Jiro - Seeing a Past Reflection?

Description: Jiro took a visit to ol' Gedo High. It was an interesting visit as he encountered a person that is just like him, in a way. Only, the kid had a more uncontrollable temper. Peculiar. It was up to him to put the kid down.



It's after school in Gedo. This is the time where many of the students would spend their time heading home, or doing some practicing on the roof. By practicing, they are standing on the not-so flat roof, balancing themselves on the surface.
Many of the boys are walking about, chatting amongst themselves. Some that had been freshmen are now seniors and those who had been around when Gedo was in disarrayment three years back? They would recognize a familiar song.
It's a familiar song played through the harmonica. This song comes from a familiar young man who had been the temporary leader when Daigo was controlled. The old days. Daigo's probably still being the assistant principal or something now.
Formerly the Stray Dog of Southtown, he still has that reputation by the numbers of strays that are attracted to him. Cats, dogs, and sorts crowd up around him as he looks up at the school that he used to attend.
"...Been a while. A new semester and I don't have to dread about it."

Ah, finally, the end of the school day! The youthful student is coming from his locker, a backpack slung over his shoulder -- he doesn't want to stick around school any longer than he has to, he has too much other stuff to take care of.
Tyler is a stranger to any sort of school spirit or song around here -- he's the new kid, and it seems like he's got a big bullseye on his back around here, everybody always giving him dirty looks and such.
Today, however, is no better than any other day it seems, the young man made it just out of the front doors when suddenly he's confronted by some other students.
"Hey punk! Why don't you smart off to my face, now that we're out of school! You coward!",the antagonising youth is grouped up with a few friends -- these schools seem to have a bit of a thing for strength in numbers.
Grah, Tyler thinks to himself, what's he have to do to get these kids off his back, eh? Well, the best thing he can think of is just to show them what he's made up, maybe if he pummelled one of them into the ground they'd shut their mouths and leave him to his business -- but unfortunately there were a group of 4 of them and only one of him, the odds definately were against him. He didn't put much thought into that though, instead the hot-blooded teenager called back out to them,"Ya want a peice of me?! I'm not goin' no where, COME AND GET SOME!" And then he flips them the bird -- well, at least that's an insult where he's from, maybe they'll take it the same way here? Tyler grins a bit cockily, trying to play Mr. ToughGuy again.

[OOC] Tyler says, "made up of*"

The music stops abruptly.
His eyes observe the young man who seems to have some atagonizing students his way. This is an interesting situation for the former Gedo student to spectate. While the first thing that Jiro wants to do is help out the new guy, Jiro wants to assess what the kid can do first. But just in case....
"Hey boys?" He eyes his dogs a little lazily. "Stand behind the new guy and look menacing behind him, hrm?" He waves a hand out, then he idly sends three dogs; two rottweilers and a shizu out to run past the various students and stand behind Tyler.
They are flanked by his side, looking very menacing towards the other students.
The look on their face is simply, 'Try them'.
And should the other students see the origin? The pack of dogs and cats should give away the location of the former student near wall. The Former Stray Dog waves with a feral grin.

"What the .." Tyler was tense, balling up his fists for a fight but as soon as the three dogs come and flank him he's glancing around wondering where the hell they came from -- that's when he notices the older gentleman.
Scrunching up his nose, the boy's face tightens as he gives a rather displeased look, what's this old fool think he's doing? Is he trying to get into the middle of his fight?
Well, even if the antagonising group of students were going to back down, they haven't really got a choice to do so now, cause Tyler doesn't waste any time in bombarding them with a Storm of Fists -- the young man's fury is obvious as it's channeled through his fiery red chi, like a meteor he blasts through them with several well-trained strikes, knocking one of them down quickly enough. The others are kinda well, caught off guard, they don't know what's going on or what to think with the animals getting involved and all and then Tyler suddenly knocking down the apparant leader of the group with a little ease.
This young man definately has some heavy hands as he waylays the kid, it doesn't take long for the other kid's eye to puff up after being struck and the first signs of blood as his lip has been busted open. The kid spits a wad of blood and saliva to the ground, he's a little tougher than he looks it seems as he doesn't back off like the other three were doing.
The american transfer student stands, towering over the kid, waving him to stand up,"Come on! Get up! Ya wanna mess with me do ya? I'm gonna teach ya a lesson or two. You might have all those fancy moves round here, but I don't need no fancy tricks to beat your butt." -- The other kid snarled angrily and stood back up to his feet, him and the hot-blooded Tyler faced off for a moment, the american student readied his guard like a boxer would as he dances around a little on his toes, the other kid retorts with,"You think you're hot stuff, you're at Gedo High now not some lousy school back west! Your going to learn your place as I beat the snot out of you!"
And thus the fight begins...

