"I can see it."
Xavier says
"Xavi…"
"…"
"Wha-what can you see…"
Rin says softly staring deep into his eyes
"I can see…"
"An opening."
Xavier says calmly.
"…"
"Xavi…"
Rin thinks mesmerised by his eyes
"…"
"X-Xavi--"
"AAAAH F*CK!"
The man says getting up from the ground
"Huh?"
Rin exclaims turning back to him
"You sure hit hard I'll give you that kid."
The man says wiping the blood off his nose as Xavier gets ready to go again
(spits blood)
"But y'know what…"
He says
"I hit harder."
zzzzzOOOOOMMMM!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!BOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"AAH!"
Rin exclaims covering her eyes as more sand is thrown into the air!!!!
"XAVI!!!"
She thinks in a panic
"…"
-silence-
"…"
"Well what do you know."
The man's voice can be heard from inside the formed dust cloud right beside Rin.
"I guess that sudden burst of pressure wasn't just for show then."
He says as the dust finally clears to unveil Xavier in a cross armed block stance having tanked the man's punch!!!!
"Xavi!"
"Rin you need to get out of here."
Xavier says seriously cutting Rin off
"But--"
"Don't bother."
Rin is about to say something before she is cut off by the man this time who retracts his fist?!?!
"…"
"What are you doing?"
Xavier asks seriously
"I like you kid."
The man says standing upright
"Not every day one of my fists gets tanked."
"And by a kid no less."
The man says
"You've got potential."
He says
"And so?"
Xavier asks
"And so I want you to come work for us."
The man says seriously
"Well… me to be specific."
He says
"Yeah?"
"Do tell who exactly is this 'us'."
Xavier asks
"TSS."
The man says
"The Silverback Society."
He says seriously
"…"
-silence-
"…"
"Silverback?"
Xavier thinks
"I know I've heard that somewhere…"
He thinks
(Crowd Mumbles)
("Did you hear that??")
(Crowd Mumbles)
("The Silverbacks want to recruit this little chump?")
(Crowd Mumbles)
("But he's just a street rat.")
(Crowd Mumbles)
("I say good on him, maybe we can finally get rid of them.")
"…"
"Xavi…"
Rin thinks at the development
"…"
Xavier looks to his left and to the worried Rin.
"…"
"Mister--"
"Murdock."
"Right Mr. Murdock."
"…"
"So you expect me to just forget all that you've done to me?"
"To my friend?"
Xavier asks the man named Murdock
"…"
"Tsk."
"She's the daughter of a whore."
Murdock says as Rin flinches.
"I don't see why you'd concern yourself with the lives of these disgusting pigs."
"If anything she's destined to go down the same path as her mother wouldn't you agree?"
He says coldly making Rin turn her gaze away as Xavier looks to her.
"…"
(sighs)
"But if she means that much to you we can give her mother enough money to allow her quit her disgusting job."
"And as for her…"
"Well you can take her as your wife, or lover or whatever."
"It makes no difference to me."
Murdock says looking to Rin
"I'd rather not lose a talent like yours over something this petty."
He says seriously to Xavier who glances to Rin once more.
"…"
-silence-
"…"
"Is that so…"
Xavier says sombrely facing the sky
"In that case Mr. Murdock…"
"…"
"I respectfully decline your offer."
Xavier says
"Much as it might help my current stay and Rin's mother."
"It's not my place to meddle in affairs of others."
He says softly
"That being said."
He pauses
"What type of person would I be if I turned away from my friend when she's in tears."
He says as a wave of emotion hits Rin.
"Xavi…"
She thinks warmly as she stares at the small boy defending her honour against someone almost twice his size.
"Thank you."
She thinks
(Crowd Mumbles)
("WHOA! WHOA! WHOA! Did he really just refuse??")
(Crowd Mumbles)
("That was a great offer y'know.")
(Crowd Mumbles)
("The Silverbacks are a huge organisation!")
(Crowd Mumbles)
("What's gonna happen now??")
