Walking the Halls.

[Grayon Brand]

Grayon stared at the shhet he held in his hand. It was his class schedule, as useless as it was. He had no real drive to go to any of these classes, save for one or two. He looked up to get a clue as to his classes, and began to walk off in the direction of his first class.

He turned a corner, and sidestepped quickly as he nearly rammed into a ring of boys crowed around a single locker. Grayon stared into the middle of the ring as he passed by, seeing a rather weak boy being beaten up and picked upon. As Grayon passed by, the young boy called out to him.

"Hey! Help me! Please!"

Grayon stopped and turned to face the boy.

"What would I get from it?"

"What?"

"What would I recieve from helping you? How would I benefit from this?"

Schocked, the boy stared as the boys around him began to back up and sneer. Then one began to taunt the boy.

"Heh heh... see? Noone likes you, maggot. If fact, you're just here for the rest of us to pick on! In fact, this guy here wants something out of you, like us. He and us are just alike!"

Grayon spun on his heel to face the rude bully.

"Excuse me, what did you say? I am nothing like the rest of you. I am not a foul-mouthed, disgusting pig. And, by the looks of it, I bathe and do the laundry regularly. Not to mention I actually have a sense of style."

The boy turned to face Grayon, obviously offended and angry. He pulled back a fist and let it fly. Grayon ducked and shoved his left shoulder into the boy's left side, making him spin to have his back facing the lockers. Grayon quickly followed it up by spinning around to drive his elbow into the boy's gut, forcing him back into the lockers. Grayon finished his turn and faced the boy, quickly grabbing the boy by the sides of his jaw, a vice-like grip holding the boy's head in place.

"And I fight for a reason." Grayon turned his head slightly to see the other boys ready to attack him as well. "I wouldn't advise that... if you don't want this young man's jaw to pin him against the locker. If you do, then by all means, please continue. You'll join him."

The other boys stopped and backed up, giving Grayon some space. Grayon then dropped the boy whom he held by the jaw, and began to walk again to his class. The boy who had been picked upon quickly ran away from the boys and put himself in front of Grayon, walking backwards to talk to him.

"Thanks, man! I really appreciate you teaching those boys something!"

Grayon stared at the boy with his emotionless eyes.

"I did that not to help you, but out of self defense. I would suggest you learn to defend yourself."

With that, Grayon continued on his way, turning another corner, leaving the young man in the middle of the hall, staring at him as he left.

Grayon had no desire to help out anyone here. If they couldn't help themselves, then why should he help? it would benefit him in any way.

OOC: Random Attack #1!

"Gaaaaaaaah!"

A yell was heard, crimson blood dripping as a crowd covered around the brawl that was going on in the hallway. It was none other than another moment of Jake's assault on another student in the school. The spikes on his gauntlets ripped into his shoulder, digging a deep and fatal wound, Jake was a power that couldn't be stop, ever since he got his gauntlets he was not one to be reckoned with. Slowly, Jake pulled the spikes out of the guy's shoulders, he cried the whole time, and finely they came out, crimson dripping from the blades.

"This isn't as hard as it used to be, with these weapons everything is cake, but eventually I will piss off the wrong person, and then I will have some true fun..."

The man collapsed to the ground, Jake cocking his head, and looking at the crowd behind him forcing them to back up. That's when he found his next random target, his brown eyes looking through his glasses, and locking onto a man walking in the hallway (this would be you). Yes, Jake was here to make a mark, to show that he was apart of a force that was indestructible, he was fear itself, and all he wished for was a challenge worthy of him competing against. He wouldn't even warn this guy, he just began to rush out, his fists turning into fire, and ashes flying left and right causing people to back away from him.

Jake was the god now, not Hephaestus, Jake murdered him, Jake was GREATER than the gods! He crafter weapons that were even better than Hephaestus'' himself, he was the true god of fire, and he was going to make everyone fear his wrath!

Finally, with great speed Jake lashed out a hard right fist aimed right toward this guy's left shoulder (again you), and even if he managed to dodge, the ashes shooting out from his gloves would most likely burn him slightly, or worse GET IN HIS EYES!

Of course, the attack was enough to finish him in one hit, but it was extremely possible to dodge this attack because the flames were giving off a big warning. Unfortunately for him, it might intimidate him allowing the attack to slice right into his open skin.

