week 2

[With the sudden pirate takeover and the sudden, tragic deaths of the crew, the second week of the Starfield Penitentiary rehabilitation project is off to a rough start. After Price's call for parlay with the pirate captain, he was not seen for the remainder of Saturday but around 10 pm it is his calm but tense voice that makes the time announcement.

Buckle in, Champions, things are about to get bumpy.]

Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday

Someone has to.

[but once it's clear he'll just. toss off that towel and step in, cracking his neck]

Ahahaha. [Dudely is right behind him, half-limping to the opposite side of the ring and cracking the knucklea on his organic hand.]

Don't forget, Warlord, this is a one-time deal.

Of course. Rick, would you count us down.

[He's already moving back in to a fighting stance. Anyone who's already fought him, or watched him fight, can probably tell that there's something a little bit more focused here.

As if everyone else was just a warm up, and now that it's the main event, he's actually taking this seriously.]

Right. Right.

I wanna see a good...clean fight. But I also wanna see you beat the shit out of Blaze. So, do the later.

[alright: lets make this happen.]

5. 4. 3. 2. 1. Go.

[And while he may not be as fast as he is when he bears the gauntlet, when Akande wants to move? He fucking moves. They've already seen what it looks like when someone unskilled charges Dudely, but Akande's hardly a child. He's coming in low, right arm pulled back for a gut punch, clearly holding nothing back.

Not that he necessarily was with others, but he's absolutely putting his all in to this fight]

[Dudely lets out another low chuckle, hunkering down and looking like he's bracing himself for an impact-

-just before he moves to the left, just bately dodging Akande with the same surprising speed both he and Scraggly showed.]

[...okay, Dudely's mobility really is on par with a cyborg ninja and a girl who dances through time. Duly noted. Which is fine, he defeated both, but- at least he's got proximity, now?

He follows it up with another punch, and then another- a quick series of jabs and feints, trying to get through that guard. If he can just land one...]

[Blaze Dudely isn't quite on par with Tracer's speed or Genji's acrobatics but one thing is clear with every dodge amd duck and sidestep: he has experience in fights like this, where his opponent has a clear size advantage.

Can't go down if you don't get hit. Akande manages to graze him once or twice, enough to get a grimace out of him but not to the point of distraction.]

Havin' trouble, [duck, side step] boyo?

Are you? [He's expecting a strike any moment, but none's coming. Why is there none coming.] Or are you trying to tire me out?

[It's a valid strategy. Too bad Akande's got some excellent endurance. He abruptly switches methods, trying for a favored method of his earlier opponents; a sweep at Dudely's legs]

[oh shit, who knew Doomfist trained at the Kobra Kai dojo?

The leg sweep does catch him off-guard for a moment but he barely manages to bounce back and avoid it. Then the grin drops from his face and his red eye glows brighter.]

Not anymore.

[Doomfist has trained at many dojos. Many, many dojos. That, experience, and a so-called natural ability has taught him how to read a battle-

-and he suddenly has a Very Bad Feeling about this.

Nonetheless, he tries to press the attack, trying to keep Blaze too off guard to counter. He knows he's fast, he knows he can (apparently) take a hit, but with Akande crowding in, trying for another uppercut, surely he can avoid the worst of it]

[Oh, Akande. You may have trained in many dojos but Blaze Dudely's training is a whole other skill set: the dirty bar fight.

The uppercut comes close, with Dudely barely dodges when he leans back away from his fist, at the same time pulling back his robotic arm and, giving a moment's pause for the grin to creep back onto hia face, drives it home into Akande's gut.]

[Dirty bar fights aren't completely out of his range. Hell, Akande's taken gut punches before; plenty of them.

He has not, however, taken one like this. Not one that not only sweeps him off his feet- but completely out of the ring. The sheer force of the strike sends him in to the far wall, where a loud crack is heard.

The only thing keeping him from sliding to the floor is the fact there is now an Akande-shaped imprint in the metal wall.

K.O.]

[...]

[Gonna try to sneak away before he gets pulled into the ring himself. NOPE.]

[Pyrrha's shock lasts for a split second before she's racing over to Akande, concern overwhelming the other emotions. When she reaches the Akande-shaped hole in the wall, she immediately checks to see if he's still alive.]

[Akande is limp, there is blood trickling from his mouth, and there appears to be some coming from the back of his skull as well - but he is breathing.

He will also likely have a hell of a headache when he wakes up.]

[Immediately, Pyrrha turns to Rick, who is there.]

I have bandages! Keep him there, I'll be right back!

[And ya girl is sprinting out of there fast like you wouldn't believe.]

Right, ri- yeah.

[okay he's definitely gonna try to keep him stable until she gets back]

[well were you planning on pulling him down from the hole or just keeping him in there

like he's not at concern of falling in the immediate moment but yeah he ain't waking up anytime soon]

[of course he's gonna pull him out of the fucking hole toni you dipshit]

[thank you for keeping him from being the next edgar

akande is no longer the one in the hole]

[see i wish i understood that reference but im just imagining edgar from the aristocats

whatever rick is flicking his eye on and definitely gonna start looking him up and down]

[what the fuck is wrong with you

ANYWAY he seems to have some abdominal trauma as well as some on his skull. His cybernetic enhancements seem to have taken the edge off most of the trauma, reducing what probably would have been a lethal collision to one he could heal from given the chance.

Probably.

~~If he isn't murdered first.~~

TL;DR GIVE THE BOY SOME ICE AND SIT HIS ASS IN BED FOR A WHILE]

okay so on one hand ricks first instinct. his very first, rickstinct, is to jump up into the ring and fucking. climb on dudley's back and bite into his neck like a fucking gremlin.

on the other hand. something distinctly un-rick is telling him now to do that, and he hates it.

ugh.

okay he's gonna bolt the fuck over there oh my god this is bad]

Fuckfuckfuckfuc- [he doesn't even care about ya boy ham shh]
