Heading Home (Jaxine[Requies?])

[Fudotatakai]

Fudotatakai took a deep breath before hoisting himself off the ground with his left arm, his right one still disabled for the time being. It was just recently used to finish the fight against Requies, but the cost was great. He knew that the arm would be pretty much useless for at least a day, if not more, and it would be a few days before it was back in fighting condition. He attempted to stretch the appendage, but immediately groaned out in pain, dropping the arm back down to his side with a sigh of disappointment. Requies was still sitting in the crater, trying to gather enough strength of his own to stand up. The last few words between them were brief, a simple farewell, and a comment regarding the possibility of Fudo returning in the future. Who knows, maybe the Demon of Battle would become a student of the New Crane School. Fudo also recalled the black-haired young woman who obnoxiously made her presence known before the battle started, a girl who was apparently called a 'Saiyan'. He didn't know what to make of this, and he didn't even know where the girl was now, so he didn't think anything of it. Last he checked, she was off to the kitchen, but he was too engaged in the battle to pay attention to her spectating.

Fudotatakai stepped out of the crater that was formed by the final clash of energy, paying no mind to the condition of the school's courtyard. It was a mess. Tiles were shattered, piles of dirt were strewn about, and the wall closest to where Requies was standing during the climax was pretty much done for, having caved into the hallway behind it. Various students scrambled about, giving Fudo glares behind his back while he walked away, his left hand holding onto his right shoulder as he took deep breaths to calm himself. He had enough energy to walk, but that was about all he was good for. He did have those magic 'Senzu Beans' he had found a while back, but he wanted to save those for an emergency if they did, in fact, contain magical healing properties. He felt that natural healing was the best idea for the time being, and with his thirst for battle quenched, he exited the courtyard. It was at that moment that he noticed the Saiyan girl, who was now speaking with Requies. Fudo didn't care to stick around, so he simply left without another word, stepping into a hallway that lead straight towards the front door of the Crane School.

[Requies Artog]

(Oh, I'm in this buddy! )

Requies stood up as best he could, staggering to his feet. His right arm fell limp, hurting like hell as it swung back and forth. His opponent already had gotten up and made his way out of this place. He crawled out of the crater, panting for air. This match of their's had been the most equal one Requies had in such a long while! He also felt he made a good impression in Fudo, as he got a response that sounded happy, along with a great smile. A couple of the students ran over, checking on him and making sure he was alright. Requies coughed a little, clearing his throat, and told them he was.

"That's good to hear... That freaking demon wrecked this place! That inconsiderate bas-"

"Enough of that," Requies bellowed out, "This was a match that simply got out of hand! As far as I'm concerned, and as far as you all should be concerned, he's a friend of the Crane School and, perhaps in the future, a fellow student!"

He coughed a little and spat on the ground in front of him. He felt looked over to the school itself, to see Jaxine still standing there. He waved her to come on over to where he was at the moment. Requies asked her, "So, how did you think of the food here?"

Requies was also wanting her to do something, being that she was eating their food. The ex-soldier asked her, "I need a couple of favors of you... First, what is your name? We never really introduced ourselves. I'm Requies Artog. Your name?"

[Jorlaxl]

Jorlaxl's school was a mess.

Walking outside of the building upon hearing the ruckus, he watched intently while the two fighters sparred. Of course, there was the human Requies, one that Jorlaxl admitted into the school recently, although haven't had the opportunity to train with. He was fighting against an other... more sinister being. He was a new arrival, one that Jorlaxl has never seen before, but he knew enough about the being. He could sense his aura, acute and practically stinging. What was his purpose here, other than causing a mess of his school?

It was obvious to master Jorlaxl that this visitor was a demon from a plane other than this one. However, he appeared much more... normal? Even Caius, Whom seemed human enough had several demonic qualities such as teeth, peculiar hair, among other things. Why was this demon so much different than the others?

Walking up to this new arrival, the master of Crane bowed low, before holding his *right* hand out to the Demon. Testing to see how he'd react, Jorlaxl spoke. "That was an interesting fight, well done. Worry not about the mess, I'll have it cleaned soon enough." This demon, although destroying this portion of the area, seemed civil enough. The last demon he met ended up becoming Jorlaxl's best friend... are all nether-demons this social? Grinning at the thought, he remembered the other two of importance.

Jorlaxl shot a look towards Requies and this new woman, saying, "And a good spar, master Requies. Who are these two new arrivals?" So many new individuals arriving at the school isn't a new occurence, but usually a good thing. Activity at and around his school interests the Bio-android much, and rightfully so. The last time an influx of members joined, it made for much activity and attention.

