Figures this would all turn into something he didn't expect. After having to end things with Claire, and Max just leaving him, e didn't figure he'd want anything to do with a woman that lasted more than a night. But this fairy-turned-woman was something else entirely. She reminded him of the only girl he'd truly ever loved, and maybe that was going to be his downfall. Not that he couldn't see the qualities that made her very much an individual, those were many, but the similarities to Rachel also caught his attention. He could definitely distinguish between the two of them, Navi just happened to have a pretty powerful effect on him, because he was already planning on asking her out again.
"I'm sure you'll make the other fighter jealous. Seeing someone like you cheering for me." With another smile sent in her direction, he turned around and headed into the area that was best described as a locker room. It was there that he shed his normally clothing and changed into a pair of Tapout! shorts that ended a few inches above his knees. The normal fighting shorts that most American kickboxers would wear. Not an unusual sight at all. He was in Olympic caliber shape, Manticore was the one to thank for that, after all, they had given him perfect genetics. He warmed up for a few minutes before he knew that the time had come. He left the locker room area and headed straight outside and then entered the Octagon. He didn't have a bunch of coaches following him, but that wasn't a bother either.
He looked out and spotted Navi, he wanted to smile, but tried to keep a straight face for the moment. The referee, who also doubled for a ringer announcer, informed the crowd of who the two fighters were, and then took his place in the middle of the Octagon. When the ref gave the signal, Alec nodded his head, and the fight was on. He shot out from his side, assuming a classic Muay Thai stance, waiting for his opponent to strike. When the man came in, Alec allowed himself to get hit in the body and chin, and stumbled backwards as if he were hurt. That was far from the case, he quickly regained his balance and flashed the other man a wicked grin. It was his turn. Time for the fireworks. Alec grabbed his opponent and pulled him into the clinch before he started to slam his knee into the man's ribs, attacking each side, knowing that it would make his hands drop. Of course Alec was right, and when the other fighter dropped his hands, Alec shoved him away.
He could hear Navi cheering, it was amazing, being able to distinguish her voice from the crowd. While he wouldn't turn to look, he could almost picture her in his mind, jumping up and down, yelling for him to win. He'd hate to disappoint her. He planted his leg foot firmly on the Octagon mat, before he swung forward, lifting his right leg. It was good technique, carrying more than enough power. His foot connected with the other fighter's head, landing a punishing head kick, sending his opponent to the ground, unconscious before he'd ever landed. The referee jumped in and stopped the fight. It was only a moment later before his arm was raised. "Winner by first round Knock Out, Alec McDowell!" Of course Alec wasn't paying attention to the other people, he looked straight at Navi and smiled.
