Okay so this was getting annoying. Street fight on the roof. So original.

NOT!

A little roll of her eyes as she made her way to the roof, Carmine behind her, as she tried to figure out what she was going to do for dinner tonight. "I am thinking that I want to make pizza but not sure if we have everything. Remind me to stop by the store on the way home."

The man giving a little nod before she would extend her hand back over her shoulder. "Who is this kid challenging the Cypren kid?" The paper handed to her and giving her a pause in her steps, the large man behind her coming to a stop as well. "How do you even say this name?"

"I am not sure."

She would tilt her head slightly. Trying to pronounce it out in her head. "At.....sushi? Like going out for sushi? Ew.." Her nose wrinkling slightly. "Sounds like a food chain to me. A rather low end one at that. Pull up his file for me."

She would then progress the rest of the way to the roof. If anything she thought that this challenge was a bit, well, stupid. One, it was boring and two, it was that boy...Michael, that was being challenged. She knew damn well that he was picked on almost every single day, so to her, this was just a show of some kid coming in and trying to make big by getting a title from the weakest one of the pillars. Gah, kids these days and their short cuts to making names for themselves. Pathetic.

Over her shoulder came a tablet, the new guys file pulled up as she would take it, pushing open the door to the roof, fully expecting both boys to be there by now. A soft laugh rolling past her lips. "Oh look Carmine, this one fancies himself crazy. Well this might not be as boring as I had thought."

Shaking her head as she handed the tablet back to Carmine and would look over the two boys. "Street fight...on the roof...." Not even trying to hide her complete and utter bemusement at the concept and how truly off it was.

"Rules are simple. Best.....man wins....A glance at both competitors....Umm, yeah...No killing. You do that, I kill you. Got it? Good because I don't repeat myself."

A wave of her hand to tell them to go ahead and start before she would move to take a seat on one of the ledges with Carmine standing beside her, interested to see how this was going to play out.

[Nakamura Atsushi]

Atsushi would appear in almost no time at all, without his bandana. Wouldn't want anyone to know he'd been causing any trouble, now, would he? He simply made his way to the roof and found a comfortable spot to sit and stare out at the sky until his opponent would show up.

[orange]"Rovery weatha we are having."[/orange]

He'd look to Kevala and grin, his eyes disappearing from sight.

He was going to have fun.

Michael would be a bit casual upon arriving, normally the sort to be prudent and always on time he'd been dealing with a bit of personal affairs. With the backlash of his newspaper hitting the fan he was feeling a very guilty sense of reluctance rile within his gut reminding him all too well of the problems that came with responsability.

Appearing on the rooftop the boy would slink in through the small sliver that parted the door from the wall and made a curious inquiry within. Shifty eyes catching all those in the small space. A small woman with deadly eyes and tongue, a large hulking figure silent but scary, and a fellow he wouldn't recognize from any prior engagement presumably his opponent in this matchup. Honestly he hadn't been expecting to have to fight ever. He was dreading it even.

"Uhm... Mrs. Katashi? I..Ugh..." He'd hesitate to speak any real words, to be quite honest, she scared him. "Uhm.. Nevermind."

His hands clenched tightly over one another padding the top of his intestinal tract, just above his belt. Lanky slacks would waver as did Michael, from side to side clearly not yet in tune with his body and feeling someone misproportionate. His shirt looked to be a size to small as it choked his features off making him appear very defined but also making him look very gawky. From here Michael was uncertain how to proceed, he anticipated much like his opponent before they could be civil? Lurching forward in his gawky fashion the boy presented a hand extended outwards to the boy leaving a sizeable space between for which they'd have to cross. The distance almost uncomfortable as it was almost a guarentee that Michael had no social skills whatsoever.

[Nakamura Atsushi]

Atsushi slowly stood to his feet as soon as he saw the Pillar arrive. The guy was scrawny, and he began to wonder if he'd have more fun going with a different sort of challenge. A mental shrug as he approached the man, extending his own arm for a handshake.

He could at least pretend to be kind, while people saw his face.

[orange]"May the, how you say... bestuh man win?"[/orange]

From there he would bow his head slightly and let his arms hang at his sides. All the while, his grin had never left his face. He wanted to appear kind and gentle before the actual fight had begun.

[Michael Cypren]

Michael itched away from the other guy, he didn't deal too well with physical contact with people much less confrontation, enough to the point his last competition may have resulted in him raging on the girl Cyrana. But this was a much different sort, he didn't size up against the competition enough to the point he shivered in his boots. Reaching into his pocket he found a little gift given to him by Kevala at their last interaction. A small vial.

