A student body that would lead students and enforce the law on this little school of ours. Little is still known about this student body, but who knows? It might just be what the school needs.

A lunch box is seen last Friday, around 12:37:08pm with an encouraging note packed inside. This appalling display that utterly lacked manliness has left many students stunned and outrage, as some decided, after a long while, to speak out against it.

Allen's heart was pounding. He stared into Macht's eye, not caring about knuckles. However, when he stated his reasons.....his fists clenched. He would like to slap the look off the monsters face. Instead, he stepped back, allowing Leon to take over. He leaned against the wall and, in an act that he knew some might see as entirely out of character for him and against a small voice inside him that said to break his foot off in Macht's ass....he stayed silent.
In the end....this was on Phoebe, not him. If his sister wanted to go...she would go.
Just like Aaron did.

Valo's brow rose as he listened in. This was all for two members of LG? There wasn't some kind of major, underlying reason? Macht wasn't the kind of person to dance around what he wanted. When he wanted something, he cut to the chase. But why did he want them?
"Right... Macht's the least likely guy to do that..." Valo said under his breath at Leon's accusation. For now, he would continue to listen in. Macht's challenge was a bold one, and LG had a lot to gain if they managed to beat him down. But after their fight on the roof, Valo knew Macht would not go down easy... if at all. If this is all it was going to be over, Valo saw no reason for Hyperion to have to intervene. No, Apex wasn't a concern yet. But if it came to a fight, he planned to see for any signs of weakness in Macht's fighting style. He wanted to know how that dark energy exploded from him.

Click. Step. Click. Step.
Every move Tobias made as he moved toward the rumored area of conflict. Keeping one's ear to rumors and what others said around him helped him find the area. It was filled with individuals that either were there to fight, represent their groups, or watch the results of this meeting. He was here for a couple of purposes himself. One of which was to gather information on those here and another could be to scout potential pieces in the grand scheme that could be played in the city.
He was an individual by natural more than some and never did seem to mesh well with groups on more than a temporary basis. Pulling out his lock picks, Tobias messed around with the locks till they clicked into place and unlocked. Climbing up the stairs inside the building took him a bit longer than normal and by the time he reached the top of the building he walked into, Tobias was covered in sweat. Using the same skills that got him into the building, he picked the lock on the door to the roof and walked out into the night air to watch the conflict.
Time to see what all the fuss was about. The mercenary was going to wait and watch. His time for action wasn't coming for a bit, though he was willing to bet that any information gathered here would expedite his plans later on.

The slight black haired girl approached the group silently as she yawned loudly. Her yawn was loud and disruptive as she stretched. Her black eyes shifted to look about who was there. This looked... fun. To be honest, this was her first time meeting most of them since joining the Lightning Gang. Looks like her little old introduction would be a lot more exciting than she had initially planned for it. Beautiful. Ken grinned widely as the redhead spoke out- saying he wanted two broads or something. Her brow cocked curiously as she stuck her hands in her pocket and looked between both groups.
When Leon spoke, Ken gave a soft chuckle. Yep, their brave fool hardy leader was certainly blowing hot air out of his ass right now. She stretched as the guys continued to talk, looking up with a bored expression. As Leon and the other dude addressed the girls who were picked, Ken grinned while looking towards them.
”Oi, make your call. Are we gonna get ta' have a tussle with the hot ginger pirate or nawt?” she asked, her Australian accent thick before her eyes looked towards Macht as she eyed him... Well the lower half of him.

