Description: In the hallowed halls of Pacific High, the Pacific High student Cammy teams up with the Taiyo student Mimiru to battle against Iori Yagami. (Winners: Cammy and Mimiru)
What the heck. Iori's more than a little irked at the locale for this fight. A high school? He's usually in Howard Arena, and now... now they're fighting in some school, surrounded by a bunch of screaming brats. Sure, there's some older folks around to watch, but what do they know. At least the ceilings are high here, though.
Grumbling to himself, Iori strides onto the scene, pushing through the crowd to the barricades that keep the fans away from the fighters, kicking over a trashcan in the process. "Let's just get this over with," he scowls, one hand snapping up to rake through his thick mane of red hair. Taking a position opposite the entrance, he turns and hooks his thumbs in his pockets, standing and waiting for the other entrants to arrive in the 'ring.'

High Schools are great! Mimiru can show off here and no one knows exactly who she is! Well, some of them may know her because of her previous fights, but also for being a Basketball Super Star! Well not much of a superstar, but in Taiyo, she's teh_female player when it comes to Basketball.
The girl doesn't mind the crowd around. She grins and waves to them idly, "Heh, heh, everyone!" Of course, they're probably not cheering for her, but more the one girl she gets to team up with. After all, this isn't her school but eh, she can believe they're rooting for her!
What was wrong with the locale? Well, whatever the redhaired Yagami scion's feeling on the choice of arena, Cammy's own feelings were, well... hesitant. This -was- her school after all! She didn't want to see the various sculptures and the hallway and stuff get torn up! In any event, Cammy cringes where she stands upon the sidelines, her attention turning from the girl she was chit-chattering with to glance towards Iori. Frowning somewhat, Cammy allows her gaze to travel up and down the man as she turns away from the crowd, making her way to the center of the little cleared area, the once-Doll already in her fighting 'gear'; combat boots and the dark blue swimsuit-like garment she wore in fights, with a equally dark blue windbreaker worn over that.
Oh, and her beret.
As Cammy reaches a hand up to the zipper on her jacket, she tears her eyes away from Iori, her attention fixing upon her teammate. Oh, her! "Oh! You! Hey Mimiru! It looks like we're on the same team again, doesn't it?" Cammy asks, the pensive expression on her face giving way to a small grin. Yanking the zipper on her jacket down suddenly, Cammy throws her arms backwards and gives them a little shake, that fluid motion jerking her jacket off of her shoulders to fly behind her. And with that done, she settles into a defensive little stance, fists up, legs set just a bit more widely apart...
...and a grin directed right towards Yagami. "Do your best, alright?" she says to the red-haired man, and... was that a hint of arrogance in her tone?

Well... Iori half-expected Mimiru to be the cheerful type. He's done his homework on the girl, researching her fight patterns and whatnot, and really? ... He wasn't terribly impressed.
Cammy, though. He's -fought- her before. And yet now she looks and acts completely different. Full of life, vibrant -- it's a complete shift. "... We've... met before." She's got his interest, that much is obvious. But considering her prior employer and how much the red-coated dictator likes playing mind games... the tall Orochi figures he can't be too cautious. Odd, considering his sulking mindset at the start of the fight, but he's a bit more wary than he might have otherwise been. "You were different, then," he notes, dryly. But as he brings his hands high into a defensive stance, lightly curled but not into fists, with his shoulders rolled forward... it's clear he's focusing his attention on Cammy. It could be a sign of things to come that he's all but ignoring Mimiru, but time will tell.

Mimiru's a new sparkling talents amongst the fighters of the tournament! And considering her age... Well she can hold her ground. Of course, she's not overtly impressive, especially since her whole combat style relies mainly on self-defense she's not really a big threat when it comes to double fights. Not being quite the agressive one.
"That's right, girl!" Mimiru says as she spins on her heels and gives a thumbs up to Cammy, "And we're gonna be kicking serious butts today do! Do your best, alright?" She says to Cammy, in unisson with her. It causes her to laugh a bit and she nods to Cammy, "You bet! That's all I can do after all!"
And Mimiru not being a really offensive martial artist, she merely prepares herself ang gauges her opponent... Who, like many, merely ignores her and underestimates her. Which is Mimiru's super secret weapon!

