Match of the Millennium

Description: Situated out the front of the warehouse to meet the coming invaders is none other than the giant ABIGAIL. A man whose might is truly legendary and whose patience with Juri's antics may be getting sorely taxed. Nevertheless, if anything good is going to come out of all this, he can't let Team Thunder's Ariastra tear things up over what is ... probably ... a misunderstanding. Can all the magic of the mythic age help her overcome the modern-day marvel that is Mad Gear's own home-grown Titan?

[ARIASTRA]
She saw the foursome together and grew curious. She knew something was going on, so she asked them. She listened to them as they told their story. So Coco has been kidnapped, they told her. She couldn't say she cared that much about that, but the team was all about teamwork right now, and that was good. Besides, Hawksley is an alright chap.

After some healing where needed, she decided to join them on the quest. They might need someone stronger to handle a few things.

When Buck went back to the car to drive, Ariastra called shotgun, and nobody dared contest it due mainly to her seniority. Hawksley ended up trapped in the back between Chevy and Ichika. This made Ariastra chuckle.

So here she is now, riding in the truck with everyone. Until it comes to a stop, and Hawksley mentions he's not comfortable with splitting up. "Everything will be fine boy. Go get Coco. We will all handle what comes our way.

Then she goes herself. She feels something. She looks at Chevy and Ichika. You go on. There's something I need to take care of here." She makes sure they do go and then keeps her senses on alert.

[ABIGAIL]
This place looks more like some sort of prison camp then the training grounds for a group of neophyte celeberties in teh fighting world. The deep dark shadows that cling to the cracks, craters and crevices that pock mark the ground or spiderweb their way up the sides of the walls of the warehouse don't do much for the decor either.

And yet a surpirsing splash of color does exist. An oversized truck, practically a monster truck, of bright yellows and greens, sits just outsisde of the immense warehouse doors and parked not to far away is a full on semi-truck. A massive thing painted with an elaborate mural portraying an imitation of "The Great Wave" by Katsushika Hokusai with..additional gaudy images of an armored samurai and anime 'inspired' women..all of it looking about as out of place as everything else in this bizarre locale.

The gates leading to this are swung wide open. The courtyard stacked with tires, car parts, used training dummies, work benches and other assorted materials. All in all a bit of a mess.

SOme ogre blood stains here and there as well but that's a tale for another time.

Either way, it's all strangely quiet and empty..aside from the aforementioned chaotic assemblage. The students have it easy making their way in as it seems nobody is bothering to guard the gates.

[ARIASTRA]
This wasn't the best place she has ever seen, wasn't the worse either. It almost looks like once you get in, you don't get out. This was an interesting decor.

What's even better is the truck. How big it is, the colors. It was interesting. Though it doesn't feel like it fits here. Who is she to judge, however? It was an interesting decor in a weird place.

Of course going to the courtyard doesn't improve the place. It's messy yet seems strangely fitting. It's hard to give an accurate depiction of the place. It just exists like that. Whatever works at this point.

Then there is how easy this all is. Never believe in too easy, unless you know the ones on the other side are idiots. She doesn't assume that. So she assumes it's sort of a trap. She is fine with that. She's fine dealing with what will pop out. She doesn't quite summons her scythes yet, but she's ready if she has to, observing the area.

[ABIGAIL]
Silence greets her. Long silence. Dramatic silence. All is silent.

Still silent.

..Still silent.

Then suddenly: "ARE YOU COMING IN OR NOT! YOU'RE SPOILING MY DRAMATIC ENTRANCE!"

The deep gravelly irritated voice booms out, rumbling loudly from the inside of the monster truck which has its door then kicked open by a massive thunderously huge booted foot.

The rest of the monster mad gear titan then finally begins to emerge. An entrance worthy of myth ..or..well maybe not that. He just sort of climbs out, emerging without seeming end in sight to his immensity before he's finally revealed in his full monster mechanic glory, using the truck to prop himself up slightly as hangs just out of the door and peers across the courtyard towards the visitor.

SHe's seen larger so to speak. Zog himself, an ogre from Outworld, has about a foot on Abigail but therein lies ther ub. Zog is an ogre.

