Description: Aranha has been pretty restless while waiting for his next match and so he attempts to deal with it by scheduling an impromptu match. The two learn more about each other and their motivations. And another pair of Oakley Thumps fall victim to another fight.
While waiting for his upcoming bonus match Aranha was bit restless. Of course unlike the Jinchuu tournament, Aranha had no particular aim for information and causing trouble would've been pointless for him and so sat and waited and paced until he just couldn't take it anymore and so he decided he'd arrange a fight. This time with one of the participants and in fact one who was part of the team that eliminated his own team.
Aranha bore none of the members of that team any ill will and in fact enjoyed the fight he had with Ryu. The Dancing Spider decided to leave a note for the staff fighter telling him to meet him in the Exhibition Yard for a spar in preparation for both of their fights. Plus Aranha wanted to test Isamu out for himself.
The capoeirista stands in the middle of the mat waiting for the staff fighter to arrive stretching at first and then adjusting the volume on his new Oakley Thumps. The only thing he hated about the fight was losing that first pair of mp3 sunglasses.
Admittedly, when Isamu received the note from Aranha, who was one of the opponents from the other time, Isamu was less than thrilled. Then again, he never considered himself a fighter as the others were gungho to be. Nevertheless, Isamu is willing to comply with the request for the spar.
He is walking towards the inner court, silently observing his surroundings of the open hall. He cannot help but admire the regal institution a little more. While looking outward, he cannot help but notice the other fighter.
A friendly smile accompanies the young man, "Hello again. I suppose this is where we fight." He shuts his eyes, "I understand..." His eyes become focus as he looks at the soon-to-be opponent, observin him carefully.
The shades clad capoeirista nods in greeting to the other fighter before looking the other fighter over studying him passively. With a step back he begins to move in a dance like motion swaying left and right as he waits for Isamu to come in.
"Indeed. I'm sorry I called you in so unexpectedly but I was feeling a bit stir crazy and I felt this might be a good warm-up for our upcoming matches." He then stops his dance for just one moment while he beckons Isamu in. "Let's begin."

Aranha 0/-------/-------|-------\-------\0 Isamu
As the young man mentions his situation, Isamu's eyes shut once, considering the young man's plight. Looks like restlessness can accompany everyone. It is a bit unfortunate. The young man nods once, then he watches the dancing motions of the man. At least... Until he's beckoned.
"Very well."
Isamu decides to take the aggressive end of things. His eyebrows furrow once, then he approaches Aranha with his fist drawn out. As he steps towards Aranha, Isamu immediately swings his right hand out for a low punch, but it's a feint for a backhand strike and then the left hand comes forth with the left leg to strike against the man's leg.
"...What drives you to fight?"

Aranha 0/-------/-------|-------\-------\0 Isamu
Aranha seems to buy the feint. As he leans back away from it. He probably wouldn't admit it one way or another because as he leans back he drops a single hand to the ground to catch himself. However the question of whether or not he actually bought it or just managed to adapt quickly to it comes into play when he fluidly sweeps his left leg up and over to intercept the leg.
"It depends. I have multiple motivations." With that he brings that same left leg up and over just barely missing Isamu's face but using the momentum to generate power for the second kick, a roundhouse-like kick from his right leg. "Do you want to hear all of them or just one of them?"

Aranha 0/-------/-------|-------\-------\0 Isamu
When Aranha brings his left leg over to intercept the incoming leg, keeping him from delivering the fist fluidly, Isamu finds himself in a bit of a bind. Yet, his awareness is up to realize his situation. For when Aranha motions his body to draw the leg forward, Isamu uses the chance to step the leg back and leans his head backwards.
Next, that roundhouse kick comes for his face. There is one thing tht Isamu learns to do, and that's adapt. Isamu quickly brings his head towards the motion of the roundhouse kick, ducking over it while using the momentum to spin his body around for the sweeping leg.
"Just one of them will do." At the same time, the hand sweeps over to balance himself.
Whether it strikes or fails, Isamu is moving with the sweep to spin himself to a better distance from his opponent.

Aranha 0/-------/-------|-------\-------\0 Isamu
The Dancing Spider is quick footed and the moment that his feet land and that foot comes around to sweep his legs from under him and he back flips over Isamu's attack. "Well..." His speech seeming thoughtful inspite of the pace he's moving at, "I like encountering and overcoming new obstacles. Must be the traceur in me."
Aranha tries to take advantage of the fact that Isamu's body position is low even in spite of the fact that he's also spinning away. To do so he performs a quick spin to turn his back to Isamu an instant before performing a back handspring like motion to quickly eat up the distance between them and set himself in a handstand facing Isamu before raining down a flurry of kicks upon the other fighter.

