Everflame (Finished)

[HowlTheGrayWolf]

"Ah, boxing...my favorite." Howl started blocking Korius's jabs, but some managing to either get the edge of his cheek or landing in his stomach. Even with his core strength, the blows that landed hurt a good deal, yet that didn't stop him for more then a second or two. He retaliated with two punches with his right, then a surprise uppercut with his left hand (all aimed at Korius's head), following up with another punch to the stomach.

[Shinzuu Katame: Her Tolfy]

Korius quickly dodged the blows, the blows just barely bracing his skin under his fur, and he did his best to stay away from them. He quickly backed up at the upper-cut and took the stomach shot in the kidney as he grappled that fist and flipped Howl over. "I only know the basic form for boxing, but that seems to be a textbook combo, to me. Come on, surprise me." He smiled, having fun for the first time in a long time.

[HowlTheGrayWolf]

After landing hard on the ground and squinting a bit from the pain, he laughed and smiled back, "You've got it, hot-shot!" Leaping back to his feet, Howl gave off a couple punches, did a tornado kick, landing on his feet, "I guess it's not exactly boxing anymore, is it?" He chuckled for a moment, then got back into a fighting stance.

Korius smiled and dodged the attacks and took a more formal stance. "You are absolutely right. But you can't blame a guy for wanting to try new things, eh?" Korius took a large step and came in with a reverse-roundhouse, but it was a feint and he turned it into a reverse-sweep in mid swing.

The lupine officer aboard the Admiration, smiled wider and wider, showing more teeth, turning half into a sneer or a snarl as the lynx pushed to his knees on the catwalk.
"My God," said the wolf. "I've been looking for you for years, and yet I find you, when I'm not even looking." He pulls a pistol from his belt. "They always appear when you least expect them." The lynx looked at the floor; his face was solemn. The meerkat captain darted his gaze all around, from his crewman, to the officer, to the gun, then the guns of all the soldiers in the bay. The officer's face grew cold as he pointed his weapon square on the brow of Daray Mabaton.
"This is a mercy upon you. Thank me for it," he said. There was silence in the bay. "I said thank me!" His hand was quivering, a soldier stood forward.
"Sir, what are you do--"
"What! What is it private?" said the officer. His swung his aim from lynx to soldier and back. He gripped the handle hard.
"Sir, our duty is to arrest him."

Kate shoved through the crowd of marines, all of whom where watching the scene with trepidation.... pushing two marines aside she looked up to officer on the catwalk, to the soldier who had spoken out.... flicking her fringe from her eyes she stood straight backed, watching the scene calmly, tail flicking lazily....

Her paw slid behind her back, aparantly in the stance of military parade, back straight, arm behind her back... in reality her paw closed around the handle of the pistol she had taken when she reached for the pack of cards... flicking the safety off with one thumb she judged the distance... with the close range sidearm at such as distance, her chances where pretty slim.... but if he tried to kill the prisoner, she would have to fulfill her duties as a colonial marine.... killing a prisoner... could not go unjudged....

[HowlTheGrayWolf]

Not seeing the kick coming, Howl hit the ground with a "THUMP", then got back up. "Hey, it's MY job to surprise you!" He said it with a bright smile, then he popped his left hand out three times, his right twice, then did a round-house kick.

[Shinzuu Katame: Her Tolfy]

Korius held his hands up and merely deflected the punches and then ducked under the kick, pushing it to give it more momentum than Howl can control. "Not bad, Howl, but again, very textbook moves. You're going to have to think outside the box when fighting. Even if it works on your average soldier, you're going to really need to surprise them. Remember, ammo is never unlimited, but your enemies can be."

[HowlTheGrayWolf]

"Whoa!" Another loud 'THUMP!' resounded across the room. "I guess I should think 'outside the box'..." Charging up to Korius, he did a Tornado kick, then landed low, allowing him to sweep Korius's legs, then followed up with an upward kick.

