Description: A beach battle... in winter! Alma would naturally be at his usual disadvantage for being pitted against an attractive woman, but it looks like his increased skills have granted him the latent ability to magically turn into a ninja when he needs to; and you know what *that* means. Not even the interventions of Dong Hwan can save Kyoko now. (Winner: Alma)
Sound Beach. Such a shame, winter came in so quickly and Kyoko did not have the chance to enjoy the beach enough. How much she loved to prowl around here, in her provocating swim suit, the one she wears to enjoy the sea side. She is guilty of being such an exhibitionist. She can't help it. The joy it brings her to know that others turn around when she walks pass them, to feel people's gaze upon her as she walks about. The feeling is not comparable to anything. Sun tanning and letting the waves of the sea gently soothe her into a lovely nap. To embarass a young little teenager by asking them to put lotion over her back. Ah, the delightful memories. A shame that it's all over.
Of course, she still gets a few other pleasures out of life nowaday. At school, of course, but due to the growing cold she has to be a little more conservative in her choice of clothings. Her outfit isn't much different than usual, except that she actually wears a jacket over it. Why is she here in this fight? Well... She's a little low on money, and so, she has to get herself some money! Not only that, but it seems to be a rather popular activities for teenagers nowaday, and so, she might as well just fight the kids from her school here, if any... Though she might not get this chance today.
The beach is being set up for this SNF and Kyoko? Well she's staring off into the distant sky, nostalgic of this summer's time. She heaves a sigh and already misses it. Oh well.
Alma Towazu breathes in the chilly afternoon air with a glowing look of quiet satisfaction. Maybe it's just that it refreshes him after his morning exercises, but there's something wonderful about winter winds. It gives him a warm rosy feeling inside. But warm as the feeling may be, he's still dressed for the cold as well: his snug black sweater is elegant in its simplicity, and he has opted for his favorite pair of dark blue designer jeans as well, the one with the red heart patch on the knee. The tones are dark to match the darkening skies and the overall flavor of the season, but they serve only to enhance the usual brightness of his eyes and the radiance of his calm expression and mild, serene smile.
He contrasts well with the people with clipboards behind him, who are still scurrying about and whispering to each other even though the cameras has already been up and the dais has been successfully erected on the sand. 'Where is Kim Dong Hwan? He better not be late again!' They all seem to be quite busy, there in the background. In the foreground, however, Alma's expression of perfect Zen calm makes all the hurrying seem quite superficial indeed.
Sadly, the impermanence of this world means that even the Zennest of calms don't last forever, and *this* one is disturbed as Alma approaches the stage and sees who his opponent is going to be today. His reaction is not extreme, of course, but it is more than enough; he blinks once, and his lips purse slightly into a little o-shape as his brow parts slightly. It is a look of appreciation. Admiration, even. Now, Alma's a gentleman, so it doesn't last long, and he's pretty subtle about checking Kyoko out. But, I mean, really, how much can you expect?
~ I remember her... ~
"Miss," he says in greeting, smiling -- slightly sheepishly maybe -- and bowing his head in greeting, though he keeps his eyes on hers. "I believe we've met before. At the Halloween party, last month. I am Alma Towazu..."
'If he doesn't get here soon, we're gonna have to start!'
Hearing someone's voice, Kyoko forces herself out of her reverie and she arches a brow, slowly but surely turning around on her heels to face Alma. Her lips curl into a bright smile and she lowers her gaze to actually assess what will be her opponent. The woman can't help it though but let a gentle chuckle out of her throat at Alma's appearance mixed with his demanor.
She returns the greeting by gently bowing to Alma, "Ah yes, I remember you -- a friend of Benimaru, if I recall well." Kyoko states. She straightens herself up and then bites her lips, her hands kept into her coat's pocket, "I do not remember if we had the chance to be formerly introduced, my name is Kyoko Minazuki." She adds.
Kyoko glances about and she hums softly, "I was told a third party was going to participate -- Do you know if he's around?" Kyoko asks, tilting her head to one side, "I have to admit I may feel a little bit rusty, though I guess it's the best way to actually get back in shape -- and do a little bit of spare money in the process. Teenagers, nowaday, they have excessive amouths of talents, it's important to keep up with them after all." Kyoko explains with a nod of her head.
Alma thinks about this for a moment before his smile widens. "Yes, Benimaru and I have a history between us." His hazel eyes sparkle lightly, as though at some inside joke. Meanwhile, his internal monologue continues: ~ --don't know what it is, really, it's very curious. Something about older women, maybe? Funny how I-- ~
But that's not important right now, because one of the managers, red-faced with frustration, finally barks something to the referee, who nods and steps forward. It's an odd place for a fight, especially at this season, so there isn't too big a crowd, but it doesn't really matter; somehow the peaceful ambience seems just ready to swell into battle. Still, when the referee steps forward, he mainly announces to the camera. "Ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to Saturday Night Fights! Sadly, today's Chaos Agent appears to be, er, a no-show, but--"
As he continues, Alma inclines his head to Kyoko, in a sort of half-shrug. "In that case," he murmurs, "I'll endeavor to be an adequate training partner, Miss Minazuki." And even as he speaks, his right foot slides forward slightly, and his posture straightens and grows more poised and alert-looking even as his limbs relax. "Please... do your best."
And these last words come just in time for the referee's call: "FIGHT!"