Aranha 0/-------/------=|==-----\-------\0 Isamu
With the foot hitting nothing but air, Isamu attempts to recover the ground by spinning himself away to distance himself from the other fighter. The answer seems to put a lot of thought in Isamu's head.
"...So, a challenge. You seek to challenge yourself."
That is one way to put it. It elicts a smile at first, then he furrows his eyebrows, "And not to be---eghnn!!" He is caught into the trajectory of the first foot. Then, the flurry of kicks strike Isamu hard, sending him sprawling back. He grunts as he plants his right foot towards the ground.
After lunging back, he steps forward with the right cross, and then he steps forward to release the left fist out. Chi manifests from the hand, revealing the explosion of chi that drives itself towards Aranha's chest. "Fuujinken!"

Aranha 0/-------/----===|===----\-------\0 Isamu
Aranha pushes himself out of the handstand launching himself right towards Isamu and upon landing he quickly pivots intending to quickly follow up his flurry with a glowing roundhouse kick. However his push off was a little too aggressive and he moves right into the right cross sending him stumbling right into wind chi explosion which in turn sends him blowing in the wind and end over end until he finds his back slammed into the wall and his shades flying from his face. Thankfully, this time his shades aren't damaged.
He stands up. His body is wobbily as he reaches down and picks his shades up and slides the shades before stumbling and then dancing back on to the mat. "A challenge. That's a good way of putting it."
After the opponent is blown away, Isamu takes the moment to take a deep breath, then he watches his opponent stand up once more. When he dances back towards the mat, Isamu keeps watch of him and he muses. "A lot of fighters seem to like the challenge." He frowns, "Others have idealistic aspirations of being the best. ...But I have to wonder, how far will the fighters go to achieve that goal. What friendships and relationships will they sacrifice. ...Or who will they sacrifice?"
Isamu takes his stance, then he dashes forward. Isamu quickly shifts towards Aranha, immediately stepping his right leg with a foot sweep at the man's legs. But the momentum of the spin builds up for Isamu to leap up with his right leg out towards the man's cheek.

Aranha rocks away as he lifts his foot above the footsweep before rocking back in. Unfortunately he rocks back into the second kick. On the bright side, he manages to raise his forearm to deflect the attack has he spins with the momentum of the kick.
When he rocks back again he whips his rear foot around to strike with the outside of his foot to slap the other fighter in the face. "Sacrifice? What makes you think of that?"
If his foot his isn't interfered with, he steps back and resumes that swaying dance that his martial art is known for.

Aranha 0/-------/---====|===----\-------\0 Isamu
When the heel strikes against the forearm of the young, shorter man, Isamu slowly recoils back to his current position, keeping his hands forward as his stance shifts to a cat stance. He immediately tightens his fists, then he leans his head away from the foot coming towards his head.
As the fighter remains in his dance, Isamu works on a dance of his own. He takes a step forward, and then another step forward, crossing the legs as his hand moves along the motion of the wind.
"...Fighters sacrifice so much to be the best. They seem willing to think about nothing but fighting. That tends to lead to a world of ruin. Many sacrifice their bodies, their relationships, or even family."
Isamu launches his right hand upward, releasing the flow of chi that swirls from the ground. It drives upward, piercing like a sword to drive through Aranha.
"Nagiha!"

"Being the best. In a way it's a pointless pursuit." Aranha doesn't have enough time to elaborate on that thought before the spear of wind rises from ground. Apparently Aranha has gotten his over his susceptibility to attacks from the ground. Aranha cartwheels to the side and then spins towards Isamu.
"There's always someone better and always someone or a group of people who want to knock you from your pedestal. I'd rather focus on being the best I can be. Fuck everyone else." Aranha steps in just to get into the right range and then pushes out with a side kick before spinning away from Isamu.
"I'm in it for the challenge, the fun, the idea of matching wits with my opponent. I look at it as more of a mental game than most of my opponents."