Looking at the woman, who looked tired but unbowed, Jorlaxl noticed something odd. A brown appendage grew out from her lower back, something he knew well. The hair... the tail... it was too much o a coincidence. Was this woman a saiyan?

[Fudotatakai]

Fudotatakai was reaching the final hallway of the school when a new person entirely stepped out in front of him. The man gave a deep bow in the direction of Fudo, who was honestly a bit annoyed that his exit was being blocked. Still, he remained calm and waited to see what the man wanted. Though Fudo was familiar with the act of bowing when you meet someone, he had never been one to really partake in such pleasantries. The man extended his right hand to Fudo, who merely raised an eyebrow. What did this guy want? He didn't seem hostile, and he didn't quite look like he belonged in this kind of place. The man went on to compliment Fudo's performance in the fight, telling him not to worry about the mess he and Requies had caused. "... Mm." he hummed in acknowledgment, nodding at the man's words.

He looked back at Requies and Jaxine, who were still visible past the end of the hallway and through the courtyard. He didn't want to stick around for any kind of conversation, so in a gesture that would seem rude to most, he simply turned slightly to his left and walked right past Jorlaxl, not even looking down at the man. "Fudotatakai is my name." he simply told the man, not asking for his name in return, but simply answering the question given to Requies regarding the name of the two newcomers. He didn't even know Jaxine's name yet, so he only gave his own name as he began making his way further towards the front door.

[Rensou Hiruen]

230 PL to Jorlaxl. Weights were not factored in, as no activity using them was posted.

This is a pregrade, feel free to continue this thread.

[Jaxine]

Her head hurt. Her ass hurt. And she was starting to have a little withdrawal from her... medicine. This Requies guy was already getting on her nerves, asking about the food and if she would do him some... favors.

"The hell does that mean!?"

She lashed out and tried to grab him by the throat, as he wore no shirt. She'd be ready to punch him out when another man approached. She'd let go quickly as if she had done nothing. The new man spoke to Requies, then more as he looked at her. He looked normal enough, but the way things were going, he was probly some other kind of freak.

She wanted to yell at him too for the food sucking and the battle ground not being sturdy enough. But the other guy returned, stating his name as well. She rolled her eyes.

"And I'm Jaxine. People who like to die call me Jax."

She narrowed her eyes at Requies. His fight with Fudo ended in a draw, so she made no money. She didn't like not making her money... And that's when she noticed the nameless new person checking her out, so it would seem. She caught him staring at her ass. Her arm lashed out for his collar and her arm drew back, though he could easily move if he noticed.

"I haven't had my meds for a bit, and when you add in a shot of 'guy checking me out', I can get pretty fucking violent!"

[Requies Artog]

Requies didn't notice the master come into view, as Jaxine was just about to lash out at her. She grabbed him by his throat and was about ready to punch him when his master called out. The ex-soldier's eyes widened, as he was released from her grip. She introduced herself as Jaxine and Fudo walked back when he was acknowledged as well. The ex-soldier's thoughts were along the lines of how he had engaged in a sparring match that got too far out of hand and destroyed some of the school. Students were injured, aside from himself, and he had brought a saiyan into the school without alerting Jorlaxl.

Requies cleared his throat, dropping to one knee as he stated, in a tired, but clearly troubled manner, "These people are guests, as you've identified. The man here is named Fudotatakai, who requested a sparring match from myself. The saiyan wo-"

He halted, seeing Jaxine sprint over and grab a student in the neck, while introducing herself and raving about how one of the students had been checking her out. Requies muttered, looking at her, "Put him down, Jaxine! You're in the presence of this school's master! Show some respect!"

Requies bowed his head once more, stating, "I had not known you were around, Master Jorlaxl. Had I, I would have checked with you first. Please excuse this outburst!"

[Fudotatakai]

Fudotatakai didn't slow down. He kept making his way towards the front door of the school, showing no interest in the conversation going on behind him. The woman called a Saiyan was apparently named 'Jaxine', an interesting name, he would admit. Then again, Jaxine was an interesting woman. She was hot-tempered and spastic, and though she was very annoying, her antics proved to be someone amusing, almost like entertainment. Were all Saiyans like that? Regardless, Fudo was almost at the front door, about to step outside when he suddenly stopped...

Something shook his body. It alerted his senses like a bolt of lightning, coursing through his brain and paralyzing him for a moment. What... What was that? It felt similar to when Requies was powering up during the fight, but this was much, much stronger. He normally couldn't detect energy signatures unless he was directly focusing on them, or they were close enough to catch his attention. This Ki, however, was strong enough to reach him from dozens of miles away. He could sense what direction it was coming from, but he couldn't see the cause of this massive collection of power.