"I ugh.. yeah."

He'd slip the cap off slowly within his pocket before snapping the tip into his upper thigh. A quick hiss of pain coming from him and a gesture of displeasure before furrowing his brows into a focused expression.

[Nakamura Atsushi]

He frowned. His kind gesture was ignored. The boy in front of him was physically weak, and that had become painfully obvious. That was something Atsushi was going to toy around with.

The moment the Japanese boy had heard that hiss of pain, he grinned once more, taking a large step forward and thrusting his right fist toward the point just above the collar bone and just below the throat. A small amount of effort to this spot, referred to as the hichu, could be seriously debilitating. Well, Atsushi was putting a relatively large amount of force behind this punch.

[Kevala Katashi]

OOC: For the record, consumables are allowed. Michael was given the C.E.P containing Chemical X at the dance event last month to which the effects would remain a mystery until he used it.

Random Dice Generator threw a 1 so you effects are as follows....::

• Description: Immediately after injecting yourself with this black liquid chemical, assuming you are brave enough to do so, you start to notice changes happening all over your body. Your muscles bulk up, you feel stronger, more sturdy and above all else, you feel........well about as intelligent as a rock. Can somebody say Hulk? Yeah, that is pretty much the idea. You are significantly stronger, there is no question about that, but on the downside you are a little dim witted and slow to catch onto things around you. You can really only think about one thing....*SMASH!!*
  
  
• Statistical Modifications: +15 EXP to all physical stats which lasts for 3 posts, - 5 to all mental stats for 3 posts (or reduction to 1 if player does not have enough to deduct 5 )
  
  
• After Effects: When this drug wears off, you come out feeling like you might just have been hit by a small bus. Every muscle in your body is aching and on fire. It feels like somebody strapped fifty pound weights to your wrists and ankles, making the mere thought of lifting your limbs taxing. Meanwhile, inside your head, things are not much better. It is pounding as the chemicals which were slowed down during the physical high are now rushing to fill your brain back to normal capacity. It hurts to move, it hurts to think and all of a sudden a swift realization of what is going on starts flooding your mind. Not to mention, you are really tired. All that work and stress put on your body makes you want to just lay down and take a nap. Bright side, you are now able to entertain complex thoughts.
  
  
• Addiction Potential: Medium - High – Though this drug has rather amazing affects, while it is active, the after affects are enough to deter most people from ever wanting to try it again. However, it still holds a potential risk of becoming addictive due to the fact that some people would much rather experience the high and suffer the consequences than to never feel that kind of power again.

[Michael Cypren]

The punch would go unblocked as Michael's attention diverted elsewhere, the seizure of pain ruffled through his body. At least at first he could feel the weight of his bones get crushed, the strong pulsating of blood flow rocket through his entire body pumping him up to another sort of level. The punch would impact his throat making Michael's words fall short his breath hasten but the muscles around his neck would buldge outwards reinforcing the airway.

"Hurrr Hurrrr..."

His body size would inflate something gargantuon feeling his upper body limp over mostly topside rolling onto his knuckles, there would be a long sort of deep throaty laughter that would sound more like labored breathing. Given the last hit it'd probably come off to the boy as such.

"SMASH!!"

Michael's right hand would lash up and backwards instantly probably catching his foe off guard given the sudden altercation of not only speed and strength not to mention the downward position he was in. The hit lashed out across the ribcage not entirely poised to cripple but more to do as said, smash.

Hit or miss however his left hand would plant into the ground with the charging of his hindlegs pressing the boy to baboon crawl at high speed across the ground to where his foe either retreated or was flung, anticipating the retreat and aiming to grope atop him. Getting there Michael would wrap the back of his knuckles against his foe's collar bone repeatedly taking into no consideration his own well being.

1/3

[Nakamura Atsushi]

Atsushi cocked a brow. He was mildly surprised, yes, that this boy had been undergoing such a change. However, given the things he'd experienced, this surprise would not be enough to drown out any logical thinking. When the now-much-larger boy lashed out with his right hand, Atsushi would block with his left arm, tucking it tightly against his ribs and flexing to absorb the brunt of the blow. This did not prevent him from being harmed, unfortunately.

After receiving the blow, Atsushi would back up a few steps, quickly devising a way to prevent being completely overtaken by the neanderthal. Once he was close enough, Atsushi would ram his fingers into the armpit of the arm used to attack, and pull on the bone to render it useless. He would, on top of this, bring in the opposite arm and slam his elbow into the man's temple.

