[OoC: Kazuya Hikari, Levi Kayamei, "Knuckles", Shugo Yuy™. This battle is no holds barred, meaning players may use everything in their arsenal to win. All participants are required to post at least one time within a 48-hour period. If, at any point, a participant fails to meet this timeline (s)he will be disqualified from the round, resulting in a decreased chance of his/her team's success. Two members of the same team may not post within 12 hours of each other unless there is at least one post from the opponent's team separating them. The fight itself will have a time limit of seven days, ending at 2AM CST on February 26th. At this time, the the thread will be locked and a winner will be determined. If there is no clear winner, staff will grade the fight and vote on a winner to move on to the next round.] All teams would both be lead to an underground facility with masks over their faces to conceal the location of the facility and the identities of their teammates and opponents. As soon as the match between teams One and Three was over, teams Two and Four would be lead to two different elevators. Upon reaching them, they would be forced inside, and a beeping sound could be heard before the elevator lifted the teams to the world above. The higher they got, the louder the roar of the crowd came to be. The audience wanted a show, and these four were to provide it. After what would seem like a few minutes, the elevators would slowly come to a halt. Light shone inward through the small vents and the teams would feel a light chill creep upon them. Without warning, the elevator doors would rip open and teams would finally be free to remove their masks, at which point they would see the arena before them. A forest, it seemed, yet one inside of a large dome. No tracks ran through it so it was clear there man had not yet tainted it. The trees were green and alive, and the grass beneath their feet was muddy. About ten yards in front of either team they would see a small pond - roughly ten feet in diameter - and across the next ten, well, that's where they'd find their opponents, of course. "Iiiiin team three, we've got two stars from the last Bareknuckle Beatdown, both of these champs showed their true grit and a clear understanding of the Samurai way," Apparently, the mention of being stars in the last BB got the crowd to go wild, as team three was heralded with undeniable cheers from the get-go. "LET'S GIVE IT UP FOR LEEVIIII KAYAMEEEEIIII AND KAAAZUYAAAA HIKARIIII!" And the crowd would do just that, whooping and hollering. Cameras broadcasting the tournament even caught one woman - and her male friend - removing and twirling their shirts. "Iiiiin team four, we've got another pair of Bareknuckle Beatdown veterans, but not the way you'd expect. One loser, and one champion, this team could easily go either way - SAY HELLOOOOO TO SHUUUGOOOO YUUUUYYYYY AND KNUUUUUCKLLEEEES HUNSTMAAAAN!" A mixture of boos and cheering could be heard, as the crowd ate up Knuckles' appearance and did the exact opposite of Shugo's. "Alright you little shits, anything goes! You do what it takes to win, just make sure your pal is all well and good, and the other guys just can't get back up. IT'S TIIIIME FOR THE DEMOLITION DUUOOOOOOO!" |

Knuckles hadn't resisted the entire time. After all, he was here of his own free will. He had made it out of the Bareknuckles Beatdown with barely a scratch on him. While that was unlikely to happen this time, he felt he would still end up with the same outcome- Regardless of who his partner was. When the elevator stopped and Austin was ushered forward into the arena, he would remove his mask, his ears listening to the announcements and the crowds response. He would shift on his feet, half turning toward Shugo. "Well I'll be damned. You better hold up your end, Steelflex.. He'd snort a little before nudging him and then surveying their surroundings. His right hand fell to the hilt of Allen's sword, but he wouldn't remove it yet. He would wait for the right time. "I think you should walk straight ahead. I'll circle around and flank."Straight to the point. Shugo was just bait to him.

Sword Arm of the Wise
Power: This sword stores 1/3 his total INT for a period of up to 5 posts. Once drawn, this sword gives a boost equal to stored INT split between Strength and Dex evenly (IE: boost is +50. Str would get +25, Dex would get +25). Boost lasts for period of posts equal to number of posts unused up to 10. (Doesn't draw for 7 posts, then draws. Effect lasts for 7 posts). Once posts are completed, Strength and Dex is reduced equal to the amount boosted for each. (IE: Boost was +25 Str +25 Dex, now negative effects are -25 Str - 25 Dex). This negative effect lasts for number of posts equal to amount of posts used.

