Description: ... okay, just keep reading till the end folks. No mistaking it, this is a free-for-all with a very tense ending... (Triple KO)
The day is getting on to be late in the evening, with the skies partially overcast, concealing the moon and the stars. The park is fairly dark as a result, the only real sources of illumination coming from scattered lampposts and the everpresent ambient glow from the many lights of Southtown, enough to keep things nearby from ever getting truly dark. For Guy, this is a good thing.
Make no mistake, he can operate without being to see clearly, but in a place with uneven footing with the park, for what basically accounts to be a simple, relatively unimportant fight? There's no sense in taking risk that you don't need to take.
As a result, thinking on this, he's in a sort of ambivilant mood, just standing in the random section of the park that the SNF guys chose to set up at, which to your average person watching would make him look sort of pissed off. And maybe he is just a little impatient, but it's not like Guy's doing anything about it, so there's no reason to complain.
Kula Diamond has a simple means of making sure she doesn't trip over anything. Her feet never leave the ground. That's right, the girl has come prepared for once, and her hair is already blue, covered in ice crystals. She skates easily along the ground as she approaches the area she's supposed to be fighting in, still a bit fresh off her high of watching an earlier event. Which is why she might not be paying as much attention when that rock seems to suddenly jut out of nowhere and keep one foot from sliding any further on her homemade ice path.
"Whaughk!" Thud. Ow. Kula pushes herself back up and dusts herself off, and then hurries over to catch up, skating forgotten for the moment. Picking off the last grass stain off her leather outfit, Kula waves to Guy before moving over to where she's directed, bouncing lightly on her heels as she waits for the fight to begin.
Benimaru Nikaido? He was around, of course. But he was around brooding a lot darker than usual. As the 'ring' is being set up, he's been standing within a crowd of shouting fans, staring at the program.
This was really unbelievable, how could Alma, Vyle, and Jiro get in a match ahead of /him/? "Disgusting," the blonde mutters, wearing a navy-blue business suit today instead or any fancy fight-attire. The program is crumpled in one hand, the other holding a black briefcase, and he takes a moment to sign a few autographs despite his dark mood.
Suddenly there's a cry from the announcer, whom seems to just assume all the fighters are present and introduces them as a sign to meet up in the 'ring' centered with chalk and spraypaint, cut in half by one of the main paths. Kula is called first. And then the model, he makes his way through, and then finally Guy.
The model looks to Kula, offering a rather empty smile.

Giving a slight, nearly nonexistant nod to Kula in response to her wave, and then steps into the designated area, just barely on the inside of the chalk line, square in the middle of the pathway. He then folds his arms over his chest, and waits. It seems that he's feeling even more inclined toward silence than usual, because even then he just stands there, waiting for fight to begin. And after Guy enters, the official signals something to that effect, shouting out, "Fight!"
The sneaker ninja...ignores him, seemingly, just standing there and waiting on his two opponents.

Man, it's pretty sad when Kula Diamond is inclined to /make/ people speak. She gives Benimaru a smile back as she steps into the ring area, and the fight is called to start...and people stand there. Well, forget that! Kula tugs her gloves on tightly, and then immediately skates towards ... Benimaru. She can count on him to make a show interesting and play along!
At least, she hopes so. Giving him her best 'snap out of it' look (which, let's admit, scolding from Kula? It's like having a kitten beat you to death lawn clippings) she skates towards him and jumps, spinning around and extending a leg out at his chest. She'll even make an awkward "Hee-ya!" sound as she does so. /Someone/ has to make this fight interesting.

Once Guy comes into the picture, suddenly Benimarus baby-blue eyes shift to the sneaker ninja and away from Kula. A light frown plays on his lips, and it's just more painfully obvious that his mind wasn't completely on the fight.
Really, this was just unacceptable, how could Alma /ever/ get into a match after himself? Kulas kick is responded with an almost effortless snap of his arm, deflecting it to the side- And then as about ninety-eight percent of the fans have guessed, lurches forward to deliver a right hook right at Guys cheek. "Nngg!"