"...Funny you should speak of that way about westerners."
That comes from none other than the former Gedo Student. It is funny, because Jiro does -not- even look Japanese by a long shot. The young man tucks his hands into his pocket, shutting his eyes while the dogs and cats follow him. But, he lifts a hand out and halts his armada from going any further.
"Well, so far, the fight's been entertaining." He eyes the fellow American transfer. "Kick their asses, eh?" He grins ferally.

The antagonist's name was Hasama -- not a very well known or popular kid, but he had some influence around Gedo. Well Hasama wasn't going to wait to get pummelled by the american student again, so he went on the attack and started to do some of those 'fancy tricks' that Tyler was speaking of. Not really all that fancy, but mirage of spins, kicks, and basically bouncing all over the place as the kid tried to unload a combination of attacks on Tyler.
He took it -- every single punch, it's not that he's trying to act tough, he's trying to be tough! And he grits his teeth as Hasama slams a foot into his face. Tyler's head juts back and to the side, as he takes a step back, the force seemed to rock him pretty good.... That was until he started laughing -- is that kid crazy? He's laughing after just being struck like that! That's not necessarily something to laugh about, unless of course he's trying to psych out the opponent.
Hasama's is stunned, shocked even when Tyler turns his gaze back to him with a big grin on his face, really looking no worse for wear escept for the red mark across his face where that foot was planted. He sure can take a hit...
At this point, Tyler wasn't worried about the others, as it seems they've pretty much backed down to just cheering on the one brave enough and willing enough to take on the american student, as it seems the animals are standing their ground while Tyler and Hasama slug it out student to student right there infront of the school -- and they've managed to draw somewhat of a crowd.
Tyler remarks,"Looks like it's just you and me, some friends ya got there, pal! If that's this is the best you boys got to offer me then you might as well throw in the towel now!" Tyler points to his chin and face,"Right here, come on! I'll give you a freebie!" A bit of a gutsy move on his part, is he really going to allow this kid to take another shot at him? ... Well it looks like that's what he plans to do.

At this point, Jiro isn't really needed, is he? The young man, however, merely watches the fighter go, quite impressed thus far. He stretches an arm out, then he looks at the cocky young man as he addresses for the other kid to take a shot.
He just keeps an eye out to see if the kid is all talk at this point.

"Well come on then, give me your best shot!" Tyler calls out again in a bit of a mocking fashion. -- Hasama of course gets flustered and he charges at Tyler and jumps into the air sending a flying kick into Tyler's chest, knocking the american student down, sending him tumbling a little ways.
Tyler just lays there unmoving for a moment or two -- Hasama gets cocky and confident at that point,"It looks like you're all talk, Tyyylleerr...You learned your lesson yet, punk?!"
He just laid there quietly.. at least for a moment, to let the other kid think he's won.
However, after a minute or two Tyler begins to laugh again... Hahaha... "Hey! That was a pretty good try..." Tyler then sits upright, resting his arms on his knees for a moment as he looks to the other kid, then looks to the old guy,"Did you see that? .. Haha -- How pathetic was that?" Tyler still laughing mockingly as he finally pushed off the ground.
To say the least, Hasama was well, flat out surprised and a little worried now as the american student rose to his feet again and he was still laughing! That was one of his best attacks and he just took it like it was nothing. Tyler's certainly no stranger to taking some punishment.
After a couple moments, Tyler was back to his feet but he didn't stay there for long, he sprung into action, taking a more serious -- rageful look as he charged Hasama again, taking the other student to the ground with a powerful tackle and a scream,"You SOBs! I'm going to kill you!" And that's when he's pretty much snapped and lost his cool despite his previous attitude.
Tyler ends up mounting Hasama and begins to just wail on the kid like there's no tomorrow, brutally pummelling the kid with well-trained yet somewhat wild and undisciplined fists of fury, the kid's face and Tyler's knuckles were getting bloodier and bloodier with each moment.
-- Tyler pretty much had the fight won at this point but he wasn't stopping ... nope, not one moment, it seemed the hot-blooded teenager had gone complete psychotic, leaving him go he might actually fatally hurt the other kid if he hasn't already!

A sigh is given.
It looks like Jiro will have to intervene. Not in a nice way as well. Well, he supposes that it can't be helped. The young man isn't too far from his age. If by a year or what not. Jiro actually gets the motivation to step towards Tyler. While Jiro would seem like another high schooler, well...
The young man idly reaches over towards the shoulders of Tyler, narrowing his eyes as he grips towards the shoulders. "That's enough."
Should the grip be successful, Jiro will promptly yank the young man off of the defeated kid, and likely tossed onto the ground.

Tyler isn't paying attention to anything other than beating the holy hell out of this other student so when Jiro grabs ahold of him and speaks he isn't listening. Tyler tries to stay ontop of the kid but Jiro can still manage to pull him off.
Tyler ends up on his butt and he jumps back up to his feet screaming bloody murder,"Let me go! I'm going to kill them!" Tyler starts tries to rush at the other students now while in his fit of rage.

