Match of the Millennium

Description: Slamfest! The spirit empowered Native Americaness Julia vs the psychically empowered tokusatsu Koto! Who will win?

[JULIA]
SLAMFEST 2020, one of the biggest wrestling events of the new decade is underway. A lot of fighters have come to test their skills in the wrestling arena. It's a packed stadium with lots of fans here to see who will come out on top in this first match. For a while, things are quiet until the lights go down for the most part. Then the ring announcer steps into the center of the ring.

"Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, welcome to SLAMFEST 2020!" The crowd begins to cheer wildly as the announcer welcomes everyone. "Introducing first, from Arizona, weighing at 106 pounds, the Native American dedicated to saving our panet, it's Julia Chang!"

As Julia's name is announced, various short clips of her fighting appear on the giant screen, while below Julia herself appears with a blast of smoke on either side. She stops and proceeds to do a few boxing style punches as if pretending to warm up, then proceeds to walk down towards the ring, waving to everyone with a slight smile, before climbing up onto the outer edge.

From here, Julia grabs the ropes then proceeds to flip over and somersault into the ring. From here, she takes a brief moment to look around with her hands on her hips, then proceeds to step back to her corner. From here, she places her hands in front of her and lowers her head. "Spirits, give me strength," She says before looking up again. She watches and waits for her opponent to arrive.

[KOTO]
Once Julia has made her introduction, a smoke cloud comes up on the ramp. Enough that only a silhouette is visible in it who takes what looks like some sort of pose. Then there's a bright light as something appears and the figure moves his arms in a rather dramatic display, "HEEENSHIN!" Is heard as the smoke ends up blown away to reveal the figure covered in prismatic light breaks away to reveal her opponent.

"And from Tokyo, Japan, comes the one and only Koto, the Mega Dragon Fighter JJJJJ-DRAAAAAGON!" The announcer sounds out as Koto's transformation finishes.

The clips show various SNF for him. Including his using that prismatic energy all over the place. From a nice big blast to using it on kicks and punches. The superhero makes his way down at a walk before running and leaping into the air. And over the ropes no less. Almost as if he was flying before he does a back flip in mid-air to land in a three point stance perfectly. Rising up, he gives a bow of respect towards Julia before backing into his own corner and waiting.

COMBATSYS: Koto enters the arena, to the roar of the crowd!

COMBATSYS: [Eyes Set to Kill - Masks] "I love the way they tell us, / 'This is who you should be..' / We put our faces on.. just like a MASK.." A dangerous song for a dangerous person. JULIA CHANG is ready to SLAM!

Julia            0/-------/-------|-------\-------\0             Koto

[JULIA]
Returning the bow politely, Julia waits for the referee to come to the center of the ring. He gives a few last minute instructions to both of them, and then signals for the bell.

CLANG!

And with that, the fight is underway and the crowd is on their feet. It's time to get this show on the road!

"I've seen professional wrestling on television, but I never thought I'd be a part of it," Julia says without a smile. "I mean, my fighting style does have some elements of wrestling, but..." She shakes her head. "No, I must let the spirits guide me." She stares at Koto and tries to formulate a plan of attack as they approach each other.

When all else fails, sometimes it's best to go with the simplest things. Julia decides to open things with a simple chopping strike while trying to think of more techniques to use.

COMBATSYS: Julia successfully hits Koto with Light Chop.

Julia            0/-------/-------|==-----\-------\0             Koto

[KOTO]
Bringing his hand up to block, Koto ends up chopped across the chest a bit hard. That's a new one for him. He rubs his chest where he was smacked even as he ends up backed into the ropes seemingly and bouncing off. "Youch... so much for it being all fake and stuff."

Thinking quick, he decides to go for a classic as well. Especially as he's not about to try getting into a chopping contest at the moment. He bounces off the ropes and takes off at a quick run aimed to throw an arm out and attempt to catch his opponent with a rather hard clothesline hopefully!

Regardless afterwards, then young superhero says, "Wow! Never thought wrestling moves would be so much fun!"

Julia            0/-------/-----==|=------\-------\0             Koto

[JULIA]
Apparently, chopping someone like that can do more harm than good. Julia finds herself doing a bit more than she intended with her attack, but then she realizes she's in this for the whole fight. "OK, must keep going." She says as she steps back a little, waiting to see what Koto has planned next.

It's a clothesline. Something Julia has dealt with quite a bit. Don't ask how.