Abigail is 'human'. How can a 'human' be so huge.. And strong. The very ground lurches from his pressure as he finally hops out of the truck. Bare chested, torso streaked with grease stains and his face mostly hidden by a welding mask with a cracked visor in some sort of flasher film parody. Not that she'd get the references. His overgrown beard bristles from behind the mask though, huge jaw working in annoyance.

"Aint you got any sense of drama, lady?"

[ARIASTRA]
"Silence. The good old silence! Until it's gone. Seems she has upset someone. It's ok. She's not in a hurry. Apparently, she ruined this person's fun though.

Then the truck's door is kicked open. That's no way to behave with a truck, but here it is. She observes the massive boot, soon becoming more. That's a massive man. Almost as big as that guy at the soup kitchen. It's nothing to be shameful about, although it's still second place. Though this one looks human, so points for that. I mean she's not nearly as impressive physically. One could say she's painfully average if not smaller.

"Sorry if you wanted to do something scary. I mean you're big enough as it is, right? So you're the surprise or trap? Or are you a present? That would be so cool if you were a present, just because I decided to come here." She chuckles.

She goes back to being serious. "Are you supposed to stop me? Hurt me? Just trying to see what your purpose is here." She seems to be taking it well, all things considered.
l

[ABIGAIL]
Silver medalist is still a medal. Second place, sure, but he does make up for it by the fact that despite their differences his arms are probably just as big as Zog's and that ..he's human and that massive. There's sheer weight and then there's physique that comes with it and Abigail's physique is..well he -is- known as the Superhuman Hot Rodder for a reason.

"Yeah, well, I thought I'd try. I figured.. Abigail's Horror Movie! Sounds lke a good thing. I do a halloween theme back at my shop so need to try something new."

He reaches up and lifts the welding mask up and then tosses it back into his truck, revealing his brutish junkyard dog like features where visible above his bristling Bluto-esque beard.

"Listen lady. I dunno. Alright? I got some of the low down and you ask me you're all crazy. Especially Juri. Damn."

That said he laces his fingers together, knuckles now cracking with a sound like boulders splintering and tree trunks cracking. HIs muscles bulge, sinew creaking audibly like industrial strength sinew and it's from mere casual exertion. He speaks as if nothing is hapeening.

"But this -is- our territory so like..you come crossing over into it then I can't much let you walk away without something for your trouble.."

He lets his colossal arms drop to his sides, sufficiently warmed up now as he starts approaching with heavy footfalls..snatching up a lead pipe as he passes a pile of tires and nears the open gate.

"So..way I see it. You stay where you are..we're good. You cross this line.."

he drags the pipe along the cement infront of the entrance, scoring a groove in the process.

"Imma have to file a complaint.."

[ARIASTRA]
He looks like he could hurt. She has seen men with some big equipment, but they were disappointed when it came time to use it. Hopefully, Abigail could deliver with arms so big. "When I think of Abigail's horror movie, I think of Christine. If what I heard is true." She chuckles. "I am Ariastra. Nice to meet you face to face."

She watches as he exposes his face. She almost asks him to put the mask back on, just for some fun, but she decides against it. She needs to be at least partly the adult here. "Well, I am just here because a girl from another team got kidnapped by that Juri. I would rather be here with them than let them have to handle you on their own. Do you know?

She gives appreciative nods when he cracks his knuckles. That was loud. "Just one question. You're not all loud with no substance right? You're actually strong and all? Asking for a friend." She starts walking closer after she asks that.

Then he makes a line in the cement and tells her she can't cross. "What kind of teacher would I be, if I didn't keep you occupied while my students do what they gotta do? Yeah?" She continues to walk and puts a whole foot in front of the line. "You're going to have to file a complaint. So with how big they are, you can be all up in arms.

[ABIGAIL]
"Kidnapped?"

Either he doesn't know the full story, wasn't told the full story, was told something else, didn't pay attention to the story or..knows good and well what's going on and is pretending to be surprised. Give him an oscar.

Truth is..he may actually know abit more.

"Huh. So that's what you think eh? Well..if she aint on your team what business is it of yers?"

He notes teh foot crossing the line and lifts the lead pipe up...not to strike.. But instead his fist tightens around it and it begins folding and compressing inward as if he were balling up a wire hanger with one hand.

"Yeah, listen lady. It's nice to meet you also but I was hoping for a crack at that Zog fellow m'self...not you."

