Description: Ninja vs Boxer with a merc as the Chaos Agent: A close battle that seems to go in Eiji's favor when he and Rolento strike a deal. CHILDREN DON'T READ. (Winner: Eiji)
Another day, another stupid tournament.
At least it promises to yield some kind of financial gain, even if Vanessa took one look at the roster and about drank herself stupid before showing up. Notably, no matter how many listerine strips you decide to put in your mouth, you can't totally kill the taste of alcohol that's there-- or the scent of it, for that matter. Still-- it's either Geese's sick sense of humor or just her ludicrously bad luck that landed her in the ring with Rolento again, even if he isn't the primary target. Or a target at all, for that matter.
Restraint, girl. That's all it takes.
The crowd is... surprisingly large. Now, mind you, the audience has seen the roster, too; and, true to form, every single time Vanessa and Rolento fight, there's bound to be clothes missing by the end of it. And thus, ratings go up. So does attentiveness. Therein lies the reasoning, mn?
Standing near the river itself, Vanessa is dressed in clothing she -doesn't- mind being ruined. And thankfully, due to the chill, she's able to wear more than one layer. Namely, a business suit that's already seen better days, over which is a standard, long overcoat. Adjusting her gloves, the redhead watches the crowd patiently, waiting for the other two combatents to arrive, the sigh she gives causing her bangs to flutter somewhat. Thrilled? Not terribly.
Fetching a flask from her coat pocket and taking a quick shot off of it, she stuffs the metal object back where it was, rubbing her hands together to produce a little more heat. Once the fight starts, it'll be a moot point. For now, she's friggin cold.
There really wasn't all that much grandieur within Rolento this time around. He has merely arrived via a sleek black humvee, although a small helicopter can be seen flitting around overhead. Dressed in his officer's vest, lacking arms, and tan pants, the red-bereted man is becoming much more renowned in the last number of months. Adjusting his half-leather gloves and pulling out his baton, he begins to spin it in a somewhat lazy manner while glancing around. He is not going to go within a mile of easy on either individual... No comment just yet, however. There might be little of that where these three are concerned.
The time for the fight nears and yet the opponent for Vanessa this evening has yet to even show himself. People are getting restless and some start to wonder if it will just be a slugfest between the boxer and Rolento once again. That is till a thick mist seems to start rising from the river bed, though it is only in a small area instead of the length of the river as it spirals upwards and grows thick. "Imbibing alcohol before a fight? Aren't we the overconfident one." says a rather raspy voice that comes from the mist as an outline can now be seen standing inside of it as it starts to fade away. Somehow standing on top of water is Eiji with arms folded and eyes focused on the red head. "Allow me to show what kind of mistake you just made, woman."
His eyes widen some and then his form shimmers before seemlingly fading from sight once again. As the crowd looks about the ninja remains unseen for a few moments till there is a flash in the air and suddenly Eiji is coming downwards towards Vanessa with his hands together and raised as he brings them down in a chopping motion that creates a reddish blade of chi meant to cut across the front side of both fighter and her flask. He lands gracefully on his feet afterwards and then his feet spread and arms get raised as he falls into his fighting stance. It does not look like the woman is going to be shown any mercy this evening.

...Whatever.
In a quick attempt to raise her arms against the attack, Vanessa is nonetheless caught off-guard, forced to accept the impact of the crimson energy-- though she doesn't appear as phased as she could be by it. Grunting audibly, the redhead holds her ground without too much difficulty, though she can tell this isn't going to be all that easy a fight. This guy's -fast-, for one thing.
"Save the sanctimonious crap for someone who gives a damn," she replies flatly, tossing the flask aside (instead of at his head, which has earned her more than enough grief in the past) in order to better prepare for her retaliation. Still, says something about how much she's had if appearing out of thin air doesn't even make her bat an eye.
Though, really, it could be equated for having been here far too long.
Rushing forwards, she throws her weight into a swift uppercut, attempting to land the solid punch along the man's jaw. She's not overextending herself this time; either she's employing tactics or simply too flippant about this bout to exert too much energy from the get-go.
Only time will tell. o/'
Well, it would appear that Eiji was the person who decided to start these festivities. As such, Rolento leaps backwards in a rather brilliant arc, flipping a couple times. Landing in a crouch upon a nearby rock, he brutally hurls himself at Eiji, right leg extending before snapping it around in an uncanny amount of speed. With full intent of kicking Eiji in the head and sending him flying, of course. Rolento has no qualms about playing this fair. He will get bonus money if he manages to knock someone out... As long as he 'fairly' dolls out his particular form of justice. Flipping backwards regardless of the hit or miss, Rolento shifts his attention to Vanessa now, in an acceptably foreboding manner.

