(OOC: For convenience's sake, I'm using everyone's names even though Akane hasn't met them yet.) Despite her best efforts, it seemed that Akane had been noticed by just about every person in the room. She sighed, and continued to adjust her gloves as she watched the battle unfold. First rule of brawls: first one in usually is the first one out. She seemed to be rather at a disadvantage. Nero, the self-styled Combo Tyrant, was rather good at that. The bird, Nova, did not seem particularly dangerous; Lilly seemed strong, but she hadn't seen her abilities in action just yet. Fran, however, seemed to be one of those dirty fighters, much despised in any MMA tournament. Akane was good at such tricks, yes, but she disliked those techniques nonetheless. It was both unfair to herself and to her opponent. Well, I've got a rather vague preliminary assessment. Not to be left out, she moved into the centre of the brawl. Counting on Nero to occupy Nova, she moved to eliminate the only person in the match who had similar experience to her: Fran. Holding up a close, defensive stance to avoid any sudden attacks, she approached the duo. Once she was in combat range, she stuck out with a pair of basic thrust attacks, testing her opponent's reflexes, and trying to goad her into a riposte-type attack. If she did receive that attack, she would proceed to trap the arm or leg and strike its pressure points, weakening or paralysing it. She could only hope that Lilly would join her and not Fran.

Fran was surprised at his quick evasion, but not that much. His attack on Nova was interesting: he was the kind of guy who removed what he considered to be the lesser threats first in order to focus on the other threats. She also did not care anything about official rules since she was there to learn, not win trophies. She did not even bother responding to him as she knew better then to be distracted in a fight, and not to break rhythm or breathing. When the new girl came in and came after her Fran saw it for what it was: an attempt to remove someone strategically. There was no other reason to target someone specific in the brawl. Her stance told Fran something else, she knew street fighting. Probably why she targeted Fran. Well, the first rule about fighting multiple opponents at once was: you don't. Instead of responding to the lure of an apparent opening, Fran instead backed away to the side a bit, putting the new girl slightly between her and other one she was fighting. This would mean the new girl had to watch both sides and the other one would not be able to easily reach Fran. Edited by Corruption, Jul 19 2016, 02:26 PM.

Lilly expected Nero to fall right into her trap, waiting for the next blow that never came as she watched him leap away from Fran's sneak attack. Guy had moves, she'd give him that, but she had other things to focus on at the moment when Nova had taken his place in the lunge at her. She raised her fists in preparation when Nova's swing went wide, forcing one of her eyebrows up in confusion before the tail came into the equation. She managed to block the strike that pushed her back a few inches when she saw Nova preparing another lunge with her claws. She grit her teeth as she cocked a fist back and gathered energy for a blast, throwing out a punch that launched a repelling gout of fire before she hopped back to rethink her options. Everyone was fighting tricky, she felt like the black sheep with her straightforward tactics, which was kinda confusing... A grin eventually formed on her face as she watched everyone gather around each other, the new girl included as she reached down and gripped the handle to one of the large training mats. "Oi, Nero! I never said anything about official settings or rules! This brawl is to practice using your fists anywhere, anywhen, and anyhow!" Saying that, she began to spin herself around and drag the mat, momentum building as she raised it out into the air like a giant flyswatter about to sweep all of them away! |

Nova was caught by surprise, taking the kick to the face and rolling back from the hit. "Hihihi...", wait, why was she chuckling?! Oh, God, please tell me... "You hit me...", Nova gave an eerie smirk as she pushed herself to her knees. Once she stood up, she spread her wings with a wide smirk. "And it felt so good! HURT ME MORE!"... This couldn't end well. Her target, of course, was Nero. She had a wicked excitement, a rush of adrenaline into her veins. Nova has never felt so alive, this was clear! In her ecstasy, she would forget to hold back, going for punches and kicks and clawing and tail strikes without a second thought. "Hurt me more! Hit me hard! Make me feel ALIVE AGAIN! HAHAHAHA!", Nova was laughing mad. |

