Description: It's a Halloween Party at the Harbor! The Heavenly Hip-Hop Honey of Southtown bumps into fellow Strongest! Shinobu. They then turn into giant robots and battle one another TO THE DEATH*. *Disclaimer: There are no giant robots or death in this log. (Winner: Shinobu)
It's the middle of the afternoon, and it looks like there's something going on in the Harbor. But what, what could it be??
It's not difficult to tell actually, there's a party going on on a yaht that has pulled up to the harbor. It's a party of sorts open to the public that promises free food for all, but you have to be in costume.
Whoever set this up must be a really nice person!
As such, Li Xiangfei, the Heavenly Hip-Hop Honey of Southtown has found herself on board, dressed up in her totally awesome chinese zombie costume, and her hat is perfect for storing candies and bags of chips. On the chest of her costume? This of course is a medal, signifying she's in the medals tournament. It looks like so far she's the only one on the boat who's a fighter, but the rules are the rules!
Shinobu walks on board, looking back and forth. Her costume isn't quite so elaborate; she has little bat-horns and a forked tail, but nothing particularly bizarre. Of course, being a fighter, she's the equivalent of the 800 pound gorilla, only rather lighter and cuter. Gathered near the good table, she picks away at things, usually eating them near-whole, and then looks up to Xiangfei. She blinks a couple of times, and then just closes her eyes, smiling cluelessly and innocently rather than greeting verbally. And yes, there is a medal there.
Xiangfei mnnns? Her eyes shift toward Shinobu, looking rather.. Confused at first, she just continues on her way; well isn't that nice, it's her good buddy Shinobu and she's here at the party dressed as a devil! Now back to business of stuffing her mouth with chips.. Well, that is until she double-takes to the medal and yells, bits flying out her mouth, "FINOGU!!" she cries, cheeks similar to a chipmunks, "Fo 'if if haw if goin koo be? Fate haff ne'er geen mo' cruel! Lef uf DO GATTEL!!"
Suddenly a couple of people whom are dressed as a vampire and a sexy nurse turn around, and produce a camcorder and a microphone out of nowhere, "Ladies and gentlemen, this is Mary-Adda on live broadcast, where a Medal Battle is about to take place! Will the Devil accept the challenge of the Ghost?? Stay tuned!"
COMBATSYS: Xiangfei has started a fight here.

Xiangfei 0/-------/-------|
"Ah, just what I was thinking...", says Shinobu in a bit more of a sheepish tone, and then opens her eyes. She holds out a fist, and puts her foot on the table dramatically!... and indecently. "... but it's only gonna be cruel to you!", she declares more loudly. That's before the tablecover slips, and she falls backward, crashing into the deck. A moment later she stands up, rubbing her head. "Etai...", she mumbles in pain.
COMBATSYS: Shinobu has joined the fight here.

