Owner Pose
Rean Schwarzer Rean's already there when Majima shows up, deep in thought. He'd owed Majima a fight for a while, and he still hadn't practiced getting a grip on his power all that much because of time and all that.

He looks over at the construction boss, brows furrowed. Was it ok that he wasn't telling him the full reason why he decided to pick this fight now?

He sighs. It was Majima. It'd be like fighting Laura's father- he could take him. And even if it somehow ended in disaster, he'd probably just laugh it off or something. He'd be fine. He wouldn't reject him over it.

And well, he wanted him to go all out, right?

Rean takes a deep breath. Take it and make it your own. He focuses on 'that' part of himself, raising his sword over his head. Less destruction and hate and more just wanting to fight in general. Just fighting a friend for no reason other than to test one another. Would that be enough?

He lowers his sword with a shout, his body getting engulfed in a dark aura, not unlike Majima when he gets fired up...just darkness-y and negative. His hair's white and his eyes are red too. Definitely not turning into Godzilla or anything, though.

He settles into his usual fighting stance and nods to himself. He could do this.  "Prepare yourself, Majima!" Rean shouts, and he rushes in, aiming a horizontal slash at Majima's torso.
Majima Goro Majima enters the room. The room changes with him, Rean not having chosen anything in particular, it seems.
Around the two, the floor pushes upwards into an octogonal dais, chain fence slamming down around the two. The world unfolds unto an underground arena, with faux audience watching from the safety of their tables.
"Majimaaaaa Gorooooo! Versus... Schwarzer...Reaaaaaaaaan!" The announcer conveniently declares, as Majima practically dances his way up. "...Heheh. Alright, let's see what ya got, eh?" Majima makes a beckoning motion, and Rean...starts turnin' all kinds of colors. He certainly wasn't expecting that. "..Eh? Guess ya -are- takin' this seriously!" That horizontal slash is a little harder for him to dodge, and while his knife comes out, it's--not really built to block that sort of thing. The momentum of the swing still gets through, sending the Mad Dog of Shimano flying through the air. He lands on his feet, hopping out of the way just as a...bicycle falls from the ceiling? "Heh! They /did/ get that shit workin'! Awesome!" For now, though, he has to get himself a little more fired up. He's not Kiryu, he's not gonna just swing a goddamn bicycle to start a fight. Instead, he's quickly stepping from side to side, trying to get a bead on Rean's movements, until--an opening, he thinks. He dives in, looking to see if he can't dash past Rean /and/ cut the guy across the stomach at the same time.
Sarracenia      As the two men start their fight, they are joined by...Princess Sarracenia! She makes her way into the arena casually with one of her piranha plant footmen in tow, who is carrying a fancy chaise lounger of red and gold. He sets it down near the entrance and Sarracenia stretches out on it, then reaches into her purse and pulls out a red flag with 'GET MEAN, BEAN!' written on it in big white letters. "Go Rean!" she shouts loudly, then claps for him before waving the flag around.

     The battle seems like it is going well for Rean so far, and so the princess cheers all the more! "Good work, Rean! Keep it up!"
Rean Schwarzer Rean catches sight of Majima's knife, and moves to block it with his sword, stopping Majima from going past him. Rean does another horizontal slash, with a bit more force due to their close quarters.
Majima Goro Majima Goro ...was honestly expecting a little repartee. Something. Rean's..silence actually throws Majima off, the man caught offguard yet again by the heavy swipe. It still doesn't quite cut him open, but he's sent sprawling again, rolling up to his feet. "Alright. Alright. Gonna need the big guns here..." He draws his bat from--wherever it is he does that, his body flaring with a yellow flame. There's no point speedin' around this guy, it seems. So, instead, he takes that wooden bat of his, and swings with an overhead vertical strike!--

Except he's too far from Rean to hope to hit. Why would he both--oh, there we go, he's using it as a pole to flip over, in order to doublekick Rean with his steel-toed--

Wait, no, he's going the wrong direction for that. He turns back towards Rean's direction just as the bat comes back down once more. Hopefully, the additional momentum and disorienting movements avail him this time.
Sarracenia      "Rean! This is the shrine! Try to relax, okay?" Sarracenia calls out as Rean goes about the fight in an all business manner. Meanwhile her servant sets up a small table beside her lounger and pours some cola into a glass before slipping a straw in. The princess picks it up and sips daintily as she watches, still waving her Rean flag.
Rean Schwarzer Majima's mad shifting makes him hard to follow, alright. Rean moves to dodge the flip kick and instead gets hit in the shoulder with the bat. "Ow!" Rean shouts, actually saying something now.

"...Nice hit." Rean says. He then sheaths his sword and- is gone.

