February 15th, 2007. The rematch. Promotion; The USFC

After pulling off an upset victory over defensive wizard Wilfredo Pedroza, Midas climbs the light heavyweight rankings. eventually, he earns his rematch against a rival he and many others believe never really beat him.

After his shocking TKO victory over #1 contender Wilfredo Pedroza, Midas toppled the other contenders one by one.

After a big win, many fighters take time off training to rest and recuperate; to avoid injury. But not Midas, no no no.

Creator heightened Midas' training regimen to levels not thought possible even by the once incredibly endurant Rooney.

Midas had been chiseled into peak physical condition, but below the surface, he could feel physical predictions of what could very possibly be his downfall as a fighter.

But he knew what was next for him, the literal (courtesy of creator) and metaphorical aches and pains of his loss to Dark had boiled and festered. He wanted this; he was hungry for it, starving even.

and during training, he finally got his wish.

"see that?" creator barked while they watched dark's last fight.

"He's uncomfortable with the pace..." Rooney observed.

"that's right, I've upped the intensity for a reason. if It's geared to pour it on all 20 rounds it won't even go 20."

Rooney cringed inwardly at the backhanded description creator seemed oh so eager to use.

Rooney continued his observation. in a game of jabs, dark was unmatched. He blasted his left jab with authority now, abandoning the whipping jab that only seemed to bother the younger Midas in their first fight.

He used it as his Pacemaker, he used it wisley and sparingly; timing it just right.

creator had left to finalize some fights with the commission, so Rooney continued watching.

He'd been so silent Rooney had nearly forgotten he was there.

"Don't listen to "im kid, you're not an it." Midas was confused as to what Rooney meant by this but nodded his head in understanding.

He had noticed that every time creator referred to him, Rooney would make a certain face. He wasn't sure what to make of it, but it couldn't have been good.

He could scarcely understand why. it never bothered him because creator had just always referred to him that way.

The two watched in comfortable silence, formulating a gameplan.

Rooney spoke up.

"It's all a system." He declared.

"Everything comes off of that jab; the cross, the left hook, the combinations all start with the jab." He braced his hands on his knees in thought.

"The first step to dismantling this system is to shut down his jab and force him to fight your way, at your pace." He turns to Midas

"You're not gonna be shifting your feet as much, not at the start anyways. as long as he can land that jab on you, he'll force you into a long-range sniping battle at his pace. So, starting tomorrow, we're gonna focus on countering the jab from your "native" southpaw stance." Rooney stands up and assumes a right-handed stance. He beckons Midas to stand as well.

"From an orthodox stance, the right jab from southpaw comes at a very odd angle; instead of coming straight at you, it either comes over your shoulder or it comes from inside your own jab." Rooney throws a very slow jab at him.

Reacting on instinct, he pulls back at an angle and arcs a slow right hook that still seems to catch Rooney off guard.

He smiles

"Good thinkin' kid, that works like a charm as well."

The two had drilled how to counter the jab endless times, Rooney had also taught him the art of the high-guard.

"The common misconception with the high-guard that's even done by people at a high level is that the high-guard is just putting your hands up and taking punches on the guard. now that KINDA works but let me show you the drawback. put your hands up."

Midas did as commanded, and Rooney threw a stiff hook on the side of his guard.

"Still hurt, right?" Midas nodded

"It didn't hurt as much but i still felt it."

"Even if your hands are up, damage is still damage. The high-guard isn't just some "keep your hands high and tight, then hope for the best." It's an art just like evasion and requires pristine timing to pull off."

Rooney put his hands up.

"Throw some at me." He ordered.

He threw a stiff salvo of lighter punches, but Rooney did something Midas had never seen in over 250 fights.

instead of just sitting there taking them, he only tightened his guard in the areas Midas' punches were gonna land, and he didn't even do it very much.

He timed blocks so that the momentum of the punches only grazed his guard and continued sailing by harmlessly.

for straight punches, He'd move his arms just slightly as if to parry, even taking one hand away from his guard to catch or parry a punch.

Rooney dropped his hands.

"Now that may look risky but Look at this. Put your hands up."

He held his hands up the same way Rooney did.

Rooney threw a slow straight right and he caught it the same way he did.

Rooney stayed in that position while explaining.

"With you catching my right hand, not only am i in a very vulnerable position, but i have only one punch i can follow up with." Rooney threw the left hook afterwards, and it landed harmlessly on Misas' guard.

He finally began to understand.

"The point isn't to make them miss, it's to limit their options." Rooney nodded.

"Exactly, and with your familiarity with the cross-guard you'll make for a jabber's worst nightmare."

as the fight drew closer, the Becker P.C was still very much alive, even with its owner fast asleep.

As it would seem, Midas wasn't the only one doing research on his opponent.

While not being thrilled with the idea of fighting such a difficult fight once again, as a celebrity, he had to put up with much ridicule following the first fight.

you were gifted that fight.

you better kiss the chief commissioner's feet for that decision!

They ought to put you in prison for grand larceny with that robbery!

It all made dark so bitter, so angry.

as the fight drew closer, he wanted nothing more than to punish the one he thought responsible; Midas.

'He's gotten bigger." Chosen said behind him.

in less comfortable silence, dark replied.

"...so have I."

"You were both far too young, must've been 16 when you two first fought."

"How old you think he was?"

"Probably around the same."

They were watching Midas' fight with Pedroza, who'd given dark all kinds of problems in their fight.