It didn't take long for Macht to kick things off once they'd all assembled. Bee felt her stomach churn over on itself nervously. She had, of course, put two and two together when the challenge was initially issued. Make a move on Titans, Apex makes a move on LG. She bristled internally, but it wasn't enough to take away her nerves, as Macht said he didn't give a damn as long as they didn't turn into Riot version two. Riot. Riot?! Something he...no...they needed? What?
Bee worked her jaw a little as he looked around, his gaze passing over her and seeming to go about along the rest of the crowd, as though he was searching for something, or maybe someone, or he was just sizing up the strength of the Lightning Gang. Green eyes snapped from looking at Austin in question back to Macht as he said her name and one other. Free to inquire after?
...join Apex's ranks if LG lost...
The nervous churning began to shift and solidify into a hard lump in the pit of her stomach.
She tasted bile in her mouth and took a deep breath, her eyes flaring a little brighter. But...she wasn't stupid. Apex was offering a lot at stake just for them joining? What farce was this? Her eyes flickered back to Austin, questioning again, then to Leon as he spoke, his hand clamped against Allen's shoulder.
"And I know, from experience, what they do with the women they get."
It was audible, but not cast out so everyone could hear. It was mostly for the ring of the people here. Bee stepped up beside Aaron, proud that Allen hadn't exploded or said anything further as Aaron voiced his opinion and reaffirmed Leon's words that it was essentially her choice if she wanted to go or wanted to stay. The clasp to her shoulder made her take a deep breath...and fasten her eyes upon Macht. They twitched, however, at the accented voice that piped up...but Bee saved her ire for the person that was calling it out.
That hard lump burst to flame inside her.
"I am not something," She began, the emphasis upon that word stark and bold as day, ringing with a hollow boom as she flexed and clenched her hands, her knuckles creaking a little with the strain of restraint. "You didn't bother to ask me what I thought of it, Macht, let alone attempt acknowledging me as a person before, aside from a tiny nod. The only ones that asked me, so far, have been my leader and my brothers."
Allen's silence actually spoke volumes. Instead of blowing his stack, his top, he hung back and let her speak. It was certainly out of character with how he'd been recently, but she knew him.
Emerald eyes flashed, and they might well have been fire as she stood, square and straight-backed. She didn't raise her voice, but her tone certainly said how much of an impression Macht had left on her.
"As Aaron said, you could have simply asked. So, right now you're leaving a largely bad impression on me, trying to use me and Ira - where-ever she happens to be in our group - as some type of prize bargaining chip in this poker game you're playing at. So I'm gonna flat-out say it: I don't respect you. I can't follow you if you're going to treat me like a thing, like my loyalty can be traded off on a whim because you need something and you're strong enough, cocky enough, to think I'd just fall in line and have no problems with it. The truth is, is you're not the one that gives a damn about me. You want Ira, apparently, another woman that you referred to as a thing. Now, I can guess it's Austin who would like to see me in Apex..."
Her eyes shifted to Knuckles himself and softened just enough to show a bit of the sting she felt. She wasn't angry with him, but, she didn't understand why her friend had agreed with it to begin with.
"Austin, who I consider a very close friend...and a friend that I expect better from. I don't take it that these are your words, as well..." She shook her head; she really hoped they weren't. "...but I think the only reason my name is mentioned is because Macht wants Ira. And in fact he said that, more or less, when he said he called this forth himself. I'm collateral? ...heh..."
Disappointing. And just another red tick against Macht. He had decent tactics, if underhanded...and really poor execution.
She sighed and looked at Austin, and would ask him directly: "Austin...I know Apex is important to you, but what are your thoughts and how do you feel about joining LG?"

Paige would walk over to knuckles and give a small yawn before looking over at the lighting gang she was gonna fight these people some of them where her friends but not anymore she was loyal to knuckles and his gang no one else. "Eh who do you want me to go for?"Paige would whisper to Knuckles so no one else could hear.

Austin would continue to glance around at all the different faces. Some he knew, others he didn't. However his attention was drawn to Macht as he spoke. His words surprised Austin as much as they had others. While he had discussed a few things with Macht before hand, he had not know how Macht intended to propose the situation.
He remained silent as others spoke. Leon followed by Aaron. Knuckles was surprised Allen hadn't thrown his two cents in, instead opting to move to a wall and lean. As Austin listened and watched the scene unfolding, he would shift weight on his feet and sweep his hands over that dirty blond hair of his.
Those hazel hues slowly drifting toward Phoebe. She was clearly upset at the way Macht had presented the rules of engagement. However he felt that maybe they misunderstood his intentions. But he doubted he could change their perceptions about him now.
Phoebe was someone Austin thought about a lot. However he rarely spoke about her to anyone. Maybe that was just him trying to keep himself safe, To keep others from using her as a weakness against him. On top of it, he had yet to actually tell her how he felt. However Phoebe soon addressed him directly, his eyes moving to meet hers.
Shiit, she put me right on the spot..
"I've never once thought of you as a thing.. Not at all. You are- Uhh, Important to me. I feel like I can keep you safe."
This is.. REALLY freakin' awkward.
Knuckles would glance over toward Macht and then look toward the rest of Apex before closing his eyes for a moment and turning back to face Phoebe. When he reopened them, he would answer her final question.
"Apex does mean a lot to me. My father built it and I was meant to keep it going strong. It is who I am.. However, I'm willing to drop the Apex colors and join the Lightning Gang- If you agree to the same, Phoebe.."
After he spoke he turned and moved to stand along Macht, before turning to stare at the rest of LG.
"But I can't allow you to fight alone. I will fight by your side, Brother. If we loose, we go together. The rest of Apex will stand down."

feel the light shining in the dark of the night | Wow, that was a lot of chit chat. Al stood by the corner, leaning at the lamp post. People started showing up, making the area a bit more crowded. Al raised his brow when Macht stated the way things would work. He got closer to Allen who leaned on the wall near him. "Damn, all this fighting just for two girls? Why does he want them so badly?" He asked not knowing why the two girls would be any importance. "Or is he just a thirsty mothafucka?"

