CAV: Rematch

Guest

Who: Jak and Dar
What: Jak hunts the villain Dar, seeking vengence for the recently killed heroes.

__________

It was early in the morning. Somewhere in Steel City, Seth would place a call. This call could not be traced, and his voice would be disguised as he spoke. Thanks to Agent Earth, Seth was able to call Jak Sage directly on his Titans Communicator.

Seth waited until Jak picked up, and would then speak. He was right to the point, because that was all he needed to say. "The one who killed Ben 10 will be at Steel Gardens in Steel City tonight at 11 PM. He will be at the south corner, next to the streetlamp."

As soon as Seth had finished stating his message, he hung up. There. His anonymous tip was complete. Hopefully, all of his loose ends would be tied up tonight.

_________________________

At 11 PM in Steel Gardens, Dar Thle Golas stood exactly where Seth had said he would be. Seth had actually told him to stand there. "You will be approached by a man who thinks he can kill you," Seth had said. "Kill him." That was all the instruction Dar had recieved. He didn't mind. He had killed people on less information before.

Standing under the street-lamp, Dar stood in his black trench-coat and a hat that shadowed his face. Underneath this disguise, he wore his full suit of Apokaliptian flight armor. He would be ready for whoever came his way, he thought. His eyes searched the park for any sign of the man he had been sent to kill. There was no one. The park was silent and still.

OOC: Should this be before or after the Tower is taken over by Smith?

Guest

OT: Before; just makes more sense, since at the moment Jak would care more about who set up Lance than who killed Ben. Having it before just gives it more focus for him. Also, since were in Steel if things get bad for JaK, I might bring in Spidey for dbbl team and really rough up Dar. That okay?

Guest

OOC: Fine by me. Bring your spiders.

As Dar looked off into the distance from behind him a motor could be heard running. The low rumbling of the machine's engine getting louder and louder as it fast approached until finally it was upon him. During closer inspection it could be seen the vehicle was a hover bike, nice model to, custom paint job and gadgetry built in. As it stopped about 3 or so yards away from the man in the trenchcoat a boy would step off of it. Instantly he would be recognizeable as JaK Sage. He was wearing normal attire, in fact the excact same clothes that he had fought Darth in the first time they fought. After stepping off his speedbike the high beams would automatically come on and shine a blaring light at the man in the hood. Sage approaching the figure without fear or actually any notion of who it was. Of course he could've probably surveyed the situation first, attemtped to maybe try and figure out who exactly he was dealing with, but that wasn't really his style. Heck for all he knew this could've been a trap! All he was going off of was a creepy guy's transmission tipping him off to the whereabouts of apparently Ben's killer. That's all JaK needed; if this guy had anything to do with killing Titans then he had just gotten top priority on his %$!@ list.

"So I heard you're in league with hero killers. Usually I'd be coming to arrest you, but you've caughten me in a rather bad mood as of late so instead I think I'll give you a little bit more of the same. Take off your gear and show your face, I wanna know who I'm about to hit."

Now if this guy was innocent and had nothing to do with the killing, obviosuly the Teen Titan's threats would confuse him and warnt a reply of denial. However, if he was the one who killed Ben then Sage was proceeding with quite a bit of vigilance. He had to be on his toes and ready for anything. Ben 10, he bragged a lot about being the main hero of his home world. Rightly so, he was a tough kid even when he was just a kid. If this guy took him out JaK knew he had a REAL fight on his hands.

Guest

Dar thought about holding an arm up to block the light from the hover-bike, but that would make him look weak. Instead, Dar simply tilted his chin down, allowing his hat to block the light for him and providing him with a mysterious appearance.

It took a few seconds, but Dar recognized this punk as the kid he had beaten to within a hair of death almost a year ago: Jak Sage, a Teen Titan. Now he was here asking Dar if he was the killer of Ben 10, another Titan. Seth had not been happy that Dar had killed the boy. He had said it was not the plan, but Dar didn't care about plans, he cared about blood. It didn't take a genius (thank goodness) to realize that Seth had set Dar up for this encounter.

Dar smiled. It didn't matter. This punk would be a quick kill. Jak didn't seem to know who Dar was, only that he had killed Ben. Dar decided to have some fun at this kid's expense.

Dar laughed. The mirth behind it was true. Dar found it hilarious that he would fight this particular Titan twice. "My face? You want to see my face? Very well." Dar removed his hat and even removed his green armor mask underneath so that Jak could see his true face: the one he had seen before.

"It is good to meet you again, Jak Sage. I'm glad to see that you've recovered from our last encounter. I certainly hope you've gotten stronger since last year, because otherwise letting you live was a waste of time. Yes, it is true that I'm in the hero-killing club. It's what I do on my weekends. I recently killed a certain Ben 10, for example."

