Description: (5/4/07) 'Fists to the Future!' - In a match that works in D!'s favor, can Alan and Marisol team up and bring the boxer down without kicks at their disposal? (Winners: Alan and Luc)
Ah, Metro City. Feels good to be back in the States after that extended stay in Kyoto pushing guns'n'drugs - not that anyone here could even suspect that Alan R.B. was actually a MEMBER OF THE CRIMINAL ORGANIZATION R! THE ENEMY IS UNDER YOUR NOSES AND YOU HAVE NO IDEA AAAHAHAHAHHAAHHAHAHAHAahhaghhghhg. More to the point, Alan lazily ensures that his iron rings are secure in each finger, smirking over at Heavy D!. The blonde's father once went up against the larger boxer and was pretty soundly beaten - even the uncaring jerkwad Alan is today feels a little bit of a responsibility to show up his old man, if nothing else.
He takes a few high-speed practice swings, fists trailing arcs of electricity, and moves into his stance. The cigarette drops from Alan's mouth to be crushed under a boot.
Luc Schroedinger feels a bit like the odd man out today as he stands behind his smoking, cocky-looking partner. Not that he minds it; in the end, this is just another fight, even if he doesn't quite fit the 'theme' apparent in the other two opponents. Instead of looking anxious or worried, Luc instead just stares lazily at the sky above them today, slipping his hands into his pockets in a picture of casual confidence. He's never really heard of 'Heavy D!' before, and can only silently wonder over how odd of a name it is to have; the man doesn't look particularly heavy to him. But he's not here to judge. He's only here for one thing: to fight strong people.
So, in his mind, Heavy D! must at least be decently strong if he requires two opponents instead of one. Exhaling a breath, Luc's gaze falls down, resting first on Alan to consider the other man with his bored, green gaze. "Well, I GUESS this outta be interesting," Is the only thing he provides in terms of commentary as he lifts a hand to his head, scratching idly at the base of his scalp -- just waiting for the match to begin.
Heavy D! probably doesn't remember Alan's father too well. Sure, he remembers his days in the underground circuit and the undercard as a journeyman, but it's not exactly a time of his life he's fond of remembering. As it is, D! certainly doesn't recognize Alan in any way. Luc even more so. He just sees two fighters in front of him, across the ring. Two fighters meant for him to face head on. Shadowboxing furiously to keep himself limber and loose, the wedgehawked one warms up. No matter what skill levels, two against one is always a dicey proposition, especially when you're enclosed within those ring ropes.
In any case, as introductions are made, D! walks forward, the intros buzzing in his ear for the most part. They're really inconsequential anyways for the fighters in the ring. Him...he's focused on the task at hand. He damn well better be, if he's going to take on two men in a fistfight.

If Alan were to be told right now that Heavy D! did not remember his father at all, his response would be a shrug and a sneer. To the boxer, this isn't about getting back at Heavy D!, this is only about being better than his father, and even then it's not exactly something he's broken up about. He cares a lot more about how Luc is not Marisol, a lady name that potentially belonged to an attractive one. He squints at him. "Just remember, kid, no kicks. You don't look like a boxer and I don't want to end up disqualified because the substitute got dumb. Hear me?" He turns back to !, rolls his neck with a few pops, and then dashes forward at him. His hands trail ample electricity as he moves with significant speed to lay a hook across the bigger boxer's face before he can react.
Get dumb? Luc yawns as Alan speaks, a gesture that might be considered rude; but really, he just felt like yawning, and he's not going to hold it back for ettiquete's sake. What he says next, though, could quite possibly be construed as rude: "Maan, go to hell. I know what to do. Geeze..." Luc's focus, much like Alan's, returns to Heavy D!, considering the man with squinted eyes as he slowly cracks his knuckles. ".. hmph. Well, he doesn't look very interesting."
A brief pause. Luc's leg tense, and in that very moment, he springs /forward/, pushing off the ground and running almost parallel to Alan. His own fist burns with black and blue chi that slowly encases his entire arm. He, unlike Alan, darts /past/ Heavy D!, moving to land just behind him and jam his elbow straight into the back of the boxer's head at the same moment Alan punches it. No legs. An elbow isn't a leg, right?

