starts with two from the right, and three from the left, before he just -grabs- her by the head. "TELL ME YOU LOVE YOUR ANDY, HUH? WHERE IS YOUR ANDY NOW!?" He bellows as he -slams- the back of her head into the sidewalk, again and again and again, until finally, he releases her, rising into a stand, dusting off his hands. "There, see?" That pussy-ass Andy wasn't here to help you!"

"Because he doesn't REALLY love you!"

[MAI]
There are still flames dancing Mai as she draws back from the elbow strike. A few of them ignite scraps of paper and trash which fizzle on the sidewalk. The ninja takes deep breaths, working her arms--still sore and starting to bruise from the earlier grabs. Unfortunately for Mai, she has no time to rest on her laurels.

When Marduk rushes her with deceptive speed, Mai is caught off guard. She tries to leap out of the way, but Marduk catches her by the legs and flips her into the air before slamming her back down on the hard pavement. She tries to get back on her feet and roll, but she's pinned before she can. It knocks the air out of her lungs, but she's stopped mid-gasp by a punch to the face, then another. Before she can muster a response she gets grabbed by the hair and slammed once more.

Mai's having a hard time seeing straight and she's got a mixture of blood and spit dribbling down her chin. It's not pleasant. Even so, it doesn't stop her from subtly executing several more ninja hand signs.

She takes deep breaths, but doesn't respond this time. Perhaps her ninja training is coming out enough to tell her to keep her mouth shut and go for the opening. Whether or not that works in her favor is not clear, but the pillars of flame that erupt around her convey her message quite clearly.

The spoken message seems to simply be 'fwoosh'.

[MARDUK]
It looks like she wasn't grateful.

As Marduk looks over his work, Mai responds by unleashing the flames. And there, he stands fast, not even leaving the flames. To say that he was no-selling it wasn't quite accurate. The pillars of flame was now catching his pants on fire, and was very visibly roasting his skin, giving him a fresh coat of deep burns on his body. The problem was that Marduk didn't even seem to notice the conflagration. The only thing he noticed, was something he was about to make very clear.

"BITCH DIDN'T I JUST EMPOWER YOU!?"

Not even a FUCKING THANK YOU for HELPING YOU OUT!?! Holy SHIT what an UNGRATEFUL BITCH!" Marduk bellows as he surges in, hands out to grab Mai again. This time, by her ankles. Should he get a grip this time? He would whirl her around, and briskly and roughly chuck her -right- at his own Hummer. He wasn't really thinking things through. But frankly, in spite of his burns, he was focused on one thing.

Making her pay for her rudeness.

[MAI]
Mai was aiming to chase Marduk off with the pillars of flame, failing all else. When she can see, even with her blurred vision, that he is not budging, Mai's eyes widen. There's a look of panic on her face when he starts yelling again. In particular, he's yelling about something that doesn't involve being on fire. This poses a problem for Mai.

The problem becomes more evident when Marduk grabs her with the ankles and outright hurls her toward his H2. She flies through the air and hits the side of it hard enough to dent it in, then bounces over the side and lands in the seat thanks to the convertible top. For a moment, it seems like the fight is over because Mai doesn't immediately get back up.

But suddenly, three flaming fans launch out from the convertible top of the Hummer, spinning wildly at Marduk. They cut through the air like razors, somehow thrown with enough force and precision to neither go off course nor extinguish themselves mid-flight.

"I won't let you talk about my Andy that way!!!" Mai protests, right before breaking into a cough and thumping back down in the seat.

Marduk wasn't done yet.

As he throws the girl right into the back of the his car. He was already charging back, charging right at her for the follow up. And in theory, it MIGHT work. As the fans comes out, he actually manages to force through the first one. And the second one only begins to slow him down. The third one? Hits him right in the junk. "HOOOOAGH!" He cries out, adjusting himself. Fortunately, it only cut right into his bladder. He didn't need that. But the bull charge stops cold, as he stumbles back. She wouldn't let him talk about her Andy that way? Well. Guess what.

She wasn't getting back up from the seat.

"YEAH!" Cries out Marduk, throwing his arms in the air as he begins to bleed through his burning pants. He didn't care about the car, or the wreck, or anything. He just beat the co-dependency out of a girl or something. Yeah, he started her on the path to getting out of an abusive relationship with some Andy faggot. "Rank that one up for a WIN for WOMEN'S RIGHTS! I just BUSTED SEXISM RIGHT IN THE PUSSY! WOOO! WOOO! WOO-"

"<Excuse me sir>"

Seventeen traffic officers surround Marduk; with one of them clearing their throat. Marduk blinks his eyes, stopping his celebration. "Oh." Marduk pauses a moment. There is the smell of roast pork in the air. He looks to the girl in his back seat. He looks at the traffic officer passed out in the street. He looks at the other cops. And almost softly, he clears his throat.

"I would like to report an accident?"
