Match of the Millennium

Description: Within a creepy restaurant, a Tanuki fights an equally creepy kid. Who will reign supreme in this strange setting?!

[CHRIS]
Here is another fight, in a restaurant, no less. A fight between a 14 years old boy and a tanuki. It makes you want to say: 'Dorothy, we are not in Kansas anymore!' But that's exactly where our two heroes are.

The restaurant has no people eating in it currently. Granted, people are there for the fight, but they are at a relatively safe distance. However, all the objects you would expect in this iconic fast food place are still around. There are plenty of ways to make a carnage here. This Spangles might not be able to open up for a while after this fight.

Chris made his way cheered by his fans. "Yeah, the moment you've been all waiting for. I promise it's going to be memorable." He gives a wink to some of the ladies in the crowd and gets in a fighting position. Today he's wairing his usual blue rt-shirt shirt with white bermuda shorts. He seems to be ready for this contest.

[DAICHI]
The tanuki came here... late! Chris is actually forced to wait for a good ten minutes after the deadline, to the point there's murmurs of disqualifying Daichi. Only then does the short tanuki appear; munching on some fries, seeming entirely too grumpy by all accounts. "I'm here, I'm here!" He looks much like an upright raccoon, although tan instead of grey; and with no rings on that voluminous tail of his. Dressed in a simple grey gi, he settles himself opposite in the center of the arena, slowly munching on his treat.

His hazel eyes squint as they take in Chris, frowning subtly with a twitch of his ears. "You've got a real creepy smile, kid." he points out, matter of factly. "Well, I'm not above beating on young people. I already did it once! Let's see what you got... human? You're a human, right?"

[CHRIS]
Chris waiting around, ends up singing a song for the crowd hanging around. It passes the time at least and he's doing well even without his instrument to play music with. He doesn't seem worried about his opponent lateness.

He's proved right when Daichi suddenly lets everyone know he made it. Then there is a comment on his smile. He has to answer to that. "I might have a creepy smile, but at least I can read a watch, or anything else that can display time." Then he adds at the second question. "You will find out soon if I am human, yeah?"

After speaking those words, he awaits the cue for the start of the fight eagerly. As soon as it happens. He dashes to his opponent and jumps on a table, then jumps toward him. He attempt to hit him with a diving kick. Let see how fast Daichi really is.

[DAICHI]
Whether just for show or genuinely due to being lackadaisical, Daichi finishes his fries and tosses the remainder of paper away, licking his little fingers with a mild grunt of genuine delight. He doesn't know well enough to be properly horrified by the venue, and the food /is/ good to a native of the Spirit Realm. Of course, the longer he's here, the more... unsettling the decor becomes, which just resonates with Chris' strangeness in all the wrong ways. Like some subtle, subversive horror creeping up the back of his mind.

"Time is a human luxury! I came here before it was too late, that's all that matters..." He suddenly brings out a long wooden staff with brass round caps on each end, twirling it around with a whirl. Fast...! Chris is upon him in a heartbeat, and rather than try to follow such motion, he invokes a green shield. Chris' foot, upon hitting it, stops dead; long enough for the tanuki to press out, intercepting it with his staff and with a grunt shoving the smaller boy airborne to likely backflip away.

"Not bad...! But can you handle THIS?!" He then brings up his sake bottle, taking a deep swig. Before his cheeks bulge out like a hamster, and a moment later sending a green spray of virulent, corrosive chi flashing opposite in a misty cloud!

COMBATSYS: Chris dodges Daichi's Shirodokkuri.

[CHRIS]
Chris' foot doesn't even hit Daichi. He managed to bring a shield up to stop him dead on his track. He even manages, with a staff, to push him away. To land safely, Chris indeed needs to make a backflip, which he ends up doing. "Well done, you are quick." He tells his opponent.

He still has to be on guard however, as Daichi returns the favor with an attack of his own. Chris looks like he reacts instinctively to it, as he jumps again over the mist. Some of it makes his left shoot smoke as a few drop gets on it. It looks like he's not going to do anything until he turns this in a quick diving kick, again, but this time heel first, toward the tanuki. Would he be able to catch him off guard now...

COMBATSYS: Daichi fails to deflect Gliding Stomp from Chris with Fool's Errand.

