Igniz - NESTS Bonding Excersize

Description: Igniz and K9999 bond by attacking Taiyo High, which is defended by a most unwarrented cast of charcters!



Taiyo High is a place of great spirit, a place of great sports, and a place of great spirit for sports. One of the many different schools about the area, Taiyo is just one of the many targets where Igniz would be visiting, and due to the influx of great fighters in Taiyo, the god of NESTS decided that another would accompany him on this 'field trip'

This NESTS outing is simple, a test for his own strength, and the test of the many students that go. So the NESTS bus commith.

The 'NESTS bus' is simply that. It's not a flying zeplin that goes into space, a helicopter, no. Gas prices are far too much for such lavish expenses in a run down slum like TAIYO HIGH. This also goes for all other schools.

Except Gedo. Gedo High is a junkyard.

As the NESTS bus, a rented STEALTH BUS that's cleverly disguised like a school bus comes to a stop at the large gates of Taiyo High, a man draped in a pale purple cloak makes his way off, the 'driver' of the bus being Kyo (or a clone there of) letting the others off.

The god of NESTS comes to a stop outstide, await his compatriot in todays encounter.

For now, he simply takes in the surrounding school of Taiyo High. It is most definitely not made for a God, but, it will do for a disposable battlefield if the need arises.

What's a witch to do. She can only get so much good will from people and then the limit hits and no one wants to give her anything. This was common in her life and when such things happens she has to find new mooching grounds. In this case, the children. They were so giving with the monies their parents gave them. Well. Some of the children anyway. She hoped some of these children. Taiyo high was not known for the richness, but it was known for it's lack of snobbishness. So while she might not of gotten the same amount of love from the kids as far as the monies amounts went, she was likely to get more love as far as the quantity.

This is why the witch is loitering in the courtyard of Taiyo high with a music box and a bunny on a string with a hat. So far.. She hasn't gotten much of anything.

"Hi!" The red witch says to a passing student, who is enamored by cute bunny.

"His name is Sylvester. He likes to eat.. ahh..." she shifts nervously, "Stuff."

In a suprise turn of events...K9999, is infact, sulking. His arm pressed against the window where he was seated at, he furiously glared at the back of the seat infront of him, a booted foot defiantly planted on upholstery. He'd made sure to walk through the only mud puddle on his way from the NESTS compound onto this so called 'stealth bus'. That he is here at all likely came as an order, and he didn't immeadiatly share the force behind the organisation's interest in coming here. Ofcourse, this was all just the start, when things became more 'interesting', the clone would likely start enjoying himself.
For now however, he grit his teeth and scowled after the exit of the blond haired man. Muttering, he shoved past the driver without care and hopped down onto the ground, crimson gaze fanning out and looking for a reason to suddenly just start laying into someone...anyone. Anything even, kittens were welcome to apply. Oh.
...And he had showed up with one arm. What the hell.

All of the Ins and Outs of Taiyo High are stacked upon Chairperson's desck, mind, and life, as she has been the student body chairperson for over a few years now. Chances are, when she goes to graduate, she'll still perhaps watch over them, helping as the 'real one in charge' with a student under her, learning. One day .. SHE'LL BE A PRINCIPAL.

But for today, there is something troubling, and looking out the window, the Taiyo High student peers. "Odd. I didn't remember any meeting today.. and the busses were supposed to be due before.." Looking about the office, she flips through paper, this and that, before finally sliding the jacket about her, and walking outside.. noticing the bus .. and a stranger in a purplely violet cloak that came with it. Him? Her?

And then there is a hobo dressed in a witches outfit in the middle. "Who are you?" She asks to Naerose, as she mentions the bunny. ".. Carrots, right? He eats carrots." Iincyo finishes for Naerose, before stepping forwards towards Igniz and K9999, hands behind her back.

"I am sorry. Taiyo High is not scheduled for any events today, so I am certain you are here.. at the wrong time. I am sorry that you two have come along so far, but it is unfortunate. Please, organize another date to arrive and come another time.. Taiyo High is closing it's gates for the night."

She doesn't seem to be moving, and doesn't aim too. "If you are aiming for a transfer student.." She peers to K9999, "Then w-" Wait. Somethings off with that boy.

Christ. He has ONLY ONE ARM. She staggers back. "-hat the hell..?"

Choi was sneaky. The Taiyo High fields of panties were a very fruitful patch, known throughout Southtown for their firm texture and sporty scent. Often shipped overseas to small European countries, the 'Taiyo Touch' was internationally acclaimed. Not as impressive and wonderful as the Seijyun Stock, but still popular. The problem, of course, was acquiring the stocks. Taiyo was both famous and infamous for their jocks. While athletic females generated some of the highest-quality undergarments, they also tended to put up the biggest fight. The Nagare fellow was a great example of that. Only Tiffany's large breasts put him through that fight alive.

So now, the Korean was using stealth to bypass large amounts of security. And just as luck would have it, a bus was coming by. Using dwarf-like agility, the little munchkin slipped underneath the vessel at a stoplight. Clinging to the belly of the big yellow beast, he snickered as he saw it pulling up into school grounds. Even better, it seemed like one of the occupents were coming out to distract... Iincyo. The Korean could only see the lower torso, but he could indentify those thighs anywhere. It was that girl he slipped the roofie! Well, Choi slipped many girls roofies, but Iincyo was special! She was the catgirl! Not spotting Naerose yet, the little man mutters, waiting to see if the rest of the crowd would leave the bus.

Iincyo says, "Hi!" The red witch says to a passing student, who is enamored by cute bunny."

Iincyo says, "His name is Sylvester. He likes to eat.. ahh..." she shifts nervously, "Stuff.""

Iincyo says, "I am sorry. Taiyo High is not scheduled for any events today, so I am certain you are here.. at the wrong time. I am sorry that you two have come along so far, but it is unfortunate. Please, organize another date to arrive and come another time.. Taiyo High is closing it's gates for the night.""

From hobo's and their pet bunnies to Taiyo High class presidents, Igniz can plainly see that the only thing this was missing was the Shurui's that he had promised himself. Obviously there was no one else coming, and Igniz just shook his head. Looking about, the man could find nothing more annoying that their target not being at the school he had randomly chose.

Intelligence isn't for the intelligent. He'll have to sit in his big chair to feel more like a god again later, but now, he has to talk to a few non believers.

Without even noticing Choi, Igniz's gaze hangs heavily about Iincyo, not even speaking at first, letting her instead find out the differences about the two from NESTS high school it's really there seriously school. And almost as if it was timed, Igniz begins to speak.

"I'm afraid we do not need to come upon your earthly schedules. Time for us is different. We have arrived on time, and we shall take our own look about your trashy campus." Igniz states, his head twisting as he looked back towards K9999.

"K9999," Igniz states, almost feeling his allies need to lash out, "deal with her."

How, however, Igniz does not speak. And the stealth bus? The door closes. No one else is coming out. They're all Kyo clones.

All of them.

Even the one in the back seat.

All Kyo clones? If Naerose only knew, she would probably suggest that NESTS had an unhealthy interest in a rather lame individual. I mean he didn't graduate high school until he was like twenty four and even then he was granted a diploma more cause they felt sorry for the poor bastard rather than actually feeling like he deserved it. Then again Naerose only knew what was on the fighter cards and besides that, she didn't know anything about NESTS right?

Though Iincyo says something about carrots and the witch is totally like,
"Yeah that sounds about familiar."

There is tension in the air, but against all odds, Naerose is totally unable to sense it. She instead shakes her hat at some people and displays her TERRIBLE CASE OF HAT HEAD. Meanwhile the bunny struggles with it's leash. Unlike the witch, Sylvester can tell when something not quite right is afoot.

