Weaponry Training [Lone]

Nol wanted to learn the finer points of modern weapons, so he would try to find a place where he could learn. He would need to go to the bad part of town, where they wouldn't need an identification card or anything of the sort, as he simply wanted to learn. He would go to a shooting range perhaps, or maybe simply one of those pawn shops that would sell him a gun for cheap. As he walked towards the bad part of the neighborhood, he quickly noticed that it was getting a bit sketchy. A lot of the shops were vandalized in some way, and even the people started only hanging around in groups. This seemed like the neighborhood to get some training in, beating up these want to be thugs. These guys seemed to be nothings, but the people were too afraid to get out of their houses it seemed. Well, Nol casually walked through the neighborhood, and quickly caught the attention of the undesirables. He had his gloves on, and they were bright red, along with his dark red jacket. It seemed that the people of this neighborhood only wore blue, and took the color red offensively. Something such as colors invoking such hostile behavior seemed silly, but then again, bulls did so too.

The people walked up, and started to mess with him, asking if he was in a gang, not in those words, but Nol could tell, and started shoving him. Nol was easily excitable sometimes, and quickly dispatched the people. One got a punch to the throat, another a kick to the inner leg while another got a rib shot. The three went down pretty quickly, and then he simply worked the bodies until the people could barely move. He yawned and stretched, it not even being a warm up, and simply continued to the pawn shop, which conveniently had a gun range as well. The three gang members gladly gave up their money.

Riding his motorcycle like a casual old day for him Lone Star was rather furious as he hadn't actually known what happened at his home. He came back and everything was taken from him except a fucking bow and some weird ass arrows. And some old red motorcycle. His suit was gone. His helmet was gone. He found some old suit in his closet but he hadn't remembered where it came from. He just knew it was there. But he didn't want to wear it. He simply wore a red short sleeve shirt with some black jeans and some black combat boots. You know just incase he was going to fight or anything today. He had his normal black hair in his usual ponytail and he continued to ride his bike down the streets of new york. This specific area was in the Manhattan area. Mainly where there use to be alot of shopping districts until it was closed down in favor of a new area taking over mainly the 34th street strip. But yes this area was known to house some members of the Crip Gang. You know the long term rivals of the bloods and those guys who hate the color red. Oh the irony. Anyway Lone Star parked his motorcycle as he got off of it sitting down were his bow and arrows in some weird compartment that this specific bike came with. Ya know Lone Star would need to use this bike again someday. So yes as he got off the bike he heard lots of fussing coming from about a block over. Lone Star knew he was going to walk over and find out. Just because he was him.

Anyway as he turned the corner he would notice an all out brawl where a pair of red gloves can be seen in the mix of it all. Hrm these crips were really serious about their hood ey? Anyway as Lone Star began to approach the area he was tapped on the shoulder turning around and seeing a fist come direction towards his face allowing him to sway out of the way and flip the man wearing all blue from head to toe. Lone Star would then step on the mans neck causing him to cough up blood officially being dead. More men would come around Lone Star and begin to surround him. Quickly about 7 men in total surrounded Lone Star which caused him to smile as 3 men pulled out blades. 2 behind him and 1 infront of him. As the 2 from behind charged him Lone Star would duck out of the way pulling both their legs. Left and right respectively and then spinning them around in circles. Luckily these men were skinny but while he did this he had a weird grip around their ankle bones gripping them tightly causing them to scream in pain. From there he would put them down as their friends jumped back screaming out "Oh shit". As the two men landed Lone Star would jump directly on both their backs probably fracturing their spines. They started bleeding out and Lone Star would pick up their knives as the 5 men began to circle him once again. This was going to be sad.

I seemed that there were these specific type of gang members all around the neighborhood, and as Nol turned around, he noticed that he wasn't the only one that wasn't liked by these people. As he looked, there was a man surrounded by quite a few of the people, and he wasn't being as kind to them as Nol was, as he was pretty sure at least 2 of them that were on the floor were dead. Nol didn't particularly care, considering they had knives, and their intent was most likely to kill anyways, so Nol simply shrugged and walked over there. The group was pretty focused on him, ans he had picked up their knives, so they didn't see Nol walk up from behind. He targeted the two people that were behind the man, simply because they probably thought they were hot stuff, maybe able to get a sneak attack from behind. This wasn't going to happen, simply because the enemy of Nol's enemy was his friend, so to speak. Nol had a new fighting style he wanted to try out on actual targets, and it only took him half a second to see where their pressure points were, and he simply tapped the back of their neck with his finger tips, and they instantly fell over, knocked out and unable to breathe. The power of this new found energy he had was amazing, and he needed to train it to make full use of it's power. Simply touching someone could kill them. Anyways, Nol would take out the two causing the immediate back stab threat, so this guy, who was clearly good at combat, would have no trouble at all dispatching the rest, especially since there would be no surprises.

