Of course about this time of day it wasn't odd to find Gabriel sparring, at the very least it wasn't odd either to hear the labored screams of his opposition gasping out for lingering breathes of air as their body's were pummeled into non-existence but of course Gabriel didn't yield not when he was pushing his own tempo, he wanted to excel above all means and things simply didn't happen that way by laying around.
The Downtown dojo in long beach provided for Gabriel when the students of 259's own conditions were minuscule and from that he took to when the dojo went in search of supplying new members. Gabriel was often called the virus because of how he drained their ranks and put so many into the hospital. In almost infantile fury he'd demand for more sparring partners.
"Do you all yield!? Cowards who call yourselves warriors, face me!"

"Same as always aren't ya," A voice rang out, as the crowd that had gathered around Gabriel parted in the middle to reveal a lone figure whose head was bowed forward, carrying what seemed to look like a blade, as the figure stepped forward and through the crowd, who stepped backwards to let the figure through, "Gabriel Seran." Reaching the edge of the sparring ring, the figure lifted his head up, revealing gray eyes filled with confidence, as Kazuya came to a stop, his hands in the pockets of his black overcoat. "Ya were always eager to get ahead of everyone, now I know why." Kazuya cocked a grin, as he stepped into the ring, the crowd closing the gap behind him.
"I'll take ya on Gabriel." Kazuya challenged back, as he reached up, and pulled his white bandanna off, before burning it to ashes in his flame engulfed hand, quickly easing himself into a simple stance, his hands held loosely out in front of him, as he faced Gabriel, the cocky look gone from his face, now replaced with a serious look, though his eyes burned with excitement. He hadn't fought against Gabriel in a long while, not since the gravity room fight, but that wasn't a true assessment of his power against Gabriel's, after all, the both of them had been weighed down by the gravity room affect. But now, now he could fight Gabriel without that handicap, and could determine just how much his power stacked up against Gabriel's. He couldn't wait to begin.

( ooc: Posting strictly as an observer, with Ryan's permission and because I ish sneaky like that! )
Kevala made her way to the dojo. She was there for one simple reason, she loved to watch Gabriel fight. Why? Well it could have been for a whole slew of reasons.
One: It was hawt!
Two: She learned a great deal by observing.
Three: It was hawt!!
So here she was, entering in and pushing her way through the group until she came to find the one she had been looking for. A grin curling upon her lips as she spotted just who it was he would be up against this time.
Well this should be interesting.
She found a spot, against one of the walls, crossing her arms over her chest and sliding down to sit upon the floor. Ready for the show to begin.

Gabriel cocked his attention to the side, total arrogance to an extent had left him blind at one time in his past but now what others would convey as arrogance he saw as confidence and so was the same in what he saw of this man. Simple arrogance, though it was a breath of fresh air not to have him so self imposed as to claim himself the victor to begin with, that would be a in itself a mockery towards Gabriel's reputation, a vexing pest in his own mind.
"Ya were always eager to get ahead of everyone, now I know why."
Gabriel cocked a brow out of suspicion. He was curious to know what this boy thought he did, did he actually understand Gabriel and for that did anyone truly understand his intentions?
"Oh? Then show me..." Gabriel grinned. A dark sinister grin Ryuu must have remembered all too well from their last encounter at Moral Crest when he drove the electrified pole through his body.
In a single burst Gabriel would launch himself across the small plain they'd created for themselves defensive position or not Gabriel would react at the utmost power. His first attack a violent dive his right fist leading into the blow at a downward angle across Kazuya's chin the left fist would aim to fire beneath his heart aiming to shatter his ribs and knock him aback.

