Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ryugi's arm would spin around to grip Dame's own wrist, and then twist. Hard. Ryugi was quite a bit stronger than the normal human being, even if they were bigger than him. Those draconic muscles came in handy in situations where brute strength came into play. Ryugi would twist Dame's wrist until he heard a crack, a snap, or a crunch from his grip. One or the other. Ryugi may not have been a pro martial artist, but he was a master of grappling combat, something Dame would have to learn the hard way as Ryugi twisted and crushed his arm.

So, thats how it was going to be huh? Things got tough, so his opponent decided to use his powers. Fair enough, Ryugi had his own powers to share.

As the electrical joly shot into Ryugi's body and out through the metal tips poking through his boots connecting him to the ground, Ryugi's muscles tensed and contracted explosively, causing him to hunch over a bit and avoid Dame's elbow strike, as well as cause him to put the full pressure of his strength apon Dame's hand. It would be enough to crush Dame's hand to a useless mass of bone shards, muscle tissue, and shredded ligaments and tendons.

But Ryugi wasn't done. He had four tunrs of energy now, and he decided to let his opponent feel the heat from them. He moved the red hot flame energy outside of his body instead of holding it within him. The flaming energy surrounded Ryugi's body with searing fire, enough to cause some serious burns on close-up individuals. And lets not forget the closer the individual, the hotter and more painful/dangerous all that heat would be. Meaning Dame's left hand, forearm, and possibly bicep would be in the process of cooking.

Damrius had made an error with that last move. Ryugi's armor was "practically" identical to Dame's. However, Ryugi's design was a little bit different...



Dame's armor stopped before it reached his shoulders, Ryugi's covered his shoulders and biceps down to roughly where his forearm guards began. This meant that Dame's sword would collide with the armor, doing a bit of damage to Ryugi's shoulder area, but not enough Ryugi couldn't shake off and ignore. Dame was too close to him to get much power behind the blade, and at worst, Ryugi would have a nasty bruise there later.

This meant that since Ryugi's arm was still attatched, and since his arm was still attatched, Dame's body was still in the brunt of Ryugi flames, which now had a total of FIVE turns of energy roaring through them, and getting hotter every second. The intense heat and flames would now be burning up to Dame's torso and head due to the addition of the energy. Ryugi would maintain his grip on Dame's arm, which would probably be burned black and red about now from the intense flames. Too much movement and the meat would be likely to separate from the bone of that arm. There was only so much heat a body could take, and Dame's would be in a world of hurt...

Balalalaonetwothreefour. Shouyin showed up wearing a pair of loose grey sweatpants, thassit. Upon his appearance but a few feet in front of Silver he'd lash out with a right roundhouse kick, that leg having been positioned backwards sometime before his BAMF onto the Tree.

He'd strike on a downwards angle with the top of his foot about halfway down the outside of the man's left thigh. His stone right arm would be held straight down past the corresponding hip, while his left was up in front and across the body, hand in front of his face, both palms open.

And Silver would simply get kicked in the hand as the half-golem struck and then withdrew his leg as quickly as he'd extended it. Immediately after planting his right foot, with both hands up in a boxer's guard position, Shouyin would snap out with a low left lead roundhouse to Silver's ankle, around the Achilles tendon if that was viable.

His lead foot would plant in front as he shuffled in, rear hand open and pressed against Silver's right bicep in a check as his left came across in a horizontal elbow for the man's temple.

Shouyin would furl his brow, retracting his left arm and bringing it up in front of his face as he bobbed and weaved to the left, ducking under the right hook and torquing his body counter-clockwise.

In time with the dodging maneuver, as he rose up, the man would throw his own right hook at Silver's torso, around the liver area. If this hit, then immediately after he'd throw his body around clockwise, throwing a heavy left hook into his opponent's right kidney.

The blocked left hand would loop behind Silver's right shoulder as Shouyin moved in somewhat closer. He'd grab the back of his opponent's head, pulling it back so that the man's face would be tilted upwards. In time with this action, he'd bring his right shoulder forward, left foot still in front.

Right arm held in a boxer's guard position, Silver's fist would connect with Shou's stone upper arm right as the half-golem headbutted the man in the face, slamming his forehead off the bridge of Silver's nose.

Wacha! Taking advantage of the small victory, Shouyin would be shifting his rear heel, bringing his right fist up and across in an uppercut for the left side of Silver's jawbone, when he'd be kneed in the nuts. Unexpected, what with all the pain he'd been bringing, but you took your dues.

If the punch made any contact, it'd feel more like a friendly nudge of sorts, simply tilting Silver's head forwards as the half-golem released his hold on the man's hair, shuffling backwards and leaning in with heavy breaths. Despite an urge to grab his sack, Shou would keep both arms up in guard position. This'd probably just be a short recovery time for the two of them, although luckily the half-golem wasn't bleeding.
