Saturday Night. And outside the arena, evening had fallen over Southtown, casting the still-busy city beneath the cloak of night. Inside Howard Arena... the stadium was packed to the brim. The ambient din of the crowd fills the arena with it's noise, the lights in the stadium keeping everything well; but those very lights were designed to illuminate one spot in particular. The slate-topped floor of the stage, where the fighters did battle.
"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!" A voice rings out over the PA, likely belonging to the well-dressed man at the edge of the stage. "IT'S TIME FOR THE MAIN EVENT OF THE EVENING!" he shouts into the microphone that he holds lightly in one hand, before pausing a moment to let the din die down. Gesturing flamboyantly in one direction, he lowers his voice, lifting a paper postcard up to his eyes with his free hand. "The first team we have for you tonight is made up of Gen..." A pause, for the scattered cheering. "...and the Killer Bee, Cammy!" Then, after a short pause to let the cheers for that team die down, he gestures with his free hand towards the opposite side of the arena.
"And facing them tonight is Megumi, and..." Admist the cheering for her, the announcer pauses just a moment after the cheers die down somewhat, the announcer adds a few more moments of silence, to add to the effect. "...Ryu!"
As the cheers begin to fill the stadium once more, the Zero Doll herself begins to step up the stone steps leading to the arena, keeping her entire body, but her legs, as motionless as possible as she ascends those steps, attempting to keep her annoyance at being called the Killer Bee down. But upon reaching the top of those steps, she takes a few sidesteps to the side, tilting her head towards the side opposite of that movement as she stares across the way, curious eyes watching for her arriving opponents... she knew them both. This was going to be... interesting.
Megumi did not expect this match. She fully figured on being in some other match on the card, and instead finds herself teamed with a multi-time champion. No pressure, huh? Well, time to get out there. Once Cammy's on her way to the arena, Megumi also marches down an aisle towards the stone floor. She's trying to capitalize on it though, making sure to zig-zag from one end of the aisle to another to 'exchange fives' with anyone who'll stick their hand out for it. It may delay the match a minute or so, but she has one other thing in mind once she gets up to the arena floor.
She steps away from it, going off to an aisle-side seat and removing her wristband....looking, looking...there. A little boy in the audience. She hands the wristband over to him, and /then/ finally gets in the arena itself. Yes, this was definitely an attempt to play the crowd, psyche them up, and so on. But she steps in, and looks over at Cammy. "There ya are. Haven't seen you in a while, y'know? Ever since the deal we made." She's relaxed. Casual. Even tosses up a quick hand-wave to Cammy, definitely trying to keep this friendly.
Shingo has dropped a connection.
Oh, imagine that, Gen crawled out of whatever hole he's been hiding in to put some face time in at Howard Arena. A hole called his journey to find death. So here he is, found placed in a match with a number of familiar faces, smacked along side a crazy robot chick, pitted against someone who's quickly becoming a long time rival. What a way to come out of hiding. Not far behind Cammy, Gen wanders his old bones down to the arena, stepping up into the ring, standing on the edge in his usual stance, sleeves concealing his opposite arms. Cheering, announcement, such things are lost on Gen, reacting little to any of his surroundings for the time being. His blank eyes gaze out across the arena towards his opponents as they arrive, he himself staying carefully motionless once he's in proper position.
The ladies involved with this fight, despite being the two who are already present, do not get any glances from Gen. It is quite clear that he's looking right past Megumi, waiting, anticipating. It's clear there is one thing on his mind tonight, and that is Ryu, a man who was capable of standing up to his talents--and eventually defeating him--in a previous fight. Whether Gen has become stronger or weaker in since then is anyone's guess due to the lack of his presence anywhere that he might be spotted, but one thing is for sure: for a man who's face is usually so cold and bitter, one emotion shines through to the surface for just this moment, calculatedly so. Determination.
Interesting indeed. Tonight's main event certainly has its share of facets, both in the relationships between the fighters themselves... and the diversity of talent and skill represented here. Two masters of their art, men capable of killing, and easily, with their bare hands alone... and two strong wielders of unusual energy, with no lack of talent, and honed skill, in any participant. Ryu crosses down the aisle to the stairs leading up into the arena, ascending them calmly, mind already focused on the battle to come. One which he knows is certain to be quite the challenge... he's fought both Gen and Cammy before, and has seen more than enough to know them as formidable opponents. The elder master of the Assassin's Fist may have fallen to Ryu in the King of Fighters tournament... but that still leaves them simply tied, with no clear distinction as to which might be the better fighter. That matchup alone drives Ryu to give his all, and with Cammy added to the mix, well...
As his bare feet pad to the slate arena, Ryu's eyes turn aside, towards Megumi. He's never fought alongside her, only against her, but he's confident in his teammate's capability. A slow, respectful nod is offered towards the girl, a similar gesture paid to Cammy. It's then that the World Warrior's eyes fall on Gen, meeting the elder master's blank stare evenly, Gen's determination, will for the fight mirrored in Ryu's gaze. A third nod is finally amended, offered to the retired assassin. Ryu's hands lift behind his head, tightening the knot in his headband, before reclasping the crimson sparring gloves covering his capable fists. Drawing deep breaths, Ryu wordlessly concentrates... and prepares himself.
Cammy's curious brilliantly blue eyes follow Megumi's approach to the arena... and linger particularly upon the little boy whom the pink-haired warrior had given her wristband to. Hmm. A question was in her mind, her expression displaying that thoughtfulness clearly as she straightens her neck, and lifts a red-gauntleted hand up towards Megumi, the Doll mimicing the little wave almost exactly. Then it came time for Ryu's approach, Cammy orienting herself towards the World Warrior, staring him directly in the eye as she returns his nod with one of her own.
She did not look towards Gen, and from the looks of things, she was trying desperately to avoid doing so. One might get the impression of a child, who was trying to act casual, as to not clue her father off to the cookie she stole earlier. But in any event... sidestepping away from her partner, Cammy lifts the same gauntleted hand up to the front of her crimson trenchcoat, suddenly yanking it upwards, and off of her body, the Doll sliding out of the garment like a serpent. Snapping out a hand as she finds herself fully freed of it, she snatches it out of the air, and tosses it behind herself, before settling herself in a combat stance, clenched fists held before her, the overdeveloped muscles of her arms tensing as she sets her feet a little past shoulder width, her body oriented between the space between Megumi, and Ryu. Did she forget about Megumi's questions?
"I have been occupied with things that required my attention, Megumi Andou." Cammy states, her tone calm... mostly. It did carry a undercurrent of undeniable excitement, however. "Perhaps tomorrow, or another day, we can make good upon that."