Shinobu 0/-------/-------|-------\-------\0 Xiangfei
This is the part of the game where the two fighters are supposed to have specian animations- It looks like Shinobu was the only one in this case though.. Only because Xiang is busy rolling up the sleeves of her costume to free her arms. Even still, the beginnings are dramatic! One can definatly feel the burning sense of rivalry, friendship, and competition at once! "G'uh?" Xiangfei sputters, then pounds her chest as she swallows the last of her chips and tosses her hat aside, bursting out laughing to her teamates clumsiness, "AHAHAHA! Girl, you're so clumsy! But enough about tender moments, lets FIGHT! Behold my two episode long power-up sequence, a technique passed on through my family for generations!"
Well... Thast's likely not true, but her golden aura flares anyway, she clapping her hands togeather as a dragon-shaped pillar of chi goes zooming around her form, "HaaAAAAA!!!"
COMBATSYS: Xiangfei gathers her will.
[ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ < > //////////////////////////////]
Shinobu 0/-------/-------|====---\-------\0 Xiangfei
Shinobu says, "You haven't prepared for my special weapons!", and reaches back, grabbing one of the life preservers in one hand, threading the rope through her other hand. A moment later, she starts to whip it about like a nunchaku, ducking around it as it does a figure-eight, and then swings it out towards Xiangfei. "Haaa!", she declares, trying to knock the chinese girl upside the head with the hard plastic donut! "I'll beat you the first commerical break!"
COMBATSYS: Xiangfei blocks Shinobu's Large Thrown Object.
[ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ < > //////////////////////////// ]
Shinobu 0/-------/-------|=====--\-------\0 Xiangfei
"Secret weapon?" Xiangfei repeats in mid-power up, and gives one of those cheesy kung-fu laughs, "Ha ha ha! We shall see, Shinobu-sa-- G'ah!" Preserver-chucks. She's fighting a real life Jackie Chan today; this will definatly prove to be an interesting fight! The weapon whipped her way, she throws up her arm, wrist guards still about them to take a bit of impact off the swing, "Ha!" he opposite hand, it reaches into her costume pocket, and whips out a yen coin- This is a little weird, since she's right handed, but she goes ahead and flicks it anyway, attempting to bean the teamate between the eyes, "My counter attack!"
COMBATSYS: Shinobu dodges Xiangfei's Thrown Object.
[ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ < > //////////////////////////// ]
Shinobu 0/-------/-------|=====--\-------\0 Xiangfei
Shinobu starts to run at Xiangfei, throwing the preserver forward. But just before the coin would have struck, she vanishes with a fluttering sound as she goes /low/, coming up under that buffet table! Bursting out the other side and causing the tablecloth to billow up, she springs at Xiangfei, catching the preserver and trying to plant it over one of Xiangfei's arms... in order to yank her closer for a bit of footborne pain!
COMBATSYS: Shinobu successfully hits Xiangfei with Spin Crasher.
-* CRITICAL HIT! *-
[ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ < > /////////////////////// ]
Shinobu 0/-------/------=|=======\=------\1 Xiangfei
As she yanks her forward, there's a high-pitched cry of "Waaataiiii!" as Shinobu goes into a Kung-fu style flying kick at her entangled opponent!
Uh oh uh oh! Not good! Xiangfei's eyes widen a bit when Shinobu seems to vanish, "Eh?" and by the time the girl re-appears, she can only act on instinct; she leaps upward, unknowing that she would fall into her trap of being caught in the preserver, and is stuck getting belted right in the gut from the kick, "OOOF!" she groans, crashing onto the floor and then a couple of bottles of soda go falling on her head to add insult to injury, ".... ow.."
She continues to lay there for a moment, but then she starts creeping closer toward Shinobu on her back- And if she's not quick enough, Shino's going to find herself dealing with a sudden handspring, looking to hit her friend in the chin with the heel of her foot, "WATAAH!"
COMBATSYS: Shinobu blocks Xiangfei's Esaka.
[ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ < > ///////////////////// ]
Shinobu 0/-------/-----==|=======\=------\1 Xiangfei
Shinobu raises a hand, taking the impact on her palm instead of her chin! "You okay fighting in that?", she asks... again. Slipping the attack aside, she turns with the attack, trying to slam a punch into Xiangfei's chest with her other hand as she advances! It's nothing fancy - just a simple power shot aimed to keep her friend off-balance. She may be a bit concerned, but not enough to go easy on her!
COMBATSYS: Xiangfei fails to interrupt Strong Punch from Shinobu with Ryokuchi Kou'en.

