Description: Kung Fu vs. Taekwondo, at the Shrine! Kensou and May Lee do mighty battle, with a great deal of kicking and one of the coldest finishes to any match ever. (Winner: Kensou)
A strange location to have a fight, perhaps, but it's the location none the less!
The camera crews have been very respectful to the shrine; holding the combat outdoors rather than inside, though within the grounds itself. However, the announce team seems to be taking a bit of a humorous note to their costumes; dressed as shrine attendants-- the main announcer even wielding a microphone decorated as a gohei.
"Ladies and gentlemen! Boys and girls of all ages! Our wonderful viewing audience!" he barks into the mike, "Let's welcome today's contenders to the competition! At this side in the blue, Korea's own May Lee Jinju!"
Not that there's really a crowd to make a huge note of, but the girl throws her arm up in a big wave regardless, pinwheeling her arm around in a huge circle before breaking into her usual stretching routine, bouncing her weight from leg to leg and snapping her foot up for a brief display of kicks. Her eyes bright and sparkling with power, there's no way that she can lose, today! Nuh-uh, not a chance. She's honestly feeling good after that battle with Kim-- the freak in the red outfit with the gigantic chin was quite the strong opponent!
Looking around for a moment, hand over his eyes and playing it up for the cameras, the man scans around for-- "Oh! And here's her competition, wearing ... blue ... ..." Why do people dress in the same color tones these days? "King of Fighters alumni, Sie Kensou!"
Hey, now. Kensou always dresses in blue when fighting! Or almost always, anyway. He's been doing it longer than May Lee has, in any event. Grinning a bit goofily, the Psycho Soldier waves to what crowd there is... But /he's/ not going through any stretches. That's hard work! Besides, his energy is better saved for the fight itself. The kung-fu psychic's attention is mainly on his opponent, though; the last time he fought May Lee, he lost, so he knows enough to take the girl seriously, even if she is a little weird. The Chinese fighter tugs his gloves tighter as he steps into the intended fighting area, dropping into his usual fighting stance with a flourish; still, he's watching May Lee. "Don't go thinkin' it's gonna be easy, this time!" Kensou says to her.

"Hahaha! Don't go thinking you'll be that awesome this time! You still haven't seen all of my spectacular powers!" May Lee replies, the girl grinning in a manner similar to her scarf-wearing alter-ego. Putting on a bit of a showy backward handspring back up to her feet, her fists pull back and she breathes a bit hard, getting ready and set. "Be ready!"
"GIDDITOOOOON!" Nobody said this announcer was sound in mind.
So on cue, May Lee makes the first move, swiftly sprinting down at the psi-wielder. Planting one foot in mid-stride, she ducks low and springs into the air, busting out a rather mean jump-kick aimed at Kensou's chest to start off the festivities. "Here comes the JUSTICE!"

Well, maybe Kensou /hasn't/ seen all of May Lee's 'spectacular powers', but the opposite is sort of the case, too! The Taekwondo girl's kick smashes against the Chinese fighter's crossed forearms, and he lets out a quiet 'heh'. "Too slow!" the youth calls, pushing May away... But before she's completely out of the way, he reaches to grab her by the ankle of her kicking leg, twisting to try and smash her down against the paving of the courtyard! "Hua-!"

But he -will-! May Lee's eyes widen a little as his fingers curl around her ankle, knowing from common sense what is to come from a counter movement such as this. Twisting at the hip, she goes for a kick aimed at Kensou's head-- though to no apparent avail. Woosh, her foot swings at his head-- but crash, she hits the ground. Painful, but not too bad; Korea's young apprentice superhero is not one to let a manuver so weak deter her from victory! Hands planting behind her head, her legs whip up hard, arcing in a bastardized back-roll-and-flip to get back up to her feet with a little breathing room. "You better try harder than -that-!"
"Ain't done yet," says Kensou with a grin, already on top of May Lee by the time she's regained her footing. He takes a swing at her with one fist, a wild haymaker intended to either batter or outright power through whatever guard the 'superhero' manages to put up. If the first punch lands, or even just plain hits her blocking guard, the Psycho Soldier will follow it up with a succession of more punches, ending it off with an uppercut to knock the TKD artist back and away! "Hyaa-!!"

If he wants to attack, then bring it right on! Moving forward a step as his punch lands, May Lee grunts and falls back a step-- only to recieve the remaining blows and the solid uppercut right up the kisser! Wonderfully clean hits, yes, but in a rather disturbing display of pure JUSTICE running through her veins, her hands flit out to the sides and her legs kick up, recovering mid-air and landing in a crouch on her feet. Rubbing her split lip, the girl grins widely. "Not good enough!"
Charging forward, Kensou has a familiar friend to contend with, now. The dark-eyed girl makes a spinning jump into the air-- not too high but high enough to recognize the spinning kick aimed at his head, the rotation and proper timing putting her into a mid-air split. Heads up, Meatbun Boy!

