Kings and Pawns

They look to each other and at this teacher. He isn't even speaking to them but instead to the thug from before and asking him to go easy. Looking to each other the leader motions and one of the others steps up next to his friend with a grin. "If the teacher thinks you are so dangerous then it is only fair if we send two out."

They are laughing as Dante looks them over and shakes his head. "Send all eight out so that I might work off a little of my meal."

Lindsey laughs and smiles calling out. "To bad you only have eight. You didn't bring enough!" Others join in cheering for Dante and mocking them the rest look around pissed.

Cassandra feels the excitement and seeing him with his smile she can't help but call out. "Show them no mercy as they only target weaker students!"

Dante looks over to her words and back as she would know best being from their school. A few look shocked she called out as he nods. "Carter. I am feeling a little dark so ready some red vials."

Carter looks to him and nods. "I have twenty ready for the standard students fights so keep the count of maiming below that." as Dante growls and licks his lips the two facing him suddenly don't feel so safe "Now show them why you hold your title Dante!"

Dante laughs out darkly and as they start to look around the rest are laughing. Cassandra looks around feeling the air is almost alive with a tingling sensation. "I offer you a choice. Strip naked and show your boy there how much you like him," he laughs "or fight me."

They look to each other and both say don't dare at the same time as they jerk. Afterwards they look back as many are calling out boo saying at least that would have lasted more than a few seconds, hopefully. Dante just shrugs smiling as he kicks off and slams into the one on the right. He sends a savage series of punches into his body before he grabs and throws them down to slam into the ground.

"Tom!" He glares at Dante who is ignoring him and steps in swinging his maul with all his strength intending to cripple this asshole before he even suits up. His eyes widen as Dante just flows backward as if made of water then leans up after it swings past while he spins from the force of the swing hitting nothing.

Tom looks up then pushes away as he kicks out a few times and pushes more while Dante stalks after him. Looking past he sees his friend regaining control of his maul and shouts out. "Damn it Tom stop screwing around and help me!"

Dante actually tilts his head as now that was just strange. "So no matter who I beat you scream Tom? Well I guess that just makes things easier."

Cassandra joins in the rest laughing at his comment as she shakes her head. "They are not the strongest ones that is Tobias, the blonde in the glasses." Dante looks over and smiles as he looks over and points. "Yes him my God."

Dante steps quickly dodging maul Tom and grabs crawling Tom as he chuckles to this in his mind. "Okay you two pests need to be swatted." he tosses Tom to Tom and shakes his head laughing "Tomwich."

They get up and glare at him as now both are done with being humiliated by this thug. Tom stands proud slamming his maul down on the end and glares at Dante. "Enough with the games, it is time to learn the difference!"

The other Tom steps forward holding a hand out as he has a staff after a few moments and strikes a pose. "We will beat you down and you will beg us!

Cassandra has her face in her hand as they really just did that. "Please if there is a thing called mercy in the world have no one recording this."

Dante is blinking as his mind processes that what he saw had actually just happened. Shaking his head he feels his eyes were just violated with such a display of stupidity. Okay yep, gotta crush them now I can't let that happen again. Kicking off as he goes now at staff Tom, or same Tom again.

Tom strikes out as Dante turns catching and pulling the staff as he stumbles some from the strength. Dante swings out catching his arm as it snaps and when the staff falls it twirls around in Dante's hands as first his other arm then each leg in rapid succession is broken. The impacts are fast and snap into him so he falls down straight as his voice chokes in his mouth.

Tom the maul, or maul Tom depending on what Dante is thinking at the moment. Swings out and Dante drops low as the staff twirls around behind his back. He snaps it out and kicks it so it slams upward with extra force breaking both of his arms at the same time. Dante hooks it with his leg and spins his body rapidly using his leg strength. It now goes low and snaps both his knees backwards with it before he looks to Tobias.

Tobias has watched him and nods. Dante was a fast speed fighter and seems to rely on weapons and staves in particular to fight fairly. He can't afford his own weapons or more likely he isn't as good as he pretended and it was luck he caught them off guard. Looking to the others he nods and smiles. "I have already solved how to beat him so shall we all join in?"

Dante tosses the staff back to Tom and motions as Ken comes up dragging them off one by one as Dante yawns before walking over as Lindsey holds up a bottle. "Here, it is Neon Dream Blue and my favorite." Dante smiles and takes a drink as he hands it back "Thank you already Dante."

Cassandra is looking around and notices a lot more bodies in here. After looking to several she sees a group is steadily getting larger. Thinking on what he has said she realizes that must be his team. Looking back to the fight she wonders just what is about to happen. Tobias steps out with the rest and is ordering people around like pawns. She knows this action as he treats his people like pieces on a board. It is why he is known as King at school as he leads his pieces to victory. Dante just watches and once he faces Dante he smiles fixing his glasses. "Checkmate.

Dante blinks and shakes his head before he rapidly moves from one to the next sending savage kicks or backhands into people. He makes them crumble like building blocks until only Tobias is left and now he smiles. "Okay. Warmup is over now time to show you who is in charge here."

Onya shouts out and cheers as she has a grin on her face. "Make them bleed!" as various other comments come from the group there Cassandra gasps and looks forward again "We need to head out after this so do make it quick."

Dante nods as he looks forward and smiles. "Bad luck. I have prior engagements so this is going to be a short lesson."

Tobias equips his suit and looks like a white king piece from the board as Dante smirks a little. As he attacks with a morning star Dante steps to the side and swings out feeling his fist hit his side. The feel of body giving isn't felt as Dante jumps sideways and swings hard from the other side as he is right. That suit is so big he can move around inside to keep safe.

Dante is now getting annoyed as he has dented this damn thing from several hits but still, it is too big to land a real hit. Tobias laughs and calls out. "None can breach my defenses but I can breach yours!"

Dante drops back and swings his body sideways throwing his leg back as he lowers his stance. But he was too far away plus not facing him as the rest look on not understanding his choices. As Tobias stays back not risking it Dante smiles and swings his leg up like he is kicking. As the leg goes past the middle of the arc he rolls his body as he quickly closes the distance while his body rolls in the air.

Carter blinks seeing this happen and his mouth falls open as Dante uses his powerful kick to throw his body forward. This increases his body's force as the other leg comes in and slams down into the shoulder of Tobias. None can mistake the sounds of metal crushing and the sounds of bones and screams.

However Dante wasn't done as he hits the ground his leg swings back again and this time directly before Tobias. Dante snaps his leg up he contorts his body so the kick is vertical and slams up between his legs. Some feel Dante just made a eunuch out of this kid as again the sounds of bones snapping sounds more like shattering. Tobias's body flies across the arena to land in a heap as blood pools out from his suit.

Dante spins around a few times and jumps up as he comes down slamming a fist down into the lower middle of his back. Everyone hears the wretched wail and sound of a loud snap as Dante nods before he stands looking down. "Never threaten my friends or hurt those under my protection." Carter just stares at him and despite the overkill of every attack he knows Dante didn't kill him. While the wounds are intense they can be fixed, just not the mental ones.
