"I suppose it's settled then." Akio said, extending his hand. He had a lot of things that he had to do, and soon, if he was going to get the ball rolling on this. "From now on you'll be protected by our group. That ring will make you untouchable, the government fears it. It also makes you one of my friends. Protect that ring with your life. There are no replacements." Akio toyed with the cigarette with his tongue a bit before continuing.
"One more thing," He took the cigarette and tossed it on the ground, exhaling a bit of smoke, "in order to make sure you're qualified, I have to see your power. If you wouldn't mind sparring with me a bit, I promise not to go to rough." Akio put on his own ring, a special golden ring with bits of charcoal encrusted into it.

Archer grinned and decided to wear the ring finally. He slipped it on his middle finger then held it up. "I think it fits quite well."
The pyro's eyebrows raised at the man before him as he stood up and dusted himself off. He didn't want the dirty government asshole sticking to him for the rest of the night. "I'd never turn down a good chance to fight. Don't get many of these lately. Too many scared people out there." he chuckled and shook his head as he positioned himself in front of Akio loosely. He tucked his lighter back into his pocket, figured he'd play fair. With a roll of the neck Archer started to circle the blond slowly processing for weak points and the likes.

"Sorry, I don't have much time for stances and shifts." Akio jumped in the air, landing on top of one of the cemetary stones. He jumped from one stone to another, and finally back flipped to the original, landing on his hands. He lowered himself, and pushed himself upward, landing right behind Archer so that they were back to back. He smiled. "It's funny really, if this were a real fight one of use would be dead already." Akio jumped forward while rotating himself to face Archer.
He landed in a crouched stance, his hand over him, ready to push himself forward. As he did, he moved his fist back, and threw it forward. Right before it would hit Archer, though, he paused and did a low roundhouse kick. He wanted to test the agility of this new recruit.

Archer watched Akio with a determined grin in place. He watched every little move and made sure to keep an eye on all extremities. Archer noticed as the man's fist flew forward, his leg started to move as well. Crouching slightly he lifted one hand and interceded the fist and his other dashed out and knocked the leg back. Archer took the chance and used his own leg to knock out the back of the man's standing knee. His hands stayed poised in the air from the swift block. "Not bad." he muttered.

At the first sign of retaliation, Akio tried his best to change his stance. Although he wasn't successful, it did help reduce quite a bit of damage from the punch to his leg. He stood straight, smiling. "Quite the fighter. A bit defensive, really loose in your movements." He decided a quick change of pace was in order. Akio took off his jacket so he could move a bit better. He waited to see what Archer would do, as a direct attack obviously was out of the question.

Archer grinned and noticed that Akio was trying to change his fighting style. Quickly he shuffled his feet and threw out a swift kick aiming for the man's other knee. As he did that he ducked and threw out a quick succession of punches to the man's gut. If he couldn't land these he had a backup plan.

Akio allowed the kick to the knee, and he even allowed gravity to bring him down. However, as the man went to punch him, Akio had a very interesting surprise. He took off his shoe and kicked it to the air, then he attempted to hold the man's fist right at his gut. The shoe would land with quite a bit of force on the man's back, and when he looked to see what it was, Akio would be able to make a move.

Archer wasn't exactly expecting the kick to land or that Akio would hold onto his fist, but this wasn't his first fight. "Bad move buddy." Instead of waiting for whatever he was holding him for, Archer pressed his weight into the man's stomach and leaned forward with enough force he was able to flip over his head, effectively ripping his fist from the steely grip and forcing the man to his back. Once he was over Akio he turned and latched his arm around Akio's neck, getting in the sleeper hold.

Now in the sleeper hold, Akio was allowed to show his strengths. He wasn't a direct fighter, he was an improv fighter. He put his hands on the man's back and jumped forward, doing a flip in the air. He was heading towards the earth, hard, with Archer being the first point of impact.

Archer cussed under his breath as he quickly rolled to the side to miss being hit from midair. As soon as he was sure to be outside of the fall zone he pounced and tackled the blonde, sending the two sliding towards a gravestone. With a knee to the man's chest he clapped both hands against his head hard, cutting off his hearing.

Akio just smiled. It was a good move, sure, but he wasn't one to be fulled easily. He had a ring on his hand, and it was going to make his next move all that more painful. With his ringed hand, he proceeded to punch the man's ear. There was nowhere he could go. His hands were on Akio's ear, his knee was on his chest, and they were already in motion. He locked himself in.

Archer grimaced at the pain of the ring sliding against his ear. He was barely able to lean back and escape the complete force of the hit. He pulled his hands away and moved them to hold down the man's arms by his side. "I think you've got your proof." he said. There was no telling if Akio could hear him but as long as he could read the words on his lips, there was no problem. Maybe going for the hearing wasn't the best idea in the world.

Akio smiled. "You've exceeded my expectations. Sadly, you've left your guard open this whole time." Akio's foot was holding a small knife, pointed at the man's back. He put the knife on the ground. "It was fun though." Showing a bit more strength than normal, Akio's hand went up as he let a small yawn. He then put his hand back where the man had pinned him. "Well, we can stay here all day and make people laugh at us or you could let me go. Really I'm fine with either, but I've had a bit of a busy day planned for myself."

Archer rolled his eyes and stood up, he held a hand out to help the man back up. "The day's yet to start, but I agree. I've got a few plans before the night is through. I guess I'll be seeing you sometime in the future." He pulled out his cigarettes and lit one, pulling in a drag and puffing out smoke rings. "Fun indeed." he chuckled and rolled his shoulders. "I'll catch ya later." he said as he walked into the darkness of the cemetery.