"He throws so many punches...how do you even beat that?"

"I like to think he's speeding, Pedroza's not putting up any "roadblocks" to stop his momentum." She looked to dark.

"Your jab will be that roadblock. If he starts speeding, slow him down a bit. see what im saying?" Dark nodded

The fight drew closer yet, until both were in their dressing rooms.

The training was over, now it was time from both sides to put their tactics to use.

"Deep breaths kid...Yeah, just like that." Rooney soothed Midas' growing nerves.

"You got butterflies in your stomach?" He was nervous to answer, any sign of weakness around creator usually resulted in whatever sadistic punishment creator seemed to have on his mind.

"You don't gotta answer. we all feel it. In fact, it's good that you feel it. it means you're here; it means you're alive. It means that you're not an it." Midas felt a strange sense of gratitude and... another emotion he just couldn't seem to name no matter how hard he tried.

"But if it helps, try to look at it less as fear, and more as excitement...like a roller coaster!" He looked up in confusion.

"A what?" Rooney looked like he was getting ready to explain but stopped himself.

"I'll take you to one someday..." Rooney trailed off as another emotion Midas couldn't name played across Rooney's eyes.

"Alright kid, you ready?" He put on his game face and nodded.

Rooney clicked the link, and they were transported to a snowy forest with c clearing in the middle and old, towering stone structures.

Once again, boulders littered the area for the amp rounds.

Dark and Midas eyed each other from their corners as the announcer announced.

"Ladies and gentlesticks, we introduce our main event for the light heavyweight championship of the world!"

"In the red corner, weighing in at 176 pounds even, standing at 6'2 inches with a record of 233 wins, 6 losses with 193 big wins by way of knockout; the champion, the dark lord!"

"And in the blue corner, weighing in at 174 and three-quarter pounds, standing at 6'2 and-a-half inches with a record of 268 wins, 9 losses and 241 big wins by way of knckout. introducing the challenger; MIDAS"

The crowd boomed their appreciation, and it would be far from their first time doing so.

The two approached each other in the middle of the arena, the snow on their skin doing nothing to ease the fire these two had.

"Alright boys im expecting a good, clean fight. fouls will be met with a warning first, then a point deduction. 3 point deductions will result in a disqualification. remember to protect yourself at all times and to obey my commands. Touch up and let's get started."

the buzzer sounded for the 1st round.

Midas first tried to jab his way in, using tricky footwork to outmaneuver his foe. He baitied darks jab and attempted to counter it with his own, but dark simply stepped back or side stepped to avoid it.

He eventually caught on that Midas would jab after faking so dark would quickly follow up his jab with another one and caught Midas several times.

He rethought his approach. Instead of rushing forwards to land his jab, he instead cut off the arena and attempted to corner him and get dark to react on fear.

He used this tactic well and managed to arc his own jab around Dark's shoulder. he even timed dark into his jab while dark was jabbing.

But ultimately, dark kept his jab more active. he almost certainly won the round.

"Alright kid, Hes not biting on any of these feints because you're not using them enough. make him pop his jab too early or too late, keep him guessing!" Rooney advised.

"I-I mean i don't even know what to say, that was a perfect round! keep doing what you're doing and build off of this momentum. keep that jab active and he can't get to you." chosen praised.

In the second round, Midas began to use head and foot feints more actively, he leaned his head slightly forwards to fool dark into thinking he was closer than he actually was and used foot feints to cut angles and cheat distance.

however, dark began to intercept Midas' jab with his right hand. But Midas was evening out the game of jabs, landing numerous snapping right jabs on dark.

So far, the judges had their work cut out for them. the more the fight went on, the harder it was to score.

towards the end of the round, dark landed a swift 1-2-3 combination. the jab baited out Midas' jab, the straight intercepted it and the left hook topped the sequence off.

dark HAD landed more power punches but as far as number go, Midas landed more punches in general. the second was even

"Remember what we practiced kid, keep those arms up but keep them loose until punches start flying at you. keep your lead hand active to act as a wall for his jab. Remember, he who controls the left, controls the right and he who controls the right, controls the fight."

"you're doing great dark, keep it up and keep on adding more punches. you'll get this guy outta here in no time."

in the 3rd, Midas kept a more defensive mindset. He did as Rooney asked. He used his lead hand to control the jab and, consequently, to control the distance.

he either stopped Darks jab before he even threw it, or he batted it off course. whenever dark tried to follow up with the right hand he would use his high-guard to essentially "shrug off" most of the force from the punch. he also found that he could slide his lead foot slightly to his right to slip dark's punch.

But with Midas' defensive mindset, he had a much harder time getting any offense going. Neither man landed much but dark threw the most punches of the two in that round.

"You're starting to shut his jab down, good. hes getting more and more hesitant to throw it. Now when he bites on those foot feints, throw the right hook."

"You're sweeping this fight so far, but don't overwork yourself. get that jab more active and sprinkle the right hand and left hook to keep him guessing."

In the 4th, Midas enacted his game plan. He marched forwards but not in a straight line. He kept his high guard active and dark began to throw his jab less and less.

Dark attempts to initiate an exchange, but Midas slides his rear foot to the left and loops a right hook over Darks jab, wobbling him.

He rushed in an attempt to get an early finish, and the two erupted into a momentary brawl that left the crowd explosively appreciative.

