chapter 2: Lightning kicks vs Graceful Punches! Amara vs ??? !

( as the first official day of class everyone is adjusting and settling in with the new environment or schedule but as chance would have it two fighters have decided now is time for them to fight)

(classroom door slams open)

Icarus: Xavier! come quick!

Xavier: ???

( as they run down the hallway Icarus fill Xavier in on the situation)

Xavier: she was challenged by a higher rank? why? what's in it for him?

Icarus: not just any rank it's rank:16900 and he's strong.

Xavier: shit, so what do we know about him aside from that?

Icarus: his name is Barak and his title is "Barak Of The Lightning Kick" and he's specialized in taekwando, kickboxing, and karate so he's bad news.

( they stop at sight of a growd gathering in the halls to watch the fight set to take place)

Xavier: it's already started and it's got alot of people's attention too. The only problem is why challenge a rank below you? and a freshman at that.

Icarus: Because of Amara reputation and skill obviously he's looking to boost his status so he'll be seen by those of a higher rank. its....

( Icarus looks at Xavier to see that he's already zoned out and is looking only at the fight and what a fight)

Xavier: woah.....

( the fight)

( Barak is immediately on the offensive and is throwing a variety of strikes from straight punches to round kicks all so he can chip away at Amara's defense. To Barak's shock and as he has not landed more then 10 out the 60 strikes he has thrown so far and as he goes for a front kick he misses and is taken to the ground where Amara rains down punches, barak no stranger to grappling bucks his hips throwing her off and shifts out and gets back to his feet.)

Barak:..huff...huff...man your no joke and only a freshman.....alright then I'll get serious now

Amara:....let's go

( Amara quickly steps in with three jabs, two to Barak's body and then one to his face but feels a sharp pain in her thigh as Barak responded to her strikes with a swift round kick but it doesn't stop there as Amara tries step back but is hit with a front kick launched with such power and speed it was like an arrow)

Amara: ...huff...huff...(that one got me good if this keeps up I'm going to lose in my first fight)....alright let's finish this up right now.

Barack: alright but expect the last thing you see before lights out to be my foot.

( Barak goes to launch a similar attack as before when he's cracked hard by a hook stopping him cold, not one to stop half way through Amara used the opportunity to land a devastating uppercut. Barak who is surprised by her increase in punching power decides to go for very high front kick that Amara easily dodges but it was just a so barak could get his leg high enough and he now brings it down hard for an ax kick to Amara's shoulder or so he thought, Amara use the kick as an opportunity to close the distance between them where she puts her judo to good use with "Morote Gari" to get to the ground and shows off her jiu-jitsu as she get gets past Barak's half gaurd. Barak left with no options as his knowledge of grappling and wrestling was minimal at best but out of desperation...no out desire for victory maybe? either way Barak began to throw punches and elbows which halted Amara's attempt at advancing her position.)

Amara: you are really determined....i wasn't expecting you still resist even now

Barak: I WILL NOT LOSE! NOT TO YOU OR ANY ONE ELSE!!! DO YOU HEAR ME!?

( Barak by force of will or just sheer luck manages to get free of Amara and back to his feet.)

Amara: alright enough with this! let's settle this in a way your going to enjoy

Barak: I'm listening

Amara: the first man to fall loses by that I mean if you fall to ground you've lost this fight but no grappling or wrestling, we will let are strikes decided this.

Barak: fine by me...1

Amara: 2

Both: 3!

( with that Barak threw a front kick with such speeds it cut Amara's nose but he is then caught off guard by a right hook to his jaw causing him to stagger but not fall, Xavier and Icarus watch on is pure disbelief at this fight as Amara's swift and graceful movements let her land devastating punches while Barak's speed let's him throw lethal kicks. Amara and Barak know that the fight is reaching it's climactic end very soon, in order to catch Amara off gaurd and claim the victory Barak uses the question mark kick and it lands as amara turns to what will be a fall.)

Icarus: she's going to drop!

Xavier: ...no she's isn't

( just as Xavier said Amara did not fall instead using the kicks momentum as an opportunity to preform a surprise attack of her own, Barak has no time react as he is hit with the spinning back fist knocking him to the ground to the shock of everyone watching)

Amara: that...huff...huff..that should do right?

barak:...damn..yeah that's it for me

(later)

Icarus: that was a close match Amara it could have gone either way, Barak's kicks were insane and his ability to get back on his feet made him one tough opponent.

Amara: yeah he was strong real strong it made me wonder just how strong the others will be going forward.

Xavier: doesn't matter cause we'll just have to get just as strong....no we'll get even stronger so no point in dwelling on that negativity.

Icarus: true and besides we should be celebrating the first new rank Amara earned today with a mini party so let's go eat on me.

Amara: thank you guys but you don't have to go that far over one win

Icarus: (mumbling: you guys? you mean me)

Xavier: eh no biggie ( smirks)

Icarus: (rhhhhh!)...well anyway let's go

Xavier: alright let's move

Amara: yeah...( during that fight...)

Xavier: ( i could feel it...)

Icarus: ( the higher ranks watching...)

all: ( THIS WAS JUST THE BEGINNING!)