SCARY!

OOC: Nothing personal dude, this is my rampage to get the pillars attention, I plan on destroying everyone on my way there. >.>

[Grayon Brand]

OOC: No problem, I need a fight anyway. That and it will be a good test to see how well he can fight...

As Grayon passed an open hallway, he heard screams of horror and suprise. He slowly gazed up to see a furious man, sick with rage or insanity, charging him headlong. He had some sort of gloves on, which were emitting fire and had spikes on the front, which seemed ready to rip away flesh and bone.

Grayon simply scoffed as he threw his backpack to the side, and slipped his hands into his pockets. He then simply bent one leg and waited for the man to draw closer.

"Why is it that everyone in this schools only desires to fight? There are other things in this world that should come before a fight. Other ways to obtain power."

When Jake got close enough, Grayon simply pushed off as hard as he could with his bent leg, hurling himself upwards. He began a frontspin as the man drew closer, and Grayon had timed it so that the man would run underneath of him, just as Grayon shot his feet down at the back of the man's head.

If it worked, this would cause Grayon to catapult off of the man's head, to which he would spin horizontally, and crouch as he landed, using his hand to slow him down. He would then stand up and wait for another attack.

If the attack didn't work, Grayon would land in a crouch and spin around, ready for another attack. He would also watch as the man charged headlong, trying to get an idea of just what power those gloves contained.

[jakeyjake]

Well, it seemed the man jumped over him, but he failed to see one thing, as soon as his feet came hurling down, Jake's free left hand grabbed toward the ankle of this guy's left leg. Unfortunately, he was in the air, so there was no where to go, and due to Jake's fire radiating from his gloves, it could cause some serious burns if held onto the ankle too long. That wasn't want Jake was planning though, he would only use the burns to cause this man to go into complete shock from pain, and then he would hurl him right toward the lockers causing them to dent, and most likely giving him immense pain. Plus, with Jake still charging that way, who knows what might happen when he catches up to the injured man against the lockers.

If that wasn't the case though, and grabbing his leg with his left hand failed for some reason, then Jake would just charge forward, the kick to the back of his head only hurting so much. Jake would feel it, but it wouldn't be enough to cause him yell out, though it would leave a future bump, that was true. He would then catch himself with the palm of his hand to turn from the lockers to look at his opponent.

This was only a back up plan though, and it was much more likely that the grapple was going to work, you know, since he would be in the air and stuff.

[Grayon Brand]

Grayon had no time to maneuver out of the way or counter. The fire enveloped his ankle, but did no more than a few minor burns. As he was thrown towards the lockers, he spun himself so that he hit the lockers with crouched legs. The lockers bent in under the force, and Grayon redirected the force to spring him at the firey menace. If this man wanted him to loose his cool, he'd have to do better.

As Grayon sprung towards the man, he flipped himself over so that his feet were facing the man. Now this attack might be blockable, but very hard to stop. Try to catch a spear that was thrown at you with your bear hands, and see what it would be like. Grayon knew he would have to end this quick, since it was taking up too much of his precious time.

[jakeyjake]

Charging toward a man with spikes that can pierce through the rubber soles of the bottom of a shoe? Not very smart, but hey, Jake wasn't complaining, all he did was extend out his right fist, and push it toward the shoe. Now once again, being in air he was in trouble. Fortunately, Jake was feeling nice, the flames quickly disperse as he shot the spikes forward, most likely it would stab into the bottom of his foot. It was possible to go through the entire thing, but in sake of allowing this guy to actually be able to walk in future references, we will just pretend all it will do is cause a major puncture which will take a few weeks to heal back up completely, sound fair?

Of course, there was one downfall to this, and that was the trouble of having to retreat his spike, which could be hard if it pierces that far. Fortunately, if the spike goes through, this guy would be in too much pain to take any good use of it.

Well, let's just see how this guy fairs off with this deadly counter Jake just made.

[Grayon Brand]

Bingo.

Grayon saw the man disperse the flames, which he was glad for. The man got over confident, and now he was to pay for it. True, he may be in mi-air and unable to move, but simply spreading his legs? No problem.