"…"
"Xavi…"
Rin thinks sombrely
"Is that so…"
Murdock looks to the ground disappointed
"Hm."
Xavier nods his head
"I see…"
"…"
-silence-
"…"
"Well you leave me no choice."
Murdock mumbles as Xavier stiffens where he stands
"If the silverbacks can't have you."
"You shouldn't be allowed to grow."
He says
"Boys get him."
Murdock says turning away when just then…
sssshhhHHHWWWIII!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!BOOOOOOOMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Craig and Darue rush Xavier at the same time!
Craig with a blow aimed for his head and Darue a sweeping kick at the legs!!
But to their surprise Xavier is already mid-air!!!!
Twisting to kick Craig in the chest before spinning and landing his knee to Darue's head in quick fashion!!!!!!
!!!!!!BAM!!!!!!
!!!!!!BAM!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!BOOOOOOOMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The sand spreads as both men are taken out!!!
"…"
(sighs)
"What a bunch of idiots."
Murdock says turning his gaze slowly back
"It doesn't have to be this way kid."
Murdock says
"It already is."
Xavier responds coldly
(Crowd Mumbles)
("Are they going to fight??")
(Crowd Mumbles)
("The kid is actually tough")
(Crowd Mumbles)
("Guess this all ends here…")
"…"
-silence-
"…"
"Fine."
Murdock says turning.
"…"
"ZZzzzZZ....."
".....ZZzzzZZ"
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!BOOOOOOOMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All the sand is thrown into the air as Xavier and Murdock collide!!!!
("!!!!!!!!AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!")
"XAVI!!!!"
The crowd and Rin shout as the burst of pressure is the biggest one yet!!
"ACK!"
"HM!!"
Xavier and Murdock exclaim respectively as Xavier is thrown back!!!!
"Tsk."
Xavier clicks his tongue as he flips back to land on his feet.
"…."
"I told you kid."
"Being a little flashy means nothing in the face of real power."
Murdock says as the sand falls to the ground ever so slow.
"I don't know about flashy, am just trying to win."
Xavier says in response clutching his forearm that throbs in pain from the impact.
"Yeah whatever."
Murdock says
"Focus Xavi."
"You can see it now."
"You just have to make sure to move before he does."
Xavier thinks
"Focus…"
"Foc--"
"HUH?!!"
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!BOOOOOOOMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"HE'S FAST!!!!"
Xavier thinks recoiling as he just barely blocks another blow!!!!!!
"X-XAVI!"
Rin shouts!
But alas….
"Ack!!!!"
Xavier exclaims in pain?!!
The force of the blow… is too strong!!
"CRAP!"
Xavier's arms buckle and a hard right connects to his chest!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!BOOOOOOOMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"AARGH!!!"
Xavier exclaims in pain! Flying slowly through the air!!!
"SO STRONG!!!"
Xavier thinks
"If I don't roll to break my fall this could be really bad!"
He thinks
"…"
"Thinking of how you're going to land already??"
Murdock says cutting in sinisterly
"Who said I was done?"
"CRAP! THIS ISN'T GOOD!!!"
"XA-XAVI!!!!!"
"Hm."
vwooooooOOOOO….
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!BOOOOOOOMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!BOOOOOOOMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!BOOOOOOOMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!BOOOOOOOMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!BOOOOOOOMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"ACK!!!!!!!"
Xavier exclaims as a rain of fists are lodged deeply into his chest and gut!!!!!
!!!!!BAM!!!!!'
Xavier bounces up off the ground and floats to the sky!!!
"Feel the power of a true Silverback!!"
Murdock shouts jumping up after Xavier's lifeless body
("PA!!!!!!!!")
("Souls")
"ONE!!!!!!"
Murdock shouts
!!!!!!!!!!BZZZZT!!!!!!!!!!
"UURAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!"
He shouts powering up his right hand before….
SssshhhhhhIIIIIINNNNGGGGGGG!!!!
("!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!XAVI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!")
