Description: Three people serious about the art of fighting. One arena. Sentence fragments. And only one way out: FIGHT! (Winner: Makoto)
Another weekend, another Saturday Night Fight. Like always the stadium is
overpacked with excited fighting fans from all over. These weekly fights the
only thing getting through their otherwise meaningless lives. That's the way
some of them perceive it anyways. The arena walls echoing the roar of the crowd
making it sound louder than it actually is. Especially when it comes to the
small group of fans cheering for their hometown hero.
The chants of his name from his schoolmates and a few others that form his
cheering section this evening are welcomed by Shingo as he finishes his
warming-up exercises. A wave and smile of gratitude sent their way then to the
entire crowd before turning back to his section with a thumbs-up. Sizing up his
opponents tonight he notes that all of them are familiar faces. Good. It means
that he at least knows the basics of each one fights. So there shouldn't be too
many surprises tonight. Then again, the unpredictability of fights is what makes
the whole experience that more exciting. Each of the other fights is also given
a wave and a nod of respect. "Good luck everybody!" Shingo shouts out before
getting into his stance deciding how to start things off.
COMBATSYS: Shingo focuses on his next action.
Makoto hasn't been around for the past few Saturday Night Fights - busy, mostly,
dealing with her dojo. Springtime means spring cleaning, after all - and she has
to do it all herself. But she wants to keep in the public eye, and keep herself
in practice - and so here she is tonight, looking as unworried as she usually
does. She's seen some of her opponents before, after all, and the others? Well,
she should be able to pick it up soon enough. Tightening her belt as the match
looks like it's going to begin, Makoto drops into her combat stance as well;
unlike Shingo, she begins to inch foward toward the center of the ring, but she
doesn't make any attacks just yet.
COMBATSYS: Makoto focuses on her next action.
HeavyD didn't really waste time getting out into the fighting area, having come
in quickly behind Shingo. Taking his place in an empty corner, he takes note of
all the fighters in the ring. All of them, he's faced at one point or
another...though Shingo's the only one he's fought in a one-on-one environment.
He gives a nod to his 'student', while the others get a cursory glance. His
fists rise up soon into his stance and his feet spread for balance. Seeing as
the other fighters seem to be showing caution, so does D!, seeing as he's not
been on the good end of any of them when he's tackled them.
COMBATSYS: HeavyD focuses on his next action.
A slow start. Surprising considering the caliber of the fighters present.
Although it is understandable that no one wants to rush things. This is a
free-for-all and it could go either way depending on who makes the first move.
Of course, the person doing this leaves themselves open to the others. Such is
the whimsical nature of these types of fights. Your enemies will be your allies
only to be your enemy again. Trust no one. A hard concept for Shingo to grasp.
But he's gong to have to for tonight's SNF.
With no one else making the first move, Shingo takes the initiative. "SHINGO
KIIIIICKU!" The cry sends his fans into a loud cheer. Seems that they can never
get enough of seeing his signature twisting kick. The unfortunate target being
Makoto. He doesn't remember too well when the last time he fought with the
short-haired girl and seeks to refresh his memory of her fighting style. The
fact that she's being so nice to edge into the center helps out his decision as
well. Nothing personal.

Makoto continues to inch up forward. It's her usual strategy in these things:
start things off once you get an eye out and never let up. Unfortunately, she's
trying to watch two people at once, and Shingo's mad rush catches her by
surprise; sure, he's yelling, and that's enough time to get her to turn toward
the attack - but not enough to get her to bring up her arms to block, although
she tries.
Makoto is literally bowled over from the force of the spiral kick. She's not
used to getting smashed so hard - at least, not when she can't focus on one
person at a time, which is Rindoukan's biggest strength. Getting back to her
feet and ignoring the now slightly scuffed gi, she refuses to let Shingo escape;
her leg snakes out as she tries to trip him before she delivers a
painful-looking chop, hopefully to his downed body. "Haaa!" Yes, she's ignoring
Heavy D! now - her loss.
HeavyD looks on from behind his fists, seeing that he's been ignored for the
time being. Perhaps that's a good thing, as it gives him time to plan his
attack. He watches Shingo smash into Makoto swiftly with that powerful kick,
knowing how hard that hits. Finally, he decides on his initial target. Feet
shuffle toward Shingo, noted as the most worrisome of the two. As soon as
Makoto attacks, so does D!, an overhand right swinging down toward Shingo in
hopes of tagging him whether or not Makoto succeeds in tripping him.

