Enter Rastal (Stein)

[Jyo]

After his hurried departure from showing June around Jyo was running down the halls of the school with a look of fear on his face. this got students following him as those who had seen
what he could do wondered what could scare him.

He was thinking to the text message on his cellphone. It simply said "He's here" he didn't even see who it was from. But he had a horrible feeling in his gut tht he knew who it was and where to go.

He went out the main doors of the school into the front yard of #259 and his fears were confirmed.

There in the grass with a student held up wit one hand which had blood dripping down it was Rastal Cralith.

He saw Jyo and tossed the student aside letting his fingers slide out frombetween the kid's ribs leaving him clutching his side bleeding on the ground.
"It's nice to see you Jyo..... I've missed you and you ran awya without saying goodbye." he said in a sikly drawling voice that would send fear throughout every part of a person.

Jyo narrowed his eyes.
"Rastal" He said uttering the name as though it were a curse. Jyo couldn't belive this. Rastal had followed him again.ANd Jyo knew what he wanted as well. he rolled up his sleeves and stepped forward.
"Don't you dare touch another student. I'm here right now. So let's get this over with." He said.

Rastal grinned.
"No I don't think you've suffered enough." he said and in a blur of motion he was right by two freshamn. It seemed like a boy and his girlfriend. he grabbed them both by the back of their necks letting his fingers dig into them but not quite enough to pierce the flesh this time.
"I wonder Jyo. What would you do if I were to simply snap their necks." he said with a small smile in his face as he looked at the enrgaed Jyo knowing the ex-captain was now helpless.

[Jyo]

OOC: Continuing this. Still feel free to join in.


Jyo narrowed his eyes in rage. This was exactly Rastal's style. Hide behind someone.
"Come off it Rastal. You know damn well you are afraid of me. Let them go. Harming them proved you are nothing but a weakling." he said. Jyo at least knew the right buttons to press when it came to Rastal. granted he had just stepped into what was likely to be a battle he wanted to avoid. But unless Rastal drastically changed since they last me he knew that Rastal wouldn't let that pass.

Rastal fianlly showed a hint of anger. He threw the students away with a great heave. they got up and ran off. rastal was walking slowly at Jyo.
"Weak coward am I? Than why are you the one avoiding our battle Jyo?' he said stopping a few feet away. The hatred between them was almost a physical visable thing.

"Because I feel this is foolish. If not for what you did to Katie I wouldn't even feel I need to do this." Jyo said.

Rastal chuckled.
"Ahh yes her. She was lovely before I got her. Whats te problem. mabey I gave her something you never cou-" Rakel's smug comment was cut short as Jyo's left foot slammed into the side of his head. Rastal's head was forced to tilt to the side but he showed no other signs of damage.

Jyo sent another kick but Rastal caught it and then spun around throwing Jyo through the main doors of the school breaking the doors off their hinges. Jyo hit the ground and rolled to his feet seeing Rastal had lept after him with his long white coat billowing behind him. Rastal jumped flipping forward bringing his foot down in an ax kick. jyo crossed his arms throwing them up to block the attack. Rastal landed on his other foot and lifted his leg out of Jyo's block.

Jyo took that time to palmstrike Rastal in the side but at the same time he felt a tearing at his shoulder and saw Rastal had used the same claw-like attack Jyo himself used. The palmstrike still hit it's mark and Rastal was flung back but landed lightly. The two fighter's glared at each other knowing they both had improved since they last fought.

Once more they lept at each other and their arms and legs became a flurry of movement unable to be seen by most of the students. It was move and counter move with a hit actually being scored every so often. It was clear these two knew the ins and outs of each other's styles making it battle of endurance more than anything. Rastal amanged to get a nasty sidekick in though and sent Jyo into some lockers. Rastal lept after Jyo as he went through the air and as soon as Jyo had crushed tghe lockers with his impact Rastal kicked hima gain sending him through the wall into a classroom which only had a few students waiting for their teacher at the moment.

Jyo got to his feet and ducked under another attack. He rose up with a backflip kick nailing Rastal in the chin and sending him into a row of desks scattering them and breaking them as well. The tow fighters recovered and faced each other. Despite the seriousness of their fight small smiles were on their face's from the sheer challenge they gave each other.

[Jyo]

"I grow tired of this Jyo." Said Rastal with hatred dripping in his voice.
"Even your vaunted skills won't match this." He said and leapt at Jyo. His left arm shot out but Jyo couldn't see it but a loud crack reverbrated throught to entir school and Jyo felt an incredble pain in his chest and was flung back and slammed intoa wall twenty feet away and fellt to his knees clutching his chest feeling blood pouring down it. he looked up seeing Rastal walking to him with a sickening smile on his face and his blood on his fingers.
"Like it. My new Qi. I can use my hands at a rate faster than the speed of sound. It has it's downsides. But I am sure even you can appreciate the advantages." he said smiling.

His right foot shot out slamming into Jyo's rib's sending him into the wall again. Not able to defend himself Jyo felt his ribs crack from the impact. he hadn't expected this. Rastal had been toying with him. Rastal kicked again and again. he grabbed Jyo by the front of his shirt and lifted him up against the wall.
"By the way. I have a guest for you." he said. Another student came in. he was the same person Jyo met a few days back. Jyo had horribly beaten his brother back at #499.
"About time I can do this. Adn you're helpless. As long as Rastal gets to finish you he says I can take my time." he said witha grin.

[Stein Archist]

"Intriguing."

