Description: Dong Hwan vs. Natsu fight, with a surprise at the end! (Winner: Camera... er, Dong Hwan)
Kim Dong Hwan is on time once again, looking like he just rolled out of bed. He's gotta tell Geese to start scheduling his fights later. The Korean is tired but here, exhausted but alert, and despite problems he's certainly ready for a fight. Natsu again... how's he going to face her now? After the first fight where they quit, and the second fight where, well, Dong Hwan accidentally nearly undressed Natsu, Dong Hwan is clearly thoughtful on how Natsu is going to react to him, today. Not too concerned, but certainly curious, if nothing else.
Slapping himself in the face to wake himself up a bit, itching at his hair to make sure it's all in place, and finally doing some simple stretches, Dong Hwan steps his way up to fighting area, his face a tired smirk--he doesn't have enough energy right now to put in to one of his full grins.
Natsu wanders onto the scene with the usual amount to fuss and fanfare she is normally accustomed too. She drops her gym bag off, and starts stretching. 'I think Geese has the wrong idea bout us.' Natsu thinks to herself. 'Or maybe Dong has it in with Geese and is requesting this.'. She shakes her head. She's not one to back down from a fight. She notes Dong, with a nod. She seems a little bit calmer then she was at the tail end of our last encounter. She smiles, and 'steps in' as it were. She looks out at the crowd, "I'd like to publicly thank Karin for her generous donation to the Taiyo Volleyball team." That said, she turns to face Dong.

Of course, the last fight with Natsu was a request of his, but this one he had nothing to do with. Fate and Geese's whim are the only things that set up this third meeting of the pair. Dong Hwan seems in good spirits, of course, watching Natsu carefully as she arrives. When Karin gets a shout out, Dong Hwan's hands are lifted, clapping loudly as he looks around to see to it that people follow suit, before his hands move down to his sides, Dong Hawn focusing on Natsu with a bit of a grin.
"Hello again, beautiful." Dong Hwan says in the smoothest voice he could muster, hands moving to be placed on his hips. "We'll have a nice clean fight this time, you and me. No interference, no teams, no bikinis... You're ready for it, right?" Dong Hwan asks, partially serious rather than goofing off like normal, making sure she has no regrets.

Natsu nods at Dong, "As ready as I'll ever be." She smiles, and notes the Korean isn't taking to opening. Fair enough. She looks Dong over. Well, he rushed the first two times... She decides it's her turn to rush in. She starts at a dead run, and slides at Dong, looking like she's going to plant her shoes in his shins. At the last second, however, she plants her feet, and brings her fists up into his stomach. Or at least, that's the battle plan.

Dong Hwan stood completely still as the attack came at him. And he was going to whether it as best he could before scooping Natsu up off the ground and slamming her back down, but alas, sometimes things don't work out as planned. Two fists slam in to his stomach, knocking the Korean back a few steps, arms clutching his gut as he tries to regain his breath. "...hrk!" He grunts, looking at Natsu with a look of surprise. "You got faster!" He assures. "You must be working out a lot. I mean, you're body is even better looking than before..." Dong Hwan, able to turn any situation into an excuse to flirt. Besides, he has to pass the time somehow, since he can't attack at the moment, still recovering from the hit.
Natsu shakes her head. "Thank you. I think." She shakes her head. It's not like she gets compliments beyond "Gee, you're tall." She shrugs, however, and tries to wrap her harms around Dong's waist. It looks like she's giving him a large hug. If she's able to succeeds, she'll throw him over her back. Hopefully. She's blushing a bit from the compliments, however. She works hard on her physique.

A hug? Oh, there's no way Dong Hwan could move out of the way of that. Waiting happily as she throws herself at him, his arms wrap around her in return, holding on to her as she lifts him up and over. However, rather than just go down, he tries to take her momentum and use it to harm her as well, in return. Jumping with the attack, he drags her along with him, the idea to end up with him landing on his back and her landing on top of him. And if the can be accomplished, he'll roll over so he's then pinning her, pushing her roughly down against the ground to at least give a little pay back for her attacks, though it almost seems like he's holding back a little bit, not wanting to hurt her seriously?