[DAICHI]
There's a little huff, huff from Daichi after repelling his opponent. "I'm not quick..." he points out, sounding almost defensive about it, before cursing lightly as the nimble human deftly shifts away from his assault. Spiraling around the staff, once more he tries to bring up a defensive barrier; but the second time, Chris is faster and slams into his stomach. There's a brief bulge of the eyes before the tanuki is sent hurtling backwards, crashing into a table and rolling rotundly to a stop. "Hfft... damnit!" he grouses, pushing up to his feet and appearing quite disheveled...!

[CHRIS]
Chris gets a hit the second time. Some say trying the same thing, expecting a different result, is the definition of crazy. But sometimes, something quite similar does work. You just have to go for it. His fan there are cheering for him as the move seems to have quite an impact. He also gets some boos in the mix.

Chris doesn't say much now, but he knows to push his advantage as little or big as it is at the moment. He goes after him and pulls him up on his feet. If he can, he punches him toward his face with his right hand, then sends his left knee to his stomach before lifting him to slam him to the ground. A sort of combo if everything goes to plan.

COMBATSYS: Daichi dodges Chris' Fierce Combo.

[DAICHI]
There's no real fans for Daichi. If anything, people are just here out of curiosity; rumors that some strange mystical opponent does tricky things has made the rounds since his first fight with Sendo. The first attempt to grasp him is broken deftly, before the tanuki shifts backwards. He dodges the follow-up, before twirling around his staff and then darting out his paw. Trying to capture Chris by the shirt, yank him off-balance and with a growl flip him over a shoulder and into another adjacent table!

COMBATSYS: Chris instinctively blocks Daichi's Power Throw.

[CHRIS]
Chris tries to make something out of that combo works, but to none available. This fight is interesting in it's own right. It makes Chris smile again. If only people could see what is going through his mind. Thankfully they can and the fight continues.

Chris can't smile for long as Daichi grabs him with his paw. He even manages to flip him over his shoulder, but Chris is able to move around to lessen the impact of it, using his arm to take the brunt of the damage as he hits the table. It still makes him wince a bit. He then rolls off of it to get back to his feet.

Chris takes a fraction of second to ponder his next move. Then he goes forth, doing a super fast dash toward Daichi. On the way, his aims his shoulder at him, trying to hit him. Either way, he continues forward past him.

COMBATSYS: Daichi blocks Chris' Scramble Dash.

[DAICHI]
That smile makes the fur on Daichi's tail poof out. There's just something about it that he doesn't like. As someone less exposed to humans, and naturally suspicious, he tends to interpret things in the worst way possible in the first place... and nope, he doesn't like this human one bit! Shifting backwards, the sudden dash makes him bring up his weapon, deflecting the shoulder with a wild spin and a grunt of alarm. "Argh... how are you so fast?! It barely looks like you're moving!" Spinning around with him, he then rushes forward in chase, bringing up his staff overhead with a grunt, and then dropping it down in an overhead swing, trying to clobber Chris right atop the head; the bronze ball at the end expanding in size and weight in the same moment, to amplify the potential damage!

[CHRIS]
Another attack that doesn't quite work, but at least Chris keeps him on his toes. "Maybe you're just slow," he tells the creature. He is just kidding, but it could be taken as an insult as well.

He doesn't have time to say anything else after that as Daichi comes to him with a dangerous staff. Chris is ready however, when it goes overhead, and he moves to Daichi's right side to punch him there. A mix between speed and force. There is nothing fancy about this, but it isn't the point at the moment.

[DAICHI]
"I'm not slow, I'm efficient!" Daichi growls out, watching the strangely moving human as he continues to advance. There's the fierce crack of his staff hitting the ground, then the tanuki leaps sideways, barely clearing the fist that rockets towards his ribcage. It's then that he carefully assesses things, trying to get past the odd desynchronization between compact movements and incredible speed. "You're more troublesome than that Tsugumi woman...! I can see how you got this far...!"

COMBATSYS: Daichi focuses on his next action.

[   \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\  < >  ///////////////////////       ]
Chris            0/-------/---====|===----\-------\0           Daichi

[CHRIS]
He chuckles and could hear the crack of the staff hitting the ground. But he's also not touching his target either. That is more annoying, but what can he say, it's fun too.

He's expecting an attack after that, but instead he feels observed. "She found no one to face me first round. You know how that goes." He speaks with him."