Luckily for Alma, the weather doesn't quite allow Kyoko to actually fight in her most revealing outfit. Ask Shingo to tell you about Kyoko's infamous Playstation outfit. Now that obviously would have given her a great advantage. Right now? The advantage is still there, it's not just as great. With her regal bearing, her feminine poise and the way she moves, it obviously cannot be ignored my any man who has some ounce of heterosexuality left in them. That's just how it is, not that Kyoko actually minds the intention.
With a soft chuckle, Kyoko finally slides her hands out from her pockets and she says, "I see. Well you two are both handsome boys. I have to admit, the little heart patch on the knee is very cute." Kyoko says, on a totally different side note.
As the referee announces the beginning of the fight, Kyoko gives him a slight nod of her head before her eyes return over to Alma. "Very well... I won't go easy on you..." She grins and adds, with a wink, "... I hope you will do the same... Because I like it rough and hard." Kyoko says.
After that little comment, Kyoko sprints over to Alma and she leaps in the air, "Kyaaa!" She shouts as her right leg swings about and is hurled over Alma. Just as that leg swings about, Kyoko's other leg comes up and vice-versa, helping her spinning around on herself as she goes all Hurricane Kick on Alma. Except that it's Kyoko's own version. Kaishin!

"Wha--?"
~ She likes my patch... ~
If Kyoko had just left it at that, she probably would've got him. Poor Alma, in his mild little way, looks a bit dumbfounded. Getting attention is one thing, but getting straight-out compliments is something he's not entirely used to, and his return smile is almost child-like in its appreciativeness. He might as well be shuffling his feet or something. Fortunately, he's not, but he looks like he might be on the verge of doing so. Spacing out slightly, he only half hears her next words.
~ She likes it--
--oh no she *didn't*! ~
Flattered bemusement becomes mild indignation, and with this ambiance, that small fire is all the energy he needs to ignite his fighting spirit. The flow of battle surges to him, the song ringing in his mind, and he twists and rolls under Kyoko's attack, turning as he does so as to gracefully and easily rise right back into a crouch, facing her back alright. "Miss Minazuki," he says, young voice sounding almost grave, "that is highly inappropriate."
He heightens the impact of his words with a instinctive burst of soul-flame -- it'll char her mind with the feeling of burning and assault her sense of self... but it probably won't damage her outfit. "KUUSEIHA!"