Aranha 0/-------/=======|====---\-------\0 Isamu
That answer.
It actually draws a smile on Isamu's face. With Aranha's mention of the pointlessness of the pursuit, Isamu is quite delighted towards the answer.
"...Of the few fighters that I have talked to... You have given me an answer that I can relate to."
That is all what Isamu states once, and then he comes forth with Aranha as he steps into the range to pull out the side kick. Unfortunately, Isamu will not let him have that pleasure. Instead, the young man brings his hand to his side to pull out his small nightstick, and then he twirls it around. While the the weapon is twirled about, it extends to a fully-fledged staff. The staff twists about, sailing to smack against the leg and then the body of Aranha.
This isn't without the punishment that Isamu faces, the foot managing to strike the leg a bit at the process.
Aranha sees Isamu reaching for the nightstick like object and he was wondering if he could beat Isamu's draw. As fast as Aranha is, he just couldn't beat Isamu's speed at that moment. His legs are taken from under him and then smashed to the ground with the staff to add insult to injury.
Aranha rolls away in what may be a futile attempt to buy himself some breathing room before rising to his feet. In order to further buy himself even more time, he spins away even more and whips his hand out as he directs a blue chi spider web right at Isamu.

Damnit, Spidey.
Well, Isamu will have to have a say about the nxt movement coming his way. Although effective in pushing Aranha back from the strike, Isamu notices that the man had plans to release the chi his way. The young man immediately sprints towards the man's path, using his staff to vault himself over the incoming shot. With the spider web striking the ground, it captures the essence where it is at, but not Isamu.
Isamu is actually flipping towards Aranha, swinging the staff downward at the young man's head.

Aranha 1/-----==/=======|=====--\-------\0 Isamu
The odd thing is Aranha doesn't turn all the way around. In fact Aranha has his back turned around and doesn't look to be reacting... Until the staff is about to crash down on him. He then backflips as he attempts to jump inside of the attack and slam his foot down on the staff fighter's head. Instead the capoeirista gets driven down to his back. Hard.
Aranha's head gets driven back to the ground and his shades slide off of his face.
With a groan he reaches for the side of his Oakley Thumps and changing the music. Maybe a change in rhythm may be in order.
After Aranha finds himself knocked on his back, Isamu lands towards the ground and he takes a few steps away from Aranha. While taking the step back, the staff is twirling over his head, the weapon flicked towards his back before the other end smacks against the back.
His eyes watch Aranha with anticipation. The young man glances over at the dancer, watching the change in the rhythm. "Quite a risk to take..."
"Well, I at least understand why you fight."
COMBATSYS: Isamu calculates his next move.
[ \\\\\\\\\\\\\ < > ////////////////////// ]
Aranha 1/-------/=======|=====--\-------\0 Isamu
Aranha rises to his feet and dance goes faster. Swaying and spinning to the rhythm of his shades before he. "You'd actually be surprised how calculated the risk was." He dances closer and closer and then he brings up his instep as he tries to bring it across Isamu's face before dropping low into a crouch.
With a quick trio of taps on the ground he looks up at Isamu. "Not that simple... Remember what I said about having more than one motivation?"
COMBATSYS: Isamu just-defends Aranha's Light Kick!

Aranha 1/-------/=======|=====--\-------\0 Isamu
As that instep strikes towards Isamu's face, the young man lifts the staff upward, revealing the staff to face the point of the attack. As Isamu steps forward to the strike, a clash of energy ignites from the collision. Through the force of chi, sparks fly everywhere upon impact.
Then, Isamu recoils back, twirling the staff around before he brings the weapon underneath for a sweeping attack. "What is that other motivation then?" Then, he swings the staff upward to sweep Aranha off of his feet.

Aranha blinks as his foot is deflected away with kinectic energy meeting chi. His first reaction is to spin away but that reaction only meets with getting a staff swung at his leg.
Fortunately, he was fast enough with his recoil that he was able to bring his other foot down just as his leg was getting swept from under him wreaking havoc with his balance. Fortunately the capoeirista is able to regain his footing and he slips his foot around to attempt to get his leg behind Isamu's legs just as he attempts to slip his elbow right at the abdomen and with a quick lift of his hip send the staff wielder on to his back. "You said you only wanted one reason."

Aranha 1/------=/=======|======-\-------\0 Isamu
When Aranha regains his footing and slips the foot behind Isamu, the young man immediately springs himself off of the ground to get out of the attempt to knock him off of his feet. By now, Isamu is soaring into the sky, his body lifts forth while the wind guides him into the sky.
"Touche..."
And with that, Isamu soars back down towards Aranha, pointing the staff at Aranha. However, the chi that imbues it has the essence around it formed into a blade, making the staff into a lance. That lance drives towards Aranha's chest.