Midas once again stunned dark with the same sequence he used earlier; he threw the right hook and followed it up with a left hand down the middle.

Midas once again tried to get the knockout, but the buzzer sounded to end the 4th.

"Great work kid, great work! See what happens when you shut his jab down? he doesn't know what to do. But don't get careless, we're still down a couple rounds but i think this fight is mostly even. Slow him down a little and dig into his body" Rooney cautioned.

"Alright...Look at me...Okay...Alright, look that last round was a little rough but i think we're still up by a round or two. Keep an eye on his right hand, he's trying to use it to stuff your jab."

He came out more aggressively in the 5th, ramming his jab out in an attempt to either back dark up or bait out his own jab.

The two once again erupted into a brawl when Midas entered an exchange with a lead left hand. Dark pulled back and caught him with a 1-2 but Midas instantly slammed a right and left hook to his midsection punctuated by a right hand to the side of darks head while moving to his left and back to range.

once the buzzer sounded, still no one knew who was winning. One of them had to make a bold move to get ahead on the scorecards.

The two once again matched each others' jabs, but dark marched into a 1-2-1-2 combination, Midas utilized his head movement and high guard to their fullest, and none of the punches score. MT followed up with another lead left hand, and dark just pulled off the center line enough to get away from the punch.

Midas pivoted into a right hook to the body to cut off darks escape and dark attempts a lead uppercut but is intercepted by a left hook.

"Nice round kid, keep going to his body. This next round, i want you to ramp up the pace a bit, make him uncomfortable. That's all the advice i got for you."

"Watch out for his body attack, his body shots were giving you fits in the first fight, don't let him get it started again."

In the 6th, Midas started strong, landing thudding lefts to darks head and stinging rights to the body. but dark wasn't completely out of it.

He jabbed to Darks head and threw a sharp straight-left to his body. He noticed dark dropping his guard slightly.

he tries it again, intending to add a right hook but dark intercepts his jab with a left hook over the top and a right uppercut while Midas tries to dig to his body.

The two yet again slugged it out, and he fell back into his old habit of chasing dark in a straight line, allowing dark to move laterally and reset the distance.

It was yet another even round that saw no clear winners, and yet Midas couldn't help but notice dark huffing and puffing on his way back to his corner.

"That wasn't bad but, damnit kid you gotta stop doing that! if you keep chasing him straight-on like that he's just gonna walk you into that right hand. when he starts moving laterally, move with him. inch closer and closer like a Sherman tank."

"Good work, keep resting the distance like that. when you reset the distance you reset the pace keep moving and moving, pop that jab while you do."

if the last few rounds were even, the 7th is where the tide shifted.

Midas did as rooney asked; He blocked, slipped and caught darks jab intending to build counters off of it.

He also found it much easier to corner dark while he moved with him instead of chasing. He also found that dark threw panic punches when he felt he was being pressured into something.

Once cornered, Midas let his hands go. He threw a 1-2, intending for dark to throw back. Dark threw a 1-2 of his own, but he slipped the jab and caught him with a perfectly timed left hand, stunning him badly.

Midas began to put on a masterclass, smoothly slipping punches through darks guard and digging to his body whenever necessary.

he threw quick punches to the head to entice dark to raise his guard before slamming hard hooks to his sides.

The 7th round was the only round so far that had a clear winner.

"Keep it up kid, we're taking this fight back. But try this, when you corner him make him throw with you. He can't out-brawl you and he knows it which is why he's trying to stay on the outside.

"What did we talk about in training?! Never stand infront of someone with an inactive guard! You can't keep letting him corner you like that, when he tries to do so, fake one way and go the other."

The advice chosen have was good but dark was too spent to properly follow it.

The 8th round wasn't much better for dark, Midas began to switch his footwork up, finally finding enough of a groove to search for those hidden angles.

He continued with his earlier tactics and skillfully blocked, slipped and countered most attempts dark made to keep him at bay.

But he wasn't completely out of the fight. In fact, dark could hang surprisingly well at such a high pace.

But he didn't just throw random bombs, he was smart with his explosions, waiting for an opening to present itself once Midas began throwing. But this tactics was far from ideal, as he was still getting scored on.

Dark did use the momentum to spin him and exit the wall his back was up against to reset the distance but Midas continued setting up his body shots and used hook to cut dark off when he tried to move laterally.

"I like the pace you're setting, ramp it up more and more and this guy is toast!"

"Alright alright, that wasn't as bad as it could've been. I think it's time we switch it up, i want you to fight with your back to the wall. Whenever he digs to your body rip those hooks and uppercuts to his head."

In the 9th, Dark's new pace actually caught Midas off guard.

He fought off his back foot, trying to lead Midas into punches that mostly swung at air.

His combination punching were still issues for Dark, but he began throwing with him, timing him into hooks and uppercuts.

In the mid-point of the round, dark caught Midas with a left hook over his jab. He steps out and uses another left hook to try and set up a right hand, but Midas steps out and slips it, landing with a right hook on Dark's momentarily lowered guard.

The rest of the round was an even slugfest that saw both damaged but dark was once again the worse for wear by the end of the round.

Midas had a cut opened on his right cheek, but dark's cut was above his left eye.

"Target that cut, once he can't see that right hand coming the ref is sure to stop him on cuts!"

"Defend defend defend, do not let him tee-off on that cut otherwise you won't see that punch coming."

Midas came out in the 10th determined to gain the initiative, but Dark wasn't eager to let him.