"Why not right now?" Megumi asks Cammy. "This is a match, not a fight. So that's not a problem." She looks back to Ryu as well...he hasn't said anything, but that's fine; she's taking this seriously anyway. No real need to coordinate plans just yet. As Cammy prepares herself, the match is officially underway and Megumi thrusts her palm forward. A small red sphere forms, flying out at Cammy before exploding once it's near her, Megumi's hand clenching into a fist to cause the detonation. "We can make good on it now too, you know?"
The nod from Ryu is not returned, Gen instead simply staring across at Ryu calmly, already quite mentally prepared for the conflict to come. Focus is something the old master has perfected, at least. A single, slow breath signals that his lungs haven't crumbled to dust just yet. After a long pause, the old man shares with Ryu no words, well aware that, on his end at least, none need to be said, but does shift, a hand revealing itself from the previously hidden state in his sleeves. Pointing out at Ryu with his palm face up, he gestures towards Ryu, giving him his very 'The Rock' 'bring it on' gesture, before the hand returns back into it's former state inside of his sleeves, his hands persisting in their hiding.
Despite the gesture, he looks completely unprepared for an attack, standing casually. As a small plus side, it does make him completely unreadable for the time being. Just the way he wants it.

Why not now? Megumi brings up a very good point, one that's only reinforced by Gen's motion. More or less in synch with his teammates release of that crimson sphere, Ryu's hands sweep forward, projecting a blue-white blast of pure chi from his palms. As the heels of his hands meet before him, that charge swirls together, nigh-instantly forged into a spherical form, one that trails bluish flames as it hurtles its wildly flaring path across the arena, the luminescent orb echoed by a forcefully intoned, "Hadooouken!!!" It's a move Gen would be familiar with, an opening much like the one that occurred at the King of Fighters. While Ryu may not possess the same level of instinctual clarity that Gen's honed over the years, he's certainly focused, certainly centered... ready for this, as well. Ready to fight with everything he has, given the opponent he's up against.

Cammy's answer to Megumi's question would have to wait a moment, as Cammy had a ball of soon-to-be exploding energy shooting in her direction. Lifting up a foot, she jabs it into the slate top of the arena, directly before herself with a short, fast kick, a hunk of slate flying up into the air before Cammy, in exactly the precise spot she calculated.
Well, it was a little off, but not enough to screw Cammy up any. Another short kick, and another hunk of slate flies into the air, Cammy lashing out a fist to propel the second chunk of slate towards the incoming attack with a punch, the shard slashing through the ball of energy... and causing it to prematurely detonate.
The first hunk of slate catches the light as it strike the ground, and bounces upward, the Doll dropping to a kneel, and spinning about as she strikes the hunk of slate at exactly the right speed... to send it flying towards Megumi's forehead. Only then, does Cammy reply, as she rises again to her feet, her eyes beginning to grow blanker and blanker by the sheer second. "Megumi Andou..." Cammy states, her voice growing flatter with each word. "...this is a situation where the objectives of victory require one's opponent to become physically incapable of continuing to bring harm upon you. This is a 'fight'."