(Sorry if my attacks are rather predictable, but I'm no fighting specialist)

On the Admiration, the wolf officer growled, breathing heavy, gripping the pistol tight in his paw. He stared down at the lynx, a mass murderer, a traitor. He looked around at his soldiers, standing unsure. His grip loosened, he relaxed and calmed. He put the gun back into its holster, and straightened himself up.
"Don't worry. I'm fine," He punched the lynx's head. "I'm fine," he punches again. "It's this murderer who isn't FINE!" He leaped at the cat, pushing him to the ground before pounding into his face. The soldiers on the catwalk rushed in, pulling the officer back. He struggled; thrashing wild. The lynx manouvered onto his front, then pushed himself up to his knees as he was before; ready for judgement.  

Eventually the officer calmed down once more.
"Sorry," he said. The team looked to eachother, then slowly released him. He looked upon the cat, still submissive. The officer furrowed his brow, staring, examining the cat. He shook the thoughts away, and looked around the cargo bay. "Arrest them all." The soldiers put up their guns.

[KittKat chunky~]

Kate and the marines watched the officer with trepidation, this guy seemed unhinged.... when he announced the arrest a few of the marines flinched instinctively for weapons at their sides, only to realise they where unarmed..... Kate looked to her assembled squad and shrugged, these soldiers where the law, and Marines could be arrested.... willingly or not....

Flicking her fringe out of her eyes she slid the small side-arm down the back of her combat khaki trousers.... anyone reaching down there would have a LOT more to worry about than just finding the pistol....  

Smirking at that last though she brought her paws out from behind her back, now empty, and put them defiantly on her hips and flicked her fringe to one side...
"We give ourselves up..... peacefully..... SIR...."

[Shinzuu Katame: Her Tolfy]

Korius tightened his body and took the hits. As the upward kick came in, he threw his head back and hugged the leg. "Gotcha!!" Korius jumped forward, clutching Howl's leg, and bringing it all the way over and onto the mat.

The soldiers walked round the bay, handcuffing people with little resistance. The meerkat grumbled as he held out his hands. He looked around his ship, admiring its construction. A few soldiers walked back to the crew quarters corridor, finding Max holding Tina. She had been crying non stop and her face was wrecked. The meerkat walked with the soldiers.
"Do what they say," he said to his crewmen. They obliged, though Tina could barely hear anything, she wasn't focusing. Max had to hold out her hands. The whole entourage walked back through the ship to the airlock, which opened up to the GA transport. They filed in to the dark, crampt, little steel furnished ship. It had a fat rear end which acted as a brig and most of the Admiration crew and passengers were funnelled into it, which activated energy barriers that closed behind them. The walls were flat and cameras with microphones surrounded them in their box. Next door to them, in sealed chambers, the Captain stood in his own cell, and the lynx was in one next to that.

Back aboard the flagship of the GA, the vulpine communications officer recieved a message from the transport.
"GA-D millenium calling GA Demolition. We have returning with high priority prisoners. Primary target is not aboard, repeat primary target is not aboard, suggest ship strip," said one of the helmsman of the little transport.
"Roger that Millenium," said the fox, "Come on back, we'll send a team over to the ship for a full work over."

Kate sat with her back against the cell wall, chewing her gum with ferocity...... sitting around with nothing to do made her... snappy... to say the least....
"Sir.... you know whats gonna happen?"
Kate looked over at the marine who had spoken, he was a short scarlet furred fox, his fur colour was a bright contrast to his dark grey and steel-blue camouflage reliefs... he was also one of the newest additions to the squad... she chewed the gum for a few more moments before answering..
"Son... we're the Colonial Marine Core.... whatever happens, we come out on top... remember that..."
The fox nodded, aparantly reassured, and turned back to staring blankly at the opposite wall.... Kate went back to the chewing of her gum, sliding out the same pack of dog eared cards she had taken earlier...
"Anyone for a game?..."

[HowlTheGrayWolf]

Being a bit surprised by his moves, Howl was a bit dazed to see Korius still standing from that combo. "Dang, Korius, I can't seem to get any good hits on ya, guess I should learn a bit more, but that's what this training is for...could you kindly let my leg go now?"