Darks' constant jabs and movement gave off the impression of a fighter who didn't want to fight, and this angered him.

Sure as the sun rises that he had dark right where he wanted him, he tried to add insult to injury by attempting to beat dark at his own game.

He followed dark's slower pace and was even scoring on him, he could win this after all!

At least, that's what he thought. Little did he know, Dark was lining him up for a nasty overhand right over his jab that caught him flush.

For the first time in the fight, Midas was staggered.

"No! No No No! You practically gave him that last round on a silver platter, what the hell's wrong with you! You never try to beat someone at their own game unless you're confident you can!"

"That was a good punch you caught him with, line more of those up and you'll put him away in no time"

Midas tried to come out more aggressively in the 11th but dark instead threw combinations to make him raise his guard before circling away. He then countered him from long range.

Most of the round went this way with Midas getting visibly frustrated.

At the end of the round, Midas used his tricky footwork to bait the initiative before shifting into orthodox and slamming a hard overhand right and left hook combination into dark's head.

But he had the sense dark was planning something, he readied himself but the buzzer ended the round.

"What you did at the end of the round...More of that, i wanna see more of that. When you do that, he comes to you and he's not as good on the front foot against a fresh opponent.

"Keep doing what you're doing, if you keep him busy then he can't fire back once you start moving away. Even if they're not landing clean they still count for something."

Midas came out more slowly in the 14th, dark had first assumed it was fatigue and began to try and pressure him.

His intuition proved to be correct, Dark sprang to life and began landing combinations.

But he made the mistake of trying to stand and trade with Midas.

He rallied back, making dark back up several times.

The round was volatile, when it seemed one finally established control the other would quickly and violently wrench it from their grasp.

Towards the end, Midas landed a 1-2 and dark immediately tried to counter with the left hook. He used his momentum to slide his right foot to sn extreme outside angle. He then turn shifted into orthodox, using his new left lead foot to land a left hook through Darks guard.

The two had beaten each other bloody, and Midas was seeing double through his good eye, but the worst was yet to come.

The 15th was more high paced than the last, the two stood in the middle of the arena and didn't leave the spot for a majority of the round.

They traded blazing combinations that left their faces a crimson mask of viscera.

Both fighters would rather die than back up, the two had all but abandoned their gameplans and put everything into taking each other out right here and right now.

When the buzzer signaled the end of the 15th, but fighters didn't retreat to their corners.

They stood before the other, eyeing each other down defiantly through the blood, sweat and very few tears.

"alright boys, c'mon time to pack it up." The ref ushered the fighters to their respective corner.

The 16th was more of a high-paced chess match but dark seemed the worse for wear, but then again, there weren't many who could match the menace's stamina.

Midas landed hard combinations, flowing his straight and looping punches into a smooth cacophony of devastation. It was all dark could do to survive.

The round had ended, and both where damaged badly. The fight was dead even and would be judged by these last few rounds

"Okay kid, Amp rounds are coming up. you know what to do"

"Okay dark, Amp rounds are coming up. You know what to do"

The two met at the center again, the beaten fighters still attempted to stare each other down while the ref laid out instructions.

"These are the amp rounds gentlemen, which mean no holds are barred. touch up and lets get the fight going.

When the buzzer started, dark immediately took flight, Midas flew after him but dark landed swiftly and hurled 2 of the large boulders at him.

Midas blasted them to bits as he flew, and sent another one at dark, but he moved just in time. he landed near dark with a large explosion, sending him careening away.

Midas began following the instructions of a seemingly invisible coach that knew exactly what to do.

Dark quickly recovered from the explosion and decided to engage in hand-to-hand combat again.

Midas sees this and allows volcanic crystals to encase his arms.

Dark utilized leg and body kicks from range to slow him down and one of them hurt Midas' knee badly.

Catch The ravenous voice bellowed.

He caught dark's body kick and floored him with a nasty overhand that he was sure to break bones.

Dark may have outpointed him as far as strikes, but Midas' activity and the knockdown may have evened up the round.

In the 18th, dark tried to go back to his plan of using kicks at range, but Midas was in his flow totally and completely.

Move forwards. The same voice said once he caught darks body kick, this was good at forcing dark backwards and applying pressure.

Check! MT lifted his shin and checked a leg kick dark threw.

He was all too familiar with this voice; he didn't know what it was or where it came from, but it'd always been there.

It was ravenous, cantankerous and it wanted blood. It scared him

He continues to shut down darks kicks to the point where dark is desperately plodding forward in an attempt to reach.

"-Are definitely setting a strike record according to the judges" Midas vaguely heard one of the arena-side commentators say.

Then Midas did something he never did before.

Punish him the voice demanded.

He was unsure what to do.

Punish him, let it all go! It demanded louder.

Suddenly, he felt his confidence go through the roof and into cloud 9, he felt on top of the world, like he couldn't be touched.

He dropped his hands and turned to the commentator.

"Count 'em up!" He demanded as he smashed a jab into darks face.

He picked dark off at range; his long straight punches and looping hooks easily found their way through his guard and busted him up.

"I'm the best in the usfc!' He yelled as he landed another 1-2 and dodged Dark's return fire.

"I'm the best there's ever been!" 2 more hooks wobbled dark.

"I'm the best there ever will be!" another 1-2-3 combinations sent dark's blood splattering in the already crimson-tinted snow.