Nngg? Man, it sounds like Benimaru is constipated. It's more than a little weird, but Guy stands his ground, even going so far as to take a step forward, getting ready to accept the man's punch full-on. He trips on a rock, not enough to fall on his face, but more than enough to allow Benimaru to manage to push the sneaker ninja back with the force of the blow.
Still, Guy recovers quickly, still feeling fresh and healthy. He's not overly upset about taking that hit in the fashion he did, although you might not be able to tell from hs face. Taking a step forward, he leaps upward, spinning with a leg outstretched, trying to catch Benimaru with his sneaker and drive the freakishly pretty man upward with three successive kicks.
Well, her work there is done, apparently. Benimaru and Guy seem like they're fully prepared to beat the crap out of each other. ...wait a minute.
For a minute, Kula's afraid this is going to turn into another 'Iori v. Benimaru while Kula sits off to the side and plays solitaire' match. Which is what the girl /doesn't/ want. Instead, she backs up a bit, watching the two, and crouches down some, placing a hand on the ground to make sure there's lots of moisture down there for her to tap into if she needs it. And she watches them, getting ready to strike like a mosquito and whittle down when needed.

Benimaru has been having some problems lately wit- Hey, that's none of your business! Guy goes onto the offensive this time and Benimaru is ready, seeming to share the same expression at the ninja. Perhaps.. Perhaps this is a moment of bonding? A moment when two men can share their feelings and sympathise with one another?
Just one solid block is needed this time, crouching to avoid the two that follow and his right hand tightens into a fist. He waits for just the right moment before he lands behind looking to slug Guy in the chest, his hand suddenly bursting with elecrical chi, "Raijin Ken!"

Could it really be? Benimaru...having troubles with his digestive system? Well, it's known that the prettier you are, the more prone to alcoholism you are, it that will dehydrate you like whoa, so...
In any case, when Benimaru attempts to neatly electricute Guy, the Bushin ninja twists in midair, altering his path so that when he lands, he's already partially to the side. The chi grazes him, causing Guy to clench his jaw just a little bit more tightly, before he goes rolling away, coming to his feet and leaping even further, trying to get a better grasp on events.

Kula knows diddly squat about alcoholism, being overly pretty, digestive issues...so we're just going to skip this paragraph, okay?
Kula watches the two spar back and forth, and sighs. She rushes forward, this time towards Guy, and suddenly slides low, like she was heading for third base. The girl clasps her hands together, and as she goes past, grabs hold of the ground to swing herself around, aiming a kick at the back of the man's legs. Is it just her, or are these two really just unenthusiastic? "Um...Kee-yagha!" ...she needs to learn how to sound tough when she does attacks.
Benimaru is feeling bitter, sue him! Well, don't actually sue him, that would suck. But the model just isn't in the mood to play for the crowd as he usually does, perhaps then, it's a good idea that Kula was thrown into the fray- She did come off as a rather cheerful girl. But would that help this match? Eyes remain locked on Guy, a hand for a moment raising to his chin, and looks to tack on to Kulas attack. If her sweep hits (or even if it doesn't) the orb that suddenly appears in his hand is thrust at Guys chest, holding him in place either by grasping his shoulder or pinning him to the ground briefly as he delivers a strong electric shock, veins of electrical chi twirling about his arm.

Some fights just go like this, really. Whether it's because he's still feeling the effects of a rough fight earlier today, or because he tripped on another rock, the fact of the matter is that Guy gets his ass kicked.
First comes Kula, who does something Guy doesn't expect in the slightest: she goes between his legs. Her sweep hits him cleanly, and actually sends him tumbling forward in just such a way so as to make Benimaru latch onto his face for the pain of electrocution. Yeah, it hurts. In fact, it hurts rather a lot. Guy's barely gotten into things, but that right there? All told, that hurt like whoa. Slumping backward after Benimaru lets go, Guy shakes his head in an attempt to clear it, and then goes into the air again. With Kula on one side, and Benimaru on the other, he's surrounded, and he has a very reliable solution to dealing with being surrounded. Spinning about again, leg outstretched, Guy clears a large circle all around him with a mighty, savage kick. That's Final Fight style, right there!

