Description: A normal match between Alma and Gabriel turned into an unexpected three-on-one beatdown after the Chaos Agent, Jiro, decided to give Alma a more personal congratulation. (Winner: Alma)
[OOC note from Jiro: Crap! I accidentally deleted a pose where Alma did his Sppecial on Jiro after Jiro gave him the stunner with Jiro dodging it.]
4 PM.
It's amazing that the Saturday Night Fight is going on in Gedo's territory. The gangsters were told to behave, if not by Daigo, then by the Stray Dog, who is perhaps within the Chain of Command as far as things have been going.
Not only have Gedo students are about, but the press and other fans have entered the dojo. The rowdy students are currently cheering for the fighters who will likely enter. The watchers are located at the -second- floor, where the walk way is for all to see the incoming fight.
Because this is in Gedo grounds, Jiro has decided to act as the peacekeeper. Basically, he told the students not to sackbeat Gabriel, no matter how much she deserves it. He told them, 'If you guys want to tag the bitch, wait until after the fight when she steps out'.
And where is Jiro? He's in the middle of the main floor, which is covered in tatami mats. He's wearing the usual blue letterman jacket and black t-shirt, with black hip-hop pants. In his hands is a flag. Red flag. White flag.
Jiro yawns, "Man... I feel like that referee from Samurai Shodown."
The announcer speaks over towards Jiro, "Psst, you're a Chaos Agent. You know the rules, right?"
"Yeah yeah...." He shrugs, then he starts to draw his flags down. "Let's just get this over with...." Shrugging, he steps away to the middle.
The announcer looks over towards both sides, then he starts to grab to the microphone.
"Hello ladies and gentlemen who entered this..." Looking at the scowling Jiro, he clears his throat, "Well adjusted facilities of Gedo High." He coughs softly, "Ahem, anyway... Our match up.... who will represent White.... Gabriel Kai! The representative of red... Alma Towaru!"
Natsu has arrived.
Alma Towazu may be one of the few fighters on this planet who, when told he is on the Red side, decides to dress appropriately. Wearing slim red courderoys and a ribbed black cotton shirt, collar folded back and front partially unzipped, the copper-skinned youth unconsciously runs a hand through his hair to let his bangs fall where they will and steps forward from the shadows.
You might think the Gedo students would laugh. Perhaps they should. But most of them have seen Alma before, recognizing him as the guy who, apparently obliviously, wandered into the middle of Gedo looking for Daigo, only to prove himself worthy with substantial information on the previous disappearance of Jiro. So the Gedo students give him the mild respect due to insane people: the sort of "what the hell is he going to do next?" mentality that causes people to smile slightly, raise eyebrows, shake heads, and glance amongst themselves. None of them are affected by his good looks. Not a single one. At least, that's what they front!
Alma, standing straight, relaxed, poised, and highly unconcerned, casts Jiro a sidelong glance. His face is calm, stoic, and composed.
His new earring twinkles.
And he smiles, a sort of lopsided, half-helpless half-joking sort of smile, that causes his face to visibly relax and his eyes to sparkle.
~ How'd I get myself into *this* mess? ~
Kai Gabriel who for once hasn't been there on time, makes her entrance now. She's decked in a bizarre bastardization of cosplay and her Justice High uniform. First she has the typical justice top, a button down dress shirt with padded shoulders and a black tie, which she wears tucked in the third button. A clip adorning the tie has the justice emblem on it. Though she stops there, rather than the orange shorts, she wears a dark orange pair of shorts, spandex, for sporting and around a blood red sash she adorns a epee, one thought currently in a emerald green scabbard, Alma may recognize. If that wasn't enough, she has a cape over her shoulders to compliment or complete the outfit, black.
Not a look is given to anyone in particular, just a stern sort of once over to the whole of the dojo. Everyone watching, participating or otherwise. . You are all SINNERS. The look just radiates that thought.
"Tsch." Kai murmurs and brings a hand to clasp around the goddess pendant around her throat, then draws her sword, holding it down to one side. Her eyes narrow on Alma and she brings her other hand, open palmed to her shoulder in a ready stance. She'll just wait like this till they call 'Fight!'
Meanwhile Jiro is forgotten for now.

