Description: Three teams: Shingo and Ramon, Malin and Shinobu, and King by herself. In the end, Shingo brings his team the victory. (Winners: Shingo and Ramon)
Despite it being summer, Taiyo High is very much open for business. Mostly for summer classes and summer activities and for today, SNF matches. It's lunchtime, so again the term Saturday Night Fight really is a misnomer. For the rest of the fight let's just call it Saturday Lunch Fight. The large Dome Arena is packed with people ready to see a bunch of kids and a luchadore beat the crap out of each other. Their cheers can be heard throughout the arena and would be echoing about the place had the ceiling not been opened on this beautiful day.
Down on the fight floor, Shingo is beside(?!) partner Ramon. A big change from last week where the Mexican was his opponent and Mai was the boy's partner. Today it seems that the ninja wasn't able to make it and Shinobu has taken her place to be on the team with Malin. Both girls whom Shingo has met before. The variable for the match, King, also gets a wave. He hasn't had much interaction with the Muay Thai fighter but knows her from the Pao Pao, "Good afternoon, ladies! Let's make this a great match!" He greets them with all smiles. Turning to Ramon, he then says quietly, "So. How are we going to do this?" Shingo is bouncing on his toes to finish his warm-up.
The jello-wrestling champion beside Ramon is given a glance, before the hispanic observes the people present carefully while rubbing his chin. He then raises his finger to Malin, pointing. "I'll take her, esse. You get the other." A gesture is thrown towards Shinobu at this, before the one-eyed fighter sidles to the side in order to face his present victim. "Don't go easy on me seniorita, okay?" is purred out, but he does keep a half-eye upon King warily. Given he can't spare a complete one, that's the best way to do it, right? "We'll worry about the ole Goddess of Muay Thai afterwards."
Malin shows up semi-fashionably late, after having had to push her way through some of the kids hanging around to watch the showing and swans her way across the fighting floor and blows one of those annoying gum bubbles of hers as Ramon points her out," Cha," the little blond offers, doing her best looking-down-the-nose thing from her diminuitive height," Hope you don't mind getting squished by a girl, funny man."
Shinobu gets up from the folding chair she settled into, and hefts it up. As she walks along from the sidelines, she folds it out again, setting it down at the 'starting point'. And then she sits down again, folding one leg over the other and then resting her hands on her knees. Her head rocks back and forth a little as she hums, waiting contendly... with her typical casual quality. Almost as if she were settling in to watch more than actually fight. "Hey, Shingo.", she says, raising a hand and smiling widely, before looking over to the Mexican wrestler. She furrows her brow, as if remembering him from a time long past.
To be honest, King wasn't quite sure she'd make it in time. Her car decided to take a nosedive on the freeway, but, lucky for her, one of her staffers saw the tuxedoed bouncer and picked her up. Having arrived in the dome, however, she gets to her place and looks her opponents over. Hmm. Let us see. Whom shall be her first target? Choosing one, she smiles, then offers a gentle wave to the two teams. "Looking forward to this," she says. "Should be most entertaining." And how.

A simple nod is given to Ramon. He's willing to let the older man call the shots for this match. To Shingo all 3 of the opponents are friends and he'd have a tough decision to make on which one to start off with unless they attacked him first. Good thing Mister Lucha Libre is there to guide the boy. His target given, Shingo says simply with a smile, "Right. 1, 2, 3, 4. Shingo is...the first one to go!" He leaps forward with excitement on getting this fight started. This has to be the biggest match he has been in at SNF for the longest while now. Time to make the best of it, "SHINGO KIIIIIICKU!" Yabuki jumps forward at Shinobu with that very familiar kick of his that's been known to seriously increase one's chances of feeling pain.
The hispanic merely continues to face Malin, not quite sure what to make of the bubble-chewing girl. He's hopping from foot to foot lightly, shrugging his shoulders and then gesturing for her to make the initial attack. Curious to see what she's capable of, more then anything. "You need help dropping one of these pinatas, just give me a yell, okay?" is asided towards Shingo, but he doesn't appear nearly as lost in the battle. More enjoying the theatrics for now...

Most of those present have probably been exposed to Malin's unusual form of combat before, and aren't likely to be surprised by the little red yo-yo that suddenly appears in one of her hands, being lazily bobbed as she waits to see what Ramon might be up to. The smile that he gets when he gestures for her to go first is impishly full of mischief. There's another couple of somewhat speedier bobs before the little blond whirls about and unfurls the yo-yo at full speed, it's quartet of nasty little blades sliding free of their housings as it streaks towards the patiently waiting luchadore.
Shinobu sees Shingo coming, and pauses before kicking off... and flipping over the back of the chair, as she suddenly and swiftly brings it up with a *spang!* as the kick connects with the metal seat. The vibration shakes her pretty badly, and she slides back, recoiling from the blow. Then, her hand flicks over the back of the chair, tossing up one of her distinctive blue bubbles. Then, like a tennis player, she slams the explosive bubble one-handed with her oddly chair-shaped racket!
As Shingo starts his countdown, King takes a step to her right side, leaving her left toe pointed on the ground. Tracing a lazy arc in front of her with said toe, she snaps her leg in as he sprints forward, her fists raising in front of her with palms out and knuckles forward. Though she's not the target of his attack, it is the start of the bout. Best be on your guard, no?
As her four opponents draw in for combat, she keeps herself on the sidelines, watching their attacks, preparing and waiting. Deeply inhaling, she lets her senses drop the surrounding area and become enveloped only in the fight... No distractions. Zen. Or something.

