Saga 3 Episode 5: The Old & The New

## Participants

The Order Of The MoonCho KiriyuRuji Yamato
I

*10:00 P.M on a Wednesday. The night life for Kasaihana City was literally  just beginning and it’s arguable this is the time the city starts to come to life. Everyone can shed the faces and facades they work so hard to keep up during the day, and really let lose who they really are. This applies to all men, women..and beast. On this night in particular, the Order of the Moon would’ve been hosting  a very important meeting here tonight concerning a returning face. The Order of the moon The Pack that Kagemaru Tasanagi had formed would soon later on become this said group. All of the Alpha's in the city came together to create the Order after Kagemaru's death. Where they all work in unison to protect there small race population of supernatural creatures. Oni's dont fall into this category however, they are actually banned from the order and all of there resources. The current families that consist of the order are The Edwards Family, The Tanaka family, and others like , The Taju family and finally The Maxon's. Each of these families are head by an Alpha. And these Alpha's are also the head core members of the Order of Moon. Making it an Alpha pack in a sense.*

*Tonight Logan Edwards, Lucas Maxon, and A new face were sitting at a large and wide semi circle desk. The desk surrounded a giant moon crest on the marble floor with other totemic and tribal sylmbols on it’s base. In the center of this floor would’ve been Ruji Yamato, a Wolfbood who’d left a while back, but has recently returned due to unknown circumstances. He would be standing in the middle, while the three members present would’ve been pondering a very important question: can he be trusted?*

Logan ( ): I’ll be honest with you Ruji, the reason you’re here tonight isn’t because we don’t trust you. It’s because after everything that has transpired in the course of the months…we really can’t trust anybody. There are wolfbloods and people who take advantage of other people’s relationships with others, and we need to make sure that any wolfblood who IS a wolfblood is genuine, and not an imitation.

Lucas: ( )-scoffs- He and his father were elsewhere during the war. I’m certain he can vouch for him. You can smell the Wolfblood in him there is no reason for this test, it’s just appeasing to the fact neither of you can go out and hunt so you want to see a couple of kids fight one another.

???: ( )Watch your tone boy. –He glared at Lucas.- You may be an alpha but besides Tasanagi you’re still wet behind the ears yourself. That’s the problem with young ones now adays. So quick to toss aside traditions that have held stability for years just to make things “easy.”

Lucas: …..

Logan: Childeren..please. –he looks back to Ruji.- I’ve spoken to your father prior and he said it was okay. This is nothing more than a trial test of your and the others abilities. The order of the moon is constantly changing and with the severe circumstances…we may need more Alphas. Based on how you did your time to rise might come sooner than you think. Are you ready for your challenger?

*Had Ruji verbally agreed, and spoken his peace, the door would’ve opened behind him. Another young male appered, in appearance not much younger than himself. A boy with black wild hair, that befitted his yellow hues and peach complexion. He wore a brown leather jacket, a slimming one, with a white t-shirt underneath it, a pair of jeans, and white tennis shoes. He looked around, from left to right and his mouth opened a bit before he spoke.*

Cho: Erm is this the right place? I’ve only been here once and I wasn’t exactly…expecting to come here.

Lucas: Well that’s because we didn’t give you a choice. That’s what the bodygaruds were for.

*2 large wolfblood males escorted Cho further into the room, lifting him up by his arms and standing him beside Ruji. Cho was done struggling and just let them place him there.*

Cho: Yeah  clearly. –Cho looked over at Ruji and nodded his head up.- Sup.

Logan: The rules are simple. This is a no time limit sparing match. You may use your abilities to their fullest extents. Keep in mind it is a full moon…so the both of you may become more violent than usual but that is why we’ll be spectatcing to make sure no one goes to far. I assume you’ve been briefed why you’re here Kiriyu?

Cho: Yeah. –Cho stuffs his hands into his coat pockets.- it’s just a test for him or something right?

???: For you as well. Your behavior since your…”revival.” Has not been the best. It’s-

Lucas: It’s been downright disgraceful. You’ve been going out and about, flaunting your abilities and destroying the secrecy of our kind with no regard for the rest of us. Have you no sense of honor or respect?

Cho: -Tilts his head- Bro we had a space ship land in our city like a year and some change ago, and you think people or gonna bat an eye when I sprout ears and wag my tail?