He did not match this seemingly newfound speed, but he could see through his attacks.

[Michael Cypren]

Despite having blocked the blow, the sheer force of the attack would make the boy have to take a few steps back considering the power behind it. Michael was lost in a blind rage incapable of hindering his actions to any degree. Deep heavy breaths would follow moving inwards on the kid fingers rammed into his armpits would meet large bulky muscle's that continued inflating due to the drug. While normally sensitive and flimsy hunkering around the bone they protected Michael's bones from the boy's grasp.

The problem with his follow up would be that Atsushi couldn't feasably present his elbow up above Michael's head to elbow him in the temple whilst proceding with his initial attack. Given that he closed the distance to attempt grappling range Michael wrapped his hands around Atsushi's neck while his foe's hands would be under his arms.

Tight hands would squeeze around the boy's neck until he burst like a tomatoe.

2/3

[Nakamura Atsushi]

Considering he'd made both movements at the same time, one arm could have very easily made it above the arms rather than under. The human arm is capable of bending close enough that one's fingers could touch their shoulder blade.

Regardless, for the opponent to use both hands to choke Atsushi, he would have to extend his arms to get Atsushi's own arm out of the way. This would make both arms available for a counter, in which one would reach for his opponent's neck, and the other for the side of his head, and he would place his thumb to his eye and push. Now, Michael would have increasing pressure on both his eye and his trachea; enough to halt the breathing and soon enough to damage the neck, and enough on the eye to smash it.

[Michael Cypren]

The muscles in the jugular were bulging at this point giving his throat some decent room to breath fighting off the force his opponent applied to it. However the strike to the eye would cause Michael's neck to crane backwards before striking like a cobra to bite at his fingers probably breaking the skin no doubt not choosing to let go on his current grip. The grip on his neck would suffer less damage than his opponent's would, his strength having been massively amplified.

[ooc: I'm stepping down from this title because I'm so horrendously slow but I would like to continue this fight for plot purposes etc.]

[Nakamura Atsushi]

Atsushi had to pull his hand back from getting his fingers destroyed by a rampaging man with killer jaws. This heavily decreased his leverage, and took away his only chance of getting out of this chokehold he was now stuck, so both of his arms soon fell to his sides. He could do very little, here, especially considering he was no longer capable of breathing. He would try to fight falling unconscious for maybe a few more seconds before he blacked out.

This was unexpected... but the next time he saw the kid... he made a mental note to ensure he would never walk again.

(OOC: Edited, and once again your move was acknowledged.)

[Kevala Katashi]

Kevala would arch her brow slightly as the scrawny pillar injected himself with the C.E.P she had given him, a little nod toward Carmine as he glanced at her. He knew the drill here, pulling out his phone and capturing video of the boy's reaction to the drug and how his fighting improved. Kevala making mental notes to add to the file concerning Chemical X when she got back to her office.

Though as the fight progressed, she noted that he was a bit close to losing it....going a bit longer than she had expected him to in this state and putting a serious hurting on the other ......boy? ....Causing her to become a tiny bit irritated. Last thing she needed was that chemical causing one of her student's to commit murder.

An irritated little growl as she would reach out and grab the tazer that was strapped to Carmine's belt along side his gun. Pushing herself up to stand, she would simply stroll forward, making sure to come up behind Michael and then pressing the tazer to the back of his neck and zapping his ass. More than enough voltage held in that single zap to knock his ass to the ground and hopefully out like a light. Would make him much easier to deal with.

Should he fall, she would then step back, moving around to nudge the other kid out of the way, with her foot...in a not so gentle manner. "Carmine, go ahead and see that this one gets sent to the infirmary and then send him home. I will take care of Michael." Why? Because he wasn't going to the standard infirmary. Yeah, like she was going to send the kid who had just juiced himself up with an experimental chemical to a ward where questions could be asked...Too many questions.

Nope, she had a special place for him, at least until the side effects had worn off.

Now, had he not fallen, well this was going to be a pain in the ass. She really didn't feel like fighting the kid, at least not today.

OOC: Okay, so I know that it was said earlier in the thread that Michael had forfeited the title to Atsushi..But due to the fact that Brandon (Atsushi) has left the board, I have no real option but to go ahead and allow Michael to retain the title.

This has already been discussed with Ryan, and he agrees to keep it for now. I will leave this thread open for Michael's response, and then it will be locked and filed away.

So in short.....

WINNER & Still your Lead Editor *drum roll* ............Michael Cypren!
