MHA: Morrow

Fight Of The Common, Chptr. 4

The fight between Cassius and Jurie is being broadcasted live, of course Clovis wants to make money off of this, class 1-A expressing their hope for Juries win in their own way, Kaika and Nanboku screaming, Gaffy talking calmly, Yasahi staring her down, Arachne projecting her voice, Kaito doing the same. 

"YOU BETTER KICK THAT 1-B'S ASS IN!" Kaika yells, using 1-B almost like a racial slur.. 

"Well Cassius, looks like my class is rooting for me pretty damn hard, yours?" Jurie asked Cassius, looking over to the Class 1-A section, winking and giving a thumbs up, before looking back to Cassius. 

"I personally, have to show off a bit here. . ." Class 1-B isn't really cheering, more like threatening Cassius to win, most of them giving the 'I'll kill you' cut throat gesture. "I'm scared they'll throw books or something at me.."

"Well then, shall we get going?" Jurie asks tapping her foot on the ground, and despite it being a question, it feels like a statement. 

"Wait for the announcer Jurie." 

"𝗛𝗘𝗟𝗟𝗢 𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗥𝗬𝗕𝗢𝗗𝗬 𝗔𝗧 𝗛𝗢𝗠𝗘 𝗢𝗥 𝗜𝗡 𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗗𝗜𝗨𝗠!! 𝗛𝗢𝗪 𝗔𝗥𝗘 𝗪𝗘 𝗔𝗟𝗟 𝗙𝗘𝗘𝗟𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗧𝗢𝗗𝗔𝗬?! 𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗗𝗬 𝗙𝗢𝗥 𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗦 𝗨𝗡𝗠𝗜𝗦𝗦𝗔𝗕𝗟𝗘 𝗙𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧?!"

"speak of the devil and he shall appear..." Jurie snappily comments 

The crowd ROARS with excitement, the stadium lights shutting off immediately after around 10 seconds of the screaming, this silences the whole crowd, then lights focus on the stadium's arena, Jurie and Cassius beginning to walk toward each other. 

"𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗹, 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘄𝗮𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿, 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝘄𝗼 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗤𝘂𝗶𝗿𝗸𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱, 𝗖𝗢𝗠𝗠𝗘𝗡𝗖𝗘𝗦!" 

With the final word, Jurie sprints toward Cassius, who's already thrown a right overhand, taking Jurie by surprise and slamming her in her face with the overhand, Jurie flings backwards, but catches herself by digging her nails into the concrete that makes up the arena, struggling to run again she slips a few times before clawing her way up like an animal, and sprinting back at Cassius, opting to go for a dropkick  this time, Cassius blocking the attack is pushed back, Jurie spins and raises her leg upwards, opting for an axe kick follow-up. 

Cassius grabs her leg and slams her into the ground, Jurie bends her caught leg to get closer to Cassius, her other leg also curling up, but extending to kick Cassius in the face, making him stagger backwards. . .his nose drips with blood, Juire standing up as she was released from his grasp, Cassius wipes his nose with his right hand as Jurie dusts herself off. 

"You're still good as ever" Cassius sneaks into the fight 

"Likewise" Jurie adds, Before running at him again, dropping low and attempting an Uppercut, dust previously spread around the bottom of the arena is split by Jurie's low form as she winds her attack up, knuckles scrapping the ground she flings up from deep below, Cassius, blocks her uppercut with a left Overhead aimed at her fist, the clash completely ridding the arena of dust, cracking the ground beneath the duo. Jurie smiling wildly, Cassius maintaining composure, he follows it up with a kick aimed at her mid section, her still dropped body is slammed and flung into the sky. Cassius calmly walks forward a bit, adjusting the black gloves he dawns, and his tie, and as Jurie falls back to the ground he readies a left straight, which connects with Jurie's stomach, causing her body to wrap around his arm, before being flung to the edge of the arena. 

"You hit way too damn hard Jurie, but you really lack any planning in combat." Cassius comments.

"Do i now?" Jurie shoots back at him "Check yer tie"

Cassius goes to reach for his tie, which is completely missing from his body, along with a few buttons from his suit. 

"Im going to have to buy a new one of those aren't I." 

