David smiled. Good for him, assuming Davids plan off the bat. At least this boss of his didn't stick with the unintelligent.
"Solid plan. Get comfortable. Me and...Zeke can venture together."

- "Of course." Arden seated himself again, stretching a little. He didn't know how long this would take, or if he'd actually be leaving, but he didn't want to give them any more reason not to trust the group.
- Zeke, however uncomfortable, would escort David (though it wasn't much of an escort, considering David could likely take on 100 Zekes) to Takehiro. "They've got Arden. Blaze is willing to meet you. Get your ass here, damn it." Fortunately, Takehiro would not be far outside Dragon territory, seated at a bench.

David would follow, and notice the man seated at the bench.
"Hello. What might your name be?"

- Takehiro stood to meet David, Zeke retreating to the bench behind his boss. He just felt safer. "Amakusa Takehiro. Were this meeting under different circumstances, I would say it's a pleasure," he extended his hand as well, though he meant no disrespect. "I apologize to you, and all your men, for what I have done to Mr. Yuy."
- Might as well get that off his chest.

David smiled, almost...too kindly. And did not take Takehiros hand.
"Mr. Amakusa. Tell me why I shouldn't break your back, and toss your body at the feet of my bedridden commander."

- Takehiro smiled in kind, taking no disrespect at his rejected handshake. He could understand it, of course.
- "I can give you no good reason, Mr. Blaze. There was a conflict of interests, and Mr. Yuy would not stand down, though it was my fault he acted as he did to begin with. Were you to strike me here and now, I would not contest your decision. I would fight you back, as I have things I must see through myself, but should you do so and succeed, I would have no qualms." He spoke surprisingly honestly. Well, maybe surprisingly if you had no clue who that man was. Truth be told, he would own up to his actions and the consequences.

David studied this mans face...then shook his head. Turning away, he removed his jacket, setting it off to the side. he removed his Elder colors and put his jacket back on over his body armor. He looked over at Zeke.
"You should go."
He turned back to Amakusa.
"Without due cause, I cannot abide an attack on my men, done under very...dubious circumstances. I love my men as brothers. All of them. I have no choice but to take account of your actions. When this fight is over...then perhaps you and I can talk about who, exactly, you are and what you want."

- "Oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck - Arden! Tak's fucking fighting the guy!" Zeke quickly got to his feet and ran off, making Arden aware of the situation. Not like there was much he could do, but he didn't want his friend to be uninformed.
- Takehiro removed his own jacket, setting it on the bench he was previously seated on. "I understand." Arden and Zeke were family to him just like Jimseung was. His numbers were fewer than David's, but that didn't change the feeling behind it. His knuckles cracked underneath his gauntlets, and he limbered up a little. If he had to fight, he was going to. But, he did not strike first.

David waved the man forward almost lazily.
"Come on then. Just try to hurt me."

- Takehiro smiled, simply walking forward, but not striking yet. "That would be a little backward, wouldn't it?" He didn't want to fight. He would stop within striking distance of the Dragon, and if he made no move within the next few seconds, he would do as was asked of him: his right fist would rush toward in a jab toward David's face.

David did nothing, just staring up at the man.
He took the blow to the face, taking a step back and cracking his neck after. The man hit hard. But not that hard. His power level was just under five thousand...significant, but David wasn't scared or intimidated. He let out a breath.
"Good. That hurt. Make this worth it to me."
David threw a punch- but he was obviously too far away, right?
Out of the end of his fist, a big fist of hair shot, showing only a kind of "heat wave" in the air on its way to Amakusas chest. It was not held back, and David did not seem intimidated by whom he was facing. Just resigned.

- Takehiro cocked a brow as David took the punch. Not many people took a jab from him to the face and just shrugged it off. But then, he couldn't be a Dragon Elder for nothing. So, when he struck, Takehiro's arms crossed his chest, taking the brunt of the blow, and he slid back about a foot. Seemed this was his Qi... it hurt pretty bad, worse than what he used to, and he could feel his arms stinging. But maybe it wouldn't be too bad.
- Right after the blow connected, Takehiro began a rush toward David, aiming to grip both of his target's shoulders to keep him from retreating. From there, his right knee would be sent to smash into David's solar plexus, to knock the air out of him.

As Takehiro burst forward, David was able to easily keep track of him with his eyes. But this armor plate kept him from reacting quick enough. He knew that... its where his current weakness was. So he didn't bother trying to react. Takehiros hands took his shoulders- and Davids hands would slam down on top of Taks forearms, gripping him. The knee hit his solar plexus...
From behind Tak, a stone pillar would shoot up, aiming to slam into Taks lower back.

- "Boss! Behind you!" The warning came a little too late. Takehiro was able to move forward just a little, but the pillar still connected. He gritted his teeth and pulled through it, going in for a head-butt. Immediately after, Takehiro's Shock Gloves would activate, sending an electric pulse through David's body, starting from his arms.
- An area of the wind behind David would begin to cycle as if in a vortex continually, and the ground beneath it would begin to glow.
[OoC: Basic actions: Head-butt! Shock gloves activated: 80 damage as long as Takehiro is holding David. 0/1 uses left.

David grunted as his enemys knee hit. He had tightened his abs, minimizing the pain...but it still hurt. The headbutt though? That could cause some serious damage. So, he just looked up and grinned, unable to laugh after the headbutt connected. Davids chest seemed to glow...and his left hand would tighten. He would use his right hand to slap his hand to his chest...causing the armor clasps to unhook and fall to the ground, along with the gloves on his hands.
David would use his tenacious left-handedgrip on Tak's arm, and with his right would aim a punch directly for Tak's sternum, aiming to shatter it.
OOC: Armor removed, Storm Dragon gloves removed. Blow to the head nulled and STR of enemy allocated. New stats:
Str: 87 + 2 from gloves + 80 from Tak + 40 from removal of Armor = 209
Dex: 89 + 40 from armor = 139
Con: 104
Wis: 115
Int: 87
Cha: 133 + 3 from gloves = 136
Stats will change only on next punch.