Ooookay... this was getting strange faster than he expected. You know when you expect a good fight you imagine like a stand still with your opponent spouting words of rivalry and heated pumped up actions on the values of life where each drop of sweat is conjoined by the clash of fists where no words needed be spoken A pure testament of skill and fighting prowess but yeah... he wasn't feeling this one. Nova certainly was though and um it was certainly interesting to see. Needless to say the reaction totally hit him out of nowhere and when she continued on trying to strike him, more of her hits connected than they probably should. It also didn't help Lilly was in no way helping his case if all bets were off in that no rules were being used. Small scrapes from Nova's claws led a good amount of damage but something Nero's expression changed. At the moment, all he had tried after getting some recollection of his reality was to dodge, but after a while his eyes began to change from fearful and confused to heated and determined. Inside of him, his soul was speaking to his body telling him the one thing even he knew. "I ACCEPT YOUR CHALLENGE!!!" He roared to match Nova's own pace. The idiot has taken this change of events as a challenge and you wouldn't see this guy backing down. "YOUR BODY SHALL SERVE AS TESTAMENT TO THE PAIN YOU"RE ABOUT TO ENDURE!" His eyes now changed, they were determined before but now they were burning, burning so bright that he was going to sweep this girl and show her what he was made of! All that came next was an almost DBZ-style exchange of blows and flurries because if there was one thing he wouldn't let happen. It was being shown up! He'd managed up to ten exchanges before taking a step back and then rushing back in but right now everything was reactionary. Get ready Nova, you'll soon know why fighting him was never an easy punchup! |

So, the five-person brawl had broken up into a 1v1 and a three-person free-for-all. Things were really heating up, and despite the disadvantage Akane faced, she was getting more and more excited. It wasn't just about the possibility of winning; it was also about the possibility of learning new skills from her fellows. But for now, it was best to focus on her immediate opponents. Sadly for her, Fran did not fall for her bait, and instead continued to manoeuvre to get a better position. Akane did not want to make the first strike; for the first strike often gives little advantage. Well, neither of them would get anything done without attacking, and so Fran would probably venture something soon enough. But they did not have time for that. Lilly seemed rather interested on taking both of them out of the match, for she picked up the rather heavy training mat and swung it at the duo. A hit would throw them quite some distance, and could possibly sprain an ankle. Sure, it wouldn't hurt Akane, but it would slow her down. So she had to evade and attack. But attacking Lilly would leave her rear open to a second attack by Fran. On the other hand, evading the move and playing defensively would not, in the long run, succeed. In any battle of attrition, her opponents all had the upper hand, with superior strength and endurance. So, she had to strike. With a quick step forward, she performed a split, flattening her body against the floorboards and letting the mat pass over her. With a slight jump, she returned to her feet, but with a significant change in position: she was now almost stepping into Lilly, in the zone she had left exposed in her sweeping attack. Seizing the moment, she struck with a series of jabs at her opponent's torso, aiming to weaken her arms, and finishing with a turning kick to the ribcage and a leap to the side. That way, she would not be caught off guard by Fran. |

Fran smiled as she leaned back when the mat was used and was other girl just did the splits. She would have rushed into the opening, but their positions place the other girl between them and that girl taking the opening instead, so she waited a bit. While the other girl was focusing on Lily, Fran waited, and frowned at Nova's reaction to pain. . . . That could lead to problems for everyone latter. When the new girl did her turning kick, Fran knew what came next. Hit one foe and move to watch both. Instead of staying there, Fran would use the opening to try to rush past her back, punching her in a kidney as she passed the new girl, and do a roll as she passed Lilly, trying to knock her legs out. |

Lilly clicked her tongue in annoyance as Nova and Nero had brought each other out of the range of her attack in their own scuffle, but she didn't relent and kept her swing going for the other two when the new girl had dipped under the mat. Her eyes widened as she saw how open she made herself and let go of the mat to send it flying away with it's momentum and brought her arms in front of her in a late attempt to protect herself as Akane rushed her. It was a surprising rush, she took a few light blows and a solid strike or two before she felt a leg in her side and skidded back a few feet. No real damage, but it was more a blow to her pride than her body that she let it happen so easily. She really needed to pick herself back up after moving here... She growled as she pounded a fist into her palm. "Alright, now I'm getting heated up..." She declared, cracking her knuckles one by one with small puffs of fire every pop. She grounded herself and cocked her fist back, looking as if to throw a heavy swing at the empty air between her, Akane, and Fran before her arm was completely shrouded in flames. She smirked before she shot her arm forward. "Burning Shotgun!" ![]() A gout of flame spread from her fist and roared out in a furious, raging blast forward, aimed straight between Fran and Akane and right at where Nero and Nova were coming together for another clash.