The ninja's eyes quickly glance from side to side, both fighters seem to be coming after him this time, but for now he holds his ground. Once Vanessa's fist comes in close is when Eiji starts to turn to avoid it, but the blow comes in enough to clip across his chin and knock him off balance enough that Rolento plants a solid boot to his head. He starts to flicker about as he crumples to the ground and soon the ninja is gone again leaving some scuff marks on the ground where he stood.
No more condecending words are at least tossed out towards Vanessa anymore. The fight has begun and now it seems that this will be a fight that needs his full concentration. His movements are quick enough that he doesn't even seem to appear on camera or in front of spectators till he is right behind Vanessa and bringing his arm across her lower back with another blade red energy meant to cut through skin and cloth alike as he then leaps forward and twists about in mid air to land in his fighting stance once again.

Following Eiji's movements, Vanessa whips around in order to block the attack, the serrated energy that's thrown at her digging into her arms-- but little else comes of it other than ripped sleeves and droplets of blood. The impact is more shattering than anything else, and at least proves that the man's got some serious muscle behind those attacks-- beyond just being friggin fast.
"'Least you know when to shut up," she grumbles somewhat ruefully, giving a quick shake of her head as her vision starts to do its... vaguely spinny thing. Maybe that last shot was one too many-- though she's hardly one to care. If this is gonna end badly, she'll at least be anesthetized. ...Kind of.
Or bleeding all over the place.
Without further ado, however, she lashes out with a quick hook to the man's gut now that she's got him close, her other fist raised to deliver a harsh punch across the ninja's already abused jaw, a light grunt coming from her due to the exertion. She's still not making it a point to overextend; and even though her actions are lacking in finesse, she's making up for it with -some- cognitive thought. Some.
At least it looks -vaguely- well put together.
As for Rolento? He appears to be quite comfortable yanking off a grenade from his harness. The pin and safety flick off, landing upon the sand. He then twirls the grenade on the end of a finger for a moment, and then tosses it in the air within a short arc before himself. Rearing back the baton in a double-handed grip, he then unleashes a vicious strike into the weapon, sending it flying through the air towards Vanessa's stomach. Hard enough to probably double her over, before the horrific detonation. And, yes. These grenades are specially built to cause cosmetic damage. Filled with heated shrapnel and a large amount of kinetic force. This would barely make it hurt different to Vanessa, but she's not going to come out of this public fight any better then her others...

There is a small smirk that creases the mask that Eiji wears at the mumbled comment from Vanessa. He just nods his head and he turns his hand to give her the motion to come to him while also keeping an eye on Rolento. He returns his attention fully to the boxer when she swings and at first that punch is going to hit right on target, but as it impacts Eiji shimmers and soon there is nothing there for Vanessa's second swing to hit but air. With Rolento being close and attack his opponent, Eiji takes this time to quickly moves around to get to Vanessa's backside and flicker back in existence as he quickly throws three kunai towards her back right as Rolento comes in to strike her as well. He isn't crazy enought o get close enough to be caught in the blast of that grenade that Rolento is using.