Megumi has arrived.
The words from Iori cause Cammy just a single moment's pause, her grin slipping for a moment as her stance relaxes somewhat. But after that moment passes, Cammy's grin returns anew, growing just a little bit more. "Believe it or not... I get that a lot." she says, her grin turning a bit goofy as the excitement of the upcoming fight starts to get to her. Sparing a moment to flick her eyes towards Mimiru, Cammy brings her fists up again, her body starting to tense as she chuckles at that double 'Do your best' thing as well.
But the announcer calls 'Fight!' then, and Cammy's attention whips forward towards Iori before a single second can pass, and the grin slips from her face, leaving it a serious mask. Time to go. Crouching low to the ground, Cammy begins a quick sprint forward towards Iori, the girl pausing for a split-second before him to crouch lower, before exploding upwards in a leap. Inverting herself with that leap, Cammy aims her right foot towards the underside of Yagami's chin, pulling her left leg out of the way as she cries, "CANNON SPIKE!"
One musn't ignore the bluish sparking energy that emits from her leading foot, as well.

Iori doesn't know what to think about Cammy's attitude here. It's not programmed or rehearsed, and he doesn't -think- Vega's in the crowd here.
There isn't a whole lot of time to worry about it though, because Cammy's already on top of him with that attack. He steps backwards sharply, but that's not going to be enough to clear him -- instead, he leans backward, his left forearm snapping up to keep that inverted foot from planting into his chin. "Hmmmph..." he grumbles, narrowing his eyes back at the nimble fighter. Seems he's gonna have to get rough.
Which would be why Iori snaps forward again, his left elbow arcing past, just before his right hand rockets forward to grab the bereted girl as she lands. "GUUUUWOOOAH!" he howls in the process -- and if he's lucky enough to land, he'd jerk her off to one side and ignite a conflagration of purple flame from his palm, engulfing Cammy whole. That's a big 'if' though. "BURN!"
Mimiru's got a wide open shot at his side, in the meantime...
And just with a couple of seconds of delay, Mimiru dashes off right after Iori. Hopefully, Cammy's own attack and the fact he got his full attention on her will make things harder for him to actually dodge Mimiru's incoming attack. She uses this opportunity to try and get the opening she has in Iori's defense and, just as he strikes for Cammy, Mimiru reaches out to him from behind.
She actually reaches for his neck with one hand and the other one goes on his arm and while he may not be expecting it, Mimiru strides to his side and she attempts to make him trip with a good sweep of her right leg to knock him off balance. And once he is, if he is, she'll merely make him fall down with her hands.

Cammy's once-Lord Vega wasn't really the type to blend into crowd, too! Cammy barely had the time to recover from her manuever, and land on her feet again, before Iori was taking advantage of her imbalance. Or perceived imbalance, anyways. Throwing her torso to one side as she bends her knees in a crouch, the girl dodging the grasping hands of Iori before they can reach her. In spite of her success, she manages to bite out a quick word, "Fast!", before throwing herself backwards, to tumble a meter or three away from Iori. That little tumble ends with Cammy fluidly rising to her feet, the student's body tensing once more, as her eyes narrow upon Iori.