He finishes balling up he pipe and tosses it over his shoulder.

"Last warning." he adds, seeing as only one foot has crossed. "You still got a chance to back out and let the kids sort their own problems out. Kinda the point of training is to get real practical experience and not be bailed out all time..."

[ARIASTRA]
"Kidnapped." She nods her head. She observes him. Signs point he doesn't want to be here or fight really. But now they are both here, so it would be a shame to not have some fun.

"You know, maybe if you hadn't come out, I would have left. I am not even a big fan of Coco right now." She sighs and smiles. "But you look fun. So We're going to do this one way or another, ok?"

"I've had a crack at Zog, and I am still here to talk about it, no? Don't you want a crack at the woman who had a crack at Zog?" She frowns. "Way too many cracks if you ask me but." She seems interested in the display of strength as he abuses the steel pipe. "Well, you had a crack at the pipe. Well done!"

She sighs. "I appreciate all the chances you are giving me reall., I just want some action since I bothered to come here. On wheels at that." She brings her other foot in. "I am all in now, and we're not playing poker." Two emerald green scythes are suddenly in her hands. "Come, big guy, teach little old me why I shouldn't be here. Then I will show you why I am right where I am meant to be." She gives him a wink.

[ABIGAIL]
She's pegged that much about him correctly. Abigail thinks this whole thing is a crock of nonsense but A. there's no sense trying to talk sense into Juri and B. there's no sense trying to talk sense into Juri.

Plus there is the C. part where Juri might have a point..

He emits a rumble of annoyance though her comment on having fought Zog and lived to tell the tale does finally get his interests up a little. But thre's something else there as well.

"Oh yeah? What's yer probelm with Coco?" he asks.

"Thoguh maybe we should just get this over with. You can always tell me after I finish beating the information out of you."

No sooner has he finished speaking does Abigail widen his stance, bring his arms closer to himself as if he's about to pantomine doing a bear hug...and then he flings his arms out wide while rumbling out a loud, "VROOOOOOM!" Making a sound of an engine revving up by slamming the pedal staight down to the floor.

His body reddens. A burning hue like that of an overheating machine. Steam billows from nostrils and ears and his body ..enlarges. His muscles swell, his physique engorges and his shadow rolls forward across the waiting ancient fighter like an emerging thunder cloud. His very garments seem on the verge of splitting as his monstrous form piles on more and more titanic sinew. "It's time for MAX POWER!!!"

[ARIASTRA]
Right now, Ariastra thinks the only fun in this situation is Abigail. Besides, she came here because of this. If there was a big gun protecting the place, Ariastra would occupy it. There is. She will. It's as simple as that. She can't think of any of her students who could handle him. Besides, teachers need to have fun too.

"Coco has done a bitch move after a fight was done. Where does honor go?

Then Abigail goes all Vroom, and red. His muscles tighten. "Oooh! All that for me? Max power? Thanks, I am honored."

Then one moment, she's on the ground a bit away from Abigail, and the next she's in the air in front of him. If he can feel Chi/Magic. He would feel it from her doing that. Then she tries to impale her scythes into his sides. If she manages to do it, she then lets electricity course from her scythes into her opponent's body. When she's done, she removes her scythe. At that point, whether she succeeds or fails, gravity calls her back to the ground as she lands gracefully.

The attack hits. Electricity surges into the behemoths body. It trembles his sinew, roars up his form, crackles thorugh his teeth and out of his eyes and mouth..

And he keeps coming. He senses the magic and the chi. Aware of it even if he's no talent with it. There's something else surging in him as well. A bothersome bit of it welling up that he can't quite idnetify why it's there and where it's coming from..but it races into his fists as he lunges in with footfalls that send the ground shaking and the earth rocking with each successive steps.

His body bears down on her, arm pulling back before blurring forward with a sudden thrusting forward punch that distorts the air itself with its incoing force.

[ARIASTRA]
The first hit to the immortal. There that at least. In the long run, it's what she bets on. Keep the pain going. Sometimes it can be a distraction. Of course, it doesn't stop him right now, but with enough, she knows she can.

But now she has to think about retaliation coming her way. She observes him, he's tightening his muscles a little more for what's coming next. It's also fast. Logic would say she should block this. But with the extra force in the blow, she doesn't feel it. Instead, she decides to move out of the way.

