"Glad you made it somewhat in time Joe" Alastor sets his purple Blade Master helmet on completing his armour and readjusts the helmet as Joe enters the large training room.
"Whatcha wearing all that get up for?"
Alastor summons his blade to his right hand
"You didn't think this was just a vacation did you Joe? I want to see how much you've improved and what better way in a no-hold-back Henshin battle"
"Well I would except someone borrowed my V-watch" Joe glares at Alastor.
Alastor pats his pockets and pulls out Joe's V-watch.
"Catch!" he laughs as he tosses the watch to Joe.
"Ah yeah" Joe jumps excitedly into the air and holding V-watch up shouts "HENSHIN A GO GO BABY!"
His baggy clothes transform into his famous red power suit, with his snow white boots and gloves contrasting the bright red. The V-emblem flies into his forehead and his crimson helmet materialises out of nowhere, his pink scarf trails out of his helmet. Transformation complete Joe excitedly hops on the floor.
"So how do I win?"
"You says you are going to win?" laughs Alastor, he coughs clearing his throat "The rules are simple, even for you Joe-"
Joe pouts and his eyes narrow.
Alastor cracks his fingers as he speaks "-whoever can remove the other's helmet wins"
"Is that all? That's easy Baby, just don't cry when I beat you" Joe laughs assuming his battle pose.
"Ready Joe?" Alastor points his blade menacingly at Joe.
"Let's get it ON!" exclaims Joe
Alastor charges straight at Joe, it's clear he's taking this showdown very seriously, Joe leaps majestically out of the way, forcing Alastor to skid to avoid crashing into the wall.
"Haha you're worse that that rhino dude" Joe mocks.
Alastor spins around to face Joe and unleashes a electrified stinger attack at him. Joe hops backwards avoiding the blade aimed right at his face, but is forced to grab the blade to prevent it connecting with his head. He winces as the sharp blade digs into his hand cutting through the gloves and onto his palms. As the blood from his hands stains both his gloves and Alastor's blade, and aims a kick right at the demon's stomach. Alastor presses his blade harder and moves towards Joe, unfortunately Joe's kick misses it's intended target and he kicks the demon hard in the crotch.
Alastor drops the blade and takes a few steps backwards while grabbing his most delicate body part with both hands.
"Hey t-t-that's low" Alastor winces with tears in his eyes.
"You're the one that stated no-hold-back" Joe jokes as he clenches his fists attempting to stop the bleeding "What was I supposed to do to disarm you?"
"Kick me ANYWHERE BUT THERE IDIOT!"
"Dude...I am SO SORRY...I WAS aiming for your stomach"
Joe rubs his palms together generating a small fireball, now is the best time to attack while Alastor while he is distracted.
Joe charges at Alastor, his right fist engulfed in flames. Still wincing Alastor dodges Joe's fist, however hasn't avoided the attack fully as Joe lands the punch on Alastor's tail tip setting it on fire
"Do you smell burnin-" Alastor sniffs before seeing his tail on fire " MY TAIL!" Alastor screams while running high speed from Joe, before diving to the dusty floor and rolls extinguishing the flames with the dust.
"That's it! No more Mr. Nice Demon" Alastor exclaims while charging at Joe with his fists clenched.
Alastor punches Joe right in the visor, the impact so strong he dents the left side. Alastor unleashes a flurry of punches aimed right at Joe's head, aiming at the dent attempting the smash the helmet. Joe moves backwards weaving in and out of Alastor's fists as if dancing to some upbeat song. Alastor snarls "You little bast-"
"Now now, is that anyway to speak to me?" Joe laughs irritating Alastor as he gets more frustrated "I don't even need to use my powers with you anymore"
Joe reaches and grabs both of Alastor's fists in his hands, and pushes against him, the demon snarls in Joe's face.
"This whole time - you were just pretending to be an idiot"
"Not really yo" Joe laughs "you just assumed I wasn't doing any training back home"
Joe knees Alastor in the stomach winding the demon, as Alastor bends down to struggling to breathe, Joe elbows him in the spine knocking him to the ground. Joe kneels down and grabs a horn on Alastor's helmet forcing his head up and glares into his eyes.
"I will always be stronger than you and I will always beat you" Joe states "Now to finish this-"
As Joe begins to remove Alastor's helmet, he is unaware of the crackle in the air as a demon blade spins over his head, it stops and rushes straight towards him. Joe glances up briefly and rolls away narrowly avoid the sword which becomes lodged in his trailing cape. Alastor flaps his wings scattering dust and ascends into the air.