Normally kicking a chair hurts. In Shingo's case he's practiced kicking so much that whenever in the zone for his technique he almost feels no pain in the leg whatsoever if people use odd objects to block. Such is the case when Shinobu raises her handheld object. Shingo lands on his feet just in time to raise a single arm across his body to block the make-shift tennis bubble headed his way. It splashes against his defending limb with minor damage. Not even shifting his step back. More like a gentle touch. Total opposite of what he redirects to Shinobu. She still has that chair in her hand. Shingo dives forward into a roll at the girl, "Sorry if this stings, Shinobu!" At a little less than a meter's distance away from the girl, Shingo pops up with an outward swing of his elbow to rise up into the air with a spin, "Oriyaaaaaa!" He evens himself out by extending his fists out to the side upward which may have the added effect of striking Shinobu again if she got lifted. Afterwards, he lands on his feet into a crouch.

But the moment that the yoyo is hurled towards Ramon, he's burst into a run towards the smaller girl. Arms pumping, teeth brilliantly smirking, he ducks beneath the whirl of metal before grasping the string. Hurling it aside, the newly-returning weapon diverts and gouges the ground, likely throwing Malin off-balance unless she wants to get hit by her own weapon. "Little girls shouldn't play with dangerous toys!!" is called out, before he tries to place his foot upon Malin's abdomen, then /lance/ up a hellish backflipping kick, enough to probably kick a normal person's head off, before then landing in a crouch. "Ole!!" is called out, and he then immediately starts to circle the younger girl. His style might be flamboyant, but much like Malin understimating is deadly.

Malin's not so fool as to keep hold of the yo-yo when it's yanked, though it doesn't stop her from being thrown off-balance by the action with a wordless little yelp of annoyance. The crimson-clad blond doesn't attempt to run away, though, instead she tries to plant both her feet and let her crossed arms take the brunt of the brutal attack instead of her delicate little chin," Ah-yah!" she says after he's landed, shaking out her arms," That /hurt/!" well, no, really? Did she think it was going to tickle? She's not about to give up so easily, though, turning about to face the circling hispanic with a little more caution for the flashy man's skill. She takes the moment to allow her hands to get their feeling back, rather than simply leap at him again.

Shinobu sways back dangerously, weaving out of the way of the attack at the risk of her balance. As she does so, she then jabs forward with the chair wildly, missing her foe by a pretty decent margin. But then, the force of the blow swings the chair back open again, and the legs swing out towards Shingo. Intentional? Well, that's hard to say - the motion is a bit too quick to tell easily - but she does look surprised!
Not attempting to injure anyone seems to have paid off in the first go-around... King managed to remain ignored and hidden for the most part, with the other four pairing off on their opponents. Good. Makes things far easier to throw a wrench into. Looking around, she finally spots her intended target, and smiles. Wrenching herself around, the unofficial Goddess of Muay Thai starts to bring her leg up, her foot flashing with blue chi as a ball of the energy builds. Rocketing her leg up in a roundhouse kick, so hard and fast she's forced to leave the ground, the building chi unleashed at one of her opponents to the tune of, "Venom STRIKE!"
Her target? The one most likely to be the most dangerous to her. She's watched the man easily avoid damage and cause it quite thoroughly. Ramon, enjoy.

Whether it was an accident or not really doesn't matter at this point anymore. The chair does swing open as Shinobu stumbles back and catches Shingo right in the ribs as he was about to bring an elbow down on her to knock it away. Again her attacks aren't all that damaging to the tough young Yabuki. But he has to watch out for them. Those little hits could start piling up and be his undoing. Time for a change in tactics. What he's doing isn't working out the best for him. So he steps away from Shinobu rubbing his struck ribcage thinking of what to do next. A quick glance given over to Ramon, Malin, and King.

The incoming flash of flame is almost not noticed by Ramon, but he manages to spin towards the girl and lift his forearms. It blasts him back a meter, and his teeth grit as he then dances about a second. "Oww! That stings!" He throws a glance at King, but appears more worried about Malin for the time being. Can't allow her to get too comfortable, now can he? Darting forward, the Luchadore tries to get much more close and intimate; By twisting around to grasp her from behind by the waist, and leap up in a spiral before suplexing her into the ground. Very hard.
Shinobu grins toothily, and says cheerfully, "Good job, Mr. Chair!" She then slams it down, and swings her leg high before slamming her foot down on the chair as she leans over it, looking at Shingo. She pumps a fist towards him with that wide smile, apparently enjoying herself. She doesn't seem to concern herself, however, with the rest of the fight raging on behind her.