"Heh." Iori puffs up a bit at Cammy's comment. He could get used to fighting her. Even if he -normally- doesn't take well to uber-cheerful people, they're girls. And girls can't beat him up, unless they happen to be named Kula. But she has the whole ice thing going for her, and what do these two have?
Spirit, clearly. For while Iori's attention is all devoted to Cammy, Mimiru charges in to grab for his arm, and tug him to the ground. An instant before she lands, Iori spots her and tries to capitalize on it by catching the girl in the stomach -- but it's not meant to be, and she puts the tall man on the ground. "Ghrnnn.." he mutters, but he doesn't stay there long before rolling back to his feet. "Hmph," he notes again, dusting his arms off. It's as close to a compliment as he's likely to give.
And down to the ground he goes! Mimiru frowns and she glares at Iori, "Heh! What do you think you're doing, huh?" She asks with a slight grimace. She lifts her hands up and straightens her combat stance, not intending to allow Iori much time to recover. Unfortunately, he's already back up on his feet in no time and there's little Mimiru could do about it.
Instead, the girl dashes for Iori and she attempts to tackle him as he gets back on his feet, hoping that he'll still be off-balance enough to crumble back down on the ground. And she charges him, head on, even with the slight shout that is intended on give her that extra boost of strenght or the fright factor with it.
Well, -this- girl is going to give her best shot at beating Iori up. And Mimiru looks like she's helping quite a bit with that. In spite of the seriousness and focus of her expressio, a tiny smile tugs upwards at the corner of Cammy's lips at Mimiru's success in attacking. They had spirit, indeed. But still... Iori had power. Banishing that small smile from her face, Cammy dashes towards Iori once more, the sounds of her footsteps intermingling with the cheers and boos of the crowd... before she launches herself up into the air, inverting herself again... this time, not to strike Iori upside-down... but to strike the ceiling upside down, Cammy 'landing' on her feet upon the ceiling, her knees bending as she falls into a deep crouch. And before gravity can exert it's hold upon her, she was in motion again. Kicking off the ceiling so that she was descending earthward quickly, Cammy turns her feet towards the ground again, and slaps her arms over her chest in a manner that causes her to slowly spin in a corkscrewing motion, more of that sparking, vaguely flamish energy surrounding her feet. Whether or not Mimiru's attack strikes home, Cammy would seek to strike Iori in the head or shoulders, before leaping off of him to land a short distance away. That was the idea, in any case.

The beauty of a team-up attack! Too bad for Iori that he happens to be on the receiving end, of course. Even as a direct hit, Mimiru's tackle isn't enough to do more than knock him back a few steps -- but it's more than enough to set the tall man up for the spinning kick from Cammy. Iori's feet leave the ground as he's driven backwards by the spinning, flaming energy, despite his best efforts to snatch Cammy out of the air and slap her to the ground. He coughs blood from the sudden blow, but he's far from down for the count -- for as soon as Cammy leaps back, he pushes back to his feet once more. Spitting blood onto the floor, he shakes his head -- and points at Mimiru. Apparently... she's got his attention -now-.
Though... he does chuckle lightly. "Underestimating you two was my first mistake." Pause. "My only mistake."
Talk about team work! Of course, Mimiru didn't intend it that way, but when Cammy actually hits him and merely sends him down to the ground, Mimiru straightens herself up and she pants softly. Her lips curl into a smile and she gets back into her fighting stance, "Ah! Yeah, right! Definately, well that's one too many mistake you made." Mimiru says with a grimace.
And while Mimiru and Cammy don't give Iori a second to counter, Mimiru well intends to keep up that pace and keep hitting him and not allowing him any opening. She grunts and charges at him. She lifts her hand up and attempts to punch Iori, though instead of punching him, she opens her fist up and strikes with her palm on his sternum's area. At the apex of her strike, if she suceeds, she unleashes a slight burst of chi energy, merely to strenghten her palm shot and, hopefully, the burst of force will perhaps make him glide back some.
"Heh." Cammy says as she lands lightly upon her feet, casting another glance over towards Mimiru to see what she was doing. One of the benefits about being as fast as Cammy was, was the ability to capitalize on attacks. And so when Cammy sees Mimiru's sternum punch begin, the once-Doll was in motion herself. Whipping forward, she attempts to slip behind Iori, and throw her arms wide open. If Mimiru's punch went well, it would hopefully knock Iori into her waiting arms. If it didn't... it wouldn't be too much trouble to step forward, and complete the move, throwing her arms around Iori's middle, indrawing a breath... and then hefting him off of his feet, to slam the top of his head into the floor behind her with a suplex and a "YAAAA!" If things went well, that is.