And out of the way she is. Not a moment too soon, as the punch looks like a freight train almost. "Phew, you're putting in your all. That's good. Thank you.

She is ready to go back on the offensive. She brings her dual scythes together, making a single double-bladed scythe and preparing herself. She moves in position and swipes at his massive legs to trip him. While she does that, she created an icicle of chi on the ground behind him. If she somehow manages to trip him, her plan is for him to fall on it.

The bigger they are, the harder the fall, or something like that.

[ABIGAIL]
It's like a tree trunk was just hurtled through the air. Abigail's arm comes twisting around as he pivots from his previous attacks momentum and brings his body around in a full rotation to move into the path of Ariastras movements.

His gigantic arm comes thundering downward and then back up again as his legs shift positions to avoid the swipes and his arm finds her instead. A thunderous backfisted assault that arcs from the ground, skywards, with thunderous impact blistering through its assault.

"Just warming up!" he thunders, big grin on his face.

[ARIASTRA]
This was interesting, as she didn't quite expect the agility Abigail demonstrates as he moves his legs out of the way and instead backfist her rather hard. Sending her high in the air to show the power and impact of his assault.

It even seems like she might be gone, or at least she will crash hard on the ground, with how high the hit sends her upward. But instead, one moment she's somewhere in the air the next, she's just above the ground and touches down on her feet. That's going to do a heavy bruise for the moment.

"Well done." She says as she separates her double-bladed scythe into its dual version, again, "You hit hard." She says as she brings the left scythe into the air, and a lightning bolt strikes it. Electricity courses and crackles through her whole body. It seems to power her up. "Bring it. Now it's starting to get fun."

COMBATSYS: Ariastra screams and a lightning bolt strikes her from the sky. Her eyes are now crackling with electricity for a moment.

"So you onna them ...mumbo jumbo..psychowhatsit..super magic girl whatever types.." grunts Abigail as he begins bearing down on her even as the lightning roars down and races through her body. Tendrils of electiricty still crackle on his form, bristling thorugh his unshaven beard and up o the top of his frazzled maple-leaf mohawk. He doesn't seem to pay it any mind as the ground shakes with his impending approach.

"What'd Coco ever do to you anyway? Sounds like you're just using that as an excuse to get into a fight. If ya wanna get treated like a demolition derby ride, all you needed to do was ask!"

He is indeed deceptively fast. He's lumbering when he moves but his assaults come blisteringly quick as his inhuman and inexplicable strength drives his great mass onward like an incoming semi truck.

He pivots as he lunges in, spinning around in place once he gets close to bring a colossal arm looming in at her as he goes into a full rotation. Should he hit, he continues on and his other arm spins in, going for a one two strike with an uppercut hurtling in following the backfist attempt.

I am an old bitch who had time to learn quite a few tricks yeah. She nods her head and watches him. He proves to be faster than anticipated, after all.

"Coco thought it was a great idea to injure and humiliate my protege after the fight was done. So I don't care much what happens to her per se, but I mean, what's the fun of any of the students fighting you? You would crush them. So you have me instead."

Then, as he attacks, she decides to try to block it. This is a very bad idea, but perhaps she has seen a lot worse in her time. Anyhow. She blocks the backfist enough to not go flying, but the uppercut makes her disappear in an instant as she goes up in the sky. Leaving only behind a trail of blood from her nose and mouth. She might be done for. That hit hurt nastily.

But as she starts coming back down, she teleports herself right to the ground, more blood dripping. "Oof, good hit." She spits blood for good measure, her face messy after this. But she uses her magic, to heal her body. When she is done, her face looks much better. "Ok, give me more than. Go right ahead. You intrigue me." She breathes deeply.

"The 'fun' is that life aint always fair and real fights sometimes are gonna put you up against folk stronger then you. I've faced lots o'folk that I don't got shame in admitting them being stronger then me. ANd I lost to them! But I made sure they remembered Abigail's Scrap Metal and got their business cards!"

There's a life lesson -somewhere- in there..but he seems rather sure of himself at least.