"Heh." Was all that Kazuya said, maybe him saying he knew why Gabriel was always so eager to get ahead of everyone was an understatement, was there actually anyone who truly understood Gabriel’s intentions, or Gabriel himself for that matter? The sinister grin on his face, Kazuya remembered it well, from the wound Gabriel inflicted upon him when he had stabbed him with the electrified pole, he still had the scar on his chest from it. He focused and prepared himself as he saw Gabriel launch himself forward, closing the gap between the two of them, the cocky look having faded from his face, now replaced with a serious look. Reacting as fast as he possibly could to Gabriel’s first attack, Kazuya would move to the left to evade the blow, feeling the punch collide with his right shoulder instead of his chin. He then swung his right fist out, feeling it collide with Gabriel’s own left punch, instead of it colliding with his ribs, as Gabriel had planned.
The blow had its consequences though. Pain coursed through his fist and up his arm, as the recoil from the attack sent Kazuya back, his shoes screeching slightly against the floor. Kazuya held his fist, looking at it with mild interest. Gabriel had gotten stronger it seemed, the collision felt like it had almost broken Kazuya’s hand. "That hurt." Kazuya said, as he rolled his shoulders and gently cracked his neck. He wasn’t going to hold back any punches, he was going to give this fight his all, as he always did in any fight he was in. Darting straight at Gabriel, Kazuya would engulf both his arms in flames, amping his game up, as he fired a simple straight right hook at Gabriel's cheek. It was time to bring the fire.

Gabriel grinned feeling at the very least the satisfaction of knowing his foe better than he would have suspected. Gabriel's superior wisdom allowed for him to track both himself and his foe adapting to ecah assault. This would be but the first round, GAbriel's attempt at reading Kazuya's offensive. The learning process in which he could use advantage and learn his moves and break his fortitude. From first observation his speed was the oly thing drastically superior and having yet to thrown a punch Gabriel didn't know how well to guage his strength, but at the very least indirect hits wouldn't be the thing to take him down, GAbriel would need to capitalize on close quarter shots. Attacks in which he could cripple the boy into not bouncing back.
"That hurt."
Gabriel foresaw the attack coming, too direct but Gabriel being nearly equal speed had the ability to drop back the quarter of an inch to evade the blow but he wanted something in battle that was necessary over all. The sudden burst of fire was also a particular case to be attentive of. The sudden blow grazing his lower cheek with a burn wound on his lower face, the scalding pain nothing worse than what he'd felt in the past but it did hurt regardless. Getting close for his plans would indeed be difficult there'd be a need to get close or strike him at a faster rate to beat him down.
Now with their bodies narly an inch away time not passing as quickly as it would in a fast paced battle Gabriel would use this advantage of near equal speed to be reduced to nothing in close quarters fearing the brief exception of the heat burning in close. It was just his arms anyway, quick bursts towards the torso was the sceme.
Gabriel dropped his weigh so that he was balanced around the waist, legs tucked in close and protectively guarding his position as to not be knocked over lest it be by a powerful strike, his fists by his hips as the left hand shot out towards his lower gut seeking to strike the lower rib. If successful trying to break it in concordance to his strength, or at least batter it to a certain point. His right fist would come up above the right shoulder and strike for his collar bone. In the event he dodged back to evade the rib strike he'd suffer a more definative blow by the collar bone and the same with the alternate direction.