Aranha smiles a bit as Isamu takes to the air as if he had a secret. And then in a blur of speed Aranha performs a back handspring pulling himself from the path the spear and allowing it to travel towards the ground. And just as quickly as Aranha moved to get out of the way, Aranha is just as quick to move back in to deliver his own attack.
Two efficient and quick footsteps are all it takes before he shows the other aspect of his style by leaping up as he pushes off with hands on top of the staff wielder's head and vaults up and over him just before he kicks out with his feet to deliver a kick to his back.
After the vault he drops into a roll just so he can orient himself so he's facing Isamu again. "You know... Your fighting style reminds me of someone I know. Thankfully you don't have their disposition."

After the dive fails, Isamu recovers enough to note that Aranha is moving to deliver his own strike. Isamu actually lifts his hands up whtn Aranha attempts to flip over the youngman's head. When the feet comes forth, Isamu brings the staff downward enough to guard against the blow. Yet the impact has him stumbling back.
Immediately, he flicks the staff over, returning it to the nightstick and he slides it down the waist. A smile accompanies the man's face, "Thank you. Your style is very interesting to watch. You manage to keep your flow in things."
Then, Isamu lunges forward, spinning out towards Aranha to swing his right foot towards the man's cheek.

The fight is beginning to wear on the young fighter. And while he's good about his stamina management it still has been a long fight and his body is getting weary. That is why when he leans back he doesn't quite get away and he gets caught right in the chin causing him to wobble backwards.
He knows that he hasn't done enough this fight to get a victory not that it truly matters to him. It's not like he's fighting for life or death or a birth in a tournament right now. Even still he doesn't want to walk away from this fight without making an impact.
Digging deep from within, the capoeirista darts in at Isamu with a glowing blue roundhouse and then he follows it with kick after kick from every direction imaginable. Isamu may remember this combo of kicks from the team fight in the Strolheim tournament if he managed to get a copy of the fight by now. Either way, after the glowing and spinning handstand kicks are delivered, he tilts out of the handstand and wobbles to and fro away from the other fighter.

As the capoeirista darts at the kenpoist, Isamu awaits the glowing blue roundhouse to come at his direction. Isamu is very watchful of the man's maneuver, quickly evading the strike from even reaching his head. And with that made, the yong man shifts his head over to move away from each kick gunning for his head and body.
As he wobbles away, Isamu takes the moment to capitalize on the strike. The first thing that he does is step towards Aranha, then he immediately draws the glowing blue hand to launch against Aranha's body, aiming to shoot him into the air.

It's at this point that Aranha proves that not all that glitters is gold and not all that wobbles will fall. When Isamu reaches out with that glowing blue hand, Aranha's seemingly unsteady weaving brings him out of the way of the attempt to blast him into the air. He didn't know what would've happened next but really who would want to?
Then Aranha spins around to the staff fighter's flank but he doesn't quite attack. No he's going to slip to the outside of the staff's range and make a few more adjustments to the Oakley Thumps. The Regional rhythm didn't work... Angola rhythm didn't work... Unconventional fighters call for unconventional measures. Aranha has switched over to heavy metal. In fact, the current song playing on his Thumps is "Fuel" by Metallica.
COMBATSYS: Aranha focuses on his next action.

Aranha 0/-------/-------|====---\-------\0 Isamu
After the strike with the uppercut did not make its effect, Isamu is actually keeping an eye on Aranha, noting his change of the stance and the movement of his feet. As if thinking of the notes to the beat, Isamu reads into it as the tempo. Then, he decides to take the aggressive end of things.
When he lunges towards Aranha, immediately launchig his right foot out towards his cheek with a spinning hook kick, then he launches forward with a double snap-kick, each of them striking towards the chest. However, they are just a mere set up for him to launch forward with a quick palm strike towards Aranha's solar plex.

Aranha slips to the side as he weaves out of the way of the spinning hook kick and he's actually about to reply with a kick of his own when the pair of snap kicks come to his torso. With a relaxed sway he slips away from them only to realize at the tail end of the second one he's being set up for the palm strike but he turns and rocks away from the palm strike as he brings his arm down to take the impact on his bicep before spinning and whipping around a spinning back heel kick right across Isamu's cheek.