He does frown, lightly, as he takes in the description of just what Coco did. "That explains some things.." he muses to himself..while still continuing his approach, following after Ariastra like some sort of trundling kaiju that's only half invested in everything happening. At least..at first. When he takes note of the healing his brow wrinkles, his nose scrunches and his face sets into a look of mild curiousity and approval. "Huh. You got some tricks up yer sleeves.."

And then he's on her. He's so huge that the crossed distance can be decptive. The length of his arms and the size of his hands such that he seems to sweep in from further away then should be possible. A full on issue of perspective just due to the scale of him. His colosal hand reaches forward in an attempt to hook his hands around her face and seize hold of her. "BUt it's time to go HIGH OCTANE!"

"It's fine, if you beat me here today, you beat me. Life has put me in all types of fights. To me, you are but a child. But don't get mad. In age, almost everyone is a child." She has no problem with him per se. It's just a friendly fight so far, even if intense.

"Yeah, Coco made a lot of people upset, to say the least." She nods her head, "I have more tricks up my sleeves than a barrel of monkeys." She chuckles but stays at the ready.

She keeps observing. This time when he comes at her, again she's no longer there, he's grabbing at thin air. "Sorry." A voice says from his left side. "I would rather not."

She prepares her attack. Her dual scythe together in the double one like earlier. Normally she would feint an attack to the chin, but he's too high for that, so she directly goes for his leg thigh, tricking to stab it with one end of her scythe.

[ABIGAIL]
It's hard to discern what happens next, at least at first glance. He's far to large and slow to even pretend to attempt to get out of the way of that and he doesn't seem primed and positioned properly for a true defensive block. The scythes seem poised to strike home with all of their sorcerous glory..and strike they do.

They are just..stopped. The behemoth tensing his physique, rooting himself against the ground and pushing back against the incoming blades with an almost primordial earthen strength that turns his body into the true immovable object. One might almost imagine him tanking a car slamming into him as the ground itself cracks from the pressure. Without such fortitude there's no doubt her assault would have been fairly devestating and it's chancey if he can pull it off again.

However, sensing the momentum shift, the Mad Gear mechanic presses his advantage but lunging forward and leaning into the attack. He brings one hand up, behind Ariastra in an attempt to try and lean in and prevent her from having an easy avenue of escape by corralling her closer to his body. His other arm comes up, fist balled up and then looming right infront of her where it holds its place...and then a singer finger flicks up albiet with the potential force of a battering ram behind it.

there are days, you just want to have fun, and life makes you look like you don't know what you are doing. It's fine. She's used to this., So it's surprising how he just stops her blade by tensing up, but she stays cool about it. No sense in getting angry. She wanted a fight. She got it, and now she is on the bad end of it. "Well damn, ok then."That's pretty impressive, had been a while.

Then he even manages to grab her, he keeps her in place, and she's not quick enough to teleport before the finger sends her on her merry way straight into a wall. Now certainly, she is down for the count.

No. She stands back up again, her whole body hurting at the moment. "That's all you got? I am still standing." She smirks and teleports herself closer. She does look like a mess. I mean Abigail has been doing quite a lot of damage. Good thing she is immortal. She takes a deep breath, focusing her inner being, and watching him. "Come on man. Give me more."

"Girl, you're crazy."

Now Abigail is not a neophyte at this. He's a mentor for a reason. He knows good and well the momentum of a battle can change in a heartbeat but it is equally clear to him he has her on the ropes and shoudl the fates not intervene she's in a possible world of hurt.

"Looks to me that, for all the calling of everyone around ya a child, you still got some growin' up to do. You know being old is just a number. I know plenty of immature 'old people' and mature and settled 'young folk'. Maybe you want to think about tha before asking for 'more'.."

The ground rumbles as he stomps and stalks closer towards her. He notes her intensity but caution and being guarded may be just as dangerous as going in full steam ahead..so..

"You want to push it past the redline? Let's go!"

And with that he charges in, the earth shaking violently with each successive step as he rumbles out, "BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM@" with each footfall and shockwave of his impacts. Once close enough, he lunges a massive arm back and then sweeps it in towards her intending to throw her off balance by striking the ground hard enough to violently shake it in preperation for a follow up grab--

She can't help but laugh at this. "Oh, I like you, Abigail. You're a breath of fresh air. You're also right. Age is just a number. I stand corrected. But I have my reasons to be asking for more. Alright?"

