Rai was looking to broaden his training spectrum to its fullest extent possible. Now since he was in Crow Territory and his Uncle Leon was busy training his apprentices, and being blind. He figured he would go to the next best person. The only surviving apprentice of Leon Sudeki... To date anyways.
Rai would send out a letter through his new connections within the Crows hoping it would find its way to Marcus. He hoped that Marcus would be able meet him at the said location. His help in Rai's training would be greatly appreciated.

"Hey Boss?"
"Nnyrgh?"
"Message for you....."
"Urgh, From who?"
"Says it's from Rai-"
"Give."
"Wha-?"
"GIVE!"
"R-r-ight Boss!"
****************************************************
Eventualy Rai would hear the trademark throaty roar of a Harley Davidson Motorcycle long before the Familier machine rounded a corner and began screaming down the road.
The location was an old park with yellowed Grass and a few tree's still left standing. Stopping in the Parking lock, Marcus secured Lady and began to trot over to Rai, favoring the young man with a friendly wave.
"Hey-oh bhatîjâ!"
Feet crunching along the gravel path, Marcus made his way over to Rai, reaching back to tie his mane of wild dark hair into a braided ponytail. One thing he liked about Cailifornia was the weather. It was always that RIGHT type of warm out. Clad in a pair of heavy duty Carpenter jeans and his ubiquitous Bomber Jacket and hat, Marcus cut an impressive figure.
Which was totaly ruined when he threw his arms around Rai and gave him an affectionate Bear hug before tousling his white hair with his hand. A sure sign that Marcus saw Rai as much as blood as he saw Leon and Spike.
Taking a step back to look the boy over, he then noticed the eyepatch.
"Whoah, whoah, what happened there Rai? Running with knives again?"
He said with a smirk, despite being VERY CONCERNED AS TO WHY A NEPHEW OF HIS WOULD SUDDENLY BE WEARING AN EYEPATCH!

Rai was still trying to catch his breath and smooth out his hair after the bear hug and hair tussle. Coughing up a chuckle to the greeting.
"Good to see you too Uncle. Ah, yes my eye. It happened bout a month ago or so, I was out on patrols and I ran into some chick that kept saying something bout an 'uncanny' resemblance then we fought, and she ripped out my eye and left... And that's after I had shot a bunch of blood through her body while she laughed at the pain... she was a really scary lady..."
Rai remembered the creepy encounter all to well and shivered.

Marcus stared in surprise for a moment before giving his head a shake.
"Jesus christ man. This chick sounds scary."
'And I wouldn't mind getting my hands on her. NOONE fucks with family!'
"Surprised I haven't heard of her before."
Marcus would then immediatly serious.
"Describe her to me. Spare no detail."

"Dressed in black from head to to, white hair, a long scarf wrapped about her neck, a trench coat, skinny jeans, steel-toed combat boots. Gaunt, pale face. Emotionless black lips. Violet eyes glaring coldly from dark-shadowed eyelids. Bony hands with long, dexterous fingers. Black claw-like fingernails, unnaturally and frighteningly long and sharp."
Rai remembered the details about her well.
"And when I am strong enough, I will hunt her down and take back my eye."

{OOC} Set after the events of two dead boys for timeline sake. {OOC}
'AAAAWWWWWWWWWWWW FFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCKKKKKK!!!!!!!!'
The man raged silently within the confines of his own mind. That was Vespyr, obviously it was Vespyr, leader of a newly discovered gang known as the Rogues.
The description was chillingly apt. Hell she gave even HIM the creepy crawlies.
Well this definatly complicated things alittle bit for more reasons than the obvious.
"Sounds like a plan, just one that's gonna be one for the long game, huh? Cause this chick sounds like some real harsh shit."
Marcus didn't have the heart to warn Rai off. Hell, he would be doing the same damn thing if their positions were switched.
"Sorry for sidetracking there man. So, what did you need?"
Other than a hope and a prayer......

"Thanks, and yes some hard work is going to be involved... Which is why I'm here."
Rai smirked.
"I want to become stronger. Strong enough to survive whatever is thrown at me, and seeing as how you currently hold the record of 'Only surviving apprentice of Leon Sudeki' you became the number one candidate."
Rai took a more serious look then.
"I need your help to become strong enough to handle her and anyone else that may come my way."