Lucky for all involved, K9999 is here to save the day, and he would make anything 'uncertain' brutally and efficiently very clear. The teenager had made it a point in his behaviour to avoid anything subtle, scorn all tact, and ensure that he is foward in everything that he does. So when it was he was given that VERY vague order, he'd seek to fill it the only way he knows how. With violence the kind that would trample that little rabbit if it got in his way. So Naerose had better be quick else the only thing it'd be good for is added to the carrots in rabbit stew.
And don't you mind he has only one arm, it was a sore point literally and figuratively for K9999. He didn't think of himself as handicapped, infact it just fuelled his desire to rip into anyone unfortunate enough to get in his way. And for today's venture, it was Iincyo. Snarling suddenly, he bared his teeth, sensing that her suprise had a lot more to do with him than Igniz's pantene goodness hairshine. "Whatever..." A quick mutter, he wasted no time charging towards Iincyo, his /good/ hand clawed to snatch at her and if so successful, literally spin and slam her down towards the unforgiving asphalt.

Well. There were two people. One sounded like a prick. And the other was picking a fight with Iincyo's smooth legs. That wasn't a problem for Choi. With the door closing, he began to scurry from beneath the bus, coming out the other side. Moving on top of the bus, he was using his claws to scurry on the far side of the action. Yes, dear. There was a gremlin on the side of the bus.

Choi began to move along the side, working to the front. With a chuckle, he slips by the front wheel, and dips low down. He takes off his hat, and begins to delicately rummage through it. Lockpicks, check. Keycard, check. Smoke bomb, check. Emergency Panty.... Choi cursed quietly under his breath. Where did he leave his panties. He could never pull off a theft mission without his panties. He looks behind him, trying to see if he dropped. Peering underneath the vehicle, he sees where they went, right into the rear axle of the bus. Thankfully, it wasn't twisted in. It must have popped out while Choi was watching Iincyo's legs. Grumbling, Choi dives back underneath the stealth bus, working his face back to his special leopard print pair.

".. Get out." Iincyo states, first on, "No.. You're just leaving..." What the hell.. This isn't good. This isn't good. This isn't good.

And then .. K9999? "What kind of a name is that?..." The chairperson wonders aloud, and then Naerose.. and Choi.. and everyone would be able to notice what happens next. She doesn't break from the trance that this has on her before someone .. K9999 like was onto her, the good clawed hand snatching at her, spinning her around and then towards the asphalt.

It doesn't help that she goes to spring away.. he grabs her. "AH!"

There's a rather bad sound as the Chairperson's face hits rather hard.. her body following after, already caking the ground with a fresh amount of blood. You can forgive her for not noticing Choi .. but Naerose, for the most part, is the only one noticed.. Chairperson clawing to her feet in a bit of a desperate struggle, bleeding as she staggers to Naerose. "You .. if you're going to be here .. at least make yourself useful.. PLEASE! I'll give you sound of the funds .. just help protect the students!" She's sounding desperate. Where's Batsu? Roberto? .. Where is everyone. To the student nearby Naerose, Iincyo, bloodied, tells her something definite. "Go .. Go find someone, please! Or at least get the others to safety!"

Facing K9999 once more, she breathes in .. before dashing .. back towards K9999. "Why are you doing this... There has to be some place else." She mentions, before thrusting a hand out towards K9999, dashing into a palm leading strike, leaping into the air after it with both feet.

K9999 .. he's not looking like he'll go down easy. That /hurt/.

If Kyo is lame than so is everyone that has pieces of Kyo about him! Man, Igniz is glad he didn't shoot up any Kyo Blood while he was in school, because that could have been some terrible stuff. Stuff you could only imagine.

Igniz stops to turn, only to look towards Naerose at first. What as with that rabbit? It seems to be very against him for reasons, uncertain reasons of course. The god of NESTS just looks down to it in a rather comforting way. He would not harm it. There was no reason to be scared of Igniz.

He's a very nice man!

Looking over Naerose's terrible hat hair, Igniz gets a good view of K9999 in his work. It's reather brutally effecient, yet satisfying to watch. With a smile on his face, the lord of NESTS watches beneath the cloak, unmoving.

K9999 seems to be doing a rather nice job. He has no reason to believe otherwise at the moment.

"We're looking for some one." Igniz remarks, "At least I am." He pauses, "He is doing what he wants."

The witch is not going to give in to terrorists. K9999 illicits a reaction though, she totally cowers and pulls Sylvester to saftey, drops the music box, which breaks on the ground. As it turns out the music box was really just a cardboard box with a cheap tape player in it and a hand crank just taped to the side all along. And... then Iincyo talks.

Naerose' eyes turn into $$ signs. Sylvester meanwhile cowers further. Something really sucky was going to happen, the rabbit just knew it. Why ? How? Because Naerose picked up her broom. Because Naerose sits on her broom, side saddle, which is more stylish. Because the broom supports her weight (something the broom usually doesn't do for very long) and because the rabbit, attached to the string, attached to her wrist, was still on the ground.

The broom shoots off, Naerose on it, Sylvester dragging behind like a can attached to the bumper of a car reading 'Just Married'.

"Sorry Bucko, but a girl's gotta eat!" the witch exclaims with a biiiiig smile while aiming to run K9999 over, leaning down on her broom as she zips through the air to crash - or land on the other side.

Whatever Igniz is discussing is something K9999 doesn't give a rats ass about. As far as he was concerend, his business was with the Taiyo woman, and he was presently enjoying the feel of her body being smashed into the ground. Nothing like spreading pain to make him feel a little more chipper, his mouth twisted into something of a bared grin. About as close to happiness you were going to get here today. He stepped back, sizing up the addition of scarlet to her clothing, his eyes wild and untempered. "Some place else? You have a suggestion which school I should be trashing?"
K9999 snorted at her stupidity, maybe he knocked abit more out of her, like whatever passed for her intelligence. He didn't bother to move, he stood there waiting for her with a leer on his face, egging her on whilst staggering back barely a step when the blow lands. His left hand flared out to keep his balance as he did, fingers curling towards a fist as if preparing...
Who? The chi he'd summoned within was initially directed to the woman overhead, intending to blast her literally out of the air when he was distracted by the witch on a stick, "I'm going to fucking kil--" that mowed him over unbalanced as he was. The air hazed with chi that bled away unusd, and if they thought K9999 was angry before...the sudden spike in energy was warning enough that he'd rightly gotten /pissed/ now.
He was back on his feet a couple seconds later, a slight shake to his shoulders.

"You won't find anyone then you're looking for here.. all the students are going to be evacuated." Yes, Iincyo's had a plan for when something bad happens. All good Chairpeople should! She can't possibly be alone in that decision, but Chairperson's attention span is certainly spanning. From mr god to someone trying to rip her throat out.

Or worse, she doesn't know.

Either way, Naerose complies. "Thank you... " Even if she IS greedy. Choi hasn't been spotted yet. Fortunate or unfortunate? Either way, she's sort of tunnel visioned after the first initial face plant.. her clothing whipping as she slides towards K9999!

".. No.. I might know the students that go to each school.. but I'm not sharing anything I know with you people... just leave.." And then as she leaps into the air.. the chi begins to burn, flaring.. Oh no he's..

And then Naerose RAN him the hell over.

Suddenly, that money was totally worth paying, to not be punched skyhigh. ".. Thanks Witch!" She doesn't know her name. "You're going to nothing of the sort.... Because you're leaving!" Whipping around once more, Iincyo attempts to flick her hands about in a 'complex' maneuver, lunging at K9999 with all of her focus, and then whipping around a leg at the end like some kind of tail, before following with the rest of her body in strike after strike, burning what energy she had.