Grayon did just that, and spread his legs apart enough to let the spiked fist pas between them and over his body, letting Grayon slam his feet into the man's chest, hopefully knocking him back enough to wrench free one of the annoying gloves.

[jakeyjake]

Unfortunate... can you say goodbye to a man's pride? Setting the flames to fire once again, while the legs were going toward his chest quickly, the flames would burn right at his groin area. Even more was, while he kicked him, Jake would pull his glove back, there for ripping the claws of his left hand against his lower stomach, and going right against the groin, UNLESS he unleashed his hold of trying to get the gloves off, and he dropped to the ground. It was pretty much Jake's win, and of course the drop to the ground would be extremely painful on his part. After this little struggle, it was natural that Jake would be knocked back a few feet, but this guy was going to suffer much more pain. The main pain would be the burns around the groin area, and a possible extremely painful scratch from his belly button down to his crotch, OUCH!

Yes, Jake may be over confident, but he was a god, he couldn't lose! (This being in his mind of course.)

[Grayon Brand]

Grayon had guessed he might try something like that, and as such had been ready. He simply released his hand hold as the fire began, and pulled himself closer to the man's body so he would not set his crotch on fire. As he fell, he extended his arms behind him to lessen the blow, landing on one foot also. But one foot was free, and he sent that foot as quickly as he could at the man's crotch in retaliation. And that one would be hard to dodge, due to the speed and unexpectedness of it, if he hadn't been expecting it. The man seemed a bit "off of his rocker", so it seemed logical.

"An eye for an eye." was all Grayon said as he let the foot fly. After his attack whether it hit or not, Grayon would flip himself backwards onto his feet. He would then stand in a normal, non-agressive stance, his hands at his sides.

He then saw his coat, and the burn marks on it. That irritated him.

"Well, it looks as if our little skirmish is over. I need to get this repaired quickly, so you can assume that you won. I do not care what you say transpired." Grayon then removed his coat and turned his back and began to walk down the hall from the crazy boy. He felt the slight burns around his ankle, and looked own at it. As he looked up, he also caught a glimpse of his watch.

"Splendid. Not only will I have to take time to put slave on this burn, but I am late for my first class."

[jakeyjake]

With Grayon falling, so did Jake, his body moving forward to where he would land proportionally onto his victim. He would keep both hands out, and the spikes would clash with the ground on each side of this guy, if he tried to escape by rolling, he would have the claws stab right into him there for finishing the fight instantly, if not, then he would be trapped right under Jake, but for now let's talk about what happened with this guy's attack. Due to Jake being right on the trail of his opponent, the kick skidded in between both of Jake's ankles, due to their bodies being proportional of course, if a height difference, so little it didn't matter.

After he was pinned to the ground, Jake would begin to repeatedly send head butts at his nose, and since he had no where to go... well, he would most likely take some damage before he got out of this one! Of course, things were possible, but with their bodies being so close, moving any limbs except their head was going to be tough until Jake decided to pull his gauntlets off the floor, and retreat. Oh, and these head butts hurt him too, so eventually he would run out of steam, how long though?

Well, let's see how this guy responds!

[Grayon Brand]

The filp had not worked, as the man had decided to fall on top of Grayon. That was not wise. Grayon had somewhere to go, and things to do. A fight was not something he wanted fight now.

As the man sent a headbutt at him, it slammed into his forhead, causing a bit of disorentation to Grayon. But Grayon needed to retaliate, and he closed his eyes to do so. The disorientation put aside, Grayon "lowered" his head so that it was now perpendicular to the boys. Before the other man could fire off another headbutt, Grayon pushed off the ground as much as he could, while extending his neck. This would result in not the forehaeds of the boys connecting, but the top of Grayon's head hitting right below the boy's neck, right in between his clavicles. If that din't get him off, nothing would.

[jakeyjake]

There was a problem wrong with this man's attack, and that was gravity and strength being on Jake's side. Having his entire strength crash down on his forehead, even though it was aimed for the nose, and Jake didn't see how that worked out, it would slam the back of this guy's head hard against the floor of the ground. It was enough to cause cracks to appear under his head (in a Xin sense because this is a Xin based board.) It would definitely cause enough pain to completely stun him for a few seconds, and allow Jake to be able to easily use another head butt, and this time he would be a hundred percent sure it was aimed right toward his nose. This guy was definitely in a difficult situation now, oh, and just to make things more interesting, Jake turned on the flames burning this guy's sides, most likely burning through his clothes. Oh, yes it did burn Jake too, so eventually he wouldn't be able to withstand the pain himself, but until then, he would use it as a source to help boost his overall strength due to pure aggression.