Ever seen an almost perfect throw? Megumi hadn't, not until now. The stone-chunk Cammy has is tossed, smashing through her own shot and causing Megumi to flinch; it always feels weird when people do that. The stone keeps going, and smacks into her head perfectly, hard enough to send her to the floor, crying out. That did hurt like hell, easily as bad as a lot of punches she's taken to the face. She's slow to get up, but...doesn't look angry. "No, there's a difference. Match and fight are different...dunno if I ever told you about it." Her arms go wide apart, creating a thin energy-wall that flies out, then begins gliding back towards her.

The Hadouken. An attack Gen has seen many times, in many forms, from the opponent he currently faces. It's only natural that, after a while, one would eventually become very skilled at defending against them. As such, when Gen starts a sprint for Ryu upon realizing the attack being started, it's not so much of a surprise that the ball of energy is batted away from him with a hand, swatted away like an annoying bug, deflected at an upward angle to eventually fizzle out, presumably before it hits the moon or something. The minimal effort and preparation took to study his opponent leaves Gen in quite possibly the most perfect position to launch an attack.
Where as the right hand was used to smack the fireball out of the air, the left is then sent in a flurry of blows, impacting all over Ryu's torso, the repeated palm strikes and prods with finger triangles trying to wear down on his opponent, tiring the younger Ansatsuken fighter and forcing him back if it hits or even if it's blocked, the constant pressure keeping the momentum in Gen's favor, with any luck.

Gen 0/-------/------=|=------\-------\0 Ryu
Well, that's not quite how it happened in the tournament, but Ryu goes with the flow, intercepting the flurry of strikes levelled on him by the rapidly approaching Gen cleanly, one by one. The attacks meet his forearms, aligned every bit as quickly as the lightning-quick strikes are thrown, and the backs of his hands, the sparring gloves reinforcing his defense as he bats away the quick hits. It's not as efficient as Gen's last defense, but it certainly gets the job done. As the technique ebbs, Ryu answers with a single, efficient right. Stepping in on his right foot, the accompanying fist shoots out for the retired assassin, the potent punch through like a straight, but angled downward, aiming to connect squarely with the man's chest, and drive him towards the arena floor, rather painfully. The World Warrior's deep voice sounds with a focusing, "Hyaaaah!!!" The initial exchange just means it's time to reclaim the momentum, in his book.
Placidly, Cammy's eyes follow Gen's approach of Ryu, before her fists tighten further, the Doll's eyes swiveling across towards Megumi. A moment is spent staring, before her expression twitches. "The difference is a match does not end in termination of your opponent." Cammy says slowly, before beginning to sprint forward towards the other girl.
But, by no means, is her forward sprint slow. Advancing quickly upon Megumi, Cammy crosses the distance between herself and Megumi in record speed, Cammy launching herself in a diagional angle upwards as she inverts herself in midair, pulling her left leg out of the way, her right foot beginning to blaze with dark blue, sparking, fire shaped energy as it continues on a course for the underside of Megumi's chin.

Megumi just can't get it together today. "...There's a little more than that, but..." Megumi's cut off as Cammy launches in like that. The head-hit earlier must've messed something up, as her wall splits in half on its way back; half reaches Megumi, the other part just...dissipates uselessly well away from her. And then Cammy's upon her, shooting skyward with a kick at the chin. Megumi tries to lean back from it, a split-second too late. Direct hit and she's launched skyward, landing on her back with a resounding thud. Nothing said after that. She gets up, and brings her hands together for another energy formation; a larger, head-sized ball. Her hands thrust out, pushing it ahead and letting it fly towards...Gen.

