A Bit On Edge (Ryu/Open)

[Jason Harris]

It was one of the those unlucky sober days for Jason. Like usual when he hadn't gotten his fix he was a little testy to say the least. As he walked though the courtyard he twitched every now and then. He wanted to go off and destroy something, but was doing he's best not to.

The next thing he knew some got pushed into him. He quickly said sorry, but it was too late. He finally had the excuse to beat on someone he was looking for.

Grabbing the person that had bumped into him by the neck Jason proceed to choke the life out of him. Once he body started to become weak he threw him to the side and moved towards the person that pushed the unlucky student in the first place.

Jason was greeted by the pusher punching him in the mouth. The punch hurt, but not bad. He was going to have a fat lip in a second, but that was all. Reaching his had out Jason grabbed the student the side of his head and proceeded to slam it into the wall over and over again until he stopped moving.

Turning around he saw the crowed that his actions had gain. Jason would just stand there though, staring everyone down. Waiting and hoping someone else wanted to play the tough guy.

[Ryu Hayabusa]

Ahh random violence. How I have missed thee.

... Yeah, any way.

Ryu had no qualms about such callous displays of violence, hell, if any one had the balls to step up to the massive man with the piercing blue eyes, he regularly indulged in skull crushing himself. What he did have issues with, is people getting in his fucking way. The junior-who-ought-to-have-been-a-senior peaceably pushed his way through the crowd that had gathered next to the wall in the hall through which Ryu had to travel. Normally, Ryu traveled in the middle of the hall, but here, he'd just rounded a corner, and clung to the wall for no reason what so ever.

He'd almost be glad he did, though, for the fun he was about to have.

Piercing the gathering, Ryu stopped in front of an unconscious body. "..." Looking up, softly glowing blue eyes spotted the one responsible, obvious by the bloody half-a-corpse laying at his feet. Ryu scoffed lightly and stepped squarely on the spine of the one in front of him, rising in height a few inches, then stepped down from the platform and straight toward Jason. Top side peripheral locked on the man as Ryu stared at the ground in front of him, he'd keep walking of the slightly taller man would let him.

More than likely wasn't gonna be the case, though.

[Jason Harris]

It seemed the next person had stepped up, at least that's how Jason's mind put it together. Even if it wasn't the case it didn't matter. Jason was already on the attack.

He might not of had a problem with the man, but Jason had already snapped and was lost in his anger. As a result of this just about anyone that tried to approach him was going to get hurt.

Moving closer he would drop down a bit and use his left hand to throw a hook into Ryu's side. He would immediately follow up with a right hook to Ryu's jaw.

[Ryu Hayabusa]

OOC: Bit short.. Oh well. I think this suits well. =P

Ryu'd been right to keep his eyes on the guy. Usually was the best option, though. Keep an eye on every one, then kick the shit out of them when they're pretentious enough to try something. Good policy. Ceasing his walk, Ryu's right arm tensed and caught the shot on the arm, a bit above the elbow. This guy was no kind of strong, and the strike didn't hurt much.

His left hand whipped out and up, dragging his backpack with it to catch the second strike. "Bad move, kid." His supremely deep voice said, whipping his right foot up to crash full force into the man's groin, to be followed by a swift smash across the right cheek with that left hand, after he'd released the caught fist.

[Jason Harris]

Both strikes were block. Oh well, wasn't like it's be hard to do those anyway. After all they were pretty straight forward.

Seeing Ryu's leg move Jason moved his own (the left one) in the way. Ryu's leg collided with Jason's shin. It didn't feel good, but after some of he beatings he had already taken it was nothing he couldn't deal with.

Still though there was the problem of his hand being locked up, but that soon solved it's self as well. Catching the full force of the punch rattled Jason's head. Through it all though he still had enough sense to do something with he's free hand.

Jason would use it to grab the side of Ryu's head. With his thumb over Ryu's eye he'd apply pressure. It didn't matter who you were that wasn't going to fell good. His goal was to put his thumb clean though Ryu's eye.

[Ryu Hayabusa]

Ryu's foot came back down slightly worse for wear. It was never fun finding bone when one expected a soft landing, but that was rather more beside the point. This guy was getting on Ryu's nerves now, you don't fuck with those glowing eyes. You just don't. Whipping his head right with his left eye closed, he leaned to the right a little and brought the tip of his left elbow sharp into the bicep of Jason's extended right.

As he did this, his right hand slid out of the pocket of his black suede coat, and whipped up with the utmost of Ryu's speed, looking to grab the guy's throat, and smash him head first into the stone wall, right where the smeared stain of the kid at their feet was. With any luck, his skull would crack on the stone, but that wouldn't stop Ryu. Oh, no.

Regardless of a hit or miss on the throat grab, Ryu's left would crash full force for the guy's right side ribs. If he impacted here, he'd likely shatter a good part of the random bastards rib cage.

[Jason Harris]

At the end of the exchange Jason's head ended up crashing against the same wall he bounced the other kids head off of. He's head split open on impact, but that wasn't going to stop him. Using his right hand he grabbed the wrist of his opponent as he sent his left into the man's elbow. Aiming to force it the other way fast and hard which would more than likely end up breaking it unless he did something to avoid it.

If the man's arm ended up broken or his grip losened Jason would use the chance to slip out of the way of the incoming punch and let it hit the wall behind him.

Needless to say neither option would fell good, but Jason wasn't done there. He'd use his right hand and send punch after punch to the man's Adams apple.

[Ryu Hayabusa]

With a rotation of his wrist, the angle of his elbow shifted ninety degrees and bent in, letting the left fist cruise past it unhindered by a strong joint. Ryu's punch had been interrupted by this latest development, and his cloth covered fist opened, releasing his back pack to the ground, and whipped it up faster than it had been moving thus far.