Unfortunately for Kyoko, her wide sweeps with her legs only goes through the air and cuts through it without touching anything. After a few of those kicks, without hitting anything, Kyoko loses the momemtum to keep herself going and so, she lands gracefully on the ground, swirling on her heels idly and kneeling slightly to regain her balance in the most nimble way.
Such a stylish landing though costs her some reaction time, enough for Alma to fire off his burst of energy right at her. It hits her right in her midsection and Kyoko actually staggers back a few steps in surprise. She blinks a few times and bites her lips, one hand clenching around her chest. She pants softly and her lips curl into a smile, "Inappropriate? What is? Nothing's wrong with that attack of mine, is there?" She asks.
With a soft cough, Kyoko then tries to approach Alma and she says, "Very well then, if you do not wish to get physical just yet, let's try some other option we have for the time being." And with that, as Kyoko draws closer to Alma, she attempts to reach for one of Alma's limb, anyone. And if she suceeds, she'll swiftly move her grasp around to actually use pressure against Alma's joints to force him to be where she wants. Or at least to avoid getting hit again for at least a couple of seconds.

To his credit, Alma's experience with grapplers has gotten better over the course of his 'career'; which is to say, it has gone from being "absolutely and completely inexperienced" to "learning how it feels to be German Suplexed by Mimiru Kasagi". Really, it's Alma's Psycho Power-enhanced awareness and, most of all, sheer luck that allows him to evade this one. He slips free, not even fully realizing she was going to try and get him in a joint lock until after he's already evaded the attack, and shifts his momentum into a quick sweeping low kick, his powerful leg aiming to knock her off her feet, as it were.
He has little to say in response to her words, save what he uses for his kiai with his attack:
"Hmph!"

Alma 0/-------/------=|===----\-------\0 Kyoko
Unfortunately for Alma, when it comes to legs, Kyoko's quite an expert in this field -- meaning that she's not a frail little girl, she's got some good hold of herself. She's totally grounded. In fact, the incoming kick is merely met with Kyoko's own leg and she blocks Alma's attempt to knock her off her feet.
Kyoko can't help it but frown a little. Was she truly getting rusty? Things aren't getting too well for her at the moment. Time to get truly serious. At least, take this more seriously, "You still haven't answered my question, dear." Kyoko says, lips curling into a grin as she swirls around on herself and attempts to deliver Alma a powerful rising back-rising kick as she performs her half-turn on herself.
In truth, Dong Hwan and Tony's feuds is not one of the most well known, but the pair has most assuredly have issues with each other. That's why when the good mister Howard decided to set them up in a fight together, Dong Hwan was overjoyed that he'd be able to unleash some rage on the hapless Tony Styles.
How unlucky that he isn't around. However, Dong Hwan isn't quite aware of that just yet--running in late as he's been known to do, he really doesn't even bother taking time to survey the situation before performing his 'chaos agent' duties. Some may have time to notice him running along the beach, sand kicking up all around him, and hopefully Alma does, because he's making a line for him at the moment, having just finished making a stop to shove an SNF staff member over and grab the camera away from him. There should be more than one, anyway, hopefully this angle isn't important.
As he approaches Alma, he uses both arms to swing the Camera at full speed, trying to slam it in to Alma's head with all his might, knocking the fighter to the side if he can. Or even if he ducks out of the way, Dong Hwan just wanted him to move out of his way. Either way, the Korean, camera wielding maniac then stands in place, looking around with a rather hyperactive and only slightly annoyed look in his eyes, as he realizes Tony is nowhere to be found. "Where's Styles?" Dong Hwan says simply, not having the time or care to put more effort in to it.

