Medal Tournament - Cammy vs Ryu

Description: Cammy starts out fighting strong, but in a flash, the tables are turned, leaving Ryu victorious. (Winner: Ryu)



The sun may seem to be setting an hour earlier each night these days, but that doesn't mean that a fighter's training regimen gets to be abridged. So darkness notwithstanding, the World Warrior remains a health span into the shadowed woodlands surrounding Southtown. The branches do much to obscure the moonlight, leaving only a few scant tendrils of illumination creeping downward from the canopy, a hint to the moon and starlit sky beyond. glimpsed in patches through the spread of lingering foliage. The leaves, wet on the ground from a recent rainfall, slide underfoot with a rustling slosh, the forest floor shifting itself for the coming winter.
Ryu himself sits in the midst of a number of the larger trees, a bit off the path that footfalls and animal routines have worn, cross-legged in contemplation on the ground. The cold doesn't seem to bother him much, nor does he look particularly uncomfortable... more pensive, relaxed, his eyes closed as his mind wanders and the chi gathers within and without, coursing through him. There's a light flutter to his gi as the winds pick up around him, and the nomad draws an especially deep breath of the crisp, fresh air.

And while darkness may have settled over the lands, that did not stop Miss Cammy White from seeking out opponents. And why would she be seeking out opponents? Well, the gleaming medal affixed to the outside of her dark blue windbreaker may be the answer. It -was- fairly cold out, too, on this cold and wet night, but like Ryu, Cammy didn't seem bothered by the weather.
Even though Ryu was arguably better dressed for it.
Other than the jacket, and the nice thick boots Cammy wore on her feet... Cammy was dressed with her usual fighting and training outfit, the near-swimsuit that she preferred. Oh, and her beret. Musn't forget her beret. Breaths leaving her lips in puffs of condensation, Cammy was stalking through the forests, torso crouched low... half crawling, and half walking throughout the area. One of the things Cammy prided herself on, was not doing anything halfway. And the best way to not do anything halfway in this tournament? That would be to challenge Ryu.
Boots finding sure footing on the slush in spite of the terrain, Cammy spots her particular quarry, and then falls unto her front, ignoring the cold... as she then begins to crawl up upon Ryu. She was likely already noticed by the Ansatsuken warrior, and she -did- have to declare her intent to challenge for a medal before actually getting into things, but still... one didn't get many chances to attempt to sneak up on Ryu, did they?

It's sort of funny... of the strongest women he knows, one ambushes him at the break of dawn... and the other on the far edge of dusk. Though Cammy doesn't seem to have been noticed yet, her stealthy approach far less notable than the energy stirred by Ryu himself. The medal he carries hangs pinned off the end of his black belt, adding a bit to the kanji flair, at least for the time being. His steady breathing and concentration unchanged, the nomad sits calmly, close-eyed gaze seeing nothing, it seems, of the shadowy woods around him. Whether or not the ex-Doll will be able to maintain that level of stealth, well... it's not liable to be easy, if she's even fooled him thus far. Then again, he does seem rather focused, and sometimes, as long as reactions are sharp, the guard might be down a bit...
Whatever the truth, there's little at the moment except the shifting of energies, the swell and ebb of chi within the World Warrior where he sits amongst the aged trees, breathing deeply of the night air.

Well, Cammy had no idea that the self or otherwise proclaimed Strongest Woman in the World had chosen to attack Ryu earlier in the day. Had she have known, she may have waited another day to challenge Ryu... just to make sure the man was in peak fighting condition. Alas, Cammy is not a mind-reader. Crawling on elbow and knee now, Cammy continues to creep up on Ryu... fifteen meters away... ten meters away... and Cammy pauses at seven meters, considering that a small victory.
The shifting of the energies all about her went unnoticed by Cammy, who was more or less blind to such things. What she was -not- blind to was the power within Ryu himself. Sensing it more fully now that she was this close, Cammy allows herself a meager grin, the girl then calling out, "Ryu!"... moments before dropping flat against the ground, dropping her head so that her face was mashed into the slush as well. Which was... uncomfortable, but if it aided in Ryu not being able to find her, well... it was all good.

