Sunberth - Street Fighter ( Kreig)

[Ximal]

20th of spring 512AV

Midday cold but not too cold. Xi sighed he'd not had to run from the mob for a few days he was finally starting to blend back into the city. Even though he stood head and shoulders above most other people in the city. Xi's huge size often marked him as a target. His face hidden beneath his hood and the layers of light beard he now sported. Xis cloak concealed his huge frame beneath it. Striding down the street he sighed. His large hands clad in his steel gauntlets, with his vambraces, upon his forearms and his grieves on. He never went anywhere in this city without his armour. Liro was clawing at his mind once again, those vicious talons of fiery corruption sending pain throughout his body once again as he wrestled with him for control. Xi took a deep slow breath to control the monster within, but his arms tensed with pain as he slowed his walking to a complete stop. Liro was seeping into corruptive power. Liros echoing voice ripped through Xi's skull again. SOOOO Xi what are we going to do today? After all ive been so bored these last couple days. You've been ignoring me. I DON'T LIKE being ignored... Now what are we doing today? Xi was heading to work, but the voice in his head had other ideas. Liro wanted a fight. Xi wanted nothing to do with it...But this was sunberth...A fight may have been unavoidable...

[Kreig Messer]

Ah the streets of Sunberth, how Kreig loved it so. He loved the busy streets, he loved to hear the peddlers shout out their ,most likely, ill gotten goods. He loved to see a crowd of people roam the ill-maintained streets as some people unintentionally bump into one another and how some intentionally do so to pocket some mizas. He loved how the lowlives of the streets pretend to be tough yet only had the skills to throw a lazy punch, where tavern goers tended to have more iron in their drunken states.

Today Kreig wanted something he usually finds with ease, a fight, fisticuffs, bare, or iron covered, fists flying about to strike an opponents face or other exposed pieces of their body.Then he met the largest he ever saw as he he trotted down the treets witha childlike grin plastered on his face "By Dira's scythe, an Akalak would call this fine gent their little brother" He said to himself with a grin, content at the moment with observing the giant of a man, it was just so tempting to pick a fight "HEY, I WOULD LIKE TO PICK A FIGHT WITH YOU KIND SIR" He shouted, that was one way to start a fight one would suppose

[Ximal]

As xi wrestled with liro in his head he heard some poor fool declare he wanted a fight with Xi. In the middle of the streets was he mad? Xi swung his gaze around to look down at the man. Eight inches shorter than Xi, easy. As the declaration of the fight was made the crowd spread back from the hustle and bustle of the everyday workings. Forming a ring around Xi and the smaller man. Xi looked down at him but not on him. The other man was either clearly mad or well over confidant of his abilities. Xi looked straight into his eyes. Xi's own eyes black blue filled with liquid fire. Xi spoke slowly in retaliation to the man's outlandish outburst. "Are you sure about that...? Xi kept himself hidden not wanting to reveal anything about his positioning nor him mental state. He kept his dark black blue eyes fixed on the other man and was now sizing him up. Xi stood not only taller but stronger. Keeping his eyes fixed on the opponent Xi noticed the crowd around them. Egging on cheering wanting to see a fight. He's a wimp...Give the people here a show. OR I'll do it for you. Liro lashed out wihin Xi and drove his talns fo pain deep into Xi's shoulder. Xi kept calm and straight face the cloak of emotion he war blanketed calm but cold. "Challenge, accepted..." Xi readied himself for any moved that his opponent might make whilst keeping his own body positioning hidden. He'd watched fighters ion the pits. This was just a brawl....

[Kreig Messer]

Oh Kreig didn't to be particualry perceptive to tell this man was conflicted, it didn't have to be from his face but it could be from his question, as if wanting to be completely sure of Kreig's wish, and Kreig was completely sure as a crowd of people gathered around to form a circle, with people chanting for a fight while a few yells could be heard from others taking bets.

and then the giant man accepted the challenge, Kreig's grin couldn't grow any wider "Thank you for indulging a violent man's fancy" He said with a mock bow "And with a bit of courtesy, how abou't you throw the first blow" He said, truth be told it wasn't courtesy, nor arrogance, Kreig just wanted to know a strength of an opponents punch as he finds himself more motivated if done so. After all, if one were as fight loving a Kreig would they not wish to know their opponents strength? A normal person would call this madness, but people such as Kreig they called it 'JOY JOY JOY' the thought ranged throughout his head

[Ximal]

Both arrogant and clever. Xi was starting to like him more and more. as well as less and less. If liro broke free he'd loose a lot more than the fight. Now with the crowd roaring for blood and some violence Xi saw straight through this man's plan. Let him throw the first punch so he could gauge his power. Xi had several tricks should he need them. But right now, Xi would play the gentleman card right back at his would be opponent. "how kind but why don't you throw the first punch after all you offered the challenge. I merely accepted." Xi'd watched enough fights in the pits in one day to know that the first one to strike was the first one to get hit. Xi prepared himself for the first blow knowing he'd have to move some what speedily to deflect it. Taking a step backwards he opened the gap a little further to allow himself time to block as well as counter. It was clear his opponent had been in a few scraps. But Xi's been fighting for his life for a week and a half almost. Exhausted tired and battered as well as still injured he'd survived. A small scrap? He could handle that, besides he had armour. Though he want going to show it not behind his long sleeves and beneath his cloak. " Come now you initiated this why not throw the first punch, give the audience a show." With that a loud roar of approval erupted from the crowd. It seemed they approved his little jeering of the crowd...

