Description: Lita and Gan do battle - though while Lita was more interested in the mission, Gan was more interested in the BEATING! Who comes out on top in this matchup!? It's a nailbiting conclusion!
There's a lot of reasons people don't want things found. Especially so if they are the ones who got rid of it.
Sometimes you need to look harder and that's enough. Sometimes you just need to put up a wall that they'll never get past. Other times you need to make it so the end of the rainbow contains a sizable school-kid that looks more like a giant than a boy and who is actually set to fight you in the tournament, and who happens to be a part of one of the LESS popular schools within Southtown.
That is the case for the vendor OCDP, whom has Gan in a way that he will honestly prevent anyone who happens to be his opponent from ENTERING the vendor without any assistance. How so? Well, he could sit down infront of the door and that would be it! It's not a stretch that this currently is happening in this case. There are members of the OCDP who have given up and went home early by opening a window and slipping out, but this is a very bad idea and usually ends with the boss eyeing them.
No one is bothered by those unable to get in though. There have been reports, too, that a few have tried playing flutes for him.
They no longer have those.
Still, as time goes on, Gan growls a bit - and not his stomach. "Where are they, anyways?" He notes, tossing a massive rice ball up and taking only half a bite out of it, catching it in his mouth. He does not swallow it whole. Instead he savors it, enjoying the massive mound of rice and meat that is within it.
He chews, mouth moving, and then again. Arms cross. Well, he wasn't planning on going ANYWHERE. She'll pay for making him wait, too! Imagine just much waiting he wouldn't have had to do!
But what happens when they're already inside?
Lita had decided she was going to take this off the books mission since when an opponent gets shot during one of her fights and when she has to interrupt one of her fights to pull people out of a building that's been scorched, she kinda takes that type of thing personally.
When they try to contact her, via the Rumble app, they had received out of service responses. With the way the building was set up. She wasn't getting any service and there was no way she was going to patch into their wifi and let them detect her. But they detected her going into the building. It was obvious what she was trying to do.
Lita fortunately had free run of the place. Most of the workers were janitorial staff and skeleton security crew. And while stealth wasn't exactly her specialty, she was reasonably decent at it so she avoided everyone she needed to until she reached the door of OCDP facilities. She feels the vibration of her cellphone going crazy.
She looks down and then sees her opponent waiting right at the doors for her.
"You could probably block the sun, big guy."
She then glances around as the crowd begins to gather around them and rolls her neck. "Sorry to keep you waiting. I wasn't getting any service in there."
If they are already inside then GAN SHALL NEVER LET THEM BE FREE.
Of course, to have the door opening outwards, Gan would look back at the poking and pordding coming from the barrel that is being pressed against. Where is the barrel? Around his chest, of course. That is where all barrels BELONG if they are on Gan. Looking back, his brow knits together as his eyes narrow slightly. "I'm not some kind of umbrella." Gan grunts back, getting up. "Gahahaha! I'm definitely not a push over like one, either!" This is added as Lita begins to roll her neck and make a laundry list of claims, starting at number one.
"Apologize all you want, I almost ran out of food. It was making me hungry, waiting that long." The Gedo giant exclaims as he gets to his feet. Heavy wooden sandals creaking under his weight and clattering as they strike the solid cement underneath him, stretching briefly from his moment of rest against the ground.
"So I'm not going to take any apology."
Thugs aren't exactly known for their manners! "You ain't going to get any service here, either!" Gan remarks as he raises one heavy leg and slams it into the ground, a slight shockwave capable of being felt just from his weight! "So are we gonna fight, or do I gotta wait for you to make a call or whatever?" An eyebrow raises before Gan whips one massive hand to the side, "Nah, I say we're getting started right now!"
Clearly he isn't fond of waiting!

Food? He decides he wants to be offended because he ran out of food? Ok. It's now Lita's turn to be offended.
"I watched my opponent get shot in one fight, I had to pull people out of a wrecked building my second fight and you're offended because you almost ran out of food... Not that you ran out of food... That you /almost/ ran out of food. Blimey... Your priorties are messed up."
She feels the shake but she's not intimidated by the mini quake from his weight.
As soon as he says that they're getting started, she's perfectly fine with it. While she was apologetic for cheap shotting Rust, she feels no shame for doing so to Gan. She swings a haymaker right for the barrel covering his stomach.

