And pull the heat from David's body he would. Absorbing the residual heat put out by David, an outline of David's entire body taking shape in his mind, as he went in for the clinch behind Kazuya's head, he would find both of Kazuya's arms blocking his own, stopping David's arms from clinching the back of his head. One arm swiftly moving out from under one of David's arm to block the knee strikes, or rather, knee taps, he was gotten to the point that he could react to David's slow strikes with ease.
Time to up the speed of his strikes.

David would stop and hold out his hands to his sides.
"Nice. I think we're ready for a trial run. A real trial run."
David flipped the clasp on his waist, a little pop signalling at his shoulders as weights fell from his torso, wrists and legs. He cracked his neck before he would launch forward with an attempted right uppercut for Kazuyas chin.

"I couldn't have said it better myself."While David undid his full-body weights, Kazuya would reach down and pulling his pant legs up, would pull off his own ankle weights, letting them drop to the ground, leaving craters at the area of impact. Feeling much lighter and in a sense, faster, Kazuya would immediately begin to pull the heat from David once more, an outline of his entire body taking shape in Kazuya's mind yet again. "Seeing" David launch forward, Kazuya would easily evade the right uppercut by stepping to his left while simultaneously increasing the temperature of the flames surrounding him, to such a degree that even Mitsuki, who was sitting far off to the side, away from the fight, would feel the heat hitting her like a brick wall. Putting some distance between the two of them, he would take up a simple stance and lifting his left hand up, would make the universal "bring it" gesture at David.

Mitsuki, standing off behind David, was indeed in Kazs' line of heat. David would draw his sword, however, and as the Qi heat would blast outward, a lance of air would spike from the hilt and up the blade, splitting the self proclaimed fire-dragons energy down the middle, so Mitsuki would be reliably safe and unaffected from Kazuyas bout of flame-induced taunting. David would tilt his head to the side, a frown working onto his lips as Kaz gestured for him to "bring it". David would deftly re-sheath his blade and crack his neck. Launching himself forward, he wrapped his body and the surrounding area in hot air- his own body may still have less heat, but David would simply cover his body in warmth to mask the "signal". Once done, he would juke right then leap to the left to attempt a right cross for Kazuyas left cheek. |

When David and Kazuya took their weights off, Mitsuki knew better than to keep Skye on the ground. She whistled commands for him to jump atop the car before having him rest his head on her lap...but the second she felt the temperature significantly increase, she clutched onto her companion and waited for a blast- waited, because she wanted a better gauge of how strong the force would be, and try to match it with the force of air (if she was even 'strong' enough to do so). Though, thankfully, David deflected the wall of heat so that it would never reach them...though the precautions definitely weren't unnecessary. With the two going all out, she sort of expected to be caught in the crossfire even if it was unintentional.
And so the spectating continued.

With David's body and the surrounding area wrapped in hot air, though it had been made difficult for Kazuya to pull heat from David's body, as he would invariably be pulling heat from the hot air he had wrapped himself in, it was not impossible to detect David. Listening carefully for the subtle sounds of David's movement, as the right cross came for his cheek after David had juke to the right and then leaped to the left, he would move his head to the right, timing the turn with the strike, resulting in the cross grazing his cheek.
It had hurt, but not as badly as if he had taken the strike full force. With a general idea of David's position at this point, he would form a fireball in his left hand and funnel the fireball towards David's chest, aiming to permeate his wind defense and shove the fire blast at his chest.

