Match of the Millennium

Description: Chet, in his bid to win control of the Neo-League's next season for the Illuminati, faces Koto, a top contender in the early rounds.

[KOTO]
Koto had been sent to another Neo League match. The crews were on sight, and Koto himself was just arriving, dropping down from the top of the 'stage' before moving his hands quickly. Sliding into a stance, his hands drop to his side before the left hand raises up and sweeps across slowly, "HEEEENSHIN!"

Right after, the prismatic glow that some of the Neo League viewers have noticed surrounds him and turns him into his more heroic form as he does a few more moves, standing up straight as his hands do a bit of fancy swing arounds, ending up looking like a pair of jaws for a second, "Mega Dragon Fighter J-Dragon!" His right hand swings up near his head with the index and middle finger as well as the curve of the thumb forming a J that also happens to briefly glow to show what it is meant to be, "Ready!"

The teenage fighter from Pacific High is definitely here to put on a show at least, if nothing else!

[CHET]
The Illuminati are interested in the Neo League, now that the champion can seize control of the tournament. Interested in enhancing his own place within the organization, Chet has enrolled in the tournament, in an attempt to win the season and introduce Chet's particular specialty into the tournament rules.

Namely, forming a network within various paramilitary and illegal syndicates, to exploit them for Gil and his dream of Godhood. The finance networks under Gil's control, his first step, now combined with the political organs of the international community via the United Nations. If Chet can help conquer the martial arts tournaments, that brings the dojos and senseis of the Far East under the Illuminati's control.

Merely stepping forward, until the Illuminati can elevate Gil's network to control of world religion, becoming a deity.

Chet slowly walks through the crowd, his soft but hard hands in the pockets of his long coat. He climbs onto the stage with a quick, lightfooted heft, and slowly rolls his shoulders and arms, before he raises his open hands at Koto, left palm outwards and right palm held to his left. His fingers are loosely curled and seperated, his eyes staring down Koto.

"Shall we?"

[KOTO]
Recognizing what seems to be a fighting stance, Koto's masked head gives a nod as he settles into his own stance. A bit of a tight one that he moves forward slowly with, circling to Chet's left as he does.

Then he unleashes a pretty hard looking kick aimed at Chet's legs to attempt to knock him off his feet for the opening move, "Tsunami Sweep!"

Said kick comes from the back leg, too, noticeably lashing out from the knee before snapping out hard mid-swing to add a lot more power to it than normal!

COMBATSYS: Chet blocks Koto's Tsunami Sweep.

Chet             0/-------/------=|=------\-------\0             Koto

[CHET]
Chet drops down to a knee and swings his reserve arm down, to buffet the incoming kick away. He grunts as the shin and foot impact into his dropped arm, grinding his teeth.

"Ha!" comes his cry, as he swings into action, from his position on the ground.

Chet rises to his feet and lurches forward, thrusting his forward arm at Koto's jaw with a vertically rising, then a diagonally falling fist movement to the collar bone, near the neck, crossing the space between them with his arm.

The plunging motion is rapid, and leaves Chet open to retaliation.

COMBATSYS: Chet successfully hits Koto with Fist Pivot Adjust ES.

Chet             0/-------/-----==|====---\-------\0             Koto

[KOTO]
The block of the sweep isn't unexpected, but the returning strike is definitely not normal despite Koto's jaw feeling like it could easily take a few hits thanks to the costume, perhaps. Still, it does knock him to one side a good deal before he rises back up.

Deciding to return the face perhaps, Koto brings a fist from near his hip in a rapid fire strike aimed at Chet's own jaw. "J-Punch!"

Koto's perchant for calling out attack names is probably the major warning, but the fact that he's got a good stance and is even using the rising movement to add to his punch itself might be an indication of how hard this might just hit.

COMBATSYS: Koto successfully hits Chet with J-Punch.

Chet             0/-------/--=====|=====--\-------\0             Koto

[CHET]
Chet's head snaps backwards, his long, honey-blond hair flapping behind him as he stumbles away. He does an eighth spin to his side in the opposite direction that the punch came from, arm lagging to the side as he recovers.

Snapping his jaw open as if he were attempting to be a snap, he rubs it, before he clicks his teeth shut.

Chet charges forward and swiftly reaches out, aiming to grab Koto's throat. If he finds his hold, he pulls backwards with a dancer's lean and careful backslide on his right foot, his left hand slapping up to grab beneath the armpit and flip Koto to the ground by his neck, as if he was a sack of potatos, depositing him on his back.

COMBATSYS: Chet successfully hits Koto with Throttle Bend Flip ES.

Chet             0/-------/=======|======-\-------\0             Koto

[KOTO]
Finding his throat suddenly grabbed at, Koto brings a hand up to block it from doing too much damage but finds himself a little too late as he ends up thrown. Which, arguably, can work good for him as well.
Executing an acrobatic spin and twist of his legs to get back to his feet quickly after the throw, Koto turns as prismatic energy circles around one hand before he unleashes it as soon as he sees where Chet is.

