At first Marcus would try and wiggle and slip his foot free from the Earth Dragons grip and if that didn't work, running on the instinct to hurt whatever had hurt him until it couldn't hurt him no more, Marcus would actualy tried to dive down through the earth after Mathew and try to get his hands on him!

And so Markus ended up diving in to the Earth after Mathew. A situation that was suicide if it wasn't for his pure ferocity! What happened next was a battle so epic that it was not meant for mortal eyes to witness. But just as both men's lungs were screaming for air they would launch out of the ground violently. Mathew landing to the right with a crouch as Markus would land to the left also like a bad ass.
Beaten and banged up Mathew had a shit eating grin on his face. So much fun! And the ferocity was something that he could respect. He liked that in a fighter.
"You know man. You're alright."
He laughed.

Exploding into the air, Marcus would Gasp as trails of debris were shaken off of him as he arced his way back to the ground, landing on all fours before pulling himself into a feral crouch.
What had happened underground was the kind of knock out drag up brawl that only a Dragon could provide. In fact it was a damn wonder he even survived that! Marked with scratches and deep purple bruises, blood flowed from an opened lip and one of his eyes were swollen completely shut, turning his head, he spat out a broken tooth.
"You know man. You're alright."
Comming off his battle lust, Marcus grinned his cheshire cat grin as he rose to his feet and brushed himself off as the Earth Dragon laughed.
"You know, You're not too bad yourself man. Sorry for....you know. Blaming you for everything that had happened after all this time."
He said, scratching the back of his head and at the same time, plucking bits of pebble and stone out of his hair.
"Fuck, I never thought I'd be crazy enough to fight IN the ground before. That's.....That's definatly a new one!"
He laughed then too. Laughed the remaining adrenaline high away.
"Good to see the Dragons are still every bit as much legends here as you guys were back in New York!"

"I honestly can't believe you did that. Normally I would have just killed you but jesus fucking shit christ. You would not let up and give me a second to murder you!"
He was rubbing his shoulders. They were fucking sore. And he was pretty sure one of his ribs were cracked. Who would have thought someone would be stupid enough to dive under ground to fight him!? What the flying fuck.
"We try."
He said with a grin.

"Well you came close!"
Marcus explained as he took his jacket off. His leg was a mess where the spears had punctured through. Stripping his shirt off, Marcus used it as a tourniquette around his leg before putting his jacket back on.
"That should keep till I reach my Bike."
He said to himself before straightening out.
"Have to admit, I'm not too sure where we go from here. I half expected to be a bloody mess on the ground with you walking off into the sunset all lone ranger like."

"Well, I think it's a little late for the sunset. But I can still walk off."
He said with a small laugh.
"You know, we could use people like you. I just took a Barker stronghold and I plan to keep pushing back at him. I got a score to settle with him."

"You, me and everyone else in the world."
He replied with a shrug.
"Sorry to break you're heart though, but I already signed up with the Crows. I have a soft spot for the underdog. Kind of used to be one in fact. But last I checked, the Dragons and crows are allies so I have a feeling we'll be fighting side by side sometime in the near future."

"For now."
He laughed. He was expecting that when Barker was dealt with everyone would turn on each other. It would be a land grab as everyone tried to fill the void that Barker would leave.
"Hate to bruise your ego as well, but I got two apprentices. So my heart is not exactly broken. If you want to be with the underdogs that is your business."
To each their own.

Somehow Marcus was sure his ego would survive.
Besides, he wasen't too bothered by Mathews implications, As far as he was concerned nothing mattered besides taking down Barker and anything past that well........ he would cross that bridge when he got to it.
"So it isn't just Leon who does it huh?"
Marcus said in responce to Mathews comment about apprentices.
"So who's the lucky shmucks?"

"Leon's Nephew is one of them. And a homeless girl I caught scamming him is the other."
He said with a laugh.
"They both have potential in different ways, but I am only going to sponsor one of them to be a possible Dragon. Haven't decided which one yet."

"Leon's Neph-? OH! You mean Rai? Oh jesus, scammed by a homeless girl? Well I don't envy them, I don't expect thier paths to be easy ones at ALL. Ya know, I wanted to be a Dragon myself once upon a time actualy. Even had a name picked out and everything, the 'Obsidian Dragon'."
Marcus trailed off, alittle embaressed to be admitting this.
"It's just....I just always figured I wasn't ready. Then after I left the states to travel well......It all just got kicked to the wayside to be honest. ANYWAY, Enough of that. Well heres hoping your choice wont be too hard. Sucks that only one of them can become a Dragon though."

"Well, technically you are not supposed to pick your own name it's the one that sponsors you that picks the name. At least with the classic Dragons."
He pointed out.
"As for if you are ready, it's a hard path. And I don't know if you are or not. Or if you even want to do it. But if you do, you are always welcome to come to Dragon territory and request to be tested. Though it does take a unanimous vote to be admitted."
Anyone was welcome to try as far as he was concerned. Competition bred excellence. And every Dragon had their own goals and agendas anyways.
"Though, I suppose if you didn't have a sponsor you could come up with your own title."
He added in on second thought.

"Oh Really now?"
Marcus asked, intrigued as he almost greedily chewed over all this new information. Becomming a Dragon was Marcus' life goal back in 552. Following in the footsteps of Leon, Mathew and Linda, the Lighting, Earth and Bone dragons respectively.
Either way, even if he still wanted to follow his old dream, he was a Crow now. You just couldn't be a Dragon AND a Crow.
Or could you?
"When you said you captured a Barker stronghold, I have to admit you made it sound like you're working on you're own. Aren't you backed up by the other dragons?"

"Ha."
That depended what he meant.
"I brought some of the peons and my apprentices. I also called in the Gods to fight too. Though it was a cake walk. I think it was overkill bringing in so many people under my banner. But whatever. Just means we didn't suffer a single serious injury."
Because you know, they were all BAMFs.

Marcus thought for a moment. He would have to carefully word this one.
"I see, I see. Gods huh? Yeah I remember you saying something about being Ares? Is that another gang? Can you do that? Be a Dragon and still be in another Orginization?"
