What is any hospital without that of a long waiting room where you can spend your times with the sassy black receptionist. NYU's large waiting room is a large waiting center filled with many different nurses moving in and out. One may come in and explain their problem or be taking to a room from here.

Mystery Rider
And here in the waiting room another mystery rider awaited for the sorry member of Requiem to show up. The hospital being the perfect place since it will be where a rider will be laid down.
Abel had two choices of where to go based on what the hooded guy had said. For whatever reason, he found himself drawn to the hospital. It seemed like the strangest place for a battle, but it kind of suited him. Either way, there was no turning back at this point. It was a hospital, so he was probably going to be seen, with that thought, Abel entered the hospital through the front doors. His hoodie was still up, as he moved quickly through the halls. It was pretty easy to find his way since a few people seemed to be fleeing. His opponent was probably the reason for this, so he sped up a little eventually finding his way to a large waiting room. Abel slowed down as he entered the room and lowered his hoodie as he had found the correct location. It was easy to tell since the challenging team member had AT's on. "Seems this is the right place." His expression was cold as usual when meeting somebody new or when he was being serious.

Mystery Rider
The lights would soon shut off in the room, leaving nothing but darkness in the path. The rev of air treks could be heard as he approached forward towards Abel. How could he see? Sound Or vibrations? Either way, the rider would soon head towards Abel, hands up as he could see his location. He was ready, a punch aiming straight for the jaw of Abel before releasing a special shockwave from the vibrations, that on hit would shut down Abels air treks. They wanted the big dogs. They got it.
Abel was prepared for a fight, of course he hoped it would be fair, but as the lights shut off, it was clear that wasn't going to happen. This was definitely going to make this battle a lot tougher. The sound of AT's approaching could be heard, but not being able to see made it difficult to know exactly where the rider was. It seemed as though his opponent didn't have much trouble seeing, which would put him at a huge disadvantage. It proved to be exactly the case as he tried to be ready, but that just wasn't helpful. The next thing he knew, the unknown rider hit him squarely in the jaw. Getting punched in the face wasn't the way he imagined this fight starting, but the pain did at least wake him up to the situation he was in. Abel stumbled backward from the impact, but stayed on his feet as he had kind of expecting to get hit. The taste of blood filled his mouth, but he was more concerned about his air trecks which appeared to stop working. That punch did feel a little unusual and it was clear he was pretty much wearing normal roller blades at the moment. "So, that's how it's gonna be?" Abel said, before spitting out some of the blood onto the ground. This wasn't any fun, but he wasn't about to back down, he'd show this rider that they'd still need to be careful. His AT's wouldn't move like normal, but he'd still be able to move manually. Abel's experience with ice skates really would pay off. With that in mind, he rolled forward and threw a punch of his own in the direction the punch had come from. At this point, he imagined he'd probably completely miss, but he was willing to take the risk.

"You are still. ******** CLUELESS" he stated as he looked at abel's direction. When he approached, the man would move at the line of sight fire. He wasn't sure who he was facing. If it was a range or not. He just knew if he keep from being in front when he charged, this wouldn't be too hard of a fight. When Abel missed and hit nothing but air again, the man would chare at abel and tackle him as if he was a linebacker for the steelers.
Abel sure as hell felt clueless, his opponent really didn't need to remind him about that. The darkness had really thrown him off his game and led to his admittedly, stupid risk of throwing a punch blindly. Though, perhaps he was regretting the vodka he had earlier at Corena's place. Those were bad enough, but not being able to use his AT's normally made for a truly terrible combination. After his failed attack, it was clear that he needed to do something different in order to win or else he'd probably just get his a** kicked. Hearing the mysterious riders AT's get closer, he had a feeling he'd be tasting the hard ground very shortly. Despite that, Abel managed to remain calm, if the opponent did hit him, in that moment, he'd know exactly where they were. Soon enough, he was tackled like a running back without any blocking. It definitely wasn't any fun to be hit in quite that fashion, but this was the first time he knew where the enemy was. With that in mind, he balled his hand into a fist and aimed a punch straight for the side of the unknown riders head. It was the least he could do, before he was slammed to the ground from the impact of the tackle. Abel clearly felt the force of the tackle and cringed in pain. That was really going to hurt a lot more in the morning as he wasn't exactly able to defend himself. Of course, he hoped the punch hit it's mark and would give him a chance to counter.