The subtle disruptions Cammy brings about creeping near become more noticeable as she closes, casting greater ripples through the currents of the chi being channeled and sensed by the Ansatsuken master. It's a rather different stalking from the one a rather addled Doll tried some time back, and it works a fair bit better with Cammy focused in on that singular task, calm about it... or even enjoying it. There's a nagging sense of her arrival even as she chooses to announce it, and Ryu's gaze quickly snaps back over his shoulder towards the source of that sound.
... of course, there's not much to see there. So he pushes to his feet, somewhat cautiously stepping a few paces in the underbrush to gaze out across the shadowy woods. It takes him a moment, but he certainly knows the voice, as well as the young woman behind it, "Cammy?" he calls out, the inquisitive tone echoing the fact that he hasn't quite placed her yet.

That was a different time, and while the basic elements that make up Cammy are the same... the girl is very different now, than she was then. But drat. Somehow, Ryu had figured out who she was! This shocks the Pacific High student, but also helps to begin a slow smile of amusement on her lips. Pushing up off of the ground with a strong sort of push, Cammy jackknifes herself, slapping her feet to the ground, before whipping up her torso, her pigtails flying through the air with that sudden movement. And with that movement, Cammy screams, "YAAA!", holding up both of her hands at head level, palms facing Ryu. Holding that pose for a moment, Cammy then wiggles the ends of her fingers, assuming she wasn't reflexively attacked or something.

The nature of her greeting certainly cements the idea that this is a very different time, with a very different girl. Or at least, the girl herself, rather than the construct. Cammy's motion immediately reveals her wherebouts, Ryu's gaze following the graceful leap back to her feet. Reflexively attack her? Doesn't look like that's the instinctual reaction, as he offers a smile to the wave, and nods slowly in return towards the blonde, "You're picking a remote spot to sneak around tonight, aren't you?" He observes, though he sounds more amused than anything, good-naturedly so, "Looking for me?" It seems like a reasonable conclusion, even if it is slightly self-centered. He's curious about her reasons, obviously, and her intent, "You've got a..." he clears his throat, and reaches out to carefully pluck a sopping leaf from the edge of the young woman's cheek. At least, if she doesn't display her darting skills.

Unfortunately, Cammy does. Having come to this clearing with the intent to challenge, any movement, (such as potentially grabbing for her), was reacted to with that in mind. Darting right, out of the way of Ryu's grasp, Cammy then backflips away from the man, landing with a 'crunch' noise upon the grass once again. "...I've got a medal, yes!" Cammy says, her right hand rising to the zipper on her windbreaker, the girl taking a hold of that, and zipping it halfway down with one fluid movement; at the same time, her left hand lifting to point down at Ryu's belt. Presuming her sight wasn't failing her, that was a medal too. "And so do you! I wish to challenge you for yours." she states, grinning up at the Ansatsuken Master.

Evidently Cammy wants the leaf left alone, and so it is! She's far quicker than the casual gesture, and it's a reminder of just how fast the young fighter is. Ryu returns her smile more subtle, and shifts in the grass, taking a quick survey of his surroundings as his bare feet settle into a ready stance, fists rising before him, "As you wish." He concedes simply, looking all the more glad to see Cammy with this little revelation. But then... when has Ryu turned away from a fight? Particularly one with a warrior as spirited as the blonde who trekked all this way to pick one, "Whenever you're ready." He concedes simply, smile still in place, but fading some from his features. Dark eyes glimmer as they study her, however.

Cammy didn't even feel the leaf! Or she could, but... well, she had other overriding concerns in her mind, and that strange tickling sensation on the left side of her face wasn't one of those concerns. At Ryu's acceptance, however, Cammy's eyes narrow and her grin both widens and grows thinner, the ex-Doll lifting up her hands in front of herself, hands clenched into tight, tight fists.
"If you're -sure-..." Cammy says... and then she was in motion. A single step taken towards Ryu, before she throws herself up into the air, tucking into a tight, tight ball as she flies towards Ryu. And when the curled up Cammy reaches near Ryu's legs, presuming they're still there? She would explode out from that ball, aiming a kick to the side of Ryu's knee. That was just the first part, meant to stagger the man. For as soon as she hits the ground, she leaps upwards, driving her feet into his gut, and grabbing onto the shoulders of his gi as she then flings herself backwards... and when her back then hits the ground, kicking out with her feet, and releasing his gi, to (hopefully) send him sailing over her head. That is, presuming that Ryu didn't do anything silly like sidestep her manuever.