"Gyahahah! That stuff doesn't affect me." Gan remarks back to Lita, a grin upon his face as he looks down on her. And at her. Down, though, is where he believes her to be headed. With that grin plastered on his face, Gan shakes his head. "Yeah? Well, you and I lost a fight somewhere along the line and I figure that's why you lost yours. You seem kinda soft!"
Gan bellows out another laugh, hand patting his stomach as he leans backwards before leaning forth once more, massive body swaying under the weight. A haymaker is swung, Lita's fist coming forwards and swinging towards the barrel covered chest. It never makes it there. Gan isn't about to let her hit him without some sort of involvement, "Said I was DONE WAITING!" Gan gets out as he lashes his massive hands towards Lita, managing to grasp her form as the fist slams into the barrel. It does not happen without interference, Gan's size and reach slowing it down so it doesn't impact with the force it was supposed to. Especially as Gan suddenly applies force in reverse, hands grasping Lita up and towards him, forehead slamming into hers once. Then again!. After the third time Gan rears back and tosses Lita away from him.
"My priorities only involve me. Gyahaha! That's the way it'll stay, too!"
She gasps as she's grasped in the process of commiting herself to a cheap shot. She's held away from him while she her fist while mechanically sound just didn't have the depth she needed to have her punch to be felt. Then the headbutts come. The first one shakes her, the second one stuns her her a bit, the third one makes her ears ring and her vision go white for a few moments before she gains her senses which is about when she then gets tossed away like an unwanted doll.
"Well. That tells me what type of person you are."
She's willing to be vicious in this fight. She moves her hand towards her bandolier of kunai. With gritted teeth she sends it flying right for the teenager who's way bigger than most teenagers have the right to be.

"Yeah? Could have saved you some time!"
While not witty, it is a well known fact that Gedo Students are well versed in trash talk, if nothing else. Kunai are send spiralling towards Gan through the air, the blades whizzing through towards him. There are a multitude of options. One could involve retreating so that he would not have to take the damage. Another involves ensuring they don't hit square on.
There's a third. Gan's movements are clear. He was approaching Lita before the weapons were even raised, even thrown towards him. That doesn't seem to cause him to change his course, either. With heavy steps the massive teenager crashes across the pavement. The kunai slam into his arms and legs, digging in deep as he attempts to close the gap between him and Lita. Even as the Kunai cut, one managing to especially slice him, Gan isn't slowing down. Even through the pain that lights across his body. It may give him something to think about but Gan is notorious about not using his brain all that often.
Where Lita may be hanging back, Gan is already attempting to be atop of her, swinging back an arm as he lashes out towards Lita. The palm leads his strike, the heavy-set Gedo attempting to land a very decisive blow.

[ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ < > //////////////// ]
Gan 0/-------/=======|=====--\-------\0 Lita
Even as Gan is moving towards her she's reaching for the quick release latch on her sword scabbard. She stands at the ready waiting for the charging mass of humanity coming her way. She attempts to match brute strength with technique, overwhelming size with precision. It doesn't work for her.
Lita Luwanda lowers her shoulder as she attempts to side step and spin him around so she doesn't take palm strike head on. She's once again sent flying away in a heap.
She slowly works her way back up to her feet hissing in pain as she brings her sword back in front of her. She's trying to shake off the incredible blows she had received.
Technique can do some impressive things. Brute force, like Gan Isurugi represents, varies in strength, just like technique in skill. It is unlikely that Lita has had to facedown a giant like Gan before. At least a giant who still has the mind of a teenager. Rough around the edges, Gan is not purely malevolent. He just knows that if you step foot into a ring with him, there's no real remorse for what he'll do. He may even enjoy it as well.
"Gyahaha! Now that'd hurt!" Gan remarks as she steps to the side, palm wider than anticipated - and who could blame her? It is a rather massive sized palm. With Lita back on her feet in no time and with the sword out before her, Gan nods. "Yeah! You're still able to fight, right? I'm not done, either!"
With that he takes off once more, intent on throwing his weight around until it STOPS working. Arms going wide as he approaches, Gan lowers his body forwards as he charges towards Lita, wooden sandals striking hard the ground between the two of them. Cement of the road gives way to to the sidewalk, a bit different in make-up, but none of it is noted to Gan. Only as he approaches Lita nearby a pair of trees does he 'use' them.
A heavy arm slams out towards Lita, once more attempting to impact her midsection and stun her for all but a moment before the other, busy pulling back the tree, would meet to put Lita atop that tree and have it launch her back towards the middle of the road!
"I enjoy what I do, too. How about you? Why else would you be here, right?"
COMBATSYS: Lita dodges Gan's Combo Throw.

