Welcome to Gaia! ::

Locke smiled that he wasn't mad at his outburst from before.

"Thank you for understanding a little of who I am."

Locke heard the spell he spoke but had no idea of what it could be, but knowing that hes switched to the offensive meaning that something hidden was about to happen. Lock wound his chains like a spring and when gathered tight he gathered his energy into his chains and shot his hook at a very fast speed in hopes of punching through his offensive, he sent a large amount of energy to his hook so that he can use his Madness Cracker when he hand the chance. He took his other hook and wound the chain to form a shield for when the captain pushed through his offensives.

Locke was a bit taken back as to the captain putting up no defenses, Locke knew that a straight hit from his Madness Cracker would be fatal, in his mind it was like taking a powder keg exploding right in front of your face. He wasn't going to to question the durability of a captains strength but the last thing Locke wanted was to look like he was a brutal savage before the only person he had respect for.

At a split second change the hook dived down between kensei's legs, controlling the chain it shot back up and hooked onto the back of all layers of his clothing and if the hook had made its mark, Locke would pull him back slamming his head into the ground like a wrestler would a suplex. As to why the bladed hook would not cut his clothing, Locke refocused the energy to purposely dull the blade, he used this for when he wanted his hooks to grab an object rather then cut them.

Locke saw wide eyed as the captain was at his right side, with the impact coming on his side he could only pull back his arm just in time to have his right gauntlet take some of the blow, but the jab forced his hand into his sides and made him cringe form the pain, it was going to leave a painful bruise. Forcing himself to stay standing he grabbed kensei's sword before he could pull it back.

"Fine...you want to test my power...Then how about THIS!" as the hook in his left hand flew out at him and the right one came flying back, the right hook was now behind him and the left one was out front.

"Double Madness Cracker!!!" and the explosion that went off could be heard across all of the squad 11 lands. Locke was sent flying back from the combination of the two explosions, but like a reckless fighter he was, he had trained his body to lessen the impact of his own explosions. Taking two up-close though did leave its mark, a little blood was coming out from both eyes and his mouth, he still had that mad smile on his face though.

Locke shook off the damage and wiped the blood off his face, the sword that he held was blown to bits from the explosion. Locke pulled back his hooks back into each hand.

"Dammit...I hate how weak I am compared to you...I know I'm a rank lower then you but this is pathetic!" Locke was tired of holding back now, he was going into his mad mode, his spirit energy pushing his body past his limits.

Locke was done with the long range, he went at Kensei with everything he had. He unleashed a incredibly fast flurry of strikes and swipes, all of them to try and deal damage rather then a fatal blow, if Kensei was going to flash step, he was going to flash step after him, if he was going to block he was going to exert everything he had to push through. He was hell bent on getting his hits to land, now more then ever he wanted to prove he was strong.

"Don't you DARE talk to me about earning strength!! You lived a life of safety! You got to train as hard as you could because you had the luxury!! I HAD NOTHING!!! Grew up with nothing!! No friends to watch my back, No family to take care of me when I fell sick or injured!!! Trust me I tried to make friends and a family, but not a single one of them would accept me!! You want to talk about real strength!?! You try and find the strength to keep fighting when you have NOTHING TO FIGHT FOR!!!!!

Locke was speaking between his thrusts and swings, when kensai lauched the fireball Locke was at a much farther distance back this time, trying to flash step into the next attack but found a better opening. Locke gathered energy in both hooks, tossing his left hook up, he swung at his hook like a baseball and had the explosion go off at the same time, having its energy punch right through the fireball, the speed and velocity, kensai wasn't dodging this one, and with a ear splitting crack the point blank explosion went off. Locke was sent flying with both the fireball going off and his own explosion, he weakly got to his feet, he was bleeding almost everywhere, his cloths ripped to shreds, his pants now shorts.

"I hate you royal types, your so strong because you had everything you needed to be... where as I...no family...no friends...had to fight to survive...fight to eat...fight for a place to sleep..." his eyes were full of tears.