Good thing to keep an eye on Malin, beyond a doubt, though he manages to grab and suplex the little teen quite viciously, she was almost expecting it, and goes with the action, striving to endure it. The reason it's always advisable not to lose sight of her becomes apparent when she rolls up onto one knee and produces a pair of short cattle prods seemingly out of thin air with which to stab at the high-flying luchadore and give him a nasty little shock for all the scuffs he's put on her nice, clean clothes.
Well, let's be fair. She was more than happy to have Ramon do nothing more to her than shoot her a glance and a comment about the little present she delivered. However, that does not mean she's not willing to be feline and change her mind. Changing her tune, after all, is in her best interests... Damage them as they're damaging one another, let them ignore her so she can swoop in for the kill. Or something.
Repeating the actions she had just undertaken, she whips herself around not just once, but twice, sending a nice double dose of chi trailing after Shinobu. "Double STRIKE!" is shouted to give at least a little friendly warning. Posing in the middle of battle isn't always smart, mmkay?
Oh ho ho. Shinobu thanks the chair and smiles at him? What is a boy to do except smile right back with a grin and a thumbs-up of his left hand. He's turned his attention back to his opponent-at-the-moment after making sure that Ramon doesn't need his help. Which he doesn't. Repelling an attack from King as well as managing to keep up the offensive on Malin. This just means that it's Shingo's turn to pull his weight on this team. "Your body is..." Shingo executes a quick hop forward at Shinobu that goes into a deep, long step into her guard, "Wide open!" Twisting his body hard, he swings in his right hand with a hook punch. One of these days there will be hue of flame around that hook punch. In the meantime, he'll settle for it hitting.

The jab of the prod hits Ramon right in the stomach, despite a token effort to evade. He spasms, hands waving wildly to either side, before managing to stumble backwards sizzling. He grimaces in pain, two black holes exposing his ever-hard abs. Now grilled to well done. "Agh!" Ramon really does sound more annoyed by anything, smoothing his hair carefully before driving towards Malin anew. "Time for a spanking!!" Which he actually tries to do; Going for a low sweep, trying to drop Malin face-first over his lap. And then he'd spank her, very hard. Enough to actually be an attack, before kicking her away. There's Lucha Libre for you, ladies and gentlemen... It's all BDSM in the end.

Time for a wha..? Malin's eyes get very large, and more than a little worried as she attempts to puzzle out exactly what on earth the luchadore means by that, her little prods being hastily shunted away somewhere within the voluminous depths of that form-fitting outfit of hers in favor of, of all things, another one of those blasted yo-yo's coming out, there's no real wind-up, this time, the little blond thumbs the blades into place and launches it straight at the big man's chest, to no avail. The result, well, is already known. The poor little teen gets yanked over Ramon's knee like a very naughty little school-girl, and can only thank the fact that her skirts too tight to hike up far enough to give the audience a thrill when she's /spanked/ of all things, in the middle of a battle, admidst plenty of flailing and wailing in protest and disbelief. It's almost too humiliating to get back up again, but the little blond does so, beet red all the way up to her hairline and staring at the luchadore indignantly as she rubs her aching heiney.

Shinobu gets ready, taking her foot off the chair as Shingo rushes her once more. As he punches, she brings forth the chai again, defending... before being blindsided upside the head by the first fireball, then blown off her feet as the other lands in her back, sending the chair clattering to the floor. Tumbling away, she gets back up, and she stares at Shingo. "Eh?... how did you do that?", she says, completely disregarding King. "You've gotten pretty strong!", she says, looking surprised. A bit single-minded, apparently. She raises a fist, and then jumps at Shingo. As she nears, she then starts to throw out a flurry of punches so fierce it seems to even suspend gravity a little as she punches downward! "Yayayayayaya!"

And even attacking has proven itself useful in being ignored! Most excellent, captain. However, there is still a vast discrepancy as to the strengths of the two teams, and she needs to get them even. She may not be a Chaos Agent, but working as one sure helps her out in the long run.
Eyes turning towards the men, she once again focuses on Ramon. That spanking... That's outta line. Rushing forward, she leaps into the air as the luchadore kicks his opponent away, "Tornado..." flinging a series of spinning roundhouse kick-spinning back kick combos at his face, hoping also that the eyepatch hides her movements until the last moment. "...KICK!"
"Do what?" Shingo looks confused. As far as he knows all he did was punch her. If she means the double helping of projectile that she just took to the head, then it definitely wasn't him. Helping her sort out the details falls to the bottom of his priority list when she comes at him with her rapid-fire punches that seem to almost blur in his vision. So it should surprise Shinobu when to deal with that attack all he does is sidestep and crash his elbow down on her upper back as she comes at him to help her land on her feet. Though in this case he probably helped her to land on her face, "GECCHU!"

Sadly, Ramon has no disadvantage as far as his eye is concerned. He notices the motion in the side of his vision, and whirls around just as the onslaught of kicks is begun. Diving beneath them, he rolls to his feet before making something of an aggravated snort. "You just wait your turn to dance, seniorita. I'm more then willing when I'm done here!" And then he hops towards Malin, dancing nimbly side to side before arcing his forearm forward in a vicious blow. It's actually surprisingly non-aggressive, and would be more effective then something flashy to that effect. "Ole!" Mixing it up, he is.