Gan 0/-------/=======|=====--\-------\0 Lita
As someone who is well versed in using environmental weapons, she sees him moving towards the tree and sees him reaching for her. Lita Luwanda is more than capable of doing the math. She does not want to be grabbed by Gan and launched into the middle of the street.
The Delta Red soldier goes into a dive roll. When she's back on her feet she whirls around holding the sword out between the massive teen and herself trying calm herself down.
"Why would you be interested? I thought your priorities were focused on you?"
She then steps forward putting every bit of technique and all the force she could muster into a single strike.

Gan 1/------=/=======|======-\-------\0 Lita
As the single strike swings, Gan attempts, in earnest, to raise a leg at it! To slam a knee, or foot, into Lita's mid-section so that it would just be over with. Unfortunately he pays for it pretty badly! With Lita out of the way, Gan's plan, to use what he was given, doesn't quite work out. Especially not as the blade slams into him as causes him to, finally, stagger backwards from the rather sizable damage of the assault. "Ghhh....! Gyahah! Trying to liven things up a little. Looks like you took care of that, though." Gan remarks, the blade having slammed into him hard enough to draw blood as well as to cause the 'belt' of barrel to clatter and splinter under the assault, even causing him to stagger and falter back, Gan skidding backwards, if only because he had prepared for the 'worst'. He sure got it!
"But it looks like you've got some fight left in you! That's good, so, lets see how long it keeps you going!"
Standing tall once more, Gan takes a heavy step forwards without slowing himself down, intent on staying close. It was definitely a hefty one!
It doesn't look like he'll let up, though!
Lita's eyes narrow with focus. She's realizing that if she treats Gan like the teenager that he is that the overwhelming strength that he can bring to bear will tear her apart.
With voice dripping with sarcasm she responds with,"I'm happy to entertain."
She then brings her sword back up into a guard position for a moment circling as the giant mass of humanity intends on staying near by. She then takes a quick swipe at his leg attempting to make it difficult for him to keep balanced before she performs a quick precision based tap right on his chin.
She doesn't seem particularly intent on letting up either.
COMBATSYS: Gan blocks Lita's Medium Strike.
[ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ < > ///////////////// ]
Gan 1/-----==/=======|======-\-------\0 Lita
Things like eyes narrowing, focus, and even 'purpose' in a fight are somewhat lost to Gan - the Gedo teenager that knows the finer things of battle are... well they are for those not him. So with Lita's sarcastic response Gan is actually rather pleased! "Gyahaha! Good! 'Cause the last thing I wanted was this to be boring." Even with his bloody stained front, it seems like that sword would need to be applied a couple of times more in order to find the desired results.
Not that Lita would probably be up for killing a teenager, what with her work to save others!
The guarded position from Lita, and her subsequent swipe at his leg and then chin, cause Gan to do something awkwards, for once. The Gedo Student does not charge into it. Nor does he immediately run face-first into it as if there was no other option! Both of these actions must mean /something/, but it may not be certain what! Could it be he is weakening? Slowly running himself out?!
With the strike lashing towards his leg, Gan is ready for it. The sting may be there but the impact is weathered with the thicker part of the leg in the thigh. His chin, however, takes it more directly. "I'm raring to go though. Let's see what you can do!"
Gan's arms lash out towards Lita once more, body twisting around to face her as they attempt to ensnare her and lift her upwards, spinning her once and then sending her skywards. It wouldn't be so bad if he wasn't enjoying it! While the Ooran is a pretty simple technique, the sheer force from his 'backthrow' and the added whiplash nature of it make it a bit more threatening!
COMBATSYS: Lita blocks Gan's Ooran.