A large gust of wind blew Stein's jacket to the side. His pants ruffled and whipped around in the same wind. He found himself staring out at the commotion, his hair waving to the side. A dark smirk had placed itself on his face. From the commotion before already he could hear what sounded like a distant helicopter. A news one no doubt. This meant that soon this would be being seen live on tv. With a guy like Stein involved there was no telling what or who it would attract. However, this incident had turned into an unfair battle. With another guest involved a two on one fight had started. This would mean it would not only be unfair but it would go quicker and therefore be less fun for one to watch. Stein was not about to let this happen.

"Get back."

Stein spoke sternly to a small group that had gathered behind him to watch the fight. They complied quickly due to the dark resolve hidden deep in the voice. As they did so, Stein stretched his arms and legs out quickly, and darted in.

The newest member of the party was walking toward Jyo, his hands cracking each other knuckles. Stein's footsteps pounding on the soft grass as he flew in from across the field-like clearing. Soon the boy heard the footsteps and turned to see what seemed like a slight blur of a man heading toward him. As he put up what seemed to be a cross block, Stein's hand had already been pulled back. With all the momentum he could muster he sent an elbow flying out beside him as he came up beside the boy. His right fore-arm hammered the boy's cross block, causing both his and Stein's bones to vibrate. Because this guest had absorbed the power, naturally he was sent flying. An incredible 30 meters spend airborne before he hit the ground and rolled to a stop. The mere impact of the power has sent small shock-waves along the grass, tearing up some of it around where Stein stood.

"Long time no see Jyo Mashima." Stein said. In the distance he could see the boy get up and shake off his arms, he wasn't out just yet.

[Jyo]

Rastal looked over seeing anew person comeing up and slamming into the person about to beat Jyo. rastal released his enemy observing with a detched interest.
"Curious." he said simply.

Jyo himself looked up seeing who was helping him out of this one. He rose to his feet.
"Must be I don't think i recognize you." He said. Rastal whirled to face Jyo seeing the ex-captan of #499 smirking.
"Com Rastal I've taken worse from you and others." he said with a smile his left hand shot out in the clawd formation slashing at Rastal who leapt back out of range of both Jyo and Stein. he saw Jyo had scored a ghit matching the one he had taken.

Jyo looked over at Stein.
"Thanks for the assist. We should talk after this." he said.

[Stein Archist]

"That's understandable..."

Stein smirked slightly, turning toward Rastal who had just jumped away from both of them. It seemed that Jyo could at least handle him for now, and Stein himself had no real resolve to take care of him. However a new problem had come into play. With the news now filming the incident soon Stein Archist would be a name seen in TVs all over the state. That meant that anyone targeting him could easily come to fight him. This was not good at all. Stein walked over to a bench, making a point to see Rastal out of the corner of his eye as so he did not get jumped. He gripped his hands around the arm rest of the bench, and pulled hard as the rip it out of the ground. With that done, he swung it hard and fast, letting go at the right point to toss it.

The bench was not aimed at Rastal however. It was aimed at the news van. The large bench slammed through the weak side of the van and tipped it over, causing the broadcast in that station to stop. Fortunately the man on the inside was pushed out by the bench and at most had a dislocated shoulder. Now Stein just had to wait for a new role to play.

[Jyo]

Interesting. he doesn't want this recorded. though Jyo ready to leap at rastal but had seen what happened to the van. Rastal though was looking around imassivly. he didn't like these odds one bit. he wasn't stupid after all.
"Until next time jyo. You won't have someone saving your ass when we meet again." He said and dashed off down the halls of the school.

The person that Stein had knocked down looked like he was still ready to fight. but Jyo's stare made him think otherwise. He follwed suite and left. This left Jyo with Stein.
"Well well. You definatly handle these things better than me. Of course you don't have along standing hatred of the guy." Said Jyo walking up to Stein.
"Thansk again. But I wonder. How do you know my name. i have a good memory for the most part but don't recally you. Of course my memory isn't spotless." he said wondering just who this person was. he had settled things by a quuick arrivle. Jyo thought for a moment than realized this was the guy he saw in the halls before when he got the kid to the infirmary. But they didn't talk to each other at that point at all.

[Stein Archist]

Stein couldn't help but laugh. How quick that arrogant bastard prick was to put his tail between his legs and run away. Too many time Stein had confronted enemies like Rastal did, and the odds went against him. However there were few times where he ran so abruptly. This boy gave a bad name to cowards. The whole incident was interesting to see, but what bothered Stein most was the fact that it had ended so quickly. That meant that both Jyo and Stein would be targetted for a retaliation of this Rastal boy was as determined as he seemed to be. Either way though, it had been enough to temporarily amuse Stein and therefore kill some time.

"Yes my current appearance is a bit decieving. See, I also go by a different name than I did at 552. You may remember me as Mayoko Leishmu.."

[Jyo]

Jy noticed the guy laugh. he wouldn't if he knew why Rastal ran. he might have been a coward but he knew it was a losing battle. Jyo knew Rastal felt no shame in retreat if he couldn't win,

He turned his attention to Stein and raised an eyebrow.
"Ahh this explains it. I never attended #552. I was at #499 my whole time in highschool until I came here. But I belive I know the problem. Lucky I encountered another from said school. You might want to brace yourself." He said with a calm composed tone as he examined his wounds from rastal's attacks. They were not too deep luckily. Jyo could patch them up after this.

"I met a girl once Named Mika Shimokawa I belive the name was. She also had encounters with who, you speak. It is extremaly odd. I have heard of two people being exactly alike even if there is no blood relation. But the odd part is the name. granted Jyo is actually common in japan. Same with mashima. But he had a different name then Hanara as a middle name. But from Mika's recollection he is dead. I am sure you can imagine the shock when she saw me." he said actually looking amused more than anything.