The fight between Nova and Nero raged on, both consumed by an unnatural excitement, holding back nothing. She was not caring about getting hurt so badly, she loved this feeling, it made her feel so alive! "COME, BRING MORE OF THIS ECSTASY TO ME!!!! BRING ME TO LIFE!!!", her eyes were that of a mad being, however... Fire. It entered her peripheral vision, reminding her of something else. Not only that, but the punishment she had endured weakened her a lot... And since she was coming to another clash with Nero, she saw herself having to make a choice. It was a flicker of flame, a second, the memory that ignited in her mind snapped her from the trance, a beat of her wings, and she tackled Nero away, to take the fire upon herself. The burning pain made her feel alive, the warmth reminded her of her family, and the light reminded her of- FWOOSH!! The flames suddenly grew a lot more to consume a larger shape, of a demonic firebird, horned, with a thick dragon-like tail. The beast screeched, the burning and healing taking place at the same time. Harm and healing conflicting for dominance, though soon the external flame faded, and the internal lived. This warmth coming from her was... Inviting... Tempting... And the beast then cast a glare at Lilly. Oh shit, this cant be- "Sorry, didn't expect this to happen. I will try not to get a little excited again.", the beast sighed, proving to be conscious of what has happened. |

This chick was something else, Nero just couldn't wrap his head around this. Every blow weakened her and yet she wanted more and as a result of all this feelings of unease he was just making his attacks even weaker, while Nova was off trying her best. Cuts and bruises appeared over several parts of his body now as most of her softer swipes connected leaving him "WHAT!? Could the man say anything else as he got tackled to the side and then Nova went off to incinerate herself. Well, Nero could pull stunts like that too if the situation called for it, but c'mon he didn't see the point until well after she had transformed looking all the better for it. As for him, the flame was still heading his way but he was pretty resistant to most flame attacks due to his ability being fire based, so he took a daring risk to one up the flaming bird. Nova had graciously given him the 10 hits he required and so he put himself on the ground almost in a sprinter's position when starting a race and looked at Lilly's flame with the eyes of a man gone mad as they enraptured him and this was all he asked. Using the flame as a camoflauge, he began to emit a flame himself from inside himself. "TAKE THIS!" He yelled with all his might as the ground itself exploded sending all his land-locked combatants sky high smack dab into the ceiling with incredible force. Unless they were somehow close to the exits, had incredible high jumping skills or had gravity powers, they weren't escaping this one. As an added bonus, all the objects that Lilly had meticulously put around to train would go up in the air as well, possibly damaging even Nova as they went sky high towards her. The only things safe from defying gravity would probably be any object bolted down to the floor. That said, the sand from Lilly's punctured sand bag would go off in the air as well and would potentially blind anyone who didn't close their eyes. He would have loved to follow it up with his infamous aerial combos, but enduring an attack like what Lilly had just put upon him wasn't exactly something he could just ignore. His entire body ached and while his clothes were thanfully fire-resistant as well, his flesh still seared from the attack and he retreated slightly to cool down while the others plunged back towards the ground. Oh and don't worry about the floorboards or anything, they weren't destroyed or charred. Edited by Milanor, Aug 5 2016, 01:12 PM.

She completed her attacks, finishing comfortably with the turning kick through Lilly's ribs. Or, one should say, too comfortably. She had intended to retreat immediately to avoid Fran, but that part of the plan had failed: Fran rushed past her, striking her squarely in the kidneys. Fortunately, she threw no more attacks that way, instead returning her attention to Lilly. That's going to hurt a lot. Akane ignored the pain. Years of experience in getting hit meant that it was almost a reflex action, an instinctive response. In a combat scenario, spending time reacting to pain would only get you killed. Much easier to forcibly survive the immediate threats, and suffer double the pain later. Leaping away from the pair nonetheless, she took a second to steady herself. "Burning Shotgun!" Damn. She jumped desperately to one side, rolling to soften her impact with the floor, and coming back to her feet some good five meters away. The flames had cut her off from Fran, and now surrounded both Nero and Nova. This was worrying. If the flames killed them both, she'd be partially responsible. "Um... Maybe we should..." Ok, I take that back. Why do they ALL have FIRE ABILITIES?! Neither of them seemed particularly discomfited by the attack, though Nero looked slightly burnt. Rather, they seemed only to be much more dangerous. While Nova turned into a bird (a rather scary demonic bird, so no joke), Nero decided that the time was ripe for a little noise. The explosion he triggered caught Akane off guard, throwing her brutally into the ceiling, and then back down to the floor. The latter was not so damaging, however, as she managed to brace herself. She was not entirely unscathed, however. The various blows hurt, sure, but they could be ignored. What was more concerning was the burns on her arms. Further blows would injure the muscle, and that would certainly slow her down. |