Eyeing the new earrings, Jiro peers towards Alma, "...Jesus christ." He throwshis hands up, twirling the flags around, "Nevermind, I'm not even going to bother saying it. You'll already know what I'll say." He turns around, rubbing his forehead with the red flag.
....
How lovely.
Jiro stares over towards Gabriel's entrance. She has the holier than thou look in her eyes. Facepalming a bit, Jiro grumbles to himself. "...Beautiful." He wants to clothesline her sorry ass first, but.... He'll wait to see who strikes first.
He pauses, then he considers.
"Heaven or Hell! Let's rock!"
Alma turns his head away from Jiro when Gabriel enters, and his smile fades. Again, he looks highly unconcerned, face mild, eyes open and aware but not revealing any particular emotion. He seems to lean back a bit, tilting his head back slightly as he gazes in his opponent's general direction. Then, his eyes actually soften, and lowering his head in a sort of pseudo-bow, he speaks gently but clearly. "I didn't mean to disappoint you," he says. "I'm just not easy to kill." He rolls his shoulders, raises his chin to its normal level, and shifts his stance subtly, seeming to both relax and coil into himself: but he makes no move just yet.
"D'you remember how we met, Kai-san?" he continues. He voice seems like it *should* be quiet, but somehow, it carries. "That man attacked us in the street. Ryuji Yamazaki. Remember? I barely knew you, but I fought him so that you and Xiangfei could escape. I would've sacrificed my life for you then."
And he grins.
"Why should things be any different now?"
~ I don't know if anyone else would do this, in response to being almost murdered. But... Mr. Duo Lon told me to define myself. I've always tried to define myself in conjunction with what I thought was the Way... and, okay, I still do. I still think this is Right. But it's more than that, now...
...I have to act this way. It's who I am.
I'm honest. ~
"I won't lose this time," he says, voice growing firmer as he coolly raises his hands into a guard position. "And when I win, you're going to tell me everything about why you attacked me." Seemingly inspiring himself somehow by his own words, finding his center through the act of speaking these things, coils of pinkish-purple Psycho Power begin to emanate from his forearms, trailing up mistily. "I won't allow anything less. You'll tell me everything--"
And then, eyes bright, he grins again... and winks.
"--over tea, preferably."

"After this match.. If I walk out of here, I will cease participating in these matches for a while.. . I think." Kai Gabriel says in a dark voice. She raises the sword then skyward.
"In the name of the Goddess of mercy, the glory of light shall spite thee. . EVIL!"
A rush is made, one all too familiar for someone who has seen her recently. She pushes off her back foot and leads with her other, almost more like a leap then a dash, her feet barely touch the ground while she lunges forward, the sword point aimed at Alma as she darts at him, giving a cry of,
"The absolute destiny for sinners can only be apocalypse!"
First strike made.
Good. He sees the person who made the first strike. When Gabriel is aiming to slash out towards Alma, the Stray Dog is attempting to thrust himself forward with the right arm lifted up.
He's aiming to clothesline the hell out of Gabriel.
Well, she -did- make first strike.
Nevermind Jiro dislikes her anyway.

Alma closes his eyes as Gabriel rushes him, taking a deep breath; whether for patience or for Psycho Power, it's hard to say. Then again, maybe for him, they're the same sort of deal.
Eyes closed, he catches the blade between his palms.
"You know," he murmurs, "I'm not sure I'll ever get what you mean by 'evil'."
He shoves the sword back, and twisting on his heel, his eyes open and flash in the light, and his right hand ignites with soul flame, which he then casts out with a sweeping upward chop. "SACRED WAVE!"

With a look of staunch determination, Kai draws the sword back, her eyes narrowed, her mouth opened with the effort. The sword hand, pushed back is used to lock her arm in front of the incoming attack of Jiro's, to whom she gives a glare of disapproval, but then Alma sends his 'sacred wave' at her. She tries to raise a hand to catch it but get caught by it instead and tumbles down onto the ground coughing as she does so. It's only with shaky arms that she manages to gradually push herself up from that.
"Honestly," Jiro states, glancing at Gabriel, "Bitch, you've proved yourself to be more evil than Alma. Shouldn't you be committing suicide or drinking some Kool-aid in Jonestown somewhere?"
He shrugs, then he glances over towards Alma.
Oh no, Jiro hasn't forgotten about Alma. In fact, Jiro switches over, aiming to thrust his right leg out at Alma's face. Not once. Not twice, but three times.
That is... before Jiro aims to switch back to the middle.

Alma dodges by standing behind Jiro.
It's pretty effective. Effective enough that he time to lunge in, and with an oddly delicate movement, grasp Jiro by his waist and pluck him up. "That," he intones, "is a highly inappropriate comment, Jiro-kun." Before his young rival can react, the handsome fighting model then twists on his feet, and with a patented Hiten-ryu stagger-step to get momentum--
"REPENT!"
--he hurls Jiro right at Gabriel.