The counter attack worked. For what it worth, a punch in exchange for tackle, the rider definitely got the better of the trade. Still, feeling the punch to the head, it would cause the man to stagger a bit, being partially stunned. He wouldn't say much as he was seeing about the effects of the punch. If he wanted a shot. This was Abel's chance.
Abel would definitely try to avoid being tackled in exchange for a punch in the future. In this case however, the punch he threw actually hit its mark, which was about the only thing to go right so far. His spine still felt like it had been realigned, but he couldn't worry about the pain or else he might end up losing. A lose for him really didn't matter too much, he wasn't part of Requiem after all. Perhaps that's what other people might think, but it wasn't the way he wanted to go about this. Abel would fight until he couldn't anymore, doing whatever he thought would bring him to victory. With that in mind and the fact his opponent hadn't made a move since he was punched in the head, he felt he needed to get rid of the biggest hindrance. Of course, there was an app for that. He rolled to his side before getting back up to his feet and turned toward the mystery rider's direction. Instead of attacking blindly, he reached into his pocket and took out his phone. This might waste his chance, but if he spent the rest of the battle blindly attacking, he'd never win. After a few moments, he opened the flashlight app on his phone. It was the only major source of light, so it easily illuminated the area around him. If he wanted to keep it up, he'd need to hold his phone the entire time, which limited his ability to fight with both hands. His eyes shifted toward the rider and he grinned slightly. "Found you." That was all he said, before rolling forward and aiming a kick toward his opponents head.
OOC: Not too sure if the shutting off the AT's would also work on his cellphone. If so, I can change the post, just let me know. Also, sorry about the app comment, but it needed to be written. lol

Abel now revealed who he was dealing with. However, he was handicapped. His treks were back on yes (shutdown only for 1 post. my bad xD) and he had light, but what could he do? Looking at the man head towards him, the light was annoying and kind of blinding, but at the same time a dead give away to where he was. He wouldn't move, he would just make him fall. Oh no, he will just destroy him. Sending out vibrations, soon, the whole room would start to shake violently, the ceiling becoming loose and showing signs it was about to fall soon. what was this. Quake!! The A rank Gaia road move that pretty much made psuedo earthquakes. SO while he has to deal with not trying to fall from the violent shaking, he also would have to deal with not being collapsed on by the material of the roofing.
It appeared that things might finally be going his way. The light made it a lot easier and would prevent him from flailing around in the dark. His treks were working again and he was trying to hopefully end the battle with his next attack. That would be far too easy though as his opponent still had a trick up his sleeve. Vibrations were sent out from the rider and it quickly began to feel like he was in the middle of an earthquake. His attack failed, because he had to stop it before following through. He really did miss his chance as the vibrations had caused him to feel disoriented and made it difficult to even stay on his feet. Abel somehow managed to keep his balance, but it was clear any change to that and he'd probably end up falling over. This was far too annoying, first the darkness, now this, he was stuck battling at the opponents pace. The pseudo-earthquakes continued and he couldn't help, but glance up toward the roof. The ceiling appeared like it was about to fall, so far, it wasn't collapsing, but that wasn't going to last long at all. It would be impossible to predict which parts of the roof would fall first and the vibrations pretty much kept him in place. For the moment, it was just a waiting game to see how the ceiling fell.