Shinobu 0/-------/-----==|=======\==-----\1 Xiangfei
Xiangfei nods her head slowly to Shinobu with a bit of a goofy grin, "Y.. Yeah, I'll be fine," she says to the other girl with a wink, "Baggy pants aren't anything new to me!" She lands on her feet, and when Shinobu throws a punch her way, she believes it's an opening for a big attack!
She tries to catch the fist but to no avail, it clobbering her good and hard, and she doubles over, looking to be open for another attack, ".. Ugh.."
Shinobu slips back, hefting up the preserver again. The irony of it being used as a weapon.... well. She throws it forward, seeming to aim well above Xiangfei, but then yanks on it, bringing it down towards the chinese girl. Apparently, the devil's horns seem to be giving her power! Maybe they're magical horns! Maybe she has the half-fiend template! ... well, no. But it certainly does emphasize the nasty quality of the beating she's dishing out so far...
COMBATSYS: Xiangfei slows Large Thrown Object from Shinobu with Large Thrown Object.
- Power hit! -
[ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ < > ///////////// ]
Shinobu 0/-------/-----==|=======\==-----\1 Xiangfei
Xiangfei isn't out of it yet! This is quite obvious, but boy is Shino giving the Hip-Hop Honey a run for her money today! Xiang sees the preserver coming her way, but her answer to that problem? Why that's with not one, but -two- sealed soda bottles that in a crouched position, she hucks them upward, knocking the preserver into the air, "Ha -HA-!!" she cries proudly, "Your Preserver-Fu is impressive, but it is no match fo-" *BONK* it lands right on her head, and- Again seems to knock her for a loop, swaying from side to side, ".... b'uh.."
Shinobu stares at Xiangfei as she gets thrown for a loop - no pun intended. "This isn't really like you...", she comments with mild bewilderment, and as the life preserver rolls off to the side, she runs forward. Making a fist, she says, "Okay, this is to wake you up!", and then leaps forward as she tries clock Xiangfei, her fist blurring with speed as it swings out in a wide arc!
COMBATSYS: Xiangfei blocks Shinobu's Strong Punch.

Shinobu 0/-------/-----==|=======\===----\1 Xiangfei
Xiangfei just.. Kind of sweatdrops to Shinobu, giving a bit of a nervous chuckle as she rubs the back of her head, "Um.." Really, what can she say, it would seem like she's off her game today; but even Xiang couldn't say why. She deals with this punch with a bit of a wild block, twirling around and catching the fist with her back to Shinobu. She doesn't really have a comment, letting her fighting do the talking as she hops up and delivers a double footed kick, giving her momentum to flip in the air and land on her feet- Borrowed from Sakura!
COMBATSYS: Shinobu blocks Xiangfei's Quick Throw.

Shinobu 0/-------/----===|=======\====---\1 Xiangfei
Though caught, Shinobu raises her other arm to fend off the drop kick, and slides back. "Good!", she compliments, and reaches back into her sweater. "Time for my new technique, okay?" In a quick motion, she flicks her wrist out, and... a... kunai flies at Xiangfei, slipping from Shinobu's finger! Thankfully, it's blunted, but it's still a flying iron weight to contend with. For a moment, Shinobu was almost getting predictable. And she can't have that!
COMBATSYS: Xiangfei overcomes Thrown Object from Shinobu with Nanpa.
[ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ < > /////////// ]
Shinobu 0/-------/----===|=======\====---\1 Xiangfei
A new trick? Xiangfei's eyes widen a bit to Shinobus boast, and the girl grins a bit, "Oh yeah? What do ya got?"
The kunai thrown her way, Xiangfei is almost so suprised that she doesn't react at first- Did Hoku teach her that? "Holy cow!"
But in complete kung-fu grace, she snaps her hand up and catches it between her pointer and middle fingers with a smile, "Ta-daa!" Then it's thrown up in the air toward Shinobu- But this is just a farce! She rushes in toward the hopefully distracted girl, claps her hands and releases a short burst of blue chi at Shinobu, "HA!"
COMBATSYS: Shinobu slows Nanpa from Xiangfei with Petite Pop.
[ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ < > /////////// ]
Shinobu 0/-------/-----==|=======\====---\1 Xiangfei
Shinobu blinks, and says, "Ah, my kunai...!", as it flies off. Color her distracted, and the attack... well, she manages her own blue bubble, winging it at the Nanpa. But it doesn't hit straight, and instead grazes the burst, detonating and sending the ball of energy into her leg rather than her chest. With the impact, her leg swings out from under her, and she swiftly faceplants into the ground with a cry!
Xiangfei.. Well she feels a little bad about doing a trick so sneaky, but when in battle, what is done must be done! "Sorry!" she apologizes, and seems to have gotten lucky with her attack having enough strength to go all the way through- She stares down at her friend, conteplates a moment, and then jumps in the air and starts stomping with her tip-toes on the girls back, "Haa-t-t-t-t-t-t-TAH!" about a good four quick stamps backfore backflipping off, "Hup!"
COMBATSYS: Xiangfei successfully hits Shinobu with Light Kick.