Malin throws up her hands when Ramon throws the punch at her, cushioning the blow with her forearms, which are no doubt beginning to ache by now. The little blond's still standing, though, and aside from a queerly triumphant grin she doesn't seem about to be squished quite so easily as she attempts to latch both of her little fists in the front of Ramon's outfit and bring up her legs to his chest, the intent being to kick out with both simultaneously like a cartoon kangaroo and then hand-plant back-flip away from him to give herself a little distance.
Shinobu gets slammed down, going chin-first to the floor. She lays still for a moment, and then suddenly grabs the mat with her hands, flipping up into a handstand as she spins about several times with both legs, twisting about quickly enough to stir up a small vortex of air. Then, she springs off the turf towards Shingo, and slams out a hard punch with her final revolution, adding momentum to the force of her punch. With the blow, she cries out, "Take this!"
Irritation crosses King's face for a moment as the luchadore evades her kicks easily. He is quick, and that will prove to be an issue. For now, though, she nods and turns her attentions elsewhere. "Looking forward to it, 'ese'," she says, looking over to Shingo and pausing. Setting herself into her stance, she calms the irritation out of herself, focuses mind and breathes deeply. Time to watch for a moment.

Take what? That slow punch coming at his face that she telegraphed fifteen minutes ago. Nevermind that the fight probably hasn't even been going on for that long yet. She telegraphed it that much. Giving Shingo all the opportunity and time he needs in the world to plan out his strategy. Which is very simple if you think about it. Simpler in execution. As Shinobu comes at him, Shingo shuffles his stance back to watch out for the kicks. Then as she throws out the punch he reverses his direction to charge at her head on. Or so it would seem. The more experienced fighter planting a foot down and pivots out of the way. Another elbow strike coming down on Shinobu as she flies by. Shingo throwing all his body weight into this one. Mostly by accident. He slipped when he pivoted. But who is he to complain when he uses Shinobu as a cushion? Offering a quick apology for landing on her he pushes up and puts a distance of two meters between them. Again he eyes the battlefield to see how it's going before flicking his over Shinobu. Gotta keep his eye on the opponent.

Well, Ramon's love of children is better demonstrated as Malin makes herself close. The fists grasp on Ramon's spandex, but he actually grasps her right back; And then he tries to grasp her into a vicious hug, nullifying the kicking aspect as he squeezes with every ounce of strength he can manage. Before then whirling backwards and trying to deposit her on the ground with a >SLAM<, forearm shifting up to grasp her by the neck instead. "See? Hugs make everything better, seniorita!" is laughed, regardless of success. After all, first he spanked her, then he glomped. Whatever happens, Ramon is totally victorious.

There's another squeak from Malin as she gets /glomped/ by Ramon in ways that probably remind the little teen of Jabba the Hutt trying to lick Leia, and from the 'ewEWEWEW' expression that screws up the little blond's face, it's no doubt obvious. As he attempts to slam her, she attempts to kick out with her full strength, but damn if she just can't get her feet planted, and can't manage to dislodge his arm, and generally just fails to do anything other than get crunched into the ground like a 45kg sack of potatoes, viciously hard. There's much coughing and spluttering from the girl on the ground as she thrashes about," Dirty old man!" she squeaks around the arm on her neck with all the strength she can muster.
Shinobu gets knocked down as she slumps over, and blinks, looking up at Shingo as she pushes up into a sitting position. She just stares at him, looking shocked. She then pauses, and then says, "It's decided...", getting up. She then holds up a fist. "... you're going to be my sensei!", she declares, giving him her Very Determined Look. And serious! The exclamation mark is practically a part of the word. Then, her neck slooooowly turns to look towards Malin. "Huh. Why are they fighting?", she questions, as if finally having started to gather up some spare clues.

With Shinobu's declaration, King hopes that it'll throw Shingo enough that her next attack will blindside him. For, after all, he's got the most potential for being injured at the moment. Rushing up behind, she taps the Kusanagi-ryuu student on the shoulder, hoping to gather his attention long enough so he can see the feet incoming as she flips back into a handspring. Her feet slam towards the student, hoping to drop his guard long enough for the follow-up to take effect...

...Nope, no beans. The onslaught is not continued, as doing so would jeapordize her stance. "Nice."
No, seriously. How does Shingo end up in these situations? If it's not one thing it's the other. Mind, this particular situation seems to be the best out of the most he's gotten himself into most recently. All that's really happened is that this odd spaz of a girl has declared that Shingo will now be her sensei. Her teacher. He's flattered to say the least. "Huh?! What?!" Shingo has to blink a few times to make sure he heard her right. The brief pause almost ruining his advantage.
Danger-sense tingling! The camera zooms in to Shingo's eyes and switch to a widescreen view as they narrow. The attack is too quick for him to cleanly avoid it. But he can still get his guard up. Barely. Shingo hopping back with his arms crossed in front of him to connect with King's handstand kick. Landing he grins at her compliment, "Thanks, Miss King. But like Mister Ramon said, we'll get to you soon enough." Facing off against the French women, Shingo suddenly dashes off back at Shinobu and takes to the air. His body aiming a basic jump kick to her body. Not head or face. Body. He doesn't hit girls in the face.
Well, Ramon managed to get out of that rather well. He's managed to squeeze and grasp Malin out of all her attempts otherwise, and still looks brisk and energetic. Although Shingo and the hispanic appear to be clearly dominating; But that can change, right? Probably not. "Well, okay. Time for your nap, girlie." And then Ramon dashes towards Malin. Before snapping up his foot in a loping motion, trying to hook his toes around the back of her head. The aim is to then send her stumbling forward, as Ramon whirls around and tries to deposit one final world-shattering >SPANK< to end the fight. And get all of King's money if they lose. Win-win!

