Match of the Millennium

Description: Kazuki Kirigana and Hunter Grand duke it out in a restaurant.

[GRAND]
The Golden Angel Restaurant. Or whatever it is actually called. It doesn't really matter to the likes of "The Main Man" Hunter Grand. He is, by far, the most famous (at least in his own eyes) entrant into this tournament. His name alone has brought more attention and fans to this location to bask in his Utter Grandness. His millions (and millions) of Swallowers on Social Media have likely flown to this location to do exactly what they were born to do.

Believe In Grand.

As for His Royal Grandness, himself, he has paid for at least half of the restaurant to be reserved for himself and his Grandtourage. One by one, sexy woman after sexy woman, enters the establishment as if making room for The Grand One. When the red carpet is rolled out to allow for The Grand Entrance, "The Main Man" Hunter Grand steps softly onto the carpet and adjusts his Robe of Grandeur to the point that whatever light may be coming from above strikes the diamonds in his robe to set his body as much of aglow as humanly possible.

The Grand One takes a stride to the center of the restaurant, standing on the end of his red carpet and looks around at all that have gathered here to witness his incredible victory. He raises his arms out to his sides and smiles at big, regardless of the amount of attention that's on him at the moment.

"Ladies and Gentlemen. For your Golden Angel Viewing pleasure, presenting the End All, Be All of Sports and Fighting Entertainment... 'The Main Man' Hunter Grand!"

Did this fool just announce himself?

[KAZUKI]
Apparently, he did.

Kazuki Kirigana's entrance was somewhat more... subtle. The young man walks into the restaurant, looking more than a little self-conscious. The Golden Angel... costuming... thing... had opted for... well...

Kirigana is wearing a shimmering golden fundoshi. It leaves, well, not a lot for the imagination. The young man looks around, a frown clear on his face as he grips a sheathed katana in his left hand. The garb and the weapon are interesting, of course, but perhaps the big attention getters are the scars on Kazuki's torso. There are more than a few of them, some faded with time. Two, though, are impressive: one wraps vertically over his right shoulder going down to just above his stomach, while the second one runs horizontally around his left flank. It starts a couple of inched from his navel and goes around the side.

The young man looks at Hunter Grand for a moment, then scowls. "Can we /please/ just get this over with," the aikidoka asks in a tone of voice barely above a whisper.

[GRAND]
"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh." It's almost a whisper the way he extends that out. "The Grand One is speaking." Yup. Definitely a whisper.

Hunter Grand, in all of his Grandness, doesn't even look over in Kazuki's direction. In fact, the only thing he does for that moment is raise a finger up to quiet the invader of his attention down. He then extends his arms and cues a pair of his busty babes to skip over to him and undo his robe. They peel it off of him to reveal a shining and shimmering Grand Bod. Apparently, the Grand One has oiled himself up for this particular event.

He's dressed as though he's been prepared for this battle for ages. His usual Grand Attire is on, the trunks and the boots, all trimmed in gold and marked with his 'HG' emblem. The Grand One hasn't decided to wear anything Golden Angel... yet.

His ego hasn't been humbled enough to allow this.

As soon as those Grand Girls are out of his personal space, The Main Man /finally/ turns to Kazuki and gives him a bit of a sneer.

"Now. Now you can speak."

Almost immediately, though, Hunter Grand holds his hand up. "Nevermind. Nobody cares." The Grand One grins and looks over to his Grandtourage. "Fancy. Start the car. This won't take long." With that sending Fancy skipping out of the restaurant, Grand turns back to Kazuki and rushes him with the quickness, extending an arm to try and take his head clean off with a sudden and stiff-armed clothesline.

COMBATSYS: Kazuki instinctively blocks Grand's Fast Throw.

[KAZUKI]
Kazuki's attention is focused pretty clearly on Grand; the stunt is pretty obvious. He does not speak when invited to. The stunt of giving permission to speak and then immediately over the person is old hat for the Gedo freshmen.

The clothesline is less of a surprise than that.

Kirigana brings his right arm up to block the clothesline, twisting as he does so to deflect the force of the strike. He brings his arm down slowly.

