Description: [OOC] Dr. Tran says, "Goddamn, you two. Get on with it already!" Dr. Tran wants to see violence, and bloodshed! Xiangfei says, "Give us our awkward teen moment! C_C" (Winner: Rock)
How classic.. How historical.. How wonderous! Welcome to some random, run down colosseum smack dab in the middle of Greece! Some people aren't historical nuts, but you don't have to be one to realize just how cool it is to be having a fight on an old old old old old school arena like this. And to top it off, it's a nice day out too, not as chilly like in japan. Tourists and residents alike are all gathered at the large structure, a good quarter of it torn away due to age, and the ground is all sandy and littered with broken pillars here and there. Who knows what happened all those B.C.s ago?
Li Xiangfei doesn't. She knows jack and squat about history, but she's not hear to learn about that, she's here to fight, and eagerly anticipating for a lion or something to join into tonights fray! The girls dressed up in her dark blue Chinatown High School uniform, dress rolled up and tied at her knees, her hair's worn down in a red skullcap, the damaged bit growing back but not enough to wear her bells in her hair. So her beltloop will hold them instead! She's got mixed feelings about her opponent today though, it'd been a while since she'd seen Rock Howard.. She's not even sure how she'll act around him once he arrives; if he hasn't already. Guess all she could do is wait and see!
This is pretty old-school. But maybe that's a nice change of pace from what Rock's used to -- urban places, city faces. That kind of thing. After a narrow loss to a ninja earlier that week, Rock's been dropped out of his 1st place position, but he still carries a great deal of attention from the pundits of the Neo League as a contender. And here he is, working on climbing back up the ladder to where he once was.
Rock arrives dressed much as he always is, walking down the length of a staircase -- ancient and withered -- towards the floor of the arena, both hands slipped into his pockets. Once his feet dig in to the dirt floor of the place, Rock just looks at his opponent, and then he looks straight up into the air, checking the location of the sun, and then turning right back silently. Looks like Xiangfei isn't the only one with mixed feelings.

Xiangfei curls in her lips a bit.. Not -too- awkward! "Uh, hi.. Rock," she finally squeaks, her cheeks reddening a bit as she pokes her pointer fingers togeather, "Let's have a good fight today all right?" and the chinese girl grins a bit, getting into her usual kung-fu stance, palms slightly extended as she gets ready for battle. She's certain she'd gotten a little stronger, so this fight shouldn't be too difficult so long as she remains cool and shows more guts than she's ever shown this fight!
And as if on cue, the call for the match is given, by the cries of the horns. Sweeeeet. Though Xiangfei faulters a bit, taking a step forward, then stops.

Rock's red eyes fix on Xiangfei, a faint sneer on his lips. "Hey, Xiangfei," he responds, coolly, and without emotion as he slips into his own fighting stance -- that distinct, ready bob of action and movement. He doesn't move to attack, as though waiting for Xiangfei to make the first move. When she doesn't? He pauses, movements slowing and steadying as he continues to watch his opponent, waiting for some sign of action out of her.
COMBATSYS: Rock focuses on his next action.

Hmnn.. What could Rock be waiting for? For her to make the first move? The chinese fighter grits her teeth lightly; brown eyes shift after the greeting, and she gives another small nod of her head.
Well, there wasnt going to be room for awkwardness much longer, she'd have to concentrate on taking down the blonde as quickly as she could. And so she claps her hands togeather, fans out her fingertips, then pushes her palms outward, leaving her fingers to make a diamond shape, "HAH!" and a golden pillar of chi just.. Exists, swirling and racing about her small form!

Rock's eyebrows barely twitch when Xiangfei begins to prepare for -- well, something major. Once he does happen? Once it happens, he takes off towards her. Rock crosses ground, boots scraping against the dirt floor as he all but hurls himself towards his opponent. The moment Rock is close, however, he swings himself forward, planting his palms into the dirt and sending himself feet-first straight up, using Xiangfei's diamond fingers like a target for his spinning strike. "Rising... TACKLE!"

Um, ow. Not a great start, Xiangfei was in a defensive position already, but Rock tears right through her defenses with the rising tackle, and boy that's a lot more painful than it looks! struck multiple times, the small chinese fighter goes sailing upward, and crashes flat on her back, eyebrow twitching as she sits up and brushes some of the dirt off her shoulders, ".. Ow," she grumbles, shaking a bit as she gets back to her feet and goes on the offensive, clapping her hands togeather again as she twirls around, and this time releases a blast of chi toward the young Howard, the blue and white wave thrown out to hopefully knock the boy back and give her some breathing space, "HYAH!!"

