West City Hijnks [Spark/Invite]

"Huh?" Tai turned his head curiously, his ears picking up on someone speaking out loud. A young voice, similar to his own in pitch, had called out, demanding folks step out of his way or else he'd make 'em feel pain. Now, Taido, being the genius he is, had gone and assumed he was being addressed. Not that Spark was speaking generally. Turning right around, the male marched right back into the crowd. This time, instead of shuffling and slipping between folks, he had forced people out of his way by grabbing them by their legs and moving them to the left and right respectively. He would have grabbed their shoulders, but height wasn't on this twelve-year-old's side. Clearing his way and carefully eyeing everyone on the premises, he locked sight on the other kid. "White hair? Get a load of this guy," He thought to himself. "Hey! Watch who you're talkin' to like that wimp!" Tai threatened, pointing a finger at Spark and speaking quite strongly. Of the two, Tai was far more boisterous and prideful when it came to confrontation.

As it would have it, he turned his head to the spinning performer. Raising his brows and shrugging. "Y'know what, that's not half bad." A small compliment before returning to the issue at hand. Locking eyes on the Elemi.

"My hair?!" Tai exclaimed, looking up to the spikes laying over his forehead. Swiftly, he pulled the yellow cap he had from his waist and placed it onto his head, adjusting it so that the bill face the back of him. A single bang poking out of the hole on the back. "You're one to talk, freak! Your hair looks like a sheep fell asleep on your friggin' head! That or it's a pompom! Borrow it from your sister?" Tai fired back! His words filled with a childish aggression. Obviously they weren't all that offensive, and even downright stupid, but to kids? If you said it loud enough and with a certain kick, anything was an insult. Walking a few steps further, Tai kept his finger up and jabbed at the air with the following phrase. "Like I said, wimp! Watch who you're talkin' to like that or else!" He repeated, wanting to get his point across. His eyes darting from Spark to the performer. "Is this guy even real? How's he not puking all over the place, the heck, man?" Taido asked, really curious at this point. Funny, a kid who could fly and shoot lasers from his hands was impressed by some dude on a hovercraft. Noticing the onlookers and spectators who were now looking at them, Tai grumbled in annoyance.

"E-yarth?!" Tai shouted in disbelief. He knew aliens lived on Earth and had different accents and whatnot, but a vast majority of them had a good grasp on how to pronounce the word Earth. Cocking a brow and shouting right back at the confused Elemi, Taido fired back, "It's Earth, ya freakin' loon! Err-thh!" He even sounded it out for the so-called Heran. "Proud warrior? Somethin' I'll never get? Well, how about this pal: I'm like, super strong! You wouldn't even believe how strong I am, I'm about as strong as...uh..." He trailed off for a moment before looking to the ground and grabbing an insect in two fingers. A little black ant, who was docile enough to just sit in his grip. "This! I'm as strong as an ant if it was this big!" He exclaimed, setting it down gently and then making a gesture that measured about his chest width. It was obvious that Tai Mei was fairly pleased with his claim as he rested his fists on his waist and a smug smirk on his lips. He wanted to really look at the performer, but had to maintain his coolness. "And I'll mess you up right here, too, pal!"

"Hey wait!?"

Tai was fairly upset about the other boy suddenly squishing the insect he had just set back down. Like someone had just been killed, Tai's eyes had been fixated on the crushed remains of the ant. A life had been snuffed out just for being weaker than someone else. "Some bugs are deadly as heck, buddy!" The youth protested. "Spiders, red ants, hornets, you name it!" He continued, listing insects that often made people uneasy and scared due to their various poisons and fierce stings. Frowning and clenching his fists, Tai continued to exclaim, "They're called anteaters, ya genius! And elephants don't eat or kill things with heartbeats, no matter how small!" He proceeded to stand upright and swipe his hand out to the right. "How would you like it if someone squished you, freakshow?!" Tai imposed the question before quickly shaking his head. "Don't answer! I'm gonna make you see what it's like to be tiny!" The hybrid claimed, matching Spark's streaks of lightning with a foreboding steam that rose from his shoulders. His control over water able to mix with his body heat in order to become the hot air.