Malin jerks out her electric prods when Ramon comes in to try and attack her, but the little blond is slow because of the pounding she's already taken, so it probably comes as no surprise when she's a fraction too slow on jamming the nasty little things into him and teaching him a lesson about girls and their tazers, and gets humiliatingly tossed into the dirt. Yep. That's all she wrote, folks, definitely time for the little blond's nap.

Shinobu notices the attack at the last moment, guarding against it, and blinks. She stares at Shingo wordlessly, lowering her guard. Not the smartest move, but who can tell what's going on through her head? (A raging spaceship battle, if you must know.) "You're still fighting?", she says, as if actually surprised, ahd rubs her head. "I thought that was over." Mind, she isn't completely unguarded. In the back of her mind, her more subconsious fighting instincts still work away, analyzing the situation she's consciously rather clueless about.

Sure, sure. You'll get to her later. But now it seems that later has come around, with Malin falling to that vicious slap to the behind. King is forced to snicker a bit at the strangeness of the maneuver and it's resultant faceplanting by the victim, but that doesn't mean she's going to stand still. In fact, she ratchets around slightly before unfurling yet another kick-based projectile, sending it screaming at the one-eyed luchadore. Really, now. Ending it with a spanking was rude!
Landing lightly on his back foot after the kick, Shingo again shuffles around Shinobu. Shifting from side-to-side to make sure she doesn't get a clear shot at him. Not that she appears to be taking any immediate action against him. He arches a brow at her question, "No...not yet." He chuckles and shakes his head slightly at the girl. "If you want it to be over though..." Shingo catches Ramon spanking out of the corner of his eye and frowns slightly. He has to agree with King's sentiment. It wasn't very polite of him to do so. He'll bring it up at the next board meeting. Shingo twists around with a spinkick at Shinobu's gut, "Teya!" The point of impact being the sole of his sneaker.

Yet another flash of heat is struck towards Ramon, and once more he manages to raise his forearms with a yelp. He absorbs the majority of it, stumbling backwards and then wincing noticeably. "I /SAID/ wait your turn!!" he calls out towards King, shaking his head as if exasperated. Reaching down towards Malin, Ramon then grabs up her yoyo before hefting it a moment and hurling it as hard as he can towards Shinobu. Better safe then sorry, right? "Take her down, amigo! We got this fight in the bag!!"

Shinobu gets beaned with the yoyo, and then turns to Ramon. "Eh? Why did you-", before getting kicked by Shingo hard s she's distracted, getting knocked to the ground. As she lands, she winces, and mumbles something before suddenly collapsing entirely, seemingly out of the fight.

Wait your turn? Wait your turn, you say? Okay, fine. She'll wait her turn. Just don't expect it to be pleasant when her turn comes. Taking a step back, she plants herself in her stance, bringing her inner energies into focus... And causing her clothing to flap dramatically in the process! A low growl excapes her lips as she prepares herself even more for the upcoming combat... Because, lord knows, it's gonna be brutal.

King! You're the next contestant on the fight is right! With Shinobu supposedly out of the picture, Shingo and Ramon are now able to focus all their attention on the restaurant owner. She was fretting about her turn coming up, right? Shingo is ready to accomodate her. A quick nod is given to the fallen Shinobu and he takes off, "SHINGO KIIIIIICKU!" Why does he feel the need to start off with his signature move, one will never know. Except for him. He knows why he does it. It's to kick the ever-loving crap out of someone. Though he may not always mean it like that. With King being a woman, he angles his foot away from her head to strike her body instead. If you don't what this move looks like by now...then you need to be hit by it a few more times. Or you've been hit with it too many times already.
"Okay, let's mop this up!" Ramon muses, before twisting towards King and giving her a firm salute. The idea that Shinobu is a horribly cheap faker doesn't immediately come to mind; It's been a long time since he's fought Whip, although it's far from uncommon in Lucha Libre regardless. Simple enough; There's another person to deal with first, and that has priority. Dashing towards the once-tomboy after Shingo's assault begins, Ramon snaps out a hand for her shirt whether the Shingo Kick impacts or not, trying to grip roughly and yank her around to grasp from behind by the waist. Any intimacy in the far from prude gesture would be lost when he attempts to then leap up, twist, and suplex King into the ground with every ounce of energy he can muster.

Faker? Well, no, she actually passes out there. Or comes damn near, anyway. Then, she stares to stir, forcing that grey area around her field of vision back. "I said... don't interrupt a fight...", Shinobu says as she presses herself up, her arms shaking with the exertion. Struggling to her feet, she glares at Ramon as she rises. It's partly the pain, but part of the trembling is anger. Reaching down, she picks up the yo-yo, not taking her eyes off the Mexican wrestler for a moment.

