Started From The Bottom
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eEpDiHNoSkw )Danny would be walking the streets of D1 at this time, blasting this music in his portable speaker. He was feeling rather spiffy today. He’d be strutting down the street in his new clothes. He was happy that he wasn’t a bum anymore. He’d been fucking a cydriod, living in a nice house with his best pal, and joined a pretty cool gang, full of cool people. He’ start cryp walking down the side walk, shuffling his feet and nodding to the music. Twising and turning, and bumping into random people, but he didn’t care. He was happy. You coud hear his music a mile away, as he smiled, and turned acting like a hard ass. He’d come to a cross walk, and began make shift moonwalking into the road, when “BLAM”. Danny was hit by a taxi, and crashed straight face first into the window shield. “Kid are you okay oh my god!!!” The woman driver steped out, and pulled danny from the windshield. Danny would shake his head, and speak with a daze in his voice. “I-I’m all beans and gravy cap’n jack sparrow!!” Danny would get up, and dust himself off, shaking his head a few times to get himself back together. “Ahh….How to kill boredom. I could hit Claymore up and see what he’s up to…I would hang with amy but she’s always on Densuke’s jock.” Danny would be standing in the middle of the road, completely oblivious to the honking horns of people wanting to go by him. He was holding up traffic pretty well one might add, but he just shrugged and continued his walk, starting his song over. He’d keep walking only to see an Asian man sitting on the side walk polishing his sword. Odd. One doesn’t see someone so casual about their sword polishing…Danny would walk over and squat down infron of the man. “Nice Katana. Stainless steel I take it?” The man with black hair, shaggy at that would look up at Danny and nod. “Yep. My pride and joy. You a swordsman I take it?” Danny shook his head. “Nah. White lotus province of martial arts. Never been a weapons man, but I can use a broad sword decently. I don’t prefer to though…Not really a violent guy unless it’s a spar.” The aisan man laughed to himself. “Ah I like that. Care to buy a blade? I’ve got plenty for sale.” Danny would tilt his head as the Asian man unrolled a roll full of swords and spears and bladed weapons alike. Danny’s eyes lit up. “Well sweet mother of god let me browse around here!!!”

Preperation
xXAyperosXx: Ayperos was atop the side of a building in district two, he had been training himself since that beating he had got a few days ago. He was a bit sweaty though he had been training for a few hours, but not useing any chi. basicly he had been working on his cardio and strength, so his top abd weapons were off to the side as he punches and kick at nothing, with each movement you would see each muscle tensing. He then threw a devistating combo of punches. If someone was standing there they would have just gotted a few quick jabs to the face, an elbow to the chest and then his forarm across the face. And after that he would send a fast flurry of kicks and then start to flip back, multipile times all the way to the edge and stop on both hands, just proforming a handstand. He then starts to go down and then back up, now basicly doing an upsidedown push up. And keeps doing them for a while. But then a device on his wrist goes off and still on one hand presses the button with his nose and Wilson pops up on the screen. "I've found a way you can get to Densuke. He has a friend by the name of Danny Chan. I want you to get the info out of him. Find out were he is hiding. beat it out of him, I don't care. I want that info. I'm sending you a picture and his current location now." The picture and location appeared on the screen. "Get this done. I want that girl." Wilson then hung up and Ayperos bent his back and onto his feet straight up and started to put on his new under armer, as well as some sort of pauldron on his shoulders. they were barley nowticable though. After doing so he put on his jacket and pulled up his mask. Now putting on his weapons And now his improve bombs that actual detinated only a few seconds after they are activated.. He pulled up this kids location once again and looked. He was in D2 just as Ayperos was. And look at his luck, a row of building on the way. Ayperos smiled and then took off runing jumping from building top to building top to reach his destination. This time, as long as he could help it, it will not end like last time. Not again. "This time. If anything, they will know I'm no pushover..." He started to run even faster And reaches his destination after but a few minutes. He stands at the edge of the building looking down and spots the boy. Looking at weaponry from an asian man on the sidewalk. But he decides to hang back. Wait till the kid is alone.

