Sub-Zero stared down his opponent, ready to assault at the first sign of aggression, but Jay just stood there before reiterating, "I'm willing to talk." Sub-Zero narrowed his eyes before pushing a blast of ice at the man's feet. The ice warrior was ready for this battle, and when Johnny stepped in front of him, trying to plead for Sub-Zero to calm down the ice ninja would just glare, "Get out of the way, or I'll move you." Johnny was stubborn, refusing to move out of the way. Sub-Zero relaxed before placing his right hand on Johnny's shoulder. Johnny grinned, and didn't realize what happened until it was too late. The pressure Sub-zero put on the sunglasses sporting man's shoulder cause him to pass out.
Jay just watched as Sub-Zero moved Johnny close to the edge before picking up where he left off. Attack stance at the ready, blue ninja would stare down Jay before his opponent huffed, then asked, "What is this to you? What would my death accomplish for you? I'm nobody, I haven't even been in this world two days and already I'm marked for death."
A long, slow breath of cold air escaped cold lips before Sub-Zero shook his head, "It is the will of the Grandmaster. This is how the Lin Kuei have survived for so long. We are assassins, after all." The next words from the man opposite to him didn't surprise the Lin Kuei warrior, "Was it this Grandmasters will to have Scorpions entire clan slaughtered? Or was that just something personal?" There. Jay had no malice in his words. This annoyed Sub-Zero, for some reason. But then again, he was also done talking.
Sub-Zero knew good and damn well he had never slaughtered the Shirai Ryu, but seeing as he was about to kill the blond it mattered very little what was said. He just evenly placed one foot forward before sprinting towards Jay, ice forming itself between his fingers before he sent two ice blasts towards the silent male. Right as Sub-Zero fired his ice blasts Jay leapt into the air, doing a front flip before landing where Sub-Zero just sprinted away from, effectively making the ice blasts pointless. Jay let his jacket fall off his shoulders before catching the sleeves and wrapping them around his waist. Once sufficiently tightened, attention was returned to Sub-Zero who had now formed a kori blade and was dashing towards Jay again, only this time Suvb-Zero found it better to leap in the air.
Jay moved off to the side, dodging the downward swing, before feeling a slice through the left part of his arm. He didn't realize Sub-Zero was that fast, but the wound itself would heal, and it wasn't bleeding that much. Frowning, Jay didn't want to get any blood on his new jacket, but now it seemed it would be a moot point. Jay would continue to dodge Sub-Zero's attacks for several minutes actually, though he would end up with quite a few cuts. Sub-Zero seemed to be slowing down however.
Finally the ice ninja narrowed his eyes, before shifting himself into a defensive stance. He needed to gain the upper hand here, and so far it looked like he hadn't managed to do anything but give the blond a few scars. Sub-Zero then notice a rather important detail. The first few slices he had landed on Jay were healed. Even the scarring that should come with them was gone. This gave Sub-Zero a brief pause, before resuming his somewhat futile attack. However, what he did did not earn respite from the blond male. It was beginning to annoy aggressive blue warrior till he finally stopped. Jay was sweating, but looked no worse for the wear while the Lin Kuei spent his entire time focusing on attacking. He'd then shout at Jay, "Why do you not attack? Are you scared?" His opponent simply shook his head, though said nothing. Sub-Zero narrowed his eyes before realizing something about the way the blond rival was standing, in an almost relaxed posture. Said rival then gave a bored, almost stifled yawn before Sub-Zero shouted, "FIGHT ME COWARD!"
Jay just made a shooing motion before saying, "Just do me a favor and jump off the roof, okay? You came up here and started this."
Sub-Zero silently fumed then, thoughts shifting from attack pattern to attack pattern before settling on hand to hand. Jay had dodged the slices pretty well, but hand to hand was something different, right. He'd then let the kori blade in hand turn back to water and splatter on top of the roof before reaching back then pulled on his combat gloves. These gloves, however, were special and glinted in the sunlight. Jays eyes narrowed before he took a step back. Sub-Zero smiled behind his mask before dashing towards Jay once more sending blow after blow, punch after punch towards the man. Again, though, he did nothing but dodge.
Eventually, Jay had enough as he raised his hand and caught one of Sub-Zeros punches. This action lasted less than thirty seconds, and in between that time Jay caught the punch before growling at Sub-Zero, "Leave me a-" That's when Sub-Zero noticed the fist that was holding his in place beginning to shake. Jay's fist then started smoking, before he pulled it back with a yelp of surprise. Of course this was followed by "Holy shit that fucking hurts!" and then "Goddamnit!" and a few more strings of continuous curses. Sub-Zero stared down at his gloves, wondering if it was the glinting silver that was suddenly giving him an advantage. His eyes squinted on his target, since if it was then this match was about to be over.
The blue warrior then threw a few more punches, catching Jay by surprise and landing two right-hooks to his face, then a left uppercut to the man's jaw. Jay stumbled back before falling on his ass, which Sub-Zero took the initiative to lunge at but Jay caught a lucky break, leaning back and catching Sub-Zero on his feet before flinging the rival male backwards. He then stood back up before rolling his shoulders. Sub-Zero was already back on his feet, but instead of having to run at Jay Jay was running for Sub-Zero. Jay himself started off with a roundhouse which Sub-Zero dodged, before himself dodging a few punches aimed at his face. Jay knocked Sub-Zero's hands away into the air, causing the ice ninja to lose balance and took the opportune moment to punch the very part of the roof Sub-Zero was standing on.
Too many things happened in such a short succession Sub-Zero couldn't recount them all. He remembered seeing a flash of yellow or gold, the world around him spinning, then everything fading to black somewhere between the dizziness and the actual landing.