Shinobu 0/-------/--=====|=======\====---\1 Xiangfei
Shinobu gets stepped on, and then presses herself back up to her feet, Her eye twitches, and she frowns, saying, "Even as a friend... I can't forgive that!" Shaking a little, she grabs a mearby table, bunching the tablecloth between her fingers. Narrowing her eyes, she then yanks it as hard as she can. The objects on the table shift about to inches, and she raises her fist, holding up it up as if brandishing a cape. "Prepare yourself!", she cries, whipping it out as it flutters behind her like a hanner.
COMBATSYS: Shinobu gathers her will.

Shinobu 1/------=/=======|=======\====---\1 Xiangfei
Xiangfei's eyes half-lid a bit, and then she shakes a finger at Shinobu, "Oh come on, that was a perfectly valid technique, the Roosters Bicycle! Uh.. Granted you weren't supposed to be laying down," she chuckles sheepishly, scritching her cheek.
It looks like Shinobu is about to break out with the big, powerful pose, and her eyes widen a bit, "Oh snap," she gasps- Is she intimidated? No! In fact she zips at the girl to teach her to upstage the Hip-Hop Honey, "Floating on the Clouds!" she cries, leaping at Shinobu with a spinning kick to her side. This is then followed by a hopping knee to the girls gut and then hops with a second kick, but this time striking with her shin instead of her knee. "Hup! Ho! HA!"
COMBATSYS: Shinobu blocks Xiangfei's Heavy Kick.
[ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ < > //////////// ]
Shinobu 1/----===/=======|=======\=====--\1 Xiangfei
With a twirl, Shinobu catches the series on the cloth, blunting their force. She winces with each impact, but she seems to take it pretty well! Under her hands, she closes off the edge of the tablecloth, as her mind comes up with a new idea! Using the cloth as the 'skin', she shapes her chi under it, making the material billow and shift... until it resembles something akin to a beach ball, pinched by Shinobu's hands! "Get ready for... Mega Pop!", she cries, swinging the ungainly, and tsunami-filled cloth at Xiangfei! It may not be fast, but the detonation will be amazing!
COMBATSYS: Xiangfei blocks Shinobu's Final Finish.
[ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ < > ///////// ]
Shinobu 0/-------/-------|=======\======-\1 Xiangfei
"M.. M.. Mega Pop??" Xiangfei repeats, for after her blows are met and dealt with, the disbelief is just added on to the disbelief she's already feeling, and she can't remember the name of such an attack. And the shaping of the cloth, that's actually REALLY cool, "Snaps!" the thing is thrown at her and she mutters something as she throws a fist at the cloth.
*BOMB*
Her hair and clothing blow back violently, the chinese girls eyes crossed a moment and her ears ringing. Her chant seemed to have protected her from quite a bit of the force. She shakes her head though and then presses onward, lounging at her teamate with a strong palmthrust with her opposite hand and a big step forward, "HAA!" she leans back, then throws both palms forward toward the girls chest, "KYAH!" and finally, she spins around and throws her weight into a shoulder-rush, three powerful blows! "KAAAH!"
COMBATSYS: Xiangfei successfully hits Shinobu with Chou Pai-Long.
[ \\\\\\\\\\\ < > ///////// ]
Shinobu 0/-------/----===|======-\-------\0 Xiangfei
Blown back by her own attack, Shinobu is a little shellshocked herself, shaking her head, and the best she can do is roll with Xiangfei's assault. Her body moves back with the attack, reducing the impact of each blow... and with a final hop back, she shoulder-thrust lands, slamming her aagainst the outer railing. With a *crack*, the railing snaps, but thankfully, only in one place, holding Shinobu on board. She gets up with a grin. "That's more like the Xiangfei I know...", and then rushes at Xiangfei again. Rather than attack straightforward, though, she dives like a baseball star... and as she skids past Xiangfei, one arm slams down on the deck, bouncing her into the air... as she swings out with her other arm, trying to catch Xiangfei with a flanking punch from below!
COMBATSYS: Xiangfei blocks Shinobu's Strong Punch.