"Showtime, freakshow!" Tai called, taking a few steps closer to his Heran trained opponent. It seemed that by Spark's stance, he was trained in a proper art of combat. Whereas Tai was far more street-fighting eccentric and small splashes of martial arts were in his style. And it showed, as the first act of this fight would begin with the youngster attempting to grab Spark by the shirt and smash his skull into the other. Hoping to daze him and give him a nice wake-up call.

Attempted grapple and headbutt to kick things off!

They had officially got it on! The crowd of spectators and even the performer halting in their actions and laying eyes on the two brats beginning to fight one another. They were smart nott o break it up, though, as they simply created a large circle in efforts to let the boys duke it out and sort themselves. Heck, even the police were opting out of this one. They could tell these kids were something else. After all, one of them had purple hair while the other had snow white. That alone made them stick out like sore thumbs. Tai, feeling his hand whiff and miss his target entirely, had felt the feeling of an impact on his legs. He had a plan for this! Tai accepted the attack and dropped himself onto his back, not softening his impact for anything. Ultimately, he had taken the first and only the first move of this two hit combo. Now, it seemed to be his turn! Smiling smugly, Tai had looked up to his standing foe.

Moving his hands and tightening his fingers against the ground, Tai had brought his legs up, curled in so his knees touched his chest. A peculiar choice of movement, but it served a purpose. Had Spark not been on his toes, he'd likely be victim to a mean wake-up attack. Tai launching himself back into a standing position as a ninja would or some sort of gymnast who was downed and sought a quick recovery. His legs shooting out like rockets, and the force behind them enough to propel him back onto his feet cleanly. Had his feet connected or not, was of no concern. His real attack was about to be unveiled. Tai loved messing with opponents and people he considered wimpy, so Spark was going to get the brunt of his obnoxiousness. Keeping the smug smirk on his face, Tai darted towards Spark. His fist cocked and launching forward, but stopping short. A feint! An accompanying "Boo!" behind the false attack, aimed to scare and force the other child to flinch. A follow-up motion being the sudden thrust of his other fist, this one a true attack aimed for Spark's stomach. The force behind this punch colossal, as he was forced to take a step forward in order to maintain balance and not throw himself onto the ground.

Recovered from downed state, avoided the punch. Attempted feint, followed by a fierce punch to the stomach.

"Never let your guard down, wimp!" Taido said, pleased with the succession of his attack. Retracting his fist and ignoring the other kid's claim of how much he hated him right now. Tai seemed to succeed in making this freak feel lesser and angry, as he had watched him regain his composure. His shirt being grappled and the two now taking to being airborne. Spark made a grave error in assuming he couldn't fly like the rest of his fellow Earthlings. He'd be proven wrong quite soon. A fist came into his AO, the small but strong blow forcing his chin to be raised up and his eyes to shut. It wasn't anything major, but darn! Tai was forced into a spinning state, as he flew backward and downwards, his small frame crashing into the ground beneath them. Luckily, no one was in his range and none were harmed. A small cloud appearing before he'd hop back to his feet and dash back up. Flying with profession before standing before his levitating foe.

"Man, you're stupid," Tai grinned, pointing tauntingly. A stinging pain in his face, but able to be ignored. His fists being pounded together multiple times, showing he meant business. "Well, now you know I can fly. Good job, freakshow. You should really cool down, y'know? Fighting heated isn't smart and can mess you up." Tai grinned, giving some friendly advice. The steam from prior rising off of his shoulders and casting a small cloud around him. Tightening his fists, the male darted forwards. Using his second option for Ki and manifesting it into water, itself! He could thank his mom for this ability, as he stopped short. A few inches from his opponent, Tai struck a martial artist's proper stance. His legs placed apart, left leg forward and right back. Left hand up and fingers closed with his thumb against his palm. His right fist by his waist. A calming breath taken in before the youngster shot his fist forward and sliced in a diagonal motion with his left hand. An orb of water shot forward and sliced in twine by a thin blade of aqua, his hand moving in a complex sequence of directions, a delay in place. A second needed for the blade of water to act and begin thrashing about, the speed and sharpness working in tandem and capable of cutting Spark.

Took the uppercut! Flew back up and attempted to use his Water element by creating a makeshift sword and sequence of slashes. There is a delay between the motion and the actual attack!
