Blood, sweat, tears, the sound of intelligible cheers and jeers over the sound of flesh hitting flesh. GOD he missed these places. Inferno had done alot of moving around lately since he got bored with one place after awhile. Jump City still had plenty to offer in the way of super powered heroes to smash, but nothing beat an illegal underground fighting tournament. Especially one that catered to metahumans or mutants looking to make alittle extra cash.
Inferno could remember getting work in gangs from these fights aswell. So it was very profitable to participate in these things. As an added bonus, this place looked like it was run by a professional. There wasn't anything cheap here which meant it was harder for things to get broken in a bar brawl or if any of the actual fighters got carried away. Inferno had doubts the place could handle HIM, but that remained to be seen as he signed up. "No entrance fee? Cool, but that's weird," Inferno thought, not thinking too much about it as he watched the first set of fights.
He wasn't expecting to see much, but after seeing the fights he was actually anxious to get into the ring with one of these guys. Finally he did get his turn, prompting him to jump in at once. "Alright! Which of you wants to have their face autographed by my fist first?" Inferno howled arrogantly. The crowd had a mixed response to Inferno, some cheered, some booed, some suddenly went pale. Very fear booed him simply due to the fact he was a giant.
Another guy jumped into the ring next. A massive man in his own right, he was big as far as normal people went. But there was something about this guy that got Inferno's spine tingling. "So you're the Big Red Beast people have been talking about? What an honor... can't wait to see what people say when I kick your ass," Inferno's opponent said popping his neck in stereotypical macho fashion.
"Nobody'll say anything about me kicking your fat ass. Really one sided frankly," Inferno retorted, popping his neck, knuckles, and toes. Inferno was told to remove his gloves before they started and did so since he really wouldn't need them plus it made it all that more satisfying when he hit the guy.
They both took a corner and then something that even impressed Inferno happened. An energy barrier went up around the ring, forming a large box around Inferno and his opponent. "Well damn, I'm impressed now," Inferno chuckled as he got into a stance of sorts. Then a bell or something went off, Inferno stopped paying attention as he and this nameless guy kicked off toward eachother. Neither tried to block, they both swung and hit eachother dead on with their fist. However, only one of them was gonna be sent flying.
Inferno's opponent was sent hurling into the energy barrier, hissing as the barrier shocked him. He should have exploded or been knocked out from one blow. Inferno tanked the hit no problem, it stung alittle but his punch didn't even seem to phase the other guy. "That punch would have wrecked a car.... guess your ugly mug can take a hit," Inferno smirked, cracking his knuckles again as he pressed his advantage.
Once again the two exchanged hits, and once again Inferno's really durable opponent was knocked into the wall of energy for another painful jolt. Inferno was definitely thinking he had this as he went in with some jabs, only for his opponent to knock them off course and counter with a punch to his face that made him stumble back alittle. This guy was durable, but his punches weren't anything special as Inferno recovered and threw a roundhouse kick which was a feint.
When his opponent went to block, Inferno pulled the foot back and pushed both fists out, fire suddenly erupting from them in the form of an explosion which not only sent his opponent into the wall, but also burned him! "AAAAAAAH OH MY GOD!" the man cried in agony, not able to put himself out as Inferno grabbed him by the neck and threw him into the wall of energy. Inferno had a crazed look in his eye now, grinning like a cheshire cat as he followed after the man and drove his knee into his back to send him into the wall again.
Inferno kept him to the wall, the wall literally electrocuting them both. He ignored the pain, not letting up until the man stopped struggling finally. The match was declared over as Inferno let him drop the floor, basking in the mixed response of the crowd. Most cheered, but the ones who booed... were now scared out of their minds. "HELL YEAH!" Inferno howled, basking in the limelight for a moment longer before he went out to watch the next fight.