Rock rights himself in mid-air, recovering from his Rising Tackle with a grace of movement that even Terry lacks -- or, at least, chooses to achieve through sheer speed and technique as opposed to grace. The boy hits the ground with both feet, darting backwards and awayas he spots the Nanpa hurled his way; indeed, he times the movement just so that his speed backwards and the speed of the projectile are matched. For an instant or two, the two things, target and projectile, hang in mid-air, relatively still next to one another... before Rock /bats/ it away with one hand burning with purple chi, driving it straight into the dirt, which bursts from the surge. Rock's free hand, still blazing, hurls a wave of energy right back at Xiangfei. "REPPUKEN!"

Xiangfei's eyes widen as soon as Rock slaps her powerful blast aside- She's impressed, but this is also a good oppostunity to back off, as she's realizing just exactly what Rock is up to before he even does it. Xiang starts back flipping then leaps into the air and crouches behind one of the broken pillars that is completely obliterated by Rocks blast, dust and debris flying everywhere!
The dust cloud is so large.. Surely then, Xiangfei is dead........
*cough cough* "Oh geez, augh.. AAH! It's in my -eyes-!" Xiangfei cries, rubbing at said eyes as she staggers out of the cloud.
And then there's nothing -- after all, nothing could possibly survive that much dust. Except, perhaps, for Rock, who bursts through the barrier of dust particles without hesitation or delay, clearing a path through it with sheer velocity as he makes a grab for Xiangfei at her wrist, looking to swing her into the air and then right back down -- but down and outside the dust cloud, where her vision will be undisturbed. Hardly a wise tactic.

Xiangfei can't see anything, there are tears streaking down her cheeks, and one arm is flailing as she continues to cough. One might say she was in a really bad position for Rocks very quick attack, however she displays totally mad skills by falling flat on her face, tripping over her own foot and outside of the cloud, evading Rocks grab in the process. She sits up, rubs her eyes, and then hey! She can see again! She gives a thoughtful look then, reaching into her pockets to draw out a yen coin and clicks her tongue, "Hmn.." the coin pocketed again, she instead makes another quick hand motion, closing an eye as she mumbles something under her breath. Perhaps this is the opening she needed!

As the dust clears, Rock, too, sets his sights on Xiangfei and what she's doing -- but he doesn't seem fazed. Instead, he waits and stares right back at Xiangfei, assuming his combat stance carefully and--clenching his fists? Rock grunts, faintly, and a faint breeze begins to disrupt the dirt around his person, a breeze confirmed by its effect on his hair and jacket. He's up to something -- whatever something is.

Wait a minute.. Didn't we just see this before? Though chances are that Rock isn't going to get pwned by whatever it is Xiangfei has planned for the young fighter, but whatever, right? As Rock starts to tear it up hardcore, Xiang goes on the offensive, sort of, hand in her pocket again as she nods, "Ok, now," she murmurs, hands drawn back as if about to huck a hadouken, but instead the yen coin makes a musical *tink* and soars toward him like a little bullet, looking to smack the young Howard right between the eyes, "HAH!"

The winds that circle around Rock continue to gather and circle around his person. The storm that is gathering is so great that Xiangfei's coin is buffeted by the growing hurricane, knocked off course so that it only rebounds off of Rock's shoulder, ricocheting right off as he continues to gather energy. Purple wisps of energy give way to blue ones, and the dust gathers and gathers. If he says 'wage', you have permission to kill him.

Holy crap! Rock is going TOTALLY HARDCORE! What's a gal to do? Xiangfei has to raise an eyebrow at the madness of raging clouds and stuff, she's expecting it to thunderstorm any minute now. And you better believe that something like that isn't going to bode well with the way her hair is currently styled, ".. Uh.. Woah?" she murmurs, quirking an eyebrow and then tromps forward a bit- This time there's no kung-fu involed, ti'd be a bit of a waste to throw a coin against power like that, but how about a large hunk of pillar?? "Hey, knock it off!!" the girl cries, displaying good strength of her own as she grunts the life the large chunk of granite over her head and then hurls it at Rock, "NGAAAAH!" eat -that-, energy!

The moment Xiangfei takes her eyes off of Rock to focus on the act of defacing an ancient Greek legend, Rock moves. And he moves /fast/. It's been observed by some, and commented upon by many, but when Rock wants to cross a short distance at speed... he can move like greased lightning. Rock is right on top of Xiangfei in the flash of an eye, burying his fists in the ground from four feet away and entirely deflecting the column-chunk off into a random direction. And then--Xiangfei has the remaining afteraffects to deal with: Power, wind, and amazing amounds of chi blazing right in her face. "Raging--STORM!"

