"Yeah... I've still got time." He said to himself.
***
Isley strode into the door of the club, waving with a big grin on his face.
"Hellooo there!" He called brightly, and counted the people he knew in the room. He could see, of course, Mortus, Blaze, and that girl who had a complicated name that he could never remember. It always reminded him of the candle in Beauty and the Beast but he couldn't for the life of him bring it up in his mind.
He just ended up shrugging and making a beeline for Blaze. She had been a year below him throughout school, and he had seen her numerous times.
"Heya there buddy. What're ya doin, just sittin there?" He asked, bending over her to peer at her over his sunglasses.
"Oh, it's you." She said in a dull voice.
She took another sip of her coke and said to the upperclassmen "This match is so intense."
Her eyes were concentrated on the arena rather than the person that was right in front of her.
She pointed at one of the fighters "See the guy there wearing that red bandana? He got body slammed so hard, the floor shook!" She said with amazement.
She folded her hands across again and shook her head "Now that's what I call an interesting fight."
“It’s too long, though,” he remarked, though it was, in reality, closer to a whine. “I mean, a fight like that takes forever… Maybe they do something interesting once in a while, but a fight like this loses its momentum pretty quickly.”
He leaned back. He might fight somebody today. But if it were only practice or something, wouldn’t he not want to hurt anyone? He usually saved fighting for when he actually had a reason for it. No, that wasn’t quite right… He liked fighting seriously better. If he was in real danger, it would be that much more fun. Isley, even admitting it to himself, was not a good person. Blaze, on the other hand, (he liked her name, so he had memorized it) seemed like she always fought for a reason, not for fun. Or maybe she was always serious about it. Isley never was all that serious when he fought. IT was why he had learned the fighting styles he had. It was fun to do a corkscrew in the air while kicking somebody. Of course, he had learned to end the fight as quickly as possible, so the fun didn’t usually last that long. It wasn’t that he was addicted to fighting or something, but… Well, he probably wasn’t too different from the rest of the people in the club. His mouth curled into a small smirk at the thought. It was quite entertaining.
Mortus stepped into the ring around the fight as the crowd grew silent. The bigger man noticed this and stopped to look at Mortus. He snorted seeing as Mortus was not all that tall or big compared to him. "The fuck do you want, freak?"
Mortus chuckled as he adjusted his gloves. "You must be new here asshole." Mortus gave the man a hard glare. "This freak in front of you is the alpha."
"Fuck that!" the man screamed. The crowd stepped back, seeing as Mortus was a little more than pissed off. They knew this would not end well for the bigger man. On the other hand, others seemed excited to see Mortus fight. They never got to see their leader fight, and today was a special occasion for them.
Freaking out she turned to Isley and said "Why the hell would he do that ?"
Her hot temper started to boil. She sat down and crossed here arms, and whispered "Damn it. It was just getting interesting "
"Idiot step aside from the ring what are you doing!?" Mortus tensed hearing Blaze shout at him and grew a little frustrated. He turned to look at her, but was stopped by the man who attempted to catch Mortus off guard. Mortus easily bent himself backwards to easily avoid the punch. The man threw his fist towards Mortus' left shoulder, but Mortus simply pivoted in one move. HE grabbed the man's wrist with one hand and his upper arm with the other. Using the man's momentum, he simple thrust him over his shoulder and flipped him so he hit the ground hard.
The crowd scream as Mortus didn't even break a sweat as he threw the man to the ground. Mortus leaned over the man and said to him calmly, "I suggest you leave before I end up making you go to the hospital with broken bones."
"Mortus....how queer.." Jeremy merely shrugged with raised eyebrows. He hopped onto a table and took out a drawing pad. With neat calligraphy, he wrote Congrats and a ":P" holding it above his head for a bit. He promptly sat back down and tried to tune out the screaming crowd, opening the glass bottle of milk left on the table unopened. "Lucky night."
All of these years that she's been to the fighting club, she's never seen Mortus fail once.
Looking around the room she saw a couple of familiar faces, only the faces of people who don't annoy her. She saw Lumi and Jeremy flipping through their notebooks,and Raine. Looking down next to her seat she saw Isley on the floor.
She rested one of her arms on the table, and rested her face on the other arm.
A sigh came out, "So, whose next? I want to see more fights." She demanded pounding her fist on the table.
"Oh I hope I don't fight, but if someone challenges me I guess i'll give it a shot.." He thought to himself. He sat there trying to puzzle what happened before he came in, he drank his 7up to calm himself down.
"Well, saw that one coming. By the way, is it always like this?" He asked, somewhat bored. "I mean, I come in pretty often, but I just noticed how many people are being kinda lazy and just sitting around watching."
He included himself in that of course, but he didn't practice much with people. Someone usually got hurt really quickly or he couldn't get interested enough and got hurt anyways. He knew himself to be a poor excuse for a fighter sometimes. He was never one to fight because he needed to, but often tried to put himself in positions where he would.
Put simply, he was an idiot.
"But being an idiot is kinda fun,' he finished the thought aloud. Or, maybe he had been talking to himself the entire time. He did that sometimes when his mind wandered. It was quite embarassing, really.
She turned her head towards the match leaning onto her right arm. "I guess..you could say it's always like this. But I find it entertaining."
She turned her head and asked Isley "Weren't you planning on fighting today..?"
She changed positions and crossed her arms, looking at her hands. "I haven't fought in a long time.." She said in an amazed voice.
She quickly turned towards Isley and grabbed his jacket " I haven't fought in a long time! What the hell?"
"So... I'm gonna go out on a limb here and assume that you grabbing me by the shirt and yelling 'what the hell?' in my face is your way of asking to fight, in which case I think I have to accept. Or is it practice fighting? I don't really know. I can't say I've seen you fight much, either." He abruptly stopped his rambling, shifting in Blaze's grip. This should be fun. Or it would be boring, but he didn't know. It depended on how long it lasted. But at least he wasn't tired now.
"Oh, yeah. If you're not about to somehow throw me by my jacket, can you put me down before we start fighting? I don't think I need to be carried to the practice area."
She didn't even ask Isley if he wanted to participate.
Blaze has never been to a group fight before, so that's why she accepted.
Her hands were crossed and went up to Jeremy's face "Oh and by the way don't call me Blair. It's Blaze around here, and everywhere else!" She poked him in the stomach.

A quick memory popped in his mind. He was pretty sure Blair got into a lot of fights. He just stood by and watched since he had no intention of helping. "I guess I was quite the coward then" He mused a bit to himself.
"Hey, you look familiar. Do I even know you? She asked the guy with ice blue hair.
"Oh yes I remember you, you are a model.. from that one magazine." She paused.
" I don't even understand why a pretty boy like yourself is doing here."

"Well, y'know, considering you look like a fairly normal high school girl, Blaze, most would ask you the same thing. Well, actually, I wonder why all three of us are here..." He trailed off, pondering the thought for a moment.
"Anyways, since I don't really know how you two fight... Ah, well." It seemed to be useless. They were dead set on a group fight. Isley wasn' exactly used to group fights, practice or not. This was bound to be... Interesting. Very interesting indeed.
