Description: Kyo's teammate versus Kyo's clone, with Kyo's mo-- er, Vanessa, as the impartial mediator. (Winner: K')
The young fighter Kay Dash doesn't even begin make the sort of appearence or even the sort of impact the other two fighters make. But apparently that doesn't concern him very much. He rather unceremoniously paces forward into the ring opposite of Benimaru, taking his Oakley shades off to reveal a rather annoyed and hostile young face. Much of this annoyance was for the most part due to the nature of this sort of fight. Rules and fairness aside, instinct tells K' to attack anyone who attacks him no matter the circumstances, and that same instinct tells him to be quite pissed off when rules against such are in place. He heaves a deep breath, and immediately begins sizing up his opponent. A smirk comes across his face, and for a moment K' is tempted to make a joke about Benimaru's choice of clothing. But then again, can the Beast of Flames really talk?
COMBATSYS: K' has joined the fight here on the right meter side.

It's nice to be involved again. After the last fight that was supposed to take place, Vanessa had lost some faith in the bookings-- now? Now, she's happy enough to stand in as the one to shake things up between the two combatents. At the various cheers and, consequently, jeers she gets from the crowd, the redhead offers a dismissive wave and a demure smirk in return for the crowd's bellowing, her eyes appraising both K' and Benimaru in turn.
"Alright, boys," she says, either of her hands raising. "You know the rules. Whoever attacks first gets me on their ass-- whoever attacks -me- without provocation is immediately subject to getting curbstomped by both me and their scheduled opponent. You keep your eyes on one another and we'll have no trouble with any of this. I'm allowed to make use of whatever the hell I want in terms of attacks, so long as it keeps things balanced."
Taking a couple steps away from both of them so that her distance is equal to the two men, she slides one of her hands into her pockets, the other raising slowly. "Ready?" A glance towards them both, before the resultant "Fight!" is said at the drop of her hand.
Benimaru, on the other hand, had no problem making a comment of K''s fashion, and a rather playful smile forms on his lips, "Are those Oakley?" he asks is recognition, though god forbid if he ever wore that brand himself, "They work for you, with the tan and all.. The white hair isn't doing it for me though," his fingertips crackle with electricity and he runs them through his hair, drawing upward and as if on cue again a scream of fangirls are given, the model giving a light chuckle afterward.
Blue eyes shift to Vanessa, giving a small nod of his head in understanding, "Ah, so then we get awarded for attacking first is what you're saying," he replies thoughtfully, another nod given, seeming a bit distracted at first- Almost comically when Vanessa gives the go, the blonde model vanishes. Or rater streaks forward at K' to deliver a quick knee to the gut, "He-ya!"

Great, another goddamn loudmouth. To Benimaru's remark, K' doesn't really reply. Instead, he simply thinks of how much better life would be if nearly every professional fighter in the world would be so much better to deal with if their trachias were removed. And even as Benimaru moves with that lightning fast speed, K' barely even reacts. Instead, he simply tenses his muscles to brace the attack, takes the blow right in the gut without moving an inch. It's amazing how durable and sturdy the young man is. When Benimaru finally reaches him, K' just gives him a horrible, blood-chilling glare, before he pulls back his hand and launches it forward to drill Benimaru right in the stomach. But strangely enough, he stops his fist mere inches from the model's stomach, and then throws all his momentum forward to make the punch that much more forceful.
Tsking lightly at Benimaru's response to her, Vanessa sizes up K's own actions in order to make an attack. Waiting for his assault to come to fruition, it's only once the outcome is decided by Benimaru's reaction (or retaliation) that she moves in for a quick one-two combo, a manuever that's equal in strength to what's been delivered agaisnt the white-haired, wayward clone.
Assuming it connects, her proximity allows her the ability to swipe out with a sharp left hook against the model's jaw, while her other hand comes up in an equalkly swift uppercut, the both of which are meant to stagger rather than bowl over completely. Not exactly the nastiest attack in her repitoir, but once again: equal weight, equal value.

Benimaru just.. Smiles to K', though if the model knew what was going through the clones mind. He'd probably still be smiling. Seeming to be a bit impressed by K''s ability to withstand his kick, the blonde mumurs, "Ni- oof!"
Guard not moving quite fast enough to block K's blow, doubling over and left quite open for Vanessas attack right across the face and forcing him to stand again after the uppercut with some nasty sounding cracks.
He staggers back in suprise, and immedietly thinks that wasn't as nice as it could have been, the throbbing was his jaw instead of his heart. Far from deterred though, he pulls back his fist and then lashes back at K', said punch then bursting with an electrical charge, a light blue wave of energy surrounding it, "Raijin ken!"

