"I would have ranged options if it wasn't for my bad eye and ear, can't really aim well if your depth perception is shit. So I gotta close the distance and hit them with the ol' one two" he then threw two quick punches at the air in front of him, the speed at which he throws them caused an audile whoosh of wind. "I hope we can fight at each other's side as well, I'd love to see what you can to with that sword on your hip." quickly gesturing to it with his eyes and an idea pops into his head as he smirked "How about a sparring match sometime soon? I'm always up to the challenge"
"well sometimes people leave your life with nothing more than a huff, I hate to say that I've done that more times than I can count. Sometimes leavin' is just the best option. But she sounds strong enough to be able to take care of herself" he stated with a shrug "but this Vonoros fella sounds quite interesting, I mean anyone who claims to be a vice-commander of a pirate crew has to have some kind of story to 'em, have you met back up with any of the other vice-commanders? Or did y'all go no contact after that fateful day?"
"well if I were to give any advice I'd say just drop in to see them whenever, but I might not be the best person to take family advice from, just sayin'." he let out another chuckle and claps a hand onto Javal's shoulder "well what do you say we become some friendly rivals. It would do me some good to fight someone stronger than your average bandit or bounty hunter, and you definitely seem a hell of a lot stronger than me. Of course it would be some friendly sparring here and there, and *definitely* no hard feelings. So what do you say?"

“How did your bad eye and bad ear happen? Was it because of the tragic Bellamy situation? I don’t like marksmen since it feels too easy. I think battles should be up close and personal either weapons or fists".
Javal chuckles at Flint’s fist punches, “Aha yes I am a big fan of the one, two, and also the three and four”, he also punches the air in a light four-punch combo.
Javal speaks in a slightly more cheerful tone, “Yes and also no. Out of the seven, I know where four of us are. I travel around seeking adventure and protecting people. My sworn brother Raoul travels to solve criminal cases, My other sworn brother Nieven is working on establishing his own business trying to earn his noble father’s respect, and my other other sworn brother Torin is trying to get his music off the ground playing at any local tavern around. I have no idea where the other three are, I haven't heard of Sasha since that day. I assume Vonoros is just lazing around probably for the past year straight knowing him and I have no idea where Cornelius could be".
Javal’s face goes from a light smile to a huge wild grin as Flint proposes his favorite activity to do with friends, fighting.
Javal almost falls off his chair as he jumps and says, “Yes of course I thought you’d never ask that’s why I didn’t mention it before”.
Javal then hops off his seat grabs Flint by the arm and rushes out of the tavern to find a place where the pair can have a friendly spar.

"Yeah I lost my sight and hearing on this side when Bellamy's father, the outlaw leader, beat me within an inch of my life with a solid iron club. I would've won that fight too but I had already beaten 5 or 6 of the men that had worked for him. I don't think he believed in fair fights, but after they left my boss at the bar dragged my unconscious body out of the street. I don't know if he did it out of a sense of pity or obligation either way it gave me enough time to figure out I could heal myself. It fixed up most of the damage done but it couldn't save my sight or hearin'. Left a pretty heavy scar though, but I wear it as a reminder and plus I added to it with my tattoo. he said as he ran his pointer finger down one of the branching paths of his lightening tattoo, thought it seemed to pulse with energy.
Flint nodded after getting the recap of all the vice commanders "well, I was right it does sound like each of the vice-commanders have some kind of story aligned with them. The ones you know about seem to be doin' alright for themselves, I'm hopin' that be said as well for the ones who are missin'" He took another puff of smoke
"Oh, I guess we're doin' this now" Flint tensed when his arm was suddenly grabbed, and before he was dragged off too far he quickly finished the rest of his drink. Once the pair was outside Flint was able to yank his arm free from Javal's strong grip, "Right where to? I think I saw an empty courtyard around here somewhere that would work for sparrin' ... Or we could just do it right here. though the people would have to clear away." He then placed his hands on his hips to think for a second. "dealin' with a crowd sounds like too much hassle, courtyard it is ... follow me" he sauntered off to where he thinks he remembered the courtyard being, motioning for Javal to follow him.

“I’m sorry to hear about that although I am glad to see that you have been able to move on with your life as is”, Javal says as he’s pulling Flint through the door outside.
“Yup, we are indeed doing this”, Javal says as he squats down once they're outside of the tavern and Javal has let go of Flint’s arm and starts looking around the area looking for the best battlefield area to hold their spar.
He was about to head over to a random dark alley with a shady-looking fellow before Flint called his attention toward the courtyard.
“The courtyard sounds like a great arena for our friendly battle”, Javals says following behind Flint excitedly murmuring about how this is so great that someone else has the same passion for fighting as him.
The duo made their way to the empty courtyard it wasn’t tiny however it wasn’t huge so it seemed like the perfect setting for their battle.
Javal walked over to the other side of the courtyard and takes off his red coat leaving his orange vest under throwing the red coat to the ground behind him.
He starts doing stretches moving his arms legs and other parts of his body before he lets out a loud sigh and grins widely, “So friend Flint want to establish any ground rules before we start this? Weapons Allowed? No below the belt? No in the eyes blows? I just want to establish any rules now before we get into this because I won’t be holding back even if we are friends, my friend”.