So a quick note, Jake's head butt would stun this guy due to him having pure strength and gravity on his side. Jake would go for another head butt toward his nose while having his flames on there for burning his opponent's sides and himself. Yep, that just about explains it.

Let's see what happens!

[Grayon Brand]

Well, that was frustrating. Grayon was not only unable to lift himself due to gravity, and the weight of the man, but the headbutt had caused a bit more of an effect that he had originally guessed.

Grayon saw another haedbutt coming and pushed his head to the ground to minimize any shock as it hit, as it would travel through the ground. He then wrapped his arms around the man as the flames began to ignite again, shaking his head alittle to rid himself of the double vision he had for a second. Grayon then squeezed as tightly as he could, and pulled down sharply on the man's chest, as he flexed his elbows to cave the man's elbows in. As the man fell towards Grayon, Grayon would sharply raise his head up to meet the man's falling forehead. And not only would it most likely hit due to the quickness by which Grayon performed this, but also it would bring the man closer to his own dangerous flaming gauntlets.

[jakeyjake]

OOC: More of close ended RPing assuming that there is probably no way you can avoid this attack...

The head butt had worked, and Jake was now in the lead toward this fight. This guy was trapped, there was no possible way he could get out of this without some severe damage, and either way, Jake was quite confident that he would be winning this fight no matter the case. That was when this guy attempted attacking Jake's elbows, it had worked, but it caused on problem this guy didn't seem to understand. Jake was holding himself from his spikes, due to it just having incredible endurance, this was possible, and as soon as his elbows got smashed inward, his spikes slid inward there for having the claws go straight toward the flesh on this guys stomach.

It would stab in, it would puncture his skin, and would cause crimson liquid to leak through it. This wasn't it though, as the metal dug into the skin naturally, the flames would actually be going inside his wounds as well, this could internally burn him on the inside, and this was not a good thing to have happen. With Jake collapsing, if for some reason his guy could bare the unimaginable pain which would be surging in him, the head butt would work, but mind you, it would some what knock Jake out of it, and that would mean the LONGER his flames would be surging inside this guy's body.

As soon as that was all said and done, it was up to how this guy reacted on what would really happen next, though it would really be hard to react when you have spikes digging through your stomach, and flames burning your innards like a bitch!

OOC: Sloppy, but I'm really too tired to make this a beautiful of some random sort...

[Grayon Brand]

Well his attackworked... but unlike he had expected...

Grayon had expected the man's arms to bend out, the flames going AWAY from them. But somehow the young boy got the fire to come INWARD, towards the two.

As Grayon shot his head up, having it connect with the other man's he began to feel a tugging at the back of his coat, followed by a tearing sound. The spikes on the boy's gloves had torn into the coat, followed by a slicing feeling of his sides, followed by sliding behind his lower back. The spiked had just barely scraped into Grayon's sides and lower back. However, this meant that the fire was now able to easily get at Grayon's back, giving him degree burns...

Grayon thought quickly and began to push against the boy, who now semed to be slightly unconscious, most likely just out of it due to the headbutt. He quickly shot an arm out to remove the spikes from his back, hitting the boy's arms again to get the out from under him. He did that with the other arm, glad to hear a scraping sound as he felt the spikes shift away from his back.

Grayon sighed as he pushed against the boy to lift him up as he slid out from under him, standing to his feet once he was done, taking a damage assessment. He felt lots of burns over his body, ranging from the first degree on his abdomen to the second degree on his back. He was just lucky it hadn't gotten to third degree... He began to limp off to the nurse's office to get fixed up. However, he was a bit angry at the fact that he hadn't learned where that was yet...

Had he won the fight... doubtful. He had gotten more damage than the other boy, even though he was the one to walk off.

((OOC: Sorry for taking a bit of control, but you wanted to finish this. And just sitting there letting fire burn into me just didn't strike me as a smart thing to do.))