In the 19th it seemed the same would continue, Midas kept exerting his volume until dark haphazardly rushed him with and overhand right.

He took a step back, shifted into orthodox and pulled dark into a brutal knee that slammed into his side.

Dark doubled over and sent a blast at Midas to make space.

He gave chase but dark shot a double leg and attempted to wrestle him to the ground.

Midas planted himself and put a whizzer in on one of dark's shoulders, but dark got an ankle pick and went into a full mount.

Dark used his superior wrestling to maneuver Midas into worse and worse positions.

He reversed the position and found himself on the bottom half of the north-south position, but Dark took his back while Midas tried to posture up.

Dark sank the body triangle and attempted to sink the rear-naked choke, but where Midas' offensive wrestling lacked he more than made up for in defensive wrestling.

He peeled dark's arms off him and controlled the limb before digging his way out the opening he just made, prying himself out of the body triangle.

The two stood back up and the round ended.

While in his corner, Midas had an idea.

He left his corner just as the round was about to start and pointed at the ground, signaling he wanted to stand and trade this last round.

dark also pointed at the ground, nodding his head.

The buzzer started and the two aired it out for the last 3 minutes.

The round was non-stop explosive action as the two fought tooth and nail for a last second KO.

But Midas got the better of the exchange and wobbled dark. He threw punch after punch, and the ref, as well as chosen, were considering stopping it.

Just when it seemed dark was ready to go, the buzzer signaled the end of the fight.

The two smiled and embraced, battered, bloody and exhausted the two awaited the judge's verdict in the others embrace.

"Ladies and gentlesticks, the cards spell a unanimous decision. All three judges scored the bout 6 rounds to 8 with 7 rounds even...And NEW, USFC LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP OF THE WORLD: MIDAS

He cried out in joy as he dropped to his knees, exhausted thoroughly.

The fighters were promptly escorted to the hospital for a post-fight check-up. The fight left both with injuries warranting a sat of a few hours. Midas needed to have the burns on his arms treated and dark needed stitches to stop the bleeding on his face.

The two sat in their beds, in silence at first.

"Heh, that was fun...dontcha think?" Dark was the first to speak.

'Yeah...it was pretty fun."

"You got some juice on those body shots, gonna be feeling that for a while."

"Yeah? you kept that jab in my face so much that I'm still seeing it." Dark laughed, and Midas felt a strange connection building.

The two had, less than an hour ago, tried to essentially kill each other.

Not only that, but they'd done it twice now.

And here they were, bandaged like mummies with blood still seeping through, laughing and joking.

Enemy, He is an enemy! The voice boomed yet again.

He tried to shake it away, but it was persistent in the back of his mind.

Eventually, dark was escorted out to get an x-ray done.

He came back in with a sly smile on his face.

"You broke my ribs and my jaw, good job!" He chuckled.

Midas was then escorted out.

They hadn't told him what his x-ray yielded until the doctor came in saying he needed surgery.

"Your orbital is fractured and the muscles in you eye socket are trapped, we'll need to operate but lucky for you, it's on the commission's dime this time." He pulled a syringe out.

His eyes widened as the voice boomed over all else.

POISON, Don't let them!

The doc drew close to inject and Midas struggled, trying to keep him from injecting the poison.

"Shit! nurse, help me restrain him!" He thrashed and yelled, even activating his powers before feeling a pinch in his neck.

NO! The voice yelled as everything went dark.

Midas woke up on his desktop next to Rooney, who went giddy at the sight of him.

Rooney embraced him tightly.

"You did it kid, you did it! I'm so proud of you!" He felt that same, unfamiliar warmth spread across him. But this time, he welcomed it.

However, the joy was short lived as creator barged in.

"You let the fight go the distance and nearly lost...That is unacceptable...I've had this planned for a while but i think now is a good time to go through with it." He said with a sick smile

"You, With Me, Now!" He pointed to Midas and demanded.

He reluctantly obeyed, and creator took him to his personal window.

Midas was frozen in place as creator began re-writing his code.

His vision dimmed as searing pain soared through his body.

He screamed, it felt like he was being ripped apart and burned alive all at the same time.

He felt something on his left and whatever it was seared into his skin.

Rooney came running but froze in place.

It was over, Midas cradled his left hands with whimpers as steam leaped off of it.

Rooney looked closer and his features blanched.

It was a recall brand...Now he could never escape.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

oh man this one's been a long time coming. sorry for the lack of updates, life's just been super busy and ive been turbo-burnt out.

I did some experimenting and took the emphasis off the psychological side for a more tactical approach as this fight scene was supposed to be a tactical chess-match that slowly turned into a slugfest, which is why it seems so drawn out.

I will eventually go back to my original approach but i had to beat writers' blocks somehow, and why not do it while updating my story.

Writing Fight Scenes Part 7 - Basic Ground-fighting Terminology

So a lot of what you see in movies is (bedazzled, unrealistic) stand-up fighting/sparring that involves things like punches and kicks. But the reality is, most fights don't remain 'on their feet.' In this post, I'm going to talk about why most realistic fights go to the ground, the goals of ground-fighting, and some basic terminology

Before that, I should mention that I am going to be speaking from a grappling perspective. Grappling and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu are very similar martial arts, the main difference being the fact that bjj is usually performed while wearing a gi. I've always found this impractical, as many of the submissions (I'll explain this term in a minute) that rely on clothing are difficult to execute if a character's opponent is wearing civilian clothing

Importance of grappling

Above all else, a character who is good at fighting will know how to grapple because it is far easier to fall than it is to stand back up. A character loses their footing? Gets tackled/tripped? Catches a fist to the face? They're going to the ground. On the other hand, once a character is on the ground, their opponent might not be so kind as to allow them back to their feet. So, what do they do?