Fran was surprised at how fast they went from normal fighting to using powers! Seriously, they had told her off about dirty tricks, but all hers were just normal fighting moves! As she was thrown into the air, she relied on past experiance with other explosions, and braced her body. The light was bright even behind her goggles, but it let her see the stuff being thrown around, and sand didn't blind her. Guess Nero would be blinded as well. She kept track of how far she was thrown, and was lucky not to hit anything solid when she landed in a roll! It was near the lockers. Few of them would be in any position to fight due to disorientation. She called out "You idiot! That could have killed someone! Me, more specifically! Almost got brained by the lockers!" |

Lilly grunted as her blast left her devoid of stamina for an instant, recoiling her fist as she watched Akane and Fran dodge her attack while Nova took it head on. She bit her lip as she watched the flames dance and Nova transformed, after that sudden burst of craziness earlier, she was worried if this form would be more... Nevermind, she seemed sane again, which was good since things were definitely getting a little overboard there...Yep! Things were definitely getting out of hand! Nero's explosive burst threw her into the air like a ragdoll and she cursed, trying to right herself in her flight before she crashed into a wall and slid down into what felt like a chair with no seat. She couldn't tell, there was too much sand flying everywhere! "Time out! Time out!" She shouted as she tried to pull herself out of the hole she was in with her eyes closed from the sandstorm. "Someone do something *cough* about this sand! Open a door or *hack* turn on a fan or something!" Boy would she be embarrassed to find that when the sand is gone, everyone would see her stuck in one of the basketball hoops high up off the gym floor... |

The explosion comically sent her off the floor with a most deadpan expression. A human being with that deadpan expression is kind of funny, but a bird?! This just got comical! And when she fell down, she lay there, on her back, as the weights fell all around her, breaking some feathers on her wings but none struck her directly. Nova huffed low. "Well, that was something new...", rolling from side to side, she propped herself on her feet, still as a big bird with demonic features... "As you say, Lilly! I just need to attend to a business first.", and thus she paced toward Nero. It was mildly frightening, her approach. Otherwise, her eyes were not hostile and the warmth was so inviting. "Sorry for that, Nero.", she lay down next to him, wrapping him with a wing. The fire from her feathers did what was quite a surprise: They only spread over the wounded areas, healing them. "You should have told me you were hurt instead of blowing us all up in the air, you know... Ah, anybody hurt, please come closer. My feathers will heal you." |

With a heavy panting and unclear vision, Nero stayed where he was trying to recapture some sense of orientation. His burns stung but it wasn't anything out this world as he himself had caused similar burns when he had first learned how to control his own set of abilities. Thanfully, Nova was kind enough to heal him and at the words of Lilly, he sighed a longer pant "No, I must apologize to all of you especially the newcomer, and thank you Nova. This is why I said we should set rules in our training. Things can get out of hand fast." He said while being covered in Nova's wings. A nice feeling of being covered in a healing embrace enveloped him, but that wasn't where his focus stood on. Brief visions of his time in his youth perfecting his abilities made him remind himself all to clearly why he had his two scars on his cheek. He however wasn't going to tell them that particular story as they had all come to the same conclusion of stopping for a moment and Lilly calling for a time to call out an official break. Gladder he could not be and once his wounds were at least healed well enough for him to not feel too much of a strain on them, he'd do Lilly a favor and using some of the training equipment and carry her down from her embarassing situation. "I'll take care of cleaning up for now, for what it was worth, it was one hell of a fight." Nero's signature great smile came across yet again as if he was back on his feet, ready again to take on the world. It was hard in times like this to keep yourself happy when situations could easily bring you down, but not this guy. "Oh yes, I also forgot to tell. The Photography Club needs a group picture of our first meeting. Are you all up for one?" Obviously bruised and slightly aching didn't make for the greatest picture but it does show the chaos that can envelop when people go off fighting with their greatest potential. It would also be pretty cool when the time comes to show that they weren't slacking around. Edited by Milanor, Aug 21 2016, 12:34 AM.