 This felt all too familiar to Kazuya. After being lead to an underground facility, a mask over his face, blocking his vision, he would be lead to an elevator, as he willingly let himself be forced into it. Just like the Bareknuckle Beatdown tournament, he joined of his own free will, but unlike the previous tournament, he was aiming to win. As the elevator rose higher and higher, the roar of the crowd grew louder and louder, and after several minutes, the elevator would come to a halt, as a light chill descended upon Kazuya. The doors of the elevator ripping open suddenly, as Kazuya would remove his mask, finally getting a look at who his partner was, he would step into the arena, which felt more like he had just walked into a Hunger Games arena.
Listening to the announcement, the sound of cheers whooping and hollering reaching his ears, while it was encouraging, he wasn't going to get complacent or cocky. He came to fight, and win. Turning to Levi, as he would crack his knuckles and roll his shoulders, the face of his fellow Japanese had been familiar to him, having recognized him from the supply drop, but now he had a name to the face. Quickly glancing around, taking in his surroundings, it would seem they would pitted against Shugo and Knuckles. This was going to be an interesting fight.
"I'll handle Shugo. You take care of Knuckles. Split up and we'll try to pincer formation them from both sides." |

Levi had actually recognized one of the people who had put the mask on him this time, but his attempt at banter had been ignored, just as every other time. These people were professionals, something Levi could respect. On the way there, he took the opportunity to do some meditation. It was harder to do while walking, but if he slowed up, they had no issues pushing him along. This continued until the growing roar of the crowd was finally enough to get him too pumped to truly focus on anything else. Still, he kept himself calm and collected, though he had a small smile on his face, showing his love for the arena.
His eyes squinted up as they finally allowed them to take their masks off. After adjusting to the light, his eyes took in the almost Naruto training grounds scene. He stifled a small chuckle and joined his partner in warming up. He had seen Kazuya fight to some degree and knew him to be a capable fighter, so he couldn't complain about his pairing too much. He nodded in response to Kazuya's plan.
"Hmm, I believe Shugo to be the weaker of the two, so I suggest we target him together at some point. Taking one out at a time makes the most sense if it can be done."
The time for talking strategy was now, since it would be difficult mid battle. As they spoke, the Photon Dragon's eyes peered at his opponents across the lake. He did not know a terrible amount about Knuckles' combat ability other than that he was very strong and likely comparable to himself if not stronger. However, he had a considerable amount of experience fighting Shugo, albeit as the Ghoul, but those memories were still clear in his mind and he would draw on that experience should he have the chance to fight Shugo.
"Until that opportunity arises, I'd say the pincer attack should work fine, let's just not separate them too much."

"Got it."
Throwing aside my mask,I took a swig of my flask before capping it and sliding it into my back pocket. As soon as I did, I charged out sprinting full force at the Levi and Kazuya. I could run in ahead and just attack both of them, or I could use the trees for cover and strike from above. I was going full force. In half a second, I had cleared the 10 meters, roughly 32 feet, by traveling at an average velocity of 88 feet per second, translating to about 60 miles an hour. I would leap forward going to cross the lake, my body beginning to slow down as I nearly made it all the way across.
As my body began to slow down, a bright burst of blue lightning would expel from my body as my brown hair once more turned navy blue and wings of blue light expelled from my back. With a gust of wind, I was propelled once more. The entire time it took me to cross the entire distance between myself, Levi, and Kazuya was less than 2 seconds to cross 30 meters. Once I reached them, I would use my wings to wrap around both fo them to pull them in closer to me, and if I could, I would grab a hold of each of them around their waist with one arm.. This was going to hurt.
STR: 60 DEX: 60 CON: 60 WIS: 60 INT: 69 SEED: Tier 1 +7 INT 1/12 SEED: Wings of Light Tier 5 Grants the users wings of pure, hardened lighting. Once per post when used, they can release and non-damaging gust that propel the user in one direction at a speed of 1 x INT. These wing are physical and can be used in other ways, they cannot be used to fly. Once per 25 INT. 1/2 X20A Freedom Greaves: Dauntless Unleashes a damage-dealing field in it's wake. Damage is equal to 150% User's INT. The user also takes 50% INT damage. The radius of the damage dealing field around the user is 1 foot per 2 int in all directions around the user. This ability must be primed a post before it can be used. IE: Post 1: Prime. Post 2: Use. 1 post per 25 INT. Priming ability. To be used Next post. |

While Shugo took off, Austin would move at a steady pace toward his left until he hit the tree line. At which point he would have taken a more cautious route. He would use the trees to more or left hide his movement as he circled around the left side. He wouldn't hold back long, but he was curious to see the outcome of Shugo's offense, before he chose to act.
So long as Knuckles chose the right time to strike, he could knock one out of the fight quickly, or at least severely injure and tip the scale in his teams favor. As he moved, his head would be cocked toward the right so that he could keep the lake and his opponents in sight.