Goals of grappling

Returning to standing position

Like I just said, it's quite hard for a character to come back to their feet after they've hit the ground, but it can be done. A character would want to 1. Create space from their opponent, 2. Move quickly (to avoid giving their opponent the chance to stop them) and 3. Protect their head, especially if their opponent is still on their feet

Pummeling/TKO/Knockout

TKO, by the way, stands for 'technical knockout,' and describes an instance where an opponent is deemed unable to fight back even while conscious, usually due to an incessant beating. If two characters are grappling, one can maneuver into a favorable position (like sitting on the chest) and just beat the shit out of the other. This is great if you have a more brutish character because the most technical part is getting into a good position

Submission

These are a little trickier to describe, because there's a lot of them. The goal of a submission is to either force an opponent to submit (no shit, right?) or to forcibly stop a fight by knocking them unconscious/breaking something. The two main categories are chokes and breaks

Chokes:

Blood chokes - these aren't as scary as they sound. They target the veins/arteries on either side of the throat to stop the flow of blood to the brain. They take hold pretty quickly but typically don't hurt at all, unless you pass out I guess

Air chokes - these are illegal in the ufc, because you can easily do damage to the throat structures. As you might guess, your character is just squeezing the hell out of the actual column of an opponent's throat. Also, they take longer to set in. Only let your character perform an air choke if they're a massive cunt/out for blood

Breaks:

This is actually another umbrella term. In reality, there are actual breaks, and then dislocations, hyperextensions, cranks/bars, and some that fall into multiple categories

Breaks - you guessed it, your character breaks bone. The most common ones are wrist, arm, elbow and knee (these two also fall into the hyperextension category), leg and ankle breaks. I've broken too many of my own bones to enjoy writing OR reading these, so

Dislocations - again, pretty self-explanatory. Shoulder and knee dislocations take precedence. Gross

Hyperextensions - mostly elbows and knees. Disgusting

Cranks/bars - this is the one I think I need to explain the most. Cranks aim to fuck up muscles, tendons and ligaments by wrenching joints beyond their normal mobilities. I see the most shoulder and knee cranks. Whump writers, you'll love these because you can go slow, drag it out. That being said, if you make me read that, I will show up in your backyard

Basic Terminology

So I already got some terms out of the way, but grappling is a whole different world than stand-up fighting. Have y'all ever heard 'jiu jitsu is gay' jokes? They're right actually

Rolling - the actual act of grappling with someone, usually for practice. It is NOT out of the ordinary for a character who does martial arts to say to their buddy, 'hey, you wanna roll?'

Clinch - 'the clinch' is kind of an intermediary stage between stand-up fighting and grappling wherein a character and their opponent are still on their feet, but they're holding onto each other. It kinda looks like a dynamic hug tbh, but really, they're fighting for a more advantageous position, so that a given character can knock their opponent to the ground

Mount - one character is flat on their back while the other straddles their chest. Ideally, the character on top (dominant position) would either sit high on their opponent's chest/collarbones, or they would sit directly on the diaphragm and squeeze with their knees

Guard - one character is flat on their back with their legs crossed around the other character's torso, who has their knees slightly spread for balance. The character on the bottom has the advantage if they can trap and pull their opponent's face to their chest, and cross their ankles high on their opponent's back. Conversely, the character on top has the advantage if they can sit up as straight as possible

Half-guard - think scissoring, almost. One character on their back/side and one sitting/kneeling upright, each with one of the other's legs crossed between their own. Same rules for advantage as guard. I don't really like this position because I don't like having my legs tangled up, it's too easy for my opponent to try a knee bar

Side control - one character flat on their back (preferably with their knees bent upwards) and the other laying on them perpendicularly, face-down. The idea here is to be as heavy as possible, to stop the character on the bottom from moving. Female characters want to press using the weight of their hips, male characters want to press using the weight of their chest; to trap a female character, lay closer to the hips, and to trap a male character, lay on the chest.

Rear mount - actually not as terrible as it sounds! Both characters on their asses, one behind the other with their arms wrapped around the torso/the ankles hooked behind the knees. DO NOT let your character cross their ankles when they are the one behind, holding their opponent. It is an EXCELLENT way to end up with broken legs (don't worry abt why)

North-south - ...69. I hate this one too, it's way too easy to get my knee fucked with

I hope this was helpful, and if not helpful, at least amusing. I guess the idea of this post was to give you some key words to google, in case you want to do more in-depth research (i.e you want your character to perform a cool submission but have no idea where to start looking)

Unimportant but funny aside, my old instructors accidentally came up with a blood choke where you literally use your face to choke someone tf out. They call it The Hickey

If you haven't gotten any headcanons written for it yet, what are the best ways to fluster (romantic) Roxanne Wolf, Montgomery Gator, and the Daycare Attendant?

🐺Roxanne Wolf + "How to Fluster Them" HCs:🐺

⭐Genuine compliments. She mostly brushes them off with a little scoff and a "Yeah, duh." But deep-down, she's gonna be thinking about that One Thing you said for, like, weeks. And bringing it up in conversation every time she can.