Thinking quickly, she raises her hands to try to catch the incoming arm, and while she succeeds partially, she still goes flying backwards a little which causes her to gasp a little.

"Even if it is supposed to be fake, it still hurts!" Julia comments, before attempting to kick at Koto's stomach with her left foot.

COMBATSYS: Koto blocks Julia's Short Kick.

Julia            0/-------/-----==|==-----\-------\0             Koto

[KOTO]
Koto gives a shrug, "Yeah... oh, sorry about this!" He says as one hand comes down to push the kick aside.

What's he saying sorry for? Then comes a prismatically covered leg that tries to take a nice roundhouse kick aimed at her midsection. The young man calls out, "THUUUNDER KICK!" In mid-swing. The roundhouse notably is chambered before being unleashed, and not to mention sounding a lot like thunder even if it misses.

Yep. Time to stop playing with average things, Koto's bringing out the odd powers now!

COMBATSYS: Julia dodges Koto's Thunder Kick.

Julia            0/-------/----===|==-----\-------\0             Koto

[JULIA]
You know how they sometimes dodge attacks in an extravagant manner? Well this is one of those times.

Despite his attempt at kicking Julia, the girl drops down and rolls sideways to avoid being caught by the kick. "So, he wants to use some of his signature attacks, does he?" Julia says with a slight smirk.

"Two can play at that game!" The Native American adds as she stands up and says, "OK, now let's play for real!" She taps her fists together a couple of times as if to emphasize this point before stepping back a little as if saying, "Better watch out!"

Then the girl steps forwards quickly, bringing both of her palms forwards in a strong thrust with spiritual energy included.

In the crowd they're probably wondering what kind of special effects she's using.

COMBATSYS: Julia successfully hits Koto with Palm Explosion.

[    \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\  < >  //////////////////////        ]
Julia            0/-------/---====|====---\-------\0             Koto

[KOTO]
The spiritual explosion knocks Koto back a few steps, but it seems as if for some reason he's one of those tough guys. Despite being a high school teenager. That definitely didn't do as much as it should have done.

But apparently he has had enough of the wrestling as well as he settles into a wider, looser stance and steps forward as well as to the side before spinning with his back leg lashing out. Prismatic energy surrounds the leg again as what seems like some sort of tail flares out around it, aiming to knock her off of her feet. Followed by a second lash of it as he spins into a wheel kick. "Dragon Swings Tail!"

It looks like he's fallen back on signature moves so far.

Julia            0/-------/=======|======-\-------\0             Koto

[JULIA]
Even the best of the best have to go down. Julia is no exception. She goes down to the canvas with a boom.

"Unngh!" She grunts, rubbing at her back and laying there like she's in pain. She winces a little, but then suddenly rolls back onto her feet, and then rubs her back again.

"OK, now let's play for keeps!" Julia says as she waits for the right moment to strike. She brings her arm up quickly, trying to strike Koto with it as she dashes by quickly.

COMBATSYS: Koto interrupts Medium Lariat from Julia with Irish Whip.

[         \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\  < >  ///////////////////           ]
Julia            1/------=/=======|=======\-------\1             Koto

[KOTO]
The young superhero lands from the spiralling dragon tail swinging to rise up, only to find Julia coming at him again. And he looks unsure how to respond for a second.

The playing for keeps is probably not what she meant whenever she manages to hit Koto with the arm, and he actually turns it and her around to send her at the ropes instead. He even steps back a step or two afterwards, obviously a bit unused to the force as he whips her at the other side of the ring hopefully. Not that he can really aim something like a classic Irish Whip in this case.

[JULIA]
Julia finds herself caught and flung into the ropes. "Oh crap!" She cries out, not expecting THAT to happen. She finds herself going at the ropes rather fast, only turning around at the last minute, just in time to bounce OFF of them and towards Koto again. "Gotta think fast!" She whispers.

Julia tries jump into the air and grab onto Koto's neck. If she's successful, she'll turn him around and bring him face first to the canvas. Hopefully it'll hurt him more than it hurts Julia, given how fast she's going.

COMBATSYS: Julia successfully hits Koto with Flying Bulldog.

Julia            1/----===/=======|=======\=====--\1             Koto

[KOTO]
The flying bulldog surprisingly works quite well. Koto's masked face ends up down on the mat quite hard. Probably hard enough to leave a small crater or something. Maybe. It hurts. A lot. Koto actually lays there for a moment before he gets up. "Okay... that hurt..."