The cold stare on the Beast of Flames is replaced by an arrogant and amused grin. His heart warms whenever he sees someone getting decked right as they're beginning to talk, be it talking smack or otherwise. But he's also watching Vanessa carefully at the moment, knowing full well that he's next for such an assault. He has the advantage of knowing how she fights before she actually strikes him, though. But then, his gaze switches to Benimaru's recovery, and when the model pulls back to aim a blow he seems to do a disappearing act of his own. His body suddenly turns into a black silhouette, which practically -glides- forward right into the electrical fist but appears virtually unscathed. And this time, he's bringing out the big guns. His glove, that red armored contraption of a glove, suddenly blazes alive with crimson fire, which K' swings forward and ignites right into Nikaido, and then he immediately pulls a leg into the air, stretching it almost vertical in a feat that even a gymnast would be impressed with, to kick that fire right into the older man's way.
Time to double back. The attack that's hit Benimaru is by and far a lot more powerful than anything the model had delivered-- and, as with the last time... it's all about making things even. As with the last time, she waits for K's reaction, and, seeing the dodge, doesn't so much as hesitate. Since she's hardly in danger of being attacked, herself, she has absolutely no problems in giving each attack her all.
Rushing in without any hint of hesitation, the redhead's momentum takes her in close to the whitehaired clone, seeking to meet him as he comes out of his assault on his opponent, as smoothe as that glide is. The methodology? Simple. It looks almost exactly like the last attack she levelled on Benimaru, but there's a big difference-- namely, the hook and uppercut both have bright flashes of ochre energy trailing behind the both of them, the edges of which are somewhat akin to the slicing power of a serrated blade, meant to cut through skin as well as clothing, should the attack land.

Benimaru tsks lightly to himself, K' was quicker than Benimaru had expected him to be, his eyes narrowing when the other man suddenly... Disappears. The real suprise however is the sudden flame that bursts from K', eyes widening a bit, "What??"
That couldn't be what he thought it was. But he doesn't have much time to conteplate it, a small groan passing his lips as he feels the all-too-familiar fire that knocks him onto the ground. But he's not only back to his feet quickly enough, he also leaps into the air, a completely confused expression on his face as he flying kicks at K', hopefully adding to Vanessas combination. But mid-drop he then starts to spin like a drill, eyes narrowed in determination. He had to turn the tide quickly.

The white-haired clone doesn't seem to take Benimaru's surprise much into account. Instead, as the flames suddenly die off his attention focuses back on Vanessa. And it's a good thing, too, as right before the blows knock into him K' does his little black-silhouette disappearing act before he finally reappears well after the chi-infused punches meet their mark. He glares at Vanessa a moment, before shaking his head to himself. But his attention doesn't focus back to Benimaru in time. Instead, he eats a spinning kick right to the face, stumbling back from the force delivered. He can tell his flames have... well, made the man a bit uneasy for whatever reason. Could he instantly recognize them as that of Kyo Kusanagi's? But K' again regains his balance, taking advantage of Benimaru's sudden surprise by again igniting a massive pyre of crimson holy flame, launching it forward, and then leaping into the air, delivering a leaping roundhouse kick to the flames which in turn sends it scorching towards the model! Quite an unusual technique, to say the least.
hat could've gone better. Still, Vanessa can't help but feel a little worried about how Benimaru's faring. This -is- turning out to be one-sided, but she knows the rules better than anyone. The glare from K' is shrugged off with little difficulty, the redhead offering the young man a sardonic smirk by way of immediate response. However-- this also means that she has to level an attack on Benimaru, sizing up the assaults that have been dished out thus far to weigh her options.
Moving in once K's attack concludes, as it's been throughout all of this, the boxer's motions are little more than a low-to-the-ground sprint, her body snapping upwards to throw a heavy uppercut to Benimaru's jaw, the momentum that's put into it showing a great deal of strength-- though it's not nearly as much as she could be throwing at him.

Consider the suprise taken advantage of.. In a sense. Benimaru for a moment is pretty shaken up, but is brushed off.. Somehow.
Maybe it was some sort of fluke, it couldn't have been -Kusanagi- flames, besides, fire was getting more popular. The way the next attack is delivered, Benimaru then starts to look annoyed, "What the hell??" he shouts, his instincts kicking in, fist again surrounded by the dark and light-blue aura. Electricity crackles and sparks jump as he aims at the flaming foot, "RAIJIN KEN!"
Perhaps it was to be expected that the flames don't go out, and to the model that was nearly nightmareish, his jaw dropping and suddenly his form is alit in flame, he reeling backward but gritting his teet hard, refusing to at the very least keep from crying out at the pain of the flames. Vanessas well timed punch follows, and the model doesn't realize it until he feels another sharp pain in his jaw and crashes once more onto the ground, rolling around to at least put out the fire. He slowly raises to one knee, wheezing as he shakes his head in frustration. Obviously no animosity was held toward the red-head, but this was getting humiliating, on top of horrifying, "No way.." he growls, trying to shake off his fear.
Benimaru has reconnected.
It's at this moment that K''s stance suddenly drops and he's just... well, standing there. He again breathes a deep heated sigh, before he talks for the first time in the match. "... What, is that it? Pathetic! I haven't been this bored in a fight in a long damn time. Now come on. Let's see if you've got some GODDAMN SUBSTANCE!!" the last parts of his speech seem to turn more into an incoherent scream more than a statement, though, as K' is leaping forward and flying through the air, soaring at incredible speeds to aim a HUGE flying kick to Benimaru's pretty face!
Mmmn.
Much as Vanessa could make good of her strength, she can tell that K's speed is definately up there. Nonetheless, that won't stop her from trying. Uttering a light "Sorry," to Benimaru with a light smirk, she adds, "You know the rules," before moving to intercept the clone once his attack has come to completion. The end result is her giving it everything she's possibly got-- at least in terms of laying out some serious damage, or hoping to. While it's not her -fastest- manuever...
...if it hits, it'll hit like a freight train.
Attempting to catch K' first on the side of the head, the rest of the punches come soon thereafter. If he dodges, the manuever will come to an end-- if he doesn't, six consecutive blows come up against his jaw, the trajectory raising slightly so that the last two are juggling his head back and forth between her fists, one last slam of her fist against his teeth meant to send him sprawling.