"Maybe not as quick as you think," Kazuki says quietly, as his left hand snaps forward. The hilt of the katana turns out to not be a katana hilt. Similar shapes, but the hilt is clearly and simply wood.

And aimed at Grand's chin!

COMBATSYS: Kazuki successfully hits Grand with Syncopation.

[GRAND]
The Grand One is overstepping his own bounds because when that clothesline of his is blocked with such style and ease, Grand actually stumbles a little bit. He's not used to people being ready for his tricks.

"Ugh!" punctuates the sudden arrival of wooden hilt to the underside of his chin. It sends Grand backwards a few steps, giving himself a little bit of space. Of course, with both of his hands on his chin, there's the obvious fact that he's in pain. "You will not tarnish The Grand One's face. He won't allow it!"

Hunter Grand takes off in a run towards Kazuki and he leaps into the air, aiming both of his boots at Kazuki's face in an effort to springboard dropkick off his opponent's face and get even more distance... while also trying to sprinkle a little pain on this guy as well!

COMBATSYS: Kazuki fails to interrupt The Hunter Grand Experience from Grand with Impetuoso.

[KAZUKI]
Kazuki was already moving towards Grand, reaching for the hilt of the bokken, when Grand dropkicks him in the face.

Kirigana staggers back a couple of paces, trying to shake the cobwebs loose as he sights back in on Grand. He lets out a long sigh, calming himself as he does so. "He apparently refers to himself in the third person, as well," Kazuki remarks as he takes his stance again.

[GRAND]
The Grand One smirks as he stands back up from his facial dismount from Kazuki's face. He runs a hand through his hair as if playing up to the crowd that he's created with his Grandtourage. It's all about showing just how amazing that he really can be. Or really is. There's no question about it but The Grand One feels he must gain new Swallowers with each passing moment.

"His Royal Grandness can think of no other way to refer to his Perfection. Can you?"

His words are meant as a distraction as The Grand One rushes in towards Kazuki with some extra speed and aims a big boot towards Kazuki's face!

COMBATSYS: Kazuki dodges Grand's Light Kick.

[KAZUKI]
Letting out a long sigh, Kazuki shifts to one side to allow the kick to pass his face with room to spare. He had plenty of warning regarding the kick; Grand is... loud on many levels. And not even entertaining loud, just overblown in a lot of ways.

Kazuki slides to close the gap, drawing the bokken free from its sheath before bringing it up and then down on Grand's collarbone!

COMBATSYS: Kazuki successfully hits Grand with Fierce Punch.
# Disabling hit! #

Kazuki           0/-------/-======|=======\=------\1            Grand

[GRAND]
The Grand One is all about talking and being loud and making sure everyone in the room is paying attention to him. This is likely bad because he probably shouldn' be alerting his opponent to every single move he's about to try and do. He still hasn't learned that he's as readable as a nudie magazine.

All the articles.

When his kick misses, Hunter Grand hasn't even turned to try and make up for it. Instead, he's looking at his Grandtourage and only manages to catch sight of the bokken out of the corner of his eye when it's too late. The bokken strikes his clear across his collarbone and the Grand One hits the floor onto one knee. Pain is all over his features. "The Grand One can't believe you've realized how pitiful you are that you must resort to cheating and using... weapons!" Hunter Grand pushes himself back into a standing position and smirks. "Too scared to fight The Grandest of All Time like a man, huh? Understandable. I am, after all, Hunter Grand."

Hunter's movementstake him in the direction of Kazuki and a quick lunge sends him sailing towards him with the intent to wrap an arm around his neck and start with the choking of holding.

COMBATSYS: Grand successfully hits Kazuki with Choke Hold.

[KAZUKI]
Kazuki lunges forward, not bothering to play the game Hunter is playing. He moved too soon, getting caught in the sleeper hold. He snarls, trying to get some air into his lungs.

And opts to revert to training, letting go of the sword altogether to take the arm around his throat before snapping forward at the waist and pulling hard on the arm Grand's already offered him!

COMBATSYS: Grand blocks Kazuki's Quick Throw.