Cedric gritted his teeth out of frustration towards towards Macht. Mach't spoke about brotherhood but put himself into a idiotic fight talking about getting absorbed into them , though he couldn't get too mad at that for the simple reason Macht put in a out for everyone but himself after all he said "Should I lose, I, and any member of the Apex Warriors who will agree to the terms - set by either myself or you - will join the Lightning Gang" not apex will join the LG. Perhaps more to the point he honestly didn't exactly respect Macht very much yet, he joined under knuckles not Macht' a man he barely knew. And in addition to this Cedric saw this deal as depriving him of his very reason for living, without fighting everything was just boring, and these days even a regular fight did little to banish that so Cedric was desperately looking forward to the big fight that was supposed to happen here and now that seemed to be quite possibly suddenly taken from him. So after a couple moments he spoke in a angered but level tone "Fuck that deal, I for one am not going to serve under some asshole who doesn't even know who I am without at least getting to fight the man " making sure to shoot a glare at Leon to indicate who exactly he meant. He then turned to Macht simply shaking his head before taking a few steps back taking position behind Austin to make his allegiance clear and in a quite tone said "But with all that being said, Knuckles I'll follow your judgment here even if I think it's absolutely ridiculous.

Ira stared and leaned forward in her seat with avid anticipation, her eyes gleaming as Phoebe proceeded to verbally lacerate Macht for his comments. Trying her absolute best to suppress her Cheshire grin, she clamped her hands over her mouth firmly, determined to reigned herself in from many too much noises. But she couldn't resist.
The suns, the moons and the revolving planets were staring accusingly down at her very being, magnifying drastically in size, and peering upon her future actions in an extremely disappointed manner.
"BURN." She screamed, standing up and blowing her cover miserably.
Good job, Ira. Good job.

gotta go fastah fastah yah that's cool mate
Ken let out a low whistle as the brown haired girl completely and utterly dressed down the offer the two had given to them. Brown haired girl was right, this was all a little bit dramatic for these two guys just wanting the girls in the gang. Her eyes shifted over everyone silently as she thought in silence. Normally, Ken would try to find a way to mess with the situation and make everyone a little bothered- something fun, but her eyes looked over the red head and his friends. They didn't look like the type of blokes who'd enjoy being messed with.
When the hot redhead's, Macht as she now knew it, friend came up, her brow cocked. This must be Austin. She closed her eyes and let out a sigh of air. How fucking awkward were these people? This was incredibly painful and overall stupid. When the white haired guy spoke, her eyes shifted to look at him. She was curious of that herself... Did the two guys actually just have huge crushes on the girls or something? When Ira screamed out burn, Ken let out a loud snort of a laugh. ”PFT! Damn straight it was! Never met ya' girls before, but that was a proper dressing down!”
Ken would then shift her glance towards Macht and Knuckles. ”So, ya' both care for the girls, each in a different way 'ight? So you want them on your team to protect them 'nd shit, 'ight? But the only way to protect them is to beat the shit out of them so they join your gang? Ya' see why this logic is kind of fucking stupid?”

