Description: Scrawny girl with weapons versus the might of the Shingo Kick? Who will win? ... Neither! (Double KO)
Ready?
What a wonderful Saturday...day. Afternoon if one wishes. It's the perfect setting for another one of those famous and anticipated Saturday Night Fights. It's mid afternoon. The fight card said at 3pm the match between Shingo and Malin is supposed to start. Down at the harbour. If you want to get more precise, the docks. Literally. SNF officials have already prepared the area for the fighters and set it up in a way to give the crowd a good showing. Only a scant few people choosing not to watch due to their working. However many of these folks are quick to steal a glance when they can. Our two teenaged fighters today will be duking it out close to the edge of one of the docks that have been cleared. Barrels are on either edge to show how far they're allowed to go before being disqualified and there are a couple of boats on the water full of people cheering and taking pictures. Not to mention workers hoping to get free entertainment. Of course the ones with the best view are the seagulls flying overhead.
Having literally just come over from a fight that started an hour before his over at the Pao Pao, Shingo is already pumped and warmed up for this match-up. He can't wait to get into it with a friend of his that he hasn't seen in like the longest while. The last time he saw the roguette known only as Malin was that one SNF where his tag team partner spanked her. Twice. And then Shingo took her out for ice cream the next day to apologize for it. Lucky for her this time that Shingo isn't a pervert like that Ramon guy. Whenever she gets here, if not here already, Shingo waves over to her with the friendliest of smiles. "Hey Malin! It's been a while, eh? Let's make this a good one!" He then drops down to stretch out his legs by rocking leaning from side to side before bouncing on the balls of his feet a couple of times.

Malin for once is not simply on time for her match, but is even early, squinting suspiciously at the water as she chews her gum and idly play with one of those evil little yo-yo's of hers. Damn things always look so innocent when she's not trying to smack people with them. Shingo's arrival draws her away from her whole-hearted concentration (and abject ignorance of the few catcalls) in order to wave cheerily back at him," Winner gets to buy the ice-cream." the blond girl asserts, then after a second points at him with the yo-yo clutched in her hand," And no spanking."

Not to worry, Malin. Shingo reserves his spankings for someone else. So you get away...this time. He won't make any promises for the next time they meet. Though, he'll cross that bridge when he comes to it. The boy also one to ignore the hooting and hollering his female opponent is getting from the less gentlemanly members of the audience. And even the one or two rare ones that are directed at -him-. Oh my.
Shingo runs a blue gloved hand through his hair and chuckles at Malin, "All right! Deal!" Sweet. He's going to get free ice cream too. Awesome. The thought that he's getting a little ahead of himself never crossing his always positive mind. Sliding a foot back and bringing his hands into fists representative of his fighting stance, Shingo smirks, "And hey. You should know me better than that!" That's right. He only spanks in private. Cough. Anyways. Looks like he's going to start them off.
And so the signal is given for the fighters to uh...fight. Shingo is excited. That match between May Lee and Karin really has him pumped. Better watch out, Malin! Cause here he comes with one of his more powerful attacks. This attack is so powerful that should she get hit...well, let's say she'll be flying back into those barrels. So here it comes... Shingo blinks, pauses, and then laughs very much in an embarrassed/nervous sort of way. In a blink of an eye his notebook is in his hand he's looking through it muttering to himself, "Aw man. What was that technique again...jeez...."
COMBATSYS: Shingo takes no action.

Malin has to laugh at his sudden distraction, and she's at least polite enough to warn the guy," Eye on the fight, Shingo!" before her trademark yo-yo's whirled twice down and once over her head for speed before slinging it in his direction. No-one could accuse her of taking it completely easy, even if he is a friend. Free icecream is free icecream, after all.