[GRAND]
The Grand One is trying to hold on as much as he can but there's power in the way that Kazuki pulls on his arm. Wrestling ability kicks in, though and he uses his leg to brace against it. Unfortunately, though, there's nowhere for him to go and that ends up with him getting his arm yanked on. Which hurts. Even for a moment.

Enough pain to make Grand let go, he backs off just a quick step and aims a quick dropkick at the side of Kazuki's leg, hoping to take him down low enough for Hunter Grand to run up and plant a foot on the back of his head and smash his face into the floor!

COMBATSYS: Kazuki blocks Grand's Grand Stand.

Kazuki           0/-------/-======|=======\==-----\1            Grand

[KAZUKI]
Kazuki's response is... half of what Grand wants. The first kick lands, and Kazuki drops. However, he rolls away from the impact, causing the second kick to miss completely. The aikidoka rolls to his feet, and spns quickly.

He brings his right hand hand, palm open and facing Grand before thrusting that hand towards his opponent. Kazuki lets out a sharp kiai, the hand taking on a slightly green glow.

The gale force wind that launches from that hand has similar green tinges to it. And it's coming right for Grand!

COMBATSYS: Grand dodges Kazuki's Fugue.

[GRAND]
The Grand One recovers from his inability to actually complete his stylish assault. Maybe he tries to make these moves look too pretty. But, well, that's just The Grand Way. He's so pretty and so smooth and so Grand that he never even thinks about just straight up hitting someone. He has to showboat. He has to add theatrics.

Not when people are shooting green air at him, though. Grand's eyes spot the open palm and he can see that glow. Immediately, Grand drops and scrambles, practically crawling and rolling underneath the wind-assault. He's up and scrambling to get behind Kazuki, reaching to spin him around to face him.

His next move is quick as he hops into the air, twists and aims to grab Kazuki by the head while dropping down to the ground to slam his face into his shoulder during his descent.

COMBATSYS: Kazuki fails to counter Delusions of Grandeur from Grand with Cambiare.

Kazuki           0/-------/-======|-------\-------\0            Grand

[KAZUKI]
Kazuki has a hard time following Grand's movements. His eyes are telling him one thing, his ears another. He tries to reach for where he thinks Grand will be... and he gets grabbed. His chin meets the floor with an audible clacking of teeth.

Kirigana rolls to one side, getting slowly to his feet. There is a steady frown on the young man's face as he regards the wrestler, but a slight wobble in his bearing. He wasn't quite ready for that.

[GRAND]
Hunter Grand is still trying to be as quick as he can. He rolls away from Kazuki and gets up to his feet, stumbling into his Grandtourage and then pushing away from them as he tries to get his bearings. He's been moving too fast.

Still, though, he spots Kazuki standing there as a target and takes off in a quick run for him. There's only a moment before he raises his hand up and slams his fist at his face. It's just a simple and quick punch that probably should be that effective. Unless it hits.

Could have something to do with the brass knuckles that Grand slipped on.

COMBATSYS: Grand successfully hits Kazuki with Grand Prize.

Kazuki           1/-------/=======|===----\-------\0            Grand

[KAZUKI]
Kazuki's eyes narrow as he catches the glint of the brass knuckles. Then then punch catches him in the face. Kazuki looks at Grand with bleary eyes, nose bleeding freely.

"Fight... Like a..." Kazuki rasps. "Man, huh?"

With that, Kazuki reaches for the punching hand...

COMBATSYS: Kazuki can no longer fight.

[GRAND]
The Grand One connects with this Grand Prize and it looks like Kazuki is a winner! Hunter doesn't even stay still after that punch. He just keeps moving right through it, spinning towards the Grandtourage, tossing the brass knuckles off to one of those women, before stepping to the side and giving himself even more room.

He puts on the most innocent face that he can muster up on short notice. "What? Is The Grand One's Fist too much for you? Understandable. The Grand One is stronger than the average God."

Hunter Grand grins and makes no more moves towards Kazuki as must take a moment for himself. Because that's just how 'The Main Man' Hunter Grand rolls.

COMBATSYS: Grand takes a selfie.

COMBATSYS: Grand has ended the fight here.


[KAZUKI]
Kazuki simply falls to the floor, gasping for air. Injuries have caught up to the younger man.