He then jumps up instead of returning the compliment to Daichi. As he arrives toward him, he tries to hit him with a stronger punch toward the chest area.. Is that the solution? That's what Chris goes for anyway.

COMBATSYS: Daichi blocks Chris' Strong Punch.

Chris            0/-------/---====|====---\-------\0           Daichi

[DAICHI]
The fierce strike is intercepted with the staff once more, bringing it up to catch it in the center with a grunt of effort. The tanuki's feetclaws grasp at the ground as he skids slightly backwards, grimacing at the force within such a compact body. "Well... try THIS on!" With little warning, the tanuki suddenly draws out a small ring. A flash of green energy makes it grow to the size of a hula hoop, before Daichi vaults upwards. Twisting, he flings it downwards, trying to drop it around Chris' arms; whereupon it would violently compress, trying to capture him before detonating in a flash of green fire!!

COMBATSYS: Chris instinctively blocks Daichi's Snipe Hunt.

[    \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\  < >  ////////////////////          ]
Chris            0/-------/--=====|====---\-------\0           Daichi

[CHRIS]
In truth, Chris knows full well why Daichi is here as well. He just doesn't say it. He does a nice block, even if it seems to take a bit out of him. "Good job, my furry friend." He fully expects to be told he isn't his friend, but that's alright.

More green chi from Daichi as he starts another attack. He's not sure what to expect. When the energy moves around Chris's arm, he somewhat manages to get loose of it before the compression. Showing at times, he's can be quite the fast human. He doesn't expect the explosion however. It's only by instinct he protect vitals area of his body. It does make him skid back and grunts as he feels the effect of the explosion, but less then expected.

Then he moves toward Daichi, and at the right distance, he spins his body around. During the spin, he does a double handed backfist toward him, trying to take him down a bit at a time.

COMBATSYS: Chris successfully hits Daichi with Spinning Array.

Chris            0/-------/--=====|======-\-------\0           Daichi

[DAICHI]
"Gah... like we would be friends!" As expected, Daichi rebuffs the statement, but goes so far as to poke out his tongue and tug down his lower eyelid, just to rub it in even more. Still, he's having trouble with an opponent as straightforward and speedy as Chris... only for another pair of blows to slam into his face, sending him staggering backwards once more. He's definitely being worn down over time... but still darts forward, trying to catch and twist Chris' arm with a compression of joints and shoulder. "You little...!" he hisses out, baring his teeth towards the seemingly young human, even if he's beginning to wobble a little...

COMBATSYS: Daichi successfully hits Chris with Medium Throw.

[CHRIS]
Chris has no answer for the friend retort, although he expected exactly that come back. He doesn't need to have a tanuki's fan anyway. It's a fight after all, not a tea party.

Talking about a fight, this one isn't done. Chris tries to move his arm out of the way of Daichi's grasp, but he can't always get away from everything. Instinct nor luck works all the time. Chris's arm gets grabbed and twist. He can feel the annoying pain settling in. A quick thought in his mind makes him wonder how a Tanuki tastes, but he quickly pushes it away. That wasn't a good thought.

As his arm is still captured by Daichi, he tries to lift him up and slam him back down to make him let go.

COMBATSYS: Chris successfully hits Daichi with Quick Throw.

[DAICHI]
"Hnngh...!" Hefted up with surprising strength, Daichi is slammed down upon a table, shattering it around him. His hand loosens significantly, but doesn't quite release entirely; before using Chris' own leverage to launch himself upwards, bringing his staff around with a yell. Two fierce strikes of green energy follow with his brass-fitted staff, before he tries to twist and hurl Chris away by his held arm, before the tanuki sinks slighty in pain and built-up wounds. "Haa... haa... annoying little fly, aren't you...!"

COMBATSYS: Chris parries Daichi's Tanuki Rhythm!!

Chris            1/------=/=======|======-\-------\0           Daichi

[CHRIS]
Chris seems to know what Daichi is about to do, even as Chris' arm is still held. He moves his body just enough to dodge the strikes, even if he's restrained in his movements at the moment. The next things Chris knows, he's throw hurled away. He simply flips himself and lands on his feet safely. "You heard that, people? I am annoying! Lets show him just how annoying I can be!" Part of the crowd cheers again at this. Chris however, can still feel the marks of the fight. He isn't unscathed. Just not heavily damaged yet.