How long can she last?!

Daintly plucking the panties free, Choi hears something. Something VERY attractive. Not just the cries and splatter of blood. But the desperate cry of help. AT ANY PRICE. Choi's mental gears were whirring. Money? Panties? Choi had a cunning plan. If he helped, he would get a reward! And instead of illegally getting undergarments, they would all give him the sweet clothing. With extra sweat, because he is a hero. Maybe even OTHER fluids.

Now, there is always the counter argument. As the fight continues in a complicated matter, he considers the situation of picking sides with the stronger invading forces. While they would provide a great benefit, they were more likely to consider Choi of less value. He knows how masterminds like Igniz treat people like Choi. He is only a henchman to them! He would just as likely stab Choi in the back. A lose/lose situation!

Choi wasn't evil like NESTS. He was just a lovable (?) anti-hero (?!) with a penchant for perversions. And therefore, after much consideration, he decides to do the right thing. Which is also conveniently the thing that has the highest payoff, he thinks as he stuffs the panties in his hat. Hooray for the Perverted Neutral alignment!

With a battle cry, the Korean explodes out from beneath the stealth bus. Spiraling like a football, the little midget attempts a sneak attack right into the back of Igniz. "KYA HA HA HA! I ACCEPT YOUR OFFER, ATTRACTIVE YOUNG FEMALE!!" The dirty man cries as he sails through the air, claws pointed directly at the false god's back.

It's unusual for one of the Seijyun 'princesses' to have business at Taiyo's campus, but something brought Hotaru all the way to the campus. Inquiries into policies, admissions requirements, and other details that she was able to collect from the school's administrative offices...

Information obtained, the girl is on her way off the campus by way of the front of the school, walking along, flipping through paperwork in her hands. The commotion out front catches her attention, of course, the girl pausing on her way to glance over the fight going on. It isn't that fights on Southtown campuses are all that unusual... but the people gathered are a very weird group. K9999 she recognizes from her SNF with him, a fight that marked the inception of her... different outlook on fighting. And Choi, the chaos agent from hell. And Naerose... the red witch Hotaru has only come to associate with criminals and scoundrels.

"My, my," the young fighter muses, one hand coming up to rest at her check as she takes a moment to merely observe the fight from the sidelines. She didn't come looking for battle though, as evidenced by her being dressed in her blue and white Seijyun uniform. She's just curious to see what's going on, that's all! Though Naerose makes her suspicious. Every time she's seen the red witch, she's been helping whoever it is Hotaru is fighting against. "Hm... This doesn't really look like a sponsored event," she muses.

All of a sudden, things go sour for K9999. Igniz's smirk fades as K9999 attempts to rip through through a women before being knocked backwars. Obviously it was time for Igniz himself to begin to lay his presence down. Somethng that he would not contest to at all. To crush worms? Who should ask a god to do it?

But he steps forward, the god of NESTS, beginning his movements towards the group. Even as Choi lurks from beneath the bus, Igniz does not turn to look. Not turn to see anything at all.

Instead, the cloak itself deforms, twisting and swirling even as Igniz steps, a god light light being painted down towards him as he moves, step after step towards Iincyo and Naerose. It begins to pick itself up, actually floating as it goes with no wind in sight. His hair bounces.

But there stands another now. Hotaru appears in the midst of the strike. Igniz makes no offensive motions, none at all. Instead, he turns towards Choi as he calls out. "Pretty woman?" Igniz snears, the strike hitting four dampening shields. "I'm sorry, but you're worshiping the wrong God." Igniz states, pushing back off chi, sending him skyward, where he strikes out, a sword appearing before spiking into fragments, the chain sword cutting up towards Choi's area. "Allow me to rectify that."

Violence for violence, as they say.

Pr.. Praise?! The Red Witch is positively glowing. She can't seem to remember the last time ANYONE has given her praise. Her cheeks turn red, beat red and she touches a hand to her burning face. This was. A nice feeling. She smiles bigger and then... over confidence backs out of the drive way and onto the cat of her more genuine emotion. Ruining it. Actually it backed over the emotion and then realized it hit something and put into gear to go forward again and then back and.. really squashes it.

"Yeah.. that .. that was prettty cool!" The witch agrees and then beams bit at Iincyo. She notices Ingiz approaching and there is totally foreboding while Sylvester catches his breath on the string.

"Hey! I remember you in Metro, you were totally nicer back there!" she recalls,
"You said you were my friend, but you don't look very friendly!" But she doesn't attack, instead she adjusts her shades.

If K9999 bothered to care about approval, he might have hung his head in shame at being so thrown about by little girls riding toothpicks, instead...he's too busy focusing on the source of all of his troubles, and whatever Igniz thought of the little 'pet' clone...K9999 couldn't give a damn. He just wanted to see Iincyo's broken bleeding body unconscious or dead on the ground before his feet, with no fight left, nothing left but the agony of success stolen from her when so close...
Her last strike was that which pushed him over the edge, falling to a knee-- not overcome, but quivering as he embraced all of his injuries, even the old injury that throbbed like wildfire like some taunting reminder of his own past failures...That ninja. This was all his fault. The logic alone was flawed, but K9999 was flawed, and so, he lashed out. "HYRRYAAAAAAAAGHHH!!!" All the chi that had been building within flared to life within a spherical swirl of energy, white and rose speeding out with enough raw force to do as he craved...should Iincyo be caught within it.

To the witch, all Iincyo has to say is. "He's .. he's not nice! He's attacking the school!" She tries to plead to the bubble headed one, but she doesn't have much luck.. busy striking K9999, before he fell to his knees, overcome.

And IIncyo? .. She's over there. Weak.. but for the most part up.

And then she notices Choi. "You .. HERE!?" Attacking Igniz.. She doesn't want to but. "Fine.. You'll get a few of the uniforms..." She doesn't sound she likes it.

Does she have a choice!?

And that's about when K9999, quivering on the ground.. stopped, eyeing him, IIncyo turns. "What .. are you?" She's not familiar with clones.. why should she be? And then .. The chi erupts like a shockwave, the swirl of energy catching the girl in, spreading out .. and IIncyo tries to kick back, but it's not enough. Not enough! Kicking back, she only finds herself slipping.. and then screaming. It's a pained scream. Not sad, not angry .. it's a scream of pain and agony, as Hotaru's answer to 'what kind of fight is this' is shown.

Being charred, and smoking, the Chairperson of Taiyo High is tossed by the shockwave of energy towards Hotaru, hitting on her back on the asphalt, leaving a bit of a red spot as she bounces, flipping to her front to land at her feet in a pile. Hacking and coughing.. Iincyo only rises by will.

"Hah .. Please... m-miss... H-Help..." Iincyo asks of Hotaru, slowly rising back to her feet.. unsteady and weak, Iincyo's clothing is badly charred, ripped in places.... much like herself as well, blood here and there.

"Help protect .. the students." She doesn't have the energy to speak.. or is she saving it, as the energy about her begins to glow, bright and blue.. trying to at least ready herself for one more act.

COMBATSYS: Iincyo gathers her will.

Choi fails to drill the genetic wonderhorse. And then, horrors happen. Despite Choi's crazy monkey speed, he strikes some sort of field of force. And then, the Korean rethinks his choice of allies.

When the counter attack comes around, Choi does everything in his power to avoid it. He deflects himself off the shield. He moonsaults through the air. He even curls his body tight to minimize surface area. It should have worked. Instead, it fails horribly.