Well, everyone, it's time for today's episode of: Zen Master Rotating Slow-Motion Matrix-Style Camerawork! Watch in awe as Alma, eyes half-closing with the calm non-effort that is his subconscious defense mechanism at work, just barely tilts his head and body out of the way enough to avoid Kyoko's attack, and then, psyche suddenly screaming at him at the onset of someone with violent intent behind him but his face making no visible notice of it, he seems to *accidentally* lean back, farther back, farther back until his left hand touches the ground. Pivoting, he thrust himself up onto his hand and manages to just barely evade the swung camera as it cracks against the ground, and Alma performs a Yashiro Push-Up (TM) to, boosted by the gathering force of his righteous fighting spirit, shove himself up *into the air* and immediately retaliate, both feet igniting with the white-pink flame now flashing in his far-too-calm eyes, with a series of thrusting kicks, rising upside-down into the air at Kyoko.
Sheesh.
Even as he's attacking, his gaze lifts to meet Dong Hwan's, and...
"ORA ORA ORA ORA!" is what he says, but that's because he's kicking. If he's left standing afterward, though, no matter what the result, he'll look to Dong Hwan and say, "Tony Styles? He is not here..."

This is rather frustrating. Where's the swiftness in her movements? Where is the speed? She's not under the influence of alcohol or anything and this young man here is just parrying her assaults, stepping aside and hitting her with little to no trouble... Is it just her? Is she just getting out of touch? Gasp! No, she refuses! That is impossible! She can't let this happen. There's definately something wrong here!
Yet again, Alma's attack hits Kyoko right on. Those flamming kicks causing Kyoko to stagger back a couple of steps and actually losing her balance. The woman shakes her head slowly and she growls, giving a few gentle slaps in her face, "Come on Kyoko! What's the matter with you?" She mutters to herself, bitting her lips. She groans a bit to herself and she tries to regain her composture. Alright, Alma won this round, now this is the beginning of the second round.

"Oh." Dong Hwan says upon being informed of the unfortunate discovery that his true victim isn't around. He takes a moment to muse on this, deciding what he should do from here, before finally catching a good glimpse of Kyoko, looking her over once as a grin slowly creeps over his expression. Despite having just attempted to slam Alma with a Camera, the Korean hotshot leans over as though he was totally on friendly terms with his fellow man, so that he can go ahead and murmur, "She's a babe."
With that stunning revelation past, Dong Hwan decides to both do his proper duties as a Chaos Agent, and introduce himself all in one motion. Leaping through the air, quite possibly over Alma, after his attack, he ends up landing on Kyoko. The idea is to land on her hips first, his legs clamping down around her waist once he impacts against her.
With any luck--and if not, disregard this paragraph--this aerial tackle will knock her back down to the sand below the pair, Dong Hwan ending up straddling her stomach. So much for taking things slow. "Hey, cutie. Kim Dong Hwan, fighting Genius and professional lover..." A hand lifts up as though he was offering her a hand shake despite the awkward position, coming along with his... introduction of sorts. If nothing else, it should wake her up! Maybe her performance will increase after her time out with Dong Hwan.
Alma, looking serene and infinitely composed, glances at Dong Hwan as his fellow teen leans in to murmur in his ear. There is a pause, as Alma appears to digest this information.
Then he grins.
"Definitely."
As Dong Hwan leaps, though, Alma wastes no time and rushes as well. The Korean gets there first, but the youth continues his rush by performing an aerial -- a handless cartwheel, as it were -- and twisting in midair to aim a fierce and powerful kick to the back of Kyoko's head. Of course, Dong Hwan is trying to tackle her to the ground, so... this may end up very strangely...