Fudotatakai looked back at the man who bowed to him, who was apparently named Jorlaxl, judging by the way Requies responded. Jorlaxl seemed to be in charge of the school, but just how strong was he? Fudo wondered if the Crane School master was able to sense the power just as he could, but didn't speak up, so as to avoid causing panic.

Off in the distance, Rensou Hiruen continued charging his attack, putting the entire planet at his mercy...

[Requies Artog]

(Before this thing freezes into Oblivion, I'm going to post now.)

Requies was waiting for the master, expecting some sort of punishment for ill-informing him. He, in his weary state, remained kneeling and unaware of what would happen next. What he did not expect, truly wasn't expected...

A large shock of pressure was sent into his head. It became unbearably painful immediately, forcing himself to grab his head. The pain seemed to be sent everywhere, but different degrees in different directions. He fell to the ground, trying to not shriek in pain! What was this sensation that Requies was feeling?! He looked around, from person to person, trying to call for help. However, every time he tried to breathe a word, a quiet, restrained shriek came out.


"Someone...! HELP! GRRAAAAH," Requies groaned loudly, panting for a breath of air. The students who were helping him before the master showed up picked him up, and carried him away to his room. As he became distanced, the pain in his head subsided a little, becoming calmer and relaxed upon reaching the room. He was settled on a bed and the younger student went to go get bandages and medicine.

As he did, another section of pain died down in his head. Requies grabbed head, rubbing it where there was still pain. The older student, a man who seemed to be roughly around his age, put his hand on Requies's forehead and shoved him down, so he could relax. He told the ex-soldier, "You need to rest. Your fight with that man... Fudotatakai was it? He managed to get you a few times in the face and your bodies, his and yours, were left heavily damaged, so you shouldn't be surprised about the pain you're feeling."

The other student came back, holding many bandages and different types of spices. The pain in his head increased once more, as the boy came close. Requies groaned and shifted his head, but remained still due to the monk's hand. As the boy shifted around, the pain seemed to follow his every movement. It wasn't strong, but it was irritable, while the pain that came in coincidental direction from him became more like pressure... Like Requies's mind was getting used to it.

The monk noticed this and asked the student to leave them, stating that he'd take care of him. He removed his hand and grabbed a stool next to the nightstand. He sat it next to the bed and began working the bandages around the wounds. Requies's head pain subsided coming from his direction, but seemed to linger in different areas. Requies asked, groaning as he did, "What's... Going on? Why did I- Arggh! Why is my head in so much pain in specific areas?! When the kid came in, pressure came up that seemed to follow where he went!"

The monk continued working, putting some of the spices on his cuts before wrapping them in gauze. He explained, as he wrapped a bandaged around his arm, "Your body is adapting to sensing energy signatures... Apparently, in your case, by sending waves of pressure to your head. From the looks of it, once your familiar with someone's energy, it begins to subside from pain... It would explain why you fell down in front of the master and those other two."

He wrapped a bandage around Requies's right knee, then had him sit up as best he could. The bruises hurt like hell as Requies sat up. He removed his gi, so the monk could wrap the bandage around him. Requies stated, "So, you're saying, I- Ow! Careful!"

"My apologies. You were saying?"

The monk finished wrapping the bandage around Requies's abdominal area, which did manage to ease up some of the pain. Requies rubbed his stomach, as he continued in a quiet voice, "Thanks... As I was saying, so you're saying I can sense out a person's energy?"

The monk nodded, getting up from the stool. He bowed to Requies, telling him, "Yes, Requies. It happens when a fighter reaches a certain degree of power or skill. The body develops a kind of 'sixth sense' in order to do so. The master is a very strong individual, just like those two you invited in the dojo. However, like yourself, those two are not able to compare to the master's strength at the moment. Kazama was like that for a while, but he trained and surpassed the master... But that you already know. In the mean time, I'll be back with some food, master Requies."

The monk left Requies where he was. The ex-soldier had been brought to his room once more, to recover from yet another fight. Hopefully, he wouldn't make a habit of this, but that wasn't a concern. Requies's head was throbbing still. The three giant pressure points seemed to point towards Jorlaxl, Fudo, and Jaxine. He could feel something... It was weak, but he could notice it. Somewhere, outside the school, he could sense a presence. The ex-soldier was not realizing that he had been sensing out the massive power that was Rensou Hiruen. What he did notice, though about this presence... It was violent. The pressure in his head stung him, like annoying bug bites from hundreds of mosquitoes biting in the middle of summer in a moist field. The pressure coming from the others, though, just felt like someone jabbing at his head with their fingers, Jorlaxl's power level poking very hard while the others were nudging his head.

Whatever the case was, Requies would have to rest for the rest of the day. This match of his was an amazing one. At least, that much had been certain.

(Posting my exit. Do what you wish guys.)