Awwww, that was really nice of her. Giving Shingo advance warning before throwing a spiked yo-yo that could potentially rip up that good shirt of his. It's not like he has tons more in his closet at home. Oh wait. He does. Still. That's beside the point. Just like he is beside the points of the blades protruding from the 'toy' coming at him. Malin's warning coming in just at the right time to alert him that the fight's starting. The whirling blades don't catch him directly, only striking against a lone arm held up in his defense. He's got to protect his precious notebook with the other. At least till he can put it away.
Which he does. So without further ado, it's his turn to get into the fray. "Heheh. Thanks for the heads up, Malin!" Shingo calls back to her as he takes off into a dash at her smaller frame. If it were anyone else, he'd probaby chuck a barrel at her gorilla-style, but eh. She hasn't done anything to deserve it. Instead, he'll opt to punching her in the upper body. His theory is that he can get in on her before she has a chance to full retract the yo-yos thereby leaving herself... "Wide open!" Shingo steps forward with his right leg leaving his left foot so far behind. An awkward way to move in a fight, but hey, it works for him whenever he's doing the hook punch he stole from watching Kyo fight.

Darn. Well, that's what she gets for warning him. She's getting used to people trying to beat her yo-yo's back to her though, so the little device gets an extra encouraging tug to make it back to the relative safety of her grasp before she throws up her forearms to try and block his punch.
" Ouch." comes her summation as she gives her hands a small shake. Not that being close to Malin is necessarily a safer place to be, especially with the way that yo-yo vanishes like the damn thing was spring-loaded, only to be replaced by those evil little electric prods of hers," This oughta wake you up!" she retorts as she jams them back at him.

Malin 0/-------/-----==|==-----\-------\0 Shingo
Those things are evil. It's been a good stretch of time since Shingo last fought Malin. It's hard remembering all the little tricks and weapons she skeeps her her sleeves and tight miniskirt. And even if he did it'd probably be a lost cause given that she probably only carries around what she thinks she'll need and not every single piece of arsenal she owns. Hopefully. What else that makes the cattle prods evil is that they give her an extra bit of reach she normally wouldn't have. This little fact is what factors into Shingo making a slight miscalculation with his favoured elbow counter; the electrified end of the 'tool' reaching him sooner than expected and giving him a sharp jolt. BZZZT. If you blinked, you missed the split-second his hair stood on end. Wake him up? More like confuse him for an instant.
Malin gives her best cheeky smile as she briefly holds up her darling little monsters in his moment of confusion, but after all, there's icecream on the line here, so letting him recover too much just isn't in the game plan. The little blond lets the prods slip from sight again somewhere into the impossible folds of that deceptively tight outfit and chooses to crouch and leap up at him in a variation on her Suzume Bachi, with the fairly simple intent of knocking him ass over teakettle to buy herself a little time," Awake yet, Shingo?" she has to call afterwards, just to make sure that there's still breath enough left him to warrant smacking him a few more times.

Wouldn't you know it? After booting so many people in the head and various other body parts in his tenure as a young fighter in the world of martial arts it's Shingo that's the first to take one to the noggin in the fight. My, my how the shoe is on the other face now. If those pesky cattle prods of hers jolted him into a very brief period of confusion then the kick to the jaw definitely brought him back to his senses. She's a light girl. The kick has him stumbling back and rubbing his chin, but it's not enough to knock out any teeth, fortunately for him. Don't want to scare anybody away when he smiles at them cheerfully when this is all over.
Offering a quick massage to his jaw to make sure it works properly Shingo dashes at Malin. Straight on. "Yeah, thanks! I think I'm awake now!" So he says. There's only one real way to find out though. It's true that Shingo doesn't hold back no matter who he's fighting. That doesn't mean that he enjoys fighting females. It's why he always goes out of his way to not hit them in the face or head. But as a fighter, he must be ready to take on all challengers. No matter race, creed, nationality, or gender. This doesn't make it any easier for him to simply run up and grab Malin to just -yank- her off her feet and onto his awaiting (and swinging out he might add) forearm to the gut. This will only sting a little. Trust him.

Now /that/ is more like it. At least as far as Malin is concerned. He's awake, and he's coming right.. at.. her. Well now, okay, maybe that wasn't /quite/ how things were supposed to go. The little blond stands still as he charges at her, attempting to decipher just when she should make her move, it looks like she's actually going to be foolish and stand there and actually let him sock it to her nice and hard, but at the last possible instant she darts sideways like the slick little former-thief that she is.
" HAH!" she says," Gotta be faster than /that/!" which likely means his next attack is going to cream her but good for her arrogance, but at least she's in a position to attempt that nasty little yo-yo trick from a new angle. She must have something against his shirt.