Kai Gabriel does make an attempt to get out of the way of Jiro, but let's face it, he's pretty pudgy. So she ends up taking a full on smack of Jiro. This isn't how she had wanted things to go. Not at all. After all, who would? Alma thus far was untouched. Not a good start for a battle. With a grumble she moves to shove Jiro off to the side. This battle was already far to one sided for her taste. With a little running jump, she puts herself into the air to land on Alma's shoulders and ram a charged up burst of Chi into his face.
Her expression now isn't stern, it's just plain enraged, crazy how much wider and narrower her eyes can get. The shift is almost instant.
"I'm not done yet!" she cries.
Okay. That sucked. Jiro was used as a friggin projectile towards Gabriel's direction.
Damnit! His eyes widen, and he extends his arms out while shutting his eyes. He lands right on Gabriel. "Urgghh...." Meanwhile, Gedo and the audience are laughing at Jiro's fate.
Twitch twitch.
Jiro's foot + Alma = DEAD!
Fist + Alma = ****ING DEAD!
The options show what Jiro wants to do.
[(S)tomp a mudhole in Alma's ass, (B)reak Alma, (R)ip Alma's heart out, (C)rush Alma like a twig, (H)andle him in a second]
B is chosen.
Jiro grumbles as he sprints back to the middle, but he forms a spin while he's sprinting, as he's aiming to smack the right leg against the back of Alma's kneecap.

Alma has two secret weapons. The first, used only in desperate situations (when Benimaru is about to kill you; when you have to fight a duel with a ninja kid when you'd really rather just eat your green tea ice cream) is the Psycho Loom. Like a cat puffing up its fur, only involving the subconscious, and not... fur. It's actually dissauded Benimaru from turning Alma into a smear before, and thus, Alma likes to keep that unique ability hidden. It makes up for not having telepathy.
But the second... is the Zen Master's Spinning Slow-Motion Camera.
In a single fluid movement, Alma reacts to two simultaneous attacks with a single twist of his body. The blast of chi meant for his face echoes a half-inch away from doing any arm, and on the opposite side of him, Jiro's dangerous kick just barely fails to send Alma toppling to the ground.
Still bending back, Alma places one palm on the ground and hefts himself entirely onto it, his shirt falling down away from his abdominal muscles to reveal the strain placed on them as, with shocking speed, he performs a Yashiro Push Up, grunts, and pushes himself off the ground with one hand and into the air. He attempts to intercept a still-airborne Gabriel by igniting his legs and kicking at her face rapidly with cycling legs, a sort of improptu Psycho Rising Tackle.
"Uurryaaaa!"

Kai Gabriel isn't completely helpless in the air, she can wheel around, she can react, she can try to hit Alma back. But it doesn't work, the motion she makes to try and catch the attack seems a little slow, or out of sync, as a result it hits her, head on, every hit. Somewhere on the ground her sword lays, forgotten for the time being. A moment later she's landing next to it with a battered thud and an 'uggggu' sound. She doesn't get up.
Eagle goes somewhere else.
Jiro should had aimed at Alma's ass. Would of had better luck. The Stray Dog is mentally cursing to himself. He is going to kill Alma for this later.
But for now, he is watching Alma sackbeat the crap out of Gabriel. He chuckles for a moment, then he hrms. Oh yeah... There is that deal of where being a Chaos Agent might pay off after all. Jiro watches Gabriel fall against the ground.
What is this?
Well... Jiro heads over towards where Gabriel's at, then he starts to slide over to roll against her in a skidding motion, before flipping himself up. Almost like a Swanton Dive.

Brick!
The rolling Jiro is stopped by a single outthrust palm. There is a flash of light, summoning into existence a shield-shaped gold-pink auric barrier, before the Gedo student is knocked back harmlessly.
Alma *glares*. His eyes burn with an overwhelming passion, and his bangs lift up slightly, tense from the static energy. He seems to grow slightly with his intake of power. I mentioned the Psycho Loom? This is pretty much it.
"This," he says, with complete, unaffected calmness, all the more disorienting for how the sound clashes with the way he looks, "is no longer your concern."
He turns to the fallen Gabriel, and he walks towards her, with calm resolution. Along the way, without even looking, he slips his foot under the hilt of her sword and flips it away. It lands buried in a tatami mat just outside of the line signalling the borders of the match, perfectly vertically straight. He reaches Gabriel... and thrusts a hand out.
"Get up."
He hasn't stopped glaring.
"This isn't over. I won't let it end like this. I won't!" Amazingly, his shoulders shake slightly, as though, for once, holding something back. "GET UP!" he barks, and a invisible, mild shockwave of aura is cast throughout the room, causing some stunned audience members to jerk back slightly.