The chain sword rakes across the midget's body, forcing a high-pitched scream of pain out of the little man. That hurt, Igniz. Smashing hard into the bus, the little man hurtles to the ground. Upside down. Landing with a sharp crack, the chi energy finally dissipates. And the Korean just lays there, making a soft sobbing noise.

Picking himself up, he gingerly undoes the sharp pain in his back. Swaying side to side, he makes a pained grunt. "Damn, Buddy Boy, where the HELL did you pick that up?" He glances over at Naerose, and looks away quickly. Oh god. Her. The one who wanted to marry him. The Korean sighs, and stares at Igniz. He raises his claw ahead of him, and beckons the tyrant to make his move. And deep down, Choi knew how stupid that was.

It was still worth a try, anyways.

COMBATSYS: Choi focuses on his next action.

It becomes clear that the fight is by no stretch of the imagination, 'unsanctioned'. Midgets jumping at blonds, crazed, one armed clones thrashing out at what appears to be a hapless student... Naerose, being Naerosely... Hotaru blanches a little, starting to wonder if she should take her leave before being drawn up into a fight. She isn't ready to fight again. Not yet. But if she walks away now she's hardly keeping her goals of using her skills to protect others...

K9999 attacks Iincyo with a vicious blast, sending the poor Taiyo student crashing at Hotaru's feet. Slipping off her bookbag and crouching quickly, the girl starts to look like she intends to help Iincyo up, "What is happening? You need to see a medic!" she exclaims, not even really able to tell at a glance just how severely she was hurt. But Iincyo gets up on her own, her resolve enough to keep her going, if but for just a little longer, and Hotaru rises back up to standing with her, her expression grim.

As the girl begins to glow, Hotaru steps around her, eyes fixed on K9999. She remembers him as a fighter, and while her outlook was different back then, she's pretty sure that he probably did deserve whatever she had managed to do to him in that fight. Rather than waiting for him to take another shot at the poor, torn up Taiyo student, Hotaru decides to get involved, even if but for a short moment. Dropping the stack of paperwork she was carrying, the girl darts forward swiftly, leaning forward, her arm hooking out at her side as she attempts to come in low and catch the youth by the waist, slamming her foot down behind him and dropping him to the ground on his back with a simple but effective push and trip. "Hey! You need to calm down, don't you think you're overdoing it a little!" she exclaims.

Such an excersize in violence, to fight out how the up and coming are still coming. Igniz is pleased to partake in this chance that was obviously given to him for good reasons.

Even as the chain sword snaps back into his hand, disappearing completely, Igniz looks towards Iincyo and gives a shake of his head, lookingback up to Hotaru. "Do not help her." Igniz begins, "This is her punishment for telling a God that he cannot enter this little establishment. It barely holds its value as the ground holds it up." The god of NESTS declares, Naerose's voice grasping his attention.

Looking once now, Igniz nods, "Ah. The witch." Igniz mentions, "There I am your friend, but if you stand against me, you accept your enevitable anhilation. You must understand to stand against a God." The man metions, turning his attention back towards Choi.

"I learned it myself. A self taught technique." Igniz mentions, taking step after step, still undetered as he moves, making his way towards where Choi contains himself. But when he see's Choi's request, the god of NESTS stops dead, and looks towards the midget. He moves no longer.

"You want me to come? Then by all means," Igniz begins, simply wrapping his right hand about backpack full of books about 'how to kick some one in the face real good by Man McDude' and other volumes, before hurling it towards the midget of a man.

He does indeed get what he wanted. Or at least what Igniz had wanted him to have.

Igniz gave a very compelling argument. Naerose had to think about that for a moment but unfortunately there was a failure in the explanation, for the God did not tell her that standing against the Hentai character was also standing against him. And besides, if the person Naerose promised to help went down, where would that leave Naerose? Totally down and out? She'd be like without someone to give her a bunch of cash for helping out. This was going to make her so rich!

"Don't worry, I will totally save you!" cries the witch and rushes in on K9999, and leaves herself TOTALLY OPENED with her attack. I mean, it would be hard to miss just how totally wide opened she is, holding her broom up over her head, not guarding her body at all. But maybe, just maybe she's giving Iincyo a chance to regain her footing or something.

"YOU!" K9999 roared aloud the moment Hotaru showed herself within...well within his personal bubble. Being touched was something the clone disdained, even in the middle of a fight. She'd invaded not only his space, but dared to try and...cuddle in closer to him in a vain attempt to throw him more than of balance?! "BITCH!" All of his focus on Iincyo was gone, as were the orders to take care of her...well. Then again, Igniz didn't say take care of her /completly/ now did he. Normally he liked to do a thorough job, but lets face it. She hadn't even been on his personal list, but Hotaru...he owed her. He owed her big time! Though still less than a few others.
A pity this was less than ideal circumstances for him. K9999 wouldn't just throw the towel in though, he lifted his foot with suprising foresight, throwing his body in the opposite direction breaking free from her little hussy trap... now clearly seeing where Naerose attempted to intervene. Not this time. No, this time he was more than prepared, the swirling chi never really dissipating...he flung his remaining hand out and evoked a literal wave.
A wave that picked up dust, debris and would slam into anything in its path. Which...happened to be the witch, he didn't even notice the glancing strike of the broom.

They're heading straight for K9999 .. "I can't just let them .. get away with this..." IIncyo responds, before watching as K9999 .. well? Igniz might be disappointed in the end.. but it looks like Choi doesn't have a chance in heck of taking Igniz.. pity. She really wants him too.. not that she totally notices in this bloody, unseemingly haze.

And K9999 was a beast of a man(?) as well, with K9999 throwing himself at Naerose .. and after that, the dust wave slams into the witch. But they're all having trouble, aren't they?

The glow does actually end .. instead, Iincyo just crashes towards K9999, picking up speed as she heads in a straight line.. she's not regaining her lost footing? The girl thinks she can just get rid of the K9999 problem .. so she tries it. She never liked people on the campus to cause trouble .. and here, these people can cause more than trouble .. they need to be gone. And she's going to do what she said to Roberto.

Keep fighting until she can't get back up.

"H... HA!"

She lashes out towards K9999's shin, trying to cause him to stumble!!!!

The Korean wasn't stupid. Whenever Choi was faced with someone obviously stronger, he would play the defensive. Let him make the mistakes. Hit and run tactics, while not flashy, were a good way to stay alive. The midget doesn't even blink when the books come at him. He simply takes three steps to the side, letting the pack smash deep into the side of the bus. The Korean look aghast at the damage of the thrown object. Holy crap, was this guy physically tough too. He shakes off the shock to glare at the man. He seems to wind back his hand, and point it at Igniz. "Pfft. Wimp. I guess I am going to have to deal with you the hard way."

Choi drives his claws into the tires of the Stealth bus, slashing them. That was just to prove a point. Now he couldn't cause Nuclear Kyo Winter. Choi just saved the environment! But this didn't matter. He moved down to slash the backpack, freeing the works of Mr. McDude of their hardcovered bounds. With the pages rustling in the air, Choi winds back, and launches himself at Igniz. Whirling around like a cyclone, he created a whirlwind of paper around him. If it didn't land a hit, well, maybe the paper would distract the superpower. I mean, Choi doesn't know anything about Reflect and Counter from this dude!

So it seems the recognition is mutual. She should have expected the shouting swearing, though it still catches her a bit by surprised. Confident she's slipped in around his guard, however, Hotaru attempts to drop K9999 to the ground, demanding he cool off from his violent assault of Iincyo. He's attacking the students here? What for? Igniz's words answer that question, as he barks at her to cease helping the Chairperson with her plight, his words... strange, almost nonsensical. He sounds like he's convinced he's someone important, and the aura resonating off of him would suggest that, buts the school girl from Seijyun has no idea who he even is!