Like it was noted before: no matter the skill level of your opponents, 2 on 1 is dicey business. It's hard to defend against two attacks at the same time, especially without the use of your legs. While D! was used to fighting with feet planted, it still doesn't help him much. Sure, he manages to get his arms in front of Alan's fist before it can connect to his face, but Luc's chi-encased elbow manages to strike the side of his head that's not guarded, forcing D! to fall back. Grunting, he decides that, for the time being, he's the more worrisome target. Quickly, he turns about, snapping a hard hook toward Luc's ribs in hopes of knocking the wind out of him a little.
Luc's rude response provokes only a grin from Alan - let it not be said that he is incapable of taking what he dishes out - and the grin persists even as Heavy D! stops his blow and in so doing takes Luc's. As the heavyweight changes his target, Alan backs off and takes a guarded stance, up on the balls of his feet and ready to move in an instant. The lightning bolt bang starts fluttering as electric chi crackles in a circle around his feet, travelling up his body and centering around his iron rings.
COMBATSYS: Alan gathers his will.

A quick, swiping punch. Most people might be concerned, given Heavy D!'s obvious strengths. As the boxer turns to drive that lightning-fast punch into Luc's ribs, though, he might notice one thing: Luc is actually moving INTO the strike, pushing forward as soon as Heavy D! had staggered. The blow hurts -- it hurts like hell, in fact, and as soon as it connects Luc spits out, his breath forcibly released from his lungs. But despite it, he powers through, leaping FORWARD and into D! to deliver one of his faster moves. However, because of restrictions, it's a bit altered. Instead of a simple kick being aimed for Heavy D!'s face, Luc follows with a leaping uppercut aimed straight for the boxer's jaw, a spiral of black chi blazing upwards in his wake to burn as well as physically strike. "GRAAH!"

It's a rather unique strike. However, the way it's shot out, it's fairly telegraphed. Enough that D!'s able to drive his forearm against the wrist of Luc's outstretched hand, knocking the lunging uppercut away, leaving Luc fairly out in the open. Open enough for a retaliatory strike of D!'s. Nothing quite as fancy as the Tyrant Strike. No, it's just one hell of a right hook to the airborne Luc's solar plexus. If the first hook took Luc's breath away...
While Heavy D! has been busy focusing on Luc, Alan's been maneuvering behind him - and when D! makes his latest swing, Alan flickers forward with a sneer, both hands crackling with power. He brings his hands together hard, aiming right at the bigger man's lower back. When his hands meet either each other of D!'s back, there's an explosion of sound and force, hopefully enough to send D! flying away for some distance. "Thunderclap!"

... then the second hook is going to probably get defended against. Luc might be crazy, but he knows well enough when it would just be impractical to continue taking shots. Case in point: When Heavy D! coems with that second hooking punch, Luc's already seen it all before; so when it comes AGAIN, he's more than prepared to block with his hands, sending a brief stinging sensation through his arms before he leaps /backwards/ and away from the pair. From there? He's going to take a moment to watch Alan attack Heavy D! with... thunder, or something. "Boxers are freaks." He decides, after a long moment of silence.

When you fight two men, you have to have eyes in the back of your head sometimes.
Then again, good ears are just as useful. D!'s ears save him from a back attack as he suddenly pivots away from the sudden clap and the burst of thunderous energy it sends out. He barely avoids being sent flying, and it's enough to let D! return his focus back onto his first opponent. While he's tempted to go after Alan for that, he knows that it's better to keep your eyes on taking out one half of the equation first. Thus, he goes after the spikey haired man again, this time surging forward with a few chi-embued punches of his own, trying to overwhelm with shadowy jabs and short hooks straight to the face.
Alan snorts as Heavy D! manages to get away from his technique, and he opens up his right hand. The rules outlawed kicks, but they sure didn't outlaw much else. "Let's see how you deal with this..." The lightweight takes a big step back, a large ball of chi forming in his right hand, which he pulls up and back. Alan swings his hand down and across, snapping his fingers and sending a bolt of lightning at Heavy D!'s back. "Strike!" Then, with barely a half-second's pause, he swings his hand back up to point at his opponent, snapping his fingers and sending out another bolt. "Twice!"