Flint grinned as they reached the courtyard, seeing Javal get himself ready he follows suit. Like a boxer in their corner of the ring Flint began to do small hops and rolled his shoulders to limber himself up. He took another long drag of his cigarette before tossing it on the ground in front of him and used his boot to extinguish it. "I'd say weapon are allowed, since I can heal both of us. No eye or below the belt shot, we're both honorable men despite our less than legal pasts. I'm glad you're goin' all out since I planned to do the same ... Now don't you disappoint me Javal" he said as his expression shifted to a serious and laser focused one, he took a boxers stance with his hands in front of him.
once he assumed Javal is ready he then chuckle to himself as his expression softened "I hate to say that I lied to you my friend ... I do got range" he joked as his 1right hand glowed a sharp purple, before he brings his arm up and the light elongates into a spear. He then took a skip jump to gain momentum and hucked the light spear towards Javal. A split second later he rushed towards him and 2cocked his arms as they shine a radiant light. Hoping that the bolt would catch him off guard he swung two heavy burning haymakers, his regular punches alone would do considerable damage as it feels like getting hit with a truck each time. However his burning fists are able to knock Javal back a little bit, he then motions for Javal to come at him with his hand. Before taking a more defensive stance.

Javal grinned ear to ear, “Alrighty then”, and took out his sword as Flint confirmed from his waistband he intended to go all out and he meant it.
He was glad that Flint had healed because if this all happened and they didn’t both would be in severe pain and would need some alcohol to ease their pain then but for now it’s time for action.
He shouts over, “Alright give me your best shot friend Flint I’ll be sure to give you mine” and readies himself for the opening strike.
Javal positions himself in a defensive sword stance with his trusted blade Theseus glowing a large blue color as its runes (1) shine and is surrounded by a calming ethereal (2) energy.
He slashed his katana downwards with his right hand slicing the energy spear in half before suddenly being hit with two large searing haymakers and he felt their full effect, feeling a large searing sensation across his bare exposed chest.
Javal then gets knocked back by Flint’s surprise opening block only a couple feet but that was enough to impress Javal all the same.
He laughs and says, “Man Flint you’re really strong now let me show you what I can do”, as he quickly touches the bottom of his feet (3) as he jumps back coating them with ice.
He then sprints at an extreme pass now increased by his magically manipulated ice feet and charges at Flint getting close enough in a blur to attempt a single slash aiming for Flint’s chest empowered by his water rune and angelic light.
After attempting this attack Javal jumps back a decent bit to avoid any retaliation from Flint; his fists had proven themselves indeed mighty.

Flint Smirked seeing that Javal was still standing after tanking his opening combo. In his defensive stance he started to started to circle him eyeing him down, then when he blinked and then Javal was already within range preparing a slash. In an attempt to knock him back he aims a punch towards his center mass, but he loses the battle of speed as he felt the cold steel cut across his chest. Despite losing at the draw he followed through with his swig, ultimately missing Javal as he jumped back but hitting the ground below them. As Flint's fist made contact with the ground it shot up a large dust cloud launching some debris into the surrounding area. He caught a few of the pieces and quickly dashed deeper into the cloud.
Flint used the dust cloud to hide himself from Javal vision and with a loud wooshing sound he tossed one of the pieces at Javal. Then from a different angle he tossed the other one like a baseball pitcher, hoping to disorientate his opponent and keep himself hidden. As the cloud started to settle Flint was no where to be seen, until the sound of running footsteps quickly approached Javal. Flint jumped as he did a full speed drop kick into Javal's side, then he quickly rotated his body and tried to throw a punch to attempt to knock Javal to the ground. Flint quickly got to his feet and 1cocked his arms again as more radiant light engulfed his hands."I might just have to pull out all the stops to beat you" he joked as he whipped some blood from his mouth with his thumb.