Mimiru's punch is met with a raised forearm -- apparently Iori isn't going to let -everything- tossed by the basketball star past his defenses. The chi energy is left to fizzle on the sleeve of his coat, but for the most part, doesn't seem to faze him in the slightest, mostly because he's stepping forward to meet Cammy.
Pity she's =behind= him, caught in a suplex, and hefted right over top of Cammy's head. It's a good thing they're all getting paid lots of money for this, because the Pacific High building's floor gets cracked by the sheer density of Iori's cranium. "GNNNH..." Stubborn much?
After that... well. It's still gonna take more to keep Iori down, but now... now he's just plain =mad=.
Mimiru's maybe just a small fry that proves to be a slight annoyance to Iori in this fight, but the little fly that keeps bothering the horse seems to be more than enough to allow Cammy plenty of openings to actually smack Iori around!
Mimiru's lips curl into a grin and she chuckles softly, "Ahahah, take that!" She says.
Lack of anything better to do, right after the suplex Cammy delievers to Iori, Mimiru strides to his side and she attempts to just give him a hard kick in the stomach while he's still down. Might as well use every opportunity to strike. Like her brother would. Fight for survival!
Cammy bites down on her lower lip to prevent herself from saying something just a bit prideful, but still... the once-Doll rolls away from Iori after her manuever, then kip-ups to her feet, arms held to each side as she whirls around quickly to face Iori again. And then, with deliberate slowness, she takes a step away, bringing her fists up before herself as she tightens her fingers into a fist.
"Need a moment or two to catch your breath?" she asks Iori. Well, she -tried- not to taunt the man, but... oops. Still, there was no denying the focus in her expression, or the ready tautness in her shoulders as she watches the redhaired scion.

This would be an opportunity for teamwork to... fail. Miserably. Because without Cammy charging in as a distraction, Mimiru wins the lion's share of Iori's attention span.
Including his bloody rage. And given the extra respite from Cammy, he has time to leap into the air, such that the kick hits his knee instead of his stomach. The =bad= part of that is -- he's also built up enough momentum to bring his right palm crashing down towards the base of Mimiru's neck, his hand scorching a brilliant amethyst scar into the sky. "GUROOOOAH!" he howls as the blazing palm crashes down, spitting once more as he regains his footing.
Panting visibly, he cants his shoulders forward, glaring at Cammy. Moment to catch his breath? Doesn't seem like he's willing to take her up on that offer, from the looks of his reaction to Mimiru.
That's one of the thing Mimiru doesn't understand with others fighters. How can they just stand there and block attacks like that? As far as Mimiru,s concerned, it just hurts so much she much rather just stands out of the way and play the slippery eel instead. However, this time, she definately doesn't have the time for that. Where's her savior Cammy? Well it seems Mimiru's on her own for just a couple of too long seconds.
The palm hits her neck and Mimiru's just thrown back by the force of Iori's strike. At long last the man seems to react to something, and it's quite a good way to be pretty spectacular. The little girl just crashes down, away from harm's way but still, considering how slowly she reacts to this, if Iori actually wanted to, he could just return the favor and be the one kicking her in the stomach. Thankfully, Cammy's there and she won't let that happen. The girl just coughs a few times and she pants, trying to recover her breath some as well as enough strenght to get back on her feet.

Cammy's face grows quite a bit more serious as she sees Iori... well, damage Mimiru very badly. Iori was not one to underestimate, it seems. "Alright then..." she murmurs under her breath. Standing back like that wasn't going to help much. Catching sight of Mimiru's slow movements, Cammy releases a hissed breath between clenched teeth, the entirity of her right arm beginning to blaze with more of her energy. Hopefully, she would be able to distract Iori long enough to do what she intended here.
A few steps forward, and then Cammy leaps towards Iori, slapping her arms over her chest and keeping her feet pointed earthward as she spins rapidly, gaining momentum for... when she lands. Landing lightly upon her feet, Cammy whips out her arm twisting her body to add a bit of oomph to the blow, as she aims the energy-laden forearm towards Iori's head in a backhanded blow. "YA!"

Cammy won't let that happen? Funny -- Iori doesn't seem to have any problem with fending the Zero Doll off =now=. Snapping his forearm up rapidly to ward off the knuckle bomber, Iori shakes his head in reply. "Hmph." It clearly stings, from the way his arm reverberates from the blow, but it's not enough to stop his counterattack.
Which just happens to be in the exact -opposite- direction of Cammy. He's headed for the wounded girl now -- for if she thought it was time to rest, she's sorely mistaken. "You're just as pathetic as your brother, worm!!" Lunging towards Mimiru, he fires off a left cross punch as a wake-up call. Then steps forward to deliver a hard right uppercut to shake her up. Finally, he leaps into the air, bringing his hands together for a high axehandle, both fists dropping like a guillotine down onto Mimiru's shoulderblades! "GURAAA! GURAAA! GURAAAAOH!"