What goes around comes around. It's called karma. And it can be a real bitch
sometimes. Makoto's sweep hooks his legs and accomplishes the job of landing him
to the floor before he fully corrects himself after the signature kick.
HeavyD!'s over head right punch from behind only serves to expedite the process
of him going down and going down hard. The follow-up chop from Makoto hits him
in the gut like a sledge hammer. What saving him from puking up the day's meals
is his sudden expulsion of breath to absorb some of the shock. Such a
double-team attack couldn't have been better executed had it been planned. And
if Shingo didn't know any better he would've sworn it was. For now he has to
focus on getting out from under and between his two opponents. This is done by
rolling over to the side out of the way and springing up into his stance.
Makoto rises back up after smashing Shingo, taking a breath as she does. She
hadn't expected Heavy D!'s help, but she certainly isn't going to turn it away -
she actually gives him a half-grin as she rises, quite deliberately not punching
him as she does. Grateful? JUst a tad. And now she feels better about the whole
'getting kicked by Kensou when she wasn't really looking' thing.
Seeing Shingo start to back off, Makoto moves to follow him with her somewhat
strange stalking walk - but she doesn't attack. How strange. In fact, she keeps
some distance, making sure to leave Heavy D! a clear run at Shingo, as she
catches her breath. A little early for that, but...
COMBATSYS: Makoto takes a breather.
HeavyD smiles, feeling his fist smash into Shingo quite nicely. Better than
last time he used it on him, anyways. Of course, he readies to press the
attack, but Shingo soon rolls away, leaving him a bit nearer to Makoto than the
schoolboy. He looks over to Makoto. He gives her a nod in response to her
grin, before he turns back to Shingo. Seeing as she's leaving a nice line for
him, he might as well take it. Advancing on Shingo, his feet shuffle toward
him, surprisingly fast despite one foot always saying behind the other.
Finally, once he's in range, he snaps out a swift straight left aimed into
Shingo's chest, no fancy movements this time.

Shingo 1/------=/=======|
Finding himself in the same predicament that Makoto was in just a couple of
minutes ago, Shingo divides his attention between the advancing Heavy D and the
holding back girl. It should be obvious that D! is the bigger threat at the
moment. He's basically untouched compared to himself and Makoto. But he doesn't
want Makoto to have any time to catch her breath. Decisions, decisions.
The question of what to do is quickly resolved when D!'s swift punch flies out
at his chest. The boxer apparently waiting till Shingo's eyes were on Makoto to
make his attack. It pays off though. Shingo stepping back one step from the hit.
"Hey! I thought this was a free-for-all not two-on-one! I must say that it's an
honour to be considered that much of a threat." The youth smiles. Right before
taking off into a sudden dash headlong at his opponents. "I hope I don't
disappoint you!" Shingo thunders forward at D! with a lean of his body to aim
his shoulder at the man's gut. Maybe this will even things up.
Makoto manages to get some air and rest time - Balrog once told her that pacing
herself was important, and she's generally /really bad/ at that. Plus, if Heavy
D! wants to beat on Shingo, that's his business. "Well, if you want, I could
stay out of it," Makoto points out - but she's inching back toward the actual
scuffle, so that might not be happening. She holds her attack, though, watching
for a clear shot at /someone/ - they're too close for her right now!

Shingo 0/-------/-------|
HeavyD doesn't really bother responding back at Shingo, though the smirk curling
onto his face shows he at least acknowledges the schoolboy's comment. Of
course, that smirk disappears as his concentration focuses on the sudden
shoulder slam coming his way. He braces for the impact, trying to pull his arms
in to stop it...however, it's too slow, the charge smashing right into the
boxer's body. It shoves him away painfully...and it seems like D! might
actually keep to his feet, but his shuffling legs finally pull out from under
him, dropping him onto his ass. "Nngh..." He grunts, pushing back on his heels
while his hands push himself up to his feet. Ok....so that hurt. Good for
Shingo. And D! now realizes his problem...focusing on Shingo, he's let Makoto
get a breather, leaving her as a possible fresh threat should he keep hammering
on Shingo. So they want a real free for all, it's time to make it one. "Sorry
about this," he says lowly...before he tries to swing his right arm around
toward Makoto and drive a hook into her side.
The Flaming Phoenix Forger triumphs once again. That little comment Shingo made
gives him the time he needs to gather his senses after the unrelenting pummeling
he was getting. As said before: what goes around, comes around. D! finds this
out the hard way. Shingo grinning when his shoulder shoves into the boxer and
sends him away at Makoto. Let D! be her problem now.
In the meantime, Shingo is going to drop to one knee now. That open-handed chop
from Makoto hurt more than he let on. He holds his stomach with one hand while
the other is still raised defensively for anyone that comes back this way.
Hopefully those two will keep themselves busy for a brief moment or two.