As Naerose and K9999 combat each other, Hotaru whirls around to face Igniz directly. "What's going on here. Why is that girl so hurt," the Futaba girl insists. "What are you doing, telling /him/ to do taht to her?" She looks a little angry, a bit upset. She didn't want to get involved in a fight, not sure what might happen, but it seems she can't help but be in the middle of this one. For now.

The young Kenpo artist inhales then exhales slowly, bringing her hands up into a defensive position, palms open, one palm extended out a bit more toward Igniz than the other. Behind her Iincyo charges toward the one armed fighter, forcing Hotaru to glance over her shoulder to see what in blazes is going on. "Wait, don't get more hurt!" she exclaims. The girl was already a bloody mess, isn't charging back into K9999 going risk her life even further?

Stuck in the middle, Hotaru simply holds her ground, trying to shake off the confusion that's keeping her from understanding who is even involved int his mess and what side they're on... ( Choi is HELPING?! )

naro says, "You've seventy sixier harassed?"

Igniz had chosen the wrong action. It was quite simple as he moved against it.

Even as he goes, his steady steps had let him into a situation where he had chosen poorly. Even as Chi comes after him, slashing the stealth busses tires before coming after Igniz, whirling like a cyclone. For once, Igniz decided that firing him into the oblivion was a tride and true example.

But he was wrong, instead, the fiel of force, the man striking into him entirely again and again and again, cutting and slashing. Igniz took a poor gamble, but judging by the mans speed, a much needed one. Being struck just enough to send him back, staggering a little, Igniz shook his head.

There would be retribution soon enough. He did not have to speed it up.

It worked, Naerose took the attention away from the other girl. That was the V is for victory it worked, now comes the V is for failure it worked.

"Ouch ouch ouch ouch." cries the witch before colliding with a wall to the school and sloooowly sliding down it.

That Igniz is getting the short end of the stick wasn't even registering with K9999, first there was Hotaru, then Naerose, than Iincyo was being an upstart bitch again daring to get back up and...and charge him! "GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY WAY!" Except he was in no condition to make good on his threat. Immeadiately. He wanted to go after the nosey-helpful girl demanding answers from the NESTs leader, but nooo...
By the time K9999 recovers, his lone hand was spasming as if clutching at some imaginary heart he'd torn out already from someone...a definate if a more turbulent air gathering about K9999. His eyes were afire and his teeth grit, the last time that'd happened...well. It hadn't turned out too well now had it.

Striking on, IIncyo gets what she wants alright. But K9999? .. He's not getting off lucky. "Why .. are you doing this!? No matter what you do I refuse to just let you do this!" She cries, thrusting a foot out towards K9999, sheathed in energy, before she slips around, slamming a few palms into him.. before turning to face him in a brief moment.

"Whenever you go into my school .. and come here with the idea to cause trouble .. I won't let you .. I just won't allow you to set foot in this school to interrupt the lives of all these students... no matter how hurt I am .. I'll make sure .. at least .. that I WON'T GET OUT OF YOUR WAY!"

And with K9999 screaming at HER, she screams at HIM, before driving straight towards K9999, in an attempt to slam through the guard with the last of her strength, swinging her legs around, one after another, in a heavy guard crushing arc.. it's slow, but it's Definitely not nice.

Choi hacked at Igniz's body... and actually managed to hit him? Choi spun around the man, cutting at him with utter discrimination. His counter attack actually succeeded. He doesn't even notice the man bringing up the field of force. He just keeps driving his attack home, and slowly begins to slow his tirade down.

The papers rustle as they drift in the air. He didn't care how his partners were doing. Heck, they sounded fine enough. Choi was busy with the big bad. As he stopped his spinning, he decided to keep his assault going. As he turned around for the last time, he brought his clawed arm around, ready to cleave across the NESTS leader's face.

Better cry Rake, Igniz.

Iincyo insists on combating K9999 still... and it becomes quite clear that she can do just that. Hotaru watches for a moment, hanging back, just in case it seems the Taiyo student is going to need any help. It's about then that she realizes that Naerose took the brunt of the last round of attacks from him, the red witch landing hard off to the side, and Hotaru frowns faintly. "I wonder who paid her off to help..."

K9999 is given a wary look, the girl remembering quite well what horror manifest the last time she fought him. But for the moment she's watching Choi, all by his lonesome, attempting to combat the self-proclaimed god and... well... as much as she hates to consider it, she feels like she should help the little spaz out against the likes of that guy.

"I can't believe I'm doing this," the girl murmurs before she charges forward, seeking to get a grip on one of Igniz's arms with both of her hands. And if she gets that hold, she'll use his limb as leverage for a series of rapid, stomping kicks right up the front of him before running over his shoulders and hopping down on the other side, behind him, sliding to a stop, avoiding her typical backflips due to, well, skirt.

There are things Igniz can stand. Somethings come easily. Others do not. Even as two foes strikes at Igniz at once, he can tell that as Hotaru fires herself towards him, there was a simple thing for him to do. Entirely easy actually as the girl descends upon him first. Igniz is wracked by such a rather quick strike, but somehow, even as the grip attempts for his hands, he fades back from them entirely.

But as he moves, he moves into the midgets strike, causing his face to be cut by the blade. Droplets of blood seem to soak from his face, but small ones. Nothing entirely terrible. He chuckles. Is that all? That must be the best. Igniz cannot tell otherwise. But still, it leaves a lasting mark for now.

Choi just struck his face. Well, sometimes you have to do more than just wait for your foe to die.

Even up close, Igniz opens his hands, a blast of pure white emaculate chi forming directly infront of Choi as he's right there.

And then, it races across the ground, moving to sweep Choi up in it's path. "Must you honesty continue this charade?"

The witch took a really hard hit for the other person, whoever she was. Iincyo was a name she didn't know but she did know that there was going to be a reward right? The witch pushes off the wall. Stumbles toward K9999 and does her best to help.. one last time. Why last time? She really really doesn't last long after bringing up her broom for one final swing before collapsing down into a pile of heap.

The witch totally falls asleep on the spot, looking woosy and everything

"You know what, why dont you SHUT THE FUCK UP!" K9999 didn't want to hear it, he really didn't. His breathing was getting ragged, and he tasted blood in the back of his throat. That last series of kicks hurt, infact, he hurt all over even the arm that wasn't there. Damn ninjas, Seishirou...when he found him again. But that was for another time, he was more than weary of hearing Iincyo's speechifying prattle of this and that oh whine whine, protect the students bullshit. "And QUIT INTERFERRING!"...And get offa him too. That was for both Naerose and Iincyo. Having taken the second hit... Giving voice to the fact he was nolonger interested in fighting either of them...he had his sights set on someone else.
The remaining arm shifted in that familiar manner that Hotaru had observed before in a 'sanctioned' fight. And this time the business end of the soon to be smoking barrel...was pointed likewise nostalgically-- at her. Not Iincyo. Outright ignoring the Taiyo girl, he took loose aim in the other's direction...hopefully he'd miss Igniz, but those bullets of chi could sometimes be...not as discerning as they could be. After that-- well.
...he still had his seat on the bus.

... And then K9999 outright ignores her. .. You think she'd really mind that? Well.. Iincyo really doesn't, and in the end, watches as K9999 .. fires at Hotaru!? "Look out!" She yells, trying to get Hotaru's attention to prevent such a heinous thing.. and it's not like Iincyo can really do anything to prevent it either.. or help with the battle. Tired, and worn, she takes the time to fall back a bit... away from Igniz and the group on him, as she leans against the wall near the gate of Taiyo.