An appropriatly named attack, that much is for certain. And the Heavenly Hip-Hop Honey has faced obstacles aplenty, but she can't recall facing such a powerful attack like this one before! ... Well.. There was the Galactica Phantom.. And that attack is TOTALLY SWEET. In a meek attempt at a defense, her golden pillar roars around her again to keep the chi from overwhelming her, and she tightens herself up, arms crossed in front of her face and grunting herself, feet dragging along the floor as she's pushed back and she can finally hop away safely, soot and dirt smudges over her face and clothes, "... Ugh,"
She's really not going to get anywhere at this rate, it's time to press the offensive more insistantly, thrusting a palm at Rocks shoulder. Should she be lucky and make that connect, it's followed by a shoulder rush to the boys exposed side, "HYAH!!"

Xiangfei's ability to recover from the assault that was dealt her surprises even Rock -- he gets struck by the subsequent attacks, each one rocking him backwards more and more in the way of the blow. Rock skids to a sudden halt, however, steeling himself once more and setting his sights squarely on Xiangfei with the intention of coming right back for a renewed assault -- and that wind is starting to kick up once again.

Wow, that Rock is a sparky one, isn't he? Xiangfei isn't even sure what to think when the boy seems to be going on the defensive again.. What's up with that? What's he up to? She doesn't really have a lot of time to ponder it though, going over what's happened thus far, lets see.. The penny was no good.. The column was no good.. What else could break his guard? It starts with Nan.. And ends with,
"PAAAAAAAA!!" the girl claps her hands togeather and stomps forward, releasing another blast of chi at Rock when her palms thrust outward, this one for sure should take him out! .. Uh, she thinks, "I have you on the ropes, do I??" Xiangfei boasts, finally grinning a bit.

Rock's red eyes widen with a shock as Xiangfei keeps coming -- faster than he wanted her to, anyways. "Tch--" he grunts, teeth gritting as he rolls back to the side, the energy he charged flowing into his hands as he hurls his Double Reppuken through the Nanpa, essentially eating it alive and driving the projectile faster towards his opponent. "Double--REPPUKEN!"

It's indeed faster, but it isn't fast enough, there's a little glint in the girls eye when Rock responds; agruably as she had hoped, but the ultimate result is history repeats itself... Sort of. Xiangfei's already backflipping again, the blazing chi of the double reppuken hot on her tail- Again she takes advantage of a very conveniently placed column piece, large cloud of dust, you know the deal. But this time,
"RAAAH!" a big hunk of granite goes flying from the mess again, Xiangfei staggering out afterward and wiping off the back of her mouth, "Ptoo.. Oh this is so gross," Because it is. She's filthy.

Catch. Grab. ... Hurl. That's Rock's pattern, anyways -- with a circular flourish for effect, that is, as Rock snares it in one hand, whirls around three hundred and sixty degrees, and hurls the chunk right back at his opponent, borrowing a page from the ancient greeks on his technique.

The classic discus through. The ancient greeks would be proud. Heck, Xiangfei would probably be starry eyed if she wasn't, you know, in the middle of battle! But not to be one upped, the large rock is whipped back and forth.. But at one point, Xiangfei completely flips out, and she spins around three times before literally falling over when she gives it one last hurl, "YAAAAAAAA-- Ooof!"
It takes everything Rock has -- but he's finally able to dissolve the rock, disintegrating it entirely. The last of the dust rebounds off of his shoulders and face, leaving him more or less unharmed, at least for the time being. "Huff... huff... huff..." It is, however, clear that Rock is beginning to feel the burn. This fight, in short, is taking its toll on him.
Xiangfei isn't exactly all peaches and cream herself, in fact she looks a lot worse, at least cosmetically, she's not looking very attractive right now. But oh well, she'll worry about appearances later, Xiangfei makes a mad dash at Rock, and since she's not doing kung-fu, why not do a little more lack of -fu? Granted, it's taking her a moment to catch up to him, but when she does, you better believe the boy recieves -such- a chop across the chest, followes by a palm strike with her opposite hand, "Hah! KYAH!"

Rock raises one hand to turn aside Xiangfei's blow, blocking with his forearm and shoving it off to the side -- it stings a little, but it gives him an opening which he uses to force his own fist right up into Xiangfei's gut, showing surprisingly little mercy against his opponent as he just aims to hit her hard.