It's not that she decided to rest -- she didn't have much of a choice. If your body can't follow up with what you want to do, you have little choice but to wait for it to actually catch up. Mimiru hardly believes she's safe after that surge of anger that came from Iori, but if she wants to be able to stand and fight again, she needs at least to catch her breath back. The two other fighters may have more experience than her, but for Mimiru, she just can't shrug off that kind of heavy hits in a matter of seconds.
Of course, that leaves her totally open for Iori to strike her again while she's down. Mimiru would have hoped that Iori would be slightly distracted by Cammy, but it seems that he knows where there's an opening when he can see one. She's still getting back on all four and coughing some, recovering from the partial lost of breath she had due to the impact of Iori's palm against the base of her neck. She barely has the time to raise that she's already falling down. The first punch that serves as a wake up call make her scream and her legs give in and she's just about to crumble down limply, but then, Iori doesn't allow her such luxury, instead, he adds up a quick uppercut, which is enough to force Mimiru,s whole body to straighten up and follow the force of the blow. The girl doesn't really have the strength to hold herself still and standing, and so, the hard uppercut actually makes her quite literally lift off the ground.
She doesn't even have the time to actually fly down... Nope. She has to 'soar' down quite literally, thanks to Iori's efforts, whom brings both of his fists against her shoulders and merely accelerate her descending speed ten times, making her crash loudly against the ground. Of course, Mimiru's body is hardly one that would make the ground crack but still, it doesn't need to have cracks in the ground for someone to know that hurts. At least there's one last scream from Mimiru as she hits the ground but after that. There's not much of a reaction from the girl aside from a few spasming twitch every now and then.

Cammy didn't -want- to let that happen in particular. And now... with a uneasy feeling settling in her gut, Cammy's eyes widen for a moment as she observes Iori's actions, the girl unable to keep the frown from coming unto her features. A slow indrawn breath is released just as slowly as she watches Iori, Cammy's fingers unflexing from the tight fists she held her hands in... before she renews those fists. "That's enough!" she cries out towards Iori, takes three quick steps towards the man... before flinging herself forward towards him, and tucking into a tight little ball. A tight little ball that's aimed to hit the ground in front of the man.
But before her curled up body can actually strike the floor, Cammy uncurls from the ball suddenly, and whips her foot out towards the side of his leg... assuming he was even there anymore, trying to deliver a sharp kick to the side of his knee. That would just be the first step. Assuming everything was going rosy and bright for Cammy so far, she would rise to her feet beside Iori, stick her left leg behind both of his... and take a handful of the front of his clothing with her left hand, shoving him over her leg to a hopefully painful fall.

Iori 0/-------/----===|======-\-------\0 Cammy
A fighter with less of a misanthropic streak might feel badly towards Mimiru, lying on the floor, twitching and all that... but then again, a kinder gentler Iori wouldn't be hitting someone while they're down and all.
Heck, a nice Iori probably wouldn't even be a fighter at all. Doesn't he profess a distaste for violence? Anyway, with Cammy charging forward, Iori doesn't have the luxury of figuring out what to do with Mimiru -- his attention's focused elsewhere. A bright bloom of flame crackles in his palm as she approaches, a cocky smirk on his face as she draws near. But when it comes time to strike, Iori pitches the fireball at the ground, instead of directly at her. The brilliant flash of light that follows might explain why -- though when the flash clears, Cammy's already snared Iori in her trap. The bolt of lightning intended for the Zero Doll crackles harmlessly in her wake -- hurting no one but the Pacific school district, due to the cracks forming in the floor and ceiling from the enormous surge of electricity.
Oh, and Iori gets slammed to that hopelessly cracked floor, as well. It's certainly not the first time.
And if Cammy had her way with it, it wouldn't be the last time Mr. Yagami's head gets slammed to the floor. Nice or not, Cammy couldn't stop that uneasy feeling from twisting her gut further. Still, in a fight such as this... Cammy tended to go a bit overboard, as well. With Iori having tripped over her leg, the once-Doll straightens, then hops a little to the side, bringing a foot high up into the air... to try to bring her heel down upon Iori's face, hopefully putting a end to Yagami's ability to fight... for the next few minutes, at least.

