After branching off from U&M before it became MultiCity, I found an RP-group of chats in FK(FrenchKiss).
Fighting wasn't as popular there as it was until some time after I showed up, so the speed-fighters there were not fast by any means. However, there was one particular person who went by MajinBuu, and I was not very fast at the time being.
This particular individual and his small group of lackies made it his/their personal goal to, essentially, terrorize the other players in this chat. I remember challenging him to stand up for others there on several occasions, only to get my character beaten down repeatedly.
I had met a girl there, who I soon after had the pleasure of dating (in real life as well) for a little over two years. As soon as MajinBuu had started messing with her it became personal. As sad as it sounds, I started practicing my form with T2 until eventually I felt comfortable enough to face him.
At the younger age I was, fights with that much past-intimidation behind it really kicked in that adrenaline and I remember having trouble typing because I was shaking, but I managed to calm my way through it and beat him. Eventually, I was able to be on enough and stand up to him and his friends enough to where they all left the chat after a time.
This was a historical battle, at least for me, because it was a turning point on where I was able to stand up in-chat for what I believed in and start taking matters such as these into my own hands.
In the FK set of chat's, it was probably the largest battle that took place there, simply because there was not much fighting that went on there. Afterwards, I was able to recruit a handful of them into my RoyalMoonKnight's where we later fought other battles.
If it weren't for the fight with MajinBuu, those who decided to help out my causes later on would probably not have ever taken an interest in roleplay fighting at all.

You said earlier that U&M was your home chat. If that's so, then there's no way you could've missed me. I fought the very last battle U&M had against the Yakuza, and I fought it virtually all by myself with very little help.
Titus invaded U&M with a small fraction of the Yakuza, heh. By small, I mean like 8-10 people. If the fighters nowadays only knew the size of the Yakuza, I mean, well, you know because you were there, but, other people on this website just don't have a clue what those days were like.
But anyway, yeah, I showed up from the COD by order of Queen Thalia, who was a friend (and possible relative) of Princess Usagi, and I believe I showed up with only a couple of trained fighters from the COD, which most likely at that time would've been the Mavericks, but they didn't fight, they just stood by and watched, and I think that intimidated the Yakuza more than anything, because I went up against all of them and pretty much dominated. They saw what only one fighter from the COD could do, so they probably were intimidated by the presence of the Mavericks in U&M, because that meant that there were even more of us that they had to deal with if they happened to kill me.
But no, we skirmished for a little while and things got ugly, and U&M's forces teamed up with the COD's forces, and there was a very ugly battle at that point, which eventually ended with me killing Titus in front of his own men. I remember everyone actually stopping the chaotic chat battle just so that the 2 of us could get down in a 1-vs-1 for victory. In the beginning, Titus really threw me around like a ragdoll, but then I started to use joint locks and grabbing techniques, which of course are harder to deal with than normal striking attacks, and I slowly just sort of broke every bone that he tried to attack with, until eventually he was left disabled with no weapons. His team tried to jump me, but you guys really did a good job at holding them back while I killed him. After that, I never saw the Yakuza in U&M ever again.
Later that same week, and actually it was only like a few days later after that, the Yakuza invaded the COD and left our chat with similar results, only during that battle I had help from the COD's best fighters, including the leader of the Mavericks himself, and the COD's head knight, so that was 2 major battles where the Yakuza lost badly all in the same week, and the COD experienced a similar result because the Yakuza never returned after that. Instead, they decided to go and invade weaker chats, and from that point on, it was the Yakuza who had to defend themselves from our clans. Not only did they have the Mavericks against them, but like you said, they also had the Moon Knights, the Dragoon Knights, the Thirteen Vikings, the Zion Knights, everybody teamed up against the Yakuza, and their little sister clan, the Triads, so I mean, that was just a badass war, period. I don't think there was ever a war like that in RP history before the Yakuza came along, and honestly, I don't think there's ever been a RP war like that, since then, even to this day.
When people on HoRP hear my claim at having over 1000 wins and 0 losses, they're like "yeah right" all sarcastically, but they don't know what I know, what you know, and what other people know, that those #'s really aren't that big, and my record really isn't all that great, I was just one of the luckier ones who managed to survive for a very long time. But I know somewhere out there are veteran RP fighters from that time period who have way more experience than I do, people who remember the epic bloody, often chaotic clan wars that spread throughout the entire internet. I guarantee you most, if not 3/4ths of my 1000 victories took place between the year 1998 and 2001, and especially during the legendary 'War of 2000' when speed fighting was literally in its prime. The Yakuza was one of the biggest, baddest clans who ever showed up on the scene. There were literally hundreds of members in the Yakuza, and again, that was only one of several hundred clans who frequented the RP chats at that time. So you're talking about mass genocide, on a very large scale when everyone was fighting, I mean, hundreds of fighters lost their lives every single day in those chats. That was not a far fetched # back then, so it's kind of funny that people seem to be rather skeptical of me nowadays, because the #'s I'm giving are real, the people I'm refering to are real, the clans are real, the history is real, these things really did take place, and now I have you guys to back that up.

I was looking over your message about COD and Princess Usagi; I remember that during that time I "served under" Princess Usagi, and her and I had talked on the phone and stuff too, we were really good friends.
It took a lot of coaxing for her to be willing to get in touch with Queen Thalia, perhaps an hour or two of me trying to get her to. After that day where we collectively defeated the Yakuza, her pride in that chat room was damaged badly and she left the chat. Shortly thereafter she left RP all together and went on to better things in real life. Was a sad friend to see go. Princess Usagi and I were some of the best friends for several years.
I remember the fight in which you defeated Titus, but he wasn't the actual leader of Yakuza. He was their lead-member of ¥ or "Yag", the elite group of the Yakuza that I had served under for some time before these events took place.
That day was rough for me, as well. I remember having my moon knights versus the members of that chat, without permission to bring in allies from Princess Usagi. At times most of my members were dead and I was fighting 3-on-1, 4-on-1 battles against Yakuza members, all the while struggling to revive fallen comrades in-between strikes.
Eventually they backed off for a little while, and that was long enough for me to convince Princess Usagi to call for the aid of all of your fore-mentioned allies to the moon knights.
I completely agree with you though in the sense that there has never been and never was a battle or war that even rivaled or came close to the gravity that the Yakuza-time frame and the battles that ensued then.
That time frame was what got me known for being able to fight as well as I did, even though fighting was not my nature; Rias could tell you that. In one of his posts about me prior to me finding this place he had mentioned how I always took in everything and always had a good understanding of all of my surroundings; that was true only because fighting was a last resort, so I'd have already spent time in the chatroom or with the people there to know what was going on beforehand.
Even after this time period, with all the challenges that came my way from some newcomer trying to prove themselves I often turned it down and for years in many chats after that was referred to as being old and couldn't "keep up my speed", or being a coward; however this was not the case. I was more interested in avoiding needless violence and has been my nature even in real life, not just in the roleplaying world.
