[center][h3]Ray vs Rem: Leaders Pride[/h3][/center]
"Lead the way! I'll let you pick where you'll lose!" Rem smiled confidently as the other pirate jumped off the platform. He was sure of his ability to win, afterwards, he would take down Drake and finally stand atop the platform! Rem starting picking his nose nonchalantly, or so it seemed. In reality, he was taking a piece of mucus to use during a surprise attack. He hadn't shown off his ability to anyone, nor had he used it when fighting amongst the crowd of marines and pirates. He would likely have the element of surprise over the other more renowned outlaw. This only served to increase his certainty of victory.

"You're confidence and determination is one many should look up to. But biting off more than you can chew, i'll show you why that's bad" Ray stated to the pirate. He keeps picking his nice and leaving them on the ground. His attitude doesn't fit the dirty pirate type, he's planning something. Ray needed to get in close to use specialty and with that one thought in his mind he grabbed his pistols and loaded them with red bullets that look liked drills at the tip. I'm ready. 

Rem smiled, dropping off the last of his mucus. All the drops were far apart from each other. This was less for him, and more for the sake of having a wider range for his attacks. It was likely that he would only need to use them if things started looking especially bad for him. He cracked his knuckles, letting out a loud laugh! "Of course I have to show confidence! What kind of leader would I be if I didn't?" With that, Rem charged at Ray, aiming a regular punch at Ray's stomach! For now, all he'd need were his regular attacks! His strength was monstrous as a result of his training!

Ray easily dodged the slow punch with lightning speed, "Is that it?" Ray was behind him now, Rem, still following through with his first punch, "You're far too slow." Ray kneed Rem in the right side of his ribs, forcing him forward. Ray stood there, smiling. "A leader? You have you're own crew? How many people are in it? oooo wait, what's it's name?"

em grit his teeth as he was hit in his rib. Ray was obviously very powerful, he was sure that the kick alone had managed to cause him great internal damage. It was safe to say that his pride had been harmed by Ray's insults. He quickly adopted a much more furious look, refusing to show anymore signs of weakness. "I haven't got a name yet!" His eyes looked much more intimidating, the playfulness from before vanished in an instant. "I'm still looking for members, but I know that my crew'll be the strongest in the world!" His pride was starting to make him think more irrationally. 
Rem had become much less patient, he was now planning on defeating Ray with his next attack! Once again, he charged at Ray, seemingly consumed by rage! He did nothing differently from the last time! But he actually had another trick up his sleeve. Upon getting attacked by Ray, he would blow up the struck part of his body. But even with his rage, he couldn't help but think about what would happen if Ray moved too fast, or even found out about his power. Rem refused to falter even with these thoughts and kept charging at Ray!

"No members and no name. You're not a leader, you're weak and pathetic." Ray had enough, he wanted fun and was now getting serious, if he keeps it up, he could kill Rem. The same attack was coming towards Ray, He let out a sigh of disappointment, "This is not how a leader would fight, compose yourself, think before attacking and DON'T BE A HOTHEAD!" Ray screamed, bringing his leg down on his knee cap, it was unclear if it broke or not, but Rem was hurt.

Rem had a pained expression on his face as his kneecap was hurt by Ray's leg, but couldn't help but feel pleased as Ray took the bait. "I've thought about this enough..." Rem grinned as he spoke lowly. As their bodies made physical contact, Rem blew up his entire body, choosing to blow up the mucus that he had left on the floor simultaneously. Because of the resulting explosion, smoke filled the air. For an onlooker, it was almost impossible to even see either of the two combatants. But one thing was for sure, if the explosion hit, Ray would suffer a lot of damage!

Ray saw his body muscles tense up, in a split second his skin changed a different shade, Get Away. Ray jumped back at tremendous speeds, but a little bit of the fire had cut Ray along his cheek. The explosion was one of three possibilities Ray had thought of and took some minor precautions, Ray spoke to the smoke, "That explosion was sneaky, but nothing too strong, you're gonna have to do better then that mate." As he said this, he swung his leg into the air, connecting with Rem's shoulder, than again to his already damaged ribs. "You're no leader." 

Rem coughed out blood as he was hit in the rib again. The drops of blood fell onto Ray's leg, Rem gave another smile, as if there was still a chance that he could win. "Don't think you've won just yet!" Rem blew up the drop of blood on Ray's leg. The resulting explosion would be very powerful, not enough to destroy any bones, but strong enough to at least cause great damage.

Ray laughed as his leg was blown back from the force of the explosion, flipping him onto his back. He laid on the ground, laughing at the surprise
"Ahahaha, that was awesome!" he yelled into the smoke. A chunk of wood came crashing down next to Ray, confused he inspected it. Looking at it he realized it was a piece of of the platform. Ray saw something coming towards Rem from the sky. Oh no! Ray ran towards where he could feel Rem was and tackled him out of the way. A metal beam came crashing down with strong force behind it, crashing into the very spot Rem was. "Ray, we have to go. Victor is here!" came Elvira's voice from the clearing. Ray looked at Rem and waited for the 'ok' to leave this fight for another time.

"Hahaha..." Rem gave a weak laugh, truth be told, Ray's attacks were extraordinarily painful. "We can finish this later, but next time I'll beat you without breaking a sweat!" Even after having being saved, Rem still had his pride.  Although, a question was formed in his mind. Who was Victor? The Silver Eyes were supposedly an insanely powerful crew of pirates, what one man could frighten them so much? But all of these thoughts came to a halt as he realized what Ray had saved him from. It was a piece of the executioner's platform. HIS platform was destroyed. Slowly, rage soon started to build up inside of Rem as he gained the desire to take revenge for what had happened.
"WHO THE HELL DID THIS TO MY PLATFORM!"