The strikes continue for a short while, fading off exactly at the moment where Gen would start having to spend more reserve as it'd be another attack. He stays in close, the comet flying towards him narrowly avoided, more because he was knocked back a short way by Ryu's punch, than because of an active attempt to evade the projectile. He's mostly zoned out Megumi and Cammy, the whizzing past him enough to draw his attention for a split second, trying to maneuver around Ryu now, into a position where he can still battle Ryu, without his blind side to Megumi. Of course, now that he's a bit more aware of her existence, he could probably feel any more projectiles being launched at him.
Hopefully, when Ryu threw the downward angled punch, he stayed in the position just long enough for a hand to snap out and grab the man's wrist. If a wrist could indeed be snagged, the arm is stretched out, tugged down so that Ryu's elbow is straightened uncomfortably, the arm exposed enough that his other arm can cross over, striking Ryu at the elbow joint, trying to cause some pain to the muscles and nerves--also his very lifeforce because Gen does things like that--A second, similar strike aimed for the shoulder joint, this one smacking a bit harder in the attempt to knock Ryu away as well as harm his bodies' inner workings.

Ryu's wrist is indeed extended enough to grab, though he shifts with that grasp, his arm twisting of his own accord to make the strike to his elbow force a much less painful bend. It still stings, as does the assassin's strike to his shoulder, though that too, the nomad twists away from, using the momentum to bring himself in at Gen, rather than being knocked away. In that offensive, the World Warrior quickly leaps, his right leg snapping out as he begins a gravity-defying twist, hurtling forward at Gen as he spins three-hundred sixty degrees, over and over again. With each twist, he aims to batter the elder master back, aligning roundhouse after roundhouse with Gen's skull. Left leg is held perpindicular to the ground, Ryu's arms close in around his body, balancing the attack as a fierce wind is kicked up by the fervent spinning of his formidable kicks, "Tatsumaki Senpuuuu Kyaku!!!"
Cammy's opponent of the moment, Megumi, broke off her attack to fight another. Curious. Recovering from her earlier move with a backflip, Cammy immeadiatly drops into a crouch, before flinging herself backwards, tucking herself into a tight ball as she rolls away from the point of conflict, traveling a small distance before she stops the roll by slapping out her hands to the sides, using this moment to cautiously gather herself to her feet, as she watches all those on the arena at the moment. Yes, even Gen.

Megumi swings a fist at nothing in particular as her next effort also fails. Frustrated, definitely. Time to move in closer, and with that Megumi starts sprinting at Gen just after Ryu starts flying at him with spinning kicks. Her plan is to rush in, grab an arm, and begin to raise it while also bending it back past his head, down towards the ground. If she gets that hold going, she'll actually do a forward flip over him to impart more momentum to the takedown. Flashy, certainly.

The wrist is released as soon as the shoulder strike is delivered, trying to duck underneath the spinkicks, but sadly not managing to do so, getting kicked about the head for a little while. Megumi is nearly ignored as Gen continues to focus on Ryu, his body shifting just barely enough to get out of the way of her grabbing. The kicks to his head manage to knock Gen down, though he only stays down for a moment before pushing himself back up into the air with his hands, a single leg stretched straight up for Ryu's chin.
If the kick connects, it'll send Ryu into the air with powerful force that an old man shouldn't have. A number of kicks follow as Gen defies gravity, nearly 'floating' upwards as repeated kicks to Ryu cause him to be struck upwards continuously as well. At the apex a final kick kicks Ryu away from the older fighter, so that Gen can land, with any luck, unhindered.

On the final rotation of the powerful kicks, Ryu throws himself off to the side, kicking momentum suddenly no long driving him forward, but rather hurling him clear of Gen's sudden ascent, his own wire-fu capable, if not quite as flashy as Gen's. Landing in a quick roll, the World Warrior plants a palm to the stony arena ground, flipping himself upwards, and landing back in a ready stance, once more facing Gen. His eyes track the elder master's kicking ascent for a moment, before he sweeps his arms to his side, and forward, a bright flaring of red energies rushing from his palms, surging forth in fiery bursts. As the heels of Ryu's hands meet before him, that flash becomes a roiling conflaguration, the rampant power surging forth in the form of a searing, flame-licked ball of chi, orbitted by tendrils of fire as it hurtles its napalmy path in on the elder master as he lands, echoed by a fervent, "Hadoooouken!!!!"
Well now. Cammy spent a few moments watching, and waiting... and no one came after her. Interesting. It was time to change that. Taking a few quick steps forward, Cammy then bursts into a sprint, lowering her torso as she lifts her eyes up towards the form of Megumi... before she launches herself into a leap towards her, the soles of her boots pointed earthward as the Doll brings her feet together, and straightens her posture, slapping her gauntleted arms over her chest in such a way... as to begin to spin rapidly in the air.
As she arcs towards Megumi, a bluish sort of fire begins to spring up around Cammy's right arm, the Doll aiming to land right next to Megumi... and whip out that arm in a backhanded sort of punch towards Megumi's face, hoping to strike her with the gauntlet covering her forearm. Should the strike connect, the bluish flame-shaped energy would wash over Megumi's face, before Cammy yanks her arm back, the Doll then taking a couple of rapid steps away.