Fast though Heavy D! may be, it seems that his flurry of strikes is slightly slower than the reaction time of Luc, as the belligerent youth begins to weave through the onrush of chi-punches with remarkable swiftness, head snapping to either side in order to evade each of the jabs. As soon as it's over, Luc doesn't seek to gain more ground; rather, he grins wide, seeking to take a firm grasp of D!'s right hand. If successfull, he'll lift the boxer straight off the ground before pressing his left palm against D!'s chest, delivering a short, sudden BURST of black-sapphire chi intent on being used to rocket the man straight into Alan's attack. It seems Luc's the target this time around. That's fine. He'll take whatever hits come his way.

Alas, D! can't seem to bowl over Luc with the shadowy flurry, forced to chase after the delinquent to no avail. Alas, he can't really do much about that. What he can do, however, is make the best of a messy situation. When Luc presses his palm against D!'s chest and blasts him back, D! tenses up the best he can, forcing himself to keep his ground rather than elet himself be bowled over. And when Alan snaps out dual bolts of lightning, the boxer is forced to react. "HAAAH!!" Turning toward his opponent, he swings out a heavy uppercut, an explosion forming from the force of the swing that swalows up not just one, but both bolts as it expands toward Alan. Sure, he wanted to focus on Luc, but considering the situation, it was the best defensive move he could make.

So /that's/ how he's going to handle that. That, right there, that is fantastic. Grade-A quality GODDAMNIT
Alan R.B. knows he can't get out of the way fast enough, which is quite unfortunate when your entire style is based on doing things quickly. The boxer tries to pull up his guard, but can't get it in fast enough and is just blasted back by the explosion. Alan's vest is a bit frayed now, but his hair remains absolutely perfect. He had to have smuggled out some NESTS hair gel or something.
Still, he gives no ground, going back into his stance and sneering at Heavy D!. Electricity starts coursing around him again as he pulls in more delicious chi power.

Well, it seems that Luc gets a momentary reprieve from Heavy D!'s assault, only giving a cursory glance towards Alan as he's struck with that rushing blast of chi. "Everybody trying to be so fancy..." He mutters as once more electricity crackles around Alan in an impressive display.
Luc might not be able to do anything impressive like that, he still has his own stunts to pull. As Heavy D! deals with Alan's projectile, Luc is already on the run, rushing towards the boxer in a sudden burst of speed. He twists while moving, spinning as his right hand snaps outward in an attempt to simply backhand Heavy D! with a sudden burst of dark-blue and violet chi. It's not particularly hard hitting, of course; just relatively fast.

While he keeps mindful of Alan, D! at least knows he's forced the rather 'shocking' man into a backpedal. The sudden coursing electricity through the man is worrisome...but again, D! feels it's best to focus on the task before him. Turning back to Luc, he charges straight in, letting the swift backhand strike him in the top of his head. Even as it makes his head reel slightly, the boxer doesn't shy away. He instead, tries to drive into Luc with a simple left hand to the chest of his own.
Alan catches Luc - barely, but there it is - and smirks at him, looking at him over the top of his shades. "What, you think I have to /try?/" Laughing to himself, he closes the distance between himself and Heavy D! again, and predicting that he's already waiting for an attack from behind, suddenly darts around to the heavyweight's right side, coming inside his punch, delivering a spray of quick punches before ducking away. Lightning crackles and sparks fly with every motion of his hand.

Unfortunately, once more Luc is a bit too much on top of his game to be caught by surprise by the other man's assault. As the boxer strikes out, Luc's right hand snaps backwards, intercepting the punch in his palm and taking a single step backwards. "Heh..." He pauses for only a moment, before the young German breaks out in crazed laughter, snapping out a single hand to grasp Heavy D! squarely by the face. If successful, he'll lift just in time for Alan to pepper the man with light blows, before twisting and SLAMMING D! into the ground with a single, strong burst of black-red chi. "HAHAHA! You hit pretty hard, don't you!?"