Alas, things do not quite happen as planned for DongHwan on that one. Those few slaps on her face were all Kyoko needed to shake things off and get back into action. Kyoko actually steps aside just in time to avoid the Korean's aerial assault. He doesn't land on her hips, but instead just in front of her, without getting much of a possibility to actually get around her waist, much less straddle it.
Lips curling into a grin, Kyoko nods to Dong Hwan, "It's a pleasure to meet you, sweetie. Genius fighter and professional lover? That's very original... A shame then, I suppose this professional must have already found his true love and is no longer in the love market."
Her conversation's more or less interrupted by Alma's interference though and Kyoko actually sidesteps to avoid the incoming kick, countering with a kick of her own -- one and then another and the third one, meant to literally send Alma down to the ground is an axing kick from above. Smack!
Dong Hwan lands and stumbles, staggering just a bit after whiffing his attack, almost falling in to Kyoko anyway, though it would've been notably weak even if he did tumble over. He does manage to keep his balance, however, looking up at Kyoko from his new position, a grin still on his face despite his dry humping resulting in failure. "For someone as beautiful as you, I think I have the love to go around."
The hotdog puts it on ice for a moment, however, when Kyoko has to stuff Alma, which she manages to do. "Hey, nice moves." With Alma downed, Dong Hwan lifts one leg to kind of half heartedly stomp down on the poor fellow, his foot stomping down on Alma's chest briefly, causing some extra pain for him if he can't roll out of the way in time. Of course, the pain comes from a combination of physical stomping and an oversized electrical spark, the shock to his chest bearing quite a lot of power with it, displaying Dong Hwan's balanced prowess in physical power and energy manipulation.
With that stomping aside, he returns attention to Kyoko to ask, "How about you show me how you move after dark. I bet it's just as nice... mmm." Well, he's had more lame pickup lines in the past, anyway.

Oof. Alma is slammed onto the ground on his back by the series of kicks, looking dazed -- at least until Dong Hwan looms over him. Recovering his senses just in time, the fighting model cross-blocks the stomp and then, teeth gritted and eyes flashing, attempts to absorb the majority of the electrical charge with his auric mental defenses. The lightning clearly does damage, but it doesn't seem to faze Alma as much as it should; and thus, he's able to roll quickly to the offensive, hurling himself into the air... and right foot igniting, Alma launches out in a fierce hooking flying kick, right for Kyoko's head. "SHOOTING STAR!"

Kyoko can't help it but chuckle a little at Dong Hwan's words. Did she come here to have a nice small flirt or to actually fight? Why not get the best of both worlds while she's at it? Kyoko shakes her head and she says, "Ah, this sounds like certain blond men I know... And unfortunately, that kind of attitude doesn't give you extra points with me..." Kyoko says.
"Well thank you," Kyoko says to Dong Hwan, giving her a slow nod of her head, "Oh, you have no idea what those legs can be used for after dark... I don't think you'd like to know, really... It's the kind of secret that, once you know, you can't come back." Kyoko says with a wink. The woman then returns her attention to the fight at hand and when Alma goes for powerful kick, she narrows her eyes and she pulls out of the way, just barely in time. The woman staggers back and she smiles at Alma, "Not bad... Considering those kicks you gave me, I bet that would have hurt a lot... You've got a lot of potential using your legs, Alma, that's good.."
Kyoko then quickly turns around on herself, making a full rotation as she swings her leg about to deliver a powerful kick into Alma's midsection. A single slow kick, but with the momemtum to give it quite some power. She shouts and then, whatever the result of the kick is, she says, "The name is Kyoko, by the way. Kyoko Minazuki."

Dong Hwan's attention is already on Kyoko, he might as well attack her, too, like he's supposed to. "I see, I see," Dong Hwan says with a nod, understandingly and speaking like he was going to find a different approach. Fortunately he's probably unable to figure out the comparison is to that of Benimaru--assuming it is, anyway.
"Mmm, a deliciously mysterious woman, I like it." Dong Hwan observes, making sure to look at her legs at the mention of this. "Oh, I'd like to know. I'd die to know." Dong Hwan assures, perhaps a little overzealously. He pauses just long enough to give Kyoko time to react to Alma, before a single leg tries to sweep Kyoko's out from under her, trying to see just how graceful those legs can be, of course.
"Kyoko," The Korean says casually, his big, goofy grin still plastered to his face. Hit or miss, he goes on to say in the same voice, "A beautiful name for a beautiful woman, of course!"
Psychic or not, Alma can't help but be surprised at this sudden turnaround. The Shooting Star Kick missed! That's no good. Not expecting this at all, he even stumbles slightly after the execution -- so by the time he turns around, it's already far too late to get out of the way. He practically walks right into the kick, as it impacts just as he turns to face her, and he doubles over and is sent sliding back, grunting heavily and slumping as the force travels through his body. Wow. That stung.
But there's one advantage to being doubled over, hands clutched to his chest... they can't see his eyes or hands. So it's with a sudden and unprecidented motion that his head snaps up, eyes blazing and hands blazing with the same pinkish-purple light, and with a resounding battle cry -- "Uuuryahhhh!" -- he sweeps his right hand out and sends a trail of gleaming light shooting across the ground in a staggering, wavering line, heading straight for where Kyoko stands. He takes a quiet breath, recovering himself a bit as he raises his right hand...
...and snaps.
The ground beneath Kyoko's feet explodes in a geyser of Psycho Power flame.
Whatever the result, when the steam and smoke clear, Alma is standing there and, though looking calm overall again, there is a hint of perplexity in his features. "Potential... with my legs?" he says, sounding slightly confused.