Megumi seems rather set on going after Gen, but not obsessively so. When Cammy moves in, Megumi's taking proper notice of that just in time, twirling to meet her and bring her arms up in front of her to block the energy from striking her in the head again -- too many head-hits aren't good. It still hurts taking it on the forearms, but it's better than nothing, and she completes her spin despite the pain, facing back towards Gen. Her next attempt is much less impressive and flair-inclined, simply trying to move in, grab an arm, brace her shoulder against his chest, then turn over and flip him to the ground.

The latter kicks are aborted after the first few miss, him righting himself and falling down to the ground quickly so that he doesn't get shot out of air by a flamey ball of doom. Whole lot of good that did. He's almost righted himself and is in the process of falling when, bam, he's smacked out of air, hitting the ground and skidding a short distance, leaving a fire trail behind him which quickly fades. As Gen rises up... once again he goes up and over, tossed by Megumi as the girl finally manages to get a hit on him. As Gen pulls himself to his feet, he stares at Megumi for a moment, ignoring Ryu for a second. "Foolish girl." He says, blood trickling out of his mouth when it opens to talk. Why is she foolish? Only Gen knows.
But Megumi no doubt will quickly learn the consequences of her actions, as Gen's hands disappear inside of his sleeves for just a moment. A second later, a single low dash sends Gen flying past Megumi at an impressive speed, one arm revealing itself from its hiding spot on the way past, Gen ending up on the other side of Megumi having delivered a single strike to her side. Gen holds the position with the striking hand outstretched. If the strike managed to connect, Megumi may get a second or two of time to think about what just happened, before the pain finally catches up to her. Six points on her body which Gen struck with intense force and lethal precision become wracked with pain... no doubt casing blood vessels to burst, muscles to spasm and nerves to sear with pain around where the six strikes were.
Sakura leaves the arena through the large main entrance.
Well, Ryu certainly doesn't envy Megumi her sudden job as Gen's focus... particularly when he recognizes the technique being levelled on the girl. A frown creases his face, and he focuses in on Gen, shoving his hands forward to form a second sphere of energy, this one gleaming brightly with the World Warrior's signature blue-white chi, the billowing blast loosed from his outstretched palms as his hands meet before him, a luminescent orb of purest energy lashing out along a swirling, gusting path across the arena, chasing down Gen even as his attack on Megumi finalizes. That certainly isn't the shift he was hoping for, but it's certainly not surprising... the elder master is going for efficiency, here, and Andou is certainly the more vulnerable target, just this moment. It's not going to stop Ryu from trying to oppose it, however, "Hadooouken!!!" he incants, as the trademarked fireball careens for the retired assassin.
Backing away from Megumi after she yanks her arm back, the Zero Doll steps out of the way... just in time to see Gen charge Megumi. Changing her target in the midst of a fight that she was 'winning' was not something the Doll did easily, and that was reflected in the moments hesitation she has...before she turns towards Ryu.
With a few quick steps, and a rapid movement, the Doll attempts to slip behind the World Warrior, and throw her arms about his middle, her body tensing as she releases a shout of exertion, Cammy attempting to yank Ryu off of his feet, bring him over her head... and bash him into the ground behind her, that feat enhanced, or perhaps simply made possible by the Psycho Power Cammy channels through her limbs.

Megumi probably is foolish. The gap in talent between her and Gen is pretty distinct and she keeps pressing combat with him. And yet...there's occasions where the underdog will do something absolutely brilliant. When Gen prepares his finishing technique, which certainly would have taken her out, she...holds very still. Very tense. Worried. When Gen dashes in, she brings her hands in front of her, thumbs and index fingers touching to form a triangle shape between them. The two arms thus touching, she swings them upward at Gen's arm, and times it absolutely perfectly. Just as the first strike in the Zan'ei is about to land, her arms connect with Gen's and lightly knock him away. It's harmless to him, and harmless to her. She doesn't know all those little assassin pressure-points and such, but she knows one or two and recognized what he was trying to do. Chances are it will be Megumi's sole display of significant prowess against Gen tonight, but avoiding having her nerves, bloodstream, and muscles wrecked is a victory in and of itself, one marked with a deep release of breath. That was extremely tense, and even if she made it look graceful, it took quite an effort to do successfully.