After prying the boy, Jiro grumbles under his breath. This is actually starting to get annoying to where he will have to take physical action. He stretches both of his hands up, then he immediately drops them down.
As quick as lightning, his foot snaps out from the ground and his body twists to the motion as he launches off a roundhouse kick straight towards Tyler's gut.
Of course, the intent is to push him back, but not totally hurt him.

COMBATSYS: Tyler has joined the fight here.

Well, Tyler was in a fit of rage, he's still pretty pissed off and well, Jiro likely knows how that is, that whole testosterone-thing.
Jiro manages to land a kick in on Tyler as he wasn't really paying all that much attention, but he was already pretty tensed up so when the kick hits, the student's head turns a bit in reaction.
But just like before Tyler turns his head back, his gaze turning to Jiro now as his nostrils flare up, gritting his teeth,"What the hell do you think you're doing?! You want a peice of me too!?"
--- Tyler then takes a heavy swing at Jiro, right now Tyler isn't really thinking about which side any body is on, he just thinks everybody is out to get him so he's retaliating against Jiro now.

COMBATSYS: Jiro endures Tyler's Strong Punch.

Good. The boy is facing his direction.
See, Jiro is a fighter too, so he has no qualms of dealing with someone his age. He steps right into the fray of the incoming swing. Slugged across the face, Jiro shuts his eyes and he tilts his had along the motion of the fist. However, with the distance closed between himself and Tyler, it makes it harder for the young man to get out of the incoming strike unless he acts quickly.
The attack in mind involves the right arm that was casted back some time ago. Jiro had held it back for an opportune moment. That moment came when the fist struck him, which gives him leverage of coming in strong while his fist tightens. The arm hooks slightly as he aims to swing it hard against the young man's throat in the most vicious manner.

The ultimate move: Clothesline.

COMBATSYS: Tyler blocks Jiro's Fierce Punch.

In his fit of rage, Tyler was slow to react, but like a true boxer he always has his guard up so it was easy to try and throw his arms infront of the attack to try and block it.
-- Stumbling back some from the impact, Tyler then tried to hurry up and change his stance as he tried to grab for the arm and give Jiro a little pull as he attempted to give Jiro a bit of a toss over his shoulder.
This was a good opportunity for that old heave-ho throw. Just a simple grab and throw move. This hot-blooded teenager was certainly a tough opponent, and ontop of that, he actually had a little bit of skill to go with his toughness. Pound by pound, inch by inch, Tyler is certainly no chump by any means.

COMBATSYS: Tyler successfully hits Jiro with The Old Heave-Ho.

Crap.

Well, Jiro is put in the position of where he's pretty much tossed, isn't he? Grabbed and put in motion to where he's swung over-head and towards the ground, Jiro is flung over Tyler's shoulders by the teeanger.

A grunt is given, then he smiles. "Well, I suppose the kid gloves will have to come off." Then, Jiro stands up with a calm look on his face.

Scarlet flames ignite to life. THose scarlet flames roar in existance as they crackle in the air. Jiro merely shuts his eyes, considering the essence that the blaze draws upon.

"...Your emotions are hard to control. But... this is what you can do when you can control your emotions." Then, Jiro winds his fist back.

Then he launches the fist out with a powerful swing towards the young man's direction, aiming to take out his head.

COMBATSYS: Tyler fails to interrupt Highway to Hello Kitty from Jiro with The Showstopper.

Jiro             0/-------/--=====|=======\==-----\1            Tyler


The young man wasn't wasting any time, he pulled out his elbow pads and gloves out of his backpack after tossing Jiro to the ground. He was gearing up for a fight already -- it had gone long enough without a little protection. He shoves his bright red mouthpeice into his mouth as he grits his teeth, his eyes wide open, his nostrils flared up, he was definately ready for a fight, as Jiro got up to his feet and tossed a few comments at Tyler, he just ignored them for the most part saying,"Shut up and fight!" He was just in that mood for a fight now and he wasn't about to back down at this point...
With that in mind, Tyler goes on the aggressive, though he was a little caught off guard by what Jiro was about to do the Gedo student wasn't about to wait around to be beaten so instead he lunged forth at Jiro in return, at the same time, trying to close in on Jiro to avoid a heavy shot as he delivered a hard elbow at Jiro's face, but unfortunately Tyler's aggressiveness didn't pay off like he wanted. He was nailed by Jiro's attack and laid out on his back. He gritted his teeth angrily, how could he let him get in such a shot on him? Maybe he should actually think about what he's doing instead of just acting on his impulses...

"Heh. Just like me," says the American Interpol Officer. He shakes his head before he steps close towards the young man. The young man promptly motions the young man up.