Kazuya was fast- but David wasn't too shabby himself in the speed department, and his eyes were easily able to keep track of the miniscule movements Kazuya was making. Still, he didn't block the attack for his chest- he wanted it. Kazuya probably wouldn't notice, but the air around them would die out completely, and the fire in Kazs' hand would smash into his chest. David would grunt from the impact, but the pain was nothing he couldn't handle. In fact, due to his many recent fights, rigorous training and the many things he wore, David could shrug off the blow without an issue.
Kazuya, however, was making a mistake. Trying to utilize his impressive power and speed to make strikes into Davids guard, Kazuya was keeping the game at a strict, hand to hand exchange, and Davids technical skill in a match of close combat was, in his own opinion (and in the opinion of everyone whom he has beaten) was unrivaled. Couple that with his sheer strength...?
As the palm strike would hit, Davids right hand would snatch up to grab Kazuyas left elbow, and without his eyes, Kaz probably wouldn't see that David wasn't dodging or countering, as the Elder Dragon didn't move his feet and therefore would make little to no sound. Assuming his grasp on Kazuyas left elbow worked, Davids own left arm would throw a debilitating straight punch. Unlike the jab or other testing punches, this short range blow was considered a "power punch" in most martial circles, and would be loaded to land right into Kazuyas sternum.
Couple the power of the blow with Davids grip on his arm, and one of two things may happen to Kazuya. One, Kazuya attempts a dodge which, at this range and positioning, would probably dislocate his left arm at the least, or even tear muscles in his shoulder. If Kazuya took the blow, the sheer force would probably crack the mans sternum, and that might be even more harrowing in the long wrong.
This all, of course, being Davids conjecture as he attempts to strike.

Though it was true that without his sight, Kazuya was unable to hear or see that David wasn't dodging or countering, by causing the hot air wrapping his body to die down, David had given Kazuya exactly what he needed to "see" his movements. His left elbow would end up grabbed by David's right hand, though it was a double-edged sword, as he would severely burn his hand. One, there was not hot or cold air surrounding his body, and two, the flames surrounding Kazuya's body were at an intensely high temperature, so unless David re-enveloped himself in air, which would only serve to fan the flames, he could only hold on for so long.
As the left punch came for Kazuya's sternum, having pulled heat from David's body and formed an image in his mind the moment the hot air had died down, Kazuya would do neither of the above listed options. Instead, his right hand would shoot out, David's fist smacking into the palm of his hand, sending a shock wave of pain running up his right arm, but he had effectively stopped David from cracking his sternum, which would've caused far more damage.
He would immediately fire a stream of flames from his open right hand straight at David's left hand, to try and engulf David's entire arm and burn him. Though his left elbow was still in David's grip, with his left hand pointed at David's chest, he would fire a stream of flames from his hand point blank at David, aiming not to push him back, but to try and severely burn his upper body as much as possible.

Her eyes flashed silver. Kazuya may or may not have 'noticed' her energy levels spiking up as her Qi was activated, but...long story short, her pupils were locked on Kazuya's figure, her body lightly twitching at...a change. Skye perked up on her lap and stared up at her, but all of her attention was on the blind man. Copying...because just seconds before, there was an instant deletion. Woooooohooooo.

And now, David grinned.
He wasn't burned. In fact, his hand felt quite cool. One thing Kaz would notice as his hand caught Davids, was a strange, thin layer of almost moving skin under his hand. At the elbow, another thin current moved. Davids body seemed coated in something*, and at the new proximity, it gave him wonderful options.
David would , now in both hands, lash out with his Qi as Kaz planned his full body burn. From both of his hands an concussive force** would blast out like a grenade- Kazuyas elbow would probably be flayed of skin, as Davids hand was not in a fist and therefore the power not compounded. However, in Kazuyas other hand was Davids full formed fist, so the blast would be to full effect, and would blow both of them away. Except, unlike David, Kazuya was unlikely to shield himself, as he did not control the air as David did.
OOC: Skills used:
*NEW SKILL SHOWN: Armor of the Sky (Level 5 Ability)
- The Armor of the sky is a thin layer of air, super-imposed like a vacuum to the skin of the person it is used on. Its armor is a volatile protector against Qi-related abilities, and cannot be penetrated by Qi unless the attackers CHA is greater than the user. After a defense against Qi during one post, the Sky Armor dissipates, and cannot be used again for three posts. This Armor does not protect against physical damage or objects.
** Pressure Grenade (LEVEL 2 ABILITY)
This is a small amount of pressure sucked into a fist and blasted outward with enough force to knock those within three feet unconscious unless their constitution is higher than Davids charisma. Regardless of whether they are put out cold or not, the explosion can still cause damage with a force equal to the users Charisma, and blow the person away.

