Jay and Garuda: A Test of Skills

[|The SHAKINATOR|]

As Garuda finished repairing the damage Jay had caused to the ship Dojo, he noticed Jay had come down to the dojo with his equipment for perhaps another training session. 'Not going to happen' Garuda thought to himself as he approached his crew-mate and rival.

"Hey Hot-Shot, ... Going for another training session?" Garuda asked in a tone of voice that was both deceiving and sarcastic. By no means was it an innocent, friendly question. There was much more to it than that and before Jay could reply, Garuda cut him. "Not going to happen mate, not after the mess you created last time. Your lucky I didn't drag you down and make you clean it up." Garuda waited a moment before coming straight out with a proposal. "Tell you what, that little mess around with Sam didn't do me any good and after that little bout with those Neko Pirates, I need someone to test my new abilities out on someone before this tournament heads down. And a little birdy told me, you stumbled across some shiny new toys, so how about it Jay. Want to have a sparring contest...?"
Garuda had a plan worked out already, for he had been thinking through some battle strategies whilst the others were dancing and partying and he was fixing he ship.

"Lets show you something to help you make up your mind." Garuda offered as he pulled a sheet of metal before him. One similar to those you would use to repair the body of a ship. "Watch this," Garuda boasted before ripping his teeth into the metal, his large molars and heavy jaw making good work of the material. Chewing it to small lumps before swallowing them down his throat. "Pooru, Pooru No Pooru..." Garuda yelled out as the skin in his palms split, revealing two large battens made up of a hybrid material, consisting of Metal and Bone.

"Have I interested you yet?" Garuda questioned with a silly grin across his face. The two metal poles resting in his hands.

Jay walked into the dojo but realized that he walked into the wrong one. This was the dojo the sparring match happened in before some unexpected company showed up. Before he could leave he was spotted by Garuda, who before anything was said he talked over him. All he could was smile, because up until now before they could battle there was some form of interruption. Not this time though, it was just them two on the battlefield. Jay's face began to light up and a huge grin crossed his face. Then his head began to tilt as he showed his new powers. “What the hell?....” he said with a very puzzled face. Garuda ripped through metal with his teeth like it was a slice of bread. This intrigued him, this made him want to fight him even more. “Well since your showing off, I got something also.” he said with a cocky tone. He set his gourd and satchel down to the side.

Since his jacket was was already unzipped there was no reason to keep it on. He threw it off to the side, making another dent in the deck. “Oops guess your gonna have to fix that also.” he said as he took off his bangles. He was not messing around he planned to pull out all the stops and tryout his new equipment. He opened his bag, revealing his new equipment. The arms were the first thing that was shown. He placed them on the ground laid out, also took the clawed boots out of the bag. He threw the bag off to the side. “Lets do this,” he said as he threw the gear into the air. He launched into the air and slid his arms into the gauntlets, they snapped onto his arms and shoulders as he flipped. He flipped one leg up sliding it straight into the first boot and then kicked the other foot into the other boot.

He curled up into a ball and landed crouching down. He stood up as the back armor landed on his back. He took a stance spreading his legs out and flexing his hands like claws. “Adramelech and Durga.” he said calmly showing them off. The arms were a bright silver lined with red, and the boots where also silver but black lined. “By the way I thought you never ask, so lets get down to business shall we?” he said in his stance.

(OOC: Might as well finish this off now.)

Just as the two were about to clash against each other to determine who was the better fighter, the roar of their captain from the deck got them to stop what they were doing, drop their stances and sigh in disbelief. It seemed like their battle couldn't commence as, from the sound of Haseo's voice, they had arrived at the calm belt, which only meant dangerous sea-kings to fight and other pirates who had made it thus far. Under the circumstances, his two most willing fighters had to be by his side.

"Guess we will have to continue this some other time Jay, but believe you me, we will but right now I think we got some sea-king meat to slay. Lets see who can bring down the biggest one?"

With that said Garuda turned even the smallest thing of running up to the deck a competition as he went speeding off up the flight of stairs.

This rivalry based on friendship, or friendship based on rivalry was definitely getting stronger and more heated, it was only a matter of time before they would get the chance to complete this little bout of theirs but when would it be? Only time could answer that question as fate had many plans and problems lined up for this adventurous crew.

The two fighters had finally got their chance to duke it out. It was now just them staring each other down preparing themselves for combat. Before they could finally clash there was a loud yelling that could be none other than the captain. Jay was not happy at all, he had been itching for this fight for a long time.

They were best friends but they were both determined to be better than the other. This was the best kind of friendship anyone could have. They stared each other down but they both backed down because the captain needed his men. He shook his head began to disengage the locks on his equipment. He took them off and placed them back in his bag.

“Luck is on your side once again my friend.” he said with a grin on his face. He knew that his rival was strong and their battle will be on a colossal level. Yet, there is a time and place for everything. He packed his things up and put his weights back on and began to go to his room. “Hey let Haseo know I will be there in a second I have to run to my room for something.” he explained. He stayed in the dojo in for a moment and just let his mind wonder. “I have to be the strongest no matter what, even if it means throwing my life away.” he thought to himself.