"Don't worry. I'll end this quickly for you. Now, hold still." He stated as he activated a part. No, it wasn't a regalia, but it sounded like all the power that was in his treks would go straight to the engine, over glocking it to the point that all the power was for the vibrations production, amplifying the quake potential greatly. He didn't have to move no more. He didn't have to do anything. This was going to be the final nail in teh coffin. At least, that was how the opponent was thinking. Spamming the quake trick four times, the intensity of the quakes would increase, the vibrations more concentrated and the cieling was now coming down like rain. Not only that, the ground was starting to crack. This hospital was going to come down on them. And it all was because of storm riding.
There hadn't been many words exchanged in the fight, so hearing him say he'd end things quickly made it feel like it actually would be. These quakes were annoying and hard to deal with, but would that really be enough to bring an end to the battle? Abel blinked a few times as the sound of the mystery rider activating something was just heard over the shaking room. "What the hell did you do?" His question was more to himself, but it didn't take long to find out the answer. The intensity of the earthquakes increased greatly as it was almost impossible to keep his balance. Quickly he found himself on his hands and knees, trying hard to get back up to his feet. Abel tried a few times, but just when he was about to make progress, the shaking knocked him back down. The ceiling raining down on him didn't help any either and a lot of the pieces had a good amount of mass to them. His back was taking quite the beating today and he really had felt useless when it mattered most. It just sucked, everything about this situation. "Taking down an entire hospital... just to kill me? I still won't lose, not like thi-" His words were cut off as a ceiling tile fell and hit him in the head. That hurt, and not just physically. Was this really the end? It sure as hell felt like it. Abel was quite woozy after that hit and had a small gash on his forehead near his hairline. As he felt the warm liquid slowly trickle down his face, it seemed as though he was about to pass out. To the opponent, it would appear that the battle was done, though that wasn't the case. This was different, it felt like he had lost consciousness, but there was something or someone that seemed to take over
A warmth spread throughout his body, making him feel as though he was next to a cozy fire in the middle of winter. It was a truly great feeling and not something he'd ever want to forget again. His breathing seemed to calm as he slowly lifted his head to look at the mysterious rider. Abel's pupils had become crosses as he pretty much stared down his opponent. It was like his entire demeanor had changed as a smirk was plastered on his face. Any pain from before seemed to disappear, that wasn't true, but it would appear that he was well versed in hiding it. Despite the constant earthquake still surrounding him, he slowly pushed himself back up to his feet, his balance seemingly a lot better now. His eyes never stopped looking toward his enemy as he couldn't help, but say something. "Leaving me in this type of predicament, Abel, ******** brat. Well... guess this is kind of fun." Whoever he was now, he'd figure it out after this fight, for now, he needed to end it. That didn't seem like the easiest task with these damn earthquakes. It took him a moment, before an idea crossed his mind, the straightforward approach. Slow and as steady as possible as it felt like his AT's were an extension of his legs. The light was also important, but he needed both hands for his plan. It was probably weird, maybe very weird, though he made the choice to place his cellphone in his mouth so the light was facing up. A few teeth marks wouldn't ruin the phone as he bit down. With that problem solved, his treks began to push him forward slowly. This wasn't the best sight for somebody on the flame road, but it was the only way he could stay semi-upright. Inch by inch, he moved forward, being hit by more parts of the roof. If he lost his balance, he fell forward, but caught himself with his arms. His enemy was going to stay still, that would be his only way he might pull off the victory. Finally, after persistent determination, he found himself in range as he balled his hand into a fist. The crosses seemed to flash as without hesitation, the red haired male threw a punch aimed straight for the mysterious riders face. For some reason, it felt as though there was a lot more strength than normal in his attack.
OOC: Hopefully I got that right, definitely need more practice with the gravity child stuff. Also, found a new way to carry a phone. lol