"DON'T WORRY ABOUT BUYING A NEW ONE RIGHT NOW!! I'm trying to point to you that you get lost in the battle, and you didn't notice me stealing it, if that was a piece of equipment it'd have been a big ol' loss." Jurie explains

"But it wasn't so i'm not worried." Cassius is the one shooting back this time

The longest section of this fight has been them chatting, every exchange of punches has lasted maybe a second at most. Jurie stands back up, fashioning the tie around her fist, giving her something to grab onto, making any hit harder with that fist, the duo walking up to each other, before exchanging one armed rushes of blows, dodging the majority of them, and parrying any they can't dodge, the arms switch to left arms, previously being on right arms, Cassius taking the lead by getting a clean hit to her cheekbone, Jurie however ramps up the clash with dual armed rushes of blows, This is where Cassius loses ground, Jurie seemingly is just getting faster and more inspired with each hit she lands, or lands on her, she slowly pushes Cassius back to the middle of the arena, before dropping low and sweeping his legs, Cassius places his palms onto the ground, spring boarding himself over Juire, but, he gets his leg grabbed around the ankle, Jurie swings him down into the ground, knocking the wind out of him...and now Cassius gets to try something, the same move Jurie used previously, scrunching into a ball, and using the free leg to strike the opponents face, but, a problem is Jurie caught the other leg's attack.

"I have a photographic memory you know?" Jurie smiles slyly and quips.

"shit.." Cassius lets out before getting slammed into the ground again, his vision becoming Blurry now, she does hit way too hard, but, backing off as Jurie lets him go, he regains his footing, despite a shaky fist. 

"Cassius, give me your best shot." 

Jurie is already in front of him again, when'd she get there, it must've been when he blinked, that was his mistake. Taking a step back before reeling a right straight, Jurie charges a left straight, the two hit each other in their face, Cassius going for a left hook, Jurie a right hook, the two hit each other again simultaneously. This continues till Jurie and Cassius both drop onto their backs, sadly, Cassius is the one to stand up, beaten and battered Jurie stays lain on the ground, huffing, smiling, and. . . gone? 

"Where'd. . ." Cassius questions, looking around him, and then upwards, of course. . . Jurie jumped into the air ,Cassius blinked, again, Charging an overhead attack, laughing as she does so, Cassius jumps up towards her, a left uppercut, versus a right overhead. 

"Sadly, we'll never know. . " A mysterious woman says. The setting cuts to the streets, bustling, people still flowing in and out of the stadium.

A figure stands outside of the towering stadium, hands in her pockets, people bumping into her but she's a damn brick wall. One man runs right into her, getting knocked onto his ass

 "Hey! Watch where you're standing!" He yells at her, she promptly bends down, and places a hand on his shoulder, his body then turns very hot, standing up he runs off, screaming, The lady, or rather, girl, smiles, laughing. "He.. hehe.. heh."  

The man  explodes into a bloody mess, no physical matter other than blood, she walks away from the stadium after that, touching random people, before grabbing one, whom asks her. 

"Who are you?!" In a very frightened, and quiet voice. 

Letting go of the man, she smiles slightly. 
 
"Ｉ　ａｍ　ｔｈｅ　ｆａｌｌｅｎ"

The scene then shifts back to the stadium, the Arena, covered in dust, before it dissipates, Kao-Lan standing between both Cassius and Jurie, catching both of their fists, her arms overlapped, before twisting the duo and flinging both of them out of the Arena. 

"This match is OVER! LEAVE THE STADIUM NOW, THE WHOLE STADIUM IS CLOSED AS OF NOW! THIS IS AN ACTIVE CRIME SCENE! GET HOME SAFELY! GOOD TRAVELS!" Kao-Lan shouts. 

The stadium is quickly emptied, people funneling out of the stadium, the Guard of the campus, including the stadium, Kao-Lan, had just ended the bout, before looking out of the entry-way directly aligned with the middle of the arena, which is where she stands, locking eyes with the girl from the streets, whom has turned to stare back at Kao-Lan, the distance between the two is maybe 8 street blocks, the girl disappearing as Kao-Lan steps toward her, Kao-Lan seemingly teleported to the girls previous location, a pen in Kao-Lan's right hand. 

"Tch... 𝗦𝗵𝗲'𝘀 back."
