[b]Damien grumbled something as the kick connected, right as he launched the canister and ball forward. He rocketed upwards as his helmet cracked... But he knew why happened next. Using fringe technology, he had packed a eighth ton of sodium into the white canister, and thirteen gallons of water into the ball.[/b]
[b]The exothermic reaction took seconds, the water and sodium mixing caustically as the air soundly broke into a massive explosion, JT, unfortunately caught in the middle as Damien landed not to far off from the kick.[/b]

The explosion did have an effect on his body mind you, but when the canister was thrown JT activated a special augmentation, one he had kept hidden for quite some time. His muscles moved and shifted around inside his body until they quickly hardened to the point where even bullets were unable to affect his body, though the unaugmented limbs were protected by greater covering by the HardLight. The explosion served to knick him back in the other direction with great speed as if he was some sort of human tetherball, which was hurdling right towards Damien, though he couldn't move his limbs very quickly as they were all stuck in their dense positions.

[b]Damien was planning this through in his head. He had milliseconds to react, but inside his mind, time seemingly slowed.[/b] [b]With a quick burst, he used his legs to throw himself back up, then he launched a palm out to JT, the wind seemingly contorting in front of it as JT suddenly felt himself of death, and a vibrating sensation rock his body, like someone was juggling his internal organs. No real damage... But something was off... Damien had just changed the outbound atmosphere and caused a left lapse in the brain.[/b]
-
[i]The sonic wave rumbled around as the tightly packed muscles were forced to vibrate and loosen up, eventually forcing JT's augment to be rendered null but also giving him back the full usage of his body. And so he extended his legs as he came in towards Damien all the while feeling a bit -blam!-ed up, n an attempt to give one of the biggest missile dropkicks the Dojo had ever seen. [/i]
-
[b]Damien grinned, the air contorting around his fist once more as he brought to meet the kick. He needed one hit... Just one... Soon the Mach 6 fist warped the air around it, the muting sensation filling the air as he readied himself, prepared to send the impact straight into JT's leg.[/b]
-
[i]JT's plan wasn't to collide, but instead to make it look as if he did. So as he was nearing the figure that was Damien, he stopped just a foot away from the man's fist and retracted himself with the hook, hoping that his opponent would punch and the impact would lightly graze his metal foot before pulling back. [/i]
-
[b]Damien's super sonic fist rocketed up, causing the air above him to fringe and break.[/b] [i]"Dammit..."[/i] [b]He breathed, his other fist launching out as his barrels unfolded once more, this time, a miniature missile launching out. It barreled towards JT as Damien rushed forward, his fist competing once more as another charge was formed.[/b]
-
[i]The pull back combined with JT's acting ability would have to suffice, for when he pulled himself back to the center spot, the cowboy let go of his grappling aug as the hand retracted and he fell early, letting the missile pass him. He slowly stood up in a disoriented state as he groaned and moaned in pain to signify injury as he did so. [/i]
-
[b]Damien didn't waste the opportunity to bring his fist forward, slamming it into JT's chest, the super sonic wave rattling his body as it collided, leaving a dent. But something told JT that Damien had held back. He wasn't out to kill... That was never his goal.[/b]
-
[i]JT was trying a tactical fighting style he hadn't been able to really unleash in combat, so he started it now. He stumbled to the side just as Damien came close to him, and spun around in an almost drunken manner as the fist hit the wall that stopped JT. [/i]
-
[b]The following explosion broke the wall and tore the ground like paper. Damien chuckled as his thrusters engaged... Speed. He wasn't out of his armor so he was slower, but he was now approaching Mach 7. One release later, and Damien's other fist launched out... This one going much faster.[/b]
-
[i]The mach-7 fist was quite overpowered and overkill in comparison to the flesh it nailed on JT, who was just barely managing to back up as the fist came flying towards him. But that didn't matter as the fist barely managed to hit JT, which gave him a boost that sent him crashing through several walls and rooms of the Dojo. He nearly died. [/i]
-
[b]Damien sighed and rolled his eyes, jogging over as he pulled pieces of carbon fibers out of his split knuckles.[/b] [b]As he reached JT, he pulled a large needle from his utility belt, twisting the back until the syringe poked out. A strange bright blue liquid bubbled inside. With a flick, he sent the needle into JT's chest, his cell structure speeding up twenty fold until the dent in his chest fixed itself in a few seconds.[/b]
-
[i]When Damien met the point of impact where JT had been, there was nothing. No man or woman, no animal nor object that was out of place, just a man standing there. The man was JT, who was hiding one of his biggest assets in combat, that being his armour. He slid the helm od his gear onto his head as he just barely managed to quickly put the outfitting on, which was enough to actually survive a fight with Damien, and maybe even do some actual damage. He stood at ten feet tall in the suit, with an extra 4 inches to his width as one inch of ceramic was on two of steel, and one of ceramic was inside again, all powered by an exo suit that shit steam out of each joint in the armour. Aside from just that, his kit was drastically different. He held a G11 Chainsaw LMG in his right hand, or rather, the gun was quite literally on his hand as he gripped a handle inside of the back of the custom grip of the weapon, which in turn was fitted to fire an onslaught of 50. Beowulf ammo from the triple box mag, totaling 600 shots before a lengthy reload. His back held a pair of SCAR-L's, a plasma-edged greatsword made of tungsten, and his hip had a lasso with literally no extra properties. The armour looked to have some bells and whistles beneath the red paint and white sleeves too, which were a jump pack, and some extra things in the helmet. [/i]