He's now /behind/ Majima, unsheathing his sword straight into a flurry of strikes faster than the eye can see.
Majima Goro Majima doesn't need to see the strikes. He can't see Rean. There's really literally only one thing that it can possibly be at that point. He pauses for one second....and then suddenly that yellow flame turns pink.
"Uweeeehehehaaaa!" He's on the ground..breakdancing. Seriously. He's maybe a foot off the ground at best, spinning around just underneath Rean's assault, and then hopefully, around and behind Rean.

Now it is Majima who is standing behind -you-, Rean.

And, with a disturbingly quick maneuver, he's unarmed, and he's trying to get one arm around Rean's neck, and the other on the side of his head. One pulls one way, one pulls the other way, and somehow this is not /nearly/ as lethal as you'd expect it to be.
HEAT ACTION: Essence of Choking
Rean Schwarzer And then Majima gets behind Rean and puts him in a chokehold. The aura around Rean flares deeper for a second...before fading, returning his appearance to normal. He's not quite done yet, though, as he flips his sword around to try and stab Majima with it to get him to let go.
Majima Goro That sword catches Majima hard. Y'know, right along the gut, leaving a sizable gash. He's only barely twisted his torso to keep it from going right through him. But he doesn't seem to care. Both hands are on Rean's shoulders now. "Nehehe. Not bad at all, eh?"
His eye's widening. His grin's open-mouthed, wide enough to suggest he'd just outright try to swallow Rean's head whole.

Those hands suddenly grip, and Majima's head rears back, before slamming down. It's incredibly risky, but when has anyone ever suggested Majima was risk-averse?
Rean Schwarzer Majima tries to freaking bite his head, and he feels the construction boss' teeth on his scalp. Rean reflexively pushes /up,/ trying to throw him off of his back, and probably busting some teeth.
Majima Goro Majima Goro manages to not lose teeth. It's pretty great.

Rean rears back, and Majima moves back with him. He can lean back eerily far, as it turns out. Almost ninety degrees backwards.

It's then that the knife flashes out again, and Majima almost slides around Rean, using his legs like a dancer uses a pole to slide around and hopefully, with some degree of finality to this conflict, drive that blade right into Rean's stomach. He's out of other options, really.

"..Nehehe. You're so -pathetic-, Rean."
Rean Schwarzer Majima's teeth are too hard to actually break, and then he just whirls around and stabs him in the gut. Rean coughs, spitting up blood, before finally just falling over.

The arena resets, and he's still lying on the floor.

He sighs. "Yeah, I guess I am." He then smiles, still staring up at the ceiling. "I got what I wanted out of this, at least. Turns out I can control it if I try...Just have to keep watching my sta..mina...zzzz.."

Did he just fall asleep?
Majima Goro Majima Goro steps back. He rotates one shoulder, then the other. There's a breath. "...Hooo. Nehehe. Ya ain't bad, honest. That took everythin' I had, and maybe more, eh?"

He's about to extend a hand to help Rean up, and...then he just sort of falls asleep. Majima honestly isn't sure what to make of that.

So instead, he just rubs the back of his head confusedly, looking around. There's..medical professionals here, right? Things are fine? He doesn't have to lift Rean physically out of the room, or something?
Sarracenia      Sarracenia is still cheering for Rean! ...right up until Majima tries to -eat Rean- and Rean decides to break Majima's teeth -with his head-. At that point, the princess is just staring at the combatants. Who even fights like that?! Her flag waving slows to a stop, and she is just watching with the most 'what did I just watch?' expression on her face.

     And then, poor Rean goes down! And Majima calls him pathetic! "Hey! Bean is not pathetic! He is amazing and kind and...okay a bit gullible and maybe somewhat of a pushover sometimes. But that is part of his charm!" Sarra hops up quickly and makes her way over. "...what happened?" she wonders aloud, then presses a green mushroom to Rean's head. It disappears in a puff of smoke and a green glow infuses Rean for a few moments.
Rean Schwarzer "Mmm....?" The green mushroom wakes him up a bit, and he looks up at Sarracenia. "Oh. Thanks, Your Highness. You were cheering me on, right?" He sits up, and then stands up. "...Yeah. You too. I guess I can't keep that going while being choked. Another thing to be careful with. But it's a start." Forward motion was better than no motion.
Majima Goro Majima Goro leans back. Just his upper half. His knees kinda bend. It looks weird, and the cackling doesn't hurt.
"Neheh! Ya were usin' me to test a new trick, eh? I kinda like it. Well, I can't be round for ya all the time, ya know. Come on down to Kamurocho sometime. I got some tigers ya might wanna meet. They can't choke ya, ya know?" He taps his head once or twice.
"..Arright, I gotta get a beer or somethin' in me. Shrine or no, ya know? ...eh, ya still too young to drink, right?"
Rean Schwarzer Rean shakes his head. "It's less a new trick and more an old trick I was too scared to use. But yeah, I kind of used you as a training dummy. Hope you don't mind."

"Uh...Yeah, I think you brought those up once. Dunno if I'll fight the, though..."

"Yeah, I still am. I can have some juice or something, though."
