Viral hit fast, and he hit hard. If the Chieftain wasn't careful he could very well end up taking some serious punishment during their exchange. All that could be done for the flurry of punches was brace and take them in stride, with the Narbu managing to absorb most of the hits. Continuing to do so however wasn't going to help him, they needed to break apart. Finally managing to block Viral's attacks he put distance between the two of them, taking a brief moment to gather himself. His stomach and chest were quite sore at this point, easily bruised. But bruises were scarcely something to make him back down, it would take more than that to win. "You're good, Viral. Against any other opponent you'd probably have done some serious damage. [i]Ir veste[/i]." Suffice to say things were a bit more serious now, those hits were beyond just testing the waters. If Viral was willing to stop pulling punches then so was the Chieftain, he would fight on the Beastman's terms. 

If Viral thought he was the only one of them with speed then he was in for quite the shocker. The Chieftain could move swiftly as well, though only in bursts, not constantly. Now would be a perfect time to show that though, with Viral temporarily complacent. By extending a leg back he gave himself more force, pushing off and rushing headlong at the Beastman. With one great punch thrown forward he managed to hit the visitor, both causing damage and driving him back. Something wasn't right though, what was this strange sensation? Eyes locked onto Viral, the Narbu watched as energy began to leak from his opponent. Small amounts at first, and then in a flash it was released in a burst. Growling angrily as he was temporarily blinded the Chieftain had to back off slightly, and even more so when he was kicked in his bruised torso. Shielding his eyes with one hand he looked back down, noticing now too the singed hair and skin on his person. That energy, whatever it had been, was quite hot. Enough so that the snow and ice around them had melted, with bare rock showing. "Are we using energy now? Is this your way of telling me?"

Something here didn't seem quite right, or perhaps he was imagining things. Takeshi had this funny feeling right as the Narbu was going to attack Viral but stayed put, not willing to act just on a gut feeling. Watching on instead he narrowed his eyes at the Beastman as something seemed off, and a second later watched in shock as energy was expended from their friend. Wait a minute, Viral was using energy first? He hated doing that, and it wasn't like he was in dire straights here. Nor did he dodge that attack where he easily could of, so what was going on? Feeling Shu behind him the older boy frowned, watching the pair carefully. "He should have dodged it, that's the thing... He had plenty of time to," Takeshi said. Unless he wanted to get hit so he could use his energy there. But again, Viral using energy was very irregular. "Shu... I'm starting to think this isn't going to end well... I've just got this bad feeling."