Gripping for the wrist of the left arm, Ryu would press the man against the wall by the throat and hand, and whip his thick skull over the entanglement of hands, looking to smash his forehead into the guy's nose, and smash his head back against the wall. Obviously, once hadn't been enough.

For a final follow up, now that Ryu would have been up nice and close, the mans right knee would shoot up for the lower stomach of his opponent. Let's just hope Jason didn't need to take a shit.

[Jason Harris]

Jason's plan had failed and not much had changed as he was still pressed against the wall. The headbutt he received broke his nose on contact and caused a bit of blood to drip from it. Then the knee to the stomach.

Jason had been getting beat up pretty well and he was tired of it. He quickly grabbed the back of the man's knee with his free hand (lost track of what one that was). Posting his foot behind the man's other leg Jason would throw his weight into him hopefully causing him to fall over.

Whether the man still had a hold of him or not when and if they would hit the ground didn't matter and Jason would let go of his knee and use the same arm to drop elbow and elbow to the man's head and face.

[Ryu Hayabusa]

OOC: You grabbed Ryu's wrist with your right, so that would be the hand he has avaliable. =P

Ryu was much too strong to be toppled in such a manner, particularly by such a weak adversary. With roughly a third of Ryu's physical strength, the man's effort simply wasn't enough to topple the Evil Angel. Up until now, Ryu hadn't really been squeezing at the mans throat. Now he was. Ryu's patented death grip. Albeit, it wasn't at it's most potent, since it lacked the backing of his Qi, but it would be sufficient as he slid both Jason's throat and arm upward, lifting him off the ground, further destabilizing his effort to throw Ryu onto his back.

With a jolt, Ryu pulled his leg out of the mans grip, and whipped it back up to try what he had in the first place once again. A knee right in the junk. That coupled with the harsh strangulation the man would be getting, well... He wasn't going to last long at this rate.

[Jason Harris]

Plan failed, in a bad way too. Jason was getting held up by pretty much just his neck and having the life choked out of him. To top it off the man got his leg free and sent a knee right into Jason's crotch.

He moaned on impact. Getting hit in the nuts hurt and he didn't have enough air let to even verbally display the pain caused. Summoning up the last of his strength Jason used his right hand and repeaditly sent blows to the man's head.

Jason knew he wasn't going to last much longer at this rate, so he figured he might as well cause what damage he still had the strength to inflict.

[Ryu Hayabusa]

Putting a crushing grip on the mans wrist now as well, Ryu hoisted his opponent higher, and continued to squeeze the life out of him with all his force. As the right fist came back over, Ryu tilted his head into it, letting the first shot rattle his teeth lightly before his jaw clenched slightly tighter. A tooth baring grin came over Ryu's face, and that was never a good sign, looking back up into the man's face between each shot, and tilting his head into each punch. He was doing nothing to bother dodging his blows.

After the sixth strike, Ryu emitted a small grunting shout and ripped the man off the wall, turning around and smashing him head first into hard tile covered ground. It wouldn't be like the wall. This time he would have gravity and Ryu's full two hundred-plus pound weight bearing down on him, that pointy-toothed grin still present in all it's psychotic glory.

[Jason Harris]

Getting ripped off he wall Jason was headed head first into the ground by means of the man he was fight. Using his free hand he covered his head so the impact on it would be as great. It still didn't feel good though.

Looking up at the man Jason saw the smile.

"You gotta have the ugliest fucking mug I've ever seen."

Insulting the person that was beating on you and throwing you around like a ragdoll might not of the be the smartest option, but it wasn't like anything else was working for him.

Besides his tank was on empty. He didn't have enough energy left to even try and fight back, just do the best he could to protect himself.

[Matrim Gallagher]

"You gotta have the ugliest fucking mug I've ever seen."

Boy that kids got spunk... I should really do something..... Meh, I'll make sure neither of these two get seriously hurt from here on out...

Matrim stood nearby in the courtyard, watching the fight, criss cross apple sauce on the ground drinking a caprisun. He was watching it because well, he didn't have anything better to do. And he had to admit that while they were both pretty skilled, the one who seemed to be winning was quite the serious type, and had sort of a deadly aura about him. Maybe it was his eyes, and maybe it was just his technique of fighting. But he was really doing damage here.

The other kid however, he had spunk. He had something to him that made Matrim smile, he was a cool guy from what he had observed in the fight. He was losing, but he wasn't sore about it... well except for the smug remark about the guy being ugly. But that was probably just him saying 'you beat me, but you aren't better than me' or something along those lines. It was something Matrim could get along with.

Either way, he wouldn't interefere, not like they would...

"Hey aren't you the school captai-"

*THUD*

Matrim punched the kid out as soon as he started to say that, and he muttered, "Can't talk, busy watching fight," Before going back to his caprisun.

[Ryu Hayabusa]

Ryu's grin broadened just a little bit. His visage was almost demonic. Lucky for Jason, the real demon was sitting back, enjoying the show, much like the good captain sitting off to the side. In fact, Chaos had yet to open his metaphysical mouth the whole time. His captor was indulging in violence, and therefore, he was content.

Hefting the man up by his throat again, Ryu whirled around counter clockwise, and with a growling shout, chucked Jason against the wall. Not slammed. Threw. Looming like the beast he was, Ryu waited for Jason to come at him. If he was tough enough to stand before Ryu's death grip, perhaps it was time to get serious.

Fists coming together, Ryu's knuckles and wrists cracked dully. His mind debated whether or not to use his powers to finish this quickly, or say fuck it and take his time enjoying the first fight he'd had in months.

If Ryu's psychotic other personality had a body, he'd be shivering with anticipation.
