Round 1 Eric Taylor Jackson vs Eriolin:
The competitors walk into the arena, the spectators cheering and screaming as they do. The two humans look at each other briefly and then walk to opposite sides of the arena. The lighting has been dimmed to only allow the spectators to cleary see what is happening. The competitors on the other hand, can no longer see much of anything clearly, only a single light in the middle of the arena that illuminates itself and a pair of concentric rings around it. The floor where the competitors now stand is made of a sold metal while the area inside the rings is sand. The attention of the spectators and competitors alike is drawn up above where the competitors walked in. A light turns on in the area to reveal General Gomao, the sponsor of the tournament, with him are the Grand Minister of COMPNOR Lahya Solo-Katarn, the Minister of Defense Ieyena Cohean, Deputy Minister of Defense Daniella Organa, Director of Intelligence Loxiz Mivvit, Supreme Chancellor Joe Quick, and of course High Prince James Stratus and the rest of the Royal Family. In a room across from them, the rest of the Senate and High Council also watches. The holo of General Gomao also appears down in the arena. "Welcome to the start of the Galactic Martial Arts Tournament. The first match will be between none other than one of of the Executors of the Imperial Repulic, Eric Taylor Jackson and SI Agent Eriolin. The round will consist of the best of three matches, each ending with a knockout or submission. Good luck, gentlemen." The image of General Gomao then disappears and the light in the room where he sat also turned off.

(/OOC: Eriolin will post an introduction first, it will also state whether or not he wishes to post the first action. This will be followed by Eric's intro post. And then the first action. The order will then be both player's actions followed by the result of those actions and each character's relative status until either player gives up or is KOed.)

*Eriolin's medium build started to arch into a complete backbend in which every joing between his glutes and the nape of his neck cracked as the air was forced out of the joints, he flipped back up popping each knuckle at Eric as if to provoke him before the fight even began.*

"I wish to fight you with every inch of my will, I hope you do the same, this is suppose to be entertaining and I havn't been in a good fight since the Nubian reign of fire battle I fought. Lets have some good ole fun."

(/ooc I wish to go second)

[Oho Gomao]

Eric stretched out his abdominal muscles, and looked to his wife, smiling softly to her. He closed his eyes and bowed his head, saying a silent prayer to whoever was out there...Eric had been brought up under the Gand religion, Alissma, and although he didnt practice it...he knew he needed help from whomever to win this.

Eriolin looked young. Younger then the middle aged Eric Taylor Jackson. He smiled warmly at his opponent, before taking his dark sunglasses off.

The cybernetics in his eyes were revealed to his younger opponent, along with the scars that went with it. Eric smirked slightly, hearing the man's words. "It will be a good fight, kid..." he said quietly, intentionally belittling him in order to earn his ire.

He looked back up at the skybox, and mouthed, "I love you..." to her, before turning back to Eriolin. Banter was permitted, but Eric would have none of it. The intensity in his scarred eyes was plain to see, even though the cybernetics were supposed to be emotionless.

Eric was so focused on his opponent, that he almost missed the signal to open the match.

Almost.

He began circling his opponent, in a typical street-fighting stance, one he had honed to perfection when he was all of fourteen years of age. Back in the days where he was dodging the Gand fist that seemed to love striking his body. Seemed to love Eric crying out in pain.

He swore to himself that that would never happen again, not now, not ever. He would not scream for this man...nor any man. Only person he'd cry out for, would be for his wife. And that was hardly pain...

Slowly moving in on his opponent, and although he never knew it, his far distant twi'leki blood began to pump with him. Eric had never known about this...but it had granted him nibleness not normally granted to humans. Granted, it didnt ordinarily work, and Eric was athletic and acrobatic on his own, but it was a neat help...

Without a further thought, Eric struck out with a straight jab with his left towards the younger man, following it with a right hook, and not allowing his momentum from the thrown punch to cease, he dropped, in a leg sweep aimed at the back of the man's thighs. He aimed to get him to land on his neck, looking for a fast victory in his first match.