As Kazuya was wearing a long sleeved shirt, his elbow would not end up flayed, thankfully, and he did notice the thin layer something moving along David's skin... until he was blown away that is. He was unable to shield himself, but as he fought to keep himself conscious, he would muster up all his strength and flip in mid-air, now facing the ground, and pointing both hands at the ground, would fire streams of fire from his hands, using the sheer strength as propulsion and propelled himself through the air. Landing in a crouched position with his right hand on the ground as he slid across the ground, his head bowed, the one thing David would notice was Kazuya's head was bowed, his eyes hidden in shadows. As soon as he straightened up, his arms held loosely by his sides, and lifted his head up, it was apparent why. His entire face, save for his left eye, was hidden in shadows. It was clear Kazuya was no longer in control anymore. "... Ynycrenoi, E, Gynoi, femm cruf oui zicd ruf tacdnildeja vena lyh pa...

David frowned As Kazuya came back, speaking Dragon-tongue. He would respond simply.
"Nekrd. Yht drec sayhc fryd, vun uin vekrd?"
He assumed that, whatever was happening, Kaz meant that this could harm them both significantly. David wasn't sure he liked the idea- not because he feared Kazuya- quite the opposite. More he feared what he would do to him. Kaz, regardless of stature, was his friend, and he did not wish to harm him in the ways that he knew how.
But he would listen, and decide.

"... Ed sayhc, oui ryja uhmo caah dra deb uv dra elapank uv dra buccepemedeac vena lyh pa syhebimydat ehdu."
Karyu was no fool. He had observed David's capabilities throughout the trial run, not to mention detected the sudden uptake in Mitsuki's Qi levels, and Arashiryu's skills in close combat were second to none. However, Kazuya was not the only one that benefited from learning to track his opponent through their heat signature, Karyu had watched and learned, and should Kazuya ever end up unconscious, the dragon spirit could take over and continue to fight.

David tilted his head to the left a little. This was....new.
"E ryja hu tuipd dryd dryd ec dra lyca. Hajan ryja E cikkacdat udranfeca- E nacbald Gywioy, yht rec ypemedeac. Yht E fuimt muja du caa fryd oui kud, pudr eh ouin ypemedo du vekrd yht feamt Xe.

David would ease his posture and begin picking up his gear.
"Dra dnyehehk femm aht huf, ihdem Gyw ec nayto uhla suna. Ed'c paah...ehdnekiehk saadehk oui."

"... Dryd desa femm lusa cuuhan dryh oui drehg, Ynycrenoi. Yht frah ed tuac, E femm cruf oui zicd ruf vayncusa vena lyh pa, yht cydecvo ouin lineucedo."
Karyu easing his position up, Kazuya's visible left eye continuing to watch David intensely as he gathered his gear up, he would nod slightly. In the past, Kazuya's fights with David did not last very long, as the Storm Dragon had out-classed the self-proclaimed Fire Dragon, and that was when Kazuya still had his sight. This time had been different however, not just because Kazuya had lost over half his vision, but he had grown stronger from all his training. The next time he and David met, he would be even more stronger. Karyu would see to that.
"... Megafeca. Fa femm saad ykyeh, Ynycrenoi. Yht dra haqd desa fa tu, Gywioy femm pa vimmo luhcleuic yht ypma du upcanja."
Although it was not apparent, Kazuya had some form of control over switching between himself and Karyu, but as the only time it occurred, was in the most dire of situations, he never had a reason to freely give control to Karyu. At the very least, he was completely aware of the dragon spirit dwelling within him. Walking over to Kazuya's ankle weights, Karyu would pick them up and clasp them back on, and once David was gone, Karyu would return control back to Kazuya, his body immediately crumpling to the ground.
At least he was in Dragon Territory, so he was relatively safe until he regained consciousness, not to mention Mitsuki was nearby as well, though it would take him a while...