Of course, considering that Gen is nearly unconscious and Megumi isn't, the gap in skill might not be so large. When his attack is diverted, one of Gen's hollow eyes widen, a look of shock on his face. Of all the ways people have reacted to his ultimate attack, that was not one he was expecting from the target he was trying to hit. Standing up straight, Gen braces himself, not turning to look at Ryu as the Hadouken comes flying for him, letting it smack into his back. Gen clearly had braced against it--he hasn't given up, but just didn't turn around, perhaps too stunned to really do much else by what Megumi did.
It doesn't get to him for overly long, however. "Hmph." He grunts simply. In a fluid motion, flexibility suprising to someone who hasn't seen Gen fight due to his age, probably suprising to those who have due to his wounds, the old man 'falls' over backwards, tucking up into a ball as he rolls a few times, his hands pushing him up to do a handstand halfway between his starting point and Megumi.

He then continues the roll after spinning, this time rolling forward, stopping on one knee as a single finger lunges out to jab Megumi roughly right in her midsection, aiming for another pressure point, though the attack is still a rough poke even if it's aim isn't nearly as precise as the last. Not that the aim helped him, then.

As the Hadouken is loosed upon Gen, Cammy's flanking motion is not missed by the World Warrior. As she slips behind him with that quick motion, he slips forward, just out of reach of the Zero Doll's reaching arms, leaving her able to clasp nothing but the air where Ryu had just been standing. Never one to let an opportunity slip by, the nomad quickly twists and steps back in at the blonde, apparently leaving Gen to Megumi for the moment as he snaps his right fist out in a quick straight punch, the triphammer shot aligned squarely with Cammy's face. It's a simple, efficient response to her attempted ambush, carrying a fair bit of force into that gauntletted right. It's not as all-out as he could accomplish, perhaps, but patient, paced, and effective are methodoligies that tend to serve Ryu quite well.

A fair bit of force indeed. The Doll manages a small cry of pain as the fist impacts with her face, sending her sailing away from the World Warrior to land flat upon her back some distance away from him. Ouch. Still, without a moment's hesitation, Cammy kip-ups to her feet. Ducking to one side at first, Cammy then charges Ryu at her usual sprinting pace... but when she draws to within a fair distance of him, the Zero Doll leaps up into the air, twisting herself in mid-air so that the bottoms of her feet face Ryu... and so that she begins to spin rapidly through the air, in a manner reminscient of the threads of a screw.
Her intent was to bury her spiral-spinning feet into his gut. Also, to give her the opprotunity to bathe the point of impact in the psycho power the young Doll generates around her feet.

Amazing how a simple poke will seem to have such devastating effects. Megumi may have done quite well against the Zan'ei, but this next one is something she isn't so sure about, and decides to try something very strange. Flicking her wrist off to the side causes a line of red energy to form on that hand, racing up her arm, down her chest, hips, and ending on the bottom of her shoe. That's when Gen's pressure-point strike strikes, and her world immediately explodes into visions of red-haze and 'stars.' But the energy remains on her foot, and while she's hurting quite a bit, she sees an opportunity to get away from Gen. Cammy and Ryu are a bit further away, and...Megumi makes a long flip into the air towards them.
At the end of the flip, the energy on Megumi's foot shoots out, stopping a few inches short of Cammy while it expands into a wide cone, the tip pointing at Cammy. Megumi is not far behind it, plunging into the cone feet-first. Once she's in, it returns to moving forward, trying to plow through Cammy. Most likely, it will fade after flying a few more feet and leave Megumi to land in an exhausted crouch.
Take /that/, Megumi's kids which she won't be having anymore. His sterilizing finger is pulled back as the old man rises to his feet, defensive for just a moment, though he's surprised to see that no one is attacking him, for now. Gen can clearly see that Megumi is nearly down, and he's going to finish her off before worrying about Ryu, it would seem. After all, she did manage to rejuvenate herself earlier in the fight with some of that chi stuff.
Leaping for the crouching Megumi, Gen has no guilt as a leg stretches out to kick Megumi right in the back of the head, the kick fairly light, but still enough to rattle her up a bit... and hopefully do the last bit of harm required to put her down for the count.

Ryu holds his position after Cammy goes sailing, eyes shifting to Gen a moment before the nomad's gaze snaps back to the Zero Doll, sensing that upsurge of energy as she hurtles back in. It's a quick strike, and that flaring power definitely offers a bit of a sting, but rather than move out of the way, the World Warrior moves /into/ the trajectory of the blonde's airborne assault, dropping low as her twisting strike catches him painfully on the shoulder. Gritting his teeth, Ryu twists with the impact to his left side, and launches himself back upwards. Out of the crouch with infamous force, the World Warrior lashes upwards with his right fist, the sheer force behind the strike sending him rocketing skywards as the rising uppercut snaps firmly into Cammy's ribs, near the blonde's back thanks to her spinning, as he does his damndest to send her flying far further than the first time, far further than he himself will fly under the force of the strike, "Shooooryuken!!!"