Gan 1/----===/=======|=======\-------\0 Lita
She doesn't quite get away from the grasp of Gan's but at the very least, she can do a bit of damage control. As she's launched into the air, she focuses on the landing. She gets her feet under herself while she is still airborne and when her feet touch the ground she rolls with the momentum of the throw that while leaving bruises and scrapes, still leaves her better off than she would have been if she had not had any control over her landing.
Now that she's upright, she charges in with a bit of reckless abandon even if technique is still refined. She performs a trio of slashes directed towards his lead leg and his arms before shifting her weight onto her front leg.
COMBATSYS: Gan barely endures Lita's Triple Slash.
[ \\\\\\\\\\\\ < > ///////////// ]
Gan 1/-======/=======|=======\-------\1 Lita
With Lita focusing on landing, Gan's focused on charging. Unfortunately for him she leads with the blade, swinging it about, three slashes directed towards the legs beneath him. The strikes manage, slashing along the edges of the limb as Gan continues to put his weight on them. While he stumbles as he charges into it, it is with a gutteral noise that Gan does not back down. With pained effort he continues his charge, the blade lashing at his limbs over and over. The goal, however, was to keep going.
No matter how painful it actually is! Why, it is immensely so. If Gan was to stop though... if Gan was to stop, then this would be a very different battle!
He can't let it be that way.
"Down to the wire? Gyahaha! SURE THING!"
With the rest of his effort, Gan still seems to be 'enjoying it', though he clearly isn't enjoying the brutal beating that he was dishing out, just a few moments ago! "Get over here!" Gan decrees, hands once more lashing out to grasp Lita and hold her in place while his head would do the talking - intending to meet Lita head to head a few couple more times!
COMBATSYS: Lita dodges Gan's Gedo Headslam.

Gan 1/--=====/=======|=======\-------\1 Lita
Lita already was the recipient of head trauma by way of headbutts, earlier in the fight. She'd rather not receive more of the same right now. As those large, meaty hands, reached out to touch, grab, and pull her into position to be headbutted, she goes into a slide that would be at home on the baseball diamond right between legs.
She quickly gets up and hops away from him to gain some a bit of distance and latching her sword back onto her back and then both hands reach towards her bandoliers and then throws a massive amount of kunai at the massive fighter.
COMBATSYS: Gan endures Lita's Steel Barrage.
[ \\\\\\ < > ///////////// ]
Gan 2/<<<<<<</<<<<<<<|=------\-------\0 Lita
Lita is quite the spry young fighter, she is! After the showing that she had with Gan, why, it looked like things were going to go, and stay, one way! One exact way! It seemed that it was unlikely to go such a way anylonger, especially with Lita sliding underneath Gan's hands /once more/. With a definite look of distaste, Gan's eyes rest solely upon Lita.
There's a single step. Like all things, one single step is just the beginning of so much more. It's hard for Gan to change the fight in an appreciable matter by staying away from Lita. With that, Gan begins his movement. The second step comes after. Wooden sandals, one after another, hit the ground. It turns from a slow walk to a jog, to a faster pace as Gan begins to close the distance between Lita and himself. The street gets a new color from his wounds. It's not terrible but Gan would need medical attention afterwards. Kunai following kunai join the obstacles between Gan and Lita.
It is, again, not something that Gan stops for. "Gha....." The first few impact in him, slowing his steps a little. Then more embed themselves into the gedo giant. His steps never move slower but they do not speed up, either. Not until the final few hit. "Gonna need... ONE MORE...!" He exclaims, as his form, riddled with kunai, breaks through the firing line.
With Lita, perhaps, right before him.
In what may his last effort, Gan lunges out to grasp for Lita, to slide his hand about a leg and pull her upwards. With the remaining bit of his strength Gan would whip her this way ant that in the air, slamming her against the ground while laughing through it all. Finally he would take her by both hands and send her spiralling away, tossing her towards the end of the street nearby away from him.
COMBATSYS: Gan successfully hits Lita with Funkazan.