Javal spits out some saliva since he had his mouth opened as the dust cloud exploded up from the ground due to Flint’s punch.
He then looks around trying to find Flint among the distraction until he is suddenly hit by some debris at his shoulder. He looks around once more trying to make a sight for Flint’s direction he chuckles, “Woah there Flint it seems like I was right you are a great marksman”.
As the dust settled Javal braced himself with his katana in a defensive position he was expecting some sort of surprise attack from Flint given the dust cloud move and intended on keeping his guard up.
His guard was well founded as Flint came at him with a full drop kick he tried pushing back and sending a counter slash at him but the follow-up punch surprised him and knocked him down.
Javal gets up quickly and his grin gets wider, “Woah Flint you’re pretty strong but it’s my turn now”.
Javal then motioned with his free hand to the fountain nearby and sent it straight at Flint shifting (1) its shape into a large fist.
As the water fist is about to hit Flint, Javal zooms rushing at Flint and attempts to slash him with his water rune (2) angelic light (3) increased power across the chest.

Flint motioned for Javal to come at him with his glowing hand, and his grin grew almost manic seeing him manipulate the water into a fist. He's never gotten the chance to go all out with someone who was clearly stronger than him, yet he was somehow holding his own. As the water rushed towards him he planted his feet and put his whole body into one punch to hopefully try and stop it. Once he made contact with the water it was like trying to push against an unmovable wall, yet flint struggled against it. He pushed himself to break through it, he grit his teeth and followed through redirecting the rushing water away from him. He let out a heart laugh, he seemed to be having the time of his life "you definitely have me beat in spells but I make up for that with my unrelenting strength" his eyes darted around trying to spot where Javal's next attack would come from.
Though the struggle was enough of a distraction to allow Javal to get within range again. Still recovering from the water fist Flint didn't have enough time to dodge but he decided that the best defense was an unrelenting offense. He felt the steel of his sword once again across his chest, but that meant Javal was within Flint's range as well. Flint quickly grabbed his sash and pulled his arm, then turned on his heel. Using his momentum against him he judo flipped Javal over his shoulder and slammed him onto the ground. Normally he would follow this up with a swift kick to the side but doing that to him felt cheap and dishonorable. He let out a little chuckle as it seemed even with his short time of knowing him, he had picked up some of his ideals. Instead of jumped back and steeled his defense preparing for a counter attack from him.

Javal tried to jump back knowing that Flint was most likely to retaliate after he delivered his blow; he was expecting some sort of searing fist double punch attack so he was blocking high. He was completely caught off guard as he saw Flint grab onto his red sash and throw him over his shoulder.
“Darn it, I should’ve been more careful. Flint's one hell of a fighter”, he thought as he felt himself slam into the ground.
Javal quickly got up from the ground and opened his mouth (1) aiming it at Flint sending a large ice cone at him in case he retaliated or planned on following up his attack.
Javal let out a hearty chuckle and said, “Woah Flint you’re pushing me to my wit’s end here looks like I got to step it up”.
He then raises his free katana-less hand and suddenly a small flurry of snow (2) appears directly above Flint not harming him but just enough to blur his vision and distract him.
Javal then started spinning his Katana in his hand and suddenly threw the Katana whirling (3) through the air at very quick speed at Flint aiming for his chest or abdomen.

As Flint watched Javal get up he tried to keep his feet moving to be able to dodge whatever was coming his way. His eyes widened in surprise as a large cone of ice was the last thing he expect to come out of his mouth, he quickly dove to the right as the frost seemed to catch a small part of his cloak instantly freezing the chunk. "Gods you've just got all kinds of tricks don't ya?" He joked as looked around to noticing the sprinkling of snowflakes around him. When he looked back to where Javal was once standing only see a deep icy mist and with even more flurries of snowflakes clouding his vision. He quickly 1cocked his arms in an attempt to help him see along with preparing himself to counter the next attack.
Luckily with his one good ear he heard a what sounded like something spinning towards his direction. Suddenly through the mist came the spinning whirlwind that was Javal's sword, before he could dodge he felt the sword plunge into his shoulder. Even more luckily for him the chuck of ice on his cloak stopped the sword from cutting too deep into his shoulder, he then let out a pained groan. Flint had never had to try this hard in a fight before which made his fire to win burn even brighter than ever before and his manic grin grew even wider as he rushed to where the sword came from not bothering to take it out of his shoulder yet. As he emerged from the mist he spotted the purple tiefling and like a freight train rushed towards him.
Flint knew he probably couldn't take anymore big hits like that so he knew he had to end this fast and took two wild haymakers towards Javal. Then to pull out something that might have a slight chance of beating him, he started to attempt something he's only seen Colt do before. 2Flint raised his right leg as it 1burned with radiant light and took a feinted kick towards his side, then quickly shifted his weight to aim even higher for another feinted kick, then fully extending his leg to send a full power kick to the side of his head. Flint hoped that this would be the deciding factor in who won but he didn't know if this was enough to bring down the powerhouse that was Javal.