A Gift
“SHING!” Would be the noise made as Densuke would draw the broad sword from it’s sheath. (http://cdn2.bigcommerce.com/server3300/e08a1/products/1909/images/1957/1606PP__84205.1333504695.1280.1280.jpg ) It was jet black, the blade, the hilt, the very lot of it. “This is custom made isn’t it. Traditional Chinese swords aren’t this stylized. Or this sturdy. Their usually flimsy.” Danny would comment. The young Asian man would point at danny and nod. “correct you are. This is American made. Meant to be absolutely sturdly, but feel the weight? It’s meant to be light weight, and portable. You like it White lotusman? Take it.” Danny would sheath the sword. “Whoa, no thanks ahaha. Not a swordsman like I said. I prefer bare handed combat if it can be helped.” The Asian man would smile and laugh. “Simply display it then. Or give it to a friend who you feel may benefit from it. It’s your choice really.” Danny would sigh. “Fine I’ll accept it. Thanks guy. If I see you again I’ll throw some tanz your way.” Danny would moonwalk backwards, walking away form the man. “Smell ya later biz-ro” Danny would smile, and strap the sword on his back, now making his way down the dark street. “Better head on back to Densuke’s place for some grub. I’m starving..and I don’t even have the money for a cab. Ugggh my bum roots are showing again.” Danny would his stomach as he continued down the street, passing by buildings, and areas, until he came across an empty lot, tha lead to a parking space building, that asecneded 10 stories up. “I can get to higher grounds from there, make this trip easier….or steal a car.” A cartoonishly devilish grin would spread across danny’s lips, as he walked through the lot.

Where Are They!?!?...
xXAyperosXx: He would tail Danny and see him go into the open lot. "Perfect." Is all he said as he took a mad dash and jumped off the top of the building and across the road. He had resantly gotted those jet boots that Wilson had, but black of course and he almost never used them, unless slowing his fall. Turning them on only for a second and he then lands infront of Danny on his knee and then slowly stands straight up and eyes him with his bright blue hues. Ayperos waits for him to notice him and turn off his music. "Danny Chan... I have a few questions for you... "He closes his eyes and the opens them now crossing his arms over his chest. "I need you to tell me were Densuke is. and please just give me the info.. There is no need for a fight about this. All I want is the information." he looks at him, still with the same bright eyes, but looking into them, they seemed more dark, as if a monster were trying to claw its way out and would at anymoment. Bloodshed,death and greed was all that could be seen in his eyes.

Danny would continue blasting his music, and approaching the end of the lot when suddenly a wild strange man appeared. Danny would stop in his tracks, and turn his music off, eyeing the man semi seriously for a second…only to have his serious look fade with the next few words he spoke. “You must be some sort of secret messenger, in which case I do not know where your mother is. I’m aware we kinaped he- oh dear god, wrong person SORRY.” Danny would pause listening to his offer of questions..concerning Densuke. This made Danny’s brow furrow a bit “Densuke, Densuke, Densuke. That guy gets enough attention as is, my god, don’t you people want Keyth? Or hey what about me? I’m pretty snazzy if I do say so myself.” Danny would strike a feminine pose, placing one hand behind his back, and the other on his hip, tooting his butt outward a bit and making a kissy face, and winking at the mysterious stranger. If one looked closely they would see sparkles and hearts, surrounding Danny’s head. Danny would then stiffen up after a few moments of kissey faces and speak sternly. “In any case, uh…aren’t you that guy who   came to our hideout and like. Blew up Keyth, and fought Densuke for some hot chick? You must be pretty desperate to try and track down his friends and gain info hm?” Danny would scrath the back of his right calf with his left foot. “Well? Ask away, and I might tell you something. Probably not, but that’ll make it even better!” Danny would sit down, in a criss cross apple sauce like fashion, and look at the man waiting to hear what he had to say.

xXAyperosXx: His face never changes the entire time as the kid makes a fool of himself. Instead he waits for him to get to the point, listening to him. And waits for him to get through. This kid was in the same group as Keyth? does he just hire kids off the streets or something. He thinks this as they boy finishes. May give me info? There is no may to it. He will or will face the worst thing that ever stood infront of him. "Well, my only question for you is Were does he live? Second is why does he keep this girl?" He looks at him, his eyes not blinking nor a single muscle in his body even moveing, it looked as though a statue stood infrong of him. The only thing that made him look human was his spikey hair mov3ing in the wind and those bloodthursty blue eyes, seeming to stare deep into his soul.