*Lucas furrows his brow in irritation, and Logan holds his hand up to signal him to calm down.*

Logan: Both of you separate, prepare yourselves and start when you are ready.

*Cho shrugs and gives Ruji one last look before saying.*

Cho: Good luck I guess? This isn’t my choice so nothing personal if you kick my tail or something dude.

*Cho would’ve taken some steps back and had Ruji done the same the two would now be 15 feet apart form one another. Cho leaving his jacket on, before putting up a basic boxing guard, slightly wider, with his feet shoulder width apart, and knees bent very lightly. His upper body bounced back and forth, and all of his weight shifted to the toes of his shoes rather than the full heel. He waited patiently to see what stance Ruji would preform if he even did.*  (I aint gone write in italics all the time I just do this when I write out plot based stuff cause it’s quicker xD)

Ruji would have been standing in the center of the room with three other people sitting behind a desk in a semi circle all of which are Alpha's like his father, one of them beginning to speak say he wasn't here because they could trust him but wanted to make sure he was genuine and not some imitation soon afterwards the others jumped in each putting their two cents in. Ruji figure it was just cause theu we're bored or they just really wanted to his capabilities if they wanted to see if he was a genuine wolfblood it'd been as simple as asking him to change either way Ruji didnt care all he knew is that he got to beat up on some poor sap and they'd ask him if he was ready for his challenger, Ruji would just pop his neck side to side loud snap and cracking noise being heard before he started rolling his shoulders"Yeah I just got to beat on some kid right.. Let's get this going" he'd say yawning and once he did two larger wolfbloods came dragging some kid in and placing him down next to him and for a while Ruji didnt notice who he was he seemed different but after looking at him for a few moments and he'd realize that it was Cho from school and he'd shake his head a bit though not really noticeable. The three Alpha's then began speaking again saying how the full moons out and thats why they was there to make sure no one goes to far Cho then said something to him but he wasn't really paying attention to him when he started talking so he just responded with a nod not really even know what he said the Three then telling them to separate and begin when they're ready and he watched Cho step away about fifteen feet away and took up a boxing stance though it was a bit wider than usually and all the weight was shifted onto his toes, Ruji himself did take off his jacket tossing it to the side along with his shirt, both his hands and wrist would have black wrapping tape on them , on his lower body was a baggy pair of cargo pants and on his feet was a pair of black combat boots. Ruji himself actually didn't take a fighting stance persay in fact Ruji lowered him self to the ground taking a position as if he was running track.

Ruji would have then bursted forward towards The male and started whipping his body around horizontally twisting around before attempting to kick the male in the face with the his of his boot aiming for Cho's forehead

which if connected would send his upper body downwards causing him to double over Ruji would then attempt to grab him by his jacket and toss him across the room if his initial attack had been successful-

II
--

Cho stood there, watching the male take  off his jacket and toss it to the side, along with the shirt he was wearing. Cho let out a burp as this happened, only to wipe his lip with his jacket sleeve and resume his standing position. He watched Ruji take an odder stance. “Lean build. Tall. Meaning his reach is definitely a lot better than mine. Distance isn’t a good thing to have between us.” Cho thought to himself as he watched Ruji take off! Cho narrowed his eyes as Ruji began to close the distance, and began to twist and contort his body around, in a horizontal manor. “Momentum.” He thought to himself, and Cho instinctively knew what to do for this kind of situation. As the fighter got closer, Cho would’ve preformed two actions with his feet.

The First action would’ve been using his left foot to bounce backwards a half of a foot, leaning his body back as he did this. In this same transition, simultaneously, Cho would’ve raised his right foot, bending the knee up to his chest, and not only would Ruji’s foot have missed Cho’s forehead, but as the back of his foot was coming down, his mid-section would’ve begun to expose itself and assuming he could land from preforming a kick like this, Cho would use that against him. Being the moment his foot was close but not quite to the ground, Cho would’ve lashed out his right leg, attempting to boot kick Ruji square in the solar plexus.

 Like this but aimed for the body not the head

Should this counter kick Connect, Ruji would’ve been sent back first to the ground, hitting with a hard and loud THUD! The base of Cho’s foot having dug into his abdomen and sent him straight to the floor afterwards in one quick well timed motion. If it connected, Ruji would’ve experienced a difficulty to breathe but only for a short while, and it wouldn’t exactly hinder his recovery but hitting that particular bundle of nerves would obstruct his breathing. Cho wouldn’t wait around to see the result, as if this high chance counter connected, Cho would attempt to step forward with his right foot, raising his left foot in the air and attempting to slam it down in an axe kick like fashion in the same area.