The volleyball player rolls with the attack. She allows herself to be slammed back into Dong. She's not even sure what his intentions are. Being gentle? In a fight? She shrugs. I suppose if that's the way to win friends and influence people. She rolls off of Dong and grins, "Have your fun?" She asks, cocking an eyebrow, as she palms a volleyball, and lobs it in Dong's direction.

"Ouch!" Dong Hwan complains, a hand lifting to hold his chest after he's smacked by a volleyball. It doesn't hurt much, but still, ouch. "Alright," Dong Hwan grunts out, having finally woken up enough to give the girl a big grin. "Here comes the real thing." And with that, he performs a forward flip in her direction, the jump carrying him far enough for his leg to come down in an arc for her shoulder, heel slamming against her roughly, not to mention a large surge of electrical energy surrounding his leg giving the hit some extra force.

Natsu grins as Dong flashes her a grin. This throws her off a bit for the attack. She's seen it before, and she should know what to expect. She throws her arms up, and tries to intercept his foot before the pain comes. Unfortunately, be it his flirting, or her smugness, she fails to get her arms up in time to deflect, and thusly, her body takes the whole brunt of the energy. She stares at Dong, and balls her taped fist up, and aims it right at his shoulder.

Dong Hwan is 'off' today. A strong punch connects solidly with his shoulder, throwing his Kuu Sa Jin out of alignment. The spinning motion done to start the attack means he loses his balance and falls to the ground, letting out a grunt as one hand holds his punched shoulder. "You're rough! But I guess you deserve to beat me up a little bit." And he doesn't move, giving her yet another shot against him.
Natsu shrugs at Dong. He's being unusually nice today. She shrugs, and decides to send another volleyball his way. This time she jumps in the air and spams the palm of her hand against the volleyball, and sends it hurtling at the Korean. SHe smiles, and watches the volleyball's course on it's way to impact.

Maybe he's trying to confuse her and make her fight less effectively, or maybe he just feels guilty about grabbing her swimsuit top last fight? Either way, as the ball comes sailing for him, he's not looking at it, but past it for Natsu, staring up at her. He's smiling, too, or at least until the ball hits him and he goes down like a ton of bricks. "Oof!" He complains, falling down to his back, his knees pulled up to his chest. Then, he 'kip ups' in the most hostile way possible, flying like a missile for Natsu, trying to wrap his legs around her waist when his pushing off of the ground gets him close enough for her. And should he connect, he twists his body suddenly, sending himself, and hopefully Natsu as well, to the ground below, the two tangled together once again. This is sure a favorite move of his to use against her.

Natsu was ready for this. Actually, she had been ready for this since the beginning of the fight. She throws her arms up as Dong's legs wrap around her. She presses against the ground at Dong's powerful attack flips her, hopefully rolling herself and the Korean into a ball and then ejecting him from the melee.

Ejected, indeed. Dong Hwan goes sailing, unable to untangle himself from the woman before he's sent flying off. Okay, so, like. That hurt. And Dong Hwan is showing his pain as he slowly stands up, muscles aching and telling him to just stay down. But, well, it's Dong Hwan. The pain just means he's going to try a hard, maybe final attack.
Charging for Natsu, ten kicks are laid down upon her, all performed with the same leg, the leg never touching back down to the ground, just kicking Natsu all over her body. And finally, a flip kick sends both of them in to the air with his rising lightning bolt, energy flying everywhere as the lighting force flows out of him and through Natsu, hopefully doing some serious damage. He wants one good hit before he goes down. Either way, he lands after the last, shocking kick, hands on his knees as he takes a pause to catch his breath.

