HolyLand

Nenma Takashi

Terribly Terrible
The nightlights flickered on as the city seemed to die down, everyone was coming back from work or going to their night shifts. Kids were being tucked in for sleep the sun had set and the night was now young. This was now no longer the simple city it was before of Onikatsu it was now the Holyland. A place where gangs roamed free and fighters came to test themselves and place of dreams to those that love to watch fights or be apart of them. Here the strong rule and the weak don't exist here the four main gangs in the city gather to sell drugs, hold fighting events, and other services. It's were strong fighters called Overlords roam looking for better fights or other fighters gather in hopes of becoming known as overlords.
 
As the dark night soon dominated over the shining sun,I took my first step into Holyland. The atmosphere was indescribable. The culture was one full of violence, drugs, and pleasure; I loved every second of it. Walking on to the wet ground, and into the town square, what I saw was even better. It reminded me of a roman coliseum, the blood, crowd, and the man who sat on top watching it all. From what i can see, he was my goal, he is the man who I wanted, no needed to beat.
 
The fight in the center of the crowd was between two members of the DevilBats they were both big guys, and both had broken noses one of them had a cut above his right eye as well. Taylor would feel something hit his shoulder only for an extremely tall girl to walk by. Kiyo watched the fight letting out a huff of air unimpressed. "This is what the crowds for to watch a bunch of apes smack each other around? Lame."

Kvetoslav was wondering down the streets of this crime-torn area., he was outfitted in a trenchcoat black trench coat underneath a suit, as usual being professional looking with gloves on to cover his fingerprints. He was currently analyzing his surroundings, even being a bit of a notorious hitman idiots who did not know who he was probably would still try to jump him or mug him, he had a mission to do he had no time for that bullshit. He finally approached the apartment, it was a complex, he had to go up 3 floors, which was fine with him. Climbing up the stairs he was calm, collected, and was prepared, then approaching the right door he knocked on it. Saying as he did so in a Russian accent but flawless English, since he decided to learn English as one of his languages to learn when he was in the KGB. "Hello, I have a package to deliver for you." the person on the other end said. "Alright, alright I am coming." And once the door opened, it revealed a man, and right before he could say anything else. Kvetoslav very quickly unholstered his Silenced Skorpion vz. 61 from the inside of his trench coat and opened fire unloading a clip straight into the man popping him with 20 .32 ACP rounds into his chestal area. The man constantly shook from the force of the 20 bullets tearing through his frontside leaving bloody stains in their wake. Kvetoslav watched as his target dropped dead, smiling slightly at the efficiency of his job done he then took a picture of the hit for proof of it. He began to walk off as if nothing happened reloading the weapon and holstering it again in his shoulder concealed holster. Going down the stairs he called his contact, stating, "The deed, is done. I am on my way to claim my money, and don't worry I have picture proof." He stated to his employer as he waltzed down the streets to noticing a cluster of people gathered around something, he walked besides Kiyo and Taylor and watched as he saw the generic street fight. He then said sarcastically "Oh, so we have yet another gang mating ritual going on? God do people like hitting each other to impress others... Two alpha males pathetically trying to look cool."
 
Hanako stood in the crowd, scrutinizing the fight internally. She takes various mental notes of the abilities of the combatants, pausing to look around for any threats, and continues to watch. She silently adjusts her glasses, and continues to observe.
 
As one of the men drop to the ground unconscious the leader of the DevilBats Togu steps out to congratulate the winner. "Nice you put up a good fight but I can tell we got some who are wanting a bit more. Am I right!?" He asked the crowd many cheered loudly for more of course they did, Togu scanned the crowd then nodded his head. "Alright alright well then how about this who wants to try their luck next in a fight?" Kiyo took the opportunity the moment she saw it. "Me! I wanna fight next!" Togu waved for her to stand next to him the two the same height. He looked at her impressed then took her arm raising it high. "Who wants to go toe to toe with this gal huh cmon don't be a pussy! Let's see what you punks really got!" Togu yelled to the crowd Kiyo smiled her gaze causing a few in the crowd to step back showing they wanted no part in the fight.

I rose my hand high and began marching forward. The presence I felt from this woman was something indescribable, it weighed down on me greatly. With every step taking a bit more effort then the last, I soon stood in front of her and gave a remark, "Don't bust me up to bad, got work tomorrow" I jested. I look to the announcer and waited for his approval on the match.
 
Togu let go of Kiyo's arm and stepped back he clapped for Taylor. "Nice guts kid alright let's not waste any time here." The crowd let out a cheer for Taylor then Kiyo looked down at him smiling. "Oi shrimp don't hate me for what happens next." The term shrimp was a strange one since Taylor was tall compared to others but almost everyone was short when compared to Kiyo. Togu made one last announcement. "Alright let's get this show on the road!" With that Kiyo went for a straight jab aimed right at Taylor's face.