"I concur. Keep an eye out on Knuckles. Both their movements will be unpredictable."
Quickly darting to his left, from the corner of his eye, Kazuya would make out the blurred outline of who appeared to be Shugo sprinting full force towards them, clearing the 10 yards to the small pond rather quickly, before leaping forward across the lake, as blue lightning wings would burst forth from his back, propelling him forward. As Shugo went to wrap one of his wings around him however, he would see Kazuya's eyes turn from gray to sharp orange, as beneath his clothing, his Dragon tattoo began to glow, followed by his Haunting Guise forming on his face. Both his arms and legs engulfed in fire, as he was pulled closer in towards Shugo, pulling out a small needle containing a serum, he would inject himself with the serum, before quickly capping the needle and stowing it back into his pocket.
Just as Shugo's arm wrapped around his waist, Kazuya would go for an uppercut and slam his fist straight into Shugo's chin, hoping the sheer force from his punch was enough to take Shugo out as quickly as possible. If all went well, then he and Levi could focus all their efforts on Knuckles.
(OOC: Ability items, Permanent Consumable, and Qi Technique used.
Tattoo of the Dragon of Tokyo: Once per 20 Int, the user is granted the might of a dragon. Their blood pumps rapidly through the body - allowing for higher processing power. The user is granted +40 Int while also losing -5 STR/DEX/CON/WIS during the post. When used with a Qi, this ability does not take up one of the three ability/item slots permitted per post. (1/3)
Kazuya's Stats: Str: 35 (45) | Dex: 35 (45) | Con: 35 (65) | Int: 35 (117) | Wis: 35 (65)
Haunting Guise: One post per 20 Int, Kazuya can empower one of his Qi or Item abilities by a portion of his Int depending on its type. Direct attacks/shields receive a boost equal to 3/4 Int, projectiles receive a boost equal to 1/2, and AoE abilities receive a boost equal to 1/4 his total Int. Additionally, this ability can "penetrate" the targets defenses, ignoring up to 20 Con. (1/3)
PROTOTYPE:: XV Injection (Permanent): Once per thread, the user can power up the output of one Qi or item ability to the next tier (i.e. T1 with T2 power, etc.), or lower the cost of one ability by one tier (i.e. T2 power with T1 cost). Power boost only applies to tiers one through four. Lower cost only applies to tiers two through five.
Retsuengeki (Rending Flame Attack): Kazuya is able to engulf his arms and legs in flames and deliver punches and kicks of fire, dealing damage equal to 1/2 of his total Int stat.
Cost: 1 post per 5 Intelligence (1/15)
Tl;dr: Activated Tattoo, boosting his Int by +40 while lowering his other stats by -5. Haunting Guise boosts his direct attacks by 3/4, used the Prototype:: XV Injection to increase the damage output of his fire punch from Tier 1 (1/2) to Tier 2 (3/4).
Damage output: 77 + 40 = 117 x (0.75 + 0.75) = 175.5) |

Levi watched as Shugo swiftly crossed the lake and ran straight at them. His speed was impressive, but nothing he couldn’t follow, especially given the straight path and the distance he covered. Knuckle’s retreat into the treeline did not escape his sight, but Shugo was obviously the bigger threat since it would take Knuckles longer to reach them by taking a less direct route, hopefully giving them time to deal with Shugo should the opportunity arise. Levi would follow pace with Kazuya, absorbing the trails of wasted energy as his partner clearly began to ramp up for something. He stayed to Kazuya’s left and allowed Shugo to begin wrapping his arm around his waist before making his move. Shugo would see Levi’s body shimmer briefly as his speed increased dramatically. He used this speed to plant his feet and wrap his outside arm under, up and over the arm Shugo now held him with, holding it tightly at the shoulder while at the same time, his other hand moved in a blur, reaching up and behind Shugo’s neck and grabbing it tightly just below the base of the skull to hold it in place. If successful, the instant his grip was secure, Levi’s body would shimmer again as he turned that speed into strength causing his grip tighten greatly, attempting to hold the winged man in place with an iron grip as Kazuya made his attack.
Hakkō genshiro <Luminous Reactor>: Every technique wastes energy and this technique takes advantage of that. Once per 5 int, the user may absorb 5 qi whenever an Item ability or Qi power is used. This has no effect on the ability used, but it adds 5 points to a separate pool of energy that the user may pull from at any point to power Item abilities or Qi powers. This power may not be used with points from this separate pool of power. This ability is limited to a 20 foot radius around him. This power can be used multiple times a round assuming there is more than one power to absorb from.
T1: 4/15 uses
Energy Pool: 20
YIN YANG RING: +5 Dex; A silver ring with a ying yang engraved into it. Represents balance. By manipulating the user’s body, this item can move up to 50 total stat points from any one stat to any single stat. Usable once per 15 int. 1/5 uses
LEATHER JACKET/HOODY: +5 Wis; Stylish and comfortable. One of Levi's favorites. Ability: By absorbing the ambient light into the user's body and changing its properties, this item can move up to 50 total stat points from any one stat to any single stat. Usable once per 15 int. 1/5 uses