"All would seem well, the destruction was set in. But he continued. He wanted to continue to keep on going. He wanted to fight instead of running? Guess he didn't want to to live after all .The vibrations would stop from his air treks but the damage was done. This hospital was finished. Focusing on the man who now had a whole new personality disorder. Simple, go and disrupt gravity, make him hit the ceiling and then back down. However, he approached quicker than expected. The punch stronger, knocking out the man. Abel had won. But, now he needed escape the building.
This whole situation had become quite weird, the most obvious was about how his body felt different. If he could see his own eyes, perhaps he might have even more questions. However, since the building appeared to be collapsing, he'd just need to go with the flow and worry about it later. The only thing that made sense to him, was taking out this guy and then making his escape. It might have been smarter to try to escape, but would this mysterious rider let him. His choice had already been made and his punch thrown. The satisfaction of landing the unblocked punch was something he'd never forget, but the outcome was even more pleasing. What the hell was going on? He'd never had that kind of power before, it almost felt like a cheat code. There, one issue was dealt with as the man had been knocked out, but he had been hit with enough of the ceiling to understand what the bigger issue was. He let his phone drop to his hand, but kept the flashlight app on, not sure what the rest of the hospital was like. "Guess this can be considered digging your own grave." That felt like the most clever thing to say, but sadly, nobody was around to hear it. With those final words, it was time to make his escape. The place was going to collapse at any moment, the main entrance was too far in such conditions, he'd need to find another way out. His treks revved to life as he didn't need to hold back as he exited the waiting room and into the halls of the crumbling hospital.
The loud noise of the roof finally caving in behind him in the waiting room told him that he'd need to exit as soon as possible. He raced through the hallways, trying to make his way to the perimeter of the building. At the moment, he really didn't know his way around the hospital, but stopping to figure that out didn't seem like a good idea. Finally, he turned the corner and could see a window at the end of the hall. This really did seem to easy, so why not throw in a few annoying obstacles to make the escape a little more exciting. The roof decided to crash down in front of the red haired male and caused him to suddenly decelerate. He turned his AT's sideways and skidded to a stop, despite the immediate change of speed, he managed to stay on his feet. That way was out. His AT's once again revved quickly to their max acceleration as he retraced his steps somewhat. A few of the previous paths he took had collapsed on themselves, quickly cutting down the possible escape routes. The thing that was most surprising is that he couldn't seem to stop himself from enjoying this far too much. What the hell was wrong with him? How could this be considered fun? There was no way he could die here, whatever had happened to him, he just needed to find out.
With that new motivating factor, he continued at top speed, barely seeming to slow down or worry about corners as his time was running out. This time, the obstacle in the middle of the hallway was a large hole on the ground that appeared to be getting larger. There was no time to think about it as he raced toward it, not slowing down, even as a large crack formed under his feet. He hadn't wanted to jump yet, but this forced his hand as he leaped into the air. Despite the early jump, there seemed to be more strength in his legs. It was close, but he managed to land on both treks and kept most of his speed as he quickly reached top speed again. As he turned the last corner, he felt relief as he could see a window in the distance at the end of the hall. The glass was cracked, but it hadn't broken yet. The hall also seemed to be in better condition, but parts of the ceiling were beginning to give way. The red head knew he needed to push his AT's to the limit if he wanted to make it out alive. As he closed in on the window, large sections of the roof began to fall to the ground. That was fine, he had the perfect trick for that. While still going top speed, he began to zig zag in between and around any debris that was in the process of falling. Once more, he movements were smoother than normal and he easily dodged everything in his path and cleared the final obstacle with style. His attention focused on the window and he'd need one more trick to make sure he didn't die from crashing through the window with his body. As he approached the cracked window, he did a half spin to the side and used the added inertia to add more force to his kick. This was the trick he hoped to finish the mysterious rider off with, but this would do just fine. He slammed one of his treks, wheels first into the glass causing it to shatter outward and fall to the ground below. The momentum of this trick made him follow close behind the shattered glass. Anywhere his skin was showing took a few more nicks from the glass, but that was a lot better than being crushed to death.
The sensation of the air blowing around him felt wonderful as he did manage to survive. He wasn't that high up, but the landing on the street below was still quite the impact. His breathing was labored as the whole situation had been physically demanding. Slowly, he turned around and looked back at the hospital as it was on the last stages of its collapse. "Well, that can't be good." A bit of a chuckle escaped his mouth as he put his hoodie back up and his phone back into his pocket. At the moment, he really didn't care if he had been seen, fleeing the scene was all he could do. Riding was still a crime and perhaps destroying the hospital was also a crime, who knows. Reaching up to his face, he wiped away some of the blood that had been trickling down his face the entire time. The flow seemed to have slowed and he really hoped no stitches would be needed. Quickly, the red haired male fled the scene, somehow the place wasn't crawling with the ATP, which made things so much easier.

Tricks Used
Super Stride IV Sonic Boom - F-Rank -------►This basic ground technique is used for evasion in a run as well as a manner of striking enemies on either side of the user with ease. The trick is usually practiced by criss crossing bottles or cans, performing rudiment 'Karaoke' styled feet transitions with the skates at top speed. The result is the ability to zig zag in short bursts to the left and right, able to veer with at least a seven foot distance between each strides beginning and end point. This allows the user to evade incoming projectiles of small size or maneuver to melee attack enemies in rapid succession. Ducking, spinning, and crouching are common variations of movements for this trick. This is a valuable asset to the rider's vocabulary, no doubt
Reincarnation - C-Rank -------►An inertia driven attack that combines the speed of the Air Treks with the high energy momentum developed from a high speed run to drive a devastating kick through the opponent, sending them flying off in the opposite direction. The method in which is performed is very similar to the trick, "Giant Swing of Time," and similar to its predecessor works twice as effectively when used in conjunction with "Oh! Time!"