Interesing laugh Luc has. However, the crazed laughter isn't enough to set D! on edge. He's actually pretty calm even as his faced is grabbed. When the blows come, he manages to deflect them well enough, before grabbing Luc's arm once the smalller man tries to lift him. Pulling himself out of the spikey man's grasp, he quickly turns to see Alan trying to barrage his right side with a load of quick jabs. That's quickly stifled, however, as D! swings his own fist in, disrupting Alan's rhythm with a swift left high on his ribs.
The strike lifts Alan just off his feet, sending him a few yards away before he backsteps a few more. He secures his sunglasses, rolling his shoulders and clasping his hands together. "C'mon... is that all you could bring to the table?!" Grinning, Alan leaps forward, a red haze flowing out from him as he starts spinning through the air. "Hammer of Thunder..." A tremendous amount of chi gathers into Alan's hands, bright enough to hurt onlookers' eyes and make everything else seem darker in comparision. Alan R.B. travels the distance between himself and D! in amazing speed, both hands coming around right at the bigger man's head with a roar of thunder loud enough to shake the ground. Even over it, Alan's voice can be heard: "MJOLNIR!"
Well, not quite successful, but it's not really that big a deal to Luc. It seems that focus has once more shifted off him and back to Alan, however, and so he takes a single step backwards as the bulk of his attack is deflected. ... Just in time to see Alan go apeshit on Heavy D!. Watching that tremendous surge of chi throughout the area, Luc blinks, before clenching his hands into fists. "Heh... HAHAH! THAT'S AWESOME!" So awesome, Luc decides to accompany the man in his sudden surge of motion by gathering chi up at his feet. The sudden onrush of energy EXPLODES from underneath him, sending him literally /flying/ towards Heavy D! headfirst, his entire spikey head encased by a burning veil of black chi. Apparently, he plans on rocketing himself into D! in a single, chi-y headbutt. "GRAAAAAAAAAAGH!!"

Well...the chi-rocketing headbutt is handled easily enough. D! drops his elbows and pushes himself away with his arms from the psycho, managing to incur minimal damage.
The lightning strike, though....D! can't seem to recover quick enough to get his head out from Alan's grasp, and with a shock, electricity courses through the boxer's form, causing him to nearly collapse from the sudden electrocution. "Nnghh...." How he manages to stay up, it's anyone's guess...but he doesn't seem prepared to back down, judging from the glare in his eyes. HIs arms, hanging by his side after the attack, slowly come back up, eyes hardening even as he coughs painedly. He's not backing down...no way...

Alan keeps going right past Heavy D! after his hit, landing on the ground in a kneeling position with one last shockwave of chi exploding along the ground around him. Why yes, it does in fact feel good to be a gangsta. Alan remains kneeling for a moment, wide open for the attack that doesn't come, before slowly getting back into his stance, a faint sheen of sweat on his forehead. "Guess so," he sneers.
The boxer suddenly drops his stance, running a hand through his hair and taking off his shades. He brushes them with a cloth from a pocket, and replaces both cloth and sunglasses. Then he flexes his hands, electricity running down his fingers, and returns to his stance. "Heh."

All things considered, Luc has been going at Heavy D! pretty hard, yet his attacks all have seemed to be rather expertly deflected But after D! takes such a heavy blow from Alan and yet doesn't come rushing in for another attack, that just speaks something 'off' to Luc. And he's not nearly yet thrust into an insane berserker rage to just attack Heavy D! when he's clearly preparing for something.
Instead, as soon as his flying headbutt is deflected, Luc pushes back, landing a fair distance away from both Alan AND Heavy D!, taking this little break in fighting all around to take a break himself. He's sure what comes next is likely going to hurt. Is he concerned? The grin on his lips says otherwise. This will prove to be very, very fun.

They're dropping back. Well...D! doesn't know if that's good or not. What is good is that they're a good distance away from each other. Gritting his teeth, he darts off. Finding his earlier priorities were possibly skewed, he instead takes off for his other opponent this time, driving after Alan with his left arm cocked back. Just as he gets near enough to snap that arm out...the right rises instead, a hard body shot aimed directly into the solar plexus once more, hopefully giving Mr. R. B. a shock of his own.