*Eriolin watched as the jab came knowing there was not enough time to dodge he grabbed the wrist of Eric and pushed it away, as the right hook came in it was just slow enough to dodge, Eriolin lowered himself almost into a full crouch, as the leg sweep came in Eriolin threw his hands back absorbing 70% of the force while the other 30% hit his hands into his back. Eriolin made a quick tumble back up and into fighting stance*

"Nice but dont guess my age"

*Eriolin came in fast and side stepped as he made a right hand punch at Eric's mid section as Eriolin side stepped his left hand came in towards his Kidney the hardest part of the body to protect, Eriolin then tucked his body and with his momentum tumbled away*

(DO NOT GOD MOD, I WILL REVERSE WHATEVER YOU DO, HAD YOU NOT DONE THAT, YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN FINE.)
*Eriolin pushes Eric's left hand away and goes to dodge the right hook and learns that's impossible unless he didn't have a spine and takes the full brunt of Eric's right fist, causing his head to jerk up and to the left, combined with the stress attempting to dodge the attack exerted on his back and hips, caused Eriolin to begin to twist away, revealing his back to Eric. Eric's left leg swung around and clipped the back of Eriolin's leg, causing him to slam face first into the floor.*
Status:
Eric: With lowered into a semi-crouch with his leg's spread farely far apart.
Eriolin: On the ground face first with several broken teeth, an injured jaw and overexertion stress on his back.

/ooc: Eriolin, let's re-look at your post and see how that could have been better and not pissed me off.
*Eriolin watced as the jab came towards him, deciding to attempt to push Eric's fist away. Eric's right then followed quickly and Eriolin tried to pull his hands up to block. (Your own Anatomy would stop you from dodging that attack, you've already positioned yourself in the exact opposite form). If he managed to block the attack from Eric, the offsetting of momentum would have been enough to stop the sweep, if not, Eriolin would try to leap towards Eric and roll to his side. If it was enough to offset the momentuum, Eriolin would attempt to roll to beneath Eric's arms and deliver a quick punch to his opponent's kidney.

[Oho Gomao]

Eric grinned, watching the man fall flat onto his face, blood coming from his mouth. He shook his head. My God, kids these days are weak.

He considered backflipping, and giving his opponent a chance to get up. Then he recalled something he'd learned ages ago. NEVER let your opponent get back up.

Without further ado, Eric attempted to dropped from his position standing over Eri, and land on top of his upper body. If successful, he would curl his arm under the man, attempting to get his forearm and bicep to lock on his carotid arteries, cutting off circulation to his brain...also, using the crook of his elbow to cut off the oxygen supply to the same.

Post Summary
Attempted to drop down on Eri
If successful, front-facelock maneuver
If successful, apply pressure, cutting off circulation and air supply.

*pushes himself back up looking a bit beat up*

*Eriolin slides back a few feet*

"Eric your attacks are swift for a old timer, now you shall see my swiftness"

*As Eric looked on Eriolin glared down not looking at his opponent, Eriolin put his left foot back pushing off towards Eric fairly slowly due to the sand in the ring, at about 1.2 feet away Eriolin tried to uppercut at Eric's stomach and if he succeded in knocking the wind out of Eric he would then follow up with a elbow to the back, if he did not succede in the uppercut he would then do a turning backhand to Eric's shoulder*

Post summary:
Uppercut
if worked: elbow to the back
if failed: backhand to the shoulder

[Oho Gomao]

*Eric drops down to where Eriolin is laying slightly stunned from the beating he just endured. Eric went to position his arm under Eriolin's neck when Eriolin attempted to push himself away, unsucessfully. However, before Eric could begin applying any pressure, Eriolin mustered almost unheard of strength (20 on a d20) strength in his upper body and pushed Eric away and onto his back. Eric needless to say slightly dazed from this unheard of show of strength, allowing Eriolin and him to stand up.*

*Eriolin then pushed off for an uppercut into Eric's stomach that landed but not with very much power and only managed to cause the Executor to cringe, without knocking the wind out of him. Before Eriolin can even try a spinning backhand, Eric resests and easily blocks Eriolin's left arm before it hits the Executor.*
Status:
Eric: Standing, slight pain in the stomach
Eriolin: Standing, still major back pain, the pain in the face has begun to leave.