@Blue098
 
as I looked from the announcer and back to the girl and I found myself about to meet her fist. I let it slide, narrowly missing my face, and dashed in, closed the distance tremendously . With barely room to breathe or move without bumping heads, I thought of a idea "Hey darling I said not that face" I jested once more as a gave a I quick wink for the icing on the cake. After stating this though, I stepped in further,trying to get her off balance and reached to grab her to gain control.

Kvetoslav watched as the fight earlier ended, and watched as a new fight was about to take its place. He raised an eyebrow as the woman who was just finding the fight to be boring as she then became the first fighter to jump in. He was a bit curious to see who would fight the massive woman, and interestingly Taylor had gone in. Kvetoslav would've been more or less interested to jump in had he been a different kind of person, but he had no times for matters like that unless he had to legitimately defend himself or it was his target. For the moment though he was interested to see it play out, as he paid close attention to both fighters.
 
Kiyo was a bit impressed that the guy had moved in instead of running away like most. But as he got closer she only smiled at him. "Idiot did you think with my range I'd be no good close up. Well sadly that's wrong." Kiyo also moved in her arm reaching out for Taylor to grab him as he was trying to grab her. Only her grab was more aimed at his right arm. 


@Blue098
 
Hanako silently observes again, noting Taylor's rushdown grappling strategy. After taking in Kiyo's remark, she predicted some sort of counter, but she was unsure of what kind. She adjusts her glasses, and moves around the circle to find a new angle.
 
As he continued to analyze and observe, he couldn't help but notice Hanako watching and analyzing in depth what was going on rather than take it as an entertainment sort of event. Especially with her pacing trying to get new angles, his experience could very much tell of that. Kvetoslav with hands in his pockets came up quietly next to her and said. "I can see you're observing this carefully, as compared to watching this for entertainment. Are you trying to get some pointers and learn how to survive in this 'holyland'? Because that might be best if you are trying to make a name for yourself here." He presumed. It seemed like she would possibly be one of those idealistic young kids trying to make a name for themselves, taking a closer look she probably did not look like someone who would last long, but he knew from his experience not to underestimate people, she may have glasses and have that type of demeanor. But that meant jackshit, and it was entirely possible that she could definitely hold her own out there. He then glanced back to the fight watching carefully since it looked like the melee may end up into grappling or throwing.

As my hand grabbed her left shoulder, and she grabbed my right arm, I immediately pushed her forward with my left hand,and began spinning my body with extreme force to the right. With her being off balanced I planned on flipping her over my shoulder by pulling her in with my left and and letting acceleration and gravity finish the job. This was a simple move I learned from a judo fighter, though I put my own twist to it.

Hanako freezes, having been startled by the sudden dialogue, but she quickly regains her composure and replies. "In a way, yes, I am learning how to survive. However, what I am also learning about, are the techniques that my possible future opponents utilize in combat. It would be beneficial to take this information in while it is being openly broadcasted and employ it against them, no?"
 
Kvetoslav, seemingly embodied experience, he knew that that was a smart way to go about living here but he was legitimately curious as to why young people like her would give up probably better lives for this lifestyle, though that seemed ironic considering that Kvetoslav depending on your perception of 'right' was the man upholding the law, and then flopped to the other side to make a living, using his capabilities, so he states and asked. "You are certainly right, you got the right mindset...  But what drives you? What compelled you to do this? You look as if you could have a future elsewhere. I am legitimately curious. By the way, might want to watch your back, it's not always not going to be someone to strike up some form of conversation. And as it seems I gave you quite the scare."

Kiyo was somewhat surprised Taylor went for a judo throw but her smile didn't waver. "Nice too bad I'm the one you used it on." As she was flipped over his shoulder she turned her body so her feet landed on the ground. She then had his arm under her's turning she had his arm locked her other wrapped around his neck. "You seem like you'd be a fun opponent later down the road almost scared of what if I break you." She said into his ear joking.


@Blue098
 
I was pinned and I knew it, though this didn't stop me from having fun. "Well, this is going a bit fast for a first date don't you think". I realized my loss, tapping three times on her arm, I signaled my surrender. "As I said, don't want the face damaged for work. Don't worry we can continue this later." I spoke and began to laugh to myself a bit as I realized how skilled these fighters were. It would take much longer before I could reach the top.

Kvetoslav analyzing the situation saw that Taylor had vainly tried throwing the woman, it would have worked but as it seems she was able to get her feet planted into the ground, and as a result, she was able to regain control of the situation. It was quite interesting really and was interested to see that the man tapped out so easily, although he did seem to have fun while it had lasted. He did interestingly, wonder what would have happened had he decided to jump in instead of him. But he didn't have the time to go out fighting where there was no need for it and had he really wanted to go out there, that fight would have most likely dragged on.
 