"Ah, anybody hurt, please come closer. My feathers will heal you." Finally, it's over. Time to get some rest. She pushed herself to her feet, and managed to stumble into the giant bird's wings. Ah... That feels much better. She finally lowered her guard, counting on the peculiar healing flames to mend her wounds. It was strange, all right, seeing fire heal burns. But at least the nausea from Fran's punches was gone now. "Well, I don't feel like throwing up now. You people fight like your lives depend on it. Not that it's a bad thing." Despite all the healing, her body still ached as she stood up. Introductions were still needed, for she knew none of them and they didn't know her either. "I'm Akane, Akane Shimizu. I'm sorry for being late, and missing the introductions, so could you repeat them?" Hearing Nero's proposal for the photo shoot, she scratched her head. "Well, we are the MMA club. I guess our current states are fitting." She then dusted herself off. "Oh, no. I've got so much sand in my clothes, my hair, everything." Who broke that sandbag? |

Fran held out her hand to Akane. "I'm Fran, but most call me Shade. I don't know about them, but yeah, I can't afford to get into the habit of not fighting like my life depends on it." Looking at Lilly and Nero "Going for powers so soon and before you knew the others would not be in danger of being killed? There is a difference between being rough and carelessly endangering people's live." Nodding to Nova, "Nova, I'll like to talk to your latter, ok? I've seen people react like you did." After Nova's response she'd go over and try to find her weapons again. Edited by Corruption, Aug 26 2016, 03:55 PM.

Lilly sneezed on sand clouds in her perch above the floor until the storm settled and Nero helped her out, squawking indignantly in surprise. "H-Hey! Be careful of where you're touching!" She ordered as she rubbed her eyes clear of dust and was set back on her feet. She looked about the gymnasium to take in the scene of madness, all the training equipment thrown about like a bomb had gone off, (honestly, one kinda did...) sand sprinkling the floor, everyone recovering from bruises and burns... "...Heh...Hahahaha! Oh man, I'm sorry, I know everyone, I brought things over the top, but...pffhahahaha! That was the most fun I've had in awhile!" Lilly laughed for a time longer as she wiped her face. "I get a little overeager sometimes, one of the quirks of being a mercenary. How about I buy everyone something to eat in town after this as an apology?" She turned back to Nero as he relayed the message from the photography club and hummed in thought, looking from the gym to her club members to herself. "Well, I have no problem with a picture, but we're still missing our club advisor..." |

"Photography? I'm in for it. Though I wonder which form I should be using.", Nova could either show as a mascot in her Demon Suzaku form, or as the fighter in her demon form, or as her more child-like disguise. It would be a tough choice to make, however... "Oh, I'm Nova Kae-de Suzaku. As you see, child of the Vermilion Bird himself. Though what you saw me do... Fran and I will need to see some people about it and discuss. That creeped me more than anything I've seen until today." Nova shot a brief, nervous glance at Fran, she knew they had to talk with someone about it, this is a frightening development for her. Then the offer of eats... "I ACCEEEEEEPT!", she spread her wings with so much excitement that some feathers flew out, harmlessly landing all over the place until their flame faded away. |

After the dust clears and everything is back to normal, is rather hard noticing you were just fighting women in this entire ordeal. Heck, Nero felt really self-conscious when Lilly told him to be careful, but like a gentleman, he didn't touch anything inappropriate although he can't say he didn't enjoy the moment of carrying her. However, as he moved downwards and put her down safely, he answered her "Don't fret, the club photo is separate to this one. We'll find her for an official front picture later on." he said in a rather calm way. Afterwards he went outside and quickly came back with what appeared to be a camera on a stand. Posturing in an area where all their inevitable destruction could be visible, he smiled back at the group. "I'm sure this will leave a message for those seeking to get stronger. A clear message that states 'Join us for everyday is a blast'." After this, he took a glance at the others and pressed the timer on camera and saying a few words. "Maybe, but I don't go straight for the low angle blow in either case." He said as he tiltled his head towards Fran. Man, who know the man could sass too, but hey going for the groin ain't exactly fair play so he wasn't that unjustified. He didn't mean any ill will by it as he was smugly grinning, but rules do exist for a reason. "Now gather, the photo will start in five!" Positioning himself to the leftmost side of the five, he crossed his arms and let out a grin to be perfectly encaptured in the photo. Bravado and boldness represented as his entire image was shown in the picture. As for the others, he was not sure, but the right now, this was the first event in a series to come for the birth of the MMA Club. "You can go ahead, I'll sort this room out and join in later. Just inform me of where you will be and I'll try my best to reach there" And so he started to clean but surprisingly in a very fast in particular manner that if given a half-hour or less, he'd probably be completely finished.