A single nod is the nomad's confirmation to the rhetorical question... but maybe he's not quite as ready as he'd hoped to be, as he staggers to the side, doubles over, and goes sailing into the air courtesy of the blonde's powerful footwork. Launched into the dirt, he slides and tumbles out of the impact, kicking back to his feet and shaking a bit of grass from his hair with a brisk motion of his head. As he lands, his arms sweep forward, hands shoving a voluminous burst of blue-white chi that surges forth from his palms into a flaring, wildly quick sphere that blasts forth as his hands meet before him, the gusting luminescence hurtling in at Cammy echoed by a fervent, "Hadooouken!!!"

Right. This was starting well enough. Kip-upping to her feet soon after the sacrifice throw, Cammy whirls about towards Ryu... and instead of attempting to get out of the way of the incoming fireball... Cammy drops down to one knee, braces herself as she lifts her forearms in a breath's time to intercept... and moments before the impact of hadouken against forearm, there is a flash of darkish blue energy from Cammy's arms, the energy somehow not casting a light in the darkness. The hadouken comes right through that anyways, slapping against her arms, and knocking her backwards to land on her behind anyways. It was worth a shot, right?
Gathering herself up to her feet, Cammy shakes out her arms... and then tenses. A brief moment passes, before the student is up in the air again, throwing her arms out to her sides as she whirls like a top, the bottoms of her feet facing the cold earth always. And about midway to the point where Ryu is, Cammy's arms begin to spark with a faux bluish flame, the girl then bringing both her arms in towards her chest with a yell, the speed of her whirling increasing. And when her feet strike earth once again, hopefully near Ryu... Cammy whips out her left arm, lashing it towards Ryu's head in a backhanded, energy-laced blow.

Ryu studies Cammy's defense of the initial Hadouken as she deflects it, then rushes in... but his study of her trajectory is a bit off, and instead of weaving aside, he gets a bit of help as Cammy's backhand slams squarely into the side of his skull, sending the World Warrior staggering and then dropping to his knees with a grunt, another brisk shake of his head coming as he tries to shake off the impacts suffered thus far, with marginal success, "Not bad at all." He compliments steadily, raising his eyes to Cammy, "You came here to go all-out. Good." She's remembered a lot, or devised it all over again, and Ryu is pleased to see it. Springing from his crouch, his legs tucked up underneath him, he launches himself through the air and in an arc down at Cammy, his right fist coiling back, to launch powerfully down, an overhead snapping straight that threatens to slam her solar plexus rather soundly in reprisal, "Kyaaaaaaah!!!"

"You're not-..." Cammy says, whipping her hand back to herself as Ryu's fist comes in. "...one..." she says at the same time as the World Warrior's kiai, the girl throwing herself backwards and up at the very same time as his shout. Grabbing Ryu's fist as she flies down at the same trajectory as him, she twists around, hopefully throwing the man's landing far off balance (and add a bit of sting to that wrist of his) as she swings nimbly aside, still in the air. "...one that should be gone easy with!!" Cammy cries, hopefully landing safely on her feet a short distance away.

Ryu merely twists a bit faster than Cammy intended, out of the throw and into a quick spin of a landing. One that brings him down facing the young fighter's landing spot, his fists holding a ready guard in front of him, "Neither are you." Ryu observes steadily, a slight smile returning to his face for a moment, as all that gathered chi from earlier all but spills over, the wind suddenly picking up to intense levels, and then higher, rushing through the trees with branch-shaking intensity as the Ansatsuken master steels his mind, and the gale shifts, rushing outwards in all directions, tangible waves of wind slicing through the forest with nearly heated gusts. All emenating from a single source, the nomad himself.

COMBATSYS: Ryu gathers his will.

Finally landing on her feet, Cammy whirls around just in time to catch that compliment, the girl's grin growing wide. Very wide. Instead of answering with words, Cammy chooses to answer with action. Instead of advancing upon the chi-gathering warrior, however... Cammy backflips away, her hands rising above her head to catch herself in a handstand, her beret staying on her head somehow. A push, and Cammy flips back up unto her feet, the girl repeating those motions... until she nears a tree. Pushing up from the handstand portion a bit harder than the previous ones, Cammy rights herself in the middle of the air, and spins around, extending a leg as she flies through the branches, the various branches giving her light, ionconsequential scratches... and delivering a sharp kick to the topmost part of tree, a mighty CRACK sounding through the area as the topmost part tumbles... away from Ryu.
Landing on her feet on the other side of the tree, Cammy whirls around once more... and delivers a flying roundhouse kick to what was now the 'top' of the tree, a good sized section (about three feet in height and a foot in diameter) breaking off from there... landing on the ground with a ground-shaking thud... and beginning to tumble very quickly towards Ryu's position.