If the axe kick connects, it would further damage Ruji’s solar plexus, making breathing again difficult for him to do, but now to an even more severe where it’d take some time to regain stability. However if the axe kick was dodged, Cho would let his foot hit the ground, and remain stationary, his arms by his sides from the motion of the axe kick. Same goes for the initial counter, if it was dodged as well.

As Ruji went for the kick he noticed the male step back mid kick and Ruji would smile a bit and the moment his foot hit the ground he felt Cho's foot dig into his abdomen causing Ruji to fall straight down to the ground winding him a bit and he grimace a bit though quickly rolling out of the way of the next kick and into his feet and standing up right and rolling his shoulders "Well I guess thats what I get for trying fight like her" he said more so to himself referring to someone he meet during his time away. Ruji would have then took on a basic fighting stance before rushing in again A a slower rate than before and he'd launch his right fist forward aiming a Connors left eye threwing a straight right followed up by a right hook , if the straight jab should land it'd cause him not to be able to see out of that eye briefly from being hit in it Ruji taking advantage of that and throwing the right hook with the same hand since it'd be harder from him to see it coming should the right Hook connect it'd have enough force behind it to possibly knock him to the ground completely or stagger and daze him , should Cho fall to the ground Ruji would waste no time drawing his leg back and attempting to kicking him in the face launching cho across the room a few feet, had Cho simply got stagger or dazed, Ruji would kick him on the left side of his knee which if connected would have caused him to drop to his knee Ruji then attempting to knee him in the face attempting to put Cho to sleep, however had these attempts failed Ruji made sure he focused in on Cho so he'd be ready to counter should it be necessary.-

*The Order of The Moon continued watching on, seeing the two young wolfbloods battle it out. They spoke amongst one another, impressed by their mastery of martial skill. At this point it seemed like each one of them were taking things at their own pace, but Logan kept specific watch on Ruji. Hoping the red headed Wolfblood could teach the young rambunctious cho some respect. The full moon shining down upon them both, they’d both be feeling a sense of ferocity and empowerment as the fight continued on.*

Cho watched as his kick did the intended knock down, and Ruji picked himself up from it. He was though. Didn’t seem like that kick did much…but Cho knew better. This is the part of the battle that Mr.Connor liked to refer as “checking each other.” He and this guy were just getting a feel for one another’s play styles, their combat strengths and weaknesses. Cho needed to keep an open mind, putting his guard back up, he’d wait to see what kind of a fighter he was before making a solid offense. Cho watched as he came at him but this time a bit slower! Cho bobbed his upper body back and forth seeing him come in, and his right shoulder twitch, indicating a right sideded punch was coming his way. “Move.’ Cho mentally spoke to himself, and as he did, he’d move his own head to the right slightly to avoid the punch that would’ve leaded to a swollen eye! However he didn’t anticipate Ruji attacking with the same hand twice, as he was then rocked on the jaw!

Cho blinked a couple of times. “Damn that was nasty.” He thought to himself, as he had to get himself back right. He needed something to get those senses right, and that’s when another attack came in. this time in the form of a kick, as Cho felt the kick connect to his left leg, bringing him down to squat on his left knee with his right knee bent and right foot on the ground. “yes.” He thought. This might’ve seemingly hindered him, but in turn, it actually put him in a position where he was facing his opponent. That way he could see any other follow up coming his way and not be surprised. Ruji wasted no time attempting to knee Cho in the face with his left knee, but that was his opportune moment. Cho would use this time, seeing his opponent’s body thrust forward for the attack and rather than taking it head on, he slide his left knee along the ground, shifting his body towards the left side, allowing him to move out of the direction of the knee. As that happened however, Cho’s hands would’ve still been in their guarded position, and in the quickness of a blink, Cho would’ve attempted to shoot his hands up, simultaneously lifting his body up and off of the ground, attempting to latch them onto the back of Ruji’s neck. If the latch maneuver, which came directly after the knee attempt worked, Cho would’ve pulled Ruji’s head down, while lifting himself up and attempting to deliver a crushing right knee to the forehead/nose of the red headed wolf blood! The motion being 50% Ruji’s head lean and 50% Cho’s uplifting, so Cho wouldn’t have to put himself in a ridiculously airborne position, and still gain the same momentum as if he was.