This .. wasn't supposed to happen.

There's some irony on it happening on a Monday, however.. not that she can appreciate it at all, having given her all and merely brushed off, as well as told to shut up in far stronger language..

Maybe she'll just take a deeeep breathe.

He hit? Choi managed to deface the man with a solid strike. Now, he suddenly felt something hit him. No, not the attack. Hotaru was assisting the midget. Rather. Sexy Seijyun High Panty Mistress Hotaru was here. In a skirt. With panties. The Korean felt new waves of power entering him. Yes. He would bad touch. He could bad touch! But not her. The Korean was quickly swept over by a wide diversity of his rewards now that he helped Hot Aru's friend! And a good number of would not be safe for work!

So naturally, when Igniz attacks with a blast of energy, Choi knows exactly where to dodge. Rolling into a tight ball, the little midget dives right between Hotaru's legs, making sure to get a good peak in the process. The blast misses him narrowly, as does K9999's flurry of chi. All in all, the Korean pretty much won that round.

The midget doesn't stop, though. As he works back around his foe, he explodes from his roll. Despite the lack of distance, the Korean saw this to be the best time for another drilling strike. Sure, it was repeating a move. But it was a very good move to repeat. Spinning with his claws out, he tried to replace Igniz's kidneys with cold steel. But would it actually work?

She was reaching for Igniz, but he's no longer there, the man slipping out of her grasp before she can get a hold on him. Hotaru stumbles, having committed all of her momentum to that attack, not anticipating just how swift and aware the more experienced fighter is. She just hasn't seen him fight before, but it's quickly dawning on her that she's way out of her league here. Mid-stumble, she's only vaguely aware of Choi darting between her legs... did he just...

The girl grits her teeth, trying to forget about it as she whirls back around. A shout warns her of an attack coming from the side. Of course, the girl realizes, she should've known the furious youth would take his chance at getting a shot at her. But while she turns to face the incoming bullets of chi, she isn't swift enough to avoid them. Shot after shot impacts the girl, blasting her backward until she slams against a wall, only to be pelted by more. Attempts to fend off the energy strikes barely manage to make any difference before the end of the swarm and she slumps forward, dropping to her hands and knees with a pained gasp.

A panicked glance up reveals that K9999 is no longer moving, so for all the pain he just put her through, she doesn't have to worry about follow up, at least. Coughing, the schoolgirl pushes herself back up to standing, glancing down at her blue blazer and all the holes that decorate it now. With a grunt, she sheds the jacket, letting the ruined cloth land on the ground, leaving her spiffy white blouse. It was too constricting anyway! There's a moment of hesitation, where she looks unsure if she should continue to attack the tall man, but... it seems Iincyo really wants to fend him off from Taiyo High, so she /has/ to try.

Another aggressive charge forward before she drops low into a sweep aimed for his ankles, trying to throw his balance into question. Perhaps it will buy an opening for that crazy little spaz that's been fighting him all along!

Still, the god of NESTS sees nothing done from what he does. Well then, it seems he cannot play around anymore. No matter. Igniz can completely deal with this, in one way or another. But he has to deal with Hotaru, one way or another. Simple. Igniz can already see the woman coming, even after being blown away by K9999's fallen figure. He had done his job nicely.

That is all Igniz can truely ask of him.

So with Hotaru's push, the light kick goes unanswered, Igniz's figure shifting still.

And as Choi comes, Igniz doesn't move away. He moves into. As soon as Choi sends a claw towards the god of NESTS's gut, it connects. But he soon finds that with that inclose proximity to Igniz comes a price. The area about seems to slow down. Igniz barely moves.

Instead, the claw only dents the battlesuit, cutting some of it as he stands.

"Hah. You hope to beat a god?" Igniz shakes his head. Such fools. Crossing his arms, he doesn't even strike back.

But that's when his cape rises by itself, each of the four chi conductors rising like snakes and pointing towards Choi's position. Within moments, bright lights from each exude outwards, a cascade of brilliant white emaculate chi aiming to melt the man, once and for all.

.. Oh no. Wincing, Iincyo turns to see Hotaru get nailed by the final attempt at getting the girls the HELL away from him.. it just has to work, doesn't it? And with Choi and Hotaru after Igniz, Iincyo really wants to do something to help.. something, anything at all. But at this point, if she went in, she'd be more in the way than helpful.. she she takes more time to prepare, the bright blue glow encompassing her once more as the Taiyo Chairperson watches onto the two.

Taking in a deep breathe, she cycles the blue energy through her, trying to regain some movement in her legs, trying to will up enough effort to keep on fighting this fight. Trying to make use of herself at least once more.

.. And then she's suddenly wincing, bringing her arms up and covering her eyes when she sees the bright light, flooding the air. There's .. just nothing she can see through it.

... Just WHO is he .. what does he want with Taiyo.. or a student.. he mentioned for someone.

But who could that be?

Choi is busy drilling into Igniz, grinning like the devil. He is high on his horse, there is nothing that could go wrong. And then... well, and then things slow down. As his belly goes upwards, he sees those little points of light. Unable to move, his smile fades. He just closes his eyes, letting the substance consume him.

As the chi rips, molds, and reshapes the poor Korean into a less living state, the midget dreams for a moment. Those smooth legs. That unique color and texture. Yes. Hotaru needed to wear skirts far more often. From the chi tomb, there was a shout. "Yes. YES! I DO!" Ripping from the encasement was a long series of red streaks, trying to cleave through Igniz.

Her sweep is avoided, Igniz still proving the faster fighter by far, and Hotaru spins back up to standing, her pigtails catching up a split second later. On some level there is an exhilleration to be felt. It's been... a long time she's fought without having her mind and thoughts clouded by the influence of Frei's younger brother. The raging anger that drove her before is no where to be found, and while she feels fear at having entered a fight against such a superior fighter, she also remembers the times she used to enjoy fighting as a sport, focusing on the spirit of combat moreso than only caring about another empty victory. "I don't know who you are or why you decided to come to Taiyo and cause such trouble. But you can't expect the students of these schools to just step aside. There's fighters all around at these campuses, and they're going to defend their schools!"

Back to standing, the girl's hands come back to a ready position as she regards Igniz, one arm raised to block some of the brightness that is his next attack against the hapless Choi, blasting the midget for all he's good for. The magnitude of the power unleashed is impossible to miss and the girl stares with some shock for a moment... But with Choi trapped by the chi, she needs to act, and so act she does, staying on the offense as she sprints forward.

With no peeping midgets, she seems a lot more willing to take to the air, flipping up into a knee drop aimed for Igniz's shoulder. And should she connect, she'll follow up with a second kick to his other shoulder as she flips backward to come back down to landing on the ground, momentarily unaware that Choi is at all even remotely conscious anymore.

It seemed his purchase had succeeded. The one thing that he had though, for once, could easily turn the tide of battle. At least, tip the slaces back in his own favor. Even as Choi buzily fires himself for Igniz's chest, trying to cleave right through, Igniz's figure shifts, moves and zips towards the side, now besides Hotaru.

"Then you should think again." Igniz states for a matter of fact.

Even so, Igniz is not out of the woods. Hotaru is seeking vengence still, especially due to K9999's outlandish strikes. It's something that Igniz can imagine, a work of art, beautiful. Still, Igniz can think about many things. But Hotaru has grasped the god's attention for now. For better or for worse, it's yet to be seen.