And his body is starting to... glow as he seems to be working to concentrate. What the hell?

Special effects or not, it's obvious that he's probably charging up for something. Maybe. Hard to tell whenever he's obviously moving a bit unsteadily after having his face meeting canvas so hard. Even with a helmet.

COMBATSYS: Koto glows with prismatic energy.

[         \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\  < >  ////////////                  ]
Julia            1/----===/=======|>>>>>>>\>>>>>>>\2             Koto

[JULIA]
As Julia gets back to her feet, she realizes that the spirits may be working for Koto as well as herself. He's glowing in a manner that should seem like no surprise to Julia, but something about it makes her a little uneasy. It could be special effects or it could be something else.

"No, I must not give up."

Julia stares intently at her opponent, attempting to get an idea of what he's up to. She doesn't break her stare at Koto in the least bit, instead opting to take a couple of running steps at him, before attempting to spin around briefly, and then deliver a swift high kick.

If that connects, she'll follow it up with a huge uppercut.

COMBATSYS: Koto blocks Julia's Hunting Tomahawk.

[          \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\  < >  ///////////                   ]
Julia            1/---====/=======|>>>>>>>\>>>>>>>\2             Koto

[KOTO]
The high kick is blocked with one arm, then the uppercut with another before Koto tries something a bit out of his usual league. He suddenly spins and steps at the same time, aiming to spin around Julia and wrap his arms around her waist from behind her.

The move is obviously not out of his usual moves, but more of something he's trying to get a serious advantage. That, and probably most of his moves are pretty flashy judging by the earlier thunder kick. Whatever he did definitely looks to have restored some concentration to him, and it looks as if he was moving just a little bit faster.

Then he tries to lift and bend backwards in an attempt to drop Julia in a suplex backwards on to her head and shoulders possibly. It's not a martial artist move, but one more suited for powerhouses. Not something he has shown himself to be despite being extremely tough so far.

COMBATSYS: Julia blocks Koto's Grand Superplex.

[             \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\  < >  ///////////                   ]
Julia            1/-======/=======|>>>>>--\-------\0             Koto

[JULIA]
"Spirits, protect me," Julia says as she sees Koto twisting behind her all of a sudden. She knows she's most likely in trouble now as she feels her opponent grabbing her and lifting her up. Closing her eyes, Julia tenses herself up and attempts to absorb whatever is coming next. When she feels Koto bending over backwards, she suspects it's something like a suplex of sorts.

Her instincts turn out to be right as she finds herself going head-first towards the canvas. She reaches out with her hands and supports herself at the last second, keeping herself from getting quite a bit of a headache as she flops onto the canvas before pushing herself up again, wincing a little at the pain in her hands.

"Thank you, spirits, now please guide me again," Julia says as she focuses the spiritual power within her body into her hands, and attempts to slap at Koto and then throw an uppercut. If this succeeds, she'll follow up by bringing that same arm down, elbow first, then backhand Koto and charge into him with her shoulder.

COMBATSYS: Koto blocks Julia's Iron Mountain Rush.

Julia            0/-------/----===|>>>>>>>\-------\0             Koto

[KOTO]
Koto takes the backhand quite hard, but manages to at least get his arms in the way of the shoulder charge to avoid taking that head on as he steps around. Then hops backwards. "Alright, lady... you like to talk to those spirits quite a bit. I can admire that. But they're not involved in this fight. We are."

There's a bright prismatic glow under Koto. Some sort of symbol forming under his feet. Cameras would later show it as some sort of winged dragon's head as it spreads out under him before sliding inwards and to his legs. "Let's see what you can do on your own!" He leaps into the air, bringing himself around.

"RAIJIN RYU!" The call comes as he tries to descend on Julia with a scissor like kick, one that that glow says will probably be like the earlier Thunder Kick. From both legs no less!

COMBATSYS: Koto successfully hits Julia with Raijin Ryu.

[JULIA]
"I can do a lot of things on my own, thanks to the power of the spirits," Julia replies sternly. "They grant me a lot of abilities." She isn't doubting Koto's abilities, just attempting to emphasize that she is capable of holding her own in a fight any day. However, right now it's looking like that capability is coming into question.

Seeing that powerful kick coming at her, Julia is forced to take evasive maneuvers, only to find herself getting caught anyway in the side, causing her to stumble into the ropes and nearly fall out of the ring! Fortunately, she catches herself quickly and manages to stop herself. After taking a moment to catch her breath, Julia stares at Koto with more determination than ever.