Benimaru has dropped a connection.
K''s first mistake was trying to aim toward Benimaru's face. He doesn't like things like that, you see. So even amidst panic, he realizes when his money-maker is in trouble. He ignores his opponents words for now, sparks swirling and popping around his slender body, and a well timed crouch lets him evade the incoming attack, "You kidding? It's a dream come true," he murmurs back to Vanessa without even looking at the woman, concentrating on gaining power..
A whole lot more power, hoping the chaos agent can buy him enough time to really let loose. Growling and showing signs of fatigue, the models eyes narrow and the an intense aura surrounds his form, the lightning around him starting to swirl out of control, "No more games," he hisses to K', "I don't know who you are, but I will /not/ let you outshine me too, god dammit!"
Waiting for the opportune moment to strike, the model then races in and attempts to grasp K by the neck and hoist him in the air, eyes widening as not one but two tremendous bolts of lightning crash down on the pair. On top of that he sends even more voltage through his hands, electricuting the clone and with a final yell flings him off to the side toward the crates. Assuming his first grasp connects.

"Ow---agh-d--dammit---AGH!!" the young 'clone' yells in pain as each of the painful blows strike right on his face, finally sending him stumbling right into the pile of boxes previously mentioned. In an almost comedic fashion, K' attempts to regain his balance on the pile of boxes only to knock right into it and resume his stumble, eventually falling flat on the ground. But as he gets up, he can tell Benimaru is making his way with nothing but ill intent on his mind. And so in desperation K' gets back up and quickly ignites a wall of flame around him. It's only partially successful in repelling the model, and a good bit of electricity courses right throughout his entire body. It's only after most of the blow has been dealt that K' manages to shove Benimaru off of him, panting heavily as the remains of the electric barrage sizzzle around him. "... Finally, you got the damn message. But it's too late." And with that, K' takes out the pair of Oakleys he stowed away in his inside pocket and casually launches them at Benimaru. "... catch."
In spite of the fact that the attack doesn't land, Vanessa is forced to answer Benimaru's assault with one that's equal in weight-- as it's been throughout all of this.
Frowning a little, she steels herself against her better wishes and immediately moves into gear, her timing perfect with the particularly insane assault that K' is bound to go through should the attack land. If it doesn't, she'll be waiting to catch it.
That in mind, the redhead seizes hold of the blonde's shirt and -immediately- starts to lay into him with a -powerful- blow to the side of his jaw, a pause leading way to four more hits that come in rapid succession, each and every blow far more poignant than anything she's thrown yet. All told, if she had it in her, he'd be faced with much more than just this-- but she hardly has the adrenaline going to pound him with everything she'd got, as he did with K'.

Once the glasses hit the mark, K' uses that horrifying speed of his to dash forward, laying a barrage of vicious attacks straight into the model with ferocious intensity. "WHAT'S WRONG?!" he yells, although for Benimaru there's probably plenty not going his way. The barrage continues horribly, and eventually K' blings fire into the mix, burning through Benimaru with searing attacks before the climax. He leaps backwards, and then slides straight into Benimaru, colliding right into him with a MASSIVE explosive fiery punch!! "THIS IS THE END!"
Benimaru's jaw was already swelling enough, but thanks for the offer, Vanessa. Noticing Vanessa's reach, eyes shifting quickly back and forth, he steps backward from the womans reach, and then crouches to slip under and past her. Glasses in his hands, he first looks perplexed, but then suddenly curses as he realizes he got distracted from the real deal, each blow from the rageing K' meeting its mark. His body going slack from the lightning quick combination, he just slumps forward, steam sizzling from his singed body and the final blow seems to finish the job quite nicely.
Benimaru goes flying backward and crashes onto the ground, flopping then onto his stomach like a rag doll. It would seem he's down for the count, but the model twitches, but doesn't move afterward, the light sparks popping the only signs of life afterward.
Man, that could have gone better.

And when the assault finally ends, K' suddenly... calms. He again drops his fighting stance, and this time, looks at the fallen Benimaru. True, he was happy that he managed a victory, but... he was really more disappointed. He knew that the model had more potential than that. He could practically sense it. He sighs a moment, and shakes his head, turning his back to the match. "... Another egomaniac with no substance. ... What a bore." he utters, spitting a large stream of saliva mixed with blood onto the ground. And with that, K' digs his hands into his jacket pockets, moves into a slouch, and... disappears, even before he is named the victor. Not a word or even a passing glance is offered to Vanessa or any of the crowd, either.