Malin 0/-------/---====|======-\-------\0 Shingo
It was such a nice shirt too. Yes, was. As in past tense. Used to be a nice shirt. Way before Malin's malicious attack robs him of ever wearing it again. How is he supposed to wear a ripped shirt? Sure you can barely see the actual tear in the fabric unless he points it out. By holding it directly in front of you. And sticking his finger through the rip. That fact still remains that she cut his favourite shirt. He thinks. All these shirts look the same by now. This is what he gets for going against his nature and thinking he could, you know, -evade- an attack. That's crazy talk. He should stick to what he knows.
It just so happens that what he knows is how to hit people and how to hit them hard. Now if only Malin would be as so kind to stand in one spot long enough for an attack to land against her. Or at least type 'accept' or something. Come on. She knows she wants to. He made sure and put on Axe body spray and everything. It has to work. You know what else has to work? This. "SHINGO KIIIIIICKU!" You know if she dodges this she's pretty much got the match in the bag. One boot to the head deserves another! Except for the head part. Shingo aims for the spot he usually does. Traps. The part of the body between neck and shoulder. Yeah, there. Feel the pain.

Malin's still grinning from ear-to-ear at his misfortunate, poor Shingo, that poor shirt, too. Not that she's in the slightest bit /actually/ repentant about his loss, especially from the little twinkle of mischief in her eyes. A twinkle which evaporates when he launches his Shingo Kick right for her scrawny little neck. Eep! There's a rather unconvincingly girlie little squeal that might fool anyone who hasn't actually encountered her in a fight as being sign that she's actually as terrified as her suddenly ducking under the swing of his leg might imply, and she skitters back to stick out her tongue at him and take a moment or three to try and focus on how she's actually going to beat him.

Malin 0/-------/---====|======-\-------\0 Shingo
Oh ho ho ho. There goes the Shingo Kick. Ok. So it's time for another round of 'Hit The Pixie'. For those of you at home just tuning in. A 'pixie' is sometimes used to refer to the types of characters that are super quick but are as durable as a wet kleenex. In a whirlpool. During a thunderstorm. What makes these char-types so annoying at times is that they can and will dodge everything you throw at them. Making it that much harder to just demolish them with your good attacks. But when you do hit? Rejoice, be merry, and watch that meter change colour.
Shingo's previous plan of hoping she stands still isn't exactly working out. Malin already having dodged two of his most dangerous attacks for someone with her constituition in a fight. This means that his plan is now to whittle her down with quick but not as powerful attacks. Eventually all those hits will add up and he can hit her harder than she's hitting him. In theory. Time for the application. Especially since the blonde has decided to not keep up with the attacks and whittle him down. "Still quick as always, huh? Well. Just remember, Malin. You can't dodge me forever!" It's not as scary as it sounds. A bright smile dispels any of those thoughts. The mischievious look in his own eyes? Not so much. Like before, Shingo lunges in on the girl with a committed lunging hook punch across her body, "An opening!" It's an opening from his angle anyways. She should put on pants too.
Hey, Malin's just happy to still be standing, and heck, she's even still happy he is too, the little blond's having fun, even if there is free icecream on the line. When he lunges at her with that lunging hook punch, though, she's not apt to just stand still for it, she attempts to produce those electric prods and jolt him in the process.

Malin 0/-------/=======|=======\=------\1 Shingo
Yes! The Aragami Mikansei is sure to hit this time. There's no way she can bring up her guard fast enough to block against this super quick hook punch. She's going down! Apparently...down for her cattle prods. BZZT. Cause there he goes again, getting himself mini-electrocuted by the electric batons. He knows he might be little pudgy around the gut (yeah right). Does he really look like a cow though? To Malin, probably yes. Why else would she keep sticking him with those things. You can see more clearly the ends of his brown hair sticking outward from the sudden voltage as his muscles twitch and contract. Stupid electricity.
Recovering more quickly this time from being prodded Shingo launches into another, faster attack at Malin. Let's see her escape this one! "Teya!" The boy places one foot down and pivots away from Malin to come back around with a hopping spin kick to her chest. Not intentionally. It's just that she's shorter than he is and he's hopping forward at her.