"Get up."

He waits for the youth to get back up, then he steps closer to close the distance. Whether or not he gets up is up to him, but Jiro is pressing forward. He lifts his left leg in the air, then he immediately swings it down at the young man's head.

COMBATSYS: Tyler interrupts Medium Kick from Jiro with Raging Rush.

Oh, Tyler was going to get up -- but he was a little dazed for a moment. After a couple seconds though, Tyler started to get up and that's when Jiro pushed the offense as he took a kick at him but again, Tyler was giving in to his impulses and again the only thing in his mind at this point was he wasn't just going to wait around to take a beating again
-- "Never!", Tyler yelled as suddenly he burst to his feet in an instant, and like he had done to the other student before, he tried to rush Jiro again, not concerned about the kick at all instead he was going to run right through Jiro and his attack too!
This time however it was a successful attempt, showing his over aggressiveness.

Oh cool, the young man rushed and tackled him down. That was a good maneuver and it caught Jiro by surprise. However, Jiro is hooking his arms around Tyler's chest and he is drawing towards the favor of actually tossing the man not far off from his age away.
He uses the other leg for leverage as he launches the foot upward, aiming to use the weighted position to actually toss the younger man off of the form so that Jiro can recover.

COMBATSYS: Tyler endures Jiro's Medium Throw.

Tyler was caught by the under arm hooked throw, being tossed some distance from Jiro. The young man was losing steam quickly it seemed as he slowly stood back up to his feet but he was showing any signs of stopping.
The Gedo student balled his fists up, too exhausted to raise his guard anymore, instead he rushes forth at Jiro -- and like before -- like a meteor he shot forth at Jiro with all of his might as he unloaded everything he could into his next attack. That fiery red chi flaring up around his fists and infront of him as he barrelled into Jiro with a nasty brutal attack in an attempt to try and take him down in an all or nothing manuever.

COMBATSYS: Tyler successfully hits Jiro with Storm of Fists.

This is slowly getting aggrivating. Jiro needs to cut this fight short -now-. As Tyler attempts to charge forward into the attack by launching that firery red chi in front of him and he crashes against the young man, Jiro is trying to leap away from it. Unfortunately, he is caught by the sheer force of the chi, causing him to be blasted back from the impact.
He staggers slightly, then he hisses one more, tightening his fists. SHaking his head, Jiro launches forward to get a closer aim of getting to the close range with Tyler. He attempts to draw the force together by launching his right hand upward, the force of chi erupting in a burst along with the uppercut aimed towards Tyler's chin. He looks like he is prepping for something else.

COMBATSYS: Jiro successfully hits Tyler with Scarlet Slaughter.

After the initial uppercut sends Tyler off of the ground, Jiro has the other hand prepped back. For while it was winding back, it has been resonating with a scarlet chi. Focusing his fury from within, he is gathering the entire essence into the single, potent strike.
And with that potent strike prepped for action, Jiro immediately launches that fist to plow through the air, igniting the scorching flames to erupt along the atmosphere as it seeks to tear the air asunder, blazing first bursting at Tyler's form.
When that fist strikes.... A huge explosion erupts. The flames create an erosion as the sheer power sends Tyler flying to a distance.

Tyler is too intent on punishing his opponent, in the process he isn't aware of Jiro's retaliation until it's pretty much too late. Tyler tries to avoid the attack and dodge it but it's far too close and coming in way too fast for him to be able to do so. Thus, Tyler is struck pretty heavily by the attack as he wasn't prepared to take it --
Sent flying some distance from Jiro, the young man skids across the ground a little ways and just lays there unmovingly for a moment.
Panting pretty heavily as he tries to cling to consciousness at this point, it seems that his little burst of energy is doing him no good, he spits up some sizeable portions of blood as he lifts his head slightly while struggling to say,"I .. I ... I'll.... never..." And then his head falls back, closing his eyes as he slips into unconsciousness now.

After everything is said and done, Jiro shuts his eyes to take in the fight. "He has a lot of potential." He grins, then he shakes his head, "Meh." He looks at the other students, narrowing his eyes, "Take him to the nurse's office." Pause. "Or my children will make you."
The dogs growl menacingly to punctuate Jiro's point. Noting that, the students immediately run towards Tyler, picking him up as well as the other student, to take them both to the nurse's office.
Jiro, for the most part, is walking off.

COMBATSYS: Jiro has ended the fight here.


It was certainly a good fight -- Tyler gave it his all, perhaps his aggressiveness was his downfall in the end, but no one could say he didn't try at least.
The new Gedo student is probably dreaming now, or having a nightmare about that nasty attack that he just took moments before as he lays unconscious.
And Tyler is carried off in a bloody heap by the other students as directed by Jiro with a little support from his 'children'.
