Recycled Sushi

(Hehe… cute. My Alex would be called FA now. >w<… Alrighty then)

FA: GAH! *recoils a few steps into the street from the punch, and launches back, slamming his palm into HDL's face down onto the pavement and pummels repeatedly*…

I *wham* AM *wham* HUNGRY! *WHAM*

FA: *yelps*… Perfect… it takes two to dance.

*charges, feints to the right, and comes behind HDL… locking him by the neck, and does a backflip aerial suplex… slightly cratering the pavement with his head*…

The ground seems to like you…

*kicks off HDL's chest and backs to a distance, going defensive*

FA: *is startled by Fix's appearance*… O.O… h-hey, you should probably go somewhere else saf-GAH! *gets knocked back a bit by the bark, and gets disoriented*…

*The next thing he knew, HDL was on top of him, raining down with punches to his torso, and instantly shields with his arms and flexes his abs to absorb whatever HDL's knees dish out…. then looks around*…

…mu… muffins!

*unguards his rather sore arms and slips his hands through HDL's barrage, and grabs him by the neck with his left, and jabs with his right*

Get… OFF… ME!… *JAB JAB JAB… then heaves him away, before rolling in the opposite direction to make a break for the muffins… and gulps one in seconds*

you want one?… *snickers*

FA: FFffff… *wipes blood from his fur*… my my… look at you.

*stands up, and noms on the second muffin*…

I don't contain demons in me, Lee… just personalities. I'm still me, albeit a little crazier than the last.

You kicked my butt last time, but I'll take my chances. *stretches and flexes his muscles a bit… then lunges at FDL, vice-grabbing him by the arms, and releases a barrage of clawed kicks to FDL's abs and chest*

FA: *shakes his head a little bit*… you never run out of trinkets to throw around, don't you?

*pops his knuckles and charges. At the last moment, he ducks and does a floor sweep to knock FDL down, but misses when FDL jumps in reaction, wings helping with the weightlessness*…

Oh no you don't! *plants his feet and grabs FDL at the ankles before he gets out of reach, then slams him to the ground chestfirst. Capitalizing on the initial shock, FA jumps behind and grips the right wing with both clenched fists*…

You're cheating me with these…

*stomps down hard on the main wing bone, effectively breaking and dislocating it from FDL's back… then releases before backflipping away to a stance*

And to answer your question, I am tired, but not too tired. *watches gleefully as FDL stands up, one wing erect, and the other hanging limp*

FA: *smile disappears as he watches the wing right itself*… Dammit. you're really are a stinking cheater.

*yelps as FDL delivers a backfist followed by the rib-cracking hard knee, then falls to his knees on the dust, coughing up a bit of blood*

Fine. you want the third me?… then I'll give him to you…

*eyes turn from crimson to a golden yellow, as his breath becomes shallow and quick. His heart rate races to a point that would give pro athletes a heart attack, as his body warms up considerably due to the boosted blood flow and insane metabolism. FA's musculature gets thicker and denser on top of that*…

*blinks twice, then looks down at his amped up self*… Wow… haven't come out like this in years. Red must have gotten his rump handed to him again. And who might you be? *pats his ribs, feeling over healed bones while staring at FDL with curious eyes*

FA: *stands up from the distance, and whistles as if he saw something that tickled his fancy*… Dunno who you are, or what pits you came from. But you're impressive! And you don't need to yell. I can hear you fine. *applause*… You're really something else… really.

*spits a wad of blood on the sand, then starts sprinting towards FDL at an accelerated rate*

And are you sure you've met others like me?… I doubt it.

*kicks off the rim of the crater after he shoulder-tackles FDL at speed, making a good bit of the crater wall collapse as they shoot to the other side in a trail of dust. In midair, FA locks Lee for a headfirst crash to the opposite wall, which makes the entire half section crumble wile still plowing through rock with Lee's head*…

*moments later, FA pulls out of the rubble*…

Come on out of there, we still have to play. And I know we both have the same definition for 'play'…

*squats on the dirt, drawing circles on the sand while waiting for FDL to come out*

FA: *sits upright, and notices the muffin*… oh. food. >w<… *eats the pastry with much gusto*

Don't know why, but this muffin is surprisingly filling. and familiar. So was that dog.

No matter *lick*… so that's what it feels like to be a ragdoll. Cool.

And I would have patched myself up even without the licking. though I admit that felt nice. And I tell you now I'm harder to break. The more times you fracture me, the harder my bones get when healed… and I heal fast, because I'm a freak. A freak swimming in hormones.