Whoa. Incoming tree. Ryu's position becomes a bit less peaceful as the top trunk crashes in, and he drops to a crouch, slamming a fist into it full-on as it crashs in, his other arm coming up to guard his face from the resulting, well... debris. Pieces of tree going flying everywhere, with Ryu at the epicenter of the blast. Two large chunks of wood hurtle in opposite directions back off into the woods, crashing over foliage and crushing underbrush until each thwunks loudly into the trunk of a more resilient tree. Ryu, for his part, rises back to his feet, and once again calmly sets into a ready stance. Willing to wait this fight out pacifist-style? Hardly. By the intent look in his dark eyes, he's simply looking for a good moment to strike. Which Cammy is making difficult!

COMBATSYS: Ryu focuses on his next action.

If Cammy had her druthers, she would continue to make such things difficult. Landing on the ground after her impromptu tree pruning, Cammy gives her kicking leg a little shake to wiggle a bit of the soreness out of it, her eyes watching Ryu over where he was at. Casting another little grin in the World Warrior's direction, Cammy bends her knees, before springing upwards once more, Cammy crossing her arms over her chest as she whirls in a slow circle, her pigtails flying out away from herself... before she extends a foot, slamming it into the 'top' of the poor tree yet again, knocking off another chunk that sprays sap and splinters at the point of impact, the heavy chunk of wood rolling it's merry way towards Ryu. And as Cammy descends once again, a song begins to play in her mind. . o (I'm a lumberjack and that's okaaaay...)

Lumberjack, meet papermill. As the second tree gets weakened up, Ryu's well aware what Cammy's antics are going to yield. This time, as the tree starts crashing his way, Ryu's already got a sizeable force of chi gathered between his hands, "Shiiiinkuuuuuu...." he incants, the fiercely swirling vortex of dark blues drawing viciously at the air about the nomad as the chi energy build and builds, to a level more than capable of doing what it does next.... crushing through the incoming tree in dramatic fashion, wood cracking and smouldering, bursting off in splinters as the Hadouken crosses, then consumes the entire thing, flickering and crackling madly as it swirls on towards Cammy, "Hadoooouken!!!!!"

Ryu              0/-------/-------|=======\==-----\1            Cammy


Consider the hunk of tree properly papermilled. And Cammy along with that. The huge ball of chi chews up the bit of tree as if it were nothing, and Cammy, drawing a hissing breath between her teeth, her face growing much more serious... tries to leap out of the way. But alas. Too fast, and too damn -strong-. The chiball hits her like a semitruck, knocking her away from Ryu and into another tree, the girl slapping against the tree with a *CRUNCH* noise, before she falls to the ground at the base of the tree, slumping over somewhat. She -knew- Ryu would chew her up like he had done... too many times before, but did that stop her?
No, in fact, that just encouraged her to try harder. Lifting up her brilliantly blue gaze to the form of the Ansatsuken master, Cammy's eyes focus upon him, as she favours him with a weak grin, lifting up a hand to wipe at the corner of her mouth. "Good!" she calls out. "But that's the -last- good hit you'll get on me!!" she cries out. And with that, she was on the move again, rising up to her feet, and then beginning to approach Ryu at a rapid sprint, her feet kicking up tufts of grass as she sprints far faster than she ought to be able to... she was aiming to move past Ryu, whipping out a leg towards his right leg as she passes, hoping to knock it out from beneath him. If she did, she would reach down and grab the man by the ankle of the foot she kicked out, reaching around her other arm towards his neck, wrapping the muscular limb around it and squeezing... before pulling his leg up, and neck downwards, holding that until she hears a satisfying 'crack' to match the one she took, before releasing the man.

There's no crack to satisfy Cammy's Hadouken hit and run, not this time... Ryu throws himself out of the way of the blonde's kick-and-grab, a quick hop aside carrying him clear, as he lands with a half-twist to reorient himself with his opponent, "I was just thinking the same thing, reversed!" He fires back, grinning once as his eyes meet hers, and then he's in motion again. A forward sprint, two good strides, leads into a quick upwards leap at nearly point-blank range. The intent, quite simply, is apparent in his bullet-train ascent... his left foot snaps out, looking to plant a heel squarely in the underside of Cammy's jaw on the way up, "Haaaaah!!!" Looks like he's aiming to make her eat her words early, tonight... then again, there's also that whole matter of seeing just how far Cammy can push it.