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!BOOOOOOOMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"ACK AaAh--"
Xavier is hit square in the gut!!!!!!!!
…
…
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!BOOOOOOOMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Spewing blood as he is sent straight back down to a thunderous explosion!!!!!
("!!!!!!!!AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!")
The crowd shouts as everyone is sent to the ground by the pressure.
("35%")
Focussed ('souls') straight to the gut….
"…"
-silence-
"…"
"r-rin…"
Xavier thinks, eyes nearly shut staring to Rin as the crowd begins to stand once more…
"rin…"
He thinks when he notices Murdock walk towards her…
"Take the kid."
"If he survived that he could still be of use to us."
Murdock says approaching Rin who appears to be shouting something
"...rin…"
Xavier thinks…
Before it all fades to black.
"…"
"…"
-A Couple Days Later-
"…"
-silence-
"…"
"Where am i?"
Xavier thinks…
"Did I lose?"
He thinks…
"Well why am I surprised…"
He thinks.
"Not like I ever win…"
He thinks…
"…"
-silence-
"…"
"Am sorry Rin."
He thinks…
"It seems no matter what I do I can't help anyone…"
He thinks.
"Rin…"
He thinks…
"….Please be safe…."
"…Rin…"
"…Rin…"
"!!!!!RIN!!!!!"
Xavier shouts himself awake!!!!
"Wh-what the… where am--"
"AAH! ACK! AAAahhh…"
He exclaims in pain clasping his gut to see it all bandaged up
"Did someone take care of my wounds?"
He thinks looking down…
"Well It doesn't matter I need to get outta here and--"
"I wouldn't do that if I were you…."
Xavier wants to stand when he is interrupted by a quirky brash voice.
"HUH???"
!!!!BAM!!!!
"OW!!!"
Xavier exclaims jumping back in a start before hitting his head against the wall
"Whoa there."
The man says cheekily
"WHO- WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?!!!"
Xavier asks shouting.
"hm…"
"Well aren't you a rude one."
The man says snarky, standing up from where he is sat beside Xavier's bed.
"Just answer the question!"
Xavier asks.
"…"
"Well if you must know I'm the one who patched you up."
The man says
"Huh?"
Xavier looks himself over, and realizing his is completely in the nude his cheeks flush alittle.
"That!- That isn't an answer."
"Yes, yes little big man."
The man responds cheekily disregarding a flushed Xavier sarcastically.
"Now onto more serious matters."
The man says
"What serious matters? Where's Rin?? Where am I and what's all this?!?!!"
Xavier panics asking all the questions that fill his head in a start as he looks the room over.
"…"
"Hm."
The man exclaims bored of the antics
"ANSWER ME!!!!!!!"
Xavier shouts
(sighs)
"If you're wondering about your little girlfriend she's fine. You have my word."
The man says
"What good is that to me?"
Xavier asks
"Well, nothing."
"But considering I patched you up and you're not dead it should."
The man says seriously
"…"
-silence-
"…"
"R-right am sorry…."
Xavier mumbles after looking himself over
"…"
"Good."
"Now that it seems like you've calmed down…."
"Huh?"
The man says returning to his sit, crossing his legs and picking a book
"I'd like to offer you a job."
The man says
"Xavier."
"Huh?"
Xavier is startled at the mention of his name
"How do you?--"
"Grey."
The man adds once more startling Xavier
"…"
-silence
"…"
"What did you say??"
Xavier asks cautious but shook
"hm."
The man exclaims smirking…
"…"
"Or should I say… "
"…"
"'Siyah'."
The man adds
"…"
-silence-
"…"
"HUUUUHHH?!?!!!!"
Xavier shouts!!!!
"Who is this man?"
Xavier thinks.
"How does he know who I am?"
He thinks..
"Where's Rin?"
He thinks!
"Did he really save me??"
He thinks!!
"But most of all…"
He thinks!!!
"WHAT'S WITH THOSE DAMN GLASSES!!!!!!"
HE THINKS!!!!!
"…"
"…"