After the people would be dispatched, Nol would put a smirk on his face like he always did, and then look at the man. "So, I highly doubt someone as skilled as you is in an opposing gang, right? I'm Nol, and I'm a fighter. What brings you to a sketchy part of the city?" Nol's smirk was simply learned from years of messing with his opponents, but it was more lighthearted. A fellow fighter, and one that was fairly ruthless gained some respect points with Nol, as it seemed like this guy had to fight to survive, much like Nol. Although, Nol had to fight off insane demons and monsters, but the idea was the same. Fight or die.

So yes as men began to drop around Lone Star the dynamic of the fight quickly changed. Two men behind Lone Star fell and he didn't know what to think of it because he really didn't care. He was only here for one thing. To see that guy who was also being jumped. So yes with those 2 men down. Lone Star focused on the three infront of him. How did he know it was only 3 left? Well the thud sound from behind indicated 2 people fell thus giving Lone Star accurate knowledge from his battle knowledge. So yes one man swung on Lone Star causing him to sway back like before and come down low punching the man in the chest literally dewinding his chest causing him to gasp for air. Swiftly he would come up for an elbow to the back of the mans neck causing him to fall down to the ground twitching and bleeding from the mouth. The last two men would just stand there before they both charged Lone Star causing him to use the knifes in hand and stab them both in the neck causing them to bleed out gasping for air just like their friends. After that Lone Star would double headbutt them by banging their heads together the he pushed them causing them to fall over like two stone walls or something. That was it. Now as for those two that remained damn near dead on the floor. Who was the mystery man who helped him? Actually. Who was the brave soul that interfered in Lone Stars affairs in general. IT was probably the guy Lone Star saw getting jumped awhile back. Lone Star whom had blood on his face from the squirting of the dead crip members turned around to look at the man whom he expexted it to be. Lone Star would have no facial expression on his face as he looked at the man directly in the eyes. Was a fight about to happen?

Words escaped the mans mouth whom was addressing Lone star and he spoke of Lone's exceptional skills as a fighter and wondered if he was in a gang or not. He also wanted to know what Lone Star was doing in these parts of town.. This man also appeared to be a fighter. This could be really fun or really annoying. Anyway Lone Star would reply with his facial expression still being blank "Who are you? Do I know you? I think... I'm Lone Star... Thats the name people called me. I don't know you but I probably do. I'm sorry but my life before last month is totally blank. You are the first person whom actually addressed me that doesn't work for my father.." With that said Lone Star quickly prepared himself for a fight as he through his hands going into his traditional Muay Thai stance. But as he did this another flash back had began to happen. It was a man... He was holding the same bo staff he has.... And he was teaching a blonde little girl how to fight.. Like he was training her. Not much could be made out of this picture but that is all he could see. Quickly Lone Star jumped forward coming overhead with a right downward crane kick towards his enemy aiming at his left shoulder.

As Nol introduced himself, it seemed that the man was a bit hesitant to simply chat, and this was to be expected, the man was just jumped by a lot of people with weapons, so it was understandable. It seemed this man had some sort of amnesia, and said that he was only being talked to by those who worked for his father. Apparently someone wanted to capture him, but Nol didn't get too much time to think, as the man jumped forward into a heel kick, the man was aiming towards Nol's left shoulder. Well, this was simple enough, as he was judging the distance between them, and the distance he would need to travel to be at the perfect spot. She shuffled forward as the kick was coming down, and he was able to simply grab the ankle of the man, which was most likely the softest spot to grab, as the other spots such as the heel and calf were probably toughened and would harm Nol's hand. He grabbed the man's ankle and simply kept moving forward, sliding under the man with his foot following swiftly behind. This would cause the man to flip forward, and land on the street on his back. Not anything too damaging, simply something to slightly knock the wind out of him. The kick was fairly strong, and if Nol wasn't wearing his gloves, he would have had a slight hand injury, but he was lucky enough to always wear them. Nol simply turned around, and looked at the man. Whether he was successful at making the man land on his back or not, Nol would simply tell him. "Calm yourself, although I do wish to spar you, as you seem like a good fighter, I'm on a mission. And don't worry, it has nothing to do with you. I'm simply trying to learn about weaponry." Nol was amazing at keeping completely calm in times of strife, especially any type of combat. He was calm, composed, and knew exactly what he was doing. When it came to close ranged combat, he was extremely deadly, now more than ever because of the intense training he had gone through.