The clash with the palm strike and the arm has Isamu off balance to some degree. However, Isamu is not the type to put himself at an off-balanced point. Instead, he decides to utilize the moment to press forward into the attack. Aranha is very quick on his feet, so Isamu will have to play it smart. When the foot comes his way, Isamu steps right into the coming blow. The foot slams against his cheek, forcing his head to turn upon impact. One could almost hear a sickening snap. Yet, Isamu recovers enough to sweep his right leg beside the other foot while his right hand presses against the man's shoulder.
That foot sweeps over while the hand presses towards the path of the foot. Isamu is quickly shifting positions with a spin as he attempts to send Aranha on his face.

Isamu 1/------=/=======|
There's a reason that Aranha wears the Oakley Thumps instead of ipods or other mp3 players. Ear buds and headphones can be used to strangle him. Of course there are some draw backs to wearing the shades. People like targetting his head or the shades in particular or just have moves that send their opponents face first to the ground.
Aranha in a move to at least somewhat protect himself attempts to lunge in with a swinging elbow to Isamu's chin. An elbow that never quite connects and even hastens the speed of his face hitting the ground. The shades shatter on impact with the ground and the capoeirista groans as he rolls over onto his back revealing not only a bloodied nose but a face with scratches in the eye area and even a few bits of lens shard sticking out from around his eye.
Sadly, the breaking of the glasses were not Isamu's intentions. Unfortunately, it does so, at least. When Isamu sends the man towards the ground, he winces over towards the impact of the ground and then the revelation of the broken glasses. A sigh is given for a moment, then he kneels down.
"...Perhaps I overdid it." The young man looks contemplative towards Aranha's condition. Then, he shakes his head. First, Isamu checks to see if Aranha is at least conscious.
Aranha is quite conscious but considering the situation Aranha is quite obstinantly refuses to open his eyes. He's definitely not about to risk accidentally getting shards in his eyes. His eyes are how he makes his money both in the fighting world and in poker.
The capoeirista mutters in annoyance, at himself, at the people who have broken previous pairs, at the currently broken pair that still has shards coming out of his face and is currently bleeding profusely. "Yeah, yeah... I get it. I can't have music when I fight."
"Stay where you are." Isamu sternly states, not wanting Aranha to move a muscle. For the most part, Isamu removes the sunglasses from his eyes and uses his fingers to wipe off the shards from the closed lids. Then, Isamu reaches into his pocket.
From the pocket, Isamu pulls out a small pouch. From that pouch, he pulls out a small brush, using it to wipe off the remaining parts of the shard from the eyes. Yet, Isamu is not done.
"Keep your eyes closed."
Then, Isamu reaches over to pull a set of greenery such as agrimony and some more. Applying it over the face and the nose, Isamu is slowly drawing his hand towards the herb.
The young mystic's hand glimmers once, casting off a blue glow. That glow encoats the herbs, then it slowly traces along the face, offering a warmth that goes from Aranha's nostrils down to the inner body. Afterwards, Isamu removes the herb, which mends the wound of the nose and the blood loss from it. Even the cuts are gone.
Isamu, however, hunches low, looking a bit tired and a bit sweaty.
Aranha rises from his upright position after the herbs and energy do their magic, for lack of a better way of putting it. And he manages to look at his reflection through one of the remaining shards on the ground.
At first, a look of disbelief. "Huh? Wha? How?"
In all of his life he's never felt the healing powers of chi and as for herbs he's never seen the use herbs used ever. He has only seen energy used to harm and herbs weren't something used in the more familiar hospitals that he has actually known. To say it's a foreign experience is putting it lightly.
After awhile he steadies himself and pulls himself to his feet before turning to walk out of the same door that Isamu walked in through. "Well I learned more about you than I thought I would. But if you want to know about my other motivations you'll have to fight me again. Peace."
With the herb used as the focus, it has already been drained of its essence. No longer good, Isamu frowns a bit at the withered herb. He slips out a ziplock bag, the he puts the herb into it, making note to discard it elseplace. The young mystic shuts his eyes, thinking to himself before he stands up to his feet.
"...I'd rather you not tell anyone about this." The herb and his healing ability. "...There is one thing I will say. ...I am not really a fighter. Well, not like many of the fighters." He shuts his eyes, "...I am only in this tournament for a rematch against Krauser. ...To at least be able to perform at my best against him." Pause. "Nothing more."
COMBATSYS: Isamu has ended the fight here.