What a gentleman. Kai herself as she grits her teeth from the shock that the ground had on a unsuspecting system, looks her eyes finally focusing on Alma and his hand. Well that's more shocking than anything else. How foolish. Still she waves the hand away, not quite able to accept THAT much kindness and picks herself up. She walks over to her sword, picks that up too and puts it into it's sheath, driving it home and then draws a breath before exhaling and turning to face Alma.
"Very well. " it's hardly more than a whisper now.

Okay. Jiro was denied of knocking the hell out of Gabriel with the rolling strike, and was kicked back into position. "..." Jiro's not too happy with it. When Alma glares, so does Jiro. The icy cool glare is extinguished as the Stray Dog tightens his fists.
Rolling back to his feet, Jiro grunts. The eruption of Psycho Power sends Jiro stumbling a bit.
Growling, he turns to draw his right hand over towards Alma's shoulder. Why? Jiro's aiming to roughly turn his friend around.

The best defenses, according to Hiten-ryu, are those that give you more momentum than you use. Expend as little movement getting out of the way as you can, and turn your defense into an attack as quickly as possible. Alma has always agreed with this philosophy, and that's why he's never tried to learn a different style.
Clearly, it works out well for him.
It's a slight twitch, really. A subtle duck of his shoulder. But Jiro's hand coasts over the shoulder he was going to grab, and with a gentle brotherly movement, Alma's arm, swinging around from his dipping shoulder, swings up, and he places a palm on Jiro's back before providing a gentle shove, sending the kid stumbling away without doing any damage. The Gedo students might snicker again at this, but most are shocked.
Since when has Alma been *this* awesome?
Meanwhile, the whole time he's been dodging-without-looking, he's been focusing on something completely different: a ball of Psycho Power gathering in his other hand. Meeting Gabriel's eyes, with a simple grunt, he hurls it at her, and it expands as it travels through the air, aiming to cover her in a blanket of flame.

Kai Gabriel knows that attack, under normal circumstances she could probably cover it, even send it back, but something seems to be clouding her today.. she quite literally doesn't seem able to pull anything off. The psycho energy washes over and leaves Gabriel on the ground. There isn't a sound, but luckily. . There are medics around, who will get her out of there before anyone can confront her. This isn't the time for Gabriel to be caught, no not yet. She can't handle dealing with Alma, or anyone else for that matter when she's in this condition. She looks peaceful actually. Strangely.
Gentle shove.
Grunt.
A sigh is given by the Stray Dog, who looks rather irritated. Meh. He shrugs softly, then he starts to take several steps back.
Glaring at both Alma and Gabriel, Jiro just throws his hands into the air. So much for going for the kill. Jiro lifts a hand up into the air, pulling out a red flag.
"WINNER! Alma Towazu!" He lifts the red flag up towards Alma's direction.
He glances around, then he shrugs softly. He lets the fans cheer tremendiously at the battle. Due to the uproar of the crowd, Jiro lets them enjoy the results of the match.
After a moment, Jiro calls out, "Now those that are not Gedo should GET THE **** OUT NOW!" He calmly states, looking more than irritated.
He smiles, patting Alma on the shoulder, "Good match Alma, you won.." He pats him on the back, aiming to turn his friend around.

After turning Alma around, the Stray Dog thrusts his right foot out towards the gut of the bronze-skinned young man, aiming to position himself close enough to where Jiro can turn around and wrap both arms over the face of Alma.
While grasping the face, he aims to put Alma's chin underneath his shoulder. And when Jiro leaps up and comes down....
THE STUNNER! THE STUNNER! OH DEAR GOD! THE STONE COLD STUNNER!
Jiro throws the middle finger in the air, grumbling as he is starting to leave, looking rather pissed off.
With the match over, the equipment are being put back in place, but the Gedo students are cheering Jiro on.
One of the Gedo students hits the stereo..
*WINDOW SHATTER!* Stone Cold Steve Austin Entrance theme!
As the Gedo kids leave, the large doors to the main Gedo Dojo left wide open in their wake, various sounds from outside echo through the large room. The sound of other kids fighting, of cars driving by outside, all sorts of classic city sounds. And abruptly, most of them stop, something outside... distracting the children from their play. The cries could be heard within the Dojo, so loud were they.
"HEY! FAIRY!"
"Oh God, is that a guy or a girl?" "No idea, man, but do you really want to find out?"
They continue for a short moment, until the last loud call is abruptly cut off. "HOW MUCH MAKEUP IS HE WEA-HRK" Something soft hitting something hard, the sound of a heavy body thrown to the ground. And then a snap. "MY LEG! CHRIST, MY LEG!"
No more sounds leave the courtyard, and quite inexorably, the slender, tall form of Duo Lon steps through the open doors. He looks kinda cool, wreathed in light from the outside like that. Anyway, he doesn't move after entering the room, but a soft "tsk" sound leaves his lips at the Stunner administered by Jiro.
"Alma... looks like you've won."