"I had come looking for someone. And, at this moment, I have yet to find them." Igniz explains. "If you could tell me where I might find... her. Then I'll not assault again/

A simple offer really, but who he does not say yet. Still, Hotaru whips about kicking forward with a knee drop, kicking back into Igniz as he falter backwards with a breathe. "Their resistance is expected, even if it is so hard to comprehend them welcoming a god." The leader of NESTS says as he doesn't do anything first.

But the suit, well, it takes up two important things.

The first, data from K9999 still had been fresh, entirey grasping it for his own purposes. The second, well....

His white aura flares up as it surrounds him, the emaculate chi overlaying his figure. Igniz smiles rather happily.

Obviously this is all Iincyo's fault.

Choi ... oh dear, poor Choi. Wait. WAIT. Poor Choi? She must have been hit harder than she thought, yet she can't argue. Poor Choi. That had too feel like two sacks of bricks hitting from each side.. that's alot of bricks!

But as Iincyo finally gets herself in the 'center' of her state, she drops the blue light, having finally regained herself more than a 'slight' bit. And with Hotaru talking for her .. well, she's proud! Yet at the same time ..

Hotaru, she is one of the fighters! Even if she isn't Batsu, or Roberto, or Nagare or .. well the list.. she goes on. But she does mean the entirety, and that would include Hotaru from .. Seijyun, was it?

Suddenly on the offensive, the jacket billows as she dashes forwards, leaping off the ground and into the air, towards Igniz. "I said .. I probably know .... but that doesn't mean you'll ever get it from any of us .. stop terrorizing schools .. I'll make sure to give everything just to slow you down!"

And for the moment? This involves jump jump SPIN, her jacket flapping in the air ( she's wearing gym shorts so nothing else really flaps ), before she kicks down at Igniz. "You're .. just a mad man!"

Choi clatters on the ground in a roll. His panty-fueled counter attack failed. But he was still alive. Technically. He looked a bit lopsided from the attack, and he seems to have trouble stopping his body from tremoring. But at least the girls feel sorry for him!

Choi had very few reasons to keep fighting. But those few reasons were very important. Panties, panties, and more panties. The idea of actually getting a high school where he is a hero was too much to pass. He just had to drive this guy off. Ignore the failure. He really was going to pull this off. Nipping up off the ground, he wound up tightly. He didn't bother talking. He really wasn't in the condition to talk. The only condition he was suitable for was fighting.

Unwinding, he began to pirouette rapidly. Spinning like a top, winding winds of chi energy wound around him, coursing between his claws as he charged his cyclone right back at Igniz. He might be claiming to be a god, but hubris was not something Choi took kindly too.

Her two strikes delivered, Hotaru lands back down on the ground in a half crouch before rising back up to standing. Battling in uniform isn't a common practice for her, unlike a fair number of her fighting female friends. Then again, most of them aren't so acrobatic in the air as she either... Blue eyes stray across Choi, surprised to see he's still up and moving. That little guy is like some kind of cockroach. At the very least, he should prove to be rather /distracting/.

Catching her breath for a moment, Hotaru focuses on Igniz as he begins to accumulate more power to himself. It seems almost silly to charge him at a time like that, but she doesn't have much choice. She can't leave her ally... and... well... Choi to jump at him on their own. Especially considering poor Iincyo's condition.

"Who are you looking for?" the girl asks, trying to keep her voice calm. While she agrees with Iincyo about not telling him, it'd be good to know who HAS caught the self proclaimed god's attention such that he would come here. Breathing in deeply, the girl charges forward again, turning her shoulder toward Igniz as she attempts to drive it into his chest before turning her torso toward him and deliver a strong double palm press as well!

Tick tock tick tock. As time goes by, Igniz isn't very off on making sure that he'll be plenty set as the time passes. The clockinside of the battlesuit seems to go on without him, moving at a decreased rate, back and forth, back and forth, slowly telling him how much time he has left.

And most likely, Igniz will learn to listen to it more carefuly.

As the time passes, Choi barrages into Igniz's fields, the field dancing up to stop the blows and chi, slowing them to a crawl where it barely strikes the armor, but enough to truely leave a decent sized dent. But he doesn't strike back, instead, he pays his attention to Hotaru too late.

A malfunction, a bug in the system. Call it what you will, Igniz isn't able to act upon it as Hotaru powers her way into his figure, the powerful strike Igniz was sure he had caught, slipping about the recticle on the suit, smashing into him. It pains, striking heavily. Unexpected, the double palm press would work so well, but still, there was time he had. He only needed to venture after it.

But this 'time' fades as Igniz expects. Iincyo charges, the Chairperson being a dedicated hero to Taiyo High, but, well, snuffed out as she strikes. He's just a mad man? Well, he can't have that talk. Even as the jump spin kick comes down, a single hand is rose, a jet of white chi violently leaping out, sending Iincyo from where she came from, and maybe farther.

"A mad man? A god." Igniz shakes his head, correcting her. "It's very unfortunate that you cannot get it right." Even after it, Igniz looks as if nothing had happened, turning to Hotaru.

"I'm looking for Shurui. Do you know where she is?"

And then that's about when .. Iincyo's leg comes down. And it comes down right against the jet of white chi, sending her spiralling backwards. The cloud of dust she kicks up is terrible, and the fact that she displaces cement and concrete will only tell later of her wounds.. but perhaps silly, she gets up.

She's bloody. Quite bloody .. but she rises. She should stay down.. but she doesn't.

With the rest of her effort, Iincyo immediately launches herself towards the large caped man.. more blood loss by the moment.. and with all of her might, attempts to crash into Igniz, swinging slow, but telling strike, after slow but telling strike. They are anything but bee stings..

But with all the loss of blood.. it might just be his mirage she's swinging at.

"Hah ... For .. her?... HIYAH!"

She finishes with a heavy kick, after a few palm strikes, followed at the end with a heavy throw, trying to bend Igniz over and break him, before his arms... it's followed by her collapsing in a bloody heap.

Choi's hacking was slowed down those damned barriers. And now. Well. And now he was getting very tired. His panty-based burst of energy was wearing off. He had to take him down. For the sake of the reward, if nothing else.

He didn't pull away. The Korean just kept pushing through the invisible walls, trying to slash at his ear, or anything around there. He couldn't lose. Not just yet.

Her palm press delivered, Hotaru holds the position for a while before drawing her hands back. The man's suit... is complex, that much she's gathering. It reminds her of when she fought, briefly, Maxima, a long while back. But he was denser, heavier than he appeared. Igniz doesn't appear to be slowed down at all for his strange attire. The girl hops back, putting distance between herself and the megalomaniac for a moment as he speaks. "Shurui... no, I do not know where she attends or where she is." the girl states quite openly. She does know /who/ the girl is, but only from having fought alongside her in a SNF. Beyond that, she knows nothing about the student.

But at least now she knows who he seeks, perhaps she can warn the girl if she can find her... Iincyo is struck hard. Hella hard. But she keeps on fighting all the same. She has a remarkable spirit about her, determination the likes of which Hotaru doesn't often see. It's inspiring in a sense. Not unlike Choi's inspirat... no... no his inspiration is pretty bad, actually, but fortunately she doesn't know what it /is/.

Well, she can't likely just talk to him nicely and ask him to leave... so she's going to stick to attacking, right along with the other two determined fighters. Charging forward... the girl slides into a reverse roundhouse, kicking from low to high as she spins around. Her foot won't pass near enough to reach Igniz, but the swath of blue chi that trails out in the wake of her kick /just/ might. "KYA!"