Oh, guess it is her turn. As Shingo and Ramon both turn their attention towards her, she sets herself in her stance and prepares for the worst. The overhead kick bearing Yabuki's name is countered simply by stepping towards it, bringing the point of impact on her shoulder, and on Shingo's thigh instead of his foot. One down.
However, the attack by Ramon has another effect. That shirt he grabs is hardly the strongest material ever. In fact, her shirts are notoriously weak, as it's nigh impossible to find a lightweight tuxedo shirt that offers strength and breathability. Thus, instead of being torn around, her shirt itself is torn and the collar comes off in the luchadore's hand. The wrenching of her shirt is mightily uncomfortable, causing the blonde to exclaim, "Agh! Dammit!"
With a snarl, she looks at Shingo, eyes narrowed. "Here I come." And she does.
Wrenching herself backwards, she brings her feet up and into the face of the Kusanagi-ryuu trainee, flipping back on her hands as she does so, springing back to her feet before launching herself at the young man with a flip, attempting to drop her feet on him with great force. Landing, simple as it is, is just the beginning as she unloads upon him the great wealth of kicking attacks she knows. Repeatedly, she lances out with sidekicks, roundhouse kicks, back kicks, snap kicks and the like, in various forms and degree of strengths. Assaulting with everything she has, every ounce of strength, she again attempts that first flipkick, hoping to drive the young man into the air for an assault of her Tornado Kicks. The Illusion Dance.
It's her turn to dance, after all.

Thanks for giving Shingo some forth of warning this time, King. It sure came in handy for him. His attack in conjunction with Ramon's apparently has irked King. And Shingo is just that lucky that he gets to be the target for her agression. Lucky him. Both arms go up to protect himself from the barrage of kicks directed at his form. Skill, luck, and sturdiness all coming into play allowing Shingo to grunt through the assault. The multi leg strikes of King edging him back several feet as she presses on with each passing blow. He survives without too many bruises and smiles at King, "Nice yourself, Miss King."
It's then Shingo catches Shinobu up and standing. oO(What the...? She's still in this?)Oo This just won't do. Shame on little Shinobu. Fooling poor Shingo like that with her tricksy ways. It's always a female trying to trick a guy isn't it? He has nothing against her, but this is a fight that he doesn't plan on holding back in. An explosive dash is all that's needed to close in the gap between him and Shinobu. It's not enough. He's not exactly the fastest being in existance. But he makes up for it with a forward hopping deep lunge into his hook punch, "Your body is wide open!"
Well, damn. It looks like Shinobu is still alive; That's somewhat annoying, but nothing that Ramon can't handle. "Stick with the broad, esse. I got this." is commented, hand waving towards King mildly before Ramon then bursts into a run, before diving in the air towards her; His intent is to tackle her to the ground, and hopefully finish her from the fight once and for all. "Bonzai!!"

Two-on-one - how fair is that? Well, it just goes to show how much they fear her! Or, at least, how irritating her rise from unconsciousness is. She gets battered by the punch, stumbling back, and then slammed to the floor. Then, suddenly, she bolts upright, throwing both arms into a storm of punches at Ramon. "I told you - don't..." She then rears back, throwing all her weight and force into a deeply unbalanced haymaker that practically throws her to the ground. "... interrupt!"

Busting out the move that made her famous yet again, King kicks out another Venom Strike to trail after Shingo like a lost puppy. A lost puppy that's an avatar of pain, yes, but still.

Puppy of pain it is. Shingo is confident that Shinobu is down for the count this round and turns to answer King's question. "Of course not, Miss King! Just want to have our full attention, that's all!" Shingo smirks. The Venom Strike of hers hits him as he charges forth. He still smirks. There was no effort to lift his hands to guard or anything when he ran through the chi missile. He meant to use it as cover. She'd never expect him coming at her -through- her own attack. "Burn her..." A foot steps firmly on the ground. The step is then used as a the starting wind-up of what looks like a giant punch. It all comes out so fast that it almost looks like his Aragami Mikansei. Except the movement is different. With the Aragami he simply lunges in. In this technique, as stated before, he winds up and swings his left fist in a short hook punch for King's torso, "SHINGOOOOOOOOOO!" Shingo pictures his fist igniting from his burning spirit and engulfing King with its heat. King will just see a fist about to hit her.

And Ramon merely leaps to his feet, twisting around as the hailstorm of punches begins. They obviously hurt; He's struck multiple times, before he even begins to get away. But then he's struck in the middle of his back by a haymaker; Which actually makes him stumble towards King considerably faster, teeth grit. He manages to just barely get behind Shingo; And after his assault, before King would fly away and impact the other end of the arena, he'd try to grab her by legs. If she dodges, well, he'll just knock her down anyway. And then, drag her into a standing straddle. "TIIIIIIGEEEEEEEEEEEER!!!"