Should the knee connect, it would’ve been quick, as Cho wouldn’t hold on to him. He’d let go, and land on the ground, only to spin to his right side, and attempt t launch a spinning side kick to Ruji’s solar plexus, attacking the bundle of nerves for the second time this entire fight.

Should the knee connect it’d cause sever bruising, and earn some blood from it. Should the kick connect, it would’ve sent Ruji back to the ground again, just like before and this time he’d have a burning sensation in his abdomen from the nerves being attacked again, even experiencing more breathing difficulties this time around. Cho wouldn’t quit as if the kick did put Ruji down, he’d have immediately, rushed over, sliding on his right knee with his left hand drawn back, in attempts to start raining Heymakers on Ruji’s face, aiming to knock the wolflblood unconscious. Each punch would feel like getting hit by a brick over and over again, as his left hand was kept in it’s guard position. He’d continue throwing these punches until interrupted or countered. Should the counter knee fail, Cho would simply have no choice but to adapt to whatever change came.

Ruji was feeling aa bit confident in his attack after he got the male to fall to his knee though Cho managed to avoid his last attack and before Ruji could react to it he felt his head being pushed downwards and then BAM! He felt Cho's knee slam into his forehead causing him to snap back up right a small stream of blood flowing from his head though Cho didn't stop there as he'd then quickly spin kick him directly in his solar plexus again sending Ruji to the ground though as Soon as Ruji's back touched the ground he swung his legs up towards his head using the momentum to roll and launch himself backwards to his feet crouching just avoiding Cho as he rushed over to try and work a ground n pound game a good ten feet between them, Ruji would have been holding his body with his right hand, Just watching Cho breathing harder a mixture of blood and sweat flowing from his forehead and own his eye though not a whole lot of it Ruji wiping it from around his eye the whole time he was staring down Cho , ( https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=hxqW1Eq0iP4 )Ruji would have then took a few deep breaths trying to gain more control over his breath before smiling and once again bursted forward at him again at the same slow rate of speed once he got within five feet of him Ruji would have increased his speed and once he was in striking range he'd throw two hard right straights aiming at Cho's nose first then his left eye , had the first one connected it wouldn't have broke his nose but would have hurt like a bitch and made his nose bleed while also probably making his eyes water while the second one if connected would have made his eye water even more messing with his vision , Ruji would have then followed those strikes with a heavy rear hand hook which if connected would have landed squarely into Cho Jaw right at the hinges where it connects with the upper portion of the skull causing a bit of swelling but not much and probably making him loose his balance a but but wasnt dazed or anything, Ruji wasnt finished yet as he wanted a little pay back so Ruji would have bursted forward full speed! Even though they was so close , Ruji ducking down and sliding on his knee whipping around Cho and attempting to wrap his arms around his hips which if successful Ruji would have rose to his feet while at the same time lifting Cho above his head and would suplex the fuck out of Cho which if successful would have winded the fuck out of him

and wouldn't have caused much damage but would have hurt none the less as Cho would have gotten slammed from above nine to ten feet in the air when adding Ruji's height plus Cho's upper body, Ruji then moving away standing in the center of the room bouncing up and down a bit before going into a solid boxing stance-

Cho watched as Ruji rebounded from his attack only to roll himself away and regain himself for a moment. Cho’s fist hit the marble floor, cracking it, as he’d look up at Ruji with fierce eyes. Cho was here to fight, but for what? What did these people even want from him. He shouldn’t be here fighting some random guy to prove his worth or to learn a lesson. These people had nothing to teach him that he was willing to learn! Never the less, Ruji was far from done and if Cho wanted to leave he’d have to go through this guy. There was no way around it…more than likely any of these wolfbloods could crush him if he tried to run ESPECIALLY with a full moon dangling through that skylight.