Danny would inhale and exhale softly. “I’m not gonna give away a man’s address. That’s gay as hell. BAHAHAHA!” Danny would laugh a bit and wipe a tear from his eye. “Secondly, the girl is his “hostage”. But I beilive he’s growing attached to her. It makes sense. Dudes never had any real female compansion ship, and well he’s nice enough. He’s always going on how guys like Wilson take advantage of people that have nothing to do with this life. This life of killing you guys do. She’s a sweet girl and you guys should leave her alone.” Danny would nod and smile, staying sitting down and now corssing his arms, looking like a child throwing a temper tantrum. “Now, that I’ve answered   your questions you may leave my sights good sir!” Danny would speak with a birttish accent, and waft the mysterious stranger away, with a hand gesture of false royalty. “Besides, as long as Densuke’s around, none of you guys are even gonna get near that chick so count that out. Wasting your time my friend.” Danny would smile and rock and back and forth, waiting for another reply, smiling like a bumbling idiot.

Cookies!!!
xXAyperosXx: He looks at Danny. Still unmoving, why don't they understand that she belongs to us. And will come back no matter the cost. "Look kid, she belongs to us. If you people would just hand her over, no bloodshed will have to be done. But it seems that what all of you want." He was lieing of course. as soon as they had the girl, they would all possably be hunted down for all the trouble they had put them through. "Now I ask you my first question again... Where does he live, or rather where is the girl. Just end the bloodshed and tell me." He looked at the boys smile, he seemed as though he was completly insane. "And it will happen. For if it wasn't for your leader Keyth..." he closes his eyes and opens them slowly, the death in his eyes being even more intence, as well as his voice grow cold. "I would have killed Densuke.."

Danny would be scratching the back of his head, listening to this man talk with patience. After he was finished Danny would dig in his ear, and pick out some wax, flicking it to the side. “No offense, but I don’t think you truly grasp the concept of what that boy is capable of. You thought Keyth was tough? He’s the aniki for a reason ya know. Killing him is like trying to kill that one guy, Tetsu…Tetsu….Ryoji I think? Some big time supercop guy or whatever I don’t know.” Danny would stand up, with a backflip, and land on his feet, only to stand up straight once again and put his hands in his pockets. “Felicity isn’t your property. She’s a human being, with the ability to make choices. Not only that but she’s under Arasumaru protection now. If you try to harm one of our Nakama, it’s our civil duty to defend. I am a pacifist, so I do not fight for the violence of it all.” Danny would   look at the assailant with a sturdy look. “However if you wish to spar, I will gladly oblige. You beat me I gives you my word I will tell you all you want to know. You loose, and well. You must buy me cookies. Chocolate chip.” Danny would smirk and get down in a shaolin style fighting stance. Stretching his legs outward, and crouching low, placing his right arm outward and forward, with an open palm, and his left arm would be high in the air, with the palm facing upwards. Danny’s years of shaolin training and knowledge would give him confidence to face an opponent if need be. “Again I don’t want a fight to the death, so I shall think of this as a friendly spar. Come at me as you wish however. Now then prepare to buy me the chewy deliciousness that is COOKIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEES!!!!!!” Danny would yell out, as he’d await to see what his now “opponent” would do.