Kiyo had Taylor's arm tight and was ready to snap it should he struggle to get out. But when he just tapped she showed visible disappointment her grip on his arm didn't loosen. She twisted her body getting ready to snap his arm when she saw a leg coming for her face and quickly let go of his arm jumping back. The man who had stopped her wore a plan blue t-shirt with black pants a chain hanging from the back of the pants, almost like a tail. Togu was the first to recognize him he walked over to the guy. "Maruba you lil punk what do I owe the honor?" He said patting the guy on the back Maruba didn't answer and just stared at Kiyo who stared back. Kiyo rubbed her chin where she was almost hit. "Wanna explain why you attacked me?" Maruba shrugged. "You were gonna snap the poor guys arm after he admitted defeat that's just not right." The people in the crowd began talking. "That's Maruba right?" "Yeah he's one of the overlords right?" "Mad Dog Maru they call him." "I heard it's cause he's so fierce in a fight, plus the animal like look he has when looking at an opponent. Almost like a hungry dog staring at some meat."

As the man saved my arm from getting snapped out of place, I could all but see his strength. Everything about him screamed dangerous. Though I didn't let this take hold, patting myself down, I learned something new from the fight. Looking at the woman who almost broke my arm, I can tell she is cautious of this man. To break the tension, I rolled my shoulder and spoke,"Well that was that, thanks for saving me and all buddy," I spoke to the man and rubbed the back of my head. Looking at the girl once more I was reminded of something, "Oh yeah, thanks for the fight you taught me a bit about some things, as well as gave me the pleasure of meeting you!" I spoke directly to her. "Though next time, I probably won't limit myself to just grappling, and actually fight seriously. So please look forward to that". Looking back to the crowd I could see them murmuring about the man.

Kvetoslav raised an eyebrow at the events transpiring, as it seems the woman was either a sore winner, or she really wanted to go on longer... Either way, he definitely saw that the woman was not lightening nor intending to let go of Taylor and even seemed intent on breaking his arm. Kvetoslav was about to begin heading off to receive his pay, but that's when he saw the next course of events go down, which intrigued him to stay a bit longer. His interest was piqued at the intervention by one of the Overlords 'Mad Dog Maru' he definitely had heard of him, as people like him were revered as well as feared in these streets. Kvetoslav actually curiously wondered the result of a fight between the two, especially with his combat experience against someone like him, but he realistically had no interest in doing so unless he had too or was hired to do so. Even then he probably would then not really want to bring it to close quarters fighting, nonetheless, his interest was in the development of events going on in the moment, and he was intent on watching it unfold.
 
Kiyo didn't break her gaze from Maruba who was doing the same the two resembled, a snake and wolf staring off with one another. Maruba titled his head at Kiyo giving a smug smile. "Sup I got something on my face?" Kiyo shook her head walking forward she looked down on the smaller man. "No I was just wondering what happens if I beat you right now?" Maruba snickered along with many in the crowd some even exploding into full blown laughter. One of them being Togu who wiped away a tear from his eyes from under his black sunglasses. Maruba looked to Taylor. "You're pretty good kid there was at your mercy, but." He looked back at her completely serious. "You ain't even close to being Overlord level kid." Kiyo nodded her head taking a step back then let her arm hang. "We'll see about that!" She decided she'd use her best attack a flicker jab, where she punched in a whipping motion which complemented her tall size and strength. But it proved useless against Maruba who just ducked to the side then spun kicking her in her stomach. Kiyo fell over holding her gut with one hand her mouth with the other fighting back the urge to barf. Maruba turned around and began to walk away over his shoulder he could be heard saying. "I won't lose to anyone till I wipe that smug look off that bastard of a SliverFang leader Alex." Kiyo struggled to stand she had lost to Maruba and he never had to even take his hands out from the pockets of his pants. Kiyo looked back to Taylor and narrowed her eyes. "Next time we fight I won't be stopped. I'll make sure you and I have to go all out."

I nodded and smiled, "Wouldn't have it any other way." Sticking out my hand to help her up. "The name is Taylor by the way, the next ruler of Holy Land" I spoke with confidence and hope. I knew how impossible it sounded, and how she may even laugh at my statement, though the I knew my statement was the truth. For too many years did I dream of this place, and now that I finally have a taste, I cant wait to make it mine. To become the strongest fighter this place has ever laid its eyes upon.
 
Kvetoslav continued to watch as everything went down, he watched a bit interested. He listened in and saw as the two fighters stared each other down, and as it seems the woman's patience ran out as she tried a whip like punch at Maruba, which seemingly is an easy punch to counter since it left her exposed. And as it seems he made short work of her with a kick to her stomach. Predictable, but what was interesting as Maruba confidently stated he wouldn't lose until he beat the other overlord. The leader of the Silverfangs Alex, which again sparked his curiosity in the opportunity to fight either one, but listening in to Taylor speaking stating how he would become the strongest fighter and overlord, which made him give a face of skepticism since he did not find that likely for a while. Nonetheless he intended to watch the event through to the end.