As he went for his kick Lone Star couldn't help but feel he was doing something he had done before. It was like his life kept repeating itself but he hadn't really known how. Something about his past was going to give. Sooner or later. There would be no complete mental break for him to find out whom he was so he had to go find out by getting into situations like this. Was he going to win this fight? He didn't even know that. But yet he tried anyway. Only to further his pain and get more sleep.. To learn if he was someone whom was hunted or to see if he was the hunter.. But yes. With his leg coming down it was greeted by a hand from the man in question. Right then and there Lone Star smiled because he was waiting to see what the man had next for him. Quickly and swiftly the man picked Lone Stars free leg causing him to fall on his back splashing in a puddle of water which would splash upward and cause a memory to awaken.. He was infront of an Agency.. No a building. It seemed to be a research building. Something about it.. The inside it wasn't normal. Quickly the memory ended as Lone Star was now back in reality real time. This man was actually quite skilled because most wouldn't have picked the ankle and went for such a move and his ankle pick knocked the wind out of Lone Star. That was pretty damn unique. Lying on the ground in his puddle Lone would notice drops beginning to fall from the skies remembering it was rain season in New York. Words once again escaped that other mans mouth. He did indeed want to spar but it was somewhat much more then that to lone star.. He wanted the man to remain calm but that wasn't an option for a man who didn't know who to trust. He spoke of wanting to learn new weaponry and Lone Star began to smile as the rain drops began to pour down soaking his shirt and his hair. Kipping up Lone Star would jump pass his opponent while reaching in his pocket pulling out a bo staff. As Lone Star began to twirl the staff he spoke some soft toned words "If weaponry is what you seek.. Weaponry is what you shall receive."

The man seemed to go down in a bit of a shock, going blank for a moment, before getting up. It seemed that the man was thinking about something very deeply, as he laid in a puddle. The rain started to trickle down, and it seemed that the man wasn't going to simply give up, so Nol would make to make him it seemed. Nol sighed, still with a smirk on his face, while activating the unique ability of his Hakkeshou. A large divination circle appeared below the man, with Nol on the outskirts of it, the man being in the center. Unless the man could see chi in it's raw form, he wouldn't know what was going on. The divination circle was there, and Nol could see the chi flow within the man's body. It seemed that the man was having a strange blockage of energy within his skull, which was preventing some of the chi from flowing outright. Nol wasn't quite good enough to alleviate whatever was blocking the chi flow, but he thought of learning it. Nol was a lot faster than most of the humans here, so he wasn't concerned with the man's staff, but was rather concerned that the man didn't truly know where he was. It seemed that he was hostile for no reason, and Nol would swiftly change that. He mustered up a bit of speed, and rushed his opponent within the circle. He could still see the flow of the man's chi, meaning he could predict his movements slightly. Once Nol was within striking distance, he would make sure to look carefully at the staff, and then jut around to the rest of the man's body, looking for the sudden flow of chi that would signal he was about to move that body part, and avoid whatever attack the man might have. It was then, that Nol would use his incredibly fast arm speeds, to simply tap the man's two shoulders, and then the two thighs. This would send a burst of chi into the body, which would render the man's limbs rather useless. Nol would be in a ready stance, his left leg behind him, ready to circle around any counter attacks.

Standing there preparing for battle Lone Star wasn't prepared for what his opponent was about to do next. Instantly he would burst out with an attack that mainly rendered his shoulders useless before knocking out his thighs sending him down to his knees with no pain and no feeling.. His chi was blocked. How the hell did this man master the art of pressure point damage? Not the easiest thing to do but not the hardest either. Quite frankly Lone Star shouldn't actually be surprised. As he fell to his knees Lone Star would drop his bo staff as he was looking into the sky in somewhat of a trance with the rain dripping down on his face. Quickly his mind went blank before he reemerged in a different world. Or he was looking at a different world. Here there was the same man he always saw.. He was in a bathroom doing something with his hair. He was dying it from the looks of it. As he would wash the rinse into his hair it matched the same color as Lone Stars.. This was very confusing. Lone Star hadn't really known what to make of this. This man had the same outfit Lone Star normally wore. It was unusual to see this suit. Last time Lone Star checked the weird red suit in his closet was the only one that existed but he was wrong.. Or was this man him? Quickly a flashback would shift and take Lone Star to another time. Here he was sitting at a table cutting a roll of salami with an arrow tip as a file was thrown on the desk. Looking at it you could see Lone Star... With the name Donnille Hines aka Red Arrow.. S.H.I.E.L.D agent. What the hell was this? As the man in the flashback began to speak Lone Star would awake in the real world gasping for air as he was still on the ground. Quickly his body pumped back into action rolling back to a wall not sure as to what actually happened to him.