It Begins..
xXAyperosXx: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_eqDbmOiRQ )) Ayperos smiles as the kid underestimates him. And then watches him after he gets done speaking and gets down in an obvious shaolin style stance. He had only seen a few, but faced even fewer. But he was indeed prepaired as he took off his weapons and set them to the side. It seemed as though he was honoring the boys "friendly spar" But he was just as deadly hand-to-hand than he was with any of his weapon. He then stands there, his head slightly tilted with a devilish smile under his mask and his eyes still the same, but for a split second looked as though the flashed bright red. But only for a second. Ayperos never beleived in friendly spars, for anytime he had to draw his weaons someone had to bleed or die. And this even ment hand-to-hand, then without a single word he jolts at Danny, his eyes fashing from blue to red as he ran.. This only seemed to make him go even faster as he charged in full speed, this speed being, well not human and once he got close enough he jumps and spins a bit, sending a powerful flying side kick at Danny's face, The impact would cause Danny to either it the ground or fly back a bit, With a normal person this would have been hard enough to break bone. If blocked it would not only cause brusing but also cause him to slide back. But if dodge Ayperos would hit the ground with both feet and spin one way, sending his forarm at his face, then spin the other way sending his other forarm in the same direction on the other side. Ayperos would follow up this move by stepping back a bit and then putting chi in his arms, buldging the muscles in his arms and then lunges forword with both arms, his fists put together and aim it at Danny's chest, but not only would the force of his strength his him, but also as Ayperos fists came in contact he would send chi along with it. This force would most likly blow Danny back a few feet, even if blocked would do the same. As well as leave bruses.All the time he was preforming this his mind would be on the memory off seeing his love dieing in his arms and he not being able to do nothing about it.. And from that to a few days ago when he was defeated by Keyth. This just puts him into a horrid rage state, He was ready for anything. After this was done Ayperos would stand ther once more, the smile still on his face.He seemed as though he was a completly different person now, not only from his movement, but just by the look in his eyes and if looking close enough one would see a single red spark go across his face, only the trained would be able to see what was happening to him, what darkness was starting to take him over. It was indeed Satsui No Hadou And if this kept up, he could soon loose himself.

Danny would hold fast on his stance observing that his opponent had put down his own weaponry. Honor amongst thugs and thieves looks like it. Danny would watch as the man’s eyes changed a color, and he made his charge. He first came at Danny with a flying spin kick. The entire time he preformed his motion, Danny would be formulating his next counter move, attack,   his opponents motion, and possible opportunities for recovery and follow ups. Danny would simply take this kick that came his way. His durability was not only high enough to tank a well bit of it by letting the blow roll off of his   face, but I would keep him within the trapping range of his opponent, seeing as how how flying attacks are often combed, and in this case Danny was right. The man would follow up with with a forearm strike. Since Danny was able to hold his ground during the first assault, and only slide back a few feet with..”Odd” (http://yakuza-mob-roleplay.wikia.com/wiki/Danny_%22Daniel%22_Chan#Odd_Durability.C2.A0 )durability, Danny would raise his own elbow block, to deflect one forearm, and following his opponents flow of combat, he would throw up his other opposite elbow block. His arms indeed stung, but he was used to it thanks to his many years of martial arts training, as any martial artist would be. Danny would then   pick up that his opponent was charging chi of some sort. This put danny on alert, as he knew he would have to retaliate aocrdingly or take a massive blow. As such his peak human reflexes are at the peak of Human Potential and Perfection; this means that their reactions are superior to those of normal humans and are near-superhuman. They can catch a fired arrow in midair, dodge offensive attacks, and perform amazing physically defensive feats; They would stand a small chance against super-speed foes, can dodge point blank gunfire form low grade fire arms. (http://yakuza-mob-roleplay.wikia.com/wiki/Danny_%22Daniel%22_Chan#Peak_Human_Reflexes ). At the very last moment right before the double fisted thrust would make impact, danny would spin his body to the right. Avoiding the attack completely, but continuing his spin only to leap up with a flying spinning round house kick amied at his opponents forehead/ eye region. Should this kick hit, it would have enough force to cuase a massive sized bruse to his crainial area, and possible swelling at that, and also cuase a vauge feeling of nasuia and dizziness, added to it, it would send his body flying back 5 feet across the ground. If the kick missed, for whatever reason, even with it’s unexpectedness, Danny would’ve still sucessefully dodged the attack and have gone on the offensive, by steping in, keeping deadly close to his opponent, and throwing two powerful jabs with both arms. Two jabs from the left arm and two jabs from his right arm, both aimed at his opponents nose. Should either of these jabs hit, blood would ineeded be draw, and the nose would recive signifigant pain, if the opponent wasn’t tough enough to take this kind of thing. All in all a head shot is a head shot, and it would cuase stumbling for certain. Danny would follow up after the attempted jabs, hit or miss, and attempt to jump and grab (at the same time here) the opponent by his hair, and deiliver an aided flying knee towards the opponents chin mask. Though it was protected, danny would be counting on the force of the knee itself to rock his opponent stunned, as the force was enough to almost cuase a violent concussion of sorts, and even cuase signifigant strain on the neck. If this attack was sucessfful the opponent would be met with an arieal   spinning right footed back kick from Danny, which would pack nothing but sheer power behind it, sending his opponent flying backwards, 3 feet at the most, but it was the impact on the chest would would bruise the muscles subtuley, and cuase a dangerous sensation of chest pain. If the knee missed, Danny was fully prepared to defend himself from what ever position he may find himself in. If there was one thing about him it’s that he could take a massive as whoping, and return the favor if he wanted to.