Alan R.B. shifts back as Heavy D! comes at him at last, ducking and dodging to the side under and around the heavy blow. "Whoo!" Now that he's regained his balance from his huge attack, it looks like he's just starting the fight. Chi crackles around his right hand as he follows up toward Heavy D's ribs, the energy exploding outward into a large sphere with another loud rumble. "Crash!"
Breath regained, Luc shifts his gaze back to the ever-imposing sight of Heavy D!, narrowing his emerald eyes thoughtfully. Rubbing either shoulder, and rolling his neck, Luc makes a simple spit at the ground before he, much like Alan, rushes headfirst back into battle. This time, he follows with his most prized attack once more. Hopefully, this time it'll be a bit more effective. Leaping about midway through his run, Luc shoves out a single hand, a spiral of black chi encasing the entirety of his arm as he spins through midair, intent on driving his fist straight into the side of D!'s head with a deep, gutteral growl.

This is seriously starting to wear him down. In any case, D! weathers the storm once more, the two teaming down on him hard. Alan's attack, he manages to get his hands onto , diverting away most of the exploding sphere of thunder. Luc...he simply charges in, head ducked down that he takes the fist high on the head rather than into the temple. "NGhhh...." Not wanting to waste any more time with the minor stuff, he swings for the fences this time, trying to knock Luc's block off with a hard Uppercut to the chin.
Unfortunately for the Heavy one, simply diverting the Thunderhead still lets Alan bring a lot of electricity to bear, numbing the arms and leaving obnoxious little sparks all over. The blonde's mouth twists into a mockery of a grin. "Come on, man, I thought you were serious business. You won't even face me!" Alan darts around inside Heavy D!'s uppercut, swinging a measured blow right at his extended arm, hoping to injure the muscles.

Well, that certainly would have /hurt/ considerably if Luc hadn't put up a guard to Heavy D!'s assault in time. He's too immersed in the fight now for talking. Instead, all he does is growl as his arms shoot up, intercepting the other man's uppercut with both hands before rolling /backwards/ from the force of the strike. That stung a little bit even through that block, and Luc even goes so far as to wince in response, green eyes narrowing. However, as soon as he gains enough ground, Luc raises a single hand into the air. In his grasp he nurses a single spark of black energy that begins to rapidly increase in size, taking the form of a small lance of black-blue chi. "GRAAAH!!" With one single thrust, Luc LAUNCHES that spear STRAIGHT into the ground... and in a split second, the entire thing launches out of the hard ground beneath Heavy D!'s feet, considerably larger and intent on crashing into the boxer in one impressively explosive display.

The spear is for naught it seems. As it launches out of the ground before D!, the boxer seems to cooly find a way around it, clenched fists hooking the whole thing, avoiding a messy explosion with the boxer in the center.
However, it does seem to serve some purpose, as when D! rushes in to try and drive a lunging punch right into Alan's chest, the mistiming from having to deal with the chi-lance is enough that his Rolling Soul Driver is stifled. The punch connects against his elbow and not only knocks it away almost the same way he did with Luc's massive attack, it also ends up knocking it away enough that Alan gets off scot free.
Alan breaks away from D! once again after his successful hit, grinning and rolling his shoulders. "Yeah, that's about what I thought." He assumes a lazy stance, and once again, electricity starts crackling around his body. "This has gotta be one of the biggest disappointments of my life. You rolled my father? What a joke!" He makes a few shadow jabs before waiting to see what D! does next.

... Huh. Well. It seems that Luc's assault has gone completely by the wayside from Heavy D!'s pure physical strength. Luc blinks, and stares for a long moment. And then... he laughs once more. Shaking his head with eyes shut, he completely disregards everything around him as he /RUSHES/ at Heavy D! once more, extending outward with a single fist to drive it into Heavy D!'s gut. "AAAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!" If it connecfts, Heavy D! will be peppered by a series of light, chi-infused punches, ending everything with a swift, jabbing uppercut aimed for the man's chin. Man. This is FUN.