"Do you think I would have made it that easy for you?" Alastor mocks flying high and readjusts his helmet, he's still injured but refuses to give up.
Joe pulls the sword free from his cape and throws it straight at Alastor's head, the demon ducks to the side and the sword slices through his right wing membrane before continuing on and getting stuck in the ceiling. Alastor yelps falling to the floor landing hard on his left elbow.
"Daaam-" he screeches.
Joe hurtles towards the fallen demon with another flaming fist, Alastor struggles to his feet, but stumbles and instead rolls on the dusty floor narrowly escaping Joe's punch which hits the floor forcing a large amount of dust into the air covering both warriors in a light dusting. Alastor coughs as wipes his visor clearing his vision, he can hear Joe wheezing nearby. Hoisting himself up using his right arm he grips his left which is aching badly. He can't quite tell if it's broken as the adrenalin is numbing the pain, his wing however has no problem reminding him how painful it is as the dust lodges into the open wound stinging with every move. Alastor is too preoccupied with the pain that he hasn't noticed Joe who has now grabbed his tail and using all his strength, pulls Alastor back and swings him around releasing his grip only to throw him straight into the wall where his helmet horns get stuck. Alastor struggles trying to unstick his horns, but the tips are stuck fast. Slumped on the ground and realising the only way to leave this situation is to remove his helmet, Alastor sighs admitting defeat.
"Joe, it's well stuck...help?" Alastor sighs.
Joe moves closer very weary.
"This better not be another trick"
"I would dislodge myself if I could" Alastor pouts.
Joe grabs the demon's shoulder padding with his blood stained gloves pulls his head free from his dusty helmet.
"I win" Joe states removing his own helmet, dropping it in the floor. Wiping his brow, he is unaware of the bloody mark on his face as he gets fresh blood on his gloves "Oh, didn't realise you hit me that hard"
"Payback for setting my tail on fire" Alastor growls, his arm aches and he winces. Joe grabs Alastor's wounded arm, removes the demon's glove and feels up the bones. Alastor snarls at him
"Oh shut up, unless you want me to break it some more" Joe jeers. Begrudgingly Alastor stops and allows Joe to continue.
"Well nothing's broken that I can feel, but that does look like its gonna hurt for a while"
Joe removes his scarf and uses it the wrap Alastor's arm in an improvised sling.
"I hate pink" the demon states.
Joe pokes him in the arm "Get over it-"
Alastor glares at him.
"-come on-" Joe continues as he helps Alastor to his feet and helps him walk "-I'd better patch you up"
"I can look after myself" Alastor growls
"I know you can-" Joe states "-but Silvia is gonna kill me when she finds out about this"
"Come on Alastor...please!"
"Well it is your last few days and I'm in no condition to fight..." sighs Alastor, his arm still in Joe's scarf sling.
Alastor looks worn out and looks a sorry state after being patched up by Joe his tail and right wing are all bandaged up. Joe has bandages wrapped on his palms and a large plaster on his forehead where Alastor hit him.
"Yeah!" Joe grabs Alastor's good arm and drags him into the lounge and shoves him onto the sofa. Alastor pouts, he does not like being treated like a rag doll in his own home. Joe pulls a disc out from under his T-shirt, blows the dust off it and shoves it into the DVD player and starts fiddling with the buttons on Alastor's TV to find the right channel.
"Joe how EXACTLY do you keep a disc in your t-shirt?"
"I just do, Dude you never know when you'll get the chance to watch Captain Blue - ah got it!"
The opening credits for Captain Blue flashes onto the screen, Alastor sighs as Joe excitedly leaps onto the sofa and bounces around in excitement. Alastor is more worried about Joe breaking the sofa in his jittery excitement that he hasn't noticed how close they are on the small sofa, any closer and anyone would think they were a couple.
"Joe how many times have you seen this?"
"Not enough Dude, come on it's Captain Blue, you can't watch Captain Blue enough"
Alastor sighs, this must be the twentieth time he'd seen this movie, yet to Joe it's like the first time every time. Well at least he can get a nice nap in, Joe isn't going to notice, the flame haired idiot is still acting like an excited child at Christmas. Alastor picks up a cushion with his right arm, fluffs it up and making himself comfortable on the sofa closes his eyes and naps as Joe cheers on his move hero for the umpteenth time.