Xiangfei doesn't mind getting hit, particularly when it's such a simple attack. So when Rock swings at the small girl, she's ready!! Or so she thinks. There's that glint in her eye again, and her own fist rears back, reeling forward and attempting to trade blows- The problem though is that her arm is a whole lot shorter; she makes a swish and Rock just belts the girl but good, it sends her back and onto her back, flips over herself and flumps onto her stomach, kicking up a little dust as well. She coughs a bit of dust, groaning as she holds her stomach. Clearly that didn't look very fun, "... crap."
Rock could press the offensive on a girl he just knocked the heck out of. But he doesn't. For whatever reason, Rock takes two steps back instead, waiting, at least, for his opponent to get up. Once she does -- provided she does, at least -- Rock moves right back in and goes on the assault, swinging wide with a sweeping punch to complement his previous punch.

Xiangfei is back up! She manages to get to her feet again, staggering a bit and after a light shake of her head, thinks she's all right. She's quick enough to react to Rocks big swing though, Xiang crossing her arms at the wrist and thrusts upward, re-directing the punch away from her so she doesn't break in half again, "Yah!" So much for him being on the ropes, but Xiang keeps on striking, this time she stomps forward and slams both palms toward Rocks sternum with another cry, "Heeyah!"

Rock takes the hit squarely on the chance, sliding back a few feet -- but intentionally, as he uses the opportunity to try to make a grab for Xiangfei's wrists. Finally, after so much fighting, he finally speaks: "With kung fu this weak... it's a wonder you ever got out of Metro City alive," he roars, whirling backwards and trying to whip Xiangfei square into the ground with all of his might.

Xiangfei has certainly seen better days, yes.. But its still not too late, Xiangfei most definatly still has a chance to shine! While Rocks words are a bit discouraging, she doesn't let it get to her too much, "Now I see why you're quiet all the time," she replies, attempting to sweep away from the throw, and she crashes down hard on the ground instead just as planned, she arching her back a bit as she winces, ".. Rghh.." But as one might expect, she's back on her feet again, "You're only cute until you open your mouth!" she handsprings to her feet again, taking a calm breath and then starts chanting under her breath again. It shouldn't be hard to tell what's coming now!

"And you're only cute--" he roars right back, drifting to the side on one foot, sweeping his hand over the dirt and propelling a wave of indigo energy across the sand towards his opponent.

Xiangfei.. Was caught off-guard by that one.. The waitress actually has no idea -how- to respond, was she supposed to be insulted? Or was that a weak form of flattery? She just blinks, her cheeks redenning a bit and she has noone but herself to blame as she practically -lets- the energy from Rock slam into her, but she falls forward instead of backward, sliding a bit against the dirt once more and panting heavily.
.. Nah, there's no way it could have been a compliment, he had just insulted her kung-fu! She's a bit shaky as she gets up to her feet again though, falling back to one knee once more, "... Ugh.. This is.. Nothing like the first fight," she grumbles, trembling and trying to pyche herself up and get back into this match; it was looking bad, but she could still win! hands clapping she blasts another Nanpa wave at Rock, eyes wide as she cries to push herself past the limit, "KYAAAAAAAAAAH!!"

But alas.. Her body doesn't exactly agree with the mind, and the blast of chi is the last she can break out with. But she doesn't collapse, instead she just completely slouches forward, shoulders heaving as she tries to catch her breath. Her hands clench into fists though as she raises a hand to her face and groans in disappointment- She's had her fair share of embarassing fights though; it wouldn't do much good to throw a fit over it, "... You win, Rock."
Rock reaches out one hand, burning with indigo chi. He essentially just sweeps the Nanpa away, driving it into the dirt with one merciless swing. "Yeah," he says, dryly, opting not to hurl something through and instead just ending the fight. "I win." And that's all he has to say on this subject, immediately turning on his heel and walking, right back the way he came.
Xiangfei sways a little, setting a hand on her knee to keep her balance, and she averts her gaze elsewhere for a moment.. Should he just let him go just like that? After all it's so rare that she sees Rock as is, "R.. Rock! W.. Wait a second, can I talk to you for a moment?" she cries, reaching into her pocket to take out a handkerchief this time, wiping the dirt off of her face, "... Please?"
Rock stops, just as he's about to place his shoe on the first step up and through to the top of the arena -- but he doesn't stop and linger. "What is it?" he says, coldly.
Xiangfei flinches a little, Rocks reaction wasn't unexpected after all. She rubs the back of her head, stature a bit more erect and she says, a bit more forcefully, "I.. I'm not the girl you think I am! I... I..." she grits her teeth, choking on her last words, but she ultimatly chickens out, turning around and walks off in the opposite direction, toward the large opening, her face still red, "Never mind," heck, she figures, at this rate she was probably never going to see him again anyway.
"Fine by me," Rock responds shortly, going right back to his own walk up the stares and into the opposite direction. Rock, it seems, has no interest in hearing stories of innocence, true or otherwise. Whatever decision he has in his mind regarding Xiangfei, he's already made it -- he's up, away, and gone.