Heavy D! tries to meet up with Luc again, finding that the only option he really has left at this point is to try and stifle attacks as they come at him, the best he can. Unfortunately, it seems like his timing is once again off. As he tries to stop Luc with a hard left hand toward his jaw, he finds himself instead getting jacked in the gut, then assaulted with several chi-charged punches. It's kind of sad really. At least last time, he had the lance as an excuse...this time, he's just been plain outboxed.
And Heavy D! doesn't even try to sass back. Alan can't wait to drop an e-mail to the old man about this one. Finishing his focus, the blonde boxer stays back, electricity pulling into his right hand. "I guess I'll let chucklehouse stay in there for now..." Alan quickly lashes his hand out twice, snapping his fingers and hurling twin bolts of lightning at the big man. "Strike! Twice!"
Lightning chi begins to soar as Luc finishes off his simple combination of blows; it's not really boxing, but it's the best he can simulate from just watching both Alan and Heavy D!. That taken into consideration, it's impressive in its own right. As soon as he finishes this, however, Luc looks towards the assaulting Alan and snorts simply, rushing forward to launch himself into D! shoulder-first. If successful, it's followed by a concussive burst of dark-navy chi, intent on knocking Heavy D! right off his feet and unsettling him just enough to allow Alan's attacks, hopefully, to strike clean.

Same trick as before, same solution as before. WHen the lightning bolts fly out, D! again snaps out his arm with an uppercut, a blast of chi exploding to engulf the bolts, and hopefully bowl Alan over too. However, the boxer isn't quick enough to stop Luc's shoulder rush, the following concussive blast sending him off as well, though thankfully not into the path of his own blast.

The explosion rocks Alan back, but it seems he was not entirely unsuspecting of how that would go down. Smacking a fist into his palm, the lightweight darts forward at Heavy D! once more, feinting a jab before actually jabbing out at the bigger man's face with a flare of chi.
Alan R.B. says, "C'mon!""
Aah, actually hitting D! successfully on a consistent basis is something that's relatively satisfying for Luc. Despite the other man's considerable might, Luc manages to launch him forward. Yet the German doesn't stop there. As soon as the blow connects, he follows through with the motion, powering forward in a charge at breakneck speeds. His intent is to ram straight into Heavy D!'s gut with his head, delivering a sizeable headbutt to the boxer; while unconventional, it's still not using his legs. "GRAAAAH!!"

Heavy D! tries his best to pull himself out of the way of the snapping jabs Alan sends out at him, but the feint partly works, as D! ends up barely clipped by the punch, sending him off awkwardly. Knowing that he's at his end, D! decides to go all out. As Luc charges in to headbutt him, D! focuses every little last bit of energy he has...and once the headbutt hits, he drives his fist downward into him, letting it all explode outward with a thunderous boom. And when the smoke clears...well, Luc likely is feeling a lot of pain, but D!...well, he's out and gone, the D. Magnum having taken what little strength he had left out of him.
Alan R.B.'s eyebrow slightly rises above his shades as Heavy D! pulls out that huge punch... and then goes down. He rolls his right shoulder as he gets out a cigarette, lighting it with no visible lighter, and gets another one out to toss over at where Luc landed. "Tchh... I could've been making more money than this."
SLAM! Luc pauses for a moment, feeling a little bit too much give in his headbutt. And then, he sees that pulse of energy in Heavy D!'s hand.
"... ah, shit--"
One MASSIVE explosion later, Luc is sent flying faaaaaar faaaar back and away, landing with a very unpleasant THUD into the ground below. He bounces once, skidding across the dirt-covered ground, smoking and scraping flesh across cement until he comes to a rather unhealthy SLAM into a nearby camera, toppling it and the cameraman over and using them as a buffer to stop his scrape. He stops, back first, staring at the sky. He's visibly smoking, trails of it coming up from all around him. But, as that cigarette comes flying at him--
--a single, burned hand snaps out to grasp it between two fingers, pulling it down to Luc's lips.
"Hehe," He begins, green eyes staring blankly at the sky, "Sweet."