[Oho Gomao]

Eric swore under his breath as he got punched in the abdominal muscles he'd spent a lifetime training. I'll show this sumb***h what this old man can do... he thought to himself.

Summoning all of his agility and strength, Eric jumped, raising his leg in the air, trying to catch him with a cresent kick with the outer portion of his boot. If that succeeded, he would immediately drop, and swing his legs around to attempt to trip him from behind in another leg sweep, doubling it in case he jumps the first. If Eri ducked under the kick, he would attempt to take out the back of his knee, again with a sweep, from behind.

Post Summary
Cresent Kick
If succeeded, drop down for a leg sweep x2
If failed, drop down to kick out the back of his knee

[Oho Gomao]

*Eriolin happy with his first hit to Eric decided to play a bit more defensive to let his back recover but then thought full out aggression might be needed to even the score*

*Eriolin with the pain in his back channeled his built up adrenaline into a quick front kick to push Eric back if that failed and Eric caught it he would try to twist his hardest to kick his shoulder or if deflected just try a quick sweep after his kicking foot landed, if the initial kick did succede he would step back into a resting stance and prepare for another round.*

Post summary:
Adrenaline powered front kick
If failed quick sweep
if caught quick twist
if succeeded defensive rest

[Oho Gomao]

/ooc SWEET, conflicting posts, i love these *begins to place the speed everything would happen in in his mind.*
*Eric jumps into the air for the cresent kick as Eriolin begins to lift up his foot and push foward. Eric's attack however is much quicker between the mere speed of the attack and Eriolin's delay caused by the severe pain he is experiencing. As a result Eric's heel slams into the top of Eriolin's head dropping Eriolin to the floor instantly, the sweeps are completely uneeded and Eriolin falls to the floor. Eriolin can barely begin to stand up but is now loosing consiousness quickly and is experiencing blurred and double vision. However, the attack also brought more movement to Eric's stomach than he really needed. Needless to say, none of Eriolin's attacks connect.*
Status:
Eric: Standing, pain in the stomach has begun to fade but the muscles still feel slightly over-stressed, movement is only slightly decreased as a result.
Eriolin: Face first on the ground, back pain has actually gotten worse due to the lack of concentration that was keeping the pain under control, top of the head is bruised and exceptionally, the pain in the back and head has completely over shadowed the pain in the face, double vision, blurred vision, feels faint.

[Oho Gomao]

Eric rested his hand on his stomach as he rose to his feet. He looked at the pained Eri....and tried again...

*Eriolin noticed the pain in Eric's stomach, as Eriolin layed there for a dew seconds while Eric was resting eriolin's eyes grew cold, a quick meditating technique he learned years ago it only takes a matter of 1 or 2 seconds and it slightly boosts energy, and pain tolerance*

"I aint giving up that easy"

*Eriolin rolled back away from Eric as fast as possible and got to his feet about5 feet away from the pained Eric Jackson, while Eriolin had a limp from the fighting he percevered. Eriolin slowly walked up to Eric and with out a motion of aggression he threw a quick jab at eric's shoulder then switching to a quick punch at the stomach and then a slap to the face as to add insult to injury*

Post summary:

Roll away
right jab to shoulder
quick punch to gut
slap to the face

[Oho Gomao]

*Eric drops down nest to Eriolin and applies the hold, Eriolin tries to escape but is unable to, the further lack of oxygen and the previous fading of consiousness led to the Eriolin almost passing out. He attempts escape one last time and is again unable to, Eric then tightens the grip and Eriolin was finished. A holo of General Gomao appeared in the center of the ring and Eric let up, Eriolin still laying on the ground limp.*
"Match 1 is over, the winner by knockout is Executor Eric Taylor Jackson."
*Turning to the side where Eriolin had stood at the beginning of the fight.*
"Collect him."
*Medical personnel then ran towards the center of the ring and picked Eriolin up.*
"There will now be a break between fights, this should be long enough to recover the majority of your wounds, the second match will begin at the end of said break."

