WARNINGS: Violence


You've heard of it somewhere...


Maybe it was by accident. Or maybe it's because subconsciously, you were looking for it. Maybe you just like your knuckles bloody and yeah, you have powers, but you just want a fight without depending on them. A fight that's just you and someone else and fists and body, the intimate sort of fight, one that gets your muscles pumping and your sweat thick. ImPort or not, you can still get that urge, and you can't always take advantage of it in this world. Saving people, running them down, it's catch and release to authorities most times. Even spars you set up with other imPorts usually involve powers in some way, you can't just go rough for the fun of it. Akihiko knows it. Feels it. He's got super strength and while it does a hell of a lot it seems like it still hinders him from really enjoying the feel of his muscles tightening.

He's goes for a fight, he doesn't mind pulling punches against nonImPorts, he will, he'll just focus on his boxing technique, on the rough tumble of it all. But sometimes? He can really go all out. Sometimes he can even let some of that super strength ripple through his arms and send it full force to another imPort that's found the same venue he has. Maurtia Falls was shit some people say, no where to be, no where to live, but it had things going for it.

Seems like lately too, more people are finding out about this fighting ring. Underground, an area there loud with pipes and hard to get to unless you know the right building and where it's basement doors are,a nd even then that changes every few months. There's a hall after it, a long one, and you can start to hear and feel the rumble of a crowd as you get deeper until you're looking at a rather thick armed man at the door. He'll give you a look, a- 'are you a cop looking for trouble look', and if you're not? Welcome.

Welcome to the smell of old water, sweat, blood, and money. Welcome to a place riddled in bets and tears, screaming and echoing as fans cheer and curse at fighters slamming eachother in and down inside a wide metal bar contained arena. It's one on one, and while some fights are scheduled, those aren't till the end of the night, the prime events. Until then? It's open for anyone willing to go in. Always one on one though, and the doors are managed by a few people.

No powers preferred they'll say, don't fuck up the arena, just fuck up your opponent. They want a mess and they want it bloody, they want to give the crowd a reason to keep coming and betting they're cash. And they want a reason to get through their day jobs, if only to enjoy that one night every few weeks to watch two people wreck eachother.

And good news, ImPorts? You always get to fight before anyone else, especially if it's imPort v imPort. For some reason the people of this world really like to see imPorts mess eachother up. Wonder why that is?

OOC: Feel free to make open top levels as much as you'd like and date them or not. It's a free for all. Any questions? Just PM Akihiko's journal and I'll do my best to answer.

Moses has felt week these past few months. The last fight wasn't good enough to keep him alive. And although he's sure that he'd get yelled at by most of the people he knows if they knew he came here, he's not going to back down. He's dropped his spears off at the outside of the arena, and kicked off his sandals.

There's something about this kind of a fight. It gets his blood boiling, sends chills down his spine. It's like the crowd is craving the action, and Moses is nothing if not a showman.

And man, he'll give them a show.

He cricks his neck hard, licking his lips as the sweat rolls down his face. His outfit hasn't changed since he arrived, but all the jewelery is off it, and back at home... in case anyone got any ideas. Moses is a lean man, but anyone could tell you that appearances meant nothing.

The proof is in the action.

"Yeah I did." He cracked his fist. He stood six feet tall, and while he wasn't the biggest guy, he certainly looked down at Akihiko.

"After all, looks like you'll need more than yer own."

The countdown began.

1.

The bell went off and the crowd went up as Moses moved in, pulling his arm back to slam an elbow towards him.

Not all of us have magical healing ability, Akihiko. Moses has to go home after this and deal with the consequences of getting the shit kicked out of him. You know, if he did. Which he won't. Because he wasn't going to let anyone take him down. He rocked back and forth on his feet before they go.

"Hah! You say that now!" He doesn't get to taunt Akihiko much more than that as they're fighting now, but rest assured he wants to give him a good smack down. Although he missed Akihiko on the first hit, he wouldn't miss him on the second!

That was the thought at least.

Too bad Akihiko slammed into him first. He groaned as it hit him and he had to stumble back after it. Rubbing his face away, he slams himself down to the ground and kicks out hard towards Akihiko's leg, swinging to the side to knock him down.

A fight was a good way to find a new friend, Moses thought. After all, a fight is no words, so there are no lies. They can cheat, they can play dirty, or they can play fair. And that speaks more than any discussion could.

Even as Akihiko jumps for a dodging maneuver, there's still a massive smile on his face. He can't be mad, that was a good hop, and he's excited to see what else Akihiko holds. Because of his positioning, the shove gets him to the ground and he gets underneath that knee.

But those punches don't connect. Moses grab's the first one, followed by the second one and starts to push them back, fingers digging in. He had no recourse for a second attack at all, but he started to push Akihiko back, grunting the entire time and trying to get him to fall off of him now. His legs braced himself as he moved to try and get his body upright.

Explanations were fine but nothing beat a damn good smackdown. And it's felt all though his body even now as he's trying to back Akihiko off. Everyone in the crowd is screaming for blood and for some actual fighting. Moses grins. "Y... y'know... maybe I should be nice and let ya punch me." The problem with being on the ground like this was was there wasn't a ton of exit points.

...Well there was one.

Moses only had a moment to act on it. He quickly shoved that fist away, the one with his right hand gripped around it. He pulled it away rather quickly and reached towards Akihiko's legged, gripping onto the back of it before pulling with a hard grip, digging fingers into the skin to pull him off. Growling as he tried to stand up again.

"Y'hold me down again like that and I'll make sure you can't." It wasn't angry. Frustration, sure, but definitely no anger. He looked towards him and buckled down with his fists. "Let's go!"