COMBATSYS: Makoto dodges HeavyD's Hook Punch.
It's certainly enough to keep Makoto occupied! As D! shuffles in her direction,
Makoto actually moves into rapid action for the first time today - she hustles
sideways, arms up to block, slowing just before D! starts to swing and sprinting
when he actually does. It's enough to keep her safe, although not by much - it
rustled her hair.
"Sorry for what? This is the whole point!" Makoto holds her range for a moment,
setting her feet just so, before literally sprinting right at Heavy D! It looks
like the object might be to tackle him for a moment, but she pulls back at the
last instant, transferring the momentum to her open hand; she's aiming for Heavy
D!'s torso. And now Shingo got left alone - she's really going to have to learn
how to deal with multiple people some day.

Despite the sudden shift in attack from Makoto, D! pushes forward, actually
stepping into the open hand thrust and taking it dead in his chest. The shock
of it nearly drives him back...but the boxer presses on, instead slipping into a
swift combination. A left hook swings at Makoto's head, the boxer not waiting
for it to hit or miss before he shifts sideways, phasing from view until he's at
Makoto's left side, crouching low as his right fist swings right toward the
karate-ka's thigh, hopefully hampering her for a while.
Shingo is left alone for a chance to catch his breath. Good for him. Whereas
Heavy D and Makoto are really going at it. Common sense tells him to let them be
for just a little while longer so he can better resituate himself. However, the
crowd paid to see a Triple Threat Match. They didn't come to witness a
one-on-one with another one off to the side catching his breath. Shingo almost
swears that he can hear some mummuring from all the cheers and cat calls about
how he's being lame for not doing anything. Which gets him into action. Standing
up, he readies himself to get back into the fray. Well. Almost. That is if his
body would let him. "Darn. What's wrong with me today," he asks of himself,
dropping back down to one knee.

"Gah!" Makoto has never actually fought a boxer before. Their combinations are
slightly confusing for her to deal with, especially with Heavy D!'s weird
sideways movement thing. She manages to block most of them, using her large
hands to block the punches - see, they /do/ come in handy. They sting, though,
and she's not as strong left-handed, so some of those sneak in.
Apparently tired of getting beat on, Makoto literally reaches out with one of
those hands as she finds a break in Heavy D!'s attack, trying to literally grab
him by the throat to stop the combo. She's found that it tends to stop most
things...unfortunately, she can't lift him for long, and if she does hit, after
a brief twist, she sets him down with a grunt. "Stop that!"

Pulling back his arm once the finally hit is blocked, D! starts to shift
back...before he's grabbed around the throat. It's a good thing he's so tall,
or else being lifted like that might be a problem. Pulling at the arm around
his throat, he tries to yank it from his neck...finally, once he's set down, his
right fist swings up from his waist almost instinctively, a cough coming from
his throat as he tries to gutshot Makoto. Should the attack succeed, he'll pull
the karate-ka up onto his fist, into the air...and unceremoniously down to the
ground behind him in an impressive sort of throw.
That is quite the battle going on between those two. Soon to be three. Shingo is
feeling better now. Those tense moments of catching his breath was exactly what
he needed to get to his second leg, so to speak. Standing more firm than when he
first got back up, Shingo watches the two other combatants. His fan section
waving flags and hooting as their hero looks like he's about to re-enter the
contest. A smile on his face and his fists clenched, Shingo waits for the
opportune time to make his strike.