Cho lost his attention to the battle for a moment thinking Ruji was going to run at that same speed but he was shocked to see him come at him with an increase! Cho went to dodge but he’d speed up to close, as a fist landed square in his nose! Cho’s eyes immdidiately watered, and he felt a surge of pain. That one was definitely going to be leaking after this one. The follow up punch to the eye connected, and Cho felt the impact around the eye socket of his skull,  immdidiately closing his eye. He took a step back, shaking his head to recollect himself but he left himself open. Still keeping his hands up at least, remembering to put them up and above his face, when the spinning back hook connected, the impact was duplicated between cho’s face and arm. Reducing it somewhat but still putting a nasty bruise on the side of his face, and sending his body to lean a bit. Cho by this time had finally wipped his eyes with his sleeves enough to open his arms and begin countering but Ruji had a different idea. He dipped low, and around, and since Cho had already stumbled over, and been lenaing, the leverage was set for him! “Shit!” He said aloud as Ruji lifted him over with his full height and next thing he knew cho found  himself slammed dead atop of his upperback and neck region! Spit flying from his mouth as his legs dangled up into the air for a moment.

*The Order of the Moon would’ve looked at one another nodding, and giving silent comments amongst one another impressed at Ruji’s resilience and combat adaptations.*

Logan: He is cunning. That’s a very impressive trait to have in the heat of battle.

Lucas: Indeed. The other one is rather hot headed and you can see a cocky tone in his style. I suspect he has not given this his all yet.

???: Well neither has Ruji. They’ve both drawn blood beneath the full moon now, so the real show should be beginning soon.

Logan: It’s…strange. The way Cho fights I have seen this form of fighting before. I cannot recall where.

Cho takes a moment to pull himself up and off of the ground. He stood up to his full height rubbing on the back of his neck.

Cho: Ah geez…that one hurt like a bitch.

Cho tugged at his jacket, before pulling it off and revealing the plain white t-shirt he’d been wearing underneath it. He took the jacket by its sleeves, and tied them around his waist in a not with a tug.  He inhaled and exhaled, before rolling his shoulders around. His eyes began to glow a fierce yellow showing the moons effects were beginning to take hold upon his body, as would Ruji’s since the moon would empower them both.

Cho: You’re not bad but I don’t want to be here. I get pissy…when I’m places I don’t want to be. Don’t ask me why…I just do.

Cho took up the same stance he took up earlier only this time he bobbed from side to side a little bit more this time. He repeated this motion until he finally took off at Ruji! He wasn’t running to fast, but he wasn’t running to fast but he wasn’t running to slow as when he arrived 3 feet away from Ruji there was a certain look in his eyes. A certain look of seriousness as he began to imitate his sensei’s movements! Cho began throwing out a barrage of heymakers, but the significant thing about these heymakers were that each one of them was about as fast as a featherweight fighters jabs! Each punch aiming for various spots on Ruji’s body via the eyes, face, neck, chest, stomach, etc.  Anything above the abdomen Cho could tag he’d attempt to, as his fist moved in fleshy whips: left, right, left , right. In a seemingly endless flurry of punches, if any of them connected, the impact would’ve been visible as Cho’s fist would sink in the flesh of whatever it impacted, even an arm for a block, and it’d leave a painful mark. Cho would continue throwing these punches until Ruji either countered him or interrupted him in his own way. Cho grunting and growling between each of these punches as he put effort into every single one of them, the speed of them clocking in at half of a single second.

https://45.media.tumblr.com/f8ddf809458727ab1261eb9f85282090/tumblr\_nokrsewtJe1tpfyz5o1\_500.gif

Once Ruji kicked Cho's legs from under him He was feeling pretty good at that point though Cho pressed his hand against the ground shifting all his weight on said arm and whipped his lower body upward and attempted to kick Ruji in the neck though Ruji managed to raise his arm up at the last second so the kick impacted his forearm with a loud THUD Ruji gritting his teeth in pain as his arms was still hurting from blocking all those punches Cho had been throwing earlier, and even though Ruji did manage to successfully block the kick it still had enough force to push him of balance a bit and and soon as Ruji has gotten his balance he felt Cho's fist dig into his Gut once again though this is where Ruji decided to counter! Grabbing onto Cho's forearm and holding him nice and close and when the male threw the second one Ruji would have attempted to intercept this punch drawing his arm back and launching a straight right towards Cho's left eye and with Ruji holding him nice and close along with his reach at this range there wouldnt have been much room to dodge or really avoid said punch (not saying it impossible or nothing like that)  if said Punch connected Cho would have started to develope some swelling around his left eye from the blows it taking over the course of the fight though Ruji wasn't down as he'd throw a savage uppercut aimed for Cho's gut which by far would have been the hardest punch he threw all day his fist digging deep into Cho's flesh if it connected he'd be winded for the moment but not as Much as Ruji who would have been breathing rather odd from all the blows he took to the body once and if the punch to the gut connected Ruji wouldn't have followed that up but instead would have jumped back putting some distance between the two of them Ruji seemingly out of breath however should these attempt fail then Ruji would have been hit by said attacks and taken the damage accordingly. Ruji would have still been trying to control his breathing taking nice and slow breaths in and out which was a basic fundamental in fighting and I lesson Ruji's father drilled into his head during the war however even with that Ruji couldnt seem to get control of it at least not completely.