She's still laughing. She can't help it. She's amused now, despite the pain she is in. "Yes, I want to push the redline. Come on babe. You can do this.

Such strong steps, the ground shaking, the shockwaves. And then the sweep of his arms. She decides to strike now. Her body can take it. She is sure of it. She charges her scythes with electricity and spins them as she crashed into his arm, feeling the impact, but she uses it as a jumping point to attack his face and body, as she spins her electrified scythes. She uses them to rip through anything she can, leaving nasty slices in her wake before finally falling back on the ground. She is breathing deeply.

"Not quite done Abigail. Thank you. I might be overeager, but I want to feel all you can do is all." She watches him, the electricity slowly leaving her scythes.

[ABIGAIL]
The blades and the electricity rip into him violently. Jagged storms of summoned power that crackle visible gashes into his exposed torso and burn scars into the wounds and up and down his mountainous body. The grease stains smoulder and scald as the heat of the energy dances across his body and Abigail roars a throughly loud and epic:

"YEAAAOOOUCH!!!"

The giant staggers backwards. Stumbling and nearly falling clear over as he attempts to put some distance between himself and the immortal warrior. Electrical energy drags behind him and criss crosses up his form as he finally stumbles into a tower of spare tires and sends them tumbling every which way.

"Ughh...alright FINE."

It seems that -now- he's waking up, "You wanna make this a deat heat, eh? Let's see how much VROOOM your engine REALLY HAS!"

He shakes his head, jowls wobbling wildly before he suddenly brings his massive arms up..and then down again. Another thunderous "VROOOOM!" escapes him as his body once more turns red, wildly inflating with sinew and muscle once more. Steam billowing from his ears and between gritted teeth as his monstrous most muscular pose and red hue truly casts him as more ogre then human at the moment. "Let's go!"

So he's powerful again. She's fine with that. She's going to push her advantage right now. She doesn't mind pushing her body beyond where it can go.

She gets hit by a lightning bolt as she throws one scythe into the air. It seems to charge her a bit as well. Then she jumps toward Abigail and tries to impale her other scythe into his chest. If she succeeds, a bolt of electricity comes from the scythe in the air, and stretches to her other scythe to strike the Abigail's would. At least she's trying.

"RRRRRGGGH!"

It's a more proper roar of pain at that one, unlike before which had vaguelly cartoonish implications but still hurt like hell.

Regardless of how one judges the sound, it hurts.. but not enough to put him down. In fact..he seems to have quite abit more to give.

"Here we go!" he roars, bringing his massive fist up..and then swinging it around at her in a wide arc which is then followed by another fist and then another and then another in a rapidly increasing series of strikes that each come faster and faster like a barrage of machine guns firing off. Should the blows land, the force will lift her higher and higher until he ends with a double fisted haymaker of strike that starts low and roars upwards as his deep voice bellows:

"Abibibibbibibi-gaaaaiiiiiiiilll PUNCH!!!!!"

COMBATSYS: Ariastra fails to interrupt Abigail Punch from Abigail with Fantastical Destruction.

"Yeah I know babe, I know." She nods her head. At least she's leaving some marks.

Then he is ready to attack again. Made clear by his 'Here we go.' She tries to power through with a move of her own, but as soon as his fists hits her, she is stopped. She goes higher and higher, until the haymaker makes her go flying into the wall again, and this time she's not moving a tthe moment. It was a very hard series of hits. She's outcold, until her body heals itself. Abigail won that bound, definitely. Though she thinks he might remember her for the slices and such. Her mind idly wonders if she bought enough time for her students before going completely dark for the moment.

"Ugh."

Yeah he didn't much like those slashes and electrical burns. Someone much less sturdy would have long been on the ground but that doesn't make the hits she landed hurt any less.

He eyes her from a distance, waiting to see if she's going to get back up and when she doesn't Abigail just grunts, "Juri, yer gonna have to do a little more explaining then what you did earlier about this Coco.."

He's got no interest in taking on another student in need of an attitude adjustment or even having her around. Buford's already a handful.

"I guess I'll have t'get the tea a little later. Nice job lady! But you ran out of gas before you crossed the finish line!"

He knows she can't hear him right now but he still gives her a two fingered salute and then moves towards his truck to wait for her to eventually wake up and the events on the inside to run their course.