⭐Touching her ears and/or tail. Both of them are Premium Petting Areas and make her totally melt. But it only lasts for a second before her pride kicks in and she snaps at you. (Is it worth it? Absolutely.)

⭐Calling her a "good/pretty girl." Just never do it in public, or she will give you such an ass-chewing. In private, though? It's the fastest way to subdue her attitude and turn her into a flustered, stuttering mess.

🐊Montgomery Gator + "How to Fluster Them" HCs:🐊

⭐Having someone flirt back with him. Man can dish it, but his ability to "take it" needs work. (That is, when he can actually tell that someone's flirting with him in the first place. We stan a man with one (1) braincell.)

⭐When you run your fingertips across any part of his body. Under his chin, up his arms, across his chest--just the feeling is enough to make his electric heart start racing a mile-a-minute. He's got it so bad.

⭐If you were to crawl into his lap and kiss him, he'd go totally docile. Just sink into the cushions of his couch and let you manhandle him to your little heart's content. Cause...just holdin' you makes him happy.

☀️Sunnydrop + "How to Fluster Them" HCs:☀️

⭐Being complimented about anything, ever. But especially over his own talents. His acrobatics, his passion for arts-and-crafts, his singing--any personal compliments go straight to his head (and heart).

⭐Gentle touches. A hand on his cheek. Your fingers linked with his. Brushing shoulders. Bumping hips. Any little moment where you reach out to touch him, no matter how briefly, makes his whole body feel like it's buzzing and burning and sparking--all in a very good way.

⭐Okay, sure, personal compliments are nice. But you call him handsome? Cute? Adorable? He's wrapped around your finger from that point on, and will follow you around like a lovestruck puppy.

🌙Moondrop + "How to Fluster Them" HCs:🌙

⭐Being called "beautiful" really hits him right in the processor. But, really, any soft words turn him into total mush. It makes his body feel all static-y and fuzzy inside. (Butterflies...maybe?)

⭐When you cradle his face in your hands. He feels like he can't meet your gaze, but you won't let him look away. And it makes him feel so, so weak. The stars in your eyes...he could get lost in them.

⭐Moon is a tiny bit self-conscious about his voice, especially his singing voice, so having someone compliment him over that? Instant TKO. His heart is melting. And the ensuing gooey mess belongs totally to you.

Silly rant

I hate it ehen I see a cute art then learn theyre a gross pedo like can't you keep that shut on ur private twitter like I dont want to see tkos bulge I wanna see silly lil guys and its weird that u have sexual/suggestive art of characters that look like children even tho their adults "its just the art style" well it looks weird and you literally draw adults (even if its just men and a women) also about that woman I'm pretty sure its like a trans angel dust like theyre hypersexualized and only like sex and ik ur allowed to use any pronouns and can pressent itself in anyway but she uses vagina/pussy pronouns like isnt that a bit strange like I call myself girly girl and a manly man but its a bit strange to have genitals as pronouns and they're a Proshipper like you're literally romanticizing pedophillia and I bet his ass is a shotacon liie no its isnt sexy for childlike figures in sexual positions its terrifying and gross and you swear ur not a pedo then make an animation with tko with cum in his mouth we should definitely check his files I wouldn't be surprised if he had 10 gigabits of cp

I just dont like Sexualized Children or childlike figures like if its for the lore its okay I have ocs that have been sexualized but I dont romanticized it and I inagine them going to therapy but when you actively try to defending the romanticized sa I have a problem

I also find it weird to proship as a coping mechanism like I have a coping mechanism which iw being sad and walking in circles or make ocs to project into but its like bad ones so I feel like proshippig would be a pretty bad coping mechanism like how is seeing a fictional child being raped but their dad gonna help you feel better like ur allowed to have ur kinks and shit but thats a bit strange.

I hate Proshippers who are proud of it cuz I dont wanna see that shit I just wanna see fanart of my fic child after a long day and not porn!

Also trans women are women

Best comics by publisher:

I am bored and autistic and gay and so I've compiled an objectively subjective list of the 'best' books from each publisher. You're welcome, America.

IDW-honestly the current Star Trek run is phenomenal and we all love TMNT but I gotta give it to Atomic Robo.

Scout-Metal Shark Bro is so good that it honestly skewed my expectations for the entire publisher. They truthfully have two solid lines and the rest is an odd marketing campaign. The Black Caravan stuff was fun, though.

Boom!-SIKTC is undeniably amazing and 'We Only Find Them When They're Dead' is objectively top tier but for me, it's all about Coda. The art, the writing, the straight dude getting dunked on by his orc paladin wife-perfection. The first issue of the continuation just dropped and reading it was like returning home.

Ahoy!-Penultiman is pretty good but I think 'The Wrong Earth' is clearly their best title.

Valiant-hear me out, hear me out. I've collected ALL of Valiant's reboot, 2012-present. Unfortunately I must report that peak Valiant is X-O Manowar: Retribution. 1993 was a good year for whacky sci-fi comics. There is a scene wherein Aric of Darcia proclaims:"he must be like those men who prefer other men. I do not understand these men; but damn, do they make the best wizards!" That's peak fiction.

Dark Horse-look Hellboy is great. It's so good that I almost gave it to Mike Mignolia just on merit and industry influence alone. Unfortunately, Jeff Lemire exists. Black Hammer is perfect in every way. MIND MGMT was a strong second.

