Thread: Ruin And Rebirth (Mech Pilot and darkangel76)

The hybrid nodded at the girl, seeing she was indeed fine, just really shaken up. Probably someone not used with violence, which surprisingly weren't hard to find, even then. Knowing she was fine though, allowed him to fight the incoming threat without any worries. Fight... Calling it that was somewhat of a joke. He had no enemies to fight, just a couple of morons in over their heads. The young man was well aware of the quickly approaching foes, but couldn't care less for them. Only when the woman shouted her warning she got a reaction out of him. Oh, don't worry. - he stated, calmly. Before he could add anything those two were upon him. He hoped to talk to them first, maybe scare them out of it, but they decided not to present the oportunity. All the worst for them. The first one lunged against him, a knife aimed to his kidneys. The biker spun swiftly to the oposite side of the knife like a bullfighter dodging the horns of an angry bull as he turned to face his oponent. His hand pushed the enemy's fist aside as he finished his spin, the other hand grabbing the man's collar, using the man's own strentgh against him. The next second, the man was flung through the air in a rather violent way, crashing against the ground and rolling to the woman's feet. The second enemy was on him just as soon as the first was on the air, attempting two strikes, the knife shinning in the morning sun as it whistled dangerously close to the hybrid. First was a slash to the hybrid's neck, and a thurst to his gut right afterwards.The red-eyed man quickly backstepped, leaning his body behind to dodge the first blow, and used his forearm to brush aside the second strike, sidestepping so he could be on the outside of the enemy's guard. Grabbing the man's wrist, the hybrid twisted his arm by the elbow, his other hand taking away the knife. A knee to the ribs pretty much finished the brief struggle, the horrible sound of cracking bones filling their ears. Just to be sure, the raven haired traveller kicked the back of his leg, forcing the assailant to its knees. A chop to the back of the head and the lights were out for number two. All of it happened in less than three seconds. The other one was up by then, still shaking off the dizziness from the fall. Fortunately the man wasn't inteligent enough to explore the only strentgh he had at the moment, it being the girl right behind him. A hostage could have slightly improved his situation, since the man was obviously outmatched. Still, inteligence was even rarer than resources at the current state of Earth and the fool just decided to blindly swing his knife once more, forcing the hybrid to dodge a few more strike. His body leaned to the sides just barely avoiding the blade, every movement completely calculated. At the first oportunity, the biker threw a jab that connected directly to the assailant's jaw. The blow threw the enemy off balance, allowing a second one to hit him in the stomach, the air forced out of his lungs. The third one was an uppercut that hit the man on the nose, flinging his body backwards, his nape hitting the ground with a loud thud. The fight was over, the two settlers out cold in less than ten seconds thanks to the hybrid's brutal efficiency. For now, victorious male decided to ignore the fight still ongoing at the distance. If it continue like that, it would be finished pretty soon anyway. He turned to the girl once more, adjusting the shades with his middle finger, so she wouldn't see his unnatural eyes. See? Nothing to worry about. - he stated, dusting off his jacket just as calmy as he had entered the fight. - So, I take you're friends with one of those groups fighting back there. The smaller one, right? - he looked at the fray, sighing. He needed to find the settlement and get some water, and probably one of those groups were from said settlement. He hoped it was the girl's group. - You're from the closest settlement? I'm looking to trade for water... I may be able to assist, if you're willing to help me. - the hybrid adressed her, unfazed by the violence ocurring on the background.