Kazuya smirked slightly as Gabriel moved enough to dodge the blow, but not enough to avoid the flames surrounding his fist, inflicting a burn wound on Gabriel's face. Kazuya wasn't surprised Gabriel avoided his strike quite easily, it had taken Kazuya a lot just to avoid being struck where Gabriel had intended to strike. Superior wisdom or not, Kazuya wasn't going to stop until he could move no more. The flames would only inflict a first degree burn, it was nothing a bit of burn medicine couldn't heal in a couple days or so. Kazuya wasn't going to let Gabriel get close enough to strike, he had a few tricks up his sleeve that Gabriel hadn't even seen Kazuya execute before. And Kazuya, since he was slightly faster than Gabriel, he was going to use that to his advantage. The two of them within relatively close range, Kazuya noticed Gabriel drop his weight, now more balanced around his waist, as Kazuya moved back a bit, his arms still engulfed in flames.
He wasn't dumb enough to try and knock Gabriel over, especially when he had tucked his legs in close, guarding his position well, as his left fist, along with his right fist, had been close to his hips, shot out towards Kazuya's lower gut, aiming once more for Kazuya's ribs, while his right fist came up to try and strike Kazuya's collar bone. But he wasn't going to let either one connect. Quickly sweeping both his hands through the air in opposite directions, he created flames out of thin air, effectively making Gabriel punch through flames, as he dropped his right shoulder down and back while moving back even more away from Gabriel, not to say the strikes were completely neutralized by the flames, they still connected, his left fist grazed Kazuya's side, while his right connected with Kazuya's left shoulder, just not with the intended power Gabriel had placed into them. That was only one of the many tricks Kazuya had. He still had a few to use on Gabriel, including a couple that could potentially place a roadblock for him to try and quickly burst strikes into Kazuya's torso. His hands held in front of him, Kazuya smirked slightly, as he bounced on the heels of his feet, waiting to see just what Gabriel had.

Gabriel flinched back away from the heat quickly analyzing where he stood from that point on. Indeed the ground was still the same as it was prior to the last blow though this time he'd begin calculating again with his constantly thrumming mind. Thoughts ticking by in quick progression excessively understanding all too much from experience in many fights not just with the man before him but with those styles he understood and those he'd grown too. Sure the boy had some new tricks but the major flaw it seemed was the fact that they were overtly showy. deflecting the majority of his force but not at a cost that he was unlikely to uphold. Eyes surveyed the wide movements, yes by the extension it'd tire him out, not immediately but over an amount of time.
New tricks indeed, though Gabriel was no parlor kid marveled by such tricks to him Kazuya was but a magician twirling his magic wand pulling that mystical rabbit from beneath his hat. All just a bunch of tricks no proof behind it.
But for any of this to be successful Gabriel would have to exert less energy than he himself had shown. Which in the past two rounds he had done so. Just needed to keep out of the heat, or if the time came he'd exert a bit of his own heat the kind that didn't cool down.
Instead of holding back Gabriel approached on the offensive once more, his fists going no further than body length as they were tucked in. His feet bouncing to the same rhythm as his foe. Bam, the first shot would fire out of his left hip, the fist firing towards his face, Gabriel's right hand remaining back close to his own face protectively before the assault was deflected, dodged or made contact. In which case they'd change positions rolling his shoulder this time so his right would hit with more force than the first strike had.

Kazuya couldn't help but smirk even more, as far as showy moves went, that was nothing compared to what he was capable of doing with his Qi. Though he wasn't about to pull them out like a magician pulling the trick rabbit out from his top hat, not yet anyways. Showy or not, Kazuya had been sticking to his plan so far, limiting his moves as much as possible, though there were a couple times when he had to use wide moves, in order to reduce the amount of damage inflicted from Gabriel's moves to the minimum as much as possible. He was going to continue to keep his moves as simple as possible, exerting as little energy as he could. Gabriel was stronger, Kazuya barely managing to counter his attacks, and he was able to predict Kazuya's moves. The only advantage Kazuya had over Gabriel, was he was faster than him, but that wasn't a big advantage, when you think about it. But once again, Gabriel wasn't holding back, he was on the offensive once more, closing the space between the two of them, though his fists were no farther away than a body length, since he had tucked them in.
Bouncing to the exact rhythm as Kazuya was, he watched Gabriel as closely as he possibly could, as he lashed out at Kazuya with his left hand, aiming for Kazuya's face. Kazuya turned his head, flowing with the direction of the punch, blocking Gabriel's right punch with his arms, the force of the blow sending Kazuya sliding backwards slightly, as he lowered his arms, revealing a wide smirk on his face. "Is that all you've got... Gabe?" Kazuya asked in a slightly mocking tone of voice, making it seem like the attacks Gabriel had executed so far were nothing but mere child's play, brushing them off like they were not even worth the effort. And although Kazuya respected Gabriel as a fighter, Kazuya was going to show him that he could fight on par with him. Even if he wasn't at the level Gabriel was currently at. He was going to start simple once more, and started off this round with a simple left hook, his right hand kept close to his body, ready to defend if needed.