D!'s gut punch strikes Makoto heavily, causing her to make a wheezing sound as
the air is knocked out of her. It doesn't help that he follows it up by tossing
her over his shoulder, either! There's no way she can get out of the way at this
point, so she just tucks her shoulder and rolls with the impact rather than
smashing down in an untidy pile.
Rising up, Makoto takes a deep breath - because she needs one! - before looking
around. Well, she /could/ charge Heavy D! again, or she could drag Shingo back
into the fray. Seeing as she got thrown in that direction, that one seems like a
pretty good idea right there. She pauses a moment to focus herself, hands at a
point just in front of her navel, before she stalks forward toward Shingo. Her
attack is fast and furious - a flurry of punches with the odd kick thrown in,
all delivered with perfect focus and good technique.
HeavyD Grunts, pulling away as Makoto is dumped away and rolls off to find
Shingo. Turning around, he sees her snap off a flurry of attacks at the
schoolboy. Stepping back, he decides to follow the example of the others. Yep,
time for a breather, it seems....

Shingo was looking for the perfect opening to make his move. Randomly attacking
one of them would be no good. He has to choose carefully. Makoto however decides
to choose for him and comes at the boy with a barrage of strikes. Impressed with
her fighting ability he grins even as he raises his arms to intercept and block
each strike. One or two getting through and hitting. "Nice." Shingo compliments
Makoto before ducking to the left and dashing right past her. "Excuse me
though!" Right for Heavy D! "Hey Mister D!..." Shingo shouts out at the boxer,
"Your body is...WIDE OPEN!" A familiar right hook closes in on D!'s jaw.
Normally Makoto would call that an insult - her punches didn't even get him to
pay attention? Maybe she's losing her touch. The rules are a little different in
a free for all like this, though - but she's not going to let him off easy. In
fact, Shingo has turned his back to her, and she's not adverse to taking
advantage of that! Sprinting after Shingo, she leaps into the air as she goes.
Her goal is to literally plant her foot on Shingo's head and push off again,
launching her up, up and away! Or at least a couple feet off.

HeavyD keeps hanging back, even as he watches Shingo blocks Makoto's furious
flurry. His arm is held at his stomach as he heaves a bit. Then...he sees
SHingo swing in, a dangerous hook flying at his chin. Wincing, he knows what's
to come...however, he decides to take a risk. His fist clenches, stepping into
the blow. The smash drives into his jaw, sending him off kilter...but he keeps
moving, the attack forcing him to rely on his left hand now. Stomping after
Shingo, his left arm swings out in a quick hasty cross, before he starts to
follow up furiously on it, a jab here, a body blow there, a hook low, a straight
high, until he finally tries to drive his right fist deep into Shingo's
breadbasket, hopefully driving him away with the attack to finish his flurry
with a flair.

Deciding to pass over Makoto for Heavy D in Shingo's mind was honestly his best
option to bring a close to this fight. Others may not see it that way though and
it has his fan section wondering just what the heck it is he thinks he's doing?
Nevertheless they cheer him on. Even when Makoto sneaking up from behind uses
his head as a stepping stone to clear over both him and Heavy D. Though he
should be thankful to her for that. It's the extra force from being propelled
downward by her head stomp that gets him under Heavy D's assault. Using a
forearm as cover to knock away any stray punches, Shingo's other fist goes down
to the ground. Shifting his balance to the hand, he shoots a leg out and up at
D's solar plexus. No comments for anyone yet. After the kick he pivots on the
anchor hand back up to stand on his two legs.
Makoto lands on the far side of the pair, spinning about in a half-crouch as as
doesn't let up her guard for even a moment. Looks like they're busy beating on
each other...she stays back, although not really /that/ far away from the
others, ready to spring back into action.
COMBATSYS: Makoto focuses on her next action.
The gutshot kick stops D! dead in his tracks, his flurry interrupted before he
can even score a blow. What a waste of energy, it seems. Falling to his knees
from the strike, the boxer grunts and heaves, trying to focus long enough to get
back up to his feet. It looks like fate meant for them to finish each other off
in this match or something. In any case, D!'s not done yet. With a roll of his
right arm, he swings out a swift, powerful uppercut into the air, the arc
releasing a wave of chi toward Shingo, like an explosive went off midpunch.

The burst of chi energy suddenly leaping off of Heavy D's fist catches Shingo
unawares. He totally forgot that the boxer is one of the few that learned how to
incorporate chi energy into their punches. A hand comes up to shield himself.
Even with his guard up though, be it from previous blows or bad judgement on his
part, the attack somehow finds a way through. Shingo winces and instinctively
hops out of range of any following strikes that may come.
Ok. This is where things get interesting. From the scene, all three fighters are
looking bruised if not worn. So Shingo has to choose his next target carefully.
"SHINGO KIIIIICKU!" Or not. Hopping away put him at the right distance for his
next move. That famous spinning jump kick. Going up and then coming down
abruptly in a tight arc, Shingo's leg swings at D's head.