After putting Alma in the stunner, Jiro merely holds out a hand for one of the Gedo gangsters to toss him a can of strawberry soda. And then another. He flips open both switches, then he clamps them together and begins guzzling them down.
...Then he notices Alma unleashing his Gyser of energy.
Jiro immediately rolls away from the incoming gyser of energy from the ground. He tosses both of the cans outward, unaware(or uncaring) that Duo Lon is nearby. In fact, the cans fall at Duo Lon's head.
Jiro walks over towards Alma, then he calmly approaches him.
Winds one hand back.
He swings the backpalm against Alma's cheek.

Alma 1/-----==/=======|=------\-------\0 Jiro
"Wait... it was a three way? Or a two on one successive? That doesn't seem very fair.." Lost in thought and entirely not expecting the thrown objects, Duo is struck in the forehead by a can of strawberry soda, a wince and grunt preceeding a quick slap to the next one. The Hizoku simply walks to the other side of the Arena, skirting the battlefield carefully, withdrawing a fight brochure from his jacket. Sitting down, and looking at the thing.
"Chaos Agent. Maybe something changed in the fight. Huh."
Maybe this wasn't a good idea. Alma's getting tired, and he has to go after Kai-san...
...the thought of her distracts him long enough for what Psycho Power he's gathered again to fizzle, and he doesn't even sense the attack coming until Jiro's right on top of him.
SMACK.
Alma's face is jerked to the side, and though he doesn't stagger, he looks pretty wide-eyed for a moment. He recovers surprisingly quickly, though. He certainly gave his all last fight, but it looks like he's still got more to give. The crowd is going nuts, despite Jiro's order for them to leave, and the cameramen are arguing amongst themselves -- the SNF fight is over, and they're supposed to be going home, but one cameraman insists they keep rolling tape...
Alma's power rises, and his clothes start to ripple around him as he just stares Jiro right in the eye, both standing there in the center of the room as the students and visitors cheer together. It's totally a pro-wrestling moment.
One alabaster eyebrow lifts, the rest of his face completely unchanging.
Damnit. How annoying. Jiro glares at Alma as he starts to to stare into his eyes. Glaring at Alma, Jiro merely snarls and glares upward towards Alma...
..Then he turns around.
...After turning around, Jiro immediately shifts his weight over to give Alma a wake up call with the clothesline.
"Call me an irritated Chaos Agent. The official match's over."