Shinobu 0/-------/----===|=======\-------\0 Xiangfei
Xiangfei grins a little, and.. Well her cheeks pinken to Shinobus compliment, "Heh heh, yeah, sorry," she replies a bit embarassedly, "I guess I was full or something, I didn't mean to worry you!" she winces to the property damage though and laughs nervously. She's not paying for that!
Shinobu zooms at her and she blinks as the girl zooms by- But she won't fall for the same trick twice! "Ha!" she throws out her arm behind her to block what she expected to be a front attack, Instead it's from below! She grunts, shifting her feet a little and manages to deflect the lower blow just in time, throwing her opposite palm out, "You're just as difficult to read as ever, Shino, try this!" she attacks with a quick chop to Shinobus shoulder, then spins around to give another quick chop across her chest, "Hut-Tah!"
COMBATSYS: Xiangfei successfully hits Shinobu with Quick Punch.
- Power hit! -

Shinobu 0/-------/--=====|=======\-------\1 Xiangfei
Suprise! Xiangfei tags in one more blow to complete the combination, a palm thrust to Shinobus chest as well! "Hah!" please don't read to far in her choice of striking spots.
Shinobu is slammed down against the deck, grimacing with the the attacks. But rather than get up, she reveals... two handfuls of the blunted shuriken, one between each finger! Whipping them out, she tries to catch Xiangfei before she an retract with a flurry of the metal bullets, with a "Gotcha!", pretending like she actually planned it. In reality, she /did/ mean to get hit, but not quite so hard! Still, she follows through as best she can with another new attack!
COMBATSYS: Xiangfei slows Large Thrown Object from Shinobu with Nanpa.

Shinobu 0/-------/--=====|
And so it would seem that Xiangfei has new toys to deal with, when Shinobu hucks those stars at her, the girls eyes widen a bit, "Shuriken??" she cries, looking impressed, and then she claps her hands and throws her own blast to deal with the attack, "HA!"
However she seems to have forgotten, that Shinobu is the object throwing MASTER! It seems the stars survive the blast, each one nailing her shoulders and sends her crashing onto her back! The girl groans lightly, sitting up and looks like she had exerted a bit too much energy in her blast, because she doesn't feel that will to fight anymore, "... Drat," she mumbles to herself, taking off her medal and hands it in offering to Shino, ".. Well, I almost had that one, but you won this fight Shinobu.."
Squinting an eye, Shinobu stands up, and says, "Man, you were tougher this time, but..." She takes the medal, closing her hand over it. Wobbling a little, she smiles, and turns towards the cookies, gobbling them down. She's no master glutton like Xiangfei, but she needs sugar, stat! Wiping her mouth free of crumbs, she looks over her shoulder. "Manks or th' 'ight.", she says, halfway through the chewing process. Ewwwww.
Hmmnn.. Hey, that's not a bad idea! Food looks pretty good, a party is still a party, right? She gets up to her feet, and then gives a bit of a boisterous laughter, "Ha ha ha!! Hey, no problem, Shino! Good luck on the rest of the tournament!" Xiangfei's eyes shift then to the cookies as well, and she joins along with the shoverling. Naum naum naum!
"And thus wraps up todays battle, with the Devil proving herself stronger then the Ghost today! This is Mary-Adda Liddlamb, signing off!"