xXAyperosXx: The boy seemed a bit dumb but was indeed skilled. Ayperos expected Danny to take the first kick, and with the rest of his combo being blocked and the last being dodged. The smile still on his face as his body seemed really limber and as Danny came in with the kick to the face Ayperos simply bent back, as he had been very flexible to begin with. He then came up and looked at him seeing the two jabbs comeing and moves his head over, Danny's fist just brushing the side of his face, and does the same with the next two, brushing the side of his face as well. Ayperos then watch him as Danny would jump up in attempt to grab his hair, but would try and grab his arms. If this was able to happen Ayperos eyes would stay a blood bright red and with the chi still in his arms he would then slam Danny back to the ground with great force. And weither he landed on he feet or not, Ayperos would send a swift kick at Danny's chest if he was standing, and at it face if he had landed on the ground. The kick would be hard enough to send Danny back if he landed on his feet but if he landed on the ground face first and took the kick in the face it would not only be hard enough to bruse and swell but also be hard enough to flip him onto his back. If this happened Ayperos would stand there waiting. But if it only pushed Danny back he would rush him and send a flurry of bunches at him, they were all aimed of course. but as he then would jump up and sent a devistationg knee at Danny's chin. All these moves seem to be slowly increasing in speed and strength. As ayperos eyes now glow red, as well as a random red spark shoot across him every now and then.. In his mind, Ayperos will not lose to this kid, he needs the info, and he will get it no matter what costs, no matter what he has to do.

Danny thought his attempted knee would be successful, as for his other attacks, but just like he had seen on that day at the hideout, this man was leathal with or without weapons in hand. Danny would be grabed and met with a hard slam to the ground. “OOF!” would be the noise Danny made as spittal left his mouth on impact. A roaring pain in his back only tolerable because he was tough,but still equally painful. The kick that came towards danny’s face however, was dodged by Danny using an mma maneuver called the “shrimp” which is shuffling ones body weight over, by moving the hips and upper body one after another   (tribute to the great pallas :D) to move on the ground with little effort. Danny would recover himself and roll backwards to stand himself up, taking his shaolin like stance once again and facing his opponent, analyzing him still even with his body numbing itself in pain. His opponent then rushed him, with a flurry of blows and attacks, all pin pointed at target areas. (since none were specified off bat and assuming it’s all one attack instead of separate specified areas) Danny would bob, weave, and occasionally receive a blow to the stomach and the chest every now and then. He’d take it in stride and continue the fight accordingly, every blow building up accordingly. If he didn’t act soon he would’ve taken to much damage…That’s when opportunity struck him like a lighting bolt. The man had leapt up in the air to deliver a flying knee…the man went airborne, and danny’s instincts as a fighter kicked in..he had flashback of when Densuke   preformed this same aerial maneuver. The counter he had planned was accurate and almost deadly. Danny would duck and dash forward, ducking the knee completely, and in that same instant, he would leap into the air with his back to his opponents back. Once this was done, Danny would attempt in one maneuver to grab his opponent, in a neck breaker like hold, wrapping   his right arm around the neck, and grasping the head with his left arm, securing the neck, and applying the pressure of a choke in mid air. This was still not all that was in store. Once the neck was secure, Danny would begin twisting his own body, and his opponents body in mid air, as they descended to the right in their spinning direction. The two would twirl once..twice…three solid times, before almost hitting the ground. Danny however had an insane amount of agility and balance, and before both of them would hit the ground, Danny would accelerate his own twisting motion faster than what his opponents was. Danny would then land in a squat, unleashing a final twist on his opponents neck region. This would cause his opponent to be slammed back first on the ground, but this isn’t the main cause of pain. The opponents neck would be twisted with Danny’s final twisting motion, added to the previous momentum of the descending spinning neck breaker, the very impact of   of the final “twist” would almost snap his opponents neck in multiple places. In actuality Danny was very merciful, as he made sure to secure the head on the way down of the spinning decent, for if he had let it loose, the neck would’ve snapped instantly, but in this case the opponent’s neck would be severly sprained and on the very edge of snapping ITSELF should they even attempt to move their head without proper medical attention or assistance. Not only that but the sprain would have an adverse effect on the nerves of his body, sending a shooting pain down his spinal cord, and to the rest of his mid bodied section. (To be frank you did dodge more than three times in your last post, so this is my auto hit on the situation at hand..) With this the opponent shouldn’t be able to move, let alone properly get up without killing themselves, and added with the nausea of spinning, and body pain, the opponent could only do further harm by attempting to continue to fight. Even if they could, it would only take a few more precise strikes to further weaken the neck area. Added to the surprise of the counter this entire move was a game ender in itself, but anything is particularly possible. After this move was attempted and successfully preformed (again out of dodges here and a mid air counter) Danny would take a few steps back and look at his opponent with his shining shimmery silver eyes. “Leave Felicty and my friends alone…Tell that to your boss and whoever else your running with..OH MY GOD ARE YOU OKAY! BAD DAY, BAD DAY, BAD DAY!!! OH GOD!...LOOK IMMA CALL THE PARAMEDICS OKAY!?” Danny would step back keeping an eye on the man, hopefully his will power would keep him alive long enough. Danny would dial up the paramedics. “We’re on our way, stay there okay?” Danny would nod and then hang up. “Fuck that, I an’t going to jail on no Friday night for some assassian. TURN UP!” Danny would then slowly make his way into the car lot building, and begin ascending the ramps, at a jogging pace. “Great spar by the waaaaaaaay!!!!” Danny would yell out running to avoid the cops.