Alma 1/=======/=======|==-----\-------\0 Jiro
Natsu peeks up from in the croud. She looks at the now ensuing fight. This isn't want was on the play card. She shakes her head. She's been here the whole time, of course, skulking in the crouds and trying not to be noticed, the 6' Amazon hopes. However, since the fight seems to have gone beyone official bounds, she steps to the front of the croud. Jiro, why you always gotta make people hit you?
After Alma attempts to clothesline the Stray Dog in order to counter his own, Jiro immediately ducks away from Alma, glaring at his friend. Tightening his fists, the Stray Dog immediately reaches the hand out to grab at the back of Alma's back collar.
Grrrr....
His eyes glower omniously, then he winds his right fist back. "SEI!" Tightening the fist, Jiro is now in a hard horse stance. Then, he drives the fist out, "DO!" He aims to drive his fist right at the gut of Alma, aiming to send him flying.
Then, Jiro starts walking towards where he made Alma soar. ...Likely towards the wall, where there will be an Alma imprinted wall. Jiro's pissed.
The Gedo students? They're cheering like mad.
Duo Lon looks up from the pamphlet in his hands, eyes hitting legs. And then more legs. He looks up further, to encounter longer lengths of legs, and eventually just stands, eye to eye with... A GIRL. "You're the girl from Metro." Duo steps forward, taking a place at her side. "You look like you've been here a while... what happened? Jiro was supposed to be the chaos agent."
Natsu looks down, shocked at the man before her. She smiles, and takes a seat next to Duo Lon, nodding in recognition. She points, "Well, " She looks at her play card, "Alma, I believe, was doing very well. Gabriel tried to turn some flashy moves, but mostly just took a beating this time. I think Jiro got carried away afterwards." She reflects on her knowledge of the dog. "He seems to do that." She shrugs. "I'm Natsu Ayuhara." She nods.
Ash has arrived.
Natsu looks down, shocked at the man before her. She smiles, and takes a seat next to Duo Lon, nodding in recognition. She points, "Well, " She looks at her play card, "Alma, I believe, was doing very well. Gabriel tried to turn some flashy moves, but mostly just took a beating this time. I think Jiro got carried away afterwards. Something to do with Jiro being used as a weapon at one point." She reflects on her knowledge of the dog. "He seems to do that." She shrugs. "I'm Natsu Ayuhara." She nods.
"Gghhuh!"
Alma hits the wall, bounces off, twists, and hits the floor on his back, where he rests for a bit. Looks like his awesomeness has left him as his fight as become more more-fun than noble. The crowd continues to enjoy the huge turnaround. But when he flips himself over and begins to rise, he looks up, and though he looks battered -- he's grinning, again.
If pain was, on some level, irrelevant to you, and losing fights could never get you down, how would *you* feel about helping people to cheer?
"Last time," he says, still grinning, his eyes sparkling, "I got you with a revised technique, one that you had been able to counter before." He raises his right hand, and as flames ignite in his eyes, his hand begins to glow pure white. "Let's see if we can re-enact that, shall we?"
Stepping forward, his eyes glowing until they become fully pink-purple with summoned Psycho Power, he thrusts out his palm. "Surrender!" he shouts, and crackling bolts of Psycho Power lightning, as of yet unheard of in Alma's repetoire, lance out at Jiro's soul...
COMBATSYS: Jiro blocks Alma's The One Strike.

Alma 0/-------/----===|====---\-------\0 Jiro
Mimiru has arrived.
The crackling bolts of lightning deal damage, and for a moment, Jiro's aura, what there is of it, seems to flicker into existence. The tendrils wrap around it, as though trying to steal it away... but they fail. The true essence of the technique is unsuccessful.
Alma deflates, just a bit.
"Humph..."
The Stray Dog grumbles under his breath, tightening the leather glove. After readjusting the glove, Jiro immediately shfits his eyes towards the glowing Alma. When he starts to erupt the flames along the form, Jiro immediately draws his hands back, gathering his aura together as he guards the raw power of Psycho Energy from seeping away his chi.
The aura dies down, this leaves Jiro to run towards Alma, immediately igniting the purple flames in his grasp. However, the flames die away, this leaves Jiro to take a daring leap into the air, then he draws to swing the right foot up into the air. With it glimmering, it immediately comes down at Alma's head, aiming to plant his face into the ground.
And out from the crowd walks...
...ASH CRIMSON.
While he completely stands out in the Gedo swarm, somehow he managed to sneak right up to the edge of the fight, as if he were some sort of ghost or perhaps ninja. The platinum-haired foreigner smiles beatifically, glancing from Alma to Jiro to Duo Lon. To the Hizoku he calls out, "Hey! Duo Lon! Does your blood boil with a dangerous fury? I can't believe you're standing there."
The teen giggles, as if that were a joke.
And then he walks right into the danger zone, heedless of Jiro and Alma duking it out.

Alma dodges by standing behind Jiro.
It's easier this time, since he jumped into the air at all. Wordlessly, he lunges forward, and attempts to grab Jiro in a similiar manner to before: only a bit rougher this time. "Ash-san!" he calls out. Normally, he'd have no idea, what with the lack of any aura; but he was able to see the sparkle of that hair out of the corner of his eye, and there's no mistaking it. There's also no time to wonder what the heck he's doing here. "I got a present for you!"
And he attempts to hurl Jiro at Ash.
But Jiro's geared up now... this might not be quite so easy.
See, what some people never understood about Ash's crew is that they worked on levels that are largely subliminal. Just as Natsu asks him his name, Ash steps out from the crowd, resplendent in red leather and girlish innocence. Or lack thereof. Duo Lon's name, the asking of fury... it's a clarion call to battle! Duo steps out from the opposite side of the arena, wiggling fingers at Natsu. "I'm sure you heard it just now. A pleasure, Ms. Ayuhara. I'll have to find you again sometime."
"You caught it too, Ash?" The Hizoku simply grins as he walks into the danger area as well, moving to stand next to his friend. "We'll see how well the team works, now. It takes guts to beat a man outside of the rules of a fight. I won't stand for it."
And the ninja suddenly flares with bluish-purple energy, the stuff licking over his arms and legs. "We just have to wait for the setup, now. I'm confident Alma knows what to do.. he's got the moxie to be on our level."