Javal winced a little bit after hearing Flint’s groan in pain he started to rethink his actions, “Have I gone too far in this fight”, he thought as he held out his hand trying to command his sword to return to him. As he looked around trying to spot Flint he noticed that he couldn’t hear his blade’s whirring sound as it hadn’t returned yet. This meant that Flint probably was able to grab it before it hit him and was about to retaliate.
Javal was ready for that and touched his shoulder with his green glowing right hand and suddenly the entirety of Javal’s body was covered head to toe with vines and thorns (1) in preparation for any of Flint’s attacks.
Javal smiled as he saw Flint speed forth he stood tall and blocked the two haymakers that Flint threw at him hoping to injure his hands as they made contact with Javal’s thorny and viny body.
Javal stood tall and blocked his body with his arms, hoping to tank the two haymakers Flint would throw at him, injuring his hands as they made contact with Javal’s thorn-covered body.
As Javal saw the incoming kick he smiled and planned on taking it head-on, holding his hands to his side trying to cast something while was in motion.
Above the two a giant portal of the sea (2) emerged and doused the two with large amounts of water he hoped would tank the blow or weaken Flint’s searing kick.

Flint ignored the sharp pain that shot through his hands when he struck Javal's thorn-covered body. Flint had never fought anyone of this caliber before and he saw his new acquaintance, no at this point he would call him a friend and a rival, as a new hurdle for his skill. The fantasies of future spars ran through his head as his vision started to blur, his body was starting move on instinct at this point. If it was just pain Flint would not stop until he is unconscious
He didn't even fully acknowledge the downpour of water over the two as he pushed his body and fighting spirit to the absolute limit, he let out a battle-cry from deep within him as his leg tried to cut through the water. It makes contact with the side of Javal's temple but not at the power that Flint was hoping as the water acted as a buffer. Flint backed away to gain some distance between the two. His stance which was once before a tight boxers stance has given way to more open martial arts one. His whole body hurt as he swayed back and forward on shaky legs, but his smile was as big as ever.
Between his labored breaths Javal could hear some laughing "We…Ain't…Done…Yet" Something within Flint is pushing his will even further than his body can go, it's clear that this spar has awoken something in him. He could barely see in front of him but he slowly held up one of his punctured and steaming hands and motioned for Javal to come at him, then steeling his defenses to the best his broken body could allow.

Javal’s grin grew wider and his hair was undone from his ponytail falling across his back and face. This is what made him feel alive, the feeling of fighting a worthy opponent, somebody as strong as him. This reminded him of his old pirate days fighting on the open seas feeling the danger of dying between the threat of flying cannonballs, rifle shots, and generally dangerous and life-threatening pirates. He was so excited and happy that he met somebody that was as battle hungry and strong as he was. He was already used to facing older and much more powerful opponents like Yasei or Leandros but Flint was a worthy rival.
Javal returned Flint’s war cry with one of his own as loud as he could, he then yelled over to Flint, “I agree my friend, this battle isn’t over until one of us is knocked out cold on the floor”.
Javal then raised his hands as the sea portal disappeared and manipulated (1) it into a huge water fist that he sent straight at Flint.
He then charges as the first attempts to land and slashes Flint across the chest as his blue glowing (2) sword is enveloped by light (3).

Even with his blurry vision Flint attempted to sway out of the way of the water fist rushing in his direction. then the split second before impact he ducked backwards letting the water rush past him, though with the speed at which the fist traveled caused his hat to be blasted off of his head. He attempted to bring himself back up to fully standing, but the fatigue seemed to be catching up to him as his feet slipped out from under him and landed on his back. Normally this loss in balance would be to someone's detriment in a fight but Flint lucked out as Javal's swing that was aimed at his chest swung wide.
Flint felt his chances of winning growing slimmer by the second and now he felt this blunder would mean his defeated. But now seeing from a lower perspective an opening presented itself as Flint used some of the remaining strength he had to push himself off of the ground and launch two climbing kicks into Javal's seemingly open abdomen. Then hoping that would stagger him enough he used his arms and legs to restrict the tiefling's legs. Using his body weight he rolled and slammed Javal down to the ground with him with a heavy thud. He never thought that he would ever have to use any of the grappling techniques that colt taught him, yet here he is which told him that he truly was not holding anything back.
He then swiftly kicked himself away from Javal and shakily popped himself back up, returning to swaying stance he had earlier. Yet something felt not right as his eyes started to blur even more and was struggling to stay on his feet. His body was starting to reach it's limit, Shit this might be it he thought to himself. Yet the fire that burned inside of Flint kept him on his feet and he brought his hands back up in a defensive manner, he wasn't going to let himself lose without depleting everything he had first.