xXAyperosXx: Ayperos is grabbed and choked. He wasn't quick enough and this will cost him as he is taken to the air and spun several times before hiting the ground. The pain shooting through his body would be almost unbarable as he lays on the ground his eyes closed now to try and ignore the pain. He listens to the kid as he speaks of leaving his friends alone and then siad something about Turn up? TURN UP! He lays there the injury making it impossible for him to fight.. "Little bastard.."He lays there for a few moments and then opens his eyes for only few moments. "Seems like I'm still not good enough.." He closes his eyes they pain making it impssible for him to even move. He could then hear the ambulance and feel them walk over. They keeling hiss neck, making sure he was still alive and asking him questions, but he didnt reply as they pulled off his mask and put on a neck brace and carfully lifts him up on the stretcher putting him in the back of the ambulance. The cops that had come up gets his weapons and Ayperos is aable to see before he then passes out right before they close the door. They then started to run him to see who he was as they raced to the hospital.. They then look at Ayperos then at the computer. "This man according to the computer.. This Is Ayperos Akiyama.. but, hes been pressumed dead for five years now.." The man looks at Ayperos As they finally get to the hospital and get him to the ER.

Why Her...
Danny would reach the top of the car lot building, limping a good bit. “Ah..I see why Densuke had trouble with this one. He didn’t even use his gear either…ahhh.” Danny would make his way over to the ledge, and take a seat against an air conditioning unit. It was cool tonight. Really cool. Danny would lean his head back and let his body throb in pain and strain. “Ah I’ll navigate back to Desnuke’s place in the morning. I’m tired and it’s as late as all will get out. Time for some rest…I have to make sure I tell D and Keyth that these guys arent’ going to stop until they get this girl..why is she so important? And Why are you protecting her so feverishly Densuke….eh..” Danny would drift off to sleep, thanks to his old bummish instincts of falling asleep in assorted places from his hobo days. While he did miss his bed, the cold pavement served as a reminder that danny would never forget his roots or where he came from. He’d be interrupted shortly however by a phone call. “Yello, Danny speaking.” “WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU! PRACTICES WAS AN HOUR AGO!” Amy’s voice would be blarring over the phone in pure anger at Danny. He had missed group rumnle practice. “…..Bad day.” Danny would lean his head back in silence as Amy rambled on the phone.