Ryu              0/-------/------=|=======\=====--\1            Cammy


Consider her words eaten.
Ryu's left foot impacts Cammy's jaw with a resounding crack, Cammy's eyes going a bit blank as her head snaps backwards, the girl's beret lifting up, off of her head, and flying away from herself to tumble unto the ground nearby. Cammy's body strikes the ground a few moments before that. Lying there for a few moments, Cammy groans a little bit, before flinging herself into a backwards roll, blood beginning to leak out from between her teeth as she rises to her feet once again, her face set in a serious grimace. She couldn't goof around, not anymore. In two hits... two clean hits, she was reduced from fighting at near full strength, to... this. Backpedaling slowly away from Ryu, she twists her head a bit to one side, and spits to temporarily clear her mouth of blood, her eyes remaining focused upon Ryu.
A beat... two...
"LOCK ON!" she cries out, dashing towards Ryu as her entire legs burst into blue energy, the speed of her sprint increasing past speeds she thought she was able to push... and when she nears Ryu (far faster than she should've), she launches up into the air, aiming to strike him under the chin with a knee.
That would just be the start. Once she lands upon ground again, Cammy would lash out, striking Ryu in the knee, torso, then neck, finally ending by leaping up into the air, whirling around, and delivering a sharp and powerful kick to the back of Ryu's head, likely as he staggers backwards from the whirlwind of blows.

Ryu lands out of the powerful kick from a graceful, precise descent, holding his position on a small patch of moss as Cammy's energy spikes... but rather than under the chin, her rising kick catches crossed forearms, and the combination of strikes that follow, well... the nomad moves in anticipation of them, dropping low or guarding high as necessary, his gloved fists deflecting the searing, psycho-powered strikes in tandem with his forearms. It's still a painful process, but one which Ryu weathers rather well, considering. As Cammy leaps high, however, the nomad's no longer there... leaping to the side, himself, and planting a bare foot against the side of a thick tree-trunk, before he vaults diagonally off it and flips a full midair twist to snap his heel around towards the side of Cammy's head, instead. That sounds like a better finish to the move, to him! "Haaaaah!!"

Cammy didn't quite agree. Although her disapproval only comes with a "Grk!" noise from her as her head is snapped to the side. Staggering off to the side, Cammy's fists loosen as the girl just about swoons, pitching back, and then forward.
A moment, and then Cammy tightens her fists once again, whipping up her gaze towards Ryu, a certain light in them. Teeth gritting in sheer determination, Cammy crouches low... and then launches herself up towards Ryu, inverting herself as she rises. She leads her ascent with her right foot, which begins to blaze with bluish energy, Cammy hoping to strike the Ansatsuken master in the head, as she wetly cries, "CANNON SPIKE!!"

It all happens in a moment, as both fighters land in such close proximity to one another. Cammy moves first, but only just barely, and as she drops low, Ryu twists counter-clockwise. As the ex-Doll rises, the bluish flames that lick her boot scorch up Ryu's chest as he leans away from the strike, gritting his teeth and drawing his right leg high, as he continues to twist to bring it in-line... and rather than finishing her upwards motion, Cammy finds herself with a sudden side-thrust bringing Ryu's heel cleanly into her jaw one more time, thanks to her half-inverted posture, and reversing her technique forcefully to send her sailing back to way she came with a fervent kiai. The nomad then follows through the kick's momentum, twisting to face Cammy sidelong in a ready stance once more, his breath coming a fair bit harder now. She certainly put up a fight, "I was hoping you'd come." He offers simply, though he doesn't look to be dropping his guard to talk just yet.

The response to Ryu? Well... about all she could manage at the moment was a gurgle, as Cammy falls to the ground once again.
And after a brief pause Cammy rises once more without responding to Ryu's words, her legs wobbling beneath her as she straightens up. Keeping her narrowed eyes upon Ryu, she wobbles with a step one way, then wobbles the other way, her bare fists tightening until her knuckles turn very white.
That subtle detail is likely missed in the dark, but what would not be missed was the upsurge of power that rises within her, the once-Doll beginning to charge at Ryu again. This time, she begins with a foot-first, spiraling leap towards Ryu, her legs beginning to blaze with energy once more... and should Cammy strike with that, she would fall to the ground, before launching herself upwards, the soles of her boots facing the heavens... and hopefully, the underside of Ryu's chin. About midway up, however... assuming Ryu didn't put her down harder, or anything, her flight would begin to wobble, and instead of landing upon her feet, she would fall to the ground in a heap of limbs.

COMBATSYS: Cammy can no longer fight.