Of course, Alma is having a better luck of things now. Especially when his friends are startingt o get involved. Jiro is not too happy, especially when he is hurled over towards Ash's direction. So instead of being able to plant Alma to the wall, he is sent flying towards Ash's direction.

Ash stops, maybe to listen to Alma, maybe to smile slyly at Duo. Whatever he was doing, his eyes slide back to the incoming Jiro.
For a brief moment, the teen considers his options.
And then he falls backwards, laughing in the face of gravity and executing a preternatural flip kick which involves not only feet, but a burst of green flames.
/Real/ flames, mind you. None of that chi stuff.

Duo Lon watches his companion arc upwards in a picture-perfect Nivose, rolling his eyes when Jiro flies straight by. "Ash, I thought you were better than this. Did you forget your contacts?"
In any case, Duo doesn't do anything, instead turning towards Alma and holding a fist upward, finger extended and waving around in a circle. "Do it again, Alma. We need to work on this."

Natsu stands up as Duo Lon walks away from her. She glances at what's happening in the ring. Three on one? That's not very fair. Granted Jiro was wailing on ALma a bit, but. She can't let the trio have their way with her 'friend.' Well, maybe she can't do anything about it. But she's willing to try...

Alma nods to Duo Lon. "Yes..."
As soon as Jiro begins to sail toward the ground, he's lunged. Those lunges are pretty good, you know. It's what Hiten-ryu is all about.
Leaping up as Jiro comes down, he aims for Jiro's right upper arm, preparing to twist it around, swing hard, and throw him at Ash... again.
"Take two!"

Okay, so Jiro is getting set up for something, right? Right.
Well, Ash is preparing to unleash his flipping kick over towards the Stray Dog. This is while his feet are on fire.
Homey don't play that.
Jiro immediately shifts his body over, trying to gain some momentum to have his feet clash against Ash's flipping foot, using it to propel him over towards Alma's direction without taking the brunt of the damage.
And as Jiro is flying towards Alma, Jiro is gripping at ALma's arms whenhe is trying to swing him again. Drawing forth the momentum that he used to propel himself against Ash...
He grips at Alma's wrist as he swings downward, twisting the arm as he reverses the position. Swinging Alma around in a three-sixty spin cycle, the Stray Dog is swinging Alma around and around...
Until he hangs Alma upside down. "**** YOU!" After he slams Alma to the ground, then he points at Ash and Duo Lon. He growls, "Hmph. Bitches."
Ash misses the blow, landing lightly on his feet and putting a finger to his cheek. "He threw crooked, or I kicked crooked. Either way, I guess we'll all have to go straight!"
This proves to be hilarious, as it doubles Ash over in another bout of giggles.
When he straights up, Jiro is calling him a bitch. The teen saunters closer, a hand on his hip. "Look, ese, that's not how we roll."
Crimson leaps the last distance between him and Kasagi, nimbly pirouetting behind Jiro and flicking a blast of flame at the back of his head. It's more of a taunting move than anything serious.
COMBATSYS: Ash successfully hits Jiro with Brumaire.

Natsu sees Jiro get blown away by Ash's jump. She shakes her head. Pf course, at this stage, backing down hasn't even entered into her head. She palms a volleyball in one hand, and yells over to Ash. "Hey! Pick on someone your own size." She tosses the ball up into the air, and strikes it with her palm, sending the ball hurtling at Ash.