As Kazuya and Levi's hands approached me they would be met with a wild amount of resistance as blue electricity forced it's way out of every inch of my body. Unfortunately for both of them as they forced their way to my body they would be assaulted by a field of lightning. The energy released would fight back against their hands meaning they would be feeling the damage from both the momentum of my lightning and their attacks, very likely shattering both of their hands. The rest of their bodies wouldn't be free from the lightning torture as it would continue to zap and fry them as I continued to hold them in place. The lightning singed me as it attacked everything within it's range.
Feeling Levi's hand connect with the back of my head, I allowed Kazuya to accomplish his punch to my chin. I continued to hold the two of them tightly to myself. Before they had disappeared, my wings had kept him from being able to wind his arm up too much, making the angle of his punch awkward especially due to the close proximity of our bodies. His fist had to fight through the lightning field to be able to reach my chin so by the time he reached it, the momentum of his attack had been severely cut. The punch was still a solid one, but nothing that I hadn't been able to take before. I looked Kazuya in the eye as his fist connected. My eyes seemed to pierce straight through him, as if I wasn't looking at him, but straight through him. As if he was nothing more than an obstacle to step through.
"You're the one that made me flash that day."
I referred to that weird dream that I had when this man had saved my life.

In between the trees, Austin would have kept watch at thr battle unfolding. It seemed Shugo's abilities had matured quite a lot since he had last thrown down with him. This was a good sign in Knuckles eyes. If his opponents weren't careful than this might be easier than he originally thought.
Massive leaps and bounds through the wooded area surrounding the lake, Knuckles would move around until their backsides were mostly exposed. It was there he would pause to catch his breath and prepare himself to strike from behind them and toward their right.

At the exact moment his uppercut was launched at Shugo's chin, a field of blue electricity would be released from Shugo's body at the same time, rippling through the air, as Kazuya would grit his teeth and wince in pain from beneath his Haunting Guise. Though the speed of his uppercut was slowed by the electric field, his fist would slam into Shugo's chin at full force. Electricity coursing throughout his body, his heart starting to overload, as he felt Shugo's arm release its hold on his waist and the former First Pillar crumpled to the ground, his attack had been powerful, but nothing Kazuya couldn't handle. Tiny sparks of electricity crackling around his body from the attack, his heart beginning to recover, there was no time to take a breather and relax. They may have taken Shugo out, but now the real fight began.
They had Knuckles to deal with now.
The glow from his tattoo slowly fading out as his mask would recede from his face, saving both abilities to use for later, he would reach up and pull his katana free from its sheath on his back while simultaneously turning around, before slowly backing up into a tree, in order to prevent a sneak attack on his back. Holding his katana in both hands in front of him, he would cast his gaze around, searching for the co-leader of Apex. Shugo had just been a warm-up. Now came the real test of their strength and teamwork. |

Levi grit his teeth as Shugo’s electricity protested his maneuver, and though it was certainly painful, it would not stop the coordinated efforts of their team. Heat and smoke rose from his body as he attack subsided after Kazuya’s attack devastated their opponent. Levi smiled and gave Kazuya an approving nod for a job well done, happy that he had not been the one having to deal with such an attack. He quickly refocused, knowing that Knuckles had ducked into the treeline and turned to face the wall of trees as he spoke to his partner.
“Careful, he is in there, and if I had to guess, ready to pounce.”
A sneak attack was a good idea, and if Shugo had played his cards better, he might have been able to set his teammate up with a nice opportunity. Knuckle’s strength was more than anoth to make any sneak attack devastating. For now, Levi would remain on alert, a decent distance from the treeline, eyes and ears searching.