That, is going to bruise. Though at least he didn't tear up her shirt in the process, owwie. And he's right back there with another fast attack.. hey, that's /her/ trick. She still has her prods in her hands when she uses it to block, jarring her forearms in the process with another small yelp. Her hands are tingling with the impact, but damned if she's any more willing to give up the free icecream than he is, so she simply jams those prods at him again. Hah! She'd like her Shingo 'well-done' please, garcon!

*ZAPPO!*
Now he's beginning to understand how those insects must feel whenever they stupidly fly into the glowy light of a bug zapper. This is the third time he has gotten BZZZZT'ed by the darn things. Supposedly third time is the charm because that one did a little bit more damage than the rest. Where -is- she keeping those things? Normally this wouldn't enter his mind. In fear of where the answer may lead. But he just has to know. And so do her 'adoring' fans on the dock surrounding the fighters and the boats on the water. This is not looking promising for Shingo. Don't count him out yet. He has been in worse scenarios! Just give him a sec to sort out the residue electricity in his body.
Poor Shingo. Poor, poor Shingo, Malin's on a roll today, and it looks like the little blond isn't about to let up on him yet, away go the electric prods as she bolts up towards him. The intention is to kick him towards the sky, then perform her rather rare mid-air Jou-ou Bachi smack the poor guy around like a sack of potatoes before he hits the ground.. and it just wouldn't look the same in a pair of pants.

Malin 0/-------/-------|=======\====---\1 Shingo
Ok. Shingo will admit that Malin is on some sort of ninja-like roll today. He doesn't think he has landed a single successful attack against her. All of them either getting blocked, dodged, or failing miserably. All this bad luck and do you think he lets it get him down? Pshaw. Of course not. This is Shingo. The True Boy of the Blowing Arrow we're talking about here. Eternally optimistic Yabuki. Always a smile on his face. Perpetual grin. If he can believe it, he can achieve it! That and rests easy in his knowledge that if Malin was wearing pants, her move would've probably hit. So nyah.
After getting smacked around by the girl fighter thus far, it feels good to get something to work. In this case these would be his arms coming up to guard against that launching kick that would've sent him flying and thusly to his doom. Doom is not fun. Unless he's dispensing it. With great enjoyment. "Oof!" Uh-oh. Malin is right in front of him. Time to turn the tide on her! "Super Dangerous! Burning..." He's too close to her for an effective punch. Time to reverse pivot outward to come around from the -other- side with a hook punch from his left hand to her body. He definitely doesn't want this to hit her face. "SHINGOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Even if she manages to block it, he continues with an assault of punches just pounding away at her little frame. The final hit being a wicked back forearm to her gut.

He's right, she's too close to block, and that's just mean. Malin throws up her hands and strives to simply endure the rain of blows that the boy racks her with. Getting pushed steadily back and having to gasp for breath and double over at that last blow, she has to concede that not only is Shingo awake.. he /HURTS/ when he hits. Damnit. She doesn't even allow herself time to recover fully from the shock to her system before those nasty cattle prods of hers make a sudden reappearance and are shoved at him with all the speed she has left.

Hooray for Malin and her cattle prods! They're almost as good as the ice cream she's going to treat him to when this match is over. Almost. But not quite. Which is why even though he didn't want to pummel her petite frame like he did with his fists, there wasn't much of a choice. Ice cream is on the line. Ice cream, man. Do you know what that is?! Ahem. Malin knows it. Her -cattle prods- know it. This is the best he's seen from her in the longest. This brandishing of pocket lightning wands just as shocking as the last. Looks like he really can't catch a break when it comes to defenses. Most people would call it quits. All this means to Shingo is that he's got to up it up on the offensive.
Sure he could go for another Shingo Kick. At the proximity they're at it'd be the closest thing to a fight suicide. Think he'll pass on this one. Pass it right over to the most frequent technique he has utilized. That good ol' trusty right hook of his. You know the one. The one that she has blocked or interrupted every time it has come in now. "I guess those are your favourites, huh?" Shingo steps deep to her right to come in from the side and the right hook to come in from a hopeful blind spot, "Oh look! An opening!" The punch is different from the rest. It's coming in at her head. Or looks like it. Shingo veering away at the last possible moment to catch her upper back and send her sprawling.