"Ms. Ayuhara, you're almost two meters tall..." Duo understands that his words will go unheeded, but the Hizoku already makes busy, sprinting forward. The young man has almost unparalleled ground speed, a black blur along the tatami mats, afterimages, purplish streaks galore. It looks /cool/. Duo encroaches on Ash's position just as Natsu strikes that ball, and leaps into the air. He's a ninja. He can do this.
Not only that, his profile says he's good at all sports.
A quick turn in the air ceases with the ninja's right foot coming out to kick the ball straight upward, knocking it towards the ceiling. Duo Lon flickers a second after that, and reappears a foot or so above the ball's expected peak, his foot coming out once more, wreathed in purplish chi energies, to simply knock the volleyball straight back downward.
At Jiro Kasagi.
The ninja falls a good thirty feet to the ground, beside Ash, landing with a soft "thump".
"You owe me, I think."
On a side note, that volleyball is totally on fire.
Ash asides to Duo Lon, "In return I'll forget that time you choked on crab meat in Shanghai."
Alma magically transforms, over the course of several second, from a heap on the ground to a sort of wobbling, standing heap. Clearly battered beyond his normal endurance, the handsome but bedraggled youth takes another deep breath (as if that's going to do anything for his condition) and steels his resolve one last time.
And, yes, he grins again. Boy, can he take a beating with grace.
Summoning his flames one last time, he lunges forward, his resolve enough to make him move just barely fast enough to get there in time for Duo Lon's attack, and he slashes his arm up, sending a gout of Psycho Power flame.
Jiro's got in a triangle of attacks, and one's already hit him.
"SACRED WAVE!"
Whatever happens now, it's going to be classy.

Alright.
This isn't good. Why? Well, the Stray Dog did asked for it, but he's getting a brutal beating.
The flick of flames strike the back of his head. Although it was not serious to Ash, it hurts like hell. This is not the best day that Jiro's having. He hisses out in writhing pain.
Okay, calling Ash a bitch is a bad idea. Even if he does look like a fruit.
Although Natsu comes to his aid, it goes in vain as the deathly chi consumes the volleyball, and it comes down towards the Jiro's foreheadhead. It hurts. A lot. However, he's taking a tight stance.
Then... the cherry to the topping is the Sacred Wave coming Jiro's way....
Smoke erupts from where Jiro stands at. ....It looks like Jiro's likely to be unconscious in a crater. No response is given. However, the Gedo Gang start growing worried.
...Until Jiro comes forward from the depths of the blistering smog and landfilled mess. Jiro's charging straight at Alma, aiming to reach his hands forward towards Alma's collar.
Fury in his eyes, the crimson flames are starting to rupt in his hands as he reaches to grab at Alma's chest. First, it'll feel like a doubling punch to the gut.

Alma rushes right at Jiro, eyes blazing, and roars with battle fury.
"RYYYAAGHH!"
He manages to light himself on fire, and there's a blinding explosion when he hits Jiro, but...
As painful as Jiro's state is, he's going to make sure that his friend goes down with him in the pain. First off, Jiro grips tighter, letting the purple flaming chi of pure hatred erupt along his form. The blood soaked youth tightens his stance, immediately as he prepares to collide in the form off resonating energy.
His purple flames erupt and swirl against his entire form, almost like a serpent.
Tightening his hold, Jiro erupts, "DIE!"
He draws his hands downward, letting a gyser of the blossoming flames erupt against Alma to send him into the air. Not once. Not twice. But three times.
And then....
Jiro collapses to the ground, unconscious.
Ash dances backwards, putting a hand on his hip, flicking his hair out of his eyes for a brief second.
"Purple chi in the form of flames, huh? He must work for that Kain clown. Hey, is your name Jiro Heinlein?!"
The teen pauses as Alma is liberally smacked the shit out of. He gives Jiro another chance to say something, which doesn't work.
"Ah, he is UNCONSCIOUS."

For about a second.
It's a dramatic second, though.
Alma keels over, smiling faintly, and sleeps.
Natsu steps back as well. She looks at the other two gentlemen. Seeing that they don't seem to want her blood, she runs over to Jiro, to make sure he's not quite, you know, dying yet. She keeps her eyes ont he two, but she doesnt' seem to have anything planned for right now.

"And THAT'S what you get for beating up on our teammate." Duo nods to himself as Ash teases Jiro, understanding that the crew's leader is just getting in his last kicks.
His face sours as Ash declares Jiro*YES JIRO* unconscious, though, and the Hizoku hops into the crater to pick the young model up, slinging him over a shoulder(Duo's not THAT weak).
"Heavier than he looks. Should we take him out to eat with us?" A quick look to Natsu. "In any case, it's been a pleasure getting to know you, Ms. Ayuhara."
Natsu scoops up under Jiro, and hoists him, seemingly effortlessly onto her shoulder. "As with you, Mr. Lon" She nods, and starts to get Jiro some medical attention.
Ash giggles, "'Mr. Lon.'"