[Kreig Messer]

Kreig grinned 'smart man, mart indeed' he could tell that soon he was to be enthralled 'There's more than one way to get to the euphoric state I so desired' He said with a smile still plastered on his face " Very well then, as the one who began it, the first throw should be done my hand" He said with another mock bow" He said a he slipped one his Iron Gauntlets, a keepsake from a father he never knew, a companion in many a battle.


A hint of Kreig's bloodlust became known however, as he threw the faithful first punch. It was a simple punch, its aim was to gauge out the opponents strength as he aimed for the foes abdomen, aiming to take the wind out, if that were to happen quite successfully he would try to grab his opponents head and bash it in his knee once he leans to grasp his stricken belly.

[Ximal]

Watching Kerig throw his first punch, Xi sighed. A simple punch? There ought to be more more more skill involved than that, what was the point fo simply hurling punches fro the hell of it ? If you fight you should fight to win not fight for fun. Xi simply hefted his arm up and brushed his punch to the side with his left arm. Then without missing a beat snapped the same arm back across and down he was aiming for kreig's jaw. If the blow connected it would send him sprawling back from the steel clad giant of a fist. Xi smiled If this blow connected he'd follow it up with a leg sweep and put him on his back. Though there was something eerie about him. He wasn't fighting for death but rather fun. Why fun, Xi accepted the challenge to slake the urges of a monster within. This man just seemed to fight for the sheer shyke of it. Xi thought his second part of his assault was a little more devious . Most fighters instinctual actions were to protect their head above all. So Xi drove his right fist from his waist with a full one eighty degree turn, amping up the speed by almost forty percent. This one was aimed right for Kreigs pancreas, and if it hit it would sting worse than a crack to the jaw. Xi would let kreig set the first blow but he'd have control. Good. Use his instincts your instincts against him. he blocks one or the other is right arm cant help him block so he can only block one. And seeing as his forwards momentum is helping him come towards you. That blow is going to hurt like a mother petcher regardless of which hits. Nehehehe.

[Kreig Messer]

'Ohhhh I picked a good one' was the quick thought that came to Kreig as the giant, steel, covered fist struck him square in the jaw, causing him to stumble back a bit 'OH YES' An euphoric thought came as the giant fighter sweeped him from his legs as he fell on his back. By all rights, Kreig should be in pain, of course he was and it showed through a pained smile and even more so a he laughed, an eerie joyful laugh mixed with pain that continued as he slowly stood up, hand on jaw as his movement still faltered slightly from the shock caused by getting hit in the Jaw 'I wanna break it' Break what? was the question 'I wanna break everything'.


A brawler was a curious thing, they didn't need to act intimidating, it just comes to them naturally. The way they carry themselves unintentionally cause others, and their foes, to rethink things for a bit I'm a biting off more than I could chew? was a question Kreig often enough caused to pop in the mind of other opponents, weather he defeated them or not. Another thing about brawlers, or at least Kreig; was that pain was an ally, shrugging it off added to that natural aura of intimidation they emit, enjoying it was like adding more burnable objects to an already burning furnace.

As he lunged forward to grab the giant man's head in an attempt to 'SMASH IT REPEATEDLY' and 'I WANNA BREAK 'EM' he could feel the awful pain in his pancreas, he ignored it, but knew he was struck even in his adrenaline-addled state of mine and would feel it moments afterward, all he could focus on right now was to become ,like yet unlike, the giant killer, and utterly smash the beast before him.

[Ximal]

Was he laughing? He was laughing from the pain that Xi had inflicted? Either he was truly mad as a hatter of he knew something that Xi didn't. Xi'd hit with two very strong blows mostly simple but a touch of technique across the pair of them. Xi watched him rise from the ground to the roar of the crowd. Well, looks like he's got more fight than some others. Xi didn't attack as kreig roe from the ground all Xi did in that time was widen the gap a little more to grans him more time to react and counter as he did before. Though his next counter wouldn't be so flashy it would be pure function. Kreig rose and lunged for Xi's head. Interesting why would he try and go for Xi's head when that meant he'd have to expos all of him? As krieg exposed mode of his torso in the attempt to attack Xi again. Xi brought his right leg up twisting on his hips pivoting his force around them, this both allowed his head to escape the grasp of the attack and would be the basis of a wicked strong and fast kick. Xi would attempt to connect the kick With his shin still coated in grieves adding some extra weight to the blow. He was aiming for his pancreas again. One point where it would hurt like hell to be hit twice sequentially. The kick if connecting would have enough force to cause kerig to turn sideways. If the kick didn't connect Xi would drag his elbow back across him and attempt to catch kreig in the jaw again. "Is this all you possess?" Xi was goading him, egging him on, trying to force him to loose his composure. f he did that would be the end o the bout. As wild swings are good but technique alwys wins in the end. Six says and nights runnin for his life. Minor brawls, Xi could handle those. As the crowd around them roared, everyone watched cheering. Betting odds Xi heard them being called out at the moment the pay off was; Giant two to one, and normal guy four to one. Not bad odds either way, but Xi would cement them in his favour if either of these blows connected.

[Kreig Messer]

Kreig never stopped moving after he missed the mans head 'Awww, he moved' Instead he moved forward, not out of the kicks away but not at its exact reach, the tip of his metal clad boots where the force of the blow would hav been at its strongest. He opted to grab the mans leg and use its momentum to his advantage, to throw the man in any direction and cause him to stumble and fall, if it worked he would try to jump and stomp on the man with the bottom of his boots "That's the best insult you have? Well I'm sure now that your mother washed your mouth with something clean one too many times, I've never heard something so bland and overused"He said with a grin as he spun, if the throw didn't work he push the man down anyway and beat his 'FACE IN REPEATEDLY, MAKE IT BLEEEED' He began to chuckle that eerie chuckle, the man before him needed to live a little.