Ouch. Malin's hurting, she's hurting bad. Shingo's being so mean, she's going to tell Sakura, or something. She staggers but doesn't fall, whirling back with a look of indignation on her face. But as the boy said, there's icecream on the line here, and Malin's not going to give up while there's still strength left in that slight frame, even if she does look more than a little worse for wear at the moment. Shingo gets a big, bright, toothy smile, everything's fine, see? She's okay.. and from the glint in those eyes, the girl's planning a king-sized beat-down for the sudden turn in her fortunes, stepping back those few steps with entirely too much saccharine innocence. The reason why will become apparent right about the same time she launches that nasty Jou'ou Bachi high-kick of hers, with obvious intent to maim.

Intent to main isn't exactly the same as actual maiming. That's the problem with kids these days. No follow through. In her defense, had Shingo not been such a bigger meanie that he blocked it then she would've had no problem laying the beatdown maiming on his person. He doesn't show his injuries as visibly as Malin. This is because she's been electrocuting him so much with those dang cattle prods. However upon close expection one would find the marks of where the batons were pressed against him.
Ok. -Now- is the time to end this. He was skillful enough to hit her with that last punch. This obviously means that all he needs is just one more hit and down she goes. Then...and only then will victory and ice cream be his. No problem at all. Shingo is not the fastest, strongest, or toughest guy around. But he makes do what with he has and what he has is a lot of guts. Do -you- have it? Do you have the guts?! Is Malin a bad enough dudette to not get hit by a hopping spin kick coming from Shingo directed to her stomach? "Teya!"

It's the lure of icecream, most teenager's holy grail, the ultimate prize, the opportunity to make other people shell out for the Ultimate Choco-Strawberry Double Sundae.. and Malin's not about to be the one to have to pay for it if she can at all avoid it. It's the principle of the thing, or something. So she step-staggers back out of the way of his spin kick and then lunges at him with her hands curled so that little spikes pop out of those gloves, she'll put a dent or three in his chest yet. Hopefully.

Hold up. She has a cestus too? Well crap. Shingo knew that Malin was a master of concealed weaponry of all kinds. But a cestus? Man. Those things are so old school like you won't believe. Then again they're nothing more than spike studded gloves that anyone could easily make to give the extra 'umph' they need to cause some damage. Malin doesn't hit all that hard compared to most. That's what will get you. All those little hits she does just adds up. Shingo has taken quite a few but that one sealed it for him. That's what he gets for going for a dodge again. He'll never learn.
Ice cream. That thought keeps him going. If he won't get free ice cream...then no one will! Ok. So he's not -that- spiteful. He just doesn't want to go down without ending with a bang or something. Malin's gloved punch strikes him on the solar plexus. A weak point in humans. Time for his last regards. A swift punch comes out from nowhere to strike her upperbody right on the edge of her chest and shoulder joint. Shingo then stumbles back and drops down to one knee panting really heavily. He's never been this worn out before. "Haaaa. Haaaa. Great match, Malin." Win or lose. He's happy. If Malin is still standing after this. More power to her and he will gladly purchase her whatever she wants.

Malin does try to dodge, but isn't successful, damn her luck, no ice-cream factory for her. His punch connects and she crumples to the dock herself, also panting heavily," Owwwww." comes her rather astute observation, rubbing her shoulder and striving to catch her breath," Man, Shingo.. I'd kick you.. but I think it would hurt too much. Tcah. I think this is a draw, yes? We'll have to buy her own icecreams." ahh, the crime of it all.
"Heheheh...ow. Yeah," Shingo manages to get out. Still smiling as always. Despite his loss. "Nah. That was like a really awesome match. I'll get you that ice cream. As thanks for an excellent fight. How does that sound?" Down on one knee is no longer fun for him and he allows himself to fall into a sitting position on his rump. Next he signals over the medics and the announcer guy to give out the results. Stick a fork in him. He's done. A thumbs-up is given to the girl.
Malin quirks a brow at him," You're on." she says, stretching her legs out before her and then cheesily waving at the cameras," Fah. Here come the medics. I suppose it's time to limp off. Sorry about your shirt, Shingo."
