They're Called Wootsticks [Kazuya]

[Mekiel Echigo]

[OoC: Continued from this.]

So the hook didn't work. Though, the move the guy's going for? Not going to work either. See, he's going for a sweep at my rather massive legs. They provide, for me, a very solid foundation. Now, since it's a sweep, and he's pivoting, he's lowering himself while spinning. There's no way to halt his motion and defend himself, and he's rather close. I wrestle. So, what do I do?

SUPLEX!

My arms would quickly wrap themselves around Kazuya and I'd go for what's pretty much a bear hug hold, and pull him over me. So, yeah, a suplex. Let's see Charles get out of this one!

[Kazuya Hikari]

"!?" Was Kazuya's reaction, his eyes flaring in surprise as Mekiel wrapped his arms around Kazuya and gave the most epic of epic man hugs, before pulling Kazuya over him, using a suplex on him, Kazuya's leg sweep having had no effect due to Mekiel's massive like tree trunk legs. From there, Kazuya felt himself being pulled down from the combination of Mekiel and gravity, as he landed on his back, though he'll be honest, he had endured a lot worse than simply landing on his back on the sidewalk. Shoving both his arms outwards, he would proceed to try and break Mekiel's hold on him. If he succeeded, he would quickly get back onto his feet, as he cracked a smirk at Mekiel. "I think this is the beginning of a damn good friendship."

If he didn't succeed, he would go with plan B, if he couldn't break free on his own, he would Mekiel let him go. ["I'll show you what it means to fight with fire!"] He would then put his own body on fire, if Mekiel didn't plan on letting him go, he might now. And if he didn't, the flames would slowly burn through Mekiel's clothing, the longer Mekiel held onto Kazuya, the higher the degree of the burns from the flames would end up. Kazuya didn't want to hurt Mekiel badly. But it had been a long time since Kazuya fought like this, not having to worry about this thing called a man's pride. There was nothing to gain or lose from this fight, except for maybe a box of Wootsticks. And that was the most important part of the fight.

[Mekiel Echigo]

So the suplex worked and, naturally, I let him go. Though, using my superior ARM strength, I pushed off of the ground in a back flip, raising my body as high as I could. You see, the guy was getting up from a suplex, and so naturally he wouldn't be up very quickly. As his head would rise, my thighs would fall upon his shoulders and I would spin my body in an attempt to spin his and screw up his balance. And maybe floor him. Real quick like.

You see, the force from my rather heavy body spinning would have a rather dandy effect on the balance of a rising man, and no doubt the suplex had at least a moment's daze. I have not a doubt in my mind that this won't work, though if he somehow manages to get out of it.. I might be screwed. Cuz I'm, like.. in midair.

"I see it too.. but those Wootsticks are mine!"

[Kazuya Hikari]

Feeling Mekiel let go of him after executing the suplex, Kazuya took a moment to let his mind adjust, as he saw, upside down naturally, Mekiel push off of the ground in a backflip, his massive legs hurtling straight for Kazuya's head. Reacting immediately, Kazuya did the first thing that came to mind: He rolled. That's right, he rolled, to the side, effectively avoiding Mekiel's massive legs as they came thundering down onto the ground mere inches beside him. Cringing from the inevitable pain, Kazuya did not stop rolling just yet, he rolled a little bit more until he had enough distance to get back up uninterrupted. Quickly getting to his feet, Kazuya wasted no time, the moment Mekiel had gotten to his feet, probably painfully though, and possibly a little dazed and out of it from landing flat on his back, closing the distance between the both of them.

The moment he was close enough, Kazuya would launch a roundhouse kick, aiming to try and hit Mekiel's ribs. Although it was definitely for sure that his kick would not inflict much damage, given how massive every part of Mekiel was, and Kazuya knew this fact, he wasn't kicking simply to try and inflict just normal damage on Mekiel. If Mekiel blocked or grabbed Kazuya's leg, all the more to Kazuya's strategy, as strange at it sounds. The moment his leg was close enough, he would activate his Qi, as both his legs were engulfed in flames. Now not only did Mekiel have to contend with blocking or evading a kick, he had to deal with a flame kick. "Not if I can help it Mekky! I'm not giving those Wootsticks up without a fight!"

[Mekiel Echigo]

So that hurt. Really, it did. And then KAzuya pulls this trick out of nowhere with FIRE. FIRE?!?!

My left arm came around and wrapped itself clockwise around the incoming leg, quickly meeting the fire. Now, of course, this was painful, but I could last a small amount of time with a burning sensation. After I'd have hold of the leg, I'd send out my right hand for a straight toward the solar plexus! That's right, even if he could use fire, it'd no doubt be put out or weakened by the shock of the strike, and if it /did/ connect, it would leave him open for a chain of attacks!

Though, if he blocked, that'd be a problem.

[Kazuya Hikari]

His leg wrapped in Mekiel's left arm, Kazuya grinned slightly, baring his pointed fangs slightly, he reared his left arm back before launching a straight punch, his fist making contact with Mekiel's own, effectively preventing Mekiel from reaching his solar plexus. Not gonna happen, not this time. Feeling a wave of pain run up his fist and through his arm, Kazuya's grin widened even more, although it did hurt, he had felt worse before. From there, the flames surrounding Kazuya's legs would die down, but that wasn't the end of his fire display, no, it was only the beginning.

If Mekiel was surprised by that, wait till he got a taste of this. This time, not only did he engulf his legs in flames, his arms and hands were engulfed as well. From there, he wasted no time and would try to rip his leg free from Mekiel's grip. If he succeeded, he would then swiftly attempt to punch Mekiel in the face. If he didn't, and his leg was still in Mekiel's grip, he would swiftly punch Mekiel in the face anyways. Either way, Mekiel would have a flame covered fist rocketing straight for his face. And if he thought holding onto a leg on fire was painful, this might be even more painful. It's your move now, Mr. Echigo.

[Mekiel Echigo]

So, he successfully prevented my strike toward the solar plexus by punching my punch. But, what did he do right after that? He left it WIDE open! The moment the fire died down on his leg, my foot would come down and stomp on his foot that would be on the ground, while I would push back against his leg, and then quickly pull on it. This would destroy any sense of balance that may have been there before, and send the guy careening toward me! Now, what would I do with a fiery man careening toward me? ATTACK! My right arm would launch itself in a hook toward the solar plexus, and then continue to rain 'em while my left arm held Kazuya's leg.

"You are not WORTHY of the wootstick!"

[Kazuya Hikari]

Oh that hurt. Or it would've, had it connected. But there was a simple solution to Mekiel's foot stomp: Kazuya simply shifted his foot backwards, having seen Mekiel's lower body shift and lift his leg up soon after, leaving Mekiel to stomp down on nothing but air and the concrete ground. He then felt Mekiel push back against and then pull on his leg, sending Kazuya careening forward towards Mekiel, the flames surrounding his arms and legs dying down as he sent a jab at Mekiel, his eyes flaring in mild surprise in reaction, as his fist collided with Mekiel's fist once again, hard he might add.

Once more, Mekiel's attempt to hit Kazuya's solar plexus had been countered. "Well neither are YOU!" Kazuya retorted, his leg still held in the grasp of Mekiel's left arm, as he attempted to rip it free of Mekiel's grip. He choose not to activate his Qi once again, where was the fairness in fighting with it when your opponent was not? Rearing his arm back once more, he would send a quick jab at Mekiel, aiming for HIS solar plexus, his other arm kept close in case he needed to block or counter. "TAKE! THAT!"