Dar laughed again. "Oh, but I've been terribly rude. Allow me to introduce myself. I am Dar Thle Golas, a Parademon from Apokalips. So, you want to hit me, do you?" Dar cracked his knuckles, revealing the claws attatched to his gloves. "By all means. Hit me. Show me the meaning of justice." Dar's laugh became uncontrollable and loud.

Guest

JaK Sage's expression would go through three full different emotions upon seeing Dar's face. First was the obvious state of shock, his eyes widening in more of a anime fashion and then immediately narrowing while his frown spelt nothing, but anger through his gritted teeth as the apokoliptain spoke about Ben 10. Then finally as Darth finsihed his last statement JaK's eyes would continue to remain narrow, but his fury filled lips would contort into a sort of half assed smiled as he chuckled a bit.

"Aww man, this is great. I came to find Ben's killer and it turns out he's the same guy who I've been itching to get another shot at since our last fight. So basically I'm killing one bird with two stones! Vengeance for my fellow teammate and just straight revenge for me...What more could I ask for?"

As JaK spoke he would close his eyes and form a fist that tightened as he rose it into the air.

"You've got a lot to answer for big man, but don't worry I'm not the one judging you. I'm just the driver who's gonna deliver you there!"

That being said, JaK Sage would stop speaking verbally and then just let out an ear piercing battle cry as the fight commeneced. He was never big on words and long monolouge speeches, esspecially not with a hit man of this caliber. Why talk to him? The result was going to be the same either way and seeing as one of them would most likely no longer be living after this fight they were just wasted words anyway. As JaK approached the tall warrior at his own top speed he wouldn't armor up, no, he wasn't afraid to face this man with just his own skills. Not to mention nothing in this area could stop his blows anyway, Sage knew that from personal expericence. Before reaching Darth Thle Golas JaK would jump up at least ten feet into the air and twirled as he came down at his foe with a spinning back kick that if blocked he would just use the base of whatever Darth blocked with to continue spinnning so he could land another kick with his other leg. This opponent couldn't just be manhandled by a few shots. JaK knew he needed to be much more methodical about his approach with someone this dangerous. He had already ended one Titan, he wasn't going to take another.

Guest

As Jak jumped into the air and kicked, Dar would hold up one arm to block the attack. Jak's twisting second attack caught Dar by suprise, but hit his shoulder. The armor beneath his coat absorbed a lot of the impact, and Dar's massive, tough skin took the rest.

Dar didn't even move to react from the attack. He felt a slight sting where the kick had landed, but he was sure that Jak's foot was broken and in a lot of pain.

As Jak fell back down to the ground, his kick being complete, Dar took a quick step forward and gave an open-handed palm punch. The tips of his claws were aiming at Jak's chest, and Dar hoped that the impact of his palm would crack the Titan's spine. He was certain that the attack would hit because his opponent was in freefall.

Guest

"AAAUGH!!"

Is what JaK would yell out as his second kick connected...Armor? And strong at that, kicking it had bruised JaK's leg. A normal human wouldn't be able to touch that area of his body again because it would be too tender, but Sage would heal within 10 to 15 or so minutes as long as the injury was given time to heal and not aggravated further. As he fell to the ground Dar launched forward with a palm thrust straight at JaK's chest...Perfect, now Sage could show him just how much he had actually improved. As the pointed deadly hand came forward JaK would grab the sides with his own palms. Now he was no where strong enough to stop Dar Thle Golas, but he was able to armor up currently faster than a human could blink. Yet another trick he picked up during the tournament of heroes when his life was on the line. The apokoliptan's blow would land on point, but isntead of piercing JaK's flesh and crushing his frail human body he was instead just launched back towards his bike...A moment later he got back up to his feet, the boy's figure was now composed of the same materials as Darth's gear. The strike had done damage still though thanks to the man's strength, but it was considerably lessened.

"How nice of you to bring me something that was meant to hold up against beings just like you. Now...we have a fight!"

With that statement, to anyone who was a bit smarter than Darth would've realized that's why JaK didn't armor up in the beginning. He wanted to get in close and absorb whatever weaponry the hitman had at his disposal, because if JaK remebered correctly when Darkseid invaded last time his soldiers were packing some serious heat. That beaing said Sage took out his Titan's comm. as he stood up and pressed two modified buttons on it. By doing this he set his vehicle to attack mode and automatically it targeted Dar. Firing upon the space man with multiple rounds of proton canon fire. The lasers zooming out from both barrels on each side of his hover cycle towards the enemy while JaK Sage just stood on the side and watched.

"When outmatched...Cheat." (Batman Quote)

Guest

Dar's eyes opened in suprise as Jak abosorbed the properties of his own armor. Oh yeah, Dar seemed to remember him being able to do something like that. Realizing that Dar had provided this punk with the only means of fighting him on equal grounds, Dar bit his own lip. This was unfortunate, but could not have been prevented. Seth had never told him who he was fighting.