Said unleashing is a swipe upwards as the energy moves in a cascading wave, constantly spinning as it heads straight for his opponent, "DRAAAAGON EMPEROR!"

Afterwards, he settles into a lot loose stance than he has been using, hands more in a loose boxer's style than the more sturdy stance as he starts to circle to Chet's right instead of the left.

COMBATSYS: Chet blocks Koto's Dragon Emperor.

[CHET]
Chet bunches up his arms in front of his face and upper body, palms inwards, the cascading energy sweeping over him as his clothing and hair flap and flutter around him.

Chet takes in a deep breath, before he hurls himself headlong at Koto with a dash, leaping off the ground and swinging his leg out with a blurred, blindingly flash jump kick, his leg swerving out at Koto's face with a spin that clocks around and leaves him in an slightly disadvantaged position for Koto's counterattack.

COMBATSYS: Koto blocks Chet's Grand Dragon Kick.

Chet             0/-------/-----==|=======\=------\1             Koto

[KOTO]
Bringing his hands up to block once again, although this time more fluidly as he aims to push the leg upwards instead of it being a solid seeming block, Koto again brings himself around. Continuing to move sideways, he sets himself as he does.

Even then, he shakes the arm that blocked as his stance shifts closer and a brief prismatic display comes from beneath him. The display of a winged dragon's head with the wings streaking behind him before all that energy swirls to his back leg and he swings with it.

"THUNDER KICK!" The snapping roundhouse has all of that prismatic energy surrounding the shin as it aims at Chet's side in a devastating effect, even leaving a sound a lot like thunder if it does connect.

COMBATSYS: Chet counters Thunder Kick from Koto with Rising Lever Kick.

Chet             0/-------/-----==|=======\===----\1             Koto

[CHET]
Chet shifts on his foot to face Koto from the side, his arm rising in a fist as the roundhouse surges at him.

"HYIA!" comes a high-pitched scream, as he slams his foot upwards from the backleg, surging forward to reverse his side dominance and slamming his toe into Koto's jaw with a fast front kick.

His leg slams up above his head as he bursts through the incoming kick before it can reach him, his dancer's shoe rocketing upwards to jar Koto's cranium with incredible force.

[KOTO]
Finding himself jarred back again, Koto takes a step or two back before bringing his leg forward once again. Koto shakes his head for a moment.

Instead of attacking, he backs off, hands coming up in a more proper block as his stance widens and he circles slowly.

More worrying, however, is the wisps of prismatic energy that start to come off of Koto as he seems to be gathering whatever strange power he has at the moment.

COMBATSYS: Koto glows with prismatic energy.

[CHET]
Chet takes a step back as his leg returns to the ground, watching the coalescing energy around Koto.

Chet circles briefly, his body flexing and his hidden abdominals clenching as he takes a deep, meditative breath, gathering his reserves.

Then, abruptly, a rolling to the side, with a side leg aimed at Koto's knee, Chet's opposing hand flat on the ground as he balances with the preparation for an incoming assault.

COMBATSYS: Koto blocks Chet's Evasive Kick.

Chet             0/-------/-----==|>>>>>>>\>>>>>>>\2             Koto

[KOTO]
Continuing his circling movement, Koto spins downwards as his hands go for grabbing at Chet's incoming leg after a strong forearm block.

And since Chet is so conviently on the ground practically... Koto spins and unleashes a harsh looking punch aimed at Chet's midsection as a way to try to turn the match around a bit for himself.

Afterwards, he moves away to hopefully try to avoid whatever the other man might try next.

COMBATSYS: Chet counters Fierce Punch from Koto with Astral Magnificence Kick.

Chet             0/-------/-----==|>>>>>>>\>>>>>>>\2             Koto

[CHET]
Chet jerks about on the ground to catch the incoming punch in his open hand, pushing backwards as he lurches forward in an equal and opposite counter-force.

Then, Koto's hand caught, Chet sweeps his leg around as he pushes Koto backwards, a devastating kick launched into Koto's ribs from the side, just under his arm.

"Yah!"

[KOTO]
Wincing at the kick, Koto apparently decides to go for broke, even as he breathes a bit heavily.

That prismatic energy suddenly surrounds him again as he launches what's probably his final attack, the glowing symbol appearing on the ground before surrounding both of his legs as he leaps into the air, flipping forward in an axe kick aimed at Chet, followed by an acrobatic flip backwards with the second leg aimed at Chet's chin.

After landing, Koto practically falls over over however, obviously that having been his last big move that he's hoping might pull out a win somehow.

COMBATSYS: Koto can no longer fight.

[CHET]
Chet puts his arm up and bends his legs as the axe kick impacts into him, grunting beneath the blow, before the blow to the chin is knocked aside with a swipe of his hand. The fight completely, Chet runs his hands through his hair simultaneously, bending forward with a hard breath, before he leans back and stretches.

The audience around him, in Cannes, cheering, he walks away through the crowd, hands back in the pockets of his long coat.