Sometimes things do not go according to plan. And somtimes that's a terrible understatement. Even as Igniz begins to watch, he pays attention to Iincyo. He manages to make his way about it, even as he comes. He mirages out of it simply, floating towards the side with a terrible grin. It's a smile. Wounded, but not out.

But directly into Hotar

Into Hotaru's shot. Even as the reverse roundhouse is send out, Igniz is rathr sure he can deal with it. He's wrong. It punishes him, firing into his side as he attempts to out manuever it. But it comes anyways. The god of NESTS cannot do anything about it.

Gritting and bearing it, as Choi comes once more, Igniz simply lashing out with his own punch, a power one designed to knock Choi out cold, but it doesn't work, instead, his 'ear' is cut. It bleeds, and Igniz is not happy. Not happy at all. Looking about. Igniz will have to think of something. Quickly.

Choi nicks his ear. And this is a call for success. And he even got upskirt action in the process. Man. If only Choi could fight Hotaru. That would be a real party. She could power hit him all night long.

The Korean returns his focus as his clawed hand continues to move down. With little warning, the little man drops it to the ground. Putting all his weight on it, he whips around, trying to trip the confused-looking man to the ground. When there was an opportunity, the dwarf had to exploit it.

Come to think of it, that was the whole reason the Korean was a good guy right now.

Snapping her foot down to the ground, Hotaru spins out of the chi infused whirling kick, her skirt swishing back into position a split second later as she turns her blue eyed focus back on the powerful veteran. Compared to her she knows she's fighting a monster of a fighter. He's contended, round after round, multiple attacks that would easily best her own less impressive endurance. But it is only in numbers that students can hope to defend themselves from the likes of Igniz anyway and Hotaru is going to try and pursue that all the same.

Choi scratches him, her own attack lands, but Igniz is still moving fine in spite the gaps in the defenses his suit is providing him. Of course, she's been maintaining a fast pace since the fight began and it's starting to catch up with her, her breaths coming a bit harder now. Of course, compared to the condition Naerose or Iincyo ended up in, she's not so bad off.

A quick glance at Choi reveals he continues to strive as if all the girlie garments in the world rested on the line and Hotaru moves in quickly after, trying to stick to double-teaming the more powerful fighter. Similar to how she challenged K9999 at first, she tries to come in and tackle Igniz at the waist, hoping to hook her left arm around his middle and push him back over her other leg as it slips in behind him. It's hardly the most amazing attack in the world, but if she manages to get him down, he might not quite have it in him to keep getting back up afterward!

Even as Choi comes at Igniz with his claws and strikes, and Hotaru comes at him still, it's getting rather crowded. If anything, Igniz is simply going to make sure that whatever he does, everyone else will entirely feel it.

As Hotaru aims to hurl Igniz, getting closer and snapping down, the God of NESTS isn't about to simply falter. As the man's thrown, he falls about, finally striking the ground, but the four fields acting as a cushion. It was fine.

Even still, as Choi comes once more, Igniz took no chances. A quick kick meets Choi's in stead, ending the assault quickly as it was fired. Igniz is not taking any chances as best he can. Perhaps the entire reason Choi gets up once more. Still, he leaves himself in a postion that he may be able to use to an advantage.

May.

Choi is quickly struck with a rapid kick, smashing him back. His ribs feel like jelly and nails. He hugs his body. His knees felt like jelly and nails. His head felt like jelly and nails. In fact, it would be safe to say that every part of Choi felt like Jelly and nails. Hotaru was still going strong, but Choi. Well. Choi should really be dead right now. And right now, he is hovering right inside death's door.

But the Korean still fought on. Coughing up a glob of blood and tissue, he wipes his mouth with the back of his hand. And then, he furiously charges at the man. Claws out, he begins swiping madly, using every single attack he could think of. He spins, he stabs, and he finally backflips. Can he break this man, or will he finally fall like all the other allies?

Igniz is knocked over, but to no real big effect, leaving Hotaru puzzling over the nature of the fields around him. Whatever it is he's fighting with, it seems to be a mesh of powerful chi and technology the likes of which she's never seen before. Choi gets a boot to the face and Hotaru winces, suspecting that'll be the last of /him/. Which means she's looking at having to fight the superior fighter alone. Even in his condition, that strikes her as an incredible challenge indeed.

Her hand brushes down at her skirt for a moment as she gets ready to try and strike him again. Does she have the strength to keep up with a self-proclaimed god? Why is he seeking that grey haired girl, anyway? What's going on with all of this? And... how is Choi still moving? Hotaru squints at the small guy going back after Igniz again. Is he just going to get another kick to the head for his trouble?

Breathing in deeply, the girl resolves to do her best, charging in on Igniz again. If the light attacks he's been peppered with aren't really doing the job, maybe she simply needs to throw out something harder. Coming in once more, the girl unleashes a strong combination of kicks, starting with a right roundhouse, then spinning out of it and launching three swift kicks with her left leg, from low to high, "Ya, ya, ya!"

Even as Igniz begins to think he has a chance, it all boils down into immaculate failure. Something that can be learned from, built one, and come back later to completely continue on.

Still, Igniz watches as Hotaru's kicks come. He manages to simply fire himself out of the way, but it was not the same as Igniz found that Choi's should, spinning and crahing, could not be stopped. He simply sent a punch to throw the man to the ground, but it was not meant to be. In his weakend state Igniz isn't able to connect, instead, falling bacwards towards K9999's figure.

From there, Igniz simply picks up K9999, and makes his way in, the suit providing the power more than anything.

To day was a learning experience, and he had learned a lot.

Leaving, he found Shurui was not there. Another school would be checked instead. In due time.

The bus makes its way off, with or without tires. Kyo clones don't care either way.

Choi hangs there as the results of his combo deals out. He coughs again. He did it. He saved a school. And now, there was only one thing to do:

Bask in the glory.

The Korean staggers over to Hotaru, and stops. Iincyo. He looks over to the girl, now broken from the fighting. She set up the contract. Not Hotaru. If she wasn't roused around soon, Hotaru might try and take her away. And if Choi wasn't having his sweaty hands in the matter, then both would try and screw him over. No way. So the Korean stares at the Kenpo expert, and motions weakly to the Chairperson. He croaks, throat feeling awfully tight and salty.

"We need to get her help quickly."

The blond takes his leave after the two fighters stick to him like pesky little insects that just refuse to be swatted away. Especially Choi. That guy is a freak of nature that just won't die. Igniz avoids her kick combination, sliding to the side, but Choi gets in to attack him all the same. At last the unwelcome visit is deterred, Igniz and his minions ushered back to the bus before they take off on squealing metal rims.

Hotaru snaps her foot down at the end of her combination, exhaling softly, hands pressed against her knees. That was quite the unexpected workout. And all she wanted was some paperwork. Choi barely makes it over to her and the girl turns around to glance toward the fallen Naerose and Iincyo, the two who took the worst of the fight. Though Choi got pretty busted up too.

She wonders, for a moment, what he's going to say. Something disgusting. Something she should smack him for. Something-... he brings up that they need to get medical attention for the two that have fallen, especially the poor Chairperson who stuck it out as long as she could in spite so many injuries. Nodding her head quickly, the Kenpo artist stands up straight, retreating back to the bookbag she had dropped when she first arrived, fishing a phone out of it. "I'll call for police and medics." Every student knows to have each school's nursing office on quick dial. It's just a /fact of life/ in Southtown. This place is dangerous!!

"You..." the girl begins as she waits for the phone to be picked up, "... um..." Ring, ring, ring... "... you know, back there, I mean, during the fight, you were- Oh!" Turning to the side, Hotaru begins speaking into the phone, whatever she was going to tell Choi gone completely unspoken.