That was fairly unpleasant, and a new experience for the Zero Doll.
The strike into her ribs draws a gasp from Cammy, her eyes widening as the energies encasing her foot die down suddenly, the girls ascent made all the more unpleasant by the feeling of Megumi's cone of energy going by her, Megumi's attack not quite hitting Cammy fully... but the few moments of enveloping the Doll's head ought to do.
Up into the air Cammy rises, the Killer Bee belatedly trying to reposition her hurting body to land in a not-so-painful manner, the Doll landing in a heap of limbs regardless. Ow. Still, Cammy was not down. Not yet. Slowly gathering her feet beneath her, as her wits just as slowly return to her, the Doll blinks once as she lifts her eyes upwards towards Ryu, her eyes widening once more as her mind explodes in a flurry of calculation. As she rises, she estimates, predicts, and otherwise begins to plan, and by the time the Doll was standing...?
Lock on.
In a burst of motion that flies in the face of the slowness she picked herself up off of the ground, Cammy leaps up into the air at a high angled jump that takes her over five meters into the air, the sheer amount of energy the Doll was drawing on likely detectable by those sensitive... before the Doll jabs one foot in front of herself, and aims herself towards Ryu in a downward-angled jumpkick. That just moments before both her legs begin to flame with the dark blue fires of her energy, Cammy streaking downwards towards the World Warrior, hoping to hit him with enough speed in the shins as to make him pitch forward, as if to fall on her.
Should he begin to do so, he would not be allowed to finish. As soon as Cammy knocks Ryu's legs out from beneath him, the Doll would move in a blur of speed, launching herself up towards his belly in a cannon spike-esque maneuver, taking the man up into the air... before she extends her other leg, and spins around, impacting him in his back and sending him back towards the ground before he could entertain thoughts of rising further. And with that done, Cammy would just allow herself to land normally, the energy in her legs dying as she attempts to catch her breath, from the exertion of the manuever.

Megumi starts to rise from her cone-driving-kick, turning...just as Gen's kick comes in. Incredibly, she tries to plow past the attack. Unsurprisingly, this doesn't work at all; she's struck, and knocked down. She doesn't get back up right away, and a count is started. Just before it's over though, Megumi manages to sit up and throw her arms apart, creating another of those thin energy-walls. This one flies out...towards Ryu, and then Megumi flops back over. She's not unconscious, but she really wishes she was. At the very least, she's incapacitated and the second count confirms that she is out of the match, her effort to help her teammate being what amounts to her 'last gasp' in this.

Megumi's head is used like a spring board, the kick and Gen's jumping off one motion. Megumi is downed and Gen is launched through the air for Ryu, rather nicely executed considering his wounds. Any second now he's just going to fall over, but for now he still fights, as hard as his body will let him. After being sent for Ryu, he comes down on his opponent at an angle, a leg outstretched for the man's head, delivering a sharp kick to his opponent before 'bouncing' off, not wanting to remain right on top of his opponent in his current state. He's got a good poker face, but his wounds are quite apparent.

Mai has connected.
Ryu knows well that Megumi's energies aren't geared solely towards harming, and as that wall of power drifts towards him, he moves quickly away from Cammy's renewed approach, and into it. Still, Andou lost a lot of steam from the hits she took, and the shimmering wall looks rather less than substantial as it passes through Ryu. It's nonetheless helpful, though, particularly when Cammy descends, slamming him groundward, and then back skyward under the barrage of psi-powered kicks. It's a painful encounter to be sure, but it does at least knock him out of the way of Gen's approach, though it's likely small comfort to Ryu as he thwumps back to the ground,, skidding a moment on his back before he rolls out of it, drawing a deep breath as he shifts his momentum and hops fluidly back to his feet, taking up a defensive posture a moment as his eyes dart between Cammy and Gen. He's got a slight bit of space to play with here, the sudden rush of chi already tangible, visible in bolting arcs that run down his corded arms as the World Warrior drops his hands to his side, "Denjiiiiin..." he intones, the bolting chi becoming a white-hot sphere of wildly fluctuating current, building in intensity as an orb rapidly charges between the nomad's palms, electrified energy bolting into it from his fingertips, from the very air around him. As the substantial charge culminates, Ryu shoves it forward, sending a lightning-shrouded fireball all but striking from his hands, in at Cammy, with a finalizing cry of, "Hadooooouken!!!!"

