[This gray, snowy day finds Ryuhou sitting out on his porch step, a note held in his hands. His eyes scan over the words several times as though he can't believe them.
Finally, he stands, crumpling the paper in his fist, stalking toward the edge of town. He doesn't seem to notice the cold as the wind whips his thin uniform jacket around him.]
I want to... hit something. That's more Kazuma's style, but now I understand why. I'm going to explode if I don't.

Re: [Action]
Sloppy. What the fuck's wrong with you?
[Action]
[Action]
[With no further ado, he charges toward Ryuhou and feints a punch to the face, but before the blow can land, shifts his weight and now is aiming a roundhouse kick at Ryuhou's head.]
[Action]
After another punch from Kazuma sends him flying into a tree, a crumpled paper falls out of his pocket, unnoticed...]
[Action]
Oi. You still alive over here?
[He spots the slip of paper, but doesn't pick it up. Yeah, he's curious, but it's none of his business, after all.] I think you dropped something.
[Action]
He wouldn't have wanted you to lose it like this. Pull yourself together.
[Straightening his back, he faces Kazuma again, seeming more calm.] Continue.
Re: [Action]
Uhh... no. Not 'til you get your shit together. If you decide to get serious, I'll be around. [Turns to go.]
[Action]
We're not done here.
Re: [Action]

Focus on the fight, the feel of your Alter, the movements you know. This is familiar, this is right... there's no room for anything else here.
Come on, Kazuma. Let's do this.
[Action]
[Alters]

For now, however, he shakes it off and rolls to his feet. Slamming his armored fist into the ground, he launches himself upward above the treeline. Jacknifing, he fires the first red spine on his back. Leading with his fist, he streaks downward through the air to say howdy to Zetsuei, Lost Ground style.]
[Action]
[Action]
[Action]
Just like our other fights...
[Recovering quickly, he sends Zetsuei's whips spiraling out, attempting to wrap around Kazuma's Altered arm.]
[Action]
Feh. Not this time. Not if I can help it.
[In an effort to do unto Zetsuei before Zetsuei can do unto him, he once more digs his heels in, throwing his weight backward as he attempts to use Zetsuei's ribbons to sling the Alter off into the trees.]
[Action]
What do you say we step this up, Kazuma?
[In a flash, he unwinds the whips, drawing them back to Zetsuei. Pulling his power around himself, he pushes the Alter to his second form, knowing he can't maintain it long, but hopefully long enough.]
[Action]
Your funeral.
[And what the hell, he somehow manages to do it--although it feels a little as if he's trying to control 500 horses with reins of sewing thread. Still, he's got it for now, and with any luck, that'll be long enough.
With no further discussion, he raises his right arm, firing a shell-bullet at Zetsuei before pushing off the ground. The propeller-thingy on his back spinning in a blur, he jets toward the Alter to follow up.]
[Action]
Before too long, though, the power limits of Luceti take hold, and Zetsuei begins to flicker and shatter.]
Not yet, not yet!
[He tries desperately to hold it together, but the Alter dissolves in a shower of sparks. Drained, he staggers to the side, barely keeping from falling as he leans against a lucky tree that wasn't destroyed in their fight.]
[Action]
Fortunately, before that happens, he sees that Ryuhou's lost his Alter, and with a great sense of relief--well masked, of course--he allows his own to dissipate as well.]
Is that it, then?