Act now! And you two can have seven punches for the price of one! King gets nailed by one punch. Six more to go. Shingo reverse steps into another similar punch. Then comes around with his other hand to strike down at her with four strong right hands. Right into him ducking in and using his left hand to swing a backfist using his whole forearm into King's gut to send her careening across the arena. Or she would if Ramon didn't grab her legs.
And then, Ramon does manage to grab King and knock her over just at the finale; She'll only get a single spin of sweet Ramon loving before he slips and lets her fly early to tumble away -- but still harshly, given the ineria of the Shingo punch. Shingo hits a lot harder then he thought, and the poor girl's like butter in his hands. But aren't all women in the end?
Some women would consider this overly harsh, having two strong, strapping young men trying to beat the everloving crap outta them. King, no. It's a challenge. And, lucky her, it's a good challenge. Shingo hits like a mule kicks... Hard, fast, gracelessly. Reeling from each successive blow, King does her best to attempt to get out of the way, but is unable to... So instead just steels herself against the battering and accepts her fate... But as she flies backwards from the final blow, she is strangely snagged by the luchadore and taken for another little ride. Shifting her ankles in Ramon's grasp, she breaks free after the fist spin and goes hurtling through the air. Luckily, her landing is far better than it could have been, and she barrel rolls along the floor a few times before regaining her footing. Dammit.
Rushing forward, King suddenly takes to the air, leaping over the top of Ramon and spinning in air to land behind him. "Miss me?" she says with a smirk before flipping back in a back handspring, hoping to break any guard he might have before showing him a few kicks of the trade...
Forgetting Shingo isn't a good idea, King. Who's to blame you though? You're being ganged up on by two strong fighters in their own right. It must be hard on who to focus your attacks on when you've got two coming in almost every time. Oh well. Shingo isn't going to waste the opportunity the Goddess of Muay Thai has given him. She's going to go after Ramon? Fine with him. He waits for her to get the right distance away. Wait for it... wait for it... Now! "SHINGO KIIIIIICKU!" The boy takes a big leap into the air and contorts his body to bring the roundhouse kick down while her back is turned. Sneaky. Maybe. Her own fault for turning her back on him though. Look at the pretty Shingo rainbow kick!

...And again, the assault discontinues, King hopping back and out of the way. Kinda. What's that behind her?
Ramon merely lifts his forearm while twisting around, deflecting the incoming kick without any apparent difficulty before skipping backwards. Glancing at his arm, he then lifts both eyebrows towards King with a rather fiendish expression. "You kept me waiting for a love tap, seniorita? Come on!" And then he swiftly moves forward, weaving to the right before twisting through the air in a tremendously fast manner. His attempt is to take out King's feet a moment before the Shingo Kick, so the latter can then strike her out of the air. Even then, the only real way to dodge it is to jump straight up. Lose-lose for the poor girl. "TEIKYUU DROPKICKUUUUUUUUUUU!"

Shingo's kick luckily comes with a vocal alert, thus giving the Muay Thai practicioner time to drop to one knee and driver her hands up, the Kusanagi-ryuu fighter's ankle landing squarely between crossed forearms. King is able to smirk for a moment before suddenly taken out of the grin by the luchadore's spinning dropkick. Given her current positioning, it takes her out of her crouch and onto the ground... And, also, right next to Ramon as his maneuver loses steam.
Without a second thought, King attempts to roll atop the one-eyed man, to straddle him before he can get up. "Love tap?" she says with a smile, before trying to crack her elbow against his temple and follow up with a straight uppercut that will also be her ticket up, the momentum of which should allow her to do a forward roll back onto her feet.
Hrm. So the two adults want to do adult things while the kiddies watch, eh? They sure enough got a lot of cheers and hoots from the crowd as King gets on top of Ramon. Shingo? He facepalms. "We don't really have time for this, Mister Ramon." The boy breaks into a speedy run at the couple rolling around on the ground and reaches down to yank the woman off his partner. Probably to Ramon's chagrin. Time for that later, lover boy. Shingo has some money to win, "Teya!" He's strong, but he's bad when it comes to throws. So the technique is a little off.

And indeed, Ramon does appear to want to keep King right there; For each hand snaps up, grasping either wrist with a rather massive amount of strength. He's grinning wildly, and probably has far too much enjoyment on his features given the fact King is trying to kill him. But he only has enough attention for certain aspects of this confrontation, after all. "Another love tap? You jostled me, but in this position I'll forgive you!" And although she probably manages to writhe away, Ramon then slips downwards, right between her legs. Whisking to his feet, his hand flashes out to try and grasp her around the waist before leaping up and suplexing her once more. "TIGER NECK CHANCERY!" OF TWINKY POWER-HIT MATCHENDING DOOM!

King's efforts to break free from Ramon's grasp both help her actually wiggle free and also to avoid Shingo's attempts at pulling the free. Which, given the circumstances, she would have preferred. But, hey, can't win them all. So, instead, she finds herself suplexed and placed back on the ground in a rather painful and not gentle way. OOF.
Having been deposited and released, the Goddess of Muay Thai rubs the back of her neck painfully after rolling back and out of the way. "For chrissakes," she mutters, her head throbbing in pain. "Won't you sod off?" Again mustering her energies, she whips around to send a kicked ball of chi towards that grinning face of Ramon's. Stop smiling, dammit.
Darnit. This is why he should work on his throwing techniques and not emphasize on striking techniques only. It only makes sense to focus on what you're good at. And he's good at hitting things. He should get back to doing that tout de suite. By choice he'd rather try his luck with working on these strange throwing techniques he sees some of his other fighters using all the time. Ramon is doing a remarkable job of keeping King focused on him. Shingo charges in from off the side to grab at one of her arms. When he gets a hold of the limb he manuevers quickly behind her to twist the arm against her back. Applying pressure. Maybe he can get her to tap out.

Well, there are some things you just shouldn't do. Mocking King when she's capable of amazing Vulva Strikes is not one of them; He's struck dead in the face, and with a terrible explosion of chi Ramon is knocked sprawling to the ground before rolling to a stop. Singed, he then pushes himself to his knees with trembling hands. Eye wide, teeth grit in determination, Ramon then charges towards King with a blaze of crimson energy. Whether Shingo hit or missed, he'll be knocked aside mayhaps a bit rudely. Ramon's intent is to shove King over, and then grasp her by her legs. He looks to be running on nothing but willpower; It's as if he has on black facepaint. "TIGER....!" is growled out, the grand finale.