Suddenly, the hover bike started shooting lasers at Dar. One of them hit, and the impact even hurt him through the armor. That bike had to go. Dar ran towards the bike, and recieved three more hits (two to the stomach and one to the thigh) before smashing it with a single punch. The bike would fall to the ground, broken and smoking. It looked like it could be repaired, but it wasn't going anywhere soon.

The bruises and burns that the lasers had given him were hurting, but Dar accepted pain as a fact of life. Standing straight up, Dar looked back at his opponent. "Weakling. Do you always rely on tricks and devices to win your battles? The weapons do not make the warrior."

Guest

JaK's anger would spike again as Dar Thle Golas destroyed his only mode of transportation. Oddly enough this 'sob' was the first one to ever wreck the teen's ride.

"Only when I think they'll work. Sadly, most of my opponents are pretty quick witted like mad scientist's and stuff. You luckily, I don't seem to have that problem with."

Almost as if Sage knew Dar was unintelligent or at least not as much so compared to certain other individual, he quipped his opponents mental capacity. Of course this was all just coincidence, because he didn't know his enemy personally and had no clue of his low IQ. After the insult was made, however, JaK would again charge at Darth looking like he was going for a straight superman punch, but instead dropped down to his knees and slid in between the colossal man's legs. Immediately afterwards he would spin around on his back and attempted to mule kick the goliath in each backleg's knee cavity to drop him down a level.

Guest

Dar laughed as the punk insulted his intelligence. Dar knew he wasn't very smart. He didn't need to be. Good soldiers were just smart enough to do their jobs, and Dar knew how to break stuff.

The teen ran towards Dar, who gave a punch of his own. The attack missed as Jak slid between Dar's legs. Dar started to turn, but his legs got kicked out from under him. Falling on his knees, Dar got annoyed again by the punk's trickery.

Activating his armor's flight ability, Dar shot into the air like a rocket. Reaching a height of 40 feet, Dar looked down on his opponent. "Pathetic human. You suffer because you do not know your place. I am a mere bug, but you are lower still. I shall teach you your place, and then kill you."

Dar dove down at the ground, feet first, at 60 miles per hour. He aimed for Jak's torso. The enemy would surely die if he got hit by this attack, and suffer the shockwave if he evaded. The pavement itself would crack and crumble from the terrible force.

Guest

As Dar's knees buckled and he dropped down, Sage would quickly kip up to his feet and went to land a punch straight to his opponent's temple, when suddenly he would rocket up into the sky causing JaK to stumble a bit and then as fast as he had gone up Darth would zoom back down while taunting JaK Sage from above. Judging at the apokoliptain soldier's mass, durability, and current rate of decent if he hit JaK...Well let's just say it wouldn't be pretty especially for Sage. So instantly JaK would leap backwards, nothing fancy mind you, just a quick pivoting backwards lunge to get out of dodge.

"OoOuuUGGHH!"

However, Sage failed to account for the shockwave that accompanined the man as he hit the ground and sent the boy flying through the air uncontorlably while he was in mid-jump. Finally stopping as his lower back collided with the same light that Dar Thle Golas had been standing under when the Titan first arrived with a loud THUD upon impact. The fixture in itself denting and falling over as JaK made contact with it until finally smashing it's bulb out after tumbling to the ground. The boy laying under it as he tried to re-coop from the hit he just took.

Guest

As the dust settled from Dar's smashing dive, Dar stood in the center of a wide crater in the ground. He felt a little shaken from the impact, but his body had absorbed it well. In a few seconds, he felt fine.

Seeing Jak laying under the broken light, Dar flew back up into the air. Getting directly above Jak, Dar smirked. "I can cover this park with holes if it will kill you." With that, Dar sent himself into another feet-first dive. He was wondering how many of these dives Jak could dodge before he eventually got hit. It would be fun to watch him grow weaker, Dar thought.

Guest

As Darth spoke to Sage he would re-gain his senses. Realizing the big oath was about to attempt another one of the same attacks JaK decided to use the enhanced strength he received from this armor to lift up the metal pole on his shoulder like a javelin and lunged it at Dar while he came down. As it soared towards his enemy, again JaK would jump for cover. This time he did more of a head first dive to get away so that when the shock wave hit and sent him flying he could rebound by rolling to his feet. Hopefully, there was no shock wave, however, and instead the limp impaled corpse of that behemoth just fell out of the sky instead.

"If only it were that easy.."

Guest

Dar descended, ready to crush Jak, when a pole was shoved in his face. The attack knocked him off course, and he landed on his side. The impact of his shockwave was considerably weaker than when he landed on his feet. Dar's face, neck, and ribs hurt from the "accident."

Standing up, he saw Jak alive and well. Why hadn't Jak been this strong before? Did his armor give him enhanced strength? If so, how strong was he?

Dar ran towards his opponent and held his hands clasped above his head, he would face a downward crush, then give a double-handed punch from the right.
