"Ah!"
Jean-Luc charged at Sage and swung his right hand in a punch. Sage side stepped the attack, then ducked under the left hook that Jean-Luc followed up with. Sage stepped forward as he counter attacked with an upper cut, using his bent legs to push him up with more force, however Jean-Luc simply stepped back, then immidiatly moved in with a right straight kick, wich Sage pushed away with his left as he moved forward and swang an elbow to Jean-Lucs head. Jean-Luc ducked, but just as he did, Sage grabbed his head with his right hand, then slammed his knee against the bridge of Jean-Luc's nose getting a satisfying craking from the attack.
Jean-Luc stumbled back. The attack immidiatly brought tears to his eyes, NOT BECAUSE pain, OR fear, but from the fact that such an attack would immediatly cause tears to form in the eye's, causing blurry vision for a small amount of time. Small, but enough for Sage to gain some momentum.
Sage stepped in and swung his right in a strong hook into the side of Jean-Lucs jaw, then did the same with his left. Jean-Luc instinctively swung his right hand in a hook, shifting his body for a moment. Sage ducked under the attack and manuvered behind Jean-Luc.
Just then Jean-Luc's eyes cleared and he immediatly noticed his mistake, but he knew that it was to late. Sage slammed his right fist against Jean-Luc's right kidney, then did the same with his left fist. Jean-Luc arched to each side as Sage devestated his kidney's, then he felt as with even more force, Sage slammed his his right fist onto his lower spine, making him arch his back a great degree.
"Aaah...mphp!!"
Jean-Luc started, but stopped because just as soon as he arched his back Sage grabbed the back of his head and slammed it against a nearby tree with enough force to brake Jean-Luc's chin, jaw and various other facial structures. Sage grabbed Jean-Luc by his shoulder's and tossed him back. Jean-Luc went flying back and landed on the ground unceremoniously as the back of his head rebounded of the ground with a audible thud. Sage turned back towards Jean-Luc, his eyes still yurning for more of a fight as swett spread across his forhead.
"Don't tell that's it."
"No!"
Sage turned around to face the abrubt speach, only to find Gambit coming down towards him with a kick. Sage crossed his arms and blocked the attack, then began to dodge and block the quick and dangerous combinations of kicks that Gambit followed with quickness. Gambit then brought his right leg in a strong forward lunging kick. Sage grabbed his foot, and using Gambit's own momentum, dropped to the ground, causing him to go flying forwards and rolling into the muddy beayou.
Gambit instantly got up, covered in mud, and anger in his face, when Jean-Luc's voice stopped him.
"Remy! Stop!"
Remy instantly did as he was told, Sage just twirled around, astonished that Jean-Luc recovered so quickly. Jean-Luc looked at Sage again as he walked forward, clapping his hands.
"Bravo mesi ami! Bravo!"
Sage looked at Jean-Lucs battered face, with unbelievement.
"W...what??? How?"
Sage said with confusion. Jean-Luc only smiled. He keeped walking forward, and as he got closer his wounds began to dissapear, to the point that when he stood directly infront of Sage, it was as if they where never there.
"What? 'Dis? Don't you eva' unda' estmate' 'de leader o' de T'ieves guild, or fo' dat matter, 'de delivera' o' 'de Tide."
"The Tide?"
Sage questioned.
"Don't worry 'bout dat hommes. I seen as much as I need to. Here."
Jean-Luc said as he tossed Sage a paper.
"What the fuck is this?"
" 'Dat a map o' where to find 'de Assasin's mansion. It's deep in 'de beayou, an' 'dat place is worse than a maze. I suggest 'dat you go now, by 'de time 'dat you get 'dere, only a handful o' Assasin's 'll be there, 'de rest 'll be at 'de Tide ceremony."
Sage looked down at the paper, then up at Jean-Luc, wariness on his face. Sage turned around and left, knowing that Jean-Luc wasn't even trying in their fight, he was only toying with him, and to say the least Sage was upset, but left for the Assasins mansion any way, not knowing what else to do.
Gambit twisted his hair dry as he stepped out of the beayou and made his way towards Jean-Luc, his head hung in shame. Jean-Luc smiled warmly.
"Why 'de long face Remy?"
"I...I betray 'de T'ieves Guild...I betrayed you."
"What eva' gave you 'dat idea?"
Gambit looked up at Jean-Luc with a small amount of confusion.
"But I went behind your back, I disobeyed a direct orda'...non?"
"At 'de end, you only looked to help your brotha'. You risked your self fo' one o' your fellow T'ieves, and 'de way you went in to try to help me, even when you knew 'dat you probably lost face in my eyes, 'dat show's much 'bout your character Remy. Now, Remy, you gotta make a decision. You know 'dat your 'spose to deliva 'de Tide 'dis year. But 'dat boy Sage, he won' be able to rescue Bobby alone, so you eitha' go help him, or deliva 'de Tide, 'de choice is yours Remy."