Kula's pleased her attack happened. She's less pleased at the fact that she just made Guy get an ... what's the thing Candy called it? Electro-...Electralylisis? Anyway, she figures Guy won't have to worry about growing a beard any time soon. That looked like it hurt. Sorta like what Guy seems to be trying to do to her right about now! Kula stands up and braces herself, creating a shield of ice in front of her with her arms...but she got started too late. The foot smashes through it and connects with her, spinning her around and knocking her onto the ground. "Ow!" It's the first honest shout she's done since the fight began.
Kula slowly gets up, and grits her teeth, strategy-be-darned. She rushes forward, and then jumps...not to hit Guy, but rather to use him as a springboard, "Mind your head!" That's right, she's going up, over, and down, a set of ice claws appearing on her hands that Benimaru should be familiar with. They're still blunt, but she twists in midair, trying to swipe at him twice before landing.

In Final Fight, those bad-guys would be flying practically off screen, left and right after an attack like that! Not Benimaru though, he just takes that damn kick head on, taking it right in the side, and tries to be a man about it. But inside a little emotear falls. And he winces with a grunt. Kulas attack is dealt with swiftly enough, he's been on the recieving end of that before and it wasn't pleasent. His left arm slaps at the first claw, pushing Kula upward a little faster so the second strike whiffs him complety, and even directs her a little away from the two. And in the same motion, his right hand forms that ball again, baby-blue eyes widening as he throws another punch at the ninja; this time he crushes the orb and what results is a kalod.. ascope.. of blues, whites, and dark blues, electrical power exploding left and right like fireworks, "RAIKOU KEN!"

There's a certain satisfaction to be had, immediately after dishing out the pain on a level it's just been dished to you at. Guy won't ever admit to it, since thoughts along those lines are unbecoming, but there's definately a pleased edge to his thoughts after he kicks both Benimaru and Kula really hard.
Of course, he's not entirely expecting Kula to jump over his head like that, expecting things more along the lines of Dread Retribution, but since she only goes after Benimaru, it's okay. Benimaru, now. There's some Dread Retribution incoming, and Guy just raises his arms and diverts some chi to absorb as much of the shock as he can.
That accomplished, he's decided that as of now, Kula's a bigger threat than Benimaru, and that means he needs to go after her for a bit. With any luck, Benimaru will get tired of going after Guy and focus on her for a moment, but the sneaker ninja...wouldn't count on it, no. Rushing toward where Kula was redirected by Benimaru, whether she's turned around or not, Guy raises a fist and tries to punch her in the head. She's adorable, but he doesn't really feel bad about it.

Kula is expecting an attack from behind, actually! Simply because most people don't really seem to appreciate having someone jump over their head like that. Kula twists around, reaching out to grab hold of the hand as it comes at her. Her plan? Grab hold, swing him past her, and then come around with her other fist to smack him in the back with a chunk of ice.
...huh. Apparently, he's right-handed when punching schoolgirls. She thought he was left-handed. Kula takes the first right to the face, and falls back on her rear, sliding back a couple feet. "OW!" The cry comes louder that time as Kula shakily picks herself up and eyes Guy a bit more carefully. But she smiles again...looks like people are getting into it.
Poor Kula. Even Benimaru has to wince a little at Kulas botched technique, but, the show must go on. The insanely biased fighter just keeps the pressure on Guy, impressed that he managed to defend so well against his technique, but his time to shine, it was over, sprinting forward and lashing out a quick single-spin kick to the ninjas side.