[i]"Woah there... That's a mechanical monster if I ever saw one."[/i] [b]Damien looked up at the changed Marshal, his helmet folding back. His normal long spiky hair and yellow eyes always his most striking features.[/b] [i]"So... You can take rail guns I presume? Guess I'll have to step up my game next time."[/i] [b]Damien looked down at his bleeding fists, shrapnel and brick lodged into the mechanical one, rubble in the one still made of flesh.[/b]
-
[i]"Railgun? No. 50. Caliber? Yeah." JT always was a cocky man, to the point that he thought his gear could tank a fifty cal shot, even though it was never capable of that. His helm was a lookalike of a completely blackened face with a beard painted onto it, and a cowboy's hat with a razor edge to it. He had no duster though, which was strange. [/i]
-
[b]Damien's helmet refolded, his sensors stuttering slightly after being cracked.[/b] [i]"I'd put it to the test... But I think I'll spare some more buildings if I don't."[/i] [b]He chuckled and gave a mock salute, some blood splattering on the ground.[/b]
-
[i]"Damn dude, you need anyone to look at them there wounds?" JT didn't have any form of medical degree, in fact he even failed a CPR course n high school back in Cylak, but he was a surgeon and quitter qualified to tend to wounds if needed. [/i]
-
[b]Damien shook his head and drew a STIM, a large double tubed item that was full of bright blue liquid... Which he promptly injected himself with. His wounds slowly closed and sealed the scraps pushed out of his knuckles. It looked painful, but it was saving his fists.[/b] [i]"Always carry a medical tool for after a fight. Can't have myself dying every few hours."[/i]
-
[i]"That's what the armour's for," The Marshal said as he flicked the pinky of his right arm, and inside his suit, a vial of adrenaline and morphine were each shot into his torso to keep him running and to also kill the pain that lingered. His legs and arms were fine though, seeing as they were made of metals. "Well shit, gotta have a long talk with my gunsmith soon." [/i]
-
[i]"Oooorrr... I can hook you up. Owe you one now anyways. Plus, I'm cheaper."[/i] [b]He grins, assuming any gunsmith around would cost... A little more than needed. Besides, very few beat Damien's quality.[/b] [i]"What do you say...?"[/i]
-
[i]"Whatever you can do," JT said as a smile crossed his face beneath the helm. "Would be good. I've got plans for my revolvers though, so anything that isn't a sidearm is good." [/i]
-
[i]"For a cowboy... I got everything. Nine inch release clamps for a quad barrel shotgun. Digitizations launcher. Plasma steed programs... Blade hats... Rail coils. The works!"[/i] [b]Damien rambles under his helmet for a moment before catching himself.[/b] [i]"I'll need some time of course... And permission to mod if you want certain gear fixed up."[/i]
-
"If you got any way to weaponize my hat then that would be grand, maybe upgrade my rifle." JT had requests from the man that seemed strange in truth, though he was just going for an aspect of his cowboy's gear with him. JT had plans, plans he tended to rarely divulge.
-
[i]"I can do both. Just need schematics and time."[/i] [b]Damien dusted off his pants and gave a thumbs up, armor flexing slightly as the joints released pent up pressure.[/b]
-
JT's armour googled schematics, because it's 2016 on Tatakai and if we have Starbucks, we have Google. "And got 'em, should I send them to ya?"