Oh man, this could be bad! Kensou knows full well that May Lee's kicks have a way of /hurting/, so it's probably not all that surprising that he chooses to find a way to get around taking the brunt of it. Alas, the Korean girl's spinning kick impacts Kensou's upraised forearm, the impact sending a tingle along his blocking limb. "Not yet!" he declares, twisting around in a full rotation and swinging his leg up to try and strike May with a pretty big kick, ideally before she can really recover from him blocking her!

Damn, that boy has some quickness on him. May Lee keeps her frustration well-hidden, to let her emotions build like that would only make her careless, sloppy, and an ineffective instrument of the LAW. Putting a little push into it as she spins, May Lee gets a little more than arm's length in breathing room before Kensou's already on the attack!
Landing on one foot, her arm comes up to catch the blow, deflecting it with a outward push of her arm. First to come is a swift step in, her foot cutting straight upward to put Kensou into the air. Following it up is a second vicious lash of her strong legs, putting her foot to Kensou and intending to send him right off on his flight! "BREATHING ROOM PLEASE!" she calls back in a taunting manner.
Whoa nelly! Kensou gets tossed away by May Lee, skidding along the ground a bit before rolling to his feet. "Heh," the Chinese youth laughs, rubbing his mouth with the back of one gloved hand. He slips back into his fighting stance, focusing his eyes on the Taw Kwon Do girl, watching what she's going to do... And he's biding his time, ready to act at the next available opportunity!

Ahahaha, feel the wrath! Feel the glory! Be soaked in it's hot hot gloriousness! And enjoy it! Or else you're going to have a whole lot of problems, you know?! May Lee doesn't seem like she wants to let Kensou get his wind back, however, opting to charge right in ahead and bring up her leg as if to make a rather wide, dramatic kick to the noggin, and--
"Psych!"
Though at a bit of an awkward angle, May Lee thrusts forward her hand, curling three fingers behind her thumb and letting out one harsh flick right at Kensou's face. Pain! Harshness! Eat some of that!

But alas... Kensou is totally ready for you this time, May. The Psycho Soldier grins confidently, and he stands his ground throughout the girl's feint, and when May Lee makes her DEVIOUS ATTACK, his hand taps against her sternum at the exact same moment. So sure, he gets flicked in the forehead, but he unleashes a blast of Psycho Power simultaneously, a flash of blue-tinged white that impacts May like a shotgun blast at point blank range to hurl her away from him. "Haa-!!" Oh yeah. That's what you get for flicking him in the forehead!
It was brilliant, right? It sure got Eiji when she did it to hi-- Oh dear. Rattled for a second, the force of the impact drives her back through the air and brings her back to earth with a heavy thump, wind knocked from her lungs and seeing stars for a second. Goddamn, what did he just do, hit her with a ton of bricks...?!
Though she stumbles a little, breathes heavily, May Lee works her way back toward Kensou with a still-light hop in her step. Feint left, feint right-- and then May Lee suddenly whips her leg around-- HARD-- aimed at the Chinese youth's stomach. It blurs with a haze of blue, and should that kick land, she'll hold her foot steady against his gut and whip around with a much more powerful kick to send him flying the other direction!

Oh crap! Kensou certainly wasn't expecting /that/, and he gets kicked around pretty hardcore by May Lee, landing almost at the very edge of the fighting area! "Ugh," mutters the Chinese fighter, shaking his head as he gets to his feet. "Okay, I saw that goin' differently in my head." Back into his stance, the Psycho Soldier tenses, breathing out a steadying breath; motes of blue-white light appear in the air around him, starting to swirl around him like a whirlwind of fireflies, his clothes and hair stirring in the 'breeze'. "Haaaa...."
COMBATSYS: Kensou gathers his will.

Kensou 1/---====/=======|-------\-------\0 MayLee
Her kicks are powerful, graceful, and otherwise ... the best. Well, next to Kim-sensei, anyway! Those are the best kicks ever. And as Kensou is sent into orbit (proverbially) by her almighty special attack, she falls back a few steps and blinks, hands at her sides and looking pretty darn casual for the moment. "Hey! Come on, what's with that look?"
Wasting no time, she makes a swift run at Kensou and begins to yell-- loudly-- starting at a deep and gutteral tone that builds along the way. No joke about it, it'll take a little while for her to make it across the courtyard. But as soon as she gets within distance, she whips-- hard-- in a circle similar to the body-breaking blow from moments ago, looking to put a hard kick to Kensou's side as he practices his mighty sentai pose!