[Ooc: Spectating]
--- Word travels fast especially when one keeps their ears to the ground. Even faster when the shadows and information trade are one's best friends. When they are intimately intertwined with one another. Wonderland thrived on that. The Hatter specifically had many channels of information flowing in especially through her little 'birds'. Speaking of said birds there was one perched on a wiring in the alleyway above this little gathering that was going on. A pigeon to be exact. Looked like any other bird until closer inspection found it's eyes to actually be camera's. It's high end microphone hidden within able to pick up the smallest of sounds from below. As it watched the viewer and owner sat comfortably within the confines of one of Wonderland's area's. The Hatter eyed the screen nonchalantly listening to the ongoing's.
--- In truth the entire thing made her chuckle. This had seemed to be going on a bit often as of late. First that Titan group was challenged with no leader present and now the challengers of that were on the receiving end. Another bird, a sparrow, would casually swoop down onto the shoulder of a particular individual sitting on a rooftop. The sparrow had been falling about being the secondary scout and that person had caught The Hatter's eye. Considering that horrid gang summit Hatter bore witness to she had noted there was one group aside from Wonderland that seemed to go with theatrics of some kind when it come to outfits. Hyperion. Maybe that was one of them she figured in a quick deduction. With the sparrow upon his shoulder if he had not swatted it away her voice would emerge from the bird. Sounding as it did that day. Though it was altered it was not distorted or robotic in sound and came off as a regular tone to anyone. For all anyone knew that was her voice.
"Enjoying the view? Hyperion I suppose?"
--- There would be a pause to allow him to speak however despite his words, The Hatters will continue onward.
"There is so much hypocrisy in this group. I've made that note since that pointless meeting. I've heard about and witnessed the confrontation between this Lightning Gang and the Titans. Again pointless. Nothing really accomplished and just the hypocrisy moved from that boy Shugo's lips to the leader of this merry little Lightning group... Ego's and pride are interesting things - Oh well now that girl has some spunk on her huh."
--- She paused picking up on what the brunette she concluded was Phoebe spoke up about. Hatter would applaud her if she could. What hypocrisy was she speaking about anyways? Uncaring like she spoke one more time through the bird. Just like in the meeting never announcing again who she represented or a name to call her by. Well outside of when she first walked in back in the subway tunnel.
"What are your thoughts on this all? Do you think the timing for this considering what you all met for is correct? Not that I or we care what you all do to each other. Tickle me curious. What's you're standing and when do you think you'll be next?"

| been a long time
{ "Knuckles" } { words ### } { one post per round please }
At the long-winded speech and slight outbursts from both sides, Macht couldn't help but sigh. He pegged several members of LG for arrogance, but ignorance was actually one he did not expect. At least, not from Leon, a man who seemed to be so sagacious but months ago. So far, it seemed he'd done a 180 as far as accusations go. Like Sarah, and so many others, who pegged him as guilty by association with parties he'd had no hand in the dealings of.
"You can argue the semantics of it as much as you want. Neither of you are things, no, but the desire between Knuckles and myself to see the two of you within the safety of more capable hands, that most certainly is." He shrugged, not feeling the need to elaborate upon that. To take the word choice without total understanding and attempt to flip it on him, not once, but twice, meant that his breath would be wasted. "I don't know where you get off accusing me of ever wanting to hand anyone to RIOT. I despise them as much as the next guy. Hell, I personally took the life of one of their elite. And if you're alluding to my brother, it's simply because his intentions remain a mystery to you, but I can assure you: If I wanted to hand them to RIOT, we wouldn't be having this discussion. I would have taken the two of them without adequate resistance."
He glanced at Knuckles, then Cedric, implying that he wanted him to keep his man in line, before his eye fell upon Ira. So she was there. Well, that only made him want to fight even harder than he had before. His focus intensified to the point where Akeno's words didn't really register with him.
"You ask why I would issue this challenge, instead of bringing the offer to the table with your members outright? It's simple. I mean to show you you cannot protect them from what is to come. None of you. You may have numbers. You may have a bond, that makes you believe you can fight harder than anyone else. But when push comes to shove, your incompetence, your ignorance, and your inability to listen to logic or reason from any outside source will be your undoing. We simply don't wish for those we care about to be put in the cross-hairs you attract."
He figured that point was now made clear.
"And what better way to show you you cannot protect them, than to take down your standing army with just the two of us?"

Post by Felix Booker on Oct 24, 2015 12:43:52 GMT -5
Felix felt strangely relieved, as Hex and Allen showed up. He couldn't stop himself from grinning, Macht was surely in trouble now. Felix obviously wasn't the one for negotiations, so he stepped back letting Allen handle the talking (which probably wasn't a good idea either to be honest). But before that, even after everything he had said, the School Captain kept a level head, even offering his hand out to shake. Felix took it, raising a questioning eyebrow. "Nothin' personal right?" He felt a little embarrassed, he had run over there, what if his palms were sweaty?
And just like that the rest of LG rolled in like the bad asses they were, along with a face he hadn't seen before. 'We have Australians?' Even Aaron looked slightly, kinda, maybe cool as he drove up in his busted ass jalopy. He simply listened as negotiations went on, attempting to glean off as much information as he could. Only speaking out when Macht said he wanted Phoebe and Ira. Felix's ears rang in disbelief, as he immediately opened his mouth to protest. Even if his opinion didn't matter and probably wouldn't be heard, he still responded on reflex.
"No. Nope. No! Hell no! You're just jealous because we have cuter members! GET YOUR OWN!" He scowled. Macht was willing to tear apart their gang, just for two girls, however awesome they were, he was literally threatening to tear apart Felix's new family. Felix was starting to regret shaking the guys' hand. "Can't you guys just like visit each other on weekends; y'know like normal couples do?"