You know how it goes. If you can't see an easy way out, be inventive.
Instead of stepping out of the way or anything, you know, *simple* like that, Vanessa hits the deck the moemnt that grenade comes at her, the explosive sailing merrily overhead and, presumably, into the ground-- if the rampant shouting means anything. Rolling to the side in time to get out of the way of Eiji's own attack, she gets back to her feet in little to no time, chuckling softly to herself.
"I'll be damned," she mutters, grinning lopsidedly. "Nice try, Shugerg," she calls to Rolento. "If I didn't know any better, I could swear you looked forward to blowing my clothes up during these fights."
Enough talk! She's already given Eiji enough time to prepare.
Turning her attention back towards her true opponent, she cracks her knuckles, watching him carefully. She doesn't bother with anything particularly interesting-- instead, she goes for broke. Fast as he is, she has no intention of not taking risks-- and in this case, she has every intention of landing something that friggin -hurts-. Therefor, reaching out, she attempts to take a firm hold of the man's shirt. ...Or whatever it is he's wearing. Assuming she isn't grasping at air and actually takes hold of him, he'll find himself subject to one -hell- of a blow administered to the dead center of his face-- namely, right between his eyes.
If that doesn't produce shiners, she doesn't know -what- will.
Well, this is something of a sour point. Rolento merely shrugs towards Vanessa in regards to blowing off her articles of clothing, before he actually sits down a moment and crosses his legs. His head rests on a gloved hand, baton twirled a few times as he gathers his breath. Apparently his intent is to be very thorough in his interferance; And right now, Eiji is going to need a bit of help. He can admire the mercenary Ninja. But Vanessa? Oh, does he ever have plans for her. All in good time!

Perhaps it was the ninja that seems to have come into this fight a bit too overconfident against his opponent. Though drunk the woman's quick movements are keeping Eiji on his toes. He begins to flicker again as she comes in, though this time Vanessa feels fist meet face as her punch plants firmly and he bends over backwards only to swing back up and meet the woman face to face as blood trickles down his forehead. "Insolence...." he murmurs to her and he flickers away before she can get another strike in at him.
The guessing game of where he might appear next comes into play as he remains hidden for quite some time leaving people wondering if her perhaps fled. That is until smoke starts to swirl up to the boxer's left and Eiji's voice picks up again. "Farewell, pest." He then flickers back in existence to Vanessa's right and he swings his left arm at a downward arc and then does the same with his right arm to create two blade like waves of energy hurtling towards Vanessa. He then swings both arms upwards as a giant X shaped blast comes in after them.

Farewell, nothing!
...Alright, so. That could've been better planned.
As intoxicated as she -is-, and as outraged as she is by Rolento failing to serve his purpose-- not that this isn't in some way expected-- Vanessa isn't exactly prepared for what's coming at her. Therefor-- all she can do is simply take it. All of it. And not in a particularly sexy way, either.
The blast of energy that digs into her right side is more than enough to bowl her over and send her away from the ninja-- however... she's back on her feet within a heartbeat, her eyes trained on him as she rushes towards him with a rare kind of fervence. No way she's going to let him -and- Rolento take her down, especially considering Rolento's apparent favoritism-- or at least, what she sees as favoritism.
Reaching out to take another hold on Eiji, she drags him in so that their face to face. Assuming she's got a hold on him, well--

Sandwiched between Vanessa and Rolento once again Eiji has been beat up enough to realize he can't keep playing around like this or else this will be a fight he will lose. Smoke spews upwards before the two fighters reach them and both get nothing but air when they reach in there. He seems to be slowing down though for the most part. Instead of seemingly vanishing all together it looks like he is flickering about the fighting area as he moves around to get behind vanessa again. He then stands up fully and holds up two fingers to his lips as his other hands move in a few swift motions and he then throws his arm to the left as he splits into four copies of himself.
All four of them all make the same movements as they fall back to their fighting position and then they all charge forward towards the boxer from different directions. Three will disappear as soon as they get close to Vanessa, but the true Eiji comes in from her right with a blade of chi energy meant to impale her in the side before quickly being pulled out and dissipated.