Oh crap, here comes trouble! But Kensou doesn't seem all that worried about the attack coming his way... In fact, when May Lee closes in for the attack, the Psycho Soldier grins confidently. Her foot does indeed get to slam into his side, but Kensou hardly budges, and at the /exact moment/ May's kick strikes home, Kensou's open palm stops mere inches away from her, his other hand braced against that soulder. There's a brief flash of blue in the Psycho Soldier's eyes, before a hellish blast of almost pure white Psycho Power envelops May Lee, a sustained assault that attacks her from every side. It doesn't really last all that long, a few long seconds at most, before the sphere finally overloads and shatters, the last force hurling May away and shoving Kensou back, staggering a few steps; his right palm smokes a little, after having all that Psycho Power focused through it. "...Whew."
Her grill sure was rattled by that.
Apparent, as she spirals through the air in tune with a choked noise that could barely be called some kind of scream, spiralling through the air like she recieved the most mighty bitchslap in the history of mankind. May Lee flies backward and rolls along the ground in a rather uneven and nasty arc before coming to a stop in a big pile of pain.
The announcer brings the mike up to his mouth, the faux paper tassles rattling before-- wait, what's this!?
May Lee twitches. And then plants her hands, crawling up to her knees, then making an unsteady showing to her feet, stumbling a few steps and breathing heavily. "Not ... done... yet..." she says, making a slow and determined walk toward Kensou. Her eyes are still startlingly clear despite a little droopiness in the lids, driven by pure guts and spirit! >O</

That's pretty impressive there, May Lee; Kensou is surprised that the Taekwondo girl is able to get back up after taking such a powerful attack. He even whistles a little, so impressed is he! "Stubborn, ain'tcha? Well, that's a good trait t' have," Kensou says, grinning at the girl. He knows she's a strong opponent, which is why he hasn't been holding back against her! "So lemme show ya what else I've got!!" And now /he's/ dashing right at /her/, before throwing himself forward into an almost completely horizontal leap, his left knee and elbow for a simultaneous strike. "Yo-!" if that hits, then he twists at the waist to strike with his right knee as well! "Yaa-!!" And then, if /that/ hits, he keeps right on twisting, extending his left leg to swing his heel at her head! "Uryaaa-!!

With a strange sense of purpose, with a glint in her eye and her mannerisms gone serious, May Lee waits for Kensou to charge in, still breathing heavily and hard. Again-- her arm raises, though this time crossing her chest as her leg comes up to match. Elbow to arm, knee to knee. May Lee snaps her arm and leg out wide to the side to parry away the blow, stepping in for a rough, mean kick right up Kensou's jaw one more time. Followed, of course, by a second kick... a big boot to the gut with the intention of putting Kensou both to the ground and a little more than arm's length away. "D-Don't count me out ... yet..." she breathes hard, hands going to her knees once again.
Aw, hell. That's not what Kensou wanted to have happen. And now he might actually just be totally screwed! So he gets kicked, twice, hitting the ground pretty hard... But he rolls back, hopping onto his feet and noticing something nearby. A rock, actually, that he kicks up... And then kicks /at/ May Lee, trying to bean her with it. "Huaa--!!" Geez, she's a tough one.

Charging forward after Kensou's back on his feet, she's surprisingly close by the time that he -- "Angh-!" At close range, now, she grits her teeth and bears down for the final blow. Kensou, remember this?! The incredibly hard kick that whips her around in a circle, the blur of blue-- the kick that, while damaging, keeps the meatbun-devouring youth right in place with her foot. May Lee whips around with a second kick as before, to send the young man flying-- and with that spin, twirls in a circle and lands flat on her back. Bleeding from where the stone swatted her right in the face, too. Her breathing is heavy, her eyes are closed, and she's gone pretty limp. She's tired. And beaten pretty good.

You know, Kensou /does/ remember that, and he doesn't much feel like getting hit with it a second time. May Lee's kicks are something to be feared! They are dangerous, filled as they are with the fruits of harsh training and a dedication to JUSTICE!!. However, Kensou's technique has definitely been refined over the past few months, enough so that he can fluidly catch her first kick, and use the momentum to swing her down to the ground harmlessly. Whew, that was a close one! "Sorry," Kensou says to her, with a grin. "Didn't think you'd be satisfied if I didn't go all-out on ya." But, it sure looks like he's won, as he stretches an arm over his head a bit tiredly. He's worn out! "Fuuu~aa!"
COMBATSYS: Kensou has ended the fight here.
Caught! And swept down to the ground. One eye squints closed with the faint trickle of blood that drips down her face, her demeanor surprisingly bright for someone who just had the snot smacked out of them that badly. May Lee opts to lay still regardless, catching her breath and trying not to really put herself into the territory of 'oh god the pain' anymore than she really is-- that exploding manuver of his is one pain in the ass move to recieve, what with the giant bursts of that freaky chi and the utter amount of pain it puts her in. Bringing up her hand with a strong thumbs-up versus the shake in her arm, the grin remains strong. True. "I wouldn't have had it any other way."
The announcer is nearly beside himself at this point, leapt up onto his table and pointing dramatically to the sky. "WINNER! KENSOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU~!"
Another day, another fight. Maybe next time, she'll get the win...