The Order of the Moon continued watching, and regardless of how Ruji may or may not have escaped Cho’s assault Logan would raise a hand to speak. Temporarily stopping the both of them.

Logan: Both of you…enough toying around. Ascend to your halfwolf forms. I can see it as clear as the stars in the sky, you both refuse to go any higher than you want to. Well as fun as this display of martial skill is, we came to see weather Ruji is Alpha worthy or Cho is even Wolfblood worthy at best. I know the full moon is affecting the ferocity of your blows and I am here to tell you it is okay to unleash that fury full force. Do not hold back…we will intervene if things become to feral. Ruji eye's shifted over towards the Alpha's behind the desk, Ruji then standing up to his full height and then looked at them"So Thats why im here huh" he'd say asking a rhetorical question before looking at Cho his eyes glowing a bright gold "no disrespect but why should I shift forms that guys not even worth I can beat him with shifting , plus I'm never able to control myself for very long so I might actually end up hurting the kid if your okay with that then whatever but I donr wanna hear about it later if I go to far" Ruji would say turning to face the Alpha's though this was more of a taunt than Ruji trying to be rebellious he wanted to see what made Cho Rick and if being looked down on didnt due it Cho had a lot more self control than Ruji specially being under the full moon, Ruji was hoping that he could get Cho angry enough to Charge in and Attack him.-

Cho watched as the kick was blocked but at least one of his punches made it to connect properly! He felt the impact but when he went to throw the second one, it was caught in his opponents grasp! “Have to throw the last one!” he thought. He could see his opponent drawing his longer reach arm back to throw it in Cho’s eye and much to his dismay or disliking Cho never stopped throwing the last punch! Using his free arm, Ruji’s punch connected to Cho’s eye, hitting it dead on and causing Watering,  however Cho’s third punch would’ve indeed landed as he persued to continue throwing it even with Ruji throwing his own counter punch. Should it connect, the pain may be delayed but it would play into any form of attack cho may choose to take next. Cho also ended up taking a gut shot, the two men punching each other in the mid sections! Cho felt the very air leave his lungs and with a gasp Cho would’ve also jumped back! Holding his abdomen in his arms, and groaning.

Cho: Good…punch mate! Ngh!

He stood up beating his chest, as the wolfblood elders had spoken by this time.

“So Thats why im here huh.”

*\_The Elders looked to Ruji seeing he had more to say\_*

"no disrespect but why should I shift forms that guys not even worth I can beat him with shifting , plus I'm never able to control myself for very long so I might actually end up hurting the kid. if you’re okay with that then whatever but I dont want to hear about it later if I go to far"

\_Logan: Young man you will hear whatever we wish you to hear. We are trying to breed respect within  you, as it, along with humility are traits an Alpha must possess in order to lead a pack successfully. If you’re as good as you say, then do not weap for the peon you are supposedly fighting.\_

\_Cho chuckled at this notion, rubbing his eye a little bit. It was blacked around the edge, but he could still see out of it. Enough to continue on anyway. He folded his arms.\_

\_Cho: Yeah this Peon isn’t exactly interested in your reindeer games. I’m outta here, and if you’re gaurds try and give me shit about it, I’m kicking their asses too.\_

\_Lucas: -waves the Cho off- What a waste of potential.\_

\_???: I figured he’d leave. Ah the youth are such a funny lot.\_

\_Logan: -folds his arms onto the tables edge- You. You fight like someone I know. Who is your teacher young Wolfling?\_

\_Cho: -turned and looked at Logan- Connor Ryoji. What’s it to ya?\_

\_Logan: -spoken with a condescending tone- Ahhh. “That one” He was a rather strong opponent in the past. If he is your teacher it explains the lack of discipline and training.\_

