Brother of Cain (Cain Induction)

[Mathew Amtrum]

There they were outside of the Peace Cafe in the heart of Dragon territory. Mathew had already spread the word that there would be an induction today. Already Dragons began to Gather around them forming a large circle of people to watch and oversee the fight. Mathew himself began to strip as he waited. His coat slamming the ground with a loud thud. It was weighted. Next his shirt went revealing the stone that was coiled around his body. It slid off of him like a snake before crumbling to dust on the ground.

He stepped inward in to the middle of the circle and turned to face the crowd before speaking loud and clear. His voice calm and crisp. This was something he had done many times before. He liked to be the one to do these, to get a personal feel for their soldiers. It helped him to know where he could best place them in the battlefield.

"Today we have a man before us who wishes to be your brother. He thinks he has the honor and the strength to be at your side. He thinks he is worthy to hold the name Dragon and to wield the power that we command."

He paused and licked his lips.

"I will make no judgement on him. I ask you my brethren to be the judge of this man. If one of you finds him worthy you need only speak. If he is unworthy than he shall perish here today. As is our way."

He clasped his fist to his chest before turning to face Cain. A wicked gleam in his eyes.

"Make me bleed kid. Time to impress."

[Destiny]

The other man in the circle was not nearly as well known. Cain didn't have anything as impressive to take off as Mathew, as he opted instead to simply pull his sleeves up to his elbows. There was no display of removal, or any salute to those gathered. Just a neutral stare at the Dragon, and a slight shifting of his feet.

"If you think you can win as easily a second time, you're going to have a rude awakening."

This time, however, he wouldn't start the fight.

[Mathew Amtrum]

"Oh of course I won't. There are no tricks here. Just bone and flesh."

Mathew was fine starting it then if the man wanted to see what he would do on the offensive. He was going to go with a classic for him. Tried and true. Rushing forward Mathew dived to the ground into a roll, his hands pushing on the stone ground on which they stood to lift his body up. Feet first toward his opponent into a donkey kick for the chin.

Once his body started to head back toward the ground from the kick he shifted his weight. Swinging his body around to build momentum for a full body sweep kick.

[Destiny]

There was no doubt that Mathew was faster and stronger than Cain. In fact, if it weren't for the fact Cain was watching the entire time, he would easily have been caught by the donkey kick.

He threw himself backwards, the Dragon's kick slicing across his chin and opening a cut along it. However, the lack of impact would force Mathew to continue forward with his momentum, sailing harmlessly past Cain.

Or at least, sailing harmlessly past if Cain did nothing.

In the same motion of throwing himself back to avoid the kick to his face, Cain would pull his legs up before thrusting both feet at Mathew's back, intending on sending the man sailing over him.

[Mathew Amtrum]

The man just continued to impress it seemed. No one had ever thought of that with him. The blow landed on Mathew's back, causing him to grunt in pain and surprise as he twisted his body, using some of the added momentum from the kick to add a bit of a spin to his flight.

His hands reached down to try and grab the guy and stop his flight prematurely. And on top of Cain.

[Destiny]

Cain's eyes would widen in alarm as he was grabbed, as he had learned from their last encounter just how terrible it could be grappling with someone much stronger. His hands would continue bracing himself against the ground while Cain bent his legs, attempting to absorb some of the impact of Mathew landing on him.

As long as the Dragon wasn't far heavier than him, Cain would attempt to shove him off with his legs, using his braced position to make up for his lack of comparable strength.

[Mathew Amtrum]

It was lucky for him that because of positioning Mathew's face would be near the legs and only half on Cain. Not to mention that Mathew was only twenty pounds heavier than Cain was. Cain was totally capable of pushing him off since Mathew wasn't in a good position to continue the grapple.

Before being pushed off however Mathew attempted to get a few quick shots on the man's hips and legs.

Once pushed off he rolled to get a bit of distance before picking himself up, charging from a half crouched position to attempt and shoulder bash Cain. Keep the pressure up and do what he did best. Shoulder through everything and just brute force it. It was always the most effective way for him to fight, because he had the talent for it.

[Destiny]

Cain, with his legs and hips in a good degree of pain, would only just be in the process of getting to a standing position before the Dragon slammed into him, sending him sailing backwards. Skidding across the floor, Cain would struggle to push himself up, grunting with exhertion.

He couldn't afford to take many more of those.

[Mathew Amtrum]

Rolling his shoulders back before cracking his neck on both sides he watched as Cain started to pick himself up. Moving closer as he did so to slam a knee for the man's ribs. Letting him pick himself up was asking for Cain to get an upper hand. And Cain seemed to respect power over honor. He was closer to Mathew than Leon. So he would fight in a way to appeal to that mentality. And he would kick the man while he was down.

Literally and figuratively.

[Kyrie Blaze]

A bright-eyed blonde watched this match, head tipping to the side. She was curious about this one. Her arms were settled loosely at her sides. She watched the match without a sound, but with an observant gaze.

[Destiny]

Cain had no problem with a dishonorable move, because that's exactly what he had planned on doing, himself.

Once Mathew had come close enough to throw his knee attack, Cain would immediately lunge forwards, trying to bury his shoulder into the Earth Dragon's supporting leg, right at the kneecap.

[Mathew Amtrum]

Mathew's knee was coming up, which meant his balance was not at his best and as Cain lunged in to his supporting leg it would buckle and Mathew would fall back. He once again tried to grab Cain and pull him down with him, though this time Cain would be on top of the grapple!

Once on the ground Mathew would try to pull Cain down as he moved up for a headbutt!

[Destiny]

Pulled down, Cain could only strain against the grip holding him before Mathew's forehead slammed into his mouth. causing blood to leak from his mouth. Rather than bemoan his fate, Cain would take the opportunity to spit his blood into Mathew's face, aiming for his eyes.

Should he manage to momentarily blind the Earth Dragon, Cain would throw a fist directly at Mathew's nose, trying to keep his vision blurry.

[Mathew Amtrum]

Mathew gets blood and spit in his eyes! He lets go of Cain as he moves his arm to wipe it away only to get punched in the nose! Cain would probably notice that Mathew's nose and skull was harder than a normal persons. Something he could thank the Barker experiments for. But it did indeed cause his eyes to tear up and keep him blinded.

"Grrrrrrrr."

He growled as his left hand swung blindly for Cain!

[Kyrie Blaze]

"Hold your blows![/i][/color]"

The shout cut through and over the steady stream of noise as the slender blonde ordered a halt to the fight as Mathew's hand swung. Blood had been spilled. The physical initiation was through.

She stepped forwards and crossed the distance with easy strides despite her tiny frame, watching and waiting for them to rise to their feet.[/font]