She knows that both she and her opponent are nearing the end of their ropes, and one of them has to fall. She takes a few deep breaths, trying to keep herself from losing focus, then rushes at Koto with the intention of hitting him with her arm as she runs past him.

[KOTO]
Koto manages to at least block the clothesline from knocking him fully over, only taking a step or two back as he raises up. He does look on his last legs, though, and he feels it, too, perhaps.

But he looks like he's enjoying the fight at that. "Right... right... so how about we give these people a nice, fun finish?"

The masked tokusatsu hero brings his hands up, circling again. "Think you can keep up with my Mega Power?"

Then he brings his hands up and down, swinging them as a wave of prismatic flames, almost like the wings of something shoot out from his arms. "DRAGON FLAME SWIPE!"

COMBATSYS: Julia dodges Koto's Dragon Flame Swipe.

[JULIA]
"Huh, nice special effects," Julia comments with a slight smirk as she dodges out of the way of Koto's fiery attack. Then she feels the heat and says, "OK, so maybe they're more than just that. But you'll have to do better!"

A pause as Julia wipes the sweat from her forehead. "This is getting me some good results," She comments to herself. "I'll have to remember this!" Taking another deep breath, Julia runs across the ring, rebounding off of the ropes.

As she does this, Julia launches into the air and attempts to drive her boot into Koto's face with an immense drop kick.

COMBATSYS: Koto interrupts Big Boot from Julia with Crane Swipes Fish.

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

[KOTO]
The young, masked superhero apparently isn't quite done. Or that flame swipe was a setup of some sort. His arms snap up as the boot comes flying at him. In a snap move, Koto's arm comes up to push the dropkick aside and the other comes around as his hands spin in an almost circle to snap into Julia's back as he steps to the side, then spins around into a wider stance.

The move seemed almost instinctual. Koto actually looks a bit shocked that he managed to pull the move off if body language is anything to go by as he steps back a few steps to give himself some breathing room. "Uh... wow. Sorry?"

That's about all he can get out. He's on his last legs, breathing heavy, and probably didn't expect that to work it seems like.

[JULIA]
Julia wasn't sure if she would succeed with her attack, but apparently Koto had other ideas too. She finds herself getting knocked to the canvas by Koto and landing awkwardly, leaving her to wince in pain as she lies on the canvas for a moment. Koto might be on his last legs, but Julia feels the same way herself. She's struggling to get back onto her own feet, but with the guidance of the spirits, she gets to one foot, then the other.

"Spirits, be with me please," Julia comments as she takes a couple of more deep breaths, wiping the sweat from her brow. "I can win this, I know I can," She says as she looks at the glowing energy forming in her hands again.

"With the power of the spirits, I know I can overcome any obstacle. I know I can!" Julia says as she steps towards the weakened Koto and, with both hands, attempts to send him sailing across the ring with a double palm strike that is powered with her spiritual energy.

COMBATSYS: Koto blocks Julia's Heaven Cannon.

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

[KOTO]
Koto is knocked backwards, straight into the ropes where he rebounds back. And in what is probably a last, desperate move, goes flying as he brings a hand back, charged with the prismatic energies as he brings it around at Julia, "J-Dragon... Strike!" The immense punch looks to have a prismatic dragon's head around it as it comes flying at her.

Regardless if it hits or not, though, the young man lands badly and can only roll to his back after that. He's still breathing, but obviously looks out of it. Way out of it from the way he's not moving.

He definitely gave it his all, though, even if he fell back on more fighter style moves. The special effects were probably just that, right?

COMBATSYS: Koto can no longer fight.

[JULIA]
One last ditch effort, but it's not good enough. Julia evades just in the nick of time as Koto misses and drops to the canvas. Realizing that it's most likely now or never, she quickly drops down and pins his shoulders. Immediately, the referee starts to count.

"ONE!! TWO!! THREE!!"

As soon as the referee counts three, the bell is rung and the crowd is up on their feet, although there are some who are booing since they were in support of Koto. The ring announcer immediately begins to speak up on the microphone once the pinfall has been confirmed.

"Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner, Julia Chang!"

With that, Julia raises her hands in a brief show of appreciation, before putting her hands together and saying, "Thank you, spirits." After that, she bows formally to her pinned opponent before leaving the ring and heading backstage.

COMBATSYS: Julia has ended the fight here.