This is one of the reasons that her superiors wanted to send her out into the leagues and tournaments. To give her situations and fight people that she wouldn't find on base when she was training recruits. She could take this experience and then use it to improve the training that she can give them. Most of them won't encounter someone like Gan rushing at them like a freight train but it would improve the way she trains them in dealing with people with a significant size difference.
She knows she can't stop Gan from coming to grab her she can just make it as painful as possible and she does so but when Gan finally closes with her, she gets grabbed and slammed and she braces herself for the pain. She grits her teeth, covers her and grunts as the agonizing slam session takes place before it mercifully comes to an end as she flung like a rag doll away from the massive human being.
She slowly rises to her feet groaning in pain and she wants this fight to end.
She then steps forward slamming an elbow into his chest before whipping it upward into an elbow upper cut to the chin.

Gan 0/-------/---====|======-\-------\0 Lita
The train is almost off the tracks. Every motion burns, every movement he can feel. Groggy is the best description as he sways, nearly falling with every step and every moment that passes. To say a stiff breeze could take him out would be incorrect still. A mountain does not fall because of the wind but the water that pours down upon it.
Not that Gan knows any of that mind over matter stuff. He knows he'd look weak if he just fell over, even if it hurts! "Gyahah... looks like..." Huff, "Looks like it's the next one out..." Drained of energy, Gan can barely stand. Blood trickles down the splintered barrel and stains the green clothing, especially for the arm with the sleeve. The arm without prevents future laundry.
"Been quite a fight.... anyways...." And then Lita steps forwards, slamming an elbow up towards him, aiming for the chest and chin. As the strike to the body seems to make purchase Gan feels a numbness below, swinging as well, bringing his entire body forwards to meet her strike. As if the mountain moved towards the one who would strike it! The force of her strikes meeting his own body in a short and brutal charge, not even lowering an elbow so much as throwing himself at her own strike.
A few steps after, Gan seems to tilt over, about to collapse once more. He catches himself, body barely staying upright. "Gyaha... didn't even... feel it!" He brags. It may be because he's numb - or perhaps he just won't say how much he is hurting right now.
Or he could be a dinosaur and the pain is still traveling up his nervous system.
Lita watches as the massive teenager just throws himself into her attacks. Her eyes bulge open. When others do something like that, it usually means they're going to get hurt even more. When Gan in particular does it, it just means she's going to be thrown aside with no chance of slowing him down.
Much like the previous times she was hit by Gan, her body goes flying in an uncontrolled spin before hitting the ground
She slowly rises to her feet. She takes step after step slowly making her way back to within striking range and delivers a simplistic palm strike to her chest.
She's too battered to manage anything beyond. She realizes that she's at the end of the road of this tournament but it might be a blessing in disguise. It gives her freedom to freely investigate things without having to worry about the Rumble app as much.
"I hope someone had spat in your food."
Of course it doesn't stop her from being spiteful about his total disregard for the life of others all for the sake of food. Her body gives out completely and she crawls away and leans against a nearby wall.

In some sort of Juggernaut like actions, Gan can't stop his movement or else... well, else he'll topple over like a sack of rocks! Very heavy, teenage shaped rocks. With Lita being thrown in an uncontrolled spin from Gan's body-rush, Gan's heavy breathing comes out raggedly, his endurance wearing out as he manages to focus on just standing and staying up. With slow step after slow step, Gan watches as Lita aims to strike him once more - a heavy palm, simple but direct. Gan takes another heavy breath and resigns himself.
Just as before, the Gedo giant moves into the assault, body throwing it lightly aside instead of throwing Lita far away, aiming only to misdirect her assault as she crawls away shortly after, unable to stand. Well, it seems reasonable. Gan has proven once more than none can stand against him! Not even himself! His legs begin to give-way from the absolute pain that Lita has inflicted upon him. With Lita crawling away to lean against the wall, Gan grasps his own legs - holding them forecfully in place.
"Call it. How long do I gotta stand here?" Gan bellows out, massive hands holding himself up. It's unlikely without rest he'll be able to stand back up, but if he falls it's a draw, isn't it?! "YO! Call it or else I'll come over th-" The phone he has rings, Gan sliding it out from behind his ear (he's large enough) before looking. Yup. It's an official 'call'.
"Gyahahah-hck!" He coughs once and then teeters, catching himself just barely.
Kneeling over, Gan glances to Lita. "Gyahaha... Last guy who tried that ate some of his teeth." He remarks, but keels over. It hurt to stand.... less so to sit, but still quite pained!
COMBATSYS: Gan has ended the fight here.