The man had been struck by all four of Nol's blows, rendering his legs useless for a short time. The man simply fell forward, but twisted his body so that he fell on his back instead of his face. The man seemed to simply be paralyzed, although Nol didn't cause any blocking to the chi in his head, the man was deep in thought. It seemed that this man had suffered some sort of head injury, or perhaps his mind had been toyed with by a telepath. This thought brought him back to Nameless, and Nol began to wonder if that man had messed with Nol's mind, to make them allies. Nol thought about it, and it seemed very frightening, that someone had that much power over your mind, that they can replace anything that they would like, and even make the man believe that he wasn't even controlled. He snapped back when the man made a sudden movement, and ended up leaning against a nearby wall, as the rain started to pick up in intensity. "Are you calm now? You seem to have something troubling you quite a bit." Nol enjoyed the man's strange actions, but it seemed he was limited because of whatever mental problems he was currently experiencing. These needed to be dealt with, because a limited sparring partner was a bit lame, and no competition at all. Nol loved the sense of competition that sparring gave, and so he would attempt to work through this problem. Was a strange concept for Nol, helping someone else, but it was for a very selfish reason, so he made up his mind. He would simply wait for the man to speak again.

So yes. There he was. Lone Star. He felt awkward and confused. He had just found out more about his possible life but he was more lost then ever. Was he really in this organization before? Had he been someone to work for such a place? And why did he leave? Or why was he fired? Answers. Something just wasn't right about this situation and Lone Star just needed answers. Quickly he would realize where he was. Somewhere in New York. He was fighting he was fighting a man.. This man helped him do what he wanted. This man helped him see his past. The longer this fight would go on the more Lone Star would probably learn about himself. As odd as that may have sounded he needed this to happen. But yes there he was. Leaning on this pole when the man whom seemingly freed him from his pain began to speak. He wanted to know if Lone was calm now. He wanted to know if he wasn't troubled anymore.. But Lone Star was troubled still. If anything he was more troubled then before. He really needed to get that taken care of. But anyway the rain began to come down very hard at this point but the sun was out. When Lone Star witnessed this a flashback happened. In his mind he saw himself as a child or someone he believed to be himself get told a folklore by someone a female. She spoke "You know they said when the sun shines during rain bad people are being punished". Quickly Lone flashed back into reality where he took off his shirt and kicked off his boots taking his natural shotokan counter stance and glared down the man who was helping him in more way then one. "For your help I shall give you what you want.. A fight. A fight with a man who has nothing and wants nothing" With those words said Lone Star began to separate his feet and prepare for the battle.

Nol was a bit annoyed at the man now, it seemed that being disabled wasn't quite enough, as he snapped back rather quickly, saying something about when the sun shone through the rain, that bad people were being punished. Nol didn't really care for the superstitions of the people of this planet, because he knew nothing like that was really true. It seemed that this man was angry, as he took off his shirt before getting into a proper stance. The man then said he'd give Nol a fight, but Nol wasn't really impressed, considering that wasn't what he was out there for, he had a plan, and he was going to stick to it. Nol simply turned around and started walking towards the pawn shop. "Nah, I'm good man. I want a fight, but not as you are now. Besides, the only reason I came out here was to learn more about weapons." Nol would simply look back at the man, who still seemed to have some issues to work out, and threw a two fingered wave to the man. "I can't babysit you through whatever the hell yur going through, fix your damn problems then find me again." Nol had the arrogant smirk on his face, and he sort of meant to offend the man, as he was in no condition for a full out fight. Nol could tell the man was confused, angry, and way too eager to simply throw fists. Nol could simply sense the sloppiness and there wouldn't be much of a challenge in it anyways. So, the challenge was offered that the man would need to work out his own mental problems first, and then they would have their spar. As Nol walked away, he looked up into the rain, and simply smiled at it. There was no rain in Naraka, and water falling from the heavens made for a beautiful sight. This day was going fairly strange, but Nol needed to focus on his current task, and so he headed to the pawn shop.

[exit]

As Lone Star stood in his stance prepared for battle he was more then surprised when the man turned him down for an official fight. He said he didn't want to fight Lone Star the way he was now. Not really sure what that meant. The man simply walked away before turning back around to give Lone a farewell and a few words that somewhat angered Lone. Having a smirk on his face this guy was sure about himself and Lone was going to enjoy that. He would have to learn alot about fighting and himself if he ever hoped for a rematch with that guy. Quickly Lone Star would began walking back to his bo staff which he easily kneeled down and picked up before walking towards the motorcycle of his wearing nothing but pants. his hand was drenched in water and so was he. As the rain stopped Lone finally reached his motorcycle before he got a weird text of someone being shot at. He knew this was going to be the day he learned more about himself but the question was what exactly? Driving off into the sunset Lone would smirk thinking about the man he would soon get a rematch with.