Natsu's plan is to roll with the kicks, and use them to send her up in the air, and to launch barrage of flaming balls in Dong's general direction. In theory this would finish him off, and make Natsu the victor. Instead, Natsu takes the full brunt of Dong's attach, her body spasming, and she knees on the ground for a bit, trying to recover from the onslaught.
Now the momentum is on Dong Hwan's side. And with Natsu still recovering from his painful attack, he's not about to give up here, giving one more attack. Sliding up to Natsu, he lifts one leg, stomping down on the still recovering girl hard, 'kicking her while she was down as it were'. Hey, he's got to catch up somehow! A spark comes with the kick, electrical energy flowing in to her once again with the impact.

Natsu glares over at Dong. Kicking her while she's down? Eh, I suppose she'd do it too. Professionals respect each other enough to realize that a fight is a fight, and friendship can come later. She smiles, and tries to have one last trick up her sleeve, but the volleyball girl is too tired, and madly flails her arms, failing to catch Dong' leg before it connects into her body. She slumps down on the ground, clearly beaten. She's still awake a bit, however.
...And so, a totally Awesome McDawesome fight comes to a conclusion. This fight likely made Howard Enterprises something in the realm of five figures when the endorsements and everything else is figured in...and that's before you take a look at the illegetimate business earnings. The core of observers are still very much watching for the referees' decision, though those on the fringes are starting to walk away. The writing is on the wall...maybe they can catch the next fight live if they hurry.
Standing along with the Howard Entertainment employees is a comparatively imposing figure--amongst the five-foot-nothing Japanese folk, Tony Styles stands out like a sore thumb, despite his jacket and ballcap. When he showed up is uncertain...though it may be a moot point now. As Natsu crumples, Tony begins to move...for the cameraman.
"I need this. Thanks."
Yanking the camera away from the worker before too much complain can be lodges, Tony breaks into a mad-dash for Dong, bringing a mess of wires with him. A shot from behind, the dirtiest of the dirty. Will Dong react, or will he be flattened?

"I'm sorry," Dong Hwan says quietly to the downed Natsu after the kick, crouching down almost immediately to make sure she's not too seriously damaged. "You'll be alright... right?" And he was going easy on her at first, too... But then he had to kick it in to overdrive, and now he's hurt the poor girl. Dong Hwan is declared the winner by the officials, but he's too busy making sure he didn't hurt Natsu too badly from his final, two part beat down.
Just setting the scene for Tony. With a camera wielding maniac in hand, Dong Hwan turns to look at him just in time to be blasted in the face. Dong Hwan is slammed and sent straight to the ground, or more likely depending on angle on to the collapsed Natsu he just beat up, the hapless Korean knocked out cold by Tony's heel antics. There's no desperate final attack, there's no 'down but still awake', he is completely unconscious, Natsu's wounds and that massive hit on his face all it took to send him to bed. Goodnight folks.

Natsu looks up, and smiles at Dong, "I'll be fine.." she starts, "Good Fi--" She blinks, and Tony sails over with a camera. She shakes her head. Violating the sanctity of a fight? Normally this would have Natsu hopping mad. Unfortunatly, it only has her bleeding mad right now, as she rests her head back on the pavement. I know he's a pervert, but isn't that going a bit far? She thinks..
Shock.
Confusion.
Distgust.
Revulsion.
You can read it on the face of the crowds readily enough, as the expression shift from 'wtf?' to 'nerf!' mode over the course of about 10 seconds. In ten seconds, a lot can happen, as demonstrated here: Tony stands over Dong for the first few, smiling to himself in an expression that the commentators are no doubt calling 'demonic'. From there, the gaze shifts from Dong to Natsu, then back to Dong before the camera is allowed to slip from his fingers and thunk against the ground. No words pass from the Muay Thai Panther's lips, no rant about vengeance completed or any other such mess...just walking away, heading for his waiting escort vehicle.