Now, see, this-- this bizarre kind of invigorating feeling that comes from getting whomped with something that -should- be painful-- is a different kind of intoxicating altogether. Even with all the aggravation and cussing that comes with missing out on plowing over the ninja with little to no difficulty, she's been given -some- kind of reprieve-- even if Rolento's gonna be breathing down her neck at any given moment.
Shifting her position so that she's facing the ninja, the energy seeming to have just... -dissolved- into her rather than cause any damage, the redhead goes for another calculated risk. In this case, it's something he could easily get out of-- if he -doesn't-, he'll be greeted with six back-to-back punches juggling his head back and forth, each one meant to dizzy him more and more as she bears down on him. Grunting audibly as the last blow is dealt-- or, hopefully dealt-- she edges back a couple paces, eyeing him carefully.

Eiji isn't going to be sticking around for any prolonged amount of time when he knows his attack didn't do what he had hoped it would. Seeing Vanessa not even affected by such a blow makes him realize to get the fuck away quickly as possible and he flickers out again as the repeated punches come in at him. The distance traveled isn't far though, more of a quick movement to get around to the boxer's backside and then wrap his arms tightly around the taller woman's waist. He stops for a moment to let Rolento swing at the woman, but once that swing is made hit or miss he attempts to jump into the air and take Vanessa with him before attempting to tiltawhirl her about and bring her back across his knee when he lands.

Blocking the attempt Rolento makes at thrashing her with his baton-- or whatever that was-- Vanessa doesn't hesitate to reverse the intended attack Eiji has planned for her. With his arms around her waist, it puts him in a prime position for something else entirely. Wrenching herself around just enough, the redhead slams her elbow straight against the side of the ninja's head, unwilling to let the attack go much farther.
Once that's finished, she pulls herself away from the hold, turning to face Eiji specifically this time. Rolento's not an immediate concern anymore-- unless, of course, he decides to go against the rules. And the man loves his money more than he dislikes her, so there you have it.
"-Come on-!" she shouts at the ninja. "Quit wasting my time! I've got better things to do than be stuck in this fight all goddamn day."
Well, there's money. What, twenty grand? How much money does Rolento really have? It's hard to say, but it's well into the multiple millions. The real reason he is here is for something much more intangible. And at the present, he likely has enough 'capital' with Geese to bend the rules just a little bit. "The role of a Chaos Agent is to insure the fight is unpredictable. Defeating Eiji with my next attack would be counter-productive to such. In the essence of a more interesting conflict, I will attack you a second time with fair warning, Vanessa. Acceptable?" He then turns towards the boxer, beginning to twirl his baton in a somewhat frenzied manner. Things might be a bit more difficult then she would have anticipated now, however.

The elbow certainly is something that the ninja wasn't expecting. That is probably why it slams into him easy enough and his grip loosens as he staggers back a few steps and regains his footing. He is breathing heavily, but his eyes remain focused on the red head and he visibly almost shakes with rage as he gets taunted by her of all things. "Such a bothersome woman. Know your place in the world." he replies and he makes no attempt to be flashy this time around and look for an opening. His hands erupt in red energy as he lunges forward towards the boxer to bring the claw like energy extentions downwards across her front side to open her up in multiple places and then he brings a leg upwards to kick her back towards Rolento. "Five million to you if you show this woman how to respect the stronger sex."

Kain has reconnected.
"Do I really have a choice?" Vanessa replies to Rolento ruefully, turning her attentions back towards Eiji in the knick of time. Of course... what he -says- is another matter entierly. Raising her arms to take the brunt of the cutting energy, the sleeves of her jacket and worn-out suit beneath that already torn to ribbons, the redhead is able to absorb most of it without any issue, her gaze levelled on her opponent with a new kind of fervence.
"Christ almighty," she growls under her breath. "I keep thinking we got rid of your kind ages ago, but then I remember that I'm still stuck in this back-asswards country. Save your platitude for someone else."
And, well. That said... one supposes it's time to at least -try- to put an end to this fight. Even though she's feeling some of the strain of this fight... and even though she -knows- she'd better come up with something that's bound to lay the man low...
Well. Like it's been said; time to take a few more chances.