Image-Astro City. The characters are deep, emotional beings. Their stories breathe in the most human way. Most other titles conflate grit with maturity while AC makes you feel without several arcs of trauma porn. Also, im happy to see creators who remember that comic books are the home of wackiness. Its a slice of life hero series-10/10. Also Alex Ross. This (image) was annoying to choose because-despite suffering the unforgivable scourge of Robert Kirkman- Image has so many other good titles. Bitch Planet, Savage Dragon and Spawn (obligatory, obvi), Rumble, Chew, Outer Darkness, Descender/Ascender, etc .. not to mention Radiant Black. I still want to give it to Saga. Due to all the confusion with inage/wildstorm/dc having some claim to Astro City I almost skipped it entirely which is a shame but, yeah-Astro City.

TKO Studios-honestly, I'm not sure that this company is still kickin'. They were a fun little experiment though, with several enjoyable titles. I can't say any of them really blew me away. But, if I had to pick a 'best' I'd give it to 'Sentient'. Jeff Lemire can do no wrong.

AWA-they're too new for a selection to have any real meaning but 'The Resistance' is pretty good. It's been a couple years and I hope they produce something else that's quality because E-Ratic was a pretty big let down.

D.C.-Crisis on Infinite Earths. It's a given. There is something to be said about the cultural impact of Crisis. Originally, 'crisis' stories were crossovers of varying stakes. The comic gods(Perez and Wolfman) changed the game with this one. Also,every Crisis story which follows was similarly silly and serious. The pseudo science wackiness and over the top theatrics gets me every time. No other comic company gets it right. D.C. has been getting progressively better and better these last couple years, especially now with the phenomenal 'Dawn of D.C.' stuff. But if I was stranded on an island and could only bring one D.C. title it would be Crisis. ('83 New Teen Titans is of course a strong second)

Oni Press- their Rick and Morty stuff was a guilty pleasure (because it's really quite good but that means I have to spend money on Rick and Morty) and 'The Sixth Gun' was well made. Regardless, their best title was clearly 'Pink Lemonade'. Its chaotic indie fun that doesn't make sense and doesn't have too.

Massive/Whatnot Inc: these guys are really new, started 2022 I think. Not really sold on them yet but one of their first titles, quested, was lots of fun. Pretty small selection so far but what they do have is quality. 'Best book' goes to Plot Holes. Not only did Sean Murphy give us the most tolerable Bruce Wayne, he also gave us this creative joyride. It's equal parts wacky and sincere and best of all, it's in the Murphy style. Even though its early on in the run it's one of those titles you look forward to. throughout the month.

Marvel-Marvel peaked in 1999 with Earth X. Don't get me wrong, I love a great deal of Marvel books. Al Ewing's Ultimates (NOT Bendis) was great. Personally, my favorite Avengers story was the Celestial Madonna saga of the sixties, but Waid's run was great(obvi) and Hickman's was too. Hickman's Xmen stuff...also happened. Cates and Jason aaron had good Thor runs. The first and last of Aaron's avenger arcs were great. Peter David's many 'Spider' runs were fun and Dan Slott sure does exist. The Sam Wilson cap runs were all phenomenal, especially the Symbol of Truth run-and Kelly Thompson's run on Carol was one of the best ever. Good Marvel books have been dwindling lately but Jed McKay's 'Avengers' is honestly one of the best books out there. Unfortunately, none of that good stuff comes close to Earth X. The prose, the thorough examination of human nature, the Alex Ross of it all. Earth X was an ode to Marvel lore which read better than most of Marvel history. 'Nuff said.

Mr. Sandman: "When I catch a glimpse of him lookin' at me, he gets all red and acts all flustered around me. I wonder why?"

-------

Punch-Out!! (SNES)

Birdie Mac: “He's always encourages me and Mac to become stronger, even though he's soft on us.”

Gabby Jay: “His kindness towards others never fail to make me smile.”

Piston Hurricane: “We may not talk much, but he's a nice guy.”

Bob Charlie: “He's always kind to everyone around him, yet, he isn't kind to himself. It takes time to do that, ya know?”

Dragon Chan: “He's learning from the best, that me of course! Oh, and Doc Louis too.”

Masked Muscle: “They're alright, we don't talk much though.”

Heike Kagero: "They're genuinely a lovely person to be around, 10/10 friend would recommend!”

Narcis Prince: “They have a good heart... and we're good pals.”

Trivia about Lamb!

Lamb’s hobbies are crocheting, drawing, swimming, and cooking.

Lamb's favorite food is 'Chicken Noodle Soup', as he got sick easily as a kid or his mom would cook it from time to time.

The reason why Lamb is named the way he is it's because he's based off a sheep, due to his timid nature, but a sheep can also be angered.

Lamb also works as a sex worker. He prefers to keep quiet about it, in fear of getting harassment or getting embarrassed by others.

They got 'Sweetie' after it's old owner couldn't take care of it anymore, so Lamb took 'Sweetie' in and cared for it 24/7. (If you're wondering what a "Baba" is you can read it here!)

Lamb loves all things cutesy or pink, their entire apartment is plastered in anything that's cute, pink, or both. (Pink is also their favorite color.)

Whenever he’s alone or he can’t sleep, he sings in melancholic tone to vent out his feelings.

He’s very sensitive and tends to cry a lot, he also has emotional destructive outbursts.