Gabriel cocked a brow stepping back slightly after the brief exchange of blows that were merely one sided. To be quite honest In these past two rounds Gabriel had seen much of who Kazuya was as a fighter. The notable strengths and powers he'd accumulated over the years ground down to little beyond quick taunting and always on the defensive. It would have made Gabriel angry. Of course it wasn't the taunting that Kazuya made out with, rather it was the limited actions as a fighter he performed, they were a mockery to how he viewed a fighter. Over the past few months he'd experienced everyone from the feared Leon Sudeki to the respected "Unfettered" Winters. And yet this challenge as it would seem wasn't a harsh blow to the heart, rather it shamed him.
"I'd suggest you start showing me what kind of a fighter you want to become, because I'm hardly impressed."
Gabriel cocked a smile turning back now for his turn on the defensive as the first attack fired at him was easily blocked by him flinging his right hand up catching KAzuya by the knuckles Gabriel's hand consuming his entire fist. With the first out of his square move Gabriel would perform would be a left kick to Kazuya's lower rib cage still biding to his hand so that was disabled as an act of defense.

"... Heh. Then I suggest you do the same." Kazuya replied, as he straightened up, adjusted the fingerless glove on his left hand, and quickly eased back into the stance he had taken up beforehand. Matching the smile Gabriel had on his face with a cocky smirk of his own, Kazuya started the round off with a left hook, which was, no surprise, caught by Gabriel. Kazuya expected this to happen, after all, Gabriel had managed to predict and counter or evade most, if not all of Kazuya's moves so far. His entire fist now consumed by Gabriel's hand, a left kick would be sent rocketing his way, as Kazuya snapped his right hand out and grabbed onto Gabriel's leg, having shifted his body just enough that the blow would not connect fully, as he gripped Gabriel's leg tightly, his foot somewhat embedded in Kazuya's torso. The two of them each had one of their opponent's limbs in their grasp, Kazuya gripping Gabriel's leg, Gabriel holding onto Kazuya's entire fist. Only difference was, Kazuya's fist was completely engulfed in flames, and unless Gabriel was flameproof, the longer he held onto Kazuya's fist, the longer his hand was going to be burned.
Likewise, since Kazuya was holding onto Gabriel's leg, the flames surrounding his arm had already proceeded to burn through Gabriel's pants leg, and just starting to burn his leg. Kazuya never cared what other people's opinion of him was, and only a couple actually did matter to him, and Gabriel, was not one of them. Kazuya was not here to impress the young Seran, he was here to fight, to show how much he had improved, and to see how much more there was for him to improve. With Gabriel's leg now firmly locked in Kazuya's grip, he was only balancing on one leg. But Kazuya wasn't stupid, he try to knock Gabriel off balance, all that would succeed in doing was making Kazuya tumble down to the ground alongside him, given his fist was firmly encased in Gabriel's hand. Kazuya grinned inwardly. Both his arms were occupied, while Gabriel had his other arm free. But Kazuya still had a few viable ways of attacking. Lifting his left knee up and rotating as close to 90 degrees as he possibly could, he quickly extended his leg aiming to strike Gabriel in the side with his heel.
And given that Gabriel's free arm was on the opposite side, he would have a rather difficult time blocking, even evading it, but Kazuya didn't rule out anything yet, knowing Gabriel, he would have something to counter it. And to make it even more interesting, just as his leg got close enough, Kazuya placed... his entire body on fire. And you thought dealing with a side kick was bad enough, try dealing with a side kick... with a side of flames.