\_Cho: -Snarls- Hey! You leave Mr.Connor outta this! He’s a good teacher, and he doesn’t need an organization of flea bags to tell him how to run things!\_

\_???: You disrespectful little-\_

\_Logan: this organization of flea bags determine your status in this city. We could have you exiled at a breathe. Now stay and complete this trial or leave this city tonight.\_

\_Cho found himself getting angry, not at Ruji, but more so at the elder wolfbloods. His blood was boiling and the full moon didn’t help. Cho began barring his fangs, and crouching a bit lower than usual, as he shook his head back and forth. In doing so a voice struck his ear, the same male voice he’d been hearing the past few days.\_

\_???: A True Marital Artist NEVER let’s someone talk down on their skills OR their master. Don’t take this, show them what you can do. \_

\_Cho stomped back towards the center of the ring, and turned towards Ruji! His ears emerged from raven locks, and his tail fluffed from the backside of his jeans. His fangs bared, and eyes dilated Cho began growling after almost every breathe he took. \_

\_Cho: You can talk down on me but not my sensei! And don’t call me kid bub, I’m sure we’re in the same god damn grade! Now you want a real show, you’d best bring you’re a-game cause if you don’t I’m gonna mop the floor with you! \_

Cho began to breathe in, taking in what seemed like inhuman amounts of air and as he did his neck would’ve swelled up a bit! Using a maneuver he only learned to do instinctually in his half wolf form, Cho would’ve flung his head forward and unleashed a roar! The roar however came out in the form of a push blast! The sound wave solidified by Fortification Chi and thrown at Ruji!

The blanketed wave spanned a good 5 feet wide and 5 feet tall, in a blanket of blurry air that rushed towards him at the speed of a bullet! If it connected, it would’ve impacted Ruji with the force of a 60mph car, sending his body flying straight back towards the wall behind him, with cracks spanning 10 feet form around the point of impact! Of course if it missed, it would’ve been merely to bait the Wolfblood into transforming showing him that Cho was going to get very serious from this point on. He stood there, with his hands drooped down in front of him, hunched over slightly in what looked like no real fighting form. His eyes fixated on Ruji, as were his senses. The kid gloves had come off finally.

## III

*The battle between the two wolfbloods began to heat up in intensity and flair! Both Ruji and Cho now in their halfwolf forms were giving the fight everything they had! The sounds of roars, growls, and howls filled the room of the Order, while shortly after would’ve come the sound of punches, kicks, and bones cracking. The two would’ve fought each other for hours, damn near to a complete stand still before Cho seemingly began to lose control of himself! He began fighting more like a beast than a man, and while Ruji was able to handle this change just fine the Order had seen enough! They demanded the match stop where it was and this brought a pause to Cho’s face. The two at first contiued fighting, the both of them actually cracking smiles across their faces.*

Cho: What’s the big idea? The match is just getting started!

Logan: We’ve seen enough…you’ve shown great strength as far as your fighting capabilities go, but your control over the wolf inside is poor quality. You are hereby declared the loser, and Ruji wins by show of fortitude.

Cho: That’s bullshit!! You can’t just give him the wing when I’m not even down! –He stomps over to the desk and slams his hands down on it, looking logan in the face- This has got to be some kind of personal bias towards me! You can’t do this!

Lucas: We can and we will. This is a unanimous decision and will be enforced. Please leave, we will be keeping contact with –

Cho: No! Screw you guys! I don’t want anything to do with this stupid Order of the moon business! It’s all pure bullshit if you ask me!

*Cho took his jacket off of his waist and began putting it on, making his way towards the door, and turning around to look at the Wolfbloods in the room before he bothered to speak again.*

Cho: You know what’s messed up?? The Order of the moon is nothing but another race card. We look after our own and that’s fine, but there are other people like us! Not just Wolfbloods but supernatural creatures in general who face the same struggles with secrery we do, maybe even worse! Instead of these stupid ideaologies you hold onto with your grey ass hairs, you should get with the program! Say what you want about Mr.Connor but at least he isn’t afraid to change his view for a better outcome unlike you jerks!

*Cho slammed the door on is way out, and Ruji would’ve turned to address the order of the moon. Lucas spoke up for him instead, informing him that he had passed his test and that they were to meet here tomorrow along with his father in order to talk about his Alpha training and his induction into the future generation of the Order of the moon. Cho had took off into the night, regretting even coming to this meet in the first place.*