He dashes right again after those words, leading in with an elbow strikes. He takes that into a low slide kick. It looks now like things have gotten more serious.

Chris            1/------=/=======|=======\-------\0           Daichi

[DAICHI]
"..." There's a bitter growl when Chris so flawlessly evades things, only to launch away and return towards him in equal measure. His staff is empowered with green energy, before he snaps it out to block the quick tempo of attacks as best he can, grunting to himself in exertion. He's running out of options here... kipping forward on one foot, he then tries to swing out his weapon and catch Chris by the arm with the end of the staff, to twist and flick him towards the ground face-first. "C'mon, c'mon...! Show me what you got, you creepy kid!!"

COMBATSYS: Chris interrupts Quick Throw from Daichi with Twister Drive.

Chris            0/-------/------=|=======\==-----\1           Daichi

[CHRIS]
After Daichi manages to block him again, Chris observes him. Not like he can for long, but he was trying to anticipate what he was going to do.

When the attack starts, Chris is caught by the staff. His arm is even flipped around just as Chris starts his own attack. He can feel the pain as his arm twists wrong, but that doesn't stop him. He does a rapid backflipping spin kicks into the air, with an aura of chi to it. Then he drops instantly back tot he ground, only to launch himself back up for another round of kicks to Daichi's (poor?) body. It seems he took to heart of showing Daichi what he could do. Or perhaps he didn't appreciate the creepy part this time. Once the seconds series of kicks are done, he falls back to the ground and stays there, rubbing the damaged arm

[DAICHI]
The fierce, burning kicks all drive into Daichi, who hadn't properly guarded his body in the first place. "Nnn...!" he exhales, before the multiple kicks send him airborne, and he goes flying backwards to crash into an adjoining wall. The crowd is cheering, and not for him; his head's throbbing, there's pain everywhere, this is miserable...! He's not doing this for any reason that truly stokes his willpower, beyond the injury to his pride. But he can see no path to victory. All avenues are vanished, before he pushes up to his feet slowly. "Ehhh..." Then he slowly falls backwards into a sit, holding up his paws. "I'm done...! You win!! I forfeit!" The only consolation prize would be getting pounded even more, or worse! "Damn little shrimp... you got me /this/ time..."

COMBATSYS: Daichi drinks from his sake bottle.

Chris            0/-------/------=|=======\==-----\1           Daichi

[CHRIS]
Part of Chris wants to continue this, and destroy him. He's aware of this part. It has helped him at times, but right now, it would be free violence in front of some of his fans. He doesn't need to destroy his opponent to feel good. He performed well. So did Daichi, though he doesn't voice that. He feels it would be more of an insult to him than anything else.

So in light of this, Chris backs down. He doesn't attack again. "I accept" Says Chris. Plain and simple, no extra talk. Before announcing Chris' win, the officials make sure it is not a ruse. Of course Daichi could get an attack in instead, but would it be worth it."

COMBATSYS: Chris takes no action.

[       \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\  < >  //////                        ]
Chris            0/-------/------=|=======\==-----\1           Daichi

[DAICHI]
"...fine!" Daichi retorts, before crossing his arms and twisting his head. Officials come in, and after a few seconds of him just sitting there in awkward silence, declare Chris the victor! Brushing aside the medics, the tanuki is quick to leave; both the strange decor of the restaurant, and the even more unsettling aura of Chris. He could smell it, almost taste it in the air, the violence and bloodlust beneath the surface. There's no point in voicing it or making a scene, but... this kid is dangerous. Much moreso than he presents himself, that much is true. "Maybe I found something of value after all." he grouses, quickly bursting out into the back alleys and vanishing amongst the rest of the city as the bewildered staffers trail out afterwards...

COMBATSYS: Daichi has left the fight here.

[       \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\  <
Chris            0/-------/------=|

[CHRIS]
Chris after being declared the winner and after Daichi his gone, makes his way toward the crowd. It's time to give the fans to have some Chris time and for Chris to have some close cheering time. This fight went well, he has been lucky. Not all fights, no matter how good one may be goes so fine. But for now, it was time to have fun. And fun he would have as he is picked up by some girls into the air. It's time to party!

COMBATSYS: Chris has ended the fight here.