She doesn't even bother with pauses between the hits-- in this case, it's four consecutive blows, one after the other, bearing down on Eiji with excessive force. Vanessa isn't about to let up anytime soon, nor is she interested in seeing him retaliate. Of course-- the moment the final uppercut is landed, she knows she hasn't done what she set out to do. Soon, though-- and with this coming down to the wire, it's a wonder who of the two of them will end up coming out on top.
"Five million? How about instead you do a job for me? Such sums of money are uselessly insubstantial to me." Rolento then turns his attention back towards Vanessa, before suddenly leaping forward with a rather vicious amount of speed. Apparently his intent is indeed to take her out of the fight right now, as opposed to anything else. A sweep is done towards Vanessa's legs, Rolento slithering like a serpent and then attempting to flit behind the girl. And place his baton upon her neck, wrenching backwards with every ounce of force he can muster to hopefully strangle her but good. "Hnnngh!"
The rage and anger built up might be what costs Eiji this fight. Attacking so thoughtlessly leads to him being caught and easily beaten by the several punches delivered to him. That last uppercut is enough to lift him off the ground to send him back several feet before landing on his feet in a crouch and resting a hand on the ground to keep him from falling over. "A deal, one job." he replies to Rolento as he stands up straight and he holds his arms out in front of him with thumbs touching as well as his fingers to make a triangle shape. He points towards Vanessa and he takes a few deep breathes and then he wills more of the reddish energy into a ball that fires outwards towards Vanessa and then exploding into about five energy projectiles in the shape of shurikens. "Kyaaaah!"

Fuck. Oh fuck. Oh--
The moment Rolento comes in front behind to strangle her with his baton, Vanessa is left unable to weasel her way out of it no matter how hard she tries-- worse, the position she's put in leaves her a prime target for Eiji's own attack, the barrage of energy that slams into her sending her sprawling in spite of all of her efforts to defend against it. Nevermind that she has every intention of retaliating-- even if it could very easily fall short of success.
All but dragging herself back to her feet, arms and face bloodied by the excessive amount of abuse she's taken, she doesn't even bother with a sidewards glance towards Rolento-- as is, with this last manuever, she's certain to lose coherence. Her vision is already giving her trouble.
Not that that ever mattered. In the here and now-- she's hoping she can feel fists contact with flesh before tapping out completely.

With Rolento seemingly on his side at this juncture it allows Eiji to manage to quell his rage for the most part. He is still glaring at the insolent boxer even after the energy based kunai slam into her and dissipate, but to see her experience pain in such a manner does bring a rather satisfied smile to form behind his mask. "This job shall be discussed at a later date, but I will be sure to leave a way for you to contact me." he tells Rolento as he watches Vanessa make her towards him and throwing a fist forward. As it comes in he reaches out to snag that hand by the wrist and side step to swing her to the ground and avoiding any sort of beating she was planning on giving easily negated.
"As for you, woman." He crouches down while managing to keep his voice calm as he speaks to Vanessa. Concious or not he whispers something for only her to hear before taking out a actual kunai and using it to cut a lock of hair off and pocket it. The smoke is already swirling around him as he stands back up and one final nod is given to Rolento as the ninja crosses his arms before being completely engulfed by the smoke. By the time that smoke clears Eiji is long gone.

Calmly, Rolento approaches Vanessa's fallen body. He then pulls out a grenade, and attempts to tuck it down her shirt while she's recovering. Smoothing out his vest with his gloved hands, he then walks off. The ensuing explosion will doubtlessly take care of Vanessa's shirt and coat, ensuring that the long string of 'Rolento/Vanessa' nudity continues unopposed. He grasps a zipline from the helicopter and takes off himself, leaving Vanessa to... Well, whatever it is that might come around. Hopefully medics.