One thing at a time..." Her eyes then turn off over to Alma and she attempts to actually do something against the incoming blast of energy but alas, Kyoko just stands there and she takes most of the powerful blast.
Kyoko then pants softly, still standing there. "Alright then... Seems like I've been taking things a bit too lightly..." Kyoko says, panting a bit and attempting to catch her breath back.

Alma watches quietly, expression calm despite his battered condition, as Dong Hwan closes in. With an oddly graceful motion, Alma sweeps his arms up and sinks into a crouch, looking like a mixture between a crane-style kung fu technique and a ballet maneuver... and just leaps into the air. He goes sailing several feet over the Agent's kick and sails over to where Kyoko is recovering, raising his fists into guard position before aiming a blurring jab at her face and then launching into a series of fierce punches to her torso.
Really, it's eerie how calm those eyes are. Like he's somewhere else.

After Kyoko takes her breath back, she lifts her hand up over her shoulder and she winces slightly. Her muscles are so tensed up it hurts. But thankfully, Kyoko is working on solving this little problem, her long and slender fingers gently kneading her flesh through her clothes, massaging vigorously her muscles and letting the warmth and heat from the movement actually relax her muscles and ease away her pain. Kyoko heaves a soft sigh. Though it does her little good as Alma's quick punch actually takes off what little bit of strenght she has left. At least, all the strenght she has for physical assaults.
She can't do that? Well she'll merely do other things then. Like... This. She attempts to get a hold of Alma's body and if she does. Well he's in it for a lot of pain. Because she is going to play around with his articulation, from arms to legs. Headlock, armlocks, sharpshooters, a submission after the other. She's going to work him out good. "There... Alright boy, you've put quite a fight... I'm all out..." She says.

With his leg moving back down to the ground below him, Dong Hwan lets out a bit of a snort. "Lucky." He grunts simply. When Kyoko ends up going down due to Alma's punch, Dong Hwan turns to look at Kyoko with a slightly saddened look in his eyes. Aww, babe went down already. But hey, might as well try to help her in the final assault.
After Kyoko touches Alma up, Dong Hwan does even more meanness, delivering 10 kicks to Alma's chest and shoulders, battering him around a good bit with his Korean TKD legs of fury. Now /those/ are some legs. Maybe Kyoko is still awake to see this onslaught at least. Finally, a single kick would send Alma and Dong Hwan in to the air, the leg surrounded by a massive bolt of lighting, completely eclipsing his body and sending a powerful current through the Psycho fighter. Dong Hwan would then right himself and land on his feet after performing a flip--Alma, should the attack hit, will likely not be so lucky.

Eyes gleaming, he pushes away from his punch, just barely weaves out of the way of the first grab -- and then begins to parry and avoid a series of two attacks simultaneously. He uses his right arm to block each one of Dong Hwan's ten kicks, while simultaneously rolling his left arm and sweeping around his left leg to prevent the side that Kyoko is assaulting from being grabbed, until she runs out of stamina and is forced to collapse. Dong Hwan pushes off, but Alma is left standing.
Calm, resolute, he lowers his hands... and exhales.
"Shaaaaaaa..."
...awesome.