Tied up, thats what he was at the moment, even wincing slightly at the heat of the flames of course what Gabriel had been neglecting to do was unleash his own sort of firestorm unto the boy. For reasons only known to him Gabriel didn't want to become reliant on his Qi, it left him weak and drained him over too much time, but now was as good a time as any to at the very least activate the thing in a burst effect. Use it in limitation and perhaps gain the upper hand he was surely capable of.
"AHHHH!!!!"
A burst of furious light would explode from Gabriel's body signifying his immense gain of power, though nothing short of his true abilities, the power would be embodied in his own heat thusly nulling out the effects of Kazuya's flames on his body. Now with that advantage it came down to pure skill, experience, and quite possibly luck.
Unable to shift Kazuya's attack in swift enough of a time Gabriel relaxed letting the blow go thusly resulting in his balance to shift down and out. In reaction his free left hand would have extra momentum behind its forceful punch directing towards Kazuya's face at a harsh angle. With the boy wrapped up the likelihood of him dodging were minuscule of course you'd always need to give a little to get a little in times like these. Sacrifice could turn the event of a battle around vastly.

Kazuya had never been one to use his Qi a lot, in fact, most of the fights he had been in, he had tried not to use it, instead relying on his own skills and abilities. Though it seemed he wasn't the only one that was going to be using their Qi in this fight, as Gabriel activated his Qi, a surge of blinding light engulfing the both of them, for a brief moment, the both of them disappeared from the crowd's vision, before reappearing back just as quickly. It seemed Gabriel had brought the heat to Kazuya's flames, literally, as well as nullifying the effects of Kazuya's flame. Touche Mr. Seran, touche. Now this fight was going to be based on pure skill, experience, with a healthy dose of luck possibly. His kick connecting, Kazuya quickly pulled his leg back down, planting it firmly on the ground, as Gabriel's fist rocketed out of nowhere towards Kazuya's face.
Unable to dodge it in time, Kazuya shifted the angle of his face, in the direction of fist, letting the blow strike across his cheek. The force of the blow stung his cheek immensely, as Kazuya winced in pain, but did not relinquish his grip on Gabriel's leg. Kazuya felt blood trickle down his cheek from the cut from Gabriel's punch. He wasn't done, not by a long shot, as he smirked. Yes, smirked. His eyes flashing, Kazuya created a pillar of flames directly in front of him, as it moved forward, right at Gabriel. And considering how that Gabriel was holding onto Kazuya's hand currently, it would be very difficult for him to dodge the attack. Although the flames he created was just ordinary fire, he himself was not affected by it. So even if he was caught in the flames itself, he could walk out of it unscathed. Still gripping Gabriel's leg, his hand still in Gabriel's grasp, the flames surrounding his body disappeared, though the flames surrounding his arms remained, he was going to try and keep Gabriel within the pillar of flame for as long as possible, though the possibility of Gabriel pushing him back to escape it was not out of the realm of possibilities, anything could and may possibly occur. Only time would tell.

*bam*
Suddenly Gabriel would feel the quick heat turn up as though he were being baked alive, though his Qi provided a momentary basis of normalcy he would swiftly loose this advantage simply because of the mass the flames took up. However letting go wasn't in Gabriel's best option caught in a pickle Gabriel left go of Kazuya's hand though escape was impossible with the grip on his leg. There was but one way out. Something Gabriel preferred to keep low key but this was as good a time as any to let loose and annihilate his competition.
"FINAL!"
Gabriel's hands glowed focusing everything he had into his palms directing a purely focused energy into his core and preparing to unleash it.
"FLASH!!!"
In a second Gabriel's force of radiation charged into a singularity would fire straight forward through the pillar of flame into Kazuya's torso. The force of which would shred him apart if not at the very least hit him with an immense force and send him hurtling back. Due to their proximity and the absence of knowing this technique his chances of evasion were slim at best.