A noble effort, really -- and one that's rewarded by the satisfying crunch of cartilage and bone giving way. What kinda boots is she -wearing-, anyway? Those things smart!
Crumpling to one knee, Iori coughs... not the -most- damage he's been dealt in this fight by far, but enough to make him wonder about the outcome. Growling, he pushes back to his feet -- though he's also focused on driving his fist right into Cammy's midsection. Nothing fancy, nothing calling for any more than a light groan from the beleaguered Orochi halfblood, but it's clearly going to be a painful, bonecrushing uppercut if it hits. "Hnnngh!"

If being the operative term, in this scenario. Iori's rising uppercut... doesn't quite connect at all. As Iori rises, Cammy draws her torso back with that uppercut rising in front of herself, drops down to one knee, and then whips her foot around to impact Iori in the back of the legs, hopefully knocking him down, or at least rattling him a bit. Sorry, Mr. Yagami, Cammy doesn't quite want you standing up yet.
Yeah, well. Can't win 'em all. And against Cammy, it doesn't seem he's going to be winning much of anything. But if the ex-Doll is going to be standing there knocking him down whenever he tries to get up -- so be it. He'll just have to get up a different way. And that way would just happen to be feet-first, as he propels his boots towards Cammy in a bastardization of a standard kip-up. "KURAAAH!"

-Cammy's- boots hurt? That kip-up was fast, very fast, and Cammy wouldn't think that it would hurt very much even if it did hit, due to the angle of the attack, along with the fact that the once-Doll was trying to get out of the way.
She was wrong about the pain bit. The kip-up knocks her away from Iori, Cammy stumbling as she tumbles to the ground before Iori, wincing a bit at the sharpness of the kick. "Bloody... hell." she murmurs, borrowing a bit of slang, however it was actually used, from her 'father'.
Underestimating Iori was a bad idea. Finding herself on the cracked ground instead of Iori, the Pacific student gives her head a brisk shake, before glancing up to him with narrowed eyes. Curling herself up, she tumbles forward once, and lifts herself up into a handstand... hopefully near where Iori was standing now. The energy from before? That could be called a small application of energy. The amount of energy she releases now could be called a blaze. Launching herself upwards as her legs blaze with her power, Cammy seeks to catch Iori with the fires, and catch him beneath the chin with both her feet as she ascends.
COMBATSYS: Cammy successfully hits Iori with Reverse Shaft Breaker.

Who knew one 5'4" girl could hurt so darn much? Iori sure didn't think it possible... but apparently he's mistaken, as Cammy catches him while he's still staggering back to his feet. Woozy from blood loss and overexertion, there's not much he could do as he's caught in the torrent of flame right under the chin, blasted into the air from the impact.
And yet... somehow, he's still conscious through it all. And not only that -- he's making a grab for Cammy, even in mid-air. It just starts off simple, sure -- but if it lands it ought to be more than enough for him to channel his very last bit of energy into hitting the ex-Doll as hard as he can -- repeatedly.
COMBATSYS: Iori can no longer fight.

Mid-air manuevers was one of Cammy's specialities, something Iori was about to be introduced to. Still spiraling around, as Iori reaches for her... Cammy reaches back, snatching the man about both of the wrists. Using that grip there, Cammy pulls, and sorta flips forward, bringing both of her feet crashing down upon Iori's head as she releases his wrists at the same time, hastening the man's descent. Cammy, for her part... lands lightly upon her feet, and whirls around towards Iori, casting a worried glance up towards Mimiru as she backs away from the red-haired warrior. Is Iori down? For all the beating he took, the man was... unusually sturdy.
Iori's down, yeah. No way he's snapping back up after that round, he's had enough reintroductions to the floor.
