Gajeel stood with his head tilted to the side, his mouth open, tongue hanging out like a lizards as he laughed looking at the man lying on the ground. Sat on his shoulder he felt his ever faithful companion, Metallicana. He climbed around Gajeels body up onto his head while watching what had transpired. With his mental link to Gajeel, they spoke to each other.
How disrespectful? This irritating being thought he could boss around Hakai's personal student like a rag sack up and down and doesn't expect retaliation from the master. He must have been under a spell or alcohol for him to speak rashly towards Cloud Officials.
Gajeel listened but didn't pay attention, he didn't care what they said, he had his eyes on the one trying to escape. What a coward, running away when the fun was beginning. Hiding behind the meat head. Gajeel decided to have his little fun. He slammed his staff on the ground as Darui went to leave to cause shackles made of steel to shoot up and bind his arms and legs to hold him in place.
Gajeel watched as the big strong looking guy came rushing towards him. His plans had worked, he had no interest in kids, he wanted to provoke the big guy into a fight, and the best way to do that was go after the kid. It seemed to work by him coming charging at him, aiming to strike him with the uppercut. As he swung upwards, gajeel twisted his body to his left, dropping down into a crouch with his right leg extended, sweeping it around to his right to hook the back of your legs from under you. It's not aimed to over power you, just knock your balance and cause you to fall backwards. As he did this, he launched himself past you heading for Darui going around in an arc, going around you out of your reach, all the while his companion would watch you.
As Hakai swung in for the uppercut, the boy seemingly evaded by twisting to his left allowing Hakai's lightning garnished fist to soar upwards into the air aimlessly. Hakai kept up the kid's counter assault as he dropped down to sweep Hakai off his feet but the boy was too slow this giving Hakai more than enough time to react and assault within the same time frame. As the extended leg closes in to sweep, Hakai would time his little jump to lift himself up into the air for a few inches and drop down by the time gajeel's leg would be directly under Hakai's feet causing him to land effectively on the leg with enough force and weight to snap the bone. Once Hakai had landed on the leg, He would kick the kid in the face with the front of his feet (the toe area) and deliver another hind step kick to the side of his face (his temple). As soon as this completes, Hakai would perform a back flip to get a few meters backwards and reset.
Things didn't work out as planned for the Sandaime. He had intended for the kid's limb to be snapped after its little meeting with Hakai's foot but the kid turned out to be a little tricky as he quickly made a swift transformation of the appendage within mere seconds allowing Hakai to stomp down on rock hard steel which results in him falling down backwards while Gajeel bolted towards the little Darui once more. Hakai would take little to no damage from the encounter since it didn't have enough gut to affect 'the tank body' but still Hakai fell victim to the physical impact. As Hakai fell he would more or less instantly stand up to his feet again while being forced to turn his body to face the already running Gajeel with his (gajeel's) back turned at him. This was a perfect opportunity, one Hakai would utilize greatly as he instinctively covered up his whole body in pure lightning that stimulates his nerves giving him a little boost to both his speed and strength.
Gajeel dashed forwards having tripped up the man behind him, now going for the ultimate taunt, the best way to pull out the full power of an opponent from the start was to anger them, give them a reason to be driven to the max. Before Gajeel had tried just throwing powerful attacks at someone but then they would find ways to dodge and stuff until he got tired, but now, he just pushed peoples buttons until they came looking for the fight. As he dashed forwards he heard the man hop onto his feet but, he wasn't watching him. He didn't need to though. His companion on his shoulder was watching for him, Metallicana, as the lizard saw your lightning being released around your body, using his mental link with Gajeel he told him "Look out" in an instant, causing Gajeel to turn his body around to his right, trying to spin around to face you, but as he did, he used his newly created defensive technique. As he spun his body around to the right he would release steel chakra from his body in the process, so as his right shoulder came around it would stream steel chakra behind it, which takes the form of a piece of steel the same shape as Gajeel's body. This would block your elbow strike, leaving a dent in it but not quite hit Gajeel.
This man had skill and an highly formidable skill set to be able to reduce the damage taken from the Sandaime's attack even though Hakai wasn't sure if the kid could follow his movements or was just using his head to predict the line of assaults. Eitherways, there was only one way to find out which happens to be full head-on attack with no restrictions and personal hindrances as far as modesty is concerned. It was a refreshing sight to see one's foe retreat and try and regain composure but Hakai wasn't ready for that, he knew if he allows this kid to settle his mind down, defeating him in time would be a little bit difficult. So, as Gajeel retreats backwards into short range (5m as stated), Hakai would seemingly disappear from his previous location and reappear a few inches beside the kid with his right hand already stretched upwards as he brings it down while maintaining the momentum from his quick blitz striking the kid's neck with a backhand chop which upon connecting with the predesignated location, snaps the bones of the neck area leading the kid to die in mere seconds. The shock coupled with the speed of the strike would be more than enough to take the kid out, permanently.