Breathing heavily still from the exertion of her last manuever, the young Cammy glances up towards Ryu... just in time to see him gather the energy, and throw the lightning-covered ball of pain towards her. And painful it was. To her credit, Cammy didn't scream... this time, as the hadouken slams into her, knocking her backwards as the lightning energy plays across her body, the Doll landing flat on her back, and twitching for a few moments before the pain releases her, leaving her very still. By all means... she looked like she was out of the fight.
But somehow...someway... Cammy pulls herself slowly to her feet, her stance wavering, and by no means steady. "Physical... red... condition... error..." Cammy murmurs to herself, her brow furrowing thoughtfully. In spite of all that, Cammy then lifts her eyes up towards Ryu, blinking twice as if lost as she begins to compose herself once again, lifting up her clenched fists before herself.

Well, with Ryu facing Cammy and Cammy taking a break, Gen decides now would be a good time to try to disable Ryu for a moment at least, so his partner the doll might have a second to rest. Gen rushes up to Ryu's side, not over far away after the previously weaved from attack. And hopefully Ryu's hand can be grabbed, a wrist held in place after the chi energy is sent flying along.
This time, Gen is aiming for a leg. The hand is held to keep Ryu from turning around, as a kick to the back of Ryu's knee is used to put him off balance. With any luck, it'll throw him off enough for Gen to then toss Ryu down to the ground below him with the arm still grabbing the wanderer. The attack isn't particularly painful should it even it... making it easy to believe it might be to divert attention away from Cammy rather than cause serious pain. Cammy seems to have a plan, and in this case, Gen is willing to trust in his teammate.

"Not this time, Gen." Sounds calmly in Ryu's voice as he slips back, away from the elder master's searching grasp, leaving no arm for that dangerous hand to clench onto as the nomad dances away. In a sense, however, Gen's ploy was successful, giving Cammy a moment to regain her balance, as the World Warrior doesn't retreat far, turning as he evades and immediately leaping back in on the retired assassin, a powerful, and fast leap carrying him in a quick arc at a point just over the older warrior's right shoulder, Ryu's foot snapping out as he passes, seeking to connect a solid, simple kick to the side of Gen's skull. The intent is to send Gen to the ground, and land Ryu a safe (relatively speaking) distance behind Gen, once again twisting to face Cammy from that vantage point.

Her partner would perhaps be upset, to find that Cammy didn't have any specific plan in mind. Instead, Cammy begins to dash towards the World Warrior, launching herself into the air towards him with a spinning sort of leap, that keeps her feet planted towards the ground... one of the moves she used on Megumi, in fact. Her right arm begins to spark with the dark blue energy, and when Cammy lands on her feet near Ryu, she lashes out her arm with a "HA!", hoping to slam the back of her blue-flaming gauntlet against the side of Ryu's head, hoping to wash Ryu's skull in the energy emitting from her arm.
Ryu is very much right. It just wasn't in the cards for Gen to win this fight. Gen goes down hard with the simple kick to his head, staggering to the side and then dropping down to the ground. He's KOed, the previous wounds having already dazed him a good bit, the final strike all it took to finish the fight off for one old master.
Not that he's going down without one last attempt at Ryu, though if his luck so far is any indication... Ryu would feel a few light tappings on his chest, right in front of his heart. And if the fingers hit unhindered, Ryu would no doubt get a few seconds, as many as ten--depending on his cholesterol level, of course--before his heart would explode out of his chest like a shotgun. Or it'd just cause severe pain from damage to the tissue. And maybe a minor heart attack which will recover on it's own.

A vertically-aligned forearm intercepts Cammy's swinging fist, the sting of the psi-sheathed gauntlet washing across his resilient muscle. Just as quickly, the nomad backs away from Cammy, darting back into a quick hop that sends Gen's charge between them, rather than granting Ryu the pain he knows can be offered by the retired assassin's precise fists. Landing with two half-steps backwards, the gi-clad warrior brings his hands around, projecting a burst of blue-white energy forward, the torrential blast culminating in a rampantly flaring sphere as his hands meet, blasting the chi from his palms and sending the gusting orb sweeping its bright path right in at the slightly unsteady Zero Doll, the luminescent offering echoed by a fervent, "Hadooouken!!!"

Well, Cammy was just not doing well tonight. This week, in fact. The blast of energy slams into her before she can recover from her blocked move, and sending her away from Ryu, the Doll landing on her side with a painful sort of cry. That...hurt. That hurt a lot. Cammy's eyes begin to slowly drift shut as the world about her dulls, and fades to black, the Doll's breathing beginning to slow as she lapses into unconciousness. The last things she hears before she falls completely unconcious, in fact, is the roar of the crowd, and the beginning shouts of the announcer proclaiming Ryu and Megumi the victor.