Ramon shouts out "CHANCERY" instead of "SPIN" and then tries to suplex King before falling over.
Luckily for King, Shingo's skills in joint locks are minimal at best, so she's able to slip free with little more than an indian burn for her troubles. Ramon's attack almost knocks her over, but his attempt at a suplex falls flat, doing only one thing... Succeeding in tearing a few more buttons off of her shirt. Christ almighty. What is with men and their desire to rip her shirt off?
Hopping away from Ramon, the blonde gives the redhead a quick glance before turning to Shingo. "Just you and me now," she says, smiling. "Is it my turn to dance again?"
That's the signal. Once again, the onslaught of kicks that is the Illusion Dance is turned on the Kusanagi-ryuu student, feet aiming everywhere that can cause pain and snapping out at speeds the camera is barely able to follow. This may end it, this may not. All that matters is that it looks good.

It does look good. It looks as good now as it did when he first blocked it before. Another fighter is knocked down and then there were two. Smiling back at the older woman, Shingo confirms her statement, "Looks that way, Miss King." Coincidentally enough, it answers both questions or statements or whatever is she just said. Kick after kick after kick after kick is superbly defended against by Shingo. He's good at hitting things and good at getting hit. Almost like some sort of tank-like object even. If you would go so far to call him as such. King doesn't have to worry. Shingo won't be making any effort to remove her shirt. He's still a kid almost. What he does make an effort to do after being bumped aside by Ramon on his last ditch attack is reach out for arm again after her kicking storm. Well, the joint where hand meets arm via the wrist. A sharp twist is given to the side to have two effects. One is to cause pain, maybe for her to submit. The second effect is to bring her down to the floor on her back, "Ora!"

Twisted around by the wrist, King's body moves exactly how Shingo wanted it to, causing her to flip over her arm and land, unceremoniously, on her back. However, once there, she is able to easily pull free and roll out of the way of any follow-up, and onto her feet. She's breathing heavy, her eyes are having a hard tim staying focussed, but she's still up and still fighting. The battle has yet to end. To that effect, she launches herself forward, swinging a wide arc in front of her with a roundhouse kick, then following with a pinpoint back kick. "Tornado...KICK!" is the cry, and hopefully... Things will work out.

King isn't the only one feeling the weariness from going this long in a battle. The normal vivacious youth is breathing heavily and even looks slightly winded. King was right. Switching opponents like he did between her and Shinobu spent a lot more energy than he wanted. He's paying for it now. Only thing keeping him going is his own determination to uphold the standard of Kusanagi-ryuu kobojutsu and the fact that if he loses now...after coming so far. Well, it would be a total waste. All that money. Gone. Not that he's in it for the money. Mostly. The pot is a pleasant bonus. Taking a deep breath, Shingo looks over to King with a smile, "So Miss King. Shall we finish this then?" A foot is shifted forward slowly. "It was an awesome fight. You really are good. But you know..." Shingo explodes forward, lunging, "Your body is wide open!" He could've said lots of things there. But he didn't want to be rude to the nice woman. As if hitting her with a right hook punch wasn't rude.

'Shall we finish this, then?' is the question. "Yes, let's," is the answer. As Shingo bursts forward, King does nothing. The fight is over, but she cannot allow herself to just lay down and give up. It's with all the will she can muster that she takes the punch to the chest without flinching, moving only with the force of the punch, which slides her back a good foot.
A moment's pause. A single blink.
Swallowing what's left of her energy, she leaps into the air, attempting to bring her knees into the young man's face as she does, before flipping over at the apex and dropping on him with stomping motions. "Surprise Rose," she says softly, barely audible even to herself. And at the end of things, no matter how they end, she falls on top of Ramon's inert form.

There's a few grunts from Ramon, but then he seems to have a smile on his inert form. Huh. Must be subconscious.
He's worn, tired, weary, bruised, battered but definitely -not- beaten. Satisfaction and joy spreads on his face. He hit her. As if there was any doubt. None at all. Shingo had a feeling he would catch her with the direct attack. What he didn't know was that she was going to stand up and take it like a...woman. Doesn't matter to him. Much like her so-called Surprise Rose. Maybe under normal conditions it would've connected. But in this scenario, she's too slow. Must be from being so hands on with Ramon. Either way, Shingo takes a single step out of the way and watches King nosedive down onto his partner. And the smile on his lips. Hehhehe. Certain that no one else will be getting up to challenge him any further, he drops down to his knees after exhaling heavily, "I did it..." Smiling outward to the crowd wondering if he fell as well, Shingo holds a hand up high to settle any doubts that he's done for as well, "We did it, Mister Ramon!" The Mexican is unconscious, but so what? Shingo then stays there waiting for the medics to take care of them all.
COMBATSYS: Shingo takes no action.

COMBATSYS: Shingo has ended the fight here.
Megumi applauds from her seat on the benches. She's not launching into any wild cheering...it was hard to take specific sides when you like both of the remaining fighters, plus one of them was fighting alone from the beginning. Wouldn't be right to go cheering for a specific one of them, due to those balancing factors. But applause is definitely called for, regardless of how that match might have gone. This is definitely a case of Well Done by King and Shingo.