*jumps out of the crater in a few bounds, grabs some bowling ball-sized rocks, then starts flinging them at FDL with the force almost as blasting as artillery shells*… I was always the pitcher during high school…

*FDL deftly dodges the rocks like nobody's business, as they keep whizzing past within mere inches of himself… the rocks shattering behind him in blasts of dust and debris*

Aww, you're too darn fast. *charges toward FDL, a rock in hand. Just as FA was about to get to Lee, the demon blurs out of sight, just because he can. At that instant, Alex plants a foot down and pivots hard… swinging the rock round 180, and it finds its mark. The solid piece of earth seemingly explodes in midair with a deafening, crunching sound. Alex had hit Lee's arm just as he phased behind the gold-eyed husky… and Lee gets flung violently in the opposite direction until FA suddenly follows with a grab to the wrist, and pulls him back in, in time to meet a hard punch to the chest directly to the solar plexus*

*what followed were resounding, blunt thuds as FA kept pounding at Lee's midsection, with the occasional sickening crick and crack, as ribs give way to the pummeling*…

Say… *smash*… UNCLE… *smash* *crack*… YOU BASTA-OOF! what the?

*FA backs away as jets of flame erupt, dazing his vision a bit*

(yes, I am swinging between actions here. XD… it's kinda awkward to think that, within our individual comments, the opponent is entirely under one's mercy through the combos… I'm gonna keep things spontaneous by not making Lee a statue through my ramblings. XD)

(Oh, and medically speaking, Gold Alex can put up a fight against Full Demon Lee. An insane heart rate, peaking endorphins, heightened metabolism, and an initially athletic body can make Alex provide some sport for Lee… and not just some entertainment leading to a rather decided, and crushing defeat ^^)

FA: *stands up, dusts himself off a bit, places his hands on his battered torso, and replaces a few ribs before they could set the wrong way, making a few crunching sounds. He also pops back a dislocated shoulder*… *sighs*…

You've almost done me in, Lee… but not yet. Man, that was rough. But you aren't a firing squad.

*lunges at FDL, starting up with a straightforward right jab, making white streaks of vapor as his fist pierces the air. FDL, ever grinning, phases with a swift side step, missing AA's punch. Following with AA's massive momentum, FDL grabs him by the wrist just as the punch misses, and flings him toward a rock wall. Alex spins in the air and meets the rock with his feet, recoiling and catapulting from the wall… leaving a crater where he made contact*… BOUNCE!!!

*Alex launches toward FDL like a comet. Lee side steps again, but before reaching him, Alex plows the ground, and changes direction… colliding into Lee's side. Taking this chance, FA digs his clawed fingers into one of FDL's wings with the might his hands could give him… veins and muscles writhing on his arm and hands.*

*With a double hard kick into Lee's ribs, taking care to break a few… knocking Lee hard on the ground. Alex then flexes his arms and back, pulling and ripping on the grabbed wing. The sound of bones dislocating, muscles being torn, and leather being ripped can be heard… as the wing tears apart from Lee's back with slivers of tendons and hyde. Among these sickening sounds, a guttural and otherworldly wail prevails, as FDL screams in agony*…

*wasting no time, Alex throws away the dismembered wing, and grabs hold of the other while wrestling FDL, keeping him pinned. FA stomps on the savaged wound hard with his heel, and proceeds to pull and rip at the other wing, as his body bulges with muscular effort*…

(I'm so glad you didn't kill this thread. >w<… cheers, Lee.)

FA: Tch… dammit. I felt like hitting your wings wouldn't work. must have been Red. No matter… *eyes FDL up and down*… you look like you swam in steroids. Well, so do I. *finds an odd moment to chuckle at himself*… And yes, I do.

*lowers his stance, and breathes deeply. His eyes sharpen, and his golden irises almost seem to glow. He lowers a bit more, tensing his leg muscles as they streak with veins… then he shoots forward. With not much ground to cover, he collides with FDL with a hard punch to the gut… though with Lee jacked up, it must have felt like steel at that speed… resounding with an explosive noise that echoes across the desert, as flesh hits flesh*… what an upgrade. *smiles a toothy grin*

*quickly follows with a series of blurred heavy high kicks and uppercuts aimed at the head, which FDL deftly parries most. Those that hit resound with loud booms that might as well have been artillery… and were sure to have caused as much damage… and from time to time, thick bones snapping*…

*Alex steps back slightly, and draws his right arm in for a hard jab, and sees FDL doing the same… their ripped arms bulging and rippling with growing tension. You could almost hear their muscles flexing then… and they release. Two simultaneous and devastating punches thrown just like a mirror image… and both find their mark… two clenched fists meet two hardened faces… as both their heads snap back from recoil, throwing them both in opposite directions. Alex skids across the desert and gouges out a deep rift into the hard earth, while Lee crashes into the side of a cliff*…

*Alex jumps out from his little ravine, dusts himself off, and massages a bruised jaw*