It's a lucky thing for Guy that Kula fails to appropriately deal with his attack, as his punch hits home. Okay, maybe he's feeling just a little sorry for her, but he's not going to let something like that get in the way.
Still, he's got opportunity, even with Benimaru closing in on the side, and he's going to make good use of it. Shifting his position slightly, Guy angles himself so that Benimaru's kick actually propels him forward toward Kula, at which point the ninja flips out a little bit. Throwing a flurry of punches and kicks at the girl's torso, Guy finishes by backflipping away. Nont that it's over, no, because at that point he leaps right back at her, moving parallel to the ground with one leg outstretched in a huge flying kick that he plants right in the center of her chest.
Kula wobbles a bit as she starts to move forward, and then pauses. The way Guy's positioned, the way Benimaru is swinging at him...Kula leaps back, feet sliding on the ice, but it's too late. The fists connect, her arms flailing weakly to try to stop them. The kick catches her right in the gut, making her eyes bulge out, and sending her flying back to land limply on the ground. Maybe if she lies still, they won't notice her. ...nah, that's a defeatist attitude, and Kula knows she'd hear about it if she went through with it.
Kula slowly gets to her hands and knees, and coughs once before spitting, just to make sure that it is blood she's tasting, and not that she landed on someone's penny supply with her mouth. The temperature around her suddenly plummets, her hair crystalizing over again, and bits of frost appear over Kula's clothes as she eyes the two fighters in front of her. She sits up on her knees, holding her hands together, and a small miniature hurricane seems to form between those gloves, made entirely of ice crystals. Her hands rise up, and then she clutches the miniature storm in one hand and slams it into the ground. A huge crystal-like shape erupts out of the ground, formed entirely of ice. Then another, and another, and another, each one taller than Kula. And they keep going, straight in a line towards Guy and Benimaru, jutted at different angles. It'd be really pretty...if it wasn't moving like a bus at them.

Benimaru doesn't know about Guy but he manages to handle the ice spiking pretty well. This is done with the assitance of his chi, and.. Well a bit of extra pressure as well, long strands of electrical chi swirl and jump from his form as he jumps up and strikes at one of the passing spikes.
Doesn't make much of a dent though, he actually hurts himself as he's pushed back. Hand shaken out he waits to see what happens to Guy- It'd sort of be a waist if he waite- Oh what the hell. He shoots a very quick knee toward Guy, striking him wherever he can, "Hah!"

While Benimaru might be able to just muscle the ice aside, Guy has other plans. He sees Kula's attack coming, and decids right then that he's not going to be able to safely get out of the way of all of those icicles, and he's definately hurt too badly to be able to just weather the storm. So he charges at Benimaru, trying to stay ahead of them for a while. Skidding to a halt in front of the man, Guy's damn practically impaled on an ice spike just as Benimaru nails him in the chest with a knee.
The ice has more force behind it, and so even as he feels himself slipping into unconciousness, Guy is propelled forward toward Benimaru. Straightening his leg with the last of his strength, Guy just wants to kick him full on in the head in passing. That's all.

Thankfully, the icicles aren't /that/ sharp. Kula doesn't try to kill anybody, she just goes for blunt force trauma. ...though, if it hit with enough force, Guy's probably going to feel it tomorrow. Kula wobbles as she stands up again, and then jumps onto the first giant crystal, leaping from one to the next as if the was born to be on the ice. ...which is funny, in a way. She charges towards Benimaru, seeing the shape Guy is in, and then suddenly extends out her foot, catching herself on a crystal. She turns and kicks off the top of the one in front of her, sending it flying at Benimaru's face, still smiling, even as she then flails her arms and hops down off the crystals. ...dizzy spell.

Well HELL. Benimaru had no idea what to do when Guy came rushing at him for one more blow.. And actually that's really annoying. His arms were killing him already so he couldn't put up a decent block, he thinks.
The model can't move fast enough though, the kick hits him dead-on in the head, and for a moment he sees stars- But it's a very brief moment, because Benimaru damn near flickers out for a moment, electricity dancing over his form once more as his faces Kula, and by the time the crystal is kicked, he's already there performing a backflip kick just as the ice smashes him in the face, "HYAAH!" the kicks may not have been as effective in his awkward position, but the slender bolt of lightning that snaps up from the ground afterward at Kula should finishe the job nicely, Benimaru crashing onto the ground right afterward as he holds his face, ".. D.. Damn.." he grunts, ".. Almost had it there," and collapses when his fighting spirit leaves him.
Just a brief rest though, he has to go and interrupt another match later on.
Kula also didn't expect this. The girl finishes her kick, and then immatedly feels lightning jolt through her body as she slips on the ice, and lands flat on her back on the ground. ...everything's getting dark. ...oh, wait, it already is dark, now it's just getting dark/er/. Kula rolls herself over and looks at Benimaru and then at Guy...and then she starts to laugh. And she can't stop laughing at the sight of all three of them lying there on the ground. Eventually, she's laughing so hard that tears run down her cheeks, and she flops back onto her back, staring up at the sky, trying to compose herself. She's tired. It might be a good time for a nap as the medics come over to them.