Makoto looks bruised and worn both - but she's fairly good at hiding it, moving
with only a little of the fatigue she feels and mostly ignoring her bruises.
She's had - and fought - through worse. As she has been lately, she stays not
too far away, waiting for the perfect opportunity.
And then Shingo gives it to her. When he attempts his spinning kick at Heavy
D!'s head, she attacks him lower, bringing her left foot up to smash into Heavy
D!'s back. Her teeth grit as she expects impact, her whole body tensing to add
power to the blow - it even makes her scarf straighten for a moment.

The uppercut hits, giving D! something to be happy about. However, he soon
realizes that he's relaxing a bit too soon. 2 swift kicks swing his way,
forcing him to make a hasty movement. The impact Makoto expects never happens,
as the boxer ducks quickly and lets the leg swing over his back...the same back
that gets smashed with the arcing kick by Shingo. Flattening out on the ground,
he groans, rolling away from the two until he's in a good enough position to get
up without having to face more attacks. He groans, body battered now in several
places, especially his torso. Wincing, he tries to think of the best course of
action here, seeing as he has little to go on now. Finally, he thinks of his
plan of attack. Charging again, he aims for the schoolboy once more, trying to
buffet him with a maddening amount of punches and blows, finishing up with that
lunging straight right to the chest again. This time, however, he makes sure
that he tries to direct Shingo toward Makoto, hoping to force a conflict between
them and take the heat off the boxer for a while.

Hey! Shingo has seen this move before from the boxer. It's all those strong
punch combinations that he throws out. The same technique that he used if only a
short while ago. If Shingo remembers correctly, it was that same technique that
he successfully countered with his Moon Elbow. So why not give it a shot again?
Shingo doesn't hold back, remember? Apparently he doesn't cause as he ducks
under to get in through D!'s attack one more time, it slips his mind that before
he had Makoto giving him a 'helpful' push to give extra momentum. The extra
momentum he doesn't have here. Oops. As such, Shingo's face paints a pretty
target for all the fists of Heavy D. The final blow to his chest knocking him
off to the side of the edge of the stage floor. He's still conscious. But he
won't be making an movements to get up. He makes it clear from his grunts,
wincing, and heavy breathing.

Makoto puts her foot down, somewhat off-balance for a moment because she hadn't
managed to hit anything at all. Her gaze reflexively follows Shingo as he goes
back and down and she regains her feet. Well, he looks out of it...especially
after that last hit to the face, it looked like it really stung! However cruel
it sounds, though, better Shingo than her. She's not going to blow it tonight
like she does every other Saturday Night Fight!
Returning her attention to Heavy D!, Makoto stares at his back for a moment,
deciding what to do. She doesn't wait for /too/ long, though; only a few seconds
later, she steps forward again to deliver a massive overhand chop at the boxer,
accompanied by grit teeth. She's literally trying to slam him to the ground with
every ounce of force she can muster.

HeavyD finishes up his barrage, having sent Shingo over to the floor, his left
arm lowered weakly. He struggles to get a breath, feeling his strength slowly
start to fade. This is a problem, as Makoto advances on him not soon after with
that big overhead chop. He strains and tries to push off his legs out of the
attack's path...but unfortunately can't move fast enough to avoid being planted
by the strike. His shoulder takes the brunt of it, forcing him face first into
the ground. He spasms a bit in pain after meeting the fighting floor...but then
drops limp, groaning. Like shingo, he's conscious...but in no way capable of
continuing.
COMBATSYS: HeavyD takes no action.
COMBATSYS: HeavyD can no longer fight.
Makoto hadn't exactly expected it to be /that/ effective. She rises back up,
ready to punch one more time when he does...but as it turns out, she doesn't
have to. Lowering her hands, she lets out a huge puff of air, taking a deep
breath after - she's a lot more tired than she wants to let on.
And with that final blow, the buzzer sounds to end the fight. The announcement
is made and the crowd is in an uproar as always no matter the winner. They just
come here to see people beat the stuffing out of each every weekend anyways. So
the cheers continue even as clean-up begins from the arena staff.