Marcus would just stare at Rai for a few minutes as if gauging what he should say next. The young man wanted to walk the same path he had then?
"Rule number one."
He would suddenly say as he pulled off his jacket and hat and began to walk over to Lady.
"NEVER fight those weaker than you. You learn nothing from it but to be weak yourself. You wanna get better? Always ALWAYS go after the big fish. They will force you to fight harder, Move faster and strike with everything you got."
He would return to Rai after depositing his coat and hat safely atop of Lady's seat
Marcus would then slip his hands into his pockets.
"Back when I was in high school I used to handicap myself when I fought those weaker than me by refusing to fight with my fists and just went with kicks. You want to be able to take everyone and anyone on? First step is to believe. Now, Prove to me you're not weak. Make me take my hands out of my pockets."
Tornado. Marcus had used this style plenty of times on people in the past and only a rare few who challenged him had been good enough to make him pull out his fists.
Would Rai's name be one in a very short list?

Rai nodded at Marcus' words, in other words. If Rai wanted to become stronger, his life had to become harder, starting now. Rai took off his training weights and got into a typical boxers like stance. It was going to take a lot to just make Marcus need his hands, much more if Rai wanted to get CLOSE to winning. Rai didn't know a lot right now but what he did know was attacking Marcus first was a bad move. Making a motion with his hand to signal is ready he prepared himself for Marcus' attack.

Rai was learning. Marcus was NOT a foe to attack head on.
"Smart. But not every enemy will wait for you. Sometimes aggression is you're only answer, especially if time is of the essence. So what am I to do?"
Suddenly Marcus would bolt forward in a zig zag pattern, pushing himself to the left and right with his powerful legs before closing in on his little nephew. He would then 'Walk' up Rai, striking down hard with each 'step' before kicking up off of the little Sudeki's collarbone and spinning round in midair before pulling his knee's up to his chest and striking down HARD into the tops of Rai's shoulders as he came back down.
If Rai was forced to the ground, Marcus would loom over him with a crooked smile.
"Be spastic. Be Unpredictable. When making the first strike, Misdirection will be you're greatest ally."

Luckily with Rai's sixth sense he had enough time to harden the blood in his body before Marcus' attack landed but Rai still went to the ground. He would nod as Marcus gave his lesson. So he is just as good with his feet off the ground as he is on the ground... Just like the younger Leon clone he had fought when he first returned to California.
Spastic. Unpredictable...
Rai would then flip onto his back and do a spin kick only in an untraditional way that looked more like he was break dancing, his feet aimed higher to kick just behind the knees instead of knocking him down by his ankles. It didn't matter if his attack landed or not as soon as Marcus' feet were off the ground Rai would pounce aiming to wrap his arms around Marcus' waist where he would then throw him to the ground and get into a position to punch at Marcus' face... if he made it that far.

'Not quite unpredictable enough. A good start though.'
If Marcus could teach the lad proper Capoiera then that kick might have landed. All Rai would have had to do was stay low, but aim high for Marcus' head. Instead his kick would catch nothing but empty air as the man leapt backwards and out of the way, landing nimbly into a crouch.
Marcus would smile as Rai went for his tackle, waiting for the last minute as the young dragon approached before flipping backwards into a moonsault kick aimed right for the underside of the young Sudeki's chin before landing once again into a crouch. The first strike should stun or knock out the boy, leaving him open to a PROPER Capoiera spin kick as Marcus, keeping his body low, spun around to plant his foot into Rai's solar plexus with a heel kick, hopefully knocking the wind out of him and sending him flying.

Rai landed hard. But he got back up a little dazed but clearing his head. Rai spit out some blood standing straight, he straightened up his body and got into the shaolin Iron Body defensive stance, hardening his body to gain a little extra defense. He needed to find an opening to exploit but getting kicked in the face was definitely not going to improve his chances of that...

"Bad Move."
Marcus would give the poor lad no breathing space and dove on him once again as Rai struggled to his feet. Planting his lead foot firmly on the ground, he would pull his free knee tight to his chest and unleash a furious salvo of straight and roundhouse kicks to the sides of Rai's Knee's, his Torso and the sides of his head.
All the while he would begin speaking one word at a time between kicks.
"You. Have. To. Stay. Mobile. Because. The. Enemy. Will. Want. To. Put. Pressure. Down. On. YOU!"
The last word was said as Marcus hopped from one foot to the other, Using his now free lead foot for a vicious axe kick that would bring the heel of his foot straight down into the top of Rai's head.
"Attack or Defend, there should BE no Middle ground. Every moment, Every SECOND you spend in a fight should be doing either one of those things. You don't have the Luxury to stop and assess or to take your sweet little time recovering from a beatdown when you're fighting someone of my caliber and above. Did SHE give you a chance to brush yourself off and check your boo boo's?"

Rai would take the onslaught of hits and right when he wouldn't be able to take anymore the foot came down towards the top of his head! Rai shifted to the left reaching up to grab Marcus' leg and spinning as fast as he could would try to use Marcus' own momentum to throw him into the ground. If this was successful and Rai didn't die he would form blood claws at the end of his finger tips and stab at Marcus' right leg trying to hit nerve clusters that would render the leg limp.