/ooc: Alright heres the status that I have, each fighter may IM or PM with what they would like to "fix" you may fix up to 5 points.
Eric: Stomach: 2
Eriolin: Head/Neck: 5, Back: 1

[Oho Gomao]

*General Gomao looked down at the taunting competitors and grinned. He enjoyed this showing of pride the two fighters had. He then stood up from his chair and the holo of him appeared on the field.*
"Gentlemen, after Eriolin's knockout in the first match, he has to win this one or will be eliminated. Both competitors are well rested I suppose?"
*The holo glanced to Eric's side first, his medics nodding. Then over to Eriolin's side, his medics also nodding.*
"Very well than, let's get on with this. Begin match 2!"

/ooc Eriolin, you act first.

[Oho Gomao]

*Eriolin's jab came flying in towards Eric who has slightly too slow with the dodge to avoid the attack, but not taking the full brunt of it. Eric's head dropped though as hit connected, making Eriolin think he had connected much harder than he actually did. This caused Eriolin to take a little more time with his next attack than he should have. As he was pulling back, Eric took the opportunity to charge Eriolin, catching him slightly offguard, Eric wrapped his hands around Eriolin's waist and went to lift him up when Eriolin's left fist came flying through and slammed into Eric's solarplexes. This caused Eric to let go of Eriolin who then pushed the Executor onto his back.*

Status:
Eriolin: Standing, minor headache
Eric: Laying on his back, some serious stomach pain, even worse then he felt in the first match.

[Oho Gomao]

*Eriolin swung in with the first fist and Eric was successful in dodging, hardly of his own doing, Eriolin's head flared up right as he swung and ruined his concentration enough to allow Eric to barely move and avoid the attack. Eriolin regained his concentration and started to swing in again with his other hand, Eric also dodged this attack, rolling out of the way, despite the pain in his stomach, it was completly successful, Eric was then able to catch his breath a little and was able to slightly focus away the pain in his stomach.*

Status:
Eriolin: Standing, headache has now faded.
Eric: Standing, stomach pain has been reduced to what it felt like at the end of the last match.

[Oho Gomao]

*Eriolin charges in towards Eric, getting the first attack in with minimal damage before Eric sidesteps and goes to trip Eriolin. The trip fails but Eriolin stumbles and completly loses his footing, ending the rest of his attack. However, since Eriolin didn't fall down, Eric didn't drop and the two competitors are both standing, glaring at each other amazed at each other's abilities in the second round.*

Status:
Eric: Standing, stomach pain only slightly worse than last round.
Eriolin: Standing, un-pained anywhere.

[Oho Gomao]

*Eriolin's roundhouse comes flying towards Eric, who quickly grabs onto the leg and slams his elbow HARD into Eriolin's knee. Combined with the clamp caused by Eric pinching Eriolin's knee into the ground, Eriolin's knee pops, it seems that Eric just reveresed the match with one action.*

Status:
Eriolin: On the ground, major pain in his right knee.
Eric: Elbow is clamping Eriolin's knee into the ground, pain comparable to the end of last fight is still in his stomach.

[Oho Gomao]

*Eriolin's heel is about to hit Eric's head when Eric sent the hand that wasn't pressuring Eriolin's leg up to block. The block was successful and as Eric went to follow up the pressure on Eriolin's knee by lifting himself up and hoping back down on Eriolin's knee with his own, Eriolin sent his other leg flying towards Eric's head again. This time, he did connect and knoced Eric off of his before and major pressure could have applied.*

Status:
Eric: Laying down, slightly less stomach pain than before but now with a sharp headache and a little dizzyness.
Eriolin: Laying down, only slightly worse pain in his knee, sore and swollen but not physically broken.
